Thermoelastic wave propagation in inhomogeneous media

Summary A novel approach to the modeling of thermoelastic wave propagation is presented, based on the thermodynamics of discrete systems. The first novelty includes the representation of integral balance laws for thermoelasticity in terms of contact quantities that describe the nonequilibrium state of elements. The next new aspect is a modification of the recently proposed wave-propagation algorithm, which is used as a tool for determining the contact quantities in a finite-volume scheme for the numerical simulation of two-dimensional thermoelastic wave propagation in inhomogeneous media. Such a modification is needed to provide the satisfaction of the thermodynamic consistency conditions between adjacent discrete elements. Results of computations for certain test problems show the efficiency and physical consistency of the algorithm. Received 11 November 1999; accepted for publication 2 May 2000     

Contact Transformation Group Classification of Nonlinear Wave Equations

Interest in nonlinear wave equations has been stimulated bynumerous physical applications, such as telecommunication (e.g.nonlinear telegrapher equation), gasdynamics, anisotropic plasticity andnonlinear elasticity, etc. Mathematical models of these phenomena canoften be reduced to particular types of the equation u _tt = f(x, u _x ) u _xx + g(x, u _x ). In this paper, the problem ofclassification of the latter equation with respect to admitted contacttransformation groups is reduced to the investigation of pointtransformation groups of the equivalent system of first-orderquasi-linear equations v _t =a(x, v)w _x , w _t = b(x,v)v _x .     

Solitary Waves in Nonlinear Beam Equations: Stability,Fission and Fusion

We continue work by the second author and co-workers onsolitary wave solutions of nonlinear beam equations and their stabilityand interaction properties. The equations are partial differentialequations that are fourth-order in space and second-order in time.First, we highlight similarities between the intricate structure ofsolitary wave solutions for two different nonlinearities; apiecewise-linear term versus an exponential approximation to thisnonlinearity which was shown in earlier work to possess remarkablystable solitary waves. Second, we compare two different numericalmethods for solving the time dependent problem. One uses a fixed griddiscretization and the other a moving mesh method. We use these methodsto shed light on the nonlinear dynamics of the solitary waves. Earlywork has reported how even quite complex solitary waves appear stable,and that stable waves appear to interact like solitons. Here we show twofurther effects. The first effect is that large complex waves can, as aresult of roundoff error, spontaneously decompose into two simplerwaves, a process we call fission. The second is the fusion of twostable waves into another plus a small amount of radiation.     

Turbulence microscale variation due to interaction with shock wave

A speckle photographic technique is used for visualizing the planar distribution of the refractive deflection angles of light transmitted through a compressible turbulent flow. Double exposure speckle photography is applied for the statistical analysis of such flows. Quantitative visualization of the planar distribution of the refractive deflection angles of the light transmitted through the compressible turbulent flow is performed. Turbulent structures are visible in the patterns of the deflection angles isolines. The 2-D correlation functions of these deflection angles are constructed and analyzed. A mathematical procedure for solving Erbeck-Merzkirch integral transformation is described and the 3-D density correlation functions are evaluated using 2-D correlation functions of deflection angles of the light passed through the turbulence.

On appearance of “cold” layer in explosive consolidation of powders

Abstract. Numerical modeling of explosive consolidation of powders under two-dimensional conditions has been performed. Various regimes of flow depending on detonation velocity have been considered. The appearance of “cold” layer during explosive consolidation of powders has been studied by calculations. Received 12 July 1999 / Accepted 27 April 2000     

Experimental study on crack curving propagation in bending beams under impulsive load

Dynamic fracture behaviour of crack curving in bent beams has been investigated. In order to understand the propagation mechanism of such cracks under impact, an experimental method is used that combines dynamic photoelasticity with dynamic caustics to study the interaction of the flexural waves and the crack. From the state change of the transient stresses in polymer specimen, the curving fracture in the impulsively loaded beams is analyzed. The dynamic responses of crack tips are evaluated by the stress intensity factors for the cracks running in varying curvature paths under bending stress wave.

含孔von Karman板中非线性波散射与边值问题

基于ｖｏｎ Ｋａｒｍａｎ板大挠度弯曲理论,利用小参数摄动法,分析研究了含孔ｖｏｎＫａｒｍａｎ板的非线性波散射与动应力集中问题,其中一类可看成是薄板弯曲波动问题的控制方程。当有单频波入射时,由于弯曲应力与膜应力状态的非线性耦合,孔洞会产生高次谐波散射现象。建立了求解本问题的边界积分方程法,利用积分方程法交替求求这两类问题,最终可获得问题的近似分析解。
