Oscillating flows in capillaries filled with immiscible liquids

Hydrodynamic flows generated by mechanical vibrations of a capillary filled with immiscible liquids are investigated. Air bubbles are contained at the hermetically sealed ends of the capillary. Equations for the change in the volumes of the air bubbles as functions of time and velocity distribution in the liquids are obtained for the case when the radius of the capillary is much less than the lengths of the liquid columns. Results of numerical calculations are given for a capillary filled with two liquids: water and mercury. Amplitude-frequency dependences of the change in volumes of the air bubbles are constructed which have a resonance nature. Graphs of the dependence of the velocity of the water and the mercury on the radial coordinate at different times are given.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 13–18, September–October, 1987.     

Equation of small transverse vibrations of an elastic pipeline filled with a transported fluid

The integro-differential equation of small transverse vibrations of a rectilinear elastic pipeline filled with a transported fluid is obtained. The pipeline vibrations are described in the linear setting in the beam approximation. The mutual dynamic influence of motions of the pipeline and the filling fluid is taken into account. A complete trigonometric series method is presented for solving problems with various boundary and initial conditions for the pipeline deflection.

Nonlinear vibrations of cylindrical shells filled with a fluid and subjected to longitudinal and transverse periodic excitation

The paper proposes an approach to studying the nonlinear vibrations of thin cylindrical shells filled with a fluid and subjected to a combined transverse–longitudinal load. Methods of nonlinear mechanics are used to find and analyze periodic solutions of the system of equations that describes the dynamic behavior of the shell when the natural frequencies of the shell and the frequencies of both periodic forces are in resonance relations.     

Experimental research of the vibrations of a cylindrical shell filled with some medium and subjected to impulsive loading

A procedure and results of experimental determination of the vibroaccelerations of a cylindrical shell filled with a continuum (water, clay, or sand) are presented. The dependence of the vibroaccelerations and natural frequencies of the shell on the density of the continuum is studied. It is established that the vibroaccelerations are maximum at resonance.     

Stabilization of beam parametric vibrations with shear deformations and rotary inertia effects

The purpose of this theoretical work is to present a stabilization problem of beam with shear deformations and rotary inertia effects. A velocity feedback and particular polarization profiles of piezoelectric sensors and actuators are introduced. The structure is described by partial differential equations with time-dependent coefficient including transverse and rotary inertia terms, general deformation state with interlaminar shear strains. The first order deformation theory is utilized to investigate beam vibrations. The beam motion is described by the transverse displacement and the slope. The almost sure stochastic stability criteria of the beam equilibrium are derived using the Liapunov direct method. If the axial force is described by the stationary and continuous with probability one process the classic differentiation rule can be applied to calculate the time-derivative of functional. The particular problem of beam stabilization due to the Gaussian and harmonic forces is analyzed in details. The influence of the shear deformations, rotary inertia effects and the gain factors on dynamic stability regions is shown.     

Nonlinear effects in deformation of filled elastomers with nanodimensional fillers

Various nonlinear effects manifesting themselves in the deformation of filled elastomers are analyzed, and the advantages and restrictions in the use of several constitutive relations proposed to describe the nonlinear viscoelastic behavior of the materials under study are discussed. We also note that further development of models of nonlinear deformation of filled elastomers under finite strains, which would permit describing their deformation properties more completely, is highly desirable.     

Finite amplitude vibrations of an orthotropic circular plate with an isotropic core

The free and forced non-linear vibrations of a fixed orthotropic circular plate, with a concentric core of isotropic material, are studied. Existence of harmonic vibrations is assumed and thus the time variable is eliminated by a Ritz-Kantorovich method. Hence, the governing non-linear partial equations for the axisymmetric vibration of the composite circular plate are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations which form a non-linear eigen-value problem. Solutions are obtained by utilizing the related initial-value problems in conjunction with Newton's integration method. The results reveal the effects of finite amplitude and anisotropy of materials upon the dynamic responses. Further, the method developed in this paper, which is used to solve the title problem, is one of some generality. It can be applied to many differential eigenvalue problems with piecewise continuous functions.
