Stability and Self‐Oscillations of a Rotor Containing a Conducting Liquid in a Magnetic Field

This paper considers the problem of the stability in the small of the steadystate spinning of a rotor with a cylindrical cavity partly filled with a viscous, incompressible, conducting liquid in a magnetic field. The responses of the buttend boundary layers and the resultant force exerted by the liquid on the rotor performing circular precession of small radius are determined. The plane of the viscoelastic restraint parameters of the rotor axis was Dpartitioned into regions with different degrees of instability is constructed. Steadystate spinning near the boundary of the region of stability in the space of parameters is studied assuming nonlinear responses of the supports. It is shown that passage through the boundary of the region of stability leads to bifurcation of the steadystate spinning regime, resulting in periodic motion of the type of circular precession. The origin ofperiodic motion from steadystate spinning can be subcritical or supercritical.

Oscillations of a?beam with a?time-varying mass

This paper analyzes dynamical behavior of a simply supported Euler?CBernoulli beam with a time-varying mass on its surface. Though the system under consideration is linear, it exhibits dynamics similar to a nonlinear system behavior including internal resonances. The asymptotical solutions for the beam displacement has been found by combining the classical Galerkin method with the averaging method for equations in Banach spaces. The resonance conditions have been derived. It has been proposed a method for finding a number of possible resonances.Effect of the beam parameters on its dynamical behavior is investigated as well.

Entrance of a body with a lifting force and a heat‐conducting surface into the earth's atmosphere

The problem of gliding descent of a smooth blunted body possessing a lifting force and a heatconducting surface in the Earth's atmosphere is solved. The descent trajectory is represented not only by the altitude and velocity as functions of the flight time but also by angles of attack and sideslip varying with time. Threedimensional equations of a parabolized viscous shock layer for a multispecies mixture of gases are solved jointly with a threedimensional equation of unsteady heat conduction in the solid phase.     

Resonance Waves in a Model of a Two‐Layered Liquid

Shock Compression of a Plate on a Wedged–Shaped Target

Problems of compression of a plate on a wedge–shaped target by a strong shock wave and plate acceleration are studied using the equations of dissipationless hydrodynamics of compressible media. The state of an aluminum plate accelerated or compressed by an aluminum impactor with a velocity of 5—15 km/sec is studied numerically. For a compression regime in which a shaped–charge jet forms, critical values of the wedge angle are obtained beginning with which the shaped–charge jet is in the liquid or solid state and does not contain the boiling liquid. For the jetless regime of shock–wave compression, an approximate solution with an attached shock wave is constructed that takes into account the phase composition of the plate material in the rarefaction wave. The constructed solution is compared with the solution of the original problem. The temperature behind the front of the attached shock wave was found to be considerably (severalfold) higher than the temperature behind the front of the compression wave. The fundamental possibility of initiating a thermonuclear reaction is shown for jetless compression of a plate of deuterium ice by a strong shock wave.     

Axisymmetric wetting of a liquid droplet on a stretched elastic membrane

Wetting of a liquid droplet on another liquid substrate is governed by the well-known Neumann equations. The present work aims to develop an explicit modified version of the Neumann equations for axisymmetric wetting of a liquid droplet on a highly stretched elastic membrane of non-zero bending rigidity. An explicit modified form of the Neumann equations is derived to determine the two contact angles, which is reduced to Young’s equation for a liquid droplet on a rigid membrane or to the Neumann...     

AN ANALYTICAL SOLUTION FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL DIFFRACTION OF PLANE P-WAVES BY A HEMISPHERICAL ALLUVIAL VALLEY WITH SATURATED SOIL DEPOSITS

An analytical solution for the three-dimensional scattering and diffraction of plane P-waves by a hemispherical alluvial valley with saturated soil deposits is developed by employing Fourier-Bessel series expansion technique. Unlike previous studies, in which the saturated soil deposits were simulated with the single-phase elastic theory, in this paper, they are simulated with Biot's dynamic theory for saturated porous media, and the half space is assumed as a single-phase elastic medium. The effects of the dimensionless frequency, the incidence angle of P-wave and the porosity of soil deposits on the surface displacement magnifications of the hemispherical alluvial valley are investigated. Numerical results show that the existence of a saturated hemispherical alluvial valley has much influence on the surface displacement magnifications. It is more reasonable to simulate soil deposits with Biot's dynamic theory when evaluating the displacement responses of a hemispherical alluvial valley with an incidence of P-waves.

Reflection and Transmission of Elastic Waves from the Interface of a Fluid-saturated Porous Solid and a Double Porosity Solid

The reflection and transmission characteristics of an incident plane P1 wave from the interface of a fluid-saturated single porous solid and a fluid-saturated double porosity solid are investigated. The fluid-saturated porous solid is modeled with the classic Biot’s theory and the double porosity medium is described by an extended Biot’s theory. In a double-porosity model with dual-permeability there exist three compressional waves and a shear wave. The effects of the incident angle and frequency on amplitude ratios of the reflected and transmitted waves to the incident wave are discussed. Two boundary conditions are discussed in detail: (a) Open-pore boundary and (b) Sealed-pore boundary. Numerical results reveal that the characteristics of the reflection and transmission coefficients to the incident angle and the frequency are quite different for the two cases of boundary conditions. Properties of the bulk waves existing in the fluid-saturated porous solid and the double porosity medium are also studied.     

Three dimensional shock wave/boundary layer interactions

An investigation into a three-dimensional, curved shock wave interacting with a three-dimensional, curved boundary layer on a slender body is presented. Three different nose profiles mounted on a cylindrical body were tested in a supersonic wind tunnel and numerically simulated by solving the Navier–Stokes equations. The conical and hemispherical nose profiles tested were found to generate shock waves of sufficient strength to separate the boundary layer on the cylinder, while the shock wave generated by the ogival profile did not separate the boundary layer. For the separated flow, separation was found to occur predominantly on the windward side of the cylinder with the lee-side remaining shielded from the direct impact of the incident shock wave. A thickening of the boundary layer on the lee-side of all the profiles was observed, and in the conical and hemispherical cases this leads to the re-formation of the incident shock wave some distance away from the surface of the cylinder. A complex reflection pattern off the shock wave/boundary layer interaction (SWBLI) was also identified for the separated flow cases. For comparative purposes, an inviscid simulation was performed using the hemispherical profile. Significant differences between the viscous and inviscid results were noted including the absence of a boundary layer leading to a simplified shock wave reflection pattern forming. The behaviour of the incident shock wave on the lee-side of the cylinder was also affected with the shock wave amalgamating on the surface of the cylinder instead of away from the surface as per the viscous case. Test data from the wind tunnel identified two separation lines present on the cylindrical surface of the hemispherical SWBLI generator. The pair of lines were not explicitly evident in the original CFD simulations run, but were later identified in a high-resolution simulation.     

Translation of a rigid body with gravity–friction seismic dampers

A refined mathematical dynamic model of a rigid body with a gravity–friction seismic damper moving inside a movable hemispherical rough depression is set up. This model describe the frequency and decrement properties of a rigid body undergoing translational vibrations on a gravity–friction seismic-isolation mechanism. The mechanism consists of two platforms. The lower (supporting) platform has spherical supports that contact with the upper (supported) platform within its hemispherical depressions. The equations of motion incorporate the nonideality of the unilateral constraints and the shock interaction of a material point with the sphere. It is shown how to join the models describing the free motion and the sliding motion of the point over a spherical surface     

Analysis of Isolation Effectiveness of Shear Waves by a Row of Hollow Pipe Piles in Saturated Soils

Wave numbers about the three types of waves in saturated soils are firstly given in this paper. The lengths of the pipe piles are much larger than their diameters, so the isolation problem about SV waves by discontinuous barriers composed of a row of pipe piles can be simplified as a two-dimensional scattering problem. The expansion method of wave functions is adopted, the stresses and displacements at the boundaries between the pipe piles and adjacent soils are considered as continuous and the inner sides of the pipe piles are free, and then the theoretical solutions are obtained about this two-dimensional scattering problem. Normalized displacements are introduced, which are the displacements behind the barriers caused by both the incident and scattered waves to those only by the incident SV waves, contours and curves of the normalized displacements are drawn, and the influences of wall thickness of pipe piles, modulus ratio of pipe piles to soils, spacing distance between the pipe piles and pipe pile numbers on the isolation effectiveness are analyzed.
