Specific characteristics of numerical determination of the boundary effect stress-strain state for an orthotropic strip

The paper deals with the problem of determining the stress-strain state near the boundary of a one-layer strip made of an orthotropic material subjected to a self-balanced load applied at the end of the strip (Saint-Venant effect, boundary effect, and boundary layer). A comparative analysis of two methods for determining the boundary effect is carried out. The first method, i.e., the solution in stresses (with respect to σ_y), was developed by L. A. Agalovyan and gives good results of one-layer strips. The second approach, i.e., the solution in displacements, was developed by the author, and its results for the one-layer strip practically coincides with the solution in stresses. The obtained results were also verified by FEM. But the solution of the problem of elasticity in displacements is much more promising when analyzing multilayer strips.     

Constant velocity motion of a strip die on the boundary of a viscoelastic base

We consider a contact problem on the interaction of a rigid strip die with the boundary of a viscoelastic base. We assume that the die moves at a constant velocity on this boundary and is indented into it by a constant normal force. Friction in the die—surface contact region is neglected. The die base is corrugated in the direction perpendicular to the direction of motion. At the first stage, we determine the displacement of the base boundary due to the normal load applied to it. Then, at the second stage, we derive the integral equation of the contact problem for determining the contact pressure. At the third stage, we construct an approximate solution of this integral equation by using the modified Multhopp—Kalandiya method.     

Near-field measurements and development of a new boundary layer over a flat plate with localized suction

Suction on a turbulent boundary layer is applied through a narrow strip in order to understand the effects suction can have on the boundary layer development and turbulent structures in the flow. Detailed two-component laser Doppler velocimetry (LDV) and laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) based measurements have been undertaken in regions close to the suction strip and further downstream. The region close to the strip involves a flow reversal accompanied by a change in sign for the Reynolds shear stress and strong gradients in the flow variables. The mean streamwise velocity after suction remains larger than its corresponding no-suction value. Relative to the no-suction case, the velocity fluctuations first decrease with suction followed by a slow recovery which may involve a slight overshoot. LIF visualizations indicate that compared to the no-suction case, the low-speeds streaks stay closer to the wall and exhibit a smaller amount of spanwise and wall-normal oscillations with suction. The visualization results are consistent with two-point velocity correlation measurements. The streamwise and spanwise correlation measurements indicate that the structures are disrupted or removed from the boundary layer due to suction suggesting that the original boundary layer has been strongly influenced by suction. The results are explained by the development of a new inner layer that forms downstream of the suction strip.

Equilibrium of an internal transverse crack in a semiinfinite elastic body with thin coating

Static elasticity problems for a half-plane and a strip weakened by a rectilinear transverse crack are studied. In each case, the upper boundary of the body is reinforced by a flexible patch. Various versions of conditions on the lower boundary are considered in the case of the strip. The crack is maintained in the open state by distributed normal forces. The method of generalized integral transforms reduces solving the problem for the equations of equilibriumto solving a singular integral equation of the first kind with the Cauchy kernel with respect to the derivative of the crack opening function. The solutions of the integral equation are constructed by the small parameter and collocation methods for various combinations of the geometric and physical parameters of the problem, and the structure of the solutions is analyzed. The values of the stress intensity factor (SIF) near the crack vertex are obtained.     

薄宽带材局部纵向屈曲的辛弹性力学求解方法

局部纵向屈曲是普遍存在于薄宽带材生产过程的板形缺陷,是屈曲研究的难点,精确的解析求解方法对局部纵向屈曲形成机理的研究和板形质量的提高具有重要意义。本文将任意位置的局部纵向屈曲分为带材边部和内部两类,采用辛弹性力学方法直接推导得到了局部纵向屈曲区域承受不同边界约束条件时的临界屈曲应力和屈曲挠度函数,并将求解结果与有限元和相关文献结果进行了对比。结果表明：辛弹性力学方法与有限元方法相比具有相同计算精度和更高的计算效率,计算精度高于传统能量法;带材边界的约束条件对临界屈曲应力、屈曲区域几何形状和屈曲挠度函数均存在显著影响,验证了传统能量法求解的不足,有利于提高局部屈曲计算精度。     

Boundary element weight function analysis of a strip yield crack in a rotating disk

The boundary element method combined with subtration of Bueckner singular fields are used to obtain weight functions for an internal edge crack in a rotating annular disk. A previously developed, general representation of the weight function is used which leads to integrals that can be evaluated analytically to obtain the stress intensity factor and surface displacements of the crack. The determination of crack tip opening displacements for the strip yield crack is reduced to a non-singular integral which can be evaluated in closed form. The strip yield zone length and crack tip opening displacement are determined for an internal radial crack in a rotating annular disk for a range of crack lengths and rotational speeds.     

Comparison of energy release rate and minimum strain energy density for potential failure of composite with bi-material interface

An analytical method is developed to describe the fields of stress and displacement in a bi-material strip specimen with an edge interfacial crack. All of the basic governing equations, boundary conditions on crack surfaces and conditions of continuity along the interface are satisfied by the eigenfunction expansion method. The other boundary conditions are satisfied by the generalized variational principle. The stress intensity factors are calculated for determining the energy release rate and minimum strain energy density factor S_min that is used the strain energy density criterion. Problems with oscillatory singularity and contact zone are discussed. Not only the effects of bi-material modulus ratio, thickness ratio, Poisson's ratio and crack length to S_min, but also the influences of bi-material modulus ratio, thickness ratio to phase angle are presented. Among these parameters, particular situations where S_min become jeopardously high and lead to failure are discussed.     

Bending Boundary Layers in a Moving Strip

The high-speed transport of thin-sheet materials occurs in avariety of industrial processes. In this paper the method of matchedasymptotic expansions is used to solve the low tension, large-deflectionshape of a convected strip hanging under gravity. To leading order theequations for the deflection in the boundary layer and in the centre ofthe span are nonlinear. Previous treatments of this problem have notaccurately solved the leading-order equation within the boundary layer.The composite analytic solution of the full nonlinear equation isobtained and compares well with numerical solutions.     

Stress Distribution at the Contact of Absolutely Rigid Stamp and Elastic Orthotropic Strip

A plane elastic problem for an orthotropic infinite strip with mixed boundary conditions is investigated. A model of the strip has been built by using the method of integral Fourier transforms. We obtain relationships which allow us to formulate singular integral equations for the various types of boundary conditions on one of its edges. The problems in the case of both smooth stamp-strip contact and rigid stamp-strip adhesion have been considered. It is shown that the effect of anisotropy on the contact stress distribution is minor. The stress intensity factors at the stamp corners, which are the main parameters of fracture, are evaluated. The quasi-invariance of a certain combination of the stress intensity factors is confirmed. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Unsteady Motion of a Gas in a Strip

An exact solution is constructed, which describes a gas glow in a strip between a rectilinear source and sink. With time, the strip turns and expands. In the case of consistent boundary conditions, the flow in the strip is continuous. If the consistency constraints are violated, a shock wave is formed inside the strip.     

Influence of localised double suction on a turbulent boundary layer

The effects of localised suction applied through a pair of porous wall strips on a turbulent boundary layer have been quantified through the measurements of mean velocity and Reynolds stresses. The results indicate that the use of second strip extends the pseudo-relaminarisation zone but also reduces the overshoot in the longitudinal and normal r.m.s. velocities. While the minimum r.m.s. occurs at x/δ_o=3.0 (one strip) and x/δ_o=12 (two strips), the reduction observed for the latter case is larger. Relative to no suction, the turbulence level is modified by suction and the effect is enhanced with double suction. This increased effectiveness reflects the fact that the second strip acts on a boundary layer whose near-wall active motion has been seriously weakened by the first strip.     

Multiple crack propagation in a strip caused by thermal shock

The time-dependent stress intensities due to quenching are calculated by the boundary element method for an array of parallel and equal spaced edge cracks in a long strip. Analyzed is the sequence of crack pattern formation. The predicted patterns have essential features in common with the experimental ones. This tends to support a recently developed approach for analyzing single and multiple crack growth under thermal shock.

弹性带形域中多个半圆柱形凹陷对SH波的散射

对稳态SH（shear horizontal）导波在表面含有多个半圆柱形凹陷的弹性带形介质内的散射问题进行了研究，并给出了解析解。首先，运用导波展开法构造平面SH导波；然后，利用累次镜像法构造出满足带形域上、下两条直边界应力自由条件的散射波；最后，根据凹陷边沿的切应力为零的条件得到定解方程。通过算例分析了累次镜像法的精度、凹陷边沿的动应力集中和上、下边界位移幅值的变化情况。数值结果表明:只有一个凹陷时，中高频率的入射波和小厚度的带形域会引起凹陷边沿更高的动应力集中，上边界位移幅值的最大值会出现在凹陷的迎波面附近；当有两个凹陷时，大多数情况下，第二个凹陷对第一个凹陷边沿的动应力集中起放大作用，并且在理想弹性带形介质内，两凹陷之间的影响在相距无穷远时也会存在。
