On the application of boundary layer method in the large deflection plastic buckling of a cylindrical shell

Using a cylindrical shell under axial loading as an example, we discuss the possibility of applying the membrane theory together with the boundary layer correction to analyze the large deflection plastic buckling problem. In the cases of fixed ends and simply-supported ends, the conditions to be satisfied for using the boundary layer method (also called the composite-expansion method) are given and discussed.     

Mathematical modeling of two problems of wave dynamics in heterogeneous media

Two problems of heterogeneous media mechanics are investigated in the paper. The first one, concerned with the shock wave/dust layer interaction, is solved within the framework of the equilibrium model of heterogeneous media mechanics. The second problem deals with the simulation of a Riemann problem for a stratified layer of solid particles.This paper is based on work that was presented at the 20th International Colloquium on the Dynamics of Explosions and Reactive Systems, Montreal, Canada, July 31–August 5, 2005     

Minimization of the Wing Airfoil Drag Coefficient Using the Optimal Control Method

The problem of designing a wing airfoil starting from the surface velocity (or pressure) distribution, given in multi-parameter form, is considered. In the diffuser region, the velocity decrease law is determined from the conditions of minimum drag and separationless flow for a given Reynolds number. The case of boundary layer suction for the purpose of improving the aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil is studied. A solution is obtained using optimal control theory.     

Regime diagram of the development of long-wave near-wall disturbances in a hypersonic boundary layer

A regime diagram of the development of slow near-wall disturbances induced by an unsteady self-induced pressure perturbation in a hypersonic boundary layer is constructed for a disturbance wavelength greater than the boundary layer thickness. It is shown that the main factors shaping the perturbed flow are the gas enthalpy near the body surface, the intensity of the viscous-inviscid interaction, and the nature (sub- or supersonic) of the main part of the boundary layer. Nonlinear boundary-value problems are formulated for regimes in which the near-wall boundary layer region plays a decisive role. Numerical and analytical solutions are obtained in the linear approximation. It is shown that intensification of the viscous-inviscid interaction or an increase in the role of the supersonic main region of the boundary layer impart generally supersonic properties to the main part of the boundary layer, i.e. the upstream propagation of the disturbances is damped and the disturbance growth downstream becomes more intense. Damping of the viscous-inviscid interaction and an increase in the role of the subsonic main part of the boundary layer have the opposite effect. Surface cooling increases the effect of the main part of the boundary layer on the formation of pressure disturbances and surface heating leads to an increase in the effect of the near-wall boundary layer region. It is also shown that for the regimes considered disturbances propagate in a direction opposite to that of the free stream from the turbulent flow region located downstream of the local disturbance development region.Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Academii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6, 2004, pp. 59–71.

Effect of Boundary-Layer Thickness on the Structure of a Near-Wall Flow with a Two-Dimensional Obstacle

Results of physical and numerical experiments on investigating the effect of the depth of immersion of a two-dimensional obstacle with a square cross section into a developed turbulent boundary layer on the length of the separated flow region are presented. The numerical simulation is based on solving averaged Navier–Stokes equations with the use of the k– model of turbulence. The near-wall flow is visualized in the experiments, and the fields of mean and fluctuating velocities are measured. Flow regions where the results of numerical simulation agree with experimental data are determined. It is shown that the length of the recirculation flow region in the near wake increases with decreasing depth of immersion of the two-dimensional obstacle into the turbulent boundary layer.     

Global structural behaviour of thin and moderately thick monoclinic spherical shells using a mixed shear deformation model

Summary The static and dynamic responses of anisotropic spherical shells under a uniformly distributed transverse load are investigated. Analytical solutions using the mixed variational formulation are presented for spherical shells subjected to various boundary conditions. Numerical results of a refined mixed first-order shear deformation theory for natural frequencies, critical buckling, center deflections and stresses are compared with those obtained using the classical shell theory. A variety of simply-supported and clamped boundary conditions are considered and comparisons with the existing literature are made. The sample numerical results presented herein for global structural behaviour of monoclinic spherical shells should serve as references for future comparisons.

点支式中空玻璃承载性能的有限元分析

中空玻璃承受均布横向荷载时,外、内片与密封气体之间产生复杂的交互作用,现行规范(程)基本按抗弯刚度比例在外、内片玻璃之间分配荷载。本文使用有限元法,分析点支式中空玻璃在承受均布横向荷载时的结构特性,利用迭代计算精确地求解外荷载在外、内片间的分配比例,计算与实验测值吻合得较好。本文指出,宽厚比、中空层厚度等因素对于荷载分配比例均有较大影响,在某些情况下,直接承受荷载的外片可能承受绝大部分的荷载,规范(程)的设计方法仍值得商榷。同时,本文建议在设计中考虑中空层温度变化对承载性能的影响。     

Nonlinear Stability of a One-Dimensional Boussinesq Equation

We study nonlinear orbital stability and instability of the set of ground state solitary wave solutions of a one-dimensional Boussinesq equation or one-dimensional Benney–Luke equation. It is shown that a solitary wave (traveling wave with finite energy) may be orbitally stable or unstable depending on the range of the wave's speed of propagation.
