FREE VIBRATION OF ANISOTROPIC RECTANGULAR PLATES BY GENERAL ANALYTICAL METHOD

According to the differential equation for transverse displacement function of anisotropic rectangular thin plates in free vibration, a general analytical solution is established. This general solution, composed of the composite solutions of trigonometric function and hyperbolic function, can satisfy the problem of arbitrary boundary conditions along four edges. The algebraic polynomial with double sine series solutions can also satisfy the problem of boundary conditions at four corners. Consequently, this general solution can be used to solve the vibration problem of anisotropic rectangular plates with arbitrary boundaries accurately. The integral constants can be determined by boundary conditions of four edges and four corners. Each natural frequency and vibration mode can be solved by the determinate of coefficient matrix from the homogeneous linear algebraic equations equal to zero. For example, a composite symmetric angle ply laminated plate with four edges clamped has been calculated and discussed.

Delay Model for a Cycling Transport Through Porous Medium

A solute transport through a porous medium is examined provided that the fluid leaving the porous sample returns back in a continuous way. The porous medium is thus included into a closed hydrodynamic circuit. This cycling process is suggested as an experimental tool to determine porous medium parameters describing transport. In the present paper the mathematical theory of this method is developed. For the advective type of transport with solute retention and degradation in porous medium, the system of transport equations in a closed circuit is transformed to a delay differential equation. The exact analytical solution to this equation is obtained. The solute concentration manifests both the oscillatory and monotonous behaviors depending on system parameters. The number of oscillation splashes is shown to be always finite. The maximum/minimum points are determined as solutions of a polynomial equation whose degree depends on the unknown solution itself. The cyclic methods to determine porous medium parameters as porosity and retention rate are developed.     

大型沉井结构施工力学模型的研究

大型沉井结构是当今应用较广的基础工程，由于沉井结构的规模大，工区土层复杂，存在有许多不确定性因素。使得施工过程的力学模型比较难确定。迄今尚缺乏可供借鉴的理论研究。由于施工的关键是保证沉井的均匀下沉，控制终沉和防止突沉，为此，建立合适的施工力学模型以预测下沉量和开挖量之间的关系就十分必要，考虑到混凝土沉井在土体中下沉时，其本身的变形很小，可以忽略其影响，本文从多自由度刚体运动的角度，建立沉井下沉过程的动态力学模型。为验证所建模型的正确性，本文对一实际工程进行了数值仿真计算。并将计算结果与实测结果进行了对比。结果表明，所建立的力学模型能较好地反映沉井下沉的工程实际，因而可以应用该模型对沉井下沉进行预测分析。从而有助于指导沉井的实际施工。     

Calculating parameters for infiltration equations from soil hydraulic functions

Simple equations for predicting infiltration of water into soil are valuable both for hydrological application and for investigating soil hydraulic properties. Their value is greatly enhanced if they involve parameters that can be related to more basic soil hydraulic properties. In this paper we extend infiltration equations developed previously for positive surface heads to negative heads. The equations are then used to calculate infiltration into a sand and a clay for a range of initial and surface conditions. Results show errors of less than three percent compared with accurate numerical solutions. Analytical approximations to parameters in the equations are developed for a Brooks and Corey power law hydraulic conductivity-water content relation combined with either a Brooks and Corey or a van Genuchten water retention function. These are compared with accurate numerical values for a range of hydraulic parameters encompassing the majority of soil types and a range of initial and boundary conditions. The approximations are excellent for a wide range of soil parameters.An important attribute of the infiltration equations is their use of dimensionless parameters that can be calculated from normalised water retention and hydraulic conductivity functions. These normalised functions involve only parameters that it may be possible to estimate from surrogate data such as soil particle size distribution. Application of the equations for predicting infiltration, or their use in inferring hydraulic properties, then involves only simple scaling parameters.     

Electro-osmotic pore pressures in soil due to an alternating electrical field

Pore pressure development in a soil specimen due to electro-osmosis under alternating current conditions is examined theoretically. Solutions to the governing equation are derived for one-dimensional flow with boundary conditions corresponding to an impervious (conventional no-flow boundary), a partially drained boundary, and a partially drained boundary with an intervening permeable zone between the boundary and the soil. These latter two boundary conditions can arise from details of pore pressure measuring systems at the specimen boundaries during laboratory experiments. An analysis of the solutions indicates that for a perfect no-flow boundary, excess pore pressures measured at an electrode consist of a steady state and rapidly-decaying transient response. The pore pressures exhibit a 45 degree phase shift relative to the applied electric current. The effect of the partially drained boundary is to reduce the peak to peak amplitude of the pore pressure and to increase the phase shift to as much as 90 degrees depending on the compressibility of the pore pressure measuring system. The effect of the impeded and partially drained boundary is to further reduce the amplitude of the pore pressures and to increase the phase shift to as much as 180 degrees depending on the relative permeability of the impeded boundary.     

孤立系内热传导过程(火积)耗散的解析解

(火积)耗散与熵增均可以作为传热不可逆性的度量, 当前(火积)理论的反对者认为(火积)是不必要的. 为说明(火积)的必要性, 从有效性的角度进行了论证, 即在描述传热过程不可逆性的变化上, (火积)的严格解析解存在, 而熵的严格解析解难以得到. 本文构建了孤立系内的一维及多维热传导模型, 求解了温度及其梯度的级数型解析解, 将其代入(火积)耗散的求解式, 得到其最初的形式为一多重级数的多重积分, 交换积分与级数计算顺序, 并利用特征函数的正交性, 将(火积)耗散求解式中的积分运算求出, 并使级数的维数降低, 最终将其表示为一稳态项与一瞬态项加和的形式, 其极限与文献中的结果一致. 通过对孤立系内(火积)耗散解析解的求解可以得出: 由于热传导过程熵与(火积)的解析解求解难度不同, 在描述传热过程不可逆性变化上, (火积)更加有效; 对于孤立系内不同维数的热传导问题, 只要温度场解析解存在, (火积)耗散解析解均可以应用特征函数正交性求解得到.

Analytical Solution for the Effect of Viscous Dissipation on Mixed Convection in Saturated Porous Media

A new analytical solution is introduced for the effect of viscous dissipation on mixed convection flow and heat transfer about an isothermal vertical wall embedded in Darcy and non-Darcy porous media with uniform free stream velocity. The effect of viscous dissipation on mixed convection in both regimes has been analyzed for both the aiding and opposing flows using Gebhart number, Ge _x =gx/c _p. The governing parameters are Re, Ra, Pe and Ge _x . The case of Re=0 corresponds to Darcy mixed convection region and Re/Pe is identified as the mixed convection governing parameter, Ra=0 leading to pure forced convection. A good agreement was found between the numerical and analytical solutions. It was found from the Nusselt number results that viscous dissipation lowers the heat transfer rate in both Darcy and Forchheimer flow regimes for aiding as well as opposing flows.
