Stability and free vibration analyses of double-bonded micro composite sandwich cylindrical shells conveying fluid flow

In this study, based on Reddy cylindrical double-shell theory, the free vibration and stability analyses of double-bonded micro composite sandwich cylindrical shells reinforced by carbon nanotubes conveying fluid flow under magneto-thermo-mechanical loadings using modified couple stress theory are investigated. It is assumed that the cylindrical shells with foam core rested in an orthotropic elastic medium and the face sheets are made of composites with temperature-dependent material properties. Also, the Lorentz functions are applied to simulation of magnetic field in the thickness direction of each face sheets. Then, the governing equations of motions are obtained using Hamilton's principle. Moreover, the generalized differential quadrature method is used to discretize the equations of motions and solve them. There are a good agreement between the obtained results from this method and the previous studies. Numerical results are presented to predict the effects of size-dependent length scale parameter, third order shear deformation theory, magnetic intensity, length-to-radius and thickness ratios, Knudsen number, orthotropic foundation, temperature changes and carbon nanotubes volume fraction on the natural frequencies and critical flow velocity of cylindrical shells. Also, it is demonstrated that the magnetic intensity, temperature changes and carbon nanotubes volume fraction have important effects on the behavior of micro composite sandwich cylindrical shells. So that, increasing the magnetic intensity, volume fraction and Winkler spring constant lead to increase the dimensionless natural frequency and stability of micro shells, while this parameter reduce by increasing the temperature changes. It is noted that sandwich structures conveying fluid flow are used as sensors and actuators in smart devices and aerospace industries. Moreover, carotid arteries play an important role to high blood rate control that they have a similar structure with flow conveying cylindrical shells. In fact, the present study can be provided a valuable background for more research and further experimental investigation.     

An interface crack moving between magnetoelectroelastic and functionally graded elastic layers

A constant crack moving along the interface of magnetoelectroelastic and functionally graded elastic layers under anti-plane shear and in-plane electric and magnetic loading is investigated by the integral transform method. Fourier transforms are applied to reduce the mixed boundary value problem of the crack to dual integral equations, which are expressed in terms of Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The singular stress, electric displacement and magnetic induction near the crack tip are obtained asymptotically and the corresponding field intensity factors are defined. Numerical results show that the stress intensity factors are influenced by the crack moving velocity, the material properties, the functionally graded parameter and the geometric size ratios. The propagation of the moving crack may bring about crack kinking, depending on the crack moving velocity and the material properties across the interface.     

Modelling the material behaviour of magnetorheological fluids under shear deformation

In recent years the interest in materials with specific adjustable properties has increased due to higher requirements on the material performance. Here a smart composite material is to be developed, whose stiffness can be varied subjected to a magnetic field. To realise this aim a magnetorheological fluid (MRF) embedded in a polymeric matrix material is considered. To model the material behaviour of the composite a homogenisation method will be applied. Amongst others this requires the knowledge of the multiaxial material behaviour of each constituent. The modelling of the material behaviour of MRF under shear deformation, which is the aim of this work, represents the first step in this process. (© 2011 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

A general theoretical model for the magnetohydrodynamic flow of micropolar magnetic fluids. Application to Stokes flow

Many practical applications, which have an inherent interest of physical and mathematical nature, involve the hydrodynamic flow in the presence of a magnetic field. Magnetic fluids comprise a novel class of engineering materials, where the coexistence of liquid and magnetic properties provides us with the opportunity to solve problems with high mathematical and technical complexity. Here, our purpose is to examine the micropolar magnetohydrodynamic flow of magnetic fluids by considering a colloidal suspension of ferromagnetic material (usually non‐conductive) in a carrier magnetic liquid, which is in general electrically conductive. In this case, the ferromagnetic particles behave as rigid magnetic dipoles. Thus, the application of an external magnetic field, apart from the creation of an induced magnetic field of minor significance, will prevent the rotation of each particle, increasing the effective viscosity of the fluid and will cause the appearance of an additional magnetic pressure. Despite the fact that the general consideration consists of rigid particles of arbitrary shape, the assumption of spherical geometry is a very good approximation as a consequence of their small size. Our goal is to develop a general three‐dimensional theoretical model that conforms to physical reality and at the same time permits the analytical investigation of the partial differential equations, which govern the micropolar hydrodynamic flow in such magnetic liquids. Furthermore, in the aim of establishing the consistency of our proposed model with the principles of both ferrohydrodynamics and magnetohydrodynamics, we take into account both magnetization and electrical conductivity of the fluid, respectively. Under this consideration, we perform an analytical treatment of these equations in order to obtain the three‐dimensional effective viscosity and total pressure in terms of the velocity field, the total (applied and induced) magnetic field and the hydrodynamic and magnetic properties of the fluid, independently of the geometry of the flow. Moreover, we demonstrate the usefulness of our analytical approach by assuming a degenerate case of the aforementioned method, which is based on the reduction of the partial differential equations to a simpler shape that is similar to Stokes flow for the creeping motion of magnetic fluids. In view of this aim, we use the potential representation theory to construct a new complete and unique differential representation of magnetic Stokes flow, valid for non‐axisymmetric geometries, which provides the velocity and total pressure fields in terms of easy‐to‐find potentials, via an analytical fashion.

Exact solutions of functionally graded piezoelectric material sandwich cylinders by a modified Pagano method

The three-dimensional (3D) coupled analysis of simply-supported, functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) circular hollow sandwich cylinders under electro-mechanical loads is presented. The material properties of each FGPM layer are regarded as heterogeneous through the thickness coordinate, and obey an exponent-law dependent on this. The Pagano method is modified to be feasible for the study of FGPM sandwich cylinders. The modifications are as follows: a displacement-based formulation is replaced by a mixed formulation; a set of the complex-valued solutions of the system equations is transferred to the corresponding set of real-valued solutions; a successive approximation method is adopted to approximately transform each FGPM layer into a multilayered piezoelectric one with an equal and small thickness for each layer in comparison with the mid-surface radius, and with the homogeneous material properties determined in an average thickness sense; and a transfer matrix method is developed, so that the general solutions of the system equations can be obtained layer-by-layer, which is significantly less time-consuming than the usual approach. A parametric study is undertaken of the influence of the aspect ratio, open- and closed-circuit surface conditions, and material-property gradient index on the assorted field variables induced in the FGPM sandwich cylinders.

Lie group analysis for the effect of temperature-dependent fluid viscosity with thermophoresis and chemical reaction on MHD free convective heat and mass transfer over a porous stretching surface in the presence of heat source/sink

This paper concerns with a steady two-dimensional flow of an electrically conducting incompressible fluid over a vertical stretching sheet. The flow is permeated by a uniform transverse magnetic field. The fluid viscosity is assumed to vary as a linear function of temperature. A scaling group of transformations is applied to the governing equations. The system remains invariant due to some relations among the parameters of the transformations. After finding three absolute invariants a third-order ordinary differential equation corresponding to the momentum equation and two second-order ordinary differential equation corresponding to energy and diffusion equations are derived. The equations along with the boundary conditions are solved numerically. It is found that the decrease in the temperature-dependent fluid viscosity makes the velocity to decrease with the increasing distance of the stretching sheet. At a particular point of the sheet the fluid velocity decreases with the decreasing viscosity but the temperature increases in this case. It is found that with the increase of magnetic field intensity the fluid velocity decreases but the temperature increases at a particular point of the heated stretching surface. Impact of thermophoresis particle deposition with chemical reaction in the presence of heat source/sink plays an important role on the concentration boundary layer. The results thus obtained are presented graphically and discussed.     

Magnetic Suppression of Thermocapillary Convection in a Cylindrical Specimen

Convective flows may adversely affect the homogeneity of semiconductor crystals grown by the floating-zone method. The intensity of the convective flow can be reduced by an external magnetic field. The study simulates the convective flow in a cylindrical specimen. The mathematical model consists of the system of quasihydrodynamic (QHD) equations for a quasineutral electrically conducting fluid in an external electromagnetic field. The numerical results show how the convective flow velocities and configurations depend on the magnetic field strength.     

Elastic wave propagation energy dissipation characteristics analysis on the viscoelastic damping material structures embedded with acoustic black hole based on semi-analytical homogeneous asymptotic method

Elastic wave energy dissipation and absorption properties of viscoelastic damping material (VDM) composite plates embedded with acoustic black hole (ABH) are analyzed in this paper. Considering the periodic distribution of the ABH-embedded VDM structure in the composite plate, semi-analytical homogeneous asymptotic theory is applied, which transforms the macroscopic to a microscopic problem. In-plane variables of the composite structure are defined and generated by the third-order shear deformation theory of Reddy, and the equilibrium equations are derived by extended Hamilton's principle and the internal balance is consequently determined by representative volume element theory. Determining the constitutive equations of the composite laminate structure allow the equivalent shear and strain equilibrium equations to be achieved. Subsequently, the complex equivalent stiffness is defined according to the general Hooke's law, and the dimensionless equivalent loss tangent tanδ of the composite sandwich plate is finally evaluated from the equivalent loss and storage modulus. The ABH and VDM layer factors which affect tanδ are thoroughly analyzed and discussed. The investigation can supply a new efficient method to dissipate and absorb propagation wave energy with a wide bandwidth at low frequency. Additionally, the analysis is validated by numerical simulation and Galerkin methods.     

Multilayer beams: A geometrically exact formulation

Summary We review and extend our recent work on a new theory of multilayer structures, with particular emphasis on sandwich beams/1-D plates. Both the formulation of the equations of motion in the general dynamic case and the computational formulation of the resulting nonlinear equations of equilibrium in the static case based on a Galerkin projection are presented. Finite rotations of the layer cross sections are allowed, with shear deformation accounted for in each layer. There is no restriction on the layer thickness; the number of layers can vary between one and three. The deformed profile of a beam cross section is continuous, piecewise linear, with a motion in 2-D space identical to that of a planar multibody system that consists of three rigid links connected by hinges. With the dynamics of this multi (rigid/flexible) body being referred directly to an inertial frame, the equations of motion are derived via the balance of (1) the rate of kinetic energy and the power of resultant contact (internal) forces/couples, and (2) the power of assigned (external) forces/couples. The present formulation offers a general method for analyzing the dynamic response of flexible multilayer structures undergoing large deformation and large overall motion. With the layersnot required to have equal length, the formulation permits the analysis of an important class of multilayer structures with ply drop-off. For sandwich structures, an approximated theory with infinitesimal relative outer-layer rotations superimposed onto finite core-layer rotation is deduced from the general nonlinear equations in a consistent manner. The classical linear theory of sandwich beams/1-D plates is recovered upon a consistent linearization. Using finite element basis functions in the Galerkin projection, we provide extensive numerical examples to verify the theoretical formulation and to illustrate its versatility.

Generalised magnetic polarizability tensors

We present a new complete asymptotic expansion for the low‐frequency time‐harmonic magnetic field perturbation caused by the presence of a conducting (permeable) object as its size tends to zero for the eddy current regime of Maxwell's equations. The new asymptotic expansion allows the characterisation of the shape and material properties of such objects by a new class of generalised magnetic polarizability tensors, and we provide an explicit formula for their calculation. Our result will have important implications for metal detectors since it will improve small object discrimination, and for situations where the background field varies over the inclusion, this information will be useable, and indeed useful, in identifying their shape and material properties. Thus, improving the ability of metal detectors to locate landmines and unexploded ordnance, sort metals in recycling processes, and ensure food safety as well as enhancing security screening at airports and public events.     

Transient response of sandwich viscoelastic beams, plates, and shells under impulse loading

The transient response of sandwich beams, plates, and shells with viscoelastic layers under impulse loading is studied using the finite element method. The viscoelastic material behavior is represented by a complex modulus model. An efficient method using the fast Fourier transform is proposed. This method is based on the trigonometric representation of the input signals and the matrix of the transfer functions. The present approach makes it possible to preserve exactly the frequency dependence of the storage and loss moduli of viscoelastic materials. The logarithmic decrements are determined using the steady state vibrations of sandwich structures to characterize their damping properties. Test problems and numerical examples are given to demonstrate the validity and application of the approach suggested in this paper.

Thermal Buckling Analysis of FGM Sandwich Circular Plates Under Transverse Nonuniform Temperature Field Actions北大核心CSCD

Based on the von Kármán geometric nonlinear plate theory, the displacement⁃type geometric nonlinear governing equations for FGM sandwich circular plates under transverse nonlinear temperature field actions were derived. With the immovable clamped boundary condition, the analytical formula for dimensional critical buckling temperature differences of the system was obtained from the solution of the linear eigenvalue problem. Moreover, the 2⁃point boundary value problem of ordinary differential equations was solved with the shooting method. The effects of geometric parameters, constituent material properties, gradient indexes, temperature field parameters and layer⁃thickness ratios on the critical buckling temperature differences, the thermal postbuckling equilibrium paths, and the buckling equilibrium configurations of FGM sandwich circular plates, were investigated. The results show that, with the increases of the thickness⁃radius ratio, the relative thickness of the FGM layer and the gradient index, the FGM sandwich circular plate's critical buckling temperature difference will increase monotonically. Given a fixed radius and a fixed total thickness, the postbuckling deformation of the FGM sandwich circular plate will decrease significantly with the relative thickness of the FGM layer. © 2023 Editorial Office of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics.

Biomagnetic viscoelastic fluid flow over a stretching sheet

Of concern in this paper is an investigation of biomagnetic flow of a non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluid over a stretching sheet under the influence of an applied magnetic field generated owing to the presence of a magnetic dipole. The viscoelasticity of the fluid is characterised by Walter’s B fluid model. The applied magnetic field has been considered to be sufficiently strong to saturate the ferrofluid. The magnetization of the fluid is considered to vary linearly with temperature as well as the magnetic field intensity. The theoretical treatment of the physical problem consists of reducing it to solving a system of non-linear coupled differential equations that involve six parameters, which are solved by developing a finite difference technique. The velocity profile, the skin-friction, the wall pressure and the rate of heat transfer at the sheet are computed for a specific situation. The study shows that the fluid velocity increases as the rate of heat transfer decreases, while the local skin-friction and the wall pressure increase as the magnetic field strength is increased. It is also revealed that fluid viscoelasticity has an enhancing effect on the local skin-friction. The study will have an important bearing on magnetic drug targeting and separation of red cells as well as on the control of blood flow during surgery.

The influence of thermal radiation on MHD flow of Maxwellian fluids above stretching sheets

Flow induced in a viscoelastic fluid by a linearly stretched sheet is investigated assuming that the fluid is Maxwellian and the sheet is subjected to a transverse magnetic field. The objective is to investigate the effects of parameters such as elasticity number, magnetic number, radiative heat transfer, Prandtl number, and Eckert number on the temperature field above the sheet. To do this, boundary layer theory will be used to simplify energy and momentum equations assuming that fluid physical/rheological properties remain constant. A suitable similarity transformation will be used to transform boundary layer equations from PDEs into ODEs. Homotopy analysis method (HAM) will be invoked to find an analytical solution for the temperature field above the sheet knowing the velocity profiles (see Alizadeh-Pahlavan et al. [Alizadeh-Pahlavan A, Aliakbar V, Vakili-Farahani F, Sadeghy K. MHD flows of UCM fluids above porous stretching sheets using two-auxiliary parameter homotopy analysis method. Commun. Nonlinear Sci Numer Simulat, in press]). The importance of manipulating the transverse velocity component, v, will be discussed on the temperature field above the sheet.
