Coupled fluid–solid interaction under shock wave loading

This paper considers the treatment of fluid–solid interaction problems under shock wave loading, where the solid experiences large bulk Lagrangian displacements. This work addresses the issues associated with using a level set as a generalized interface for fluid–solid coupling where the fluid–solid interface is embedded in an unstructured fluid grid. We outline the formulation used for the edge‐based unstructured‐grid Euler solver. The identification of the fluid–solid interface on the unstructured fluid mesh uses a super‐sampled ??² projection technique, which in conjunction with a Lagrangian interface position, permits fast identification of the interface and the concomitant imposition of boundary conditions. The use of a narrow‐band approach for the identification of the wetted interface is presented with the details of the construction of interface conditions. A series of two and three‐dimensional shock‐body computations are presented to demonstrate the validity of the current approach on problems with static and dynamic interfaces, including projectile/shock interaction simulations.

The onset of mixed-mode intralaminar cracking in a cross-ply composite laminate

The intralaminar fracture toughness of a unidirectionally reinforced glass/epoxy composite is determined experimentally at several mode I and mode II loading ratios. The crack propagation criterion, expressed as a quadratic form in terms of single-mode stress intensity factors (alternatively, linear in terms of energy release rates), approximates the test results reasonably well. The mixed-mode cracking criterion obtained is used to predict the intralaminar crack on set in a cross-ply glass/epoxy composite under off-axis tensile loading.

Megawatt peak power 8–13 μm CdSe optical parametric generator pumped at 2.8 μm

Infrared pulses, continuously tunable in the 8–13 μm range, and with up to 1 MW peak power, have been achieved using single-stage frequency conversion in a CdSe travelling-wave optical parametric generator, pumped by 100 ps pulses from an actively mode-locked, Q-switched and cavity dumped 2.8 μm Cr,Er:YSGG laser. The external quantum conversion efficiency reached 10%.     

端头带有质量块的悬臂梁在冲击载荷下的两种剪切失效模型

剪切失效是强动载荷作用下结构失效的重要模式。本文给出了计及梁的转动惯量时端头带有质量块的悬臂梁结构受到冲击载荷作用后发生剪切失效的无量纲判据。分析表明，在初始速度间断面上是否发生剪切失效取决于质量块初始动能和质量块尺寸与梁厚之比，而与梁的长度无关。梁的转动惯量对于剪切失效具有不可忽略的影响。

冲击波后温度测量的理论问题

 本文讨论了冲击波后温度弛豫的理论方法。和R. Grover及P.A. Urtiew不同，采用了非傅里叶热传导理论，结果和实验十分符合，而实验结果用傅里叶热传导理论是无法解释的。当时间趋于无穷时，这两种方法的结果又趋于一致，文章中作了物理原因的解释。     

Chargements axisymétriques d'un bicouche transversalement isotropeAxisymmetric loading on a transversely isotropic two-layered medium

An exact three-dimensional analysis is developped for an axisymmetric loading acting on the surface of a semi-infinite medium composed by two transversely isotropic materials. The loading is assumed to be parallel to the elastic symmetry axis of the upper layer. The solutions of a concentrated force and a uniform loading distributed on a circle are obtained by exact integral expressions. The numerical results are performed to show the anisotropic effect with isovalue curves of stress. To cite this article: C. Ruimy, M. Dahan, C. R. Mecanique 330 (2002) 469–473.

Vocal stability in functional dysphonic versus healthy voices at different times of voice loading

Functional (nonorganic) dysphonia is often characterized by vocal instability. The purpose of the prospective study was to examine whether there is a difference in vocal instability of functional dysphonic voices compared with healthy ones, this means whether electroglottographic perturbation values differ (1) between healthy and dysphonic voices and (2) between two subgroups of the dysphponic voices (hpertonic and hypotonic dysphonic voices). Twenty-three patients with hypertonic functional dysphonia, 9 with hypotonic functional dysphonia and 31 healthy nonsmokers, were each examined electroglottographically before (Ex 1), immediately after (Ex 2), and 1 hour after (Ex 3) voice loading. Perturbations of frequency, amplitude, quasi-open-quotient, and contact-index were calculated from the EGG signal. At all three times of examination, hypertonic dysphonic voices showed higher perturbations than healthy voices, and they had higher perturbations than hypotonic dysphonic voices before and 1 hour after voice loading. Hypotonic dysphonic voices showed higher perturbations than healthy voices only 1 hour after voice loading. Voice loading induced different reactions in dysphonic voices: Some voices showed increased perturbations, and others exhibited normal or even decreased perturbation immediately after voice loading. Examination of electroglottographic-derived perturbations immediately after voice loading seems not to be useful. Differentiation of hypertonic and hypotonic dysphonic voices was possible with an estimated sensitivity of 88.9% and a specificity of 87.0% by using the sum of the amplitude-perturbation and the quasi-open-quotient-perturbation measured before voice loading.
