On the torsion of a cylinder with several cracks

In this paper, based on paper [1], the analytic expression of the torsion function for a cylinder containing arbitrary oriented cracks is obtained. The problem is reduced to solve a system of singular integral equations for the unknown dislocation density functions. Using the numerical method of the singular integral equations^[2,7] the torsional rigidities and stress intensity factors are evaluated for several multicracked cylinders. Next, the creak-cutting method^[5] is firstly extended to lve the torsion problem for a rectangular prism. The numerical results show that the method presented here is successful.

Torsion of a long circular cylinder having a spherical cavity with a peripheral edge crack

The singular stress problem of a peripheral edge crack around a spherical cavity in a long circular cylinder under torsion is investigated. The problem is solved by using integral transforms and is reduced to the solution of two integral equations. The solution of these equations is obtained numerically by the method due to Erdogan, Gupta, and Cook, and the stress intensity factors, and crack opening displacements are displayed graphically.     

Interaction of crack-tip and notch-tip stress singularities for circular cylinder in torsion

Singular integral equations are used to formulate the torsion problem of a circular cylinder containing a polygonal opening and a line crack. The formulation is based on degenerating a system of connecting line cracks to that of a polygon, the sides of which coincides with the cracks. Considered, in particular, is the torsion of a circular cylinder with a rectangular hole and a nearby slanted line crack. Mode III stress intensity factors are computed at both ends of the crack to reflect their relative position to the rectangular hole in addition to change in the dimensions of the crack relative to the other geometric variables. Recognizing that the singular behavior of the stresses near a reentrant's corner differs from that of the crack tip, intensification of the local stresses at the corners of the rectangular hole is also examined. The results show the influence of the crack size and position.

Saint-Venant problem for solids with helical anisotropy

We discuss the solution of Saint-Venant’s problem for solids with helical anisotropy. Here the governing relations of the theory of elasticity in terms of displacements were presented using the helical coordinate system. We proposed an approach to construct elementary Saint-Venant solutions using integration of ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients in the case of a circular cylinder with helical anisotropy. Elementary solutions correspond to problems of extension, of torsion, of pure bending and of bending of shear force. The solution of the problem is obtained using small parameter method for small values of twist angle and numerically for arbitrary values. Numeric results correspond to problems of extension–torsion. Dependencies of the stiffness matrix (in dimensionless form) on angle between the tangent to the helical coil and the axis of the cylinder corresponding to stiffness on stretching and torsion are illustrated graphically for different values of material and geometrical parameters.     

A note on the pure torsion of a circular cylinder for a compressible nonlinearly elastic material with nonconvex strain-energy

The large deformation torsion problem for an elastic circular cylinder subject to prescribed twisting moments at its ends is examined for a particular homogeneous isotropic compressible material, namely the Blatz-Ko material. For this material, the displacement equations of equilibrium in three-dimensional elastostatics can lose ellipticity at sufficiently large deformations. For the torsion problem, it is shown that this occurs when the prescribed torque reaches a critical value. For values of the twisting moment greater than this critical value, there is an axial core of the cylinder on which ellipticity holds, surrounded by an annular region where loss of ellipticity has occurred. The physical implications in terms of localized shear bands are briefly discussed.     

Torsion of chiral Cosserat elastic rods

This paper is concerned with the torsion of isotropic chiral Cosserat elastic cylinders. First, the generalized plane strain problem is defined and an existence result is presented. Then, the three-dimensional problem is reduced to the study of some generalized plane strain problems. In general, the torsion of the cylinder is accompanied by bending and extension. The method is applied to study the torsion of a circular cylinder.     

Some problems of linear elasticity for cylinders in micropolar orthotropic material

Some special problems for axisymmetric solids made of linearly elastic orthotropic micropolar material with central symmetry are dealt with. The first one is a hollow circular cylinder of unlimited length, subjected to internal and external uniform pressure. The second one is a hollow or solid circular cylinder of finite length, subjected to a relative rotation of the bases about its axis. In both cases, one of the axes of elastic symmetry is parallel to the cylinder axis; the other two are arbitrarily oriented in the plane of any cross-section of the solid. The elastic properties are invariant along the cylinder axis. It is shown that the two problems are governed by formally similar sets of ordinary differential equations in the kinematic fields (in-plane displacements and microrotations). In the general case, numerical solutions are derived. The solution for the cylinder subjected to radial pressure does not significantly differ from that obtained in classical elasticity, at least in terms of radial and hoop force stresses. In the case of a cylinder subjected to torsion the difference between the micropolar and the classical solutions is more pronounced. The torque induces twisting couple stresses about the cylinder axis of variable sign. Finally, size effects in terms of torsional inertia are pointed out.

Cylindrical interface crack in a hollow layered functionally graded cylinder under static torsion

A hollow functionally graded composite cylinder under static torsion, which consists of an inner and outer elastic circular tube with a cylindrical interface crack, is studied in this work. By utilizing Fourier integral transform method, the mixed boundary value problem is reduced to a Cauchy singular integral equation, from which the numerical results of the stress intensity factor are obtained by the Lobatto–Chebyshev quadrature technique. Numerical results demonstrate the coupled effects of geometrical, physical, and functionally graded parameters on the interfacial fracture behavior.     

Perturbations on interfaces between media driven by the vertical ascent of a circular cylinder in a multilayer fluid

The initial-boundary value problem of the vertical ascent of a circular cylinder in a multilayer fluid is considered within the nonlinear theory. In each layer the fluid is ideal, incompressible, heavy, and homogeneous. At the initial instant of time the cylinder is located in the lower layer and begins smoothly to accelerate vertically from zero to a constant velocity. A system of integrodifferential equations of the problem is obtained. As unknowns, this system contains both the intensities of the singularities simulating the fluid and rigid boundaries and the functions describing the shape of the interface between the fluid media. The numerical solution of this system is based on two iteration processes, one of which is associated with time integration using the Runge-Kutta-Felberg scheme, while the other is associated with the solution of a system of linear algebraic equations obtained by discretization of the integral relations in each time step. The problem of the vertical ascent of a cylinder in a three-layer fluid (seawater, fresh water and air) is considered in detail. The results of calculating the perturbations of the fluid interfaces and the distributed and total hydrodynamic contour characteristics are given. The results obtained are compared with the solution of the problem of the ascent of a circular cylinder to the interface between water and air media. It is concluded that the third layer and the Froude number significantly affect the nature of the perturbations induced by the contour. Omsk, e-mail: gorlov@iitam.omsk.net.ru.

The torsion of composite tubes and cylinders

Exact solutions are presented for the Saint-Venant torsion of circular tubes and solid cylinders which are reinforced by cylindrical inclusions of different material equally spaced around a concentric circle. The problems simulate those encountered in matrix rods reinforced by longitudinal fibers, and also in corresponding problems of reinforced concrete. Formulae are obtained for the boundary stress distributions and the torsional rigidities.Stress function formulations are made for the torsion of cylinders having multiply connected composite sections. Two systems of polar coordinates are employed, and use is made both of periodicity and symmetry. Three degenerate cases—the respective torsion of a homogeneous tube, ring of circular rods and tube with eccentric circular holes—are deduced for checking purposes. Several numerical examples are worked out and the results presented in tabular and graphical forms.     

The Elastic-Plastic Torsion Problem: A Direct Boundary Approach∗

A new mechanics theorem pertaining to the elastic-plastic torsion problem is shown; i.e., the complementary energy evaluated on some admissible set of functions is minimized with respect to the transient (free) boundary between the elastic and plastic zones. The elastic-plastic torsion problem is then formulated as an unconstrained shape optimal design problem which treats the free boundary directly as a unknown. Unlike other formulations there is no inequality constraint involved in this formulation. The derivation of shape design sensitivity and numerical results for circular cross section and Sokolovsky's oval are presented.     

Specific features of the nonlinearly elastic behavior of cylindrical compressible bodies in torsion

The torsion problem of a cylinder with a circular transverse cross section twisted by end moments that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction is considered for various models of nonlinearly elastic compressible media. The problem is solved by the semi-inverse method of elasticity theory. The Poynting effect, which consists of variation in the length of a shaft in torsion, is treated qualitatively and quantitatively. The results of the numerical and asymptotic (only terms that are quadratic relative to the displacement gradient are conserved) solutions for various models of the nonlinearly elastic behavior of materials are compared. An analysis of the results shows that in some cases, the quasilinear model is not applicable for studying the behavior of nonlinearly elastic compressible media.

Some results for generalized neo-Hookean elastic materials

Several deformations of non-linear elastic materials are used to study the implications of the strain energy density function being dependent only on the first strain invariant. Two kinds of results are obtained, those that compare responses with and without dependence on the second invariant, and those specific to materials whose strain energy functions depend only on the first strain invariant. The deformations are (i) homogenous biaxial extension, (ii) shear superposed on triaxial extension, (iii) inflation of a circular membrane, (iv) circular shear superimposed on a press fit cylinder, (v) torsion of a circular cylinder.
