Action of a Periodic Load on an Elastic Floating Plate

The problem of the behavior of an elastic floating plate in the form of a strip under the action of a periodic surface load is solved using the Wiener-Hopf technique. The shortwave approximation is found in explicit form. The effect of the frequency and nature of the acting load on the vibration amplitudes of the fluid and the plate is investigated numerically. It is found that for certain loads no waves propagate in the fluid and the vibrations of the plate are localized in the neighborhood of the acting load. Conditions under which local vibration can be realized are found.__________Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Academii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, 2005, pp. 132–146.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Tkacheva.     

Impact of singularity of Navier-Stokes equation upon atmospheric motion equations

Some conclusions about the smooth function classes stability for the basic system of equations of atmospheric motion and instability for Navier-Stokes equation are summarized. On the basis of this, by taking the basic system of equations of atmospheric motion via Boussinesq approximation as example to explain in detail that the instability about some simplified models of the basic system of equations for atmospheric motion is caused by the instability of Navier-Stokes equation, thereby, a principle to guarantee the stability of simplified equation is drawn in simplifying the basic system of equations.

Recoverable deformation and morphology after uniaxial elongation of a polystyrene/linear low density polyethylene blend

The transient recoverable deformation ratio after melt elongation at various elongational rates and maximum elongations was investigated for pure polystyrene and for a 85 wt.% polystyrene/15 wt.% linear low density polyethylene (PS/LLDPE 85:15) blend at a temperature of 170 ^oC. The ratio p of the zero shear rate viscosity of LLDPE to that of PS is p = 0.059 ≈ 1:17. Retraction of the elongated LLDPE droplets back to spheres and end-pinching is observed during recovery. A simple additive rule is applied in order to extract the contribution of the recovery of the elongated droplets from the total recovery of the blend. In that way, the recoverable portion of the PS/LLDPE blend induced by the interfacial tension is determined and compared with the results of a theory based on an effective medium approximation. The effective medium approximation reproduces well the time scale of the experimental data. In addition, the trends that the recoverable deformation increases with elongational rate and maximum elongation are captured by the theoretical approach.     

Flow and heat transfer in a moving fluid over a moving flat surface

In this paper, a numerical analysis of the momentum and heat transfer of an incompressible fluid past a parallel moving sheet based on composite reference velocity U is carried out. A single set of equations has been formulated for both momentum and thermal boundary layer problems containing the following parameters: r the ratio of the free stream velocity to the composite reference velocity, σ (Prandtl number) the ratio of the momentum diffusivity of the fluid to its thermal diffusivity, and E _c (E _ck ) (Eckert number). The present study has been carried out in the domain 0 ≤ r ≤ 1. It is found that the direction of the wall shear changes in such an interval and an increase of the parameter r yields an increase in temperature.

双重点最小二乘配点无网格法

配点类无网格法需要计算近似函数的二阶导数,因而在移动最小二乘(MLS)近似中至少要采用二次基函数。本文利用Voronoi图对双重点移动最小二乘近似法进行了改进,建立了基于Voronoi图的双重点移动最小二乘近似(VDG),并利用加权最小二乘法离散微分方程,导出了双重点最小二乘配点无网格法(MD GLS)。该方法将求解域用节点离散,并以节点为生成点建立Voronoi图,取Voronoi多边形的顶点为辅助点。近似函数及其二阶导数的计算过程可分解为两个步骤:首先用场函数节点值拟合辅助点处近似函数的一阶导数,再以辅助点处近似函数的一阶导数值拟合节点处近似函数的二阶导数。由于在每一步中只需计算MLS形函数及其一阶导数,这种近似方法需要较少的影响点和较小的影响域。同时借助于Voronoi结构的优良几何性质,可以快速地搜索影响点。研究表明,与基于MLS的加权最小二乘无网格法(MWLS)相比,这种方法可以显著提高计算效率,并且在精度和收敛性方面也有所改善。     

Thermoconductivity and thermoelasticity of thin isotropic shells heated by a moving heat pulse

The paper presents a solution to the problem of thermal conduction and thermoelasticity for a thin shallow spherical shell heated by a concentrated or local impulsive heat source moving over the shell surface. It is assumed that temperature is linearly distributed across the shell thickness and that the shell, on its sides, exchanges heat with the environment in accordance with Newton’s law of cooling. The Fourier and Laplace transforms are used to find an analytic solution. The dependence of the temperature field and stress/strain components on the type of heating and the form of heat source is studied __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 11, pp. 85–92, November 2006.
