Paradox solution on elastic wedge dissimilar materials

According to the Hellinger-Reissner variational principle and introducing proper transformation of variables , the problem on elastic wedge dissimilar materials can be led to Hamiltonian system, so the solution of the problem can be got by employing the separation of variables method and symplectic eigenfunction expansion under symplectic space, which consists of original variables and their dual variables . The eigenvalue - 1 is a special one of all symplectic eigenvalue for Hamiltonian system in polar coordinate . In general, the eigenvalue - 1 is a single eigenvalue, and the classical solution of an elastic wedge dissimilar materials subjected to a unit concentrated couple at the vertex is got directly by solving the eigenfunction vector for eigenvalue - 1. But the eigenvalue - 1 becomes a double eigenvalue when the vertex angles and modulus of the materials satisfy certain definite relationships and the classical solution for the stress distribution becomes infinite at this moment, that is, the para

A NUMERICAL STUDY OF THE STRESS DISTRIBUTION IN HOPPER FLOW

The stress distributions of granular flow in a cylindrical hopper with fiat bottom are investigated by means of a combined approach of discrete element method (DEM) and averaging method. The filling and discharge of the hopper flow are first simulated at a particle level by means of a modified DEM. The results are then used to determine the velocity and stress profiles of the hopper flow by means of an averaging method. The analysis is focused on a central section plane of the hopper due to the relatively perfect axial symmetry. The velocity profiles are illustrated to be consistent with those obtained by the previous experiments, confirming the validity of the proposed approach. The distributions of four components of the planar stress tensor at different heights are quantified. It is shown that the vertical normal stress increases with increasing the height near the central axis, the horizontal normal stress varies more slowly at a higher level and is almost constant when the height is equal to or greater than about 12 particle diameter, and the magnitudes of two shear stresses are equal at the central zone of the hopper but not so at the points near the walls. The dependence of stress distributions on the wall mechanical properties such as sliding resistance and rolling resistance is also discussed.     

ASYMMETRIC DYNAMIC INSTABILITY OF AXISYMMETRIC POLAR DIMPLING OF THIN SHALLOW SPHERICAL SHELLS

If the parameterε~2 ,which measures the thickness-to-rise of the shell,is small,theaxisymmetric polar dimpling of shallow spherical shell due to quadratic pressuredistribution is dynamic instability,i.e.,a small perturbation can change it to an asymmetricpolar dimple mode.In two cases,the problem can he reduced to an eigenvalue problemTw_n=c_nw_n,where T can approximately be reduced to a Sturm-Liouville operator ifε~2《1.The existence of at least one real eigenvalue of T,which means that the axisymmetricpolar dimpling is dynamically unstable,is proved by spectral theorem or Hilbert theorem.Furthermore,an eigenfunction,which represents one of the asymmetric modes of theunstable dimple shell,belonging to an eigenvalue of T,is found.     

EIGENVALUE PROBLEM OF A LARGE SCALE INDEFINITE GYROSCOPIC DYNAMIC SYSTEM

Gyroscopic dynamic system can be introduced to Hamiltonian system.Based on an adjoint symplectic subspace iteration method of Hamiltonian gyroscopic system, an adjoint symplectic subspace iteration method of indefinite Hamiltonian function gy- roscopic system was proposed to solve the eigenvalue problem of indefinite Hamiltonian function gyroscopic system.The character that the eigenvalues of Hamiltonian gyroscopic system are only pure imaginary or zero was used.The eigenvalues that Hamiltonian function is negative can be separated so that the eigenvalue problem of positive definite Hamiltonian function system was presented,and an adjoint symplectic subspace iteration method of positive definite Hamiltonian function system was used to solve the separated eigenvalue problem.Therefore,the eigenvalue problem of indefinite Hamiltonian function gyroscopic system was solved,and two numerical examples were given to demonstrate that the eigensolutions converge exactly.

VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF A ROD WITH COMPLEX BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

This paper deals with the forced longitudinal vibration ora rod carrying a concentrated mass and supported by a spring at one end. The vibration of the rod is excited by the motion of the support point at the other end Since the boundary conditions of the problem are complex and it is necessary to consider the damping, we determine only the steady state periodic solution. First the linear system is analysed, then the material nonlinearity is considered and the approximate analytic solution of nonlinear partial differential equation with nonlinear boundary conditions is obtained by the perturbation method.

Convex Analysis of the Eigenvalues of a 3D Second-Order Symmetric Tensor

Within the framework of nonsmooth convex analysis, the subdifferentials of the maximum eigenvalue and the negative of the minimum eigenvalue of a three-dimensional second-order symmetric tensor A are determined for all possible cases in an explicit and coordinate-free way. In particular, the expressions obtained for the subdifferentials show that: (i) An eigenvalue of A is differentiable if and only if it is simple; (ii) the maximum eigenvalue of A is subdifferentiable when it is double or triple; (iii) the negative of the minimum eigenvalue of A is subdifferentiable when it is double or triple. These results can be applied directly to elasticity and continuum mechanics where three-dimensional second-order symmetric tensor eigenvalues are frequently involved.     

Double Eigenvalue Problems for Hemivariational Inequalities

The aim of the present paper is to study a new type of eigenvalue problem, called a double eigenvalue problem, which arises in hemivariational inequalities related to nonconvex nonsmooth energy functionals. The paper provides existence results as well as some qualitative properties for the solutions to double eigenvalue problems for hemivariational inequalities under the presence of given nonlinear compact operators which are not necessarily of a variational structure. It presents three different approaches to such problems: minimization, minimax methods and (sub) critical point theory on a sphere. Applications illustrate the theory. (Accepted April 2, 1996)     

Dynamic analysis of rotating flexible disk subjected to double slider loading systems

Rotating disk subjected to stationary slider loading system is a very common mechanical structure. This paper investigates the multibody dynamics of a rotating flexible annular thin disk subjected to double slider loading systems. Along the rotating disk radial and circumferential directions, two stationary slider loading systems are distributed. System dynamic model is solved by Galerkin's method, and then natural frequency, dynamic stability and mode shape are determined with a quadratic eigenvalue problem. Effects of the distributing positions and interaction mechanism of the double slider loading systems on natural frequency, dynamic stability and mode shape are discussed and investigated.     

Compound Bifurcations in the Buckling of a Delaminated Composite Strut

An analysis of the buckling and post-buckling of a delaminated composite strut is presented using a simple 4 degree of freedom nonlinear Rayleigh–Ritz formulation. Bifurcation analysis indicates that instability occurs in general at an asymmetric point of bifurcation. Depending on the depth of delamination both thin-film and overall buckling can occur in the post-buckling range, the transition being seen at a point of secondary bifurcation. For certain combinations of parameters this becomes a stellar bifurcation, associated with a double eigenvalue, where there are three possible subsequent routes for the post-buckling. The method used is fast and reliable and can be readily extended to modelling a composite with several layers.

Eigenvalues of the antiplane-shear crack problem for a power-law material

This paper discusses the problem of finding the eigenvalue spectrum in determining the stress and strain fields at the tip of an antiplane-shear crack in a power-law material. It is shown that the perturbation method provides an analytical dependence of the eigenvalue on the material nonlinearity parameter and the eigenvalue of the linear problem. Thus, it is possible to find the entire spectrum of eigenvalues and not only the eigenvalue of the Hutchinson-Rice-Rosengren problem. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 49, No. 1, pp. 173–180, January–February, 2008.     

Time-harmonic BEM for 2-D piezoelectricity applied to eigenvalue problems

We will derive the fundamental generalized displacement solution, using the Radon transform, and present the direct formulation of the time-harmonic boundary element method (BEM) for the two-dimensional general piezoelectric solids. The fundamental solution consists of the static singular and the dynamics regular parts; the former, evaluated analytically, is the fundamental solution for the static problem and the latter is given by a line integral along the unit circle. The static BEM is a component of the time-harmonic BEM, which is formulated following the physical interpretation of Somigliana’s identity in terms of the fundamental generalized line force and dislocation solutions obtained through the Stroh–Lekhnitskii (SL) formalism. The time-harmonic BEM is obtained by adding the boundary integrals for the dynamic regular part which, from the original double integral representation over the boundary element and the unit circle, are reduced to simple line integrals along the unit circle.The BEM will be applied to the determination of the eigen frequencies of piezoelectric resonators. The eigenvalue problem deals with full non-symmetric complex-valued matrices whose components depend non-linearly on the frequency. A comparative study will be made of non-linear eigenvalue solvers: QZ algorithm and the implicitly restarted Arnoldi method (IRAM). The FEM results whose accuracy is well established serve as the basis of the comparison. It is found that the IRAM is faster and has more control over the solution procedure than the QZ algorithm. The use of the time-harmonic fundamental solution provides a clean boundary only formulation of the BEM and, when applied to the eigenvalue problems with IRAM, provides eigen frequencies accurate enough to be used for industrial applications. It supersedes the dual reciprocity BEM and challenges to replace the FEM designed for the eigenvalue problems for piezoelectricity.

Closed form solutions for free vibrations of rectangular Mindlin plates

A new two-eigenfunctions theory, using the amplitude deflection and the generalized curvature as two fundamental eigenfunctions, is proposed for the free vibration solutions of a rectangular Mindlin plate. The three classical eigenvalue differential equations of a Mindlin plate are reformulated to arrive at two new eigenvalue differential equations for the proposed theory. The closed form eigensolutions, which are solved from the two differential equations by means of the method of separation of variables are identical with those via Kirchhoff plate theory for thin plate, and can be employed to predict frequencies for any combinations of simply supported and clamped edge conditions. The free edges can also be dealt with if the other pair of opposite edges are simply supported. Some of the solutions were not available before. The frequency parameters agree closely with the available ones through pb-2 Rayleigh-Ritz method for different aspect ratios and relative thickness of plate.
