Scattering of flexural wave in a thin plate with multiple circular holes by using the multipole Trefftz method

The scattering of flexural wave by multiple circular holes in an infinite thin plate is analytically solved by using the multipole Trefftz method. The dynamic moment concentration factor (DMCF) along the edge of circular holes is determined. Based on the addition theorem, the solution of the field represented by multiple coordinate systems centered at each circle can be transformed into one coordinate system centered at one circle, where the boundary conditions are given. In this way, a coupled infinite system of simultaneous linear algebraic equations is derived as an analytical model for the scattering of flexural wave by multiple holes in an infinite plate subject to the incident flexural wave. The formulation is general and is easily applicable to dealing with the problem containing multiple circular holes. Although the number of hole is not limited in our proposed method, the numerical results of an infinite plate with three circular holes are presented in the truncated finite system. The effects of both incident wave number and the central distance among circular holes on the DMCF are investigated. Numerical results show that the DMCF of three holes is larger than that of one, when the space among holes is small and meanwhile the specified direction of incident wave is subjected to the plate.     

Elastoplastic state of flexible cylindrical shells with two circular holes

The elastoplastic state of thin cylindrical shells with two equal circular holes is analyzed with allowance made for finite deflections. The shells are made of an isotropic homogeneous material. The load is internal pressure of given intensity. The distribution of stresses along the hole boundary and in the stress concentration zone (when holes are closely spaced) is analyzed by solving doubly nonlinear boundary-value problems. The results obtained are compared with the solutions that allow either for physical nonlinearity (plastic strains) or geometrical nonlinearity (finite deflections) and with the numerical solution of the linearly elastic problem. The stresses near the holes are analyzed for different distances between the holes and nonlinear factors.Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 40, No. 10, pp. 107–112, October 2004.     

Void growth and interaction experiments: Implications to the optimal straining rate in superplastic forming

In this work, a set of parametric experiments was conducted on a superplastic material (eutectic tin–lead alloy) with one or more pre-drilled holes in each specimen. The small-sized holes were for simulating microvoids that occur and grow during superplastic forming. All holes were axially aligned with the tensile axis. The results revealed an increase in ductility with the number of holes up to 10 holes and a decrease thereafter. The ductility enhancement was explained based on the m-curve as due to a rise in the strain rate sensitivity locally around the holes. The decrease was explained due to strong void interaction that resulted in shear failure. This was further verified by a separate set of experiments of only two interacting voids with various interspacing. Finally, the void size versus applied strain was fully characterized and the results supported the ductility observations.     

Influences of surface on the interaction between holes or edge

The effects of surface energy on the interaction between holes or edge are investigated. Three typical problems are discussed: (1) an infinite plate containing two holes of unequal size subjected to an all-round tension, (2) a circle disc containing an eccentric hole subjected to uniform pressure on either external or internal surface, (3) a semi-infinite plate containing an unstressed circular hole subjected to a uniform tension parallel to its straight edge. The problems are solved by series expansion in bipolar coordinates. The results show that the surface energy significantly affects the stress concentrations around the holes as the size of the holes shrinks to nanometers. Meanwhile, the interaction between the holes or edge influences the stress distribution around the holes or edge, which becomes evident as the holes or edge close to each other and is affected by the surface effect significantly.     

Stress distribution in physically and geometrically nonlinear thin cylindrical shells with two holes

The elastoplastic state of thin cylindrical shells weakened by two circular holes is analyzed. The centers of the holes are on the directrix of the shell. The shells are made of an isotropic homogeneous material and subjected to internal pressure of given intensity. The distribution of stresses along the hole boundaries and over the zone where they concentrate (when the distance between the holes is small) is analyzed using approximate and numerical methods to solve doubly nonlinear boundary-value problems. The data obtained are compared with the solutions of the physically nonlinear (plastic strains taken into account) and geometrically nonlinear (finite deflections taken into account) problems and with the numerical solution of the linearly elastic problem. The stress-strain state near the two holes is analyzed depending on the distance between them and the nonlinearities accounted for __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 11, pp. 88–95, November 2005.     

Analysis of the stress state of a flattened conical shell of moderate thickness with a structurally weakening hole

Conclusions We determined the relationship between the nature of the stress distribution on the hole surface in a flexible plate as a function of thickness. We observed a great difference between the stress densities in flattened, thin and moderate-thickness conical shells and the stress concentrations near holes in thin cylindrical shells and thin, almost cylindrical, conical shells. The stress distribution near the hole in flattened conical shells of moderate thickness is similar to the stress distribution near the holes in flexible, thick plates. During loading of conical shells by an axial force, the lowest stress concentration factor near the holes is obtained when the axis of the hole is parallel to the shell axis. As the thickness of the shell is increased, the stress concentration factor near the holes increases.Kiev University. Ukrainian Institute of Water Management Engineers, Rovno.

Asymptotic analysis of stresses in an isotropic linear elastic plane or half-plane weakened by a finite number of holes

The problem of an isotropic linear elastic plane or half-plane weakened by a finite number of small holes is considered. The analysis is based on the complex potential method of Muskhelishvili as well as on the theory of compound asymptotic expansions by Maz’ya. An asymptotic expansion of the solution in terms of the relative hole radii is constructed. This expansion is asymptotically valid in the whole domain, i.e. both in the vicinity of the holes and in the far-field. The approach leads to closed-form approximations of the field variables and does not require any numerical approximation. Several examples of the interaction between holes or holes and an edge are presented.     

Stress state of a hollow round cylinder with side holes under different pressure and temperature impact

The stress–strain state of a hollow cylinder (pipe) with lateral holes is considered. The pipe is under the action of internal and external hydrostatic pressures P₁ and P₂ and also a temperature effect. Such a pipe is used in oil–gas recovery, rocket engineering, chemical machinery industry and etc. There is no detailed analytic solution of this problem in literature to date. The number of holes through which a liquid or gas can flow into the pipe interior (and vice versa) depends on the loads, the size of the cross-section and the material of the pipe. The proper selection of the arrangement of holes and their diameters is determined from an analytic solution. In addition, the maximum boundary loads (of pressures) at which the pipe cracks is also found.     

On the Green's Functions and Boundary Integral Formulation of Elastic Planes with Cutouts

ABSTRACT

The problem of an infinite elastic plane that contains a hole of arbitrary shape and is subjected to a concentrated unit load is considered. The Green's function (influence function) for the problem is formulated by means of two complex potential functions. This is accomplished by mapping the region that is exterior to the hole onto a unit circle. A class of closed contour hole shapes is analyzed. Green's functions for an elliptical hole and a class of triangular holes are determined. Green's functions for a class of rectangular holes are also discussed. In order to determine stress and displacement fields for the finite plane problem, Green's function is employed and an indirect boundary integral equation is formulated, with the integrand of the integral equation incorporating the effect of the hole. The contour of the hole is no longer considered a part of the boundary and only the contour of the region that is exterior to the hole is subdivided into boundary elements. Examples for elliptical and triangular holes are solved.     

Calculation of shells with large rectangular holes in the presence of finite bending deflections

The stability of shells perforated by large holes has been investigated previously [1–6]. The results published in the cited papers lead to the conclusion that the problem of the stability of shells with large holes is in a stage of vigorous development. The application of standard numerical methods in these problems is impeded by the fact that they are incapable of refining the stress concentration and local stability in the vicinity of corners of the holes and give an approximate smoothed distribution pattern of the forces and torques. Methods of approximation of the solutions in terms of regular functions [2] are complicated by the poor convergence of the corresponding series near the edges of a hole.Structural Engineering Institute, St. Petersburg.

Measurement of the temperature field downstream of simulated leading-edge film-cooling holes

Experiments to measure the temperature field downstream of simulated leading-edge-region film-cooling holes were performed in an 11 m/s wind tunnel flow. Heated air was passed to a hollow 140 mm diameter cylinder in which three 10.5 mm diameter, spanwise-inclined, film-cooling holes had been machined. A fine nylon mesh, coated with encapsulated thermochromic liquid crystals, was used to measure temperature contours downstream of the holes by moving the mesh relative to the holes and adjusting the power to the air heater. The measurements indicate the extent of the lateral spreading of the coolant gas and show the influence of hole location and coolant mass flow rate on film trajectory and spreading.

Stress analysis of finite composite laminate with multiple loaded holes

Based on the classical laminated plate theory, a finite composite plate weakened by multiple elliptical holes is treated as an anisotropic multiple connected plate. Using the complex potential method in the plane theory of elasticity of an anisotropic body, an analytical study concerned with the stress distributions around multiple loaded holes in finite composite laminated plates subjected to arbitrary loads was performed. The analysis makes use of the Faber series expansion, conformal mapping and the least squares boundary collocation techniques. The effects of plate and hole sizes, layups, the relative distance between holes, the total number of holes and their locations on the stress distribution are studied in detail. Some conclusions are drawn.     

Nonlinear problem of a spherical suspension

We consider in the nonlinear formulation the steady-state motion of an incompressible viscous fluid between two concentric spheres, into the gap between which fluid enters through one hole and leaves through a second. The holes are replaced by a source and sink, after which the boundary conditions are written in terms of the delta function. The delta function is expanded approximately in a finite series in Legendre polynomials. Depending on the number of terms, this series represents holes of various sizes. The solution to the problem is sought by expanding the desired function in a series in powers of the Reynolds number, whose coefficients are expanded in series in associated Legendre functions of the first kind. The velocity field and also the force acting on the inner sphere are found. Numerical computations are presented for holes whose aperture half-angle is 6°.     

Shape optimization of two equal holes in an infinite elastic plate

Abstract

The optimal design of the stress state in elastic plate structures with openings is a problem of great significance in engineering practice. Achieving proper shape of hole can reduce stress concentration around the boundaries remarkably. The optimal shape of a single hole in an infinite plate under uniform stresses has been obtained by complex variable method based on different optimal criteria. The complex variable method is particularly suitable for the hole shape optimization in infinite plate, in which the continuous hole boundary can be represented by the mapping function. It can also be used to solve the shape optimization problems of two or more holes. However, because of the difficulty of finding the mapping function for multi connected domain, the holes are mapped onto slits or separately mapped onto a circle. In this article, the two symmetrical and identical holes are mapped onto an annulus simultaneously by the newly found mapping function, which has a general form. The maximum tangential stress around the boundaries is minimized to achieve the optimal hole shape. And the coefficients of mapping function which describe the boundary are calculated by differential-evolution algorithm.     

Hole-shape optimization in a finite plate in the presence of auxiliary holes

Minimizing the stress concentration around holes in uniaxially loaded finite plates is an important consideration in engineering design. One method for reducing the stress concentration around a central circular hole in a uniaxially loaded plate is to introduce smaller auxiliary holes on either side of the original hole to help smooth the flow of the tensile principal-stress trajectories past the original hole. This method has been demonstrated by Heywood and systematically studied by Erickson and Riley. Erickson and Riley show that for a central-hole diameter-to-plate width ratio of 0.222, the maximum stress reduction is up to 16 percent. In recent work, Durelliet al. show that the stress concentrations around holes in uniaxially loaded plates can be minimized by changing the hole shape itself till an optimum hole profile with constant stress values respectively on the tensile and compressive segments of the hole boundary is reached. By this technique the maximum stress reduction obtained for the above case is up to 20 percent. In the present work, starting with the optimum sizes and locations of central and auxiliary circular holes for a finite plate given by Erickson and Riley, a systematic study of the hole-shape optimization is undertaken. A two-dimensional photoelastic method is used. For a central-hole diameter-to-plate width ratio of 0.222, the reduction in stress-concentration factor obtained after hole-shape optimization is about 30 percent. It is also shown that it is possible to introduce the ‘equivalent ellipse’ concept for optimized holes.     

An efficient and accurate iterative stress solution for an infinite elastic plate around two elliptic holes,subjected to uniform loads on the hole boundaries and at infinity

Using the Schwarz's alternating method and the Muskhelishvili's complex variable function techniques, an efficient and accurate stress solution for an infinite elastic plate around two elliptic holes, subjected to uniform loads on the hole boundaries and at infinity, is presented in this paper. The present algorithm can be used to compute the stress concentration factors (SCF), i.e., the ratio of the maximum tangential hoop stress to the applied uniform load, on the boundaries of the two elliptical holes of different sizes and layouts under different loading conditions, as illustrated in two numerical cases.
