Action of a Periodic Load on an Elastic Floating Plate

The problem of the behavior of an elastic floating plate in the form of a strip under the action of a periodic surface load is solved using the Wiener-Hopf technique. The shortwave approximation is found in explicit form. The effect of the frequency and nature of the acting load on the vibration amplitudes of the fluid and the plate is investigated numerically. It is found that for certain loads no waves propagate in the fluid and the vibrations of the plate are localized in the neighborhood of the acting load. Conditions under which local vibration can be realized are found.__________Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Academii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, 2005, pp. 132–146.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Tkacheva.     

Scattering of Surface Waves by the Edge of a Floating Elastic Plate

The diffraction of plane surface waves by a semiinfinite floating plate in a fluid of finite depth is studied. An explicit analytical solution of the problem is obtained using the Wiener–Hopf technique. Simple exact formulas for reflection and transmission coefficients and their asymptotic expressions are derived. Results of numerical calculations using the obtained formulas are presented.     

Indentation of a Rigid Body into an Elastic Plate

The problem of a punch shaped like an elliptic paraboloid pressed into an elastic plate is studied under the assumption that the contact region is small. The action of the punch on the plate is modeled by point forces and moments. The method of joined asymptotic expansions is used to formulate the problem of one–sided contact for the internal asymptotic representation; the problem is solved with the use of the results obtained by L. A. Galin. The coordinates of the center of the elliptic contact region, its dimensions, and the angle of rotation are determined. The moments which ensure translational indentation of the punch are calculated and an equation that relates displacements of the punch to the force acting on it is given.

Bending of an Anisotropic Elliptic Plate on an Elastic Foundation

An approach is proposed to solve a stress–strain problem for anisotropic rigidly fixed plates on an elastic foundation. The problem is solved by the method of successive approximations. At each approximation, the deflection is represented as polynomials whose coefficients are determined from a system of linear algebraic equations. Study is made of the influence of the reinforcement angle and the modulus of subgrade reaction on the deflections and the bending moments in an orthotropic plate.     

Identification of the Impulsive Load on an Elastic Rectangular Plate

The paper presents a stable solution to an ill-posed problem of identification of the time-dependent impulsive load acting on a plate (an inverse elastic problem). The time dependence of the deformation at one point of the plate is known from a numerical analysis, where errors occurring in a real experiment are modeled. The results obtained are compared with data for a rectangular plate under impact loading     

Instability of an Unbounded Elastic Plate in a Gas Flow

The stability of an unbounded plane elastic plate in gas moving on one side of the plate and at rest on the other is analyzed. The gases are inviscid and in general different. The plate is under tension and has flexural stiffness. It is shown that the system is always unstable to plane sinusoidal perturbations with wave vector parallel to the velocity. As limiting cases, a tangential discontinuity between the two gases and unilateral flow past a plate with constant pressure on the opposite side are considered. In these cases, the conditions of stability to plane perturbations are non-trivial and are investigated below.     

Repair of a Plate with a Circular Hole by Applying a Patch

The stressed state of a thin elastic infinite plate with a circular hole covered by a circular patch of a greater radius is considered. The center of the hole coincides with the center of the patch. The patch is attached to the plate along its entire boundary. Stresses are prescribed at infinity on the plate and at the hole boundary. Complex Muskhelishvili potentials are found by the method of power series, and the behavior of stresses on the patch–plate interface and at the hole boundary is studied.     

Nonlinear Antiplane Deformation of an Elastic Body

The antiplane elastic deformation of a homogeneous isotropic prestretched cylindrical body is studied in a nonlinear formulation in actual–state variables under incompressibility conditions, the absence of volume forces, and under constant lateral loading along the generatrix. The boundary–value problem of axial displacement is obtained in Cartesian and complex variables and sufficient ellipticity conditions for this problem are indicated in terms of the elastic potential. The similarity to a plane vortex–free gas flow is established. The problem is solved for Mooney and Rivlin—Sonders materials simulating strong elastic deformations of rubber–like materials. Axisymmetric solutions are considered.     

Integral Representations for the Deflection and the Slope of a Plate on an Elastic Foundation

With the help of two fundamental solutions, integral representations for the deflection and the slope of polygonal shaped plates on an elastic foundation are derived. The kernel functions are evaluated in terms of zero-order Kelvin- or Thomson-functions and their derivatives, respectively. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

Abstract

An approximate solution is presented for the bending problem of an annular sector plate resting on a Winkler-type elastic foundation. As a numerical example, the case of a semicircular plate under a uniformly distributed load and having clamped curved edges has been considered.     

Exact Solutions for a Thick Elastic Plate with a Thin Elastic Surface Layer

A procedure has been developed in previous papers for constructing exact solutions of the equations of linear elasticity in a plate (not necessarily thin) of inhomogeneous isotropic linearly elastic material in which the elastic moduli depend in any specified manner on a coordinate normal to the plane of the plate. The essential idea is that any solution of the classical equations for a hypothetical thin plate or laminate (which are two-dimensional theories) generates, by straightforward substitutions, a solution of the three-dimensional elasticity equations for the inhomogeneous material. In this paper we consider a thick plate of isotropic elastic material with a thin surface layer of different isotropic elastic material. It is shown that the interface tractions and in-plane stress discontinuities are determined only by the initial two-dimensional solution, without recourse to the three-dimensional elasticity theory. Two illustrative examples are described.     

Elastic Displacement in a Half-Space Under the Action of a Tensor Force. General Solution for the Half-Space with Point Forces

The elastic displacement in an isotropic elastic half-space with free surface is calculated for a point tensor force which may arise from the seismic moment of seismic sources concentrated at an inner point of the half-space. The starting point of the calculation is the decomposition of the displacement by means of the Helmholtz potentials and a simplified version of the Grodskii-Neuber-Papkovitch procedure. The calculations are carried out by using generalized Poisson equations and in-plane Fourier transforms, which are convenient for treating boundary conditions. As a general result we compute the displacement in the isotropic elastic half-space with free surface caused by point forces with arbitrary structure and orientation, localized either beneath the surface (generalized Mindlin problem) or on the surface (generalized Boussinesq-Cerruti problems). The inverse Fourier transforms are carried out by means of Sommerfeld-type integrals. For forces buried in the half-space explicit results are given for the surface displacement, which may exhibit finite values at the origin, or at distances on the surface of the order of the depth of the source. The problem presented here may be viewed as an addition to the well-known static problems of elastic equilibrium of a half-space under the action of concentrated loads. The application of the method to similar problems and another approach to the starting point of the general solution are discussed.     

Bending of an Elastic Anisotropic Plate with a Circular Opening Stiffened Over Finite Areas

A contact problem is solved for an infinite anisotropic plate weakened by a circular opening, stiffened by inclusions of variable stiffness, and subjected to bending. For the unknown contact force of interaction between the plate and an inclusion, an integro-differential equation is derived and then reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations. The system is analyzed for regularity.     

Existence of Weak Solutions for the Unsteady Interaction of a Viscous Fluid with an Elastic Plate

The purpose of this work is to study the existence of solutions for an unsteady fluid-structure interaction problem. We consider a three-dimensional viscous incompressible fluid governed by the Navier–Stokes equations, interacting with a flexible elastic plate located on one part of the fluid boundary. The fluid domain evolves according to the structure’s displacement, itself resulting from the fluid force. We prove the existence of at least one weak solution as long as the structure does not touch the fixed part of the fluid boundary. The same result holds also for a two-dimensional fluid interacting with a one-dimensional membrane.     

弹性介质形变对超声波传播特性影响的实验研究

弹性介质在受到外力的情况下会发生弹性形变。在弹性介质质量一定的情况下,此弹性形变会使弹性介质的体积和密度伴随着改变。对于超声波而言,在除了弹性介质本身的其他因素不变的情况下,弹性介质体积和密度的改变将会影响到超声波的传播特性。通过理论分析得出超声波幅值和相位随弹性琼脂应力变化的关系。以琼脂作为实验模型,检测琼脂在形变时超声波的信号参数,并且通过实验数据,最终得到二者的曲线和标定公式。此结果有利于今后在介质应力检测及超声波检测技术等方面的深入研究。
