POST-BUCKLING AND IMPERFECTION SENSITIVITY OF A COLUMN WITH AN EQUILATERAL TRIANGULAR CROSS-SECTION IN THE PLASTIC RANGE

The asymmetric initial post-buckling corresponding to the lowest bifurcation load andthe imperfection sensitivity are analysed in detail for a compressed simply supported column with anequilateral triangular cross-section in the plastic range.The effect of elastic unloading is taken into ac-count in the analysis.The asymptotic relations,including high order terms,among the load,the am-plitude of imperfection and the amplitude of the bifurcation mode are realized.The results show thatthe maximum supported load is very sensitive to imperfection.

Capillary end effect in a water saturated porous layer

The uni-directional propagation of oil injected into water flowing through a water wetted porous slab of a finite length is investigated. The inlet and outlet edges of the slab are impermeable to the oil flux. Hence, the oil accumulates within the slab, thereby leading to a saturation build-up-capillary end effect. This phenomenon is studied analytically on the basis of a nonlinear equation describing oil-water transport in porous media. A dimensionless criterion is derived, which governs the appearance and relative strength of the capillary end effect. For weak oil-water interfacial tension (large capillary number) and long porous slabs the above effect is not observed and the temporal evolution of the oil saturation is described by the Buckley-Leverett solution. Short porous slabs are found to be almost entirely subjected to the capillary end effect. Intermediate situations are identified and quantitatively described, in which the downstream part of the slab may be divided into two zones: one-characterized by the capillary end effect, and the other being a Buckley-Leverett zone.It is shown, that the oil flux injected into the slab is limited by a maximum value which depends upon the location of the injection point. The partition of the inlet flux between the upstream and downstream directions is investigated. In the upstream side of the porous slab the oil moves under the action of free imbibition only. It is found that the upstream flux is limited by the value, which is independent of the slab's length and of the location of the injection point.     

Beitrag zur Prüfung metallischer Werkstoffe im Torsionsversuch

Zusammenfassung Der Torsionsversuch eignet sich zur Untersuchung des plastischen Verhaltens von Metallen bei erhöhten Temperaturen, wenn die Fließspannung stark von der Umformgeschwindigkeit abhängt. Aus der gemessenen Drehmoment-Drehwinkel-Kurve wird die Fließkurvek _f () berechnet. Hierfür wird ein Fließkriterium benötigt, dessen Unsicherheit im allgemeinen größer ist als alle Meßfehler. Diese Unsicherheit geht aber nicht in die berechnete Dehngeschwindigkeitsempfindlichkeit ein, die somit als Hauptergebnis des Versuches anzusehen ist.Um die Bedingungen technischer Warmumformung zu simulieren, wird die Verwendung extrem kurzer Proben (flacher Scheiben) empfohlen, womit sehr hohe Umformgeschwindigkeiten erreicht werden können. Für die Auswertung derartiger Versuche ist die wirksame Länge der kurzen Proben — experimentell oder semiempirisch — zu bestimmen und die Kerbwirkung zu berücksichtigen. Im Gegensatz zur herkömmlichen Vorgehensweise wird empfohlen, die örtliche Spannung und Verzerrung nicht für die Mantelfläche der Probe zu berechnen, sondern für einen kritischen Radialabstand im Innern der Probe, für den die Schiebung von der Kerbwirkung unabhängig ist, so daß sich die zuverlässigsten Werte ergeben.

Summary The torsion test is often used for studying the plastic deformation of metals at elevated temperatures when stress depends strongly on the strain rate. From the measured torque-twisting angle curve, the stress-strain curvek _f () has to be calculated. For this purpose a yield criterion has to be used the uncertaintly of which normally exceeds all experimental errors. This uncertaintly, however, does not propagate into the calculated strain rate sensitivity which therefore may be considered as the main result of the torsion test.For simulating the conditions of technical hot forming processes, the use of extremely short test pieces (flat discs) by which very high strain rates can be obtained is recommended. For evaluating the test data the efficient lenght of short specimens has to be determined. In opposition to the conventional procedure of test evaluation, it is recommended not to calculate stress and strain for the surface of the specimen but for a critical radius for which strain is independent of the notch effect so that the most reliable values are obtained.

Stability of conical shells made of composites with one plane of elastic symmetry

The paper proposes a technique for stability analysis of anisotropic laminated thin shells of revolution made of a composite with one plane of symmetry. The technique is used for numerical analysis of truncated cones made of binder-impregnated filaments continuously wound along geodesic lines. It is shown that the effect of low symmetry on the critical loads depends not only on the number of laminas, but also on the cone angle __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 6, pp. 93–101, June 2007.

Evolution of a fast flame behind an induction zone

It has been shown that pressure waves can have a large effect on the burning rate of flames. In this paper, the evolution of convection-driven fast flame, which is acoustically linked to a shock wave via an induction zone, is examined in detail. It is found that there is positive feedback mechanism and the asymptotic model breaks down as blow up occurs. Comparison is made between the case of a piston driving a shock wave into a combustible atmosphere with these studies of a shock wave passing through an existing premixed flame.

Numerical plane stress elastic–perfectly plastic crack analysis under Tresca yield condition with comparison to Dugdale plastic strip model

A number of plane stress numerical analyses of the mode I elastoplastic fracture mechanics problem have been performed in the past using the Huber–Mises yield criterion. This study employs instead the Tresca yield condition using an incremental theory of plasticity for a stationary crack. A commercial finite element program is used to solve the opening mode of fracture problem (mode I) for a square plate containing a central crack under generalized plane stress loading conditions. A biaxial uniform tensile traction is applied to the edges of a thin plate composed of a linear elastic non-work hardening material under small strain assumptions. The finite element results are compared with the analytical predictions of the Dugdale plastic strip model for a crack in an infinite plate subject to a biaxial uniform load at infinity.     

Limiting state of an elastoplastic orthotropic plate with a periodic system of collinear cracks

A modified Dugdale model is used to study the fracture of an orthotropic elastoplastic plate with a periodic system of rectilinear cracks. The material of the plate obeys a general yield criterion. The general form of solution is obtained in terms of Kolosov-Muskhelishvili potentials. The size of the plastic zone is expressed in terms of the external load and geometrical parameters. The equations for the determination of the stresses in the plastic zone and the crack opening displacement are derived. The effect of anisotropy on the formation of the plastic zones at the crack tip is examined __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 5, pp. 80–88, May 2007.     

Mixed-mode I/II fields around a crack with a cohesive zone ahead of the crack tip

Considering a cohesive zone ahead of the crack tip, the linear elastic crack problem under Mode I, Mode II or mixed-mode conditions is formulated in an elliptic coordinate system, so that the cohesive surfaces are conveniently represented by straight line segments. It is shown that the displacement and stress fields around the crack tip and the cohesive zone, expressed in terms of elliptic coordinates, have a simple mathematical form, which does not contain a stress singularity at the crack tip due to the existence of the cohesive zone.
