Dynamical behaviors of nonlinear viscoelastic thick plates with damage

Based on the deformation hypothesis of Timoshenko's plates and the Boltzmann's superposition principles for linear viscoelastic materials, the nonlinear equations governing the dynamical behavior of Timoshenko's viscoelastic thick plates with damage are presented. The Galerkin method is applied to simplify the set of equations. The numerical methods in nonlinear dynamics are used to solve the simplified systems. It could be seen that there are plenty of dynamical properties for dynamical systems formed by this kind of viscoelastic thick plate with damage under a transverse harmonic load. The influences of load, geometry and material parameters on the dynamical behavior of the nonlinear system are investigated in detail. At the same time, the effect of damage on the dynamical behavior of plate is also discussed.     

Melt shear rheology of carbon nanofiber/polystyrene composites

The rheological behavior and morphology of carbon nanofiber/polystyrene (CNF/PS) composites in their melt phase have been characterized both through experimental measurements and modeling. Composites prepared in the two different processes of solvent casting and melt blending are contrasted; melt-blended and solvent-cast composites were each prepared with CNF loadings of 2, 5, and 10 wt%. A morphological study revealed that the melt blending process results in composites with shorter CNFs than in the solvent-cast composites, due to damage caused by the higher stresses the CNFs encounter in melt blending, and that both processes retain the diameter of the as-received CNFs. The addition of carbon nanofiber to the polystyrene through either melt blending or solvent casting increases the linear viscoelastic moduli, G′ and G″, and steady-state viscosity, η, in the melt phase monotonically with CNF concentration, more so in solvent cast composites with their longer CNFs. The melt phase of solvent-cast composites with higher CNF concentrations exhibit a plateau of the elastic modulus, G′, at low frequencies, an apparent yield stress, and large first normal stress difference, N ₁, at low strain rates, which can be attributed to contact-based network nanostructure formed by the long CNFs. A nanostructurally-based model for CNF/PS composites in their melt phase is presented which considers the composite system as rigid rods in a viscoelastic fluid matrix. Except for two coupling parameters, all material constants in the model for the composite systems are deduced from morphological and shear flow measurements of its separate nanofiber and polymer melt constituents of the composite. These two coupling parameters are polymer–fiber interaction parameter, σ, and interfiber interaction parameter, C _I. Through comparison with our experimental measurements of the composite systems, we deduce that σ is effectively 1 (corresponding to no polymer–fiber interaction) for all CNF/PS nanocomposites studied. The dependence of CNF orientation on strain rate which we observe in our experiments is captured in the model by considering the interfiber interaction parameter, C _I, as a function of strain rate. Applied to shear flows, the model predicts the melt-phase, steady-state viscosities, and normal stress differences of the CNF/PS composites as functions of shear rate, polymer matrix properties, fiber length, and mass concentration consistent with our experimental measurements.     

Series solutions of unsteady MHD flows above a rotating disk

The series solutions of unsteady flows of a viscous incompressible electrically conducting fluid caused by an impulsively rotating infinite disk are given by means of an analytic technique, namely the homotopy analysis method. Using a set of new similarity transformations, we transfer the Navier–Stokes equations into a pair of nonlinear partial differential equations. The convergent series solutions are obtained, which are uniformly valid for all dimensionless time 0 ≤ τ < ∞ in the whole spatial region 0 ≤ η < ∞. To the best of our knowledge, such kind of series solutions have never been reported. The effect of magnetic number on the velocity is investigated.     

Interaction between an edge dislocation and a circular inclusion with an inhomogeneously imperfect interface

This research presents an analytical study of the interaction problem of an edge dislocation with a circular inclusion with a circumferentially inhomogeneously imperfect interface. The interface, which is modeled as a spring (interphase) layer with vanishing thickness, is characterized by that in which there is a displacement jump across the interface in the same direction as the corresponding tractions, and the same degree of imperfection is realized in both the normal and tangential directions. Furthermore, the interface parameter is nonuniform along the interface. In order to arrive at an elementary form solution, we introduce a conformal mapping function. Then the stress field as well as the Peach–Koehler force acting on the edge dislocation can be obtained from the derived complex potentials. Calculations demonstrate that the nonuniform interface parameter has a significant influence on the stress field.     

气相爆轰波反应区结构的平面激光诱导荧光测量

基于平面激光诱导荧光(PLIF)技术对2H2 O2 10Ar的预混气体爆轰波反应区结构进行实验研究.采用高浓度的氩稀释有利于减小爆轰化学反应自发辐射光对OH荧光的影响.合理设置PLIF系统、爆轰波和ICCD之间的同步控制触发延时,得到爆轰波阵面附近的OH荧光分布图像.结果表明:诱导激波后反应阵面不是平面且不稳定.荧光图像上能清晰地看到类似拱顶石的结构,它位于两马赫杆之间,以入射激波、剪切层和反应阵面为边界.无论是在马赫杆后还是在入射激波后,OH浓度分布在诱导区末端急剧增加至最大值.随着离开反应阵面的距离增加,OH浓度快速减小.由于爆轰模式和激光片光方向的影响,从PLIF图像上测得的横波间距值较离散,均小于胞格宽度.

A Normal Force on the Free Surface of a Coated Material

The three-dimensional theoretical solution of a concentrated normal force acting on the free surface of a coated material has been deduced by applying the reflection method. It is found that all stress functions defined in the local coordinate systems with their origins placed at each mirror point can be deduced from the fundamental solution of a concentrated normal force acting on the free surface of a semi-infinite homogeneous medium. The structure of the elastic solution has been illustrated by numerical analysis. It is found that only the stress functions corresponding to the first few mirror points are influential. It is also found that the effect of material combination on the stress field shall be described by three parameters, the two Dundurs' parameters and one additional parameter.
