Axially symmetric temperature stresses in an elastic isotropic cylinder of finite length

We consider an axially symmetric problem of the thermostressed state of a solid cylinder of finite length with a load-free surface. Using the method of superposition, we have constructed the complete analytical solution of this problem, which is reduced to the solution of a system of linear algebraic equations. We have proposed a method for determining the asymptotic behavior of coefficients in these systems, which enables us to develop an efficient algorithm for the calculation of stresses in the cylinder, including regions near its end-face circles. Typical examples are considered.     

Homogeneous solutions of the problem of steady vibrations of a piezoceramic cylinder

Steady vibrations of a hollow piezoceramic cylinder with radial polarization are considered. An analytical and numerical analysis is performed of the homogeneous solutions, and the behaviour of the dispersion curves of the real and complex modes is investigated as a function of the geometrical parameters.     

Temperature stresses in an inhomogeneous cylinder of finite length

An analytic method of determining the temperature stresses in circular cylinders is described. In the solution of the problem, based on a collocation method, together with the finite length of the cylinder its arbitrary inhomogeneity is also taken into account. In a particular case this may be caused by the effect of temperature on the mechanical constants of the material, which is especially typical of polymers at negative temperatures. The results of a calculation of the stresses in a hollow cylinder of finite length with a variable modulus of elasticity are presented as an example.Dzherzhinskii Military Engineering Academy.

Homogeneous solutions of the dirichlet problem for an anisotropic layer

A complete system of homogeneous solutions of the Dirichlet problem for an anisotropic layer is constructed. These solutions represent series containing metaharmonic functions of a complex argument which depends on all three coordinates. The solution obtained can be used when considering boundary-value problems of potential theory for a piecewise-homogeneous layer.     

On generalized formulation of the equilibrium problem of an elastic strip

A “nonenergetic” formulation of the boundary value problems of statics of an elastic strip based on the principle of admissible displacements, is studied. The formulation makes possible, in particular, the study of problems concerning the strips of infinite energy, while retaining the external form of the “energetic” formulation /1–3/, and produces unique solvability of the problem under weaker restrictions imposed on the external loads. Such a formulation is also possible for other problems of the theory of elasticity.     

The Reissner-Sagoci type problem for a non-homogeneous elastic cylinder embedded in an elastic non-homogeneous half-space

The problem considered is that of the torsion of a non-homogeneouselastic cylinder, which is embedded in a non-homogeneous elastichalf-space (matrix) of different rigidity modulus. A rigid discis bonded to the flat surface of the cylinder and torque isapplied to the cylinder through a rigid disc. It is assumedthat there is perfect bonding at the common cylindrical surface.Using integral transformation techniques the solution of theproblem is reduced to dual integral equations. Later on thesolution of the dual integral equations is transformed intothe solution of a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind.Solving the Fredholm integral equation numerically the numericalresults for torque and shear stress inside the cylinder areobtained and displayed graphically to demonstrate the effectof non-homogeneity of the elastic material on the torque andshear stress.     

The method of homogeneous solutions in an axisymmetric problem of statics for a finite cylinder with homogeneous conditions on the ends

Using the property of Papkovich generalized orthogonality of eigenfunctions, we develop a method of satisfying the boundary conditions on the lateral surface of a cylinder. The stresses and displacements in a finite cylinder with homogeneous conditions on the ends are represented in terms of the axial displacement. The solution is constructed as an expansion in a series of eigenfunctions of the corresponding homogeneous boundary-value problem. We find a class of boundary conditions that admits a solution of the problem without reduction to an infinite system of algebraic equations.

This system is solved by the numerically stable discrete-orthogonalization method. Discrete curves for specific problems are given.Translated from Vychislitel'naya i Prikladnaya Matematika, No. 56, pp. 75–78, 1985.     

Equilibrium finite elements for the linear elastic problem

Summary We consider a class of equilibrium finite element methods for elasticity problems. The approximate stresses satisfy the equilibrium equations but the symmetry of the stress tensor is relaxed. Optimal error bounds for the stresses and numerical examples are given.     

Dispersion of elastic waves in the contact-impact problem of a long cylinder

Numerical dispersion of two-dimensional finite elements was studied. The outcome of the dispersion study was verified by the numerical and analytical solutions to the longitudinal impact of two long cylindrical bars. In accordance with the results of the dispersion analysis it was demonstrated that the quadratic elements showed better accuracy than the linear ones.     

Edge resonance in an elastic semi-infinite cylinder

We study the three-dimensional elasticity operator in a semi-infinite circular cylinder subject to free boundary conditions, in the case of zero Poisson ratio. We prove, adapting the method from [15], i.e., by first finding an invariant subspace for the elasticity operator such that the essential spectrum has a strictly positive lower bound and then finding a test function in this space for which the variational quotient takes a value below the bottom of the essential spectrum, that there is an eigenvalue embedded in the continuous spectrum. Physically, an eigenvalue corresponds to a "trapped mode", that is, a harmonic oscillation localized near the edge. This effect, known in mechanics as the "edge resonance" has been extensively studied numerically and experimentally. Our paper extends the mathematical justification of such phenomena provided by [15] to a three-dimensional setting     

Direct solution method for the equilibrium problem for elastic stents

We are interested in numerical methods for approximating vector‐valued functions on a metric graph. As a model problem, we formulate and analyze a numerical method for the solution of the stationary problem for the one‐dimensional elastic stent model. The approximation is built using the mixed finite element method. The discretization matrix is a symmetric saddle‐point matrix, and we discuss sparse direct methods for the fast and robust solution of the associated equilibrium system. The convergence of the numerical method is proven and the error estimate is obtained. Numerical examples confirm the theoretical estimates.     

Numerical solution of an equilibrium problem for an elastic body with a thin delaminated rigid inclusion

Under consideration is a 2D-problem of elasticity theory for a body with a thin rigid inclusion. It is assumed that there is a delamination crack between the rigid inclusion and the elastic matrix. At the crack faces, the boundary conditions are set in the form of inequalities providing mutual nonpenetration of the crack faces. Some numerical method is proposed for solving the problem, based on domain decomposition and the Uzawa algorithm for solving variational inequalities.We give an example of numerical calculation by the finite element method.
