Magnetic field and magneto elastic stress in an infinite plate containing an elliptical hole with an edge crack under uniform electric current

Two-dimensional solutions of the electric current, magnetic field and magneto elastic stress are presented for a magnetic material of a thin infinite plate containing an elliptical hole with an edge crack under uniform electric current. Using a rational mapping function, the each solution is obtained as a closed form. The linear constitutive equation is used for the magnetic field and the stress analyses. According to the electro-magneto theory, only Maxwell stress is caused as a body force in a plate which raises a plane stress state for a thin plate and the deformation of the plate thickness. Therefore the magneto elastic stress is analyzed using Maxwell stress. No further assumption of the plane stress state that the plate is thin is made for the stress analysis, though Maxwell stress components are expressed by nonlinear terms. The rigorous boundary condition expressed by Maxwell stress components is completely satisfied without any linear assumptions on the boundary. First, electric current, magnetic field and stress analyses for soft ferromagnetic material are carried out and then those analyses for paramagnetic and diamagnetic materials are carried out. It is stated that the stress components are expressed by the same expressions for those materials and the difference is only the magnitude of the permeability, though the magnetic fields H_x, H_y are different each other in the plates. If the analysis of magnetic field of paramagnetic material is easier than that of soft ferromagnetic material, the stress analysis may be carried out using the magnetic field for paramagnetic material to analyze the stress field, and the results may be applied for a soft ferromagnetic material. It is stated that the stress state for the magnetic field H_x, H_y is the same as the pure shear stress state. Solving the present magneto elastic stress problem, dislocation and rotation terms appear, which makes the present problem complicate. Solutions of the magneto elastic stress are nonlinear for the direction of electric current. Stresses in the direction of the plate thickness are caused and the solution is also obtained. Figures of the magnetic field and stress distribution are shown. Stress intensity factors are also derived and investigated for the crack length and the electric current direction.     

Magneto elastic stress subjected to uniform magnetic field over a thin infinite plate containing an elliptical hole with an edge crack

Two dimensional solutions of the magnetic field and magneto elastic stress are presented for a magnetic material of a thin infinite plate containing an elliptical hole with an edge crack subjected to uniform magnetic field. Using a rational mapping function, each solution is obtained as a closed form. The linear constitutive equation is used for these analyses.

Magneto-elastic stress in a thin infinite plate with an elliptical hole under uniform magnetic field

Two-dimensional magnetic field and magneto-elastic stress solutions are presented for a magnetic material of a thin infinite plate with an elliptical hole under uniform magnetic field. The linear constitutive equation is used for the magnetic field and the stress analyses. The magneto-elastic stress is analyzed using Maxwell stress since only Maxwell stress is caused as a body force according to the electro magneto theory. Except the approximation of the plane stress state in which the plate is thin, no further assumption is made for the stress analysis, though Maxwell stress components are expressed by nonlinear terms. The rigorous boundary condition expressed by Maxwell stress is completely satisfied without any linear assumptions on the boundary. First, magnetic field and stress for soft ferromagnetic material is analyzed and then those for paramagnetic and diamagnetic materials are analyzed. It is stated that the stress components are the same expressions for those materials and the difference is only the magnitude of the permeability, though the magnetic fields are different each other in the plates. If the analysis of magnetic field of paramagnetic materials is easier than that of soft ferromagnetic material, the stress analysis may be carried out using the magnetic field for paramagnetic material. Shear deflection as well as stress in the direction of the plate thickness arises and the solutions are also obtained. Figures of the magnetic field and stress distribution are shown. Stress intensity factors are also derived.     

Subinterface crack in an anisotropic piezoelectric bimaterial

In this paper, the problem of a subinterface crack in an anisotropic piezoelectric bimaterial is analyzed. A system of singular integral equations is formulated for general anisotropic piezoelectric bimaterial with kernel functions expressed in complex form. For commonly used transversely isotropic piezoelectric materials, the kernel functions are given in real forms. By considering special properties of one of the bimaterial, various real kernel functions for half-plane problems with mechanical traction-free or displacement-fixed boundary conditions combined with different electric boundary conditions are obtained. Investigations of half-plane piezoelectric solids show that, particularly for the mechanical traction-free problem, the evaluations of the mechanical stress intensity factors (electric displacement intensity factor) under mechanical loadings (electric displacement loading) for coupled mechanical and electric problems may be evaluated directly by considering the corresponding decoupled elastic (electric) problem irrespective of what electric boundary condition is applied on the boundary. However, for the piezoelectric bimaterial problem, purely elastic bimaterial analysis or purely electric bimaterial analysis is inadequate for the determination of the generalized stress intensity factors. Instead, both elastic and electric properties of the bimaterial’s constants should be simultaneously taken into account for better accuracy of the generalized stress intensity factors.     

Oscillatory Couette flow in the presence of an inclined magnetic field

Oscillatory MHD Couette flow of electrically conducting fluid between two parallel plates in a rotating system in the presence of an inclined magnetic field is considered when the upper plate is held at rest and the lower plate oscillates non-torsionally . An exact solution of the governing equations has been obtained by using Laplace transform technique. Asymptotic behavior of the solution is analyzed for M ² ≪1, K ² ≪1 and ω ≪1 and for large M ², K ² and ω. Numerical results of velocities are depicted graphically and the frictional shearing stresses are presented in tables. It is found that a thin boundary layer is formed near the lower plate, for large values of rotation parameter K ², Hartman number M ² and frequency parameter ω. The thickness of this boundary layer increases with increase in inclination of the magnetic field with the axis of rotation.     

Semi-permeable crack analysis in a 2D magnetoelectroelastic medium based on the EMPS model

For a crack in a magnetoelectroelastic plane under the electrically and magnetically semi-permeable boundary condition, we derive the non-linear analytical solution of the strip electric–magnetic polarization saturation (EMPS) model. Using the extended dislocation theory and integral equation method, we obtain the electric and magnetic yielding zones, as well as the field intensity factor and local J-integral. Adapting an iterative method, numerical examples were performed to analyze the effect of different boundary conditions and the electric–magnetic saturated properties on the electric displacement and magnetic induction in the crack cavity, electric and magnetic yielding zones, stress intensity factor and local J-integral.     

Hydromagnetic free convection flow with induced magnetic field effects

An exact solution is presented for the hydromagnetic natural convection boundary layer flow past an infinite vertical flat plate under the influence of a transverse magnetic field with magnetic induction effects included. The transformed ordinary differential equations are solved exactly, under physically appropriate boundary conditions. Closed-form expressions are obtained for the non-dimensional velocity (u), non-dimensional induced magnetic field component (B _x ) and wall frictional shearing stress i.e. skin friction function (τ _x ) as functions of dimensionless transverse coordinate (η), Grashof free convection number (G _r ) and the Hartmann number (M). The bulk temperature in the boundary layer (Θ) is also evaluated and shown to be purely a function of M. The Rayleigh flow distribution (R) is derived and found to be a function of both Hartmann number (M) and the buoyant diffusivity parameter (ϑ ^*). The influence of Grashof number on velocity, induced magnetic field and wall shear stress profiles is computed. The response of Rayleigh flow distribution to Grashof numbers ranging from 2 to 200 is also discussed as is the influence of Hartmann number on the bulk temperature. Rayleigh flow is demonstrated to become stable with respect to the width of the boundary layer region and intensifies with greater magnetic field i.e. larger Hartman number M, for constant buoyant diffusivity parameter ϑ ^*. The induced magnetic field (B _x ), is elevated in the vicinity of the plate surface with a rise in free convection (buoyancy) parameter G _r , but is reduced over the central zone of the boundary layer regime. Applications of the study include laminar magneto-aerodynamics, materials processing and MHD propulsion thermo-fluid dynamics.     

Dynamic stress intensity factor K III and dynamic crack propagation characteristics of anisotropic materials

Based on the mechanics of anisotropic materials, the dynamic propagation problem of a mode Ⅲ crack in an infinite anisotropic body is investigated. Stress, strain and displacement around the crack tip are expressed as an analytical complex function, which can be represented in power series. Constant coefficients of series are determined by boundary conditions. Expressions of dynamic stress intensity factors for a mode Ⅲ crack are obtained. Components of dynamic stress, dynamic strain and dynamic displacement around the crack tip are derived. Crack propagation characteristics are represented by the mechanical properties of the anisotropic materials, i.e., crack propagation velocity M and the parameter ~. The faster the crack velocity is, the greater the maximums of stress components and dynamic displacement components around the crack tip are. In particular, the parameter α affects stress and dynamic displacement around the crack tip.     

Hydromagnetic flow in a rotating channel

The steady flow in a parallel plate channel rotating with an angular velocity Ω and subjected to a constant transverse magnetic field is analysed. An exact solution of the governing equations is obtained. The solution in the dimensionless form contains two parameters: the Hartmann number, M ², and K ² which is the reciprocal of the Ekman number. The effects of these parameters on the velocity and magnetic field distributions are studied. For large values of the parameters, there arise thin boundary layers on the walls of the channel.     

A new approach on MHD natural convection boundary layer flow past a flat plate of finite dimensions

A new approach on MHD natural convection boundary layer flow from a finite flat plate of arbitrary inclination in a rotating environment, is presented. This problem plays a significant role on boundary layer flow control. It is shown that taking into account the pressure rise region at the leading edge of the plate leads to avoid separation and the back flow is reduced by the strong magnetic field. It is also shown that the frictional drag at the leading edge of the plate is reduced when the inclination angle α=π/4. In the case of isothermal flat plate, the bulk temperature becomes identical for any value of Gr (Grashof number) when the value of M ² (Hartmann number) and K ² (rotation parameter) are kept fixed.

MHD flow and heat transfer for the upper-convected Maxwell fluid over a stretching sheet

In the present work, the effect of MHD flow and heat transfer within a boundary layer flow on an upper-convected Maxwell (UCM) fluid over a stretching sheet is examined. The governing boundary layer equations of motion and heat transfer are non-dimensionalized using suitable similarity variables and the resulting transformed, ordinary differential equations are then solved numerically by shooting technique with fourth order Runge–Kutta method. For a UCM fluid, a thinning of the boundary layer and a drop in wall skin friction coefficient is predicted to occur for higher the elastic number. The objective of the present work is to investigate the effect of Maxwell parameter β, magnetic parameter Mn and Prandtl number Pr on the temperature field above the sheet.     

Pre-kinking of a moving crack in a magnetoelectroelastic material under in-plane loading

A constant moving crack in a magnetoelectroelastic material under in-plane mechanical, electric and magnetic loading is studied for impermeable crack surface boundary conditions. Fourier transform is employed to reduce the mixed boundary value problem of the crack to dual integral equations, which are solved exactly. Steady-state asymptotic fields near the crack tip are obtained in closed form and the corresponding field intensity factors are expressed explicitly. The crack speed influences the singular field distribution around the crack tip and the effects of electric and magnetic loading on the crack tip fields are discussed. The crack kinking phenomena is investigated using the maximum hoop stress intensity factor criterion. The magnitude of the maximum hoop stress intensity factor tends to increase as the crack speed increases.

Phenomenological Modeling of Electrorheological Fluids with an Extended Casson-Model

In this paper we propose a phenomenological theory for electrorheological fluids. In general these are suspensions which undergo dramatic changes in their material properties if they are exposed to an electric field. In the context of continuum mechanics these fluids can be modeled as non-Newtonian fluids. Recalling the governing equations of rational thermodynamics and electrodynamics of moving media (Maxwell-Minkowski-equations), we derive suitable governing equations of electrorheology using essentially two assumptions concerning magnetic quantities. Furthermore we introduce a 3-dimensional nonlinear constitutive equation for the Cauchy stress tensor which is an extension of the model proposed by Ružička (see [14]). Assuming a viscometric flow, we compare the shear stress of our model with other well known models and fit the parameters by using measurements that were obtained in a rotational viscometer. Excellent agreement between model and measurements is achieved. On the basis of these results we propose a 3-dimensional model, the so-called extended Casson -model. This model is investigated further for a channel flow configuration with a homogeneous electric field. We determine analytical solutions for the electric field, the velocity and the volumetric flow rate and illustrate the velocity profiles and the predicted pressure drop. The velocity profiles are flattened compared to parabolic profiles and become more flat if the electric field increases. Received March 21, 2000     

Physical variational principle and thin plate theory in electro-magneto-elastic analysis

Under the assumption of the quasi-static electric and magnetic fields the electro-magneto-elastic analysis including medium and its environment is studied in this paper. The complete governing equations under the finite deformation can be derived from the physical variational principle. In the physical variational principle the variations of the electric potential and magnetic potential are divided into local variations and migratory variations. From the virtual change of the sum of the electromagnetic energy and the couple energy produced by the migratory variation we can get the electromagnetic force and in this case the virtual variation of the volume should be considered. It is also found that the Maxwell stress is directly related to the strain in a material with piezoelectric or piezomagnetic behavior for the finite deformation case. The thin plate theory in first order is derived from the general theory in this paper and the Maxwell stress is naturally included in the governing equations.     

Bending Solutions for Inhomogeneous and Laminated Elastic Plates

A procedure has been developed in previous papers for constructing exact solutions of the equations of linear elasticity in a thick plate 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 thin plate or classical laminate theory equations (which are two-dimensional theories) generates, by straightforward substitutions, a solution of the three-dimensional elasticity equations for the homogeneous material. Recently this theory has been formulated in terms of functions of a complex variable. It was shown that the displacement and stress fields in the inhomogeneous material could be expressed in terms of four complex potentials that are analytic functions of the complex variable ζ = x + iy in the mid-plane of the plate. However, the analysis performed so far applies only to the case of a plate with traction-free upper and lower faces. The present paper extends these solutions to the case where the plate is bent by a pressure distribution applied to a face.     

Dynamic analysis of a penny-shaped dielectric crack in a magnetoelectroelastic solid under impacts

The transient response of a magneto-electro-elastic material with a penny-shaped dielectric crack subjected to in-plane magneto-electro-mechanical impacts is made. To simulate an opening crack with a dielectric interior, the crack-face electromagnetic boundary conditions are supposed to depend on the crack opening displacement and the jumps of electric and magnetic potentials across the crack. Four ideal crack-face electromagnetic boundary conditions involving a combination of electrically permeable or impermeable and magnetically permeable or impermeable assumptions can be reduced. The Laplace and Hankel transform techniques are further utilized to solve the mixed initial-boundary-value problem. Three coupling Fredholm integral equations are obtained and solved by the composite Simpson's rule. Dynamic field intensity factors of stress, electric displacement, magnetic induction, crack opening displacement (COD), electric potential and magnetic potential are given in the Laplace transform domain. By means of a numerical inversion of the Laplace transform, numerical results are calculated to show the variations of the physical parameters of concern versus the normalized time in graphics. The effects of applied electric and magnetic loads on the dynamic intensity factors of stress and COD, and the dynamic energy release rate for a BaTiO₃-CoFe₂O₄ composite with a penny-shaped vacuum crack are discussed in detail.     

Stress analysis for an infinite strip weakned by periodic cracks

Stress analysis for an infinite stripcracks were assumed in a horizontal position,weakened by periodic cracks is studied. The and the strip was applied by tension “p“ in y-direction. The boundary value problem can be reduced into a complex mixed one. It is found that the EEVM ( eigenfunction expansion variational method) is efficient to solve the problem. The stress intensity factor at the crack tip and the T-stress were evaluated. From the deformation response under tension the cracked strip can be equivalent to an orthotropic strip without cracks. The elastic properties in the equivalent orthotropic strip were also investigated. Finally, numerical examples and results were given.
