倾斜界面耦合弹性层中的渡越辐射能

物理学中,摄动源在非均匀介质中或非均匀介质附近匀速直线运动所产生的能量辐射现象称为渡越辐射.列车沿轨道运行,由轮轨接触产生的弹性波在非均匀轨道和基础中传播将发生渡越辐射,而轨道和基础的非均匀性集中体现在不同轨道基础之间的过渡段(如路桥过渡段、桥隧过渡段或有砟-无砟轨道过渡段).为研究车致弹性波在过渡段中引发的渡越辐射现象,本文以典型高速铁路路桥过渡段结构形式为依据,建立了二维平面应力渡越辐射能计算模型.其中,两个材料参数不同的半无限弹性层由一倾斜界面耦合,底端固定,上表面自由,一个集中载荷在自由表面上匀速运动.界面两侧弹性体中的波动方程均分解为本征场、自由场两个部分分别求解,其中自由场波动方程采用分离变量法数值求解.通过模型求解得到了不同载荷移动速度和界面倾斜角度条件下的渡越辐射能及界面附近应变能密度.结果表明,渡越辐射能的大小随载荷移动速度增大单调非线性增大,移动载荷速度达到刚度较大一侧介质表面波速的74%时产生的渡越辐射能就将超过载荷本身激发的本征场应变能;界面倾斜角度越大,即两侧介质刚度过渡距离越短,渡越辐射能与本征场应变能比值越大.      

Load motion along a beam on a viscoelastic half-space

An expression is derived for equivalent foundation of a viscoelastic half-space interacting with an Euler–Bernoulli beam. It is shown that this equivalent viscoelastic foundation depends on frequencies and wave numbers of the waves in the beam. The real and imaginary part of it substantially varies for phase velocities in between the Rayleigh and shear waves velocities. Radiation of elastic waves occurs for velocities larger than some velocity in that interval. The steady-state beam displacements due to a uniformly moving constant load are calculated for different velocities. The maximum displacement under the load takes place for a velocity of order of the Rayleigh waves velocity.     

Behavior of a Semi-Infinite Ice Cover Under a Uniformly Moving Load

This paper consideres the behavior of a semi-infinite ice cover on the surface of an ideal incompressible fluid of finite depth under the action of a load moving with constant velocity along the edge of the cover at some distance from it. The ice cover is modeled by a thin elastic plate of constant thickness. In a moving coordinate system, the deflection of the plate is assumed to be steady. An analytic solution of the problem is obtained using the Wiener–Hopf technique. The wave forces, the deflection of the plate, and the elevation of the free surface of the fluid at different velocities of the load are investigated.     

Transition radiation in an elastically supported string. Abrupt and smooth variations of the support stiffness

Generation of waves due to a constant load moving uniformly along an infinite string resting on an inhomogeneous elastic foundation is studied. Two types of inhomogeneity are considered: (1) an abrupt change of the foundation stiffness; (2) a smooth change of the foundation stiffness. It is shown that transition radiation arises as the load passes the region of inhomogeneity. Expressions for the spectral density of the radiation energy forwards (in the direction of the load motion) and backwards are found and analysed as a function of the load velocity, the ratio of the foundation stiffness and a characteristic length of the inhomogeneity. To visualise the process of radiation the transient vibrations of the string are determined for an abrupt change of the stiffness.     

Motion of an object along a one-dimensional guide under elastic wave radiation reaction

We consider nonseparated motion of an object along a one-dimensional elastic guide (a beam or a string) under the radiated wave pressure. Conditions on the parameters of the vibration sources acting on the object and providing directional radiation are obtained. Using the exact solutions obtained under the assumption that the law of motion is uniform, we study the dependencies of the motive force and the vibration-source-to-object-translational-motion energy conversion factor (efficiency) on the body velocity. It is shown that an object moving at a supercritical velocity for the case in which only a single wave is excited to the left of it must be distributed; i.e., its dimensions must be comparable with the radiated wave length. In this case, the efficiency can be arbitrarily close to unity.     

A dynamic problem for a prestressed compressible layered half-space

The linearized theory of elasticity for prestressed bodies is used to solve a stationary plane problem for a prestressed two-layer half-space under a surface load moving with constant velocity. The half-space is assumed to be compressible and to have an arbitrary elastic potential. The Fourier transform is used to obtain the fundamental solution of the problem for different contact conditions and load velocities. A compressible material with a harmonic elastic potential is considered as an example __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 4, pp. 35–55, April 2008.     

STEADY-STATE RESPONSE OF A TIMOSHENKO BEAM ON AN ELASTIC HALF-SPACE UNDER A MOVING LOAD

By introducing the equivalent stiffness of an elastic half-space interacting with a Timoshenko beam, the displacement solution of the beam resting on an elastic half-space subjected to a moving load is presented. Based on the relative relation of wave velocities of the half-space and the beam, four cases with the combination of different parameters of the half-space and the beam, the system of soft beam and hard half-space, the system of sub-soft beam and hard half-space, the system of sub-hard beam and soft half-space, and the system of hard beam and soft half-space are considered. The critical velocities of the moving load are studied using dispersion curves. It is found that critical velocities of the moving load on the Timoshenko beam depend on the relative relation of wave velocities of the half-space and the beam. The Rayleigh wave velocity in the half-space is always a critical velocity and the response of the system will be infinite when the load velocity reaches it. For the system of soft beam and hard half-space, wave velocities of the beam are also critical velocities. Besides the shear wave velocity of the beam, there is an additional minimum critical velocity for the system of sub-soft beam and hard half-space. While for systems of (sub-) hard beams and soft half-space, wave velocities of the beam are no longer critical ones. Comparison with the Euler-Bernoulli beam shows that the critical velocities and response of the two types of beams are much different for the system of (sub-) soft beam and hard half-space but are similar to each other for the system of (sub-) hard beam and soft half space. The largest displacement of the beam is almost at the location of the load and the displacement along the beam is almost symmetrical if the load velocity is smaller than the minimum critical velocity (the shear wave velocity of the beam for the system of soft beam and hard half-space). The largest displacement of the beam shifts behind the load and the asymmetry of the displacement along the beam increases with the increase of the load velocity due to the damping and wave radiation. The displacement of the beam at the front of the load is very small if the load velocity is larger than the largest wave velocity of the beam and the half space. The results of the present study provide attractive theoretical and practical references for the analysis of ground vibration induced by the high-speed train.     

Analytical dynamic displacement response of rigid pavements to moving concentrated and line loads

This paper presents the formulation of a plate of infinite dimensions (without boundary conditions) on an elastic foundation, subjected to a moving concentrated and line load of constant amplitude and speed, using a triple Fourier transform. The solution is carried out integration by residues. A closed-form solution of displacement field has been obtained for a moving load with subsonic, transonic and supersonic speeds. It is found that the maximum response of the slab occurs beneath the moving load and travels with the load at the same speed. It is also shown that a critical speed exists. If the moving load travels at critical speed, slab displacement becomes infinite in amplitude.     

Heat generation at the tip of a moving crack

The high energy concentration at the tip of a moving crack causes irreversible deformations and produces heat as a consequence. The resulting temperatures were calculated by consideration of the crack tip as a moving heat-source of rectangular shape. In brittle materials with very small plastic zones and high crack velocities, these temperatures are predicted to be higher than 1000 K. For the experimental verification of these calculations, a very sensitive radiation thermometer was developed. It registers the intensity of the radiation at four wavelengths. By comparison of these intensities with that of black body radiation, the temperature was determined as 3200 K for glass and 4700 K for quartz.     

Reflection and transmission of elastic waves by a moving slab

Scattering of elastic waves by a moving slab is considered. Two cases corresponding to strong contact and good lubrication are treated. It is shown that the motion introduces new effective compressional and shear wave velocities in the moving slab. The amplitude of the reflection and transmission coefficients are given for various angles of incidence, frequencies and velocities of motion.

A knife-edge load traveling on the surface of an elastic halfspace

A load moving on the surface of an elastic halfspace forms a basic problem that is related to different fields of engineering, such as the subsoil response due to vehicle motion or the ultrasound field due to an angle beam transducer. Many numerical techniques have been developed to solve this problem, but these do not provide the fundamental physical insights that are offered by closed form solutions, which are very rare in comparison. This paper describes the development and analysis of the closed form space-time domain solution for a knife-edge load, i.e. a line segment of normal traction, moving at a constant speed on the surface of an elastic halfspace. The various contributions making up the exact solution, obtained with the Cagniard-De Hoop method, produce all the complicated wave patterns from this distributed type of loading. Examples are the transient wave field at the starting position of the load, angled conical and plane waves propagating into the solid, Rayleigh waves propagating along the surface, and head waves spreading and attenuating in specific directions from the loading path. The influence of the load speed on the wave field is investigated by considering the singularities in the relevant complex domains, for each sonic range relative to the bulk wave velocities. The characteristic wave fronts and wave patterns as exhibited by the particle displacements are evaluated for subsonic, transonic and supersonic load speeds.     

Ponding instability of air-supported spherical membranes with initial imperfections

The stability of a spherical, air-supported membrane subjected to a concentrated load and an accumulating ponding fluid is the subject of the present paper which consists of two parts: in the first part a spherical elastic membrane with an initial imperfection at the apex is considered. The effect of the ponding fluid accumulating in the initial depression reduces the value of the critical load significantly. Simple formulae for the critical load are obtained. In the second part, the case of a non-symmetric load applied to the membrane is considered. Results indicate that the eccentricity causes a significant increase in the value of the critical load thereby making the axisymmetric loading the governing configuration.     

Dynamic displacements of an infinite beam on a poroelastic half space due to a moving oscillating load

This investigation is concerned with the dynamic displacements of a beam on a poroelastic half space under a periodic oscillating load of constant velocity. The governing equations for the proposed analysis are solved using Fourier transform. The expression for the vertical displacement is obtained according to the contact condition between a beam and a half space. The effects of the moving velocity and vibration frequency of the load on the dynamic displacement are considered in the numerical examples. The results show that the load velocity has significant influence on dynamic displacement. It is also noted that large differences exist between the dynamic responses for a beam on a poroelastic half space and on an elastic half space when the load velocity is larger than the shear wave speed of the medium. The reported work is supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Project No. 10372073).     

Surface waves generated by a line load on a half-space with depth-dependent properties

The reciprocity theorem of elastodynamics is used in this paper to determine the surface waves that are radiated from a time-harmonic line load applied at the surface of a solid body, whose elastic moduli and mass density depend on the distance from the surface. In a high-frequency approximation, the surface wave velocity and expressions for the displacement and stresses of free surface waves are employed in the reciprocity theorem. The general expressions for the surface wave radiated by the oscillating line load, together with a virtual free surface wave, when employed in the reciprocity theorem, yield relatively simple expressions for the amplitude factor of the radiated surface wave. Results show the amplitude factor as a function of the wavenumber.     

Elastic precursor decay and radiation from nonuniformly moving dislocations

Precursor decay in plate impact experiments on single crystals is re-examined from the viewpoint of the elastodynamics of moving dislocations. Superposition of solutions for many dislocations set in motion by an incident plane wave is used to relate the decay of the wave amplitude at the front of the plane wave to the density and velocity of dislocations at the wavefront. The resulting precursor decay relation is the same as the one derived from an elastic/visco-plastic model of the material, except for a small correction due to differences between the effects of forward and backward propagating dislocations. Motivated by this added support for the validity of the precursor decay equation, the values used for the quantities in this equation are re-examined. Recent experimental results and the elastodynamics analysis are interpreted as indicating that the commonly-used values of dislocation velocity are probably satisfactory, but that the values used for dislocation density are several orders of magnitude too small near the lapped surfaces of the crystal. These large dislocation densities are identified as the probable dominant cause of the lower-than-predicted precursor amplitudes that are recorded in experiments. More accurate experimental data and inclusion of the non-linear elasticity effects are essential in determining whether or not the observed precursor decay in the bulk of the specimen can be explained by the motion of dislocations present initially. Calculations of energy radiated from screw and edge dislocations that start from rest and move thereafter at constant velocity confirm that dislocation drag forces due to continuum elasticity effects are small for dislocation velocities less than, say, 80% of the elastic shear wave speed. At supersonic speeds the continuum drag effects become so large that sustained supersonic motion of dislocations appears unlikely.

Resonant Interaction of a Beam and an Elastic Foundation During the Motion of a Periodic System of Concentrated Loads

The vibrations of a beam on an elastic foundation under the action of a periodic system of moving concentrated forces are analyzed against different spatial periods and different velocity ranges separated by three critical values. It is established that for velocities ranging from zero to the minimum critical value, resonance does not occur and the beam deflection weakly depends on the force velocity. For velocities exceeding the minimum critical value, a dense spectrum of resonant frequencies is observed__________Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 5, pp. 116–123, May 2005.     

Crack propagation in wedged double cantilevered beam specimens

A closed form analytical solution of crack propagation in double cantilevered beam specimens opened at a constant rate has been found. Hamilton's principle for non-conservative systems was applied to describe the crack motion, under the assumption of a Bernoulli-Euler beam. The criterion of crack propagation is a critical bending moment at the crack tip. The calculations of beam motion take into account wave effects in the Bernoulli-Euler theory of elastic beams. The beam shape during the crack motion is found with a similarity transformation and expressed by Fresnel integrals. The boundary conditions satisfied are the fixed ones of zero bending moment and constant beam opening rate at the load end of the specimen and the moving ones of zero deflection and zero slope of the deflected beam at the tip of the moving crack. The fracture represents a moving critical bending moment. The analytical results show that the specific fracture surface energy is a unique function of the ratio of the crack length squared to the time subsequent to loading and this is computed from the recorded time-dependence of the crack length.
