Equation in complex variable of axisymmetrical deformation problems for a general shell of revolution

In this paper, the equation of axisymmetrical deformation problems for a general shell of revolution is derived in one complex variable under the usual Love-Kirchhoff assumption. In the case of circular ring shells, this equation may be simplified into the equation given by F.Tölke(1938)^[3], R.A.Clark(1950)^[4]and V.V.Novozhilov(1951)^[5]. When the horizontal radius of the shell of revolution is much larger than the average radius of curvature of meridian curve, this equation in complex variable may be simplified into the equation for slander ring shells. If the ring shell is circular in shape, then this equation can be reduced into the equation in complex variable for slander circular ring shells given by this author (1979)^[6]. If the form of elliptic cross-section is near a circle, then the equation of slander ring shell with near-circle ellipitic cross-section may be reduced to the complex variable equation similar in form for circular slander ring shells.     

The bending of elastic circular ring of non-homogeneous and variable cross section under the actions of arbitrary loads

On the basis of the stepped reduction method suggested in [1], we investigate the problem of the bending of elastic circular ring of non-homogeneous and variable cross section under the actions of arbitrary loads. The general solution of this problem is obtained so that it can be used for the calculations of strength and rigidity of practical problems such as arch, tunnel etc. In order to examine results of this paper and explain the application of this new method, an example is brought out at the end of this paper. Circular ring and arch are commonly used structures in engineering. Timoshenko, S.^[2], Barber, J. R.^[3], Tsumura Rimitsu^[4] et al. have studied these problems of bending, but, so far as we know, it has been solely restricted to the general solution of homogeneous uniform cross section ring. The only known solution for the problems with variable cross section ones has been solely restricted to the solution of special case of flexural rigidity in linear function of coordinates. On account of fundamental equations of the non-homogeneous variable cross section problem being variable coefficients, it is very difficult to solve them. In this paper, we use the stepped reduction method suggested in [1] to transform the variable coefficient differential equation into equivalent constant coefficient one. After introducing virtual internal forces, we obtain general solution of an elastic circular ring with non-homogeneity and variable cross section under the actions of arbitrary loads.     

On the jumping problems of a circular thin plate with initial deflection

In this paper, the jumping problems of a circular thin plate with initial deflection are studied by using the method of two variables^[3],[4] proposed by Jiang Fu-ru and the method of the normal perturbation (in this paper (1.1), (1.2)). We obtain Nth-order uniformly valid asymptotic expansion of the solution of this problem ((1.66), (1.67)). When the initial deflection vanishes the solution of a circular thinplate with initial deflection is reduced to the solution of the problems of the nonlinear bending of a circular thin plate^[6]. If the initial deflection is largish and the signs of the initial deflection with the intensity of the transverse load are opposite, when the intensity of the transverse load reaches a certain value, the circular thin plate with initial deflection should produce the jumping phenomenon^[8].     

The first-order approximation of non-Kirchhoff-Love theory for elastic circular plate with fixed boundary under uniform surface loading (III)—Numerical results

Based upon the differential equations and their related boundary conditions given in the previous papers^{[1, 2]}, using a global interpolation method, this paper presents a numerical solution to the axisymmetric bending problem of non-Kirchhoff-Love theory for circular plate with fixed boundary under uniform surface loading. All the numerical results obtained in this paper are compared with that of Kirchhoff-Love classical theory^[3] and E. Reissner's modified theory^[4].     

The asymptotic analyeical solution of the strain-hardening elasto-plastic plate containing A circular hole under simple tension

In this paper the general asymptotic analytical solution of plane problem of elasto-plasticity with strain-hardening^[2] is used in solving the problem of an infinitely large plate containing a circular hole under simple tension, and the analytical expressions of stress components of the first two approximations are given. These results are compared with the numerical and the experimental results given by other authors^{[4, 5]}, and a good agreement is obtained. At the end of this paper the authors inspect the correctness of Neuber's formula^[9] for this problem.     

A new approximate analytical solution of the ideal potential flow around a circular cylinder between two parallel flat plates

In ref. [1], Lin obtained an approximate analytical solution of the ideal potential flow around a circular cylinder between two parallel flat flates.In this paper, the author shows that one may obtain the result coinciding with that obtained in ref. [1] by making use of the Shvez's method^[2]. Morever, we can obtain a more accurate result than that obtained in ref. [1], if we make use of the improved Shvez's method^[2]. Some calculating examples are presented.     

Large deflection problem of a clamped elliptical plate subjected to uniform pressure

In this paper, the perturbation solution of large deflection problem of clamped elliptical plate subjected to uniform pressure is given on the basis of the perturbation solution of large deflection problem of similar clamped circular plate (1948), (1954). The analytical solution of this problem was obtained in 1957. However, due to social difficulties, these results have never been published. Nash and Cooley (1959) published a brief note of similar nature, in which only the case λ=a/b=2 is given. In this paper, the analytical solution is given in detail up to the 2nd approximation. The numerical solutions are given for various Poisson ratios v=0.25, 0.30, 0.35 and for various eccentricities λ=1, 2, 3, 4, 5, which can be used in the calculation of engineering designs.

Axisymmetric boundary-value problems in a piezoelectric medium

Based on the general solution of three-dimensional problems in piezoelectric medium, with the method of Green's functins^[2], axisymmetric boundary-value problems are discussed. The purpose of this research is for analyzing the effective on mechanics and electricity of the piezoelectric ceramics caused by voids and inclusions. The displacement, traction and electric Green's functions corresponding to circular ring loads acting in the interior of a piezoelectric ceramic are obtained. A cylindrical coordinate system is employed and Hankel transform are applied with respect to radial coordinates. Explicit solutions for Green's functions are presented in terms of infinite integrals of Lipshitz-Hankel type. By solving a traction boundary-value problem, the solution scheme is illustrated.

Further study on large deflection of circular sandwich plates

In this paper, a nonlinear solution is first presented for a circular sandwich plate with the flexure rigidity of the face layers taken into account. In solving the nonlinear bending equations, a modified power series method is proposed. The uniformly distributed loading and the clamped but sliding boundary condition are also assumed. Then our results are compared with those from Liu Ren-huai and Shi-Yun-fang ^[15]. The present solution can be used as a more accurate basis in engineering applications.Project Supported by the Science Fund of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.     

Large deflection problem of circular plates with variable thickness under the action of combined loads

By using the modified iteration method of large deflection theory of plates with variable thickness^[1], we solve the problem of circular plates with variable thickness subjected to combined loads under the boundary conditions of the clamped edges and get comparatively more accurate second-order approximate analytical solution. If the results of this paper are degraded into the special cases, the results coinciding with those of papers [1, 2] can be obtained. In this paper, the characteristic curves are plotted and some comparisons are made. The results of this paper are satisfactory.

The analytical solution of this problem will present in another paper.     

Vector analysis of spatial mechanism — (IV) dynamics of spatial mechanisms

The standard dynamical problems of the previous four spatial mechanisms are here solved by the method of vector equations. The procedure is completely independent of the transfer matrices due to the changes of reference frame from one connecting pair to the next, as used by Yang and Bagci^[1][2].     

Compatible dynamic finite element with diagonalized consistent mass matrix

In this paper, the compatible dynamic finite elements with diagonalized consistent mass matrix are studied. In previous papers^[1,2], the author studied the dynamic finite elements with diagonalized consistent mass matrix, but all of them are incompatible elements. In this paper, the compatible form functions are obtained not only for the tetrahedron elements, but also for the triangular ring elements, with diagonalized consistent mass matrices. This kind of finite elements can be used for the treatment of impact problems, vibration problems, and problems involving time coordinates, including the linear and nonlinear problems.     

The stokes flow from half-space into semi-infinite circular cylinder

The infinite-series solutions for the creeping motion of a viscous incompressible fluid from half-space into semi-infinite circular cylinder are presented. The results show that inside the cylinder beyond a distance equal to 0.5 times the radius of the tube from the pore opening, the deviation of the velocity profile from Poiseuille flow is less than 1%. The inlet length in this case is comparable to that computed for a finite circular cylinder pore by Dagan et al.^[1]. In the half-space outside the cylinder pore region, the flow is strongly affected by the wall. Beyond one radius of the tube from the orifice, the solutions match almost exactly the flow through an orifice of zero thickness given by Sampson^[2]. The relationship between the pressure drop and the volumetric flow rate is also computed in the present paper for the semi-infinite tube.

By reducing the boundary value problem in stress analysis of bellows into initial value problem, this paper presents a numerical solution of stress distribution in semi-circular arc type bellows based upon the toroidal shell equation of V. V. Novozelov^[8]. Throughout the computation, S. Gill’s method^[1O] of extrapolation is used. The stresses and deformations of bellows under axial load and internal pressure are c-alculated, the results of which agree completely with those derived from the general solution of Prof. Chien Wei-zang^[1-4]. The extrapolation formula presented in this paper greatly promotes the accuracy of discrete calculation.The computer program in BASIC language of Wang 2200 VS computer is included in the appendix.

The uniqueness and existence of solution of the characteristic problem on the generalized KdV equation

The generalized KdV equationu ₁+auu_a+μu_a3+eu_a5=0^[1] is a typical integrable equation. It is derived studying the dissemination of magnet sound wave in cold plasma^[2], the isolated wave in transmission line^[3], and the isolated wave in the boundary surface of the divided layer fluid^[4]. For the characteristic problem of the generalized KdV equation, this paper, based on the Riemann function, designs a suitable structure, then changes the characteristic problem to an equivalent integral and differential equation whose corresponding fixed point, the above integral differential equation has a unique regular solution, so the characteristic problem of the generalized KdV equation has a unique solution. The iteration solution derived from the integral differential equation sequence is uniformly convegent in .
