Modal coupling in the free nonplanar finite motion of an elastic cable

Summary In the finite motions of a suspended elastic cable the in-plane and out-of-plane oscillations are coupled, which is in contrast with what is predicted by the theory of small oscillations. To study the phenomenon of nonlinear coupling, a simple but meaningful two degree-of-freedom model is referred here, one parameter being used to describe the in-plane motion and the other the out-of-plane motion. The solution of the dynamic equilibrium equations is accomplished by an order-three perturbational expansion, which furnishes the time solution of the two displacement parameters. The modification of the free oscillations due to the exchange of energy between the two modes in absence of internal resonance is studied for different initial conditions and the effect of modal coupling is evidenced.

Sommario Nelle oscillazioni di grande ampiezza di un cavo sospeso, il moto nel piano e fuori del piano risulta accoppiato, a differenza di quanto predetto dalla teoria delle piccole oscillazioni. Questo problema viene studiato facendo riferimento ad un modello del cavo, semplice ma significativo, a due soli gradi di libertà, dei quali uno tiene conto del moto pendolare e l'altro del moto nel piano. La soluzione delle equazioni di moto è ottenuta con una tecnica perturbativa fino al terzo ordine, adatta al problema con nonlinearità quadratiche e cubiche. Si studia la modificazione della legge del moto dovuta al trasferimento di energia tra i due modi per differenti condizioni iniziali in assenza di risonanza interna e si valutano gli effetti dell'ac-coppiamento modale nel problema nonlineare.

     

Uniform motion of a plane punch on the boundary of an elastic half-plane

The dynamic contact problem of a plane punch motion on the boundary of an elastic half-plane is considered. The punch velocity is constant and does not exceed the Rayleigh wave velocity. The moving punch deforms the elastic half-plane penetrating into it so that the punch base remains parallel to itself at all times. The contact problem is reduced to solving a two-dimensional integral equation for the contact stresses whose two-dimensional kernel depends on the difference of arguments in each variable. A special approximation to the kernel is used to obtain effective solutions of the integral equation. All basic characteristics of the problem including the force of the punch elastic action on the elastic half-plane and the moment stabilizing the punch in the horizontal position in the process of penetration are obtained. A similar problem was considered in [1] and earlier in the “mode of steady-state motions” in [2, 3] and in other publications.     

Dynamic buckling mode of an elastic bar

The conception of buckling relative initial imperfection is presented in this paper. According to Boulli-Euler beam equation, the dynamic buckling mode of an elastic bar under the homogeneous boundary conditions can be derived by applying the preferred mode analytical method. As an example, the dynamic buckling mode of an elastic bar clamped at both ends is discussed.

Axisymmetric shrink fit problems of the elastic cylinder of finite length

The general case of the axisymmetric shrink fit problems of a solid elastic cylinder whose ends are free from tractions is formulated in terms of the Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. This is accomplished by the use of Papkovich-Fadle eigenfunction and the calculus of residues. Indentation by three types of sleeve is considered; (i) Edge Sleeve, (ii) Symmetrical central Sleeve and, (iii) Two identical edge sleeves. For each case, numerical results of effective resistance and contact pressure are reported for various values of the Poisson's ratio, radius of the cylinder and the sleeve width.

Drei Arten von Manteleinkerbungen werden untersucht: (i) einseitige Endeinkerbung, (ii) symmetrische Zentraleinkerbung, (iii) zweiseitige Endeinkerbung. Für jeden Testfall werden die Zahlenergbnisse des effektiven Winderstandes und des Berührungsdruckes für verschieden Werter der Poisson Ratio, des Zylinderradius und der Mantelkerbweite berichtet.

Global analysis of secondary bifurcation of an elastic bar

In a three dimensional framework of finite deformation configurations, this paper investigates the secondary bifurcation of a uniform, isotropic and linearly elastic bar under compression in a large range of parameters. The governing differential equations and finite dimensional equations of this problem are discussed. It is found that, for a bar with two ends hinged, usually many secondary bifurcation points appear on the primary branches which correspond to the maximum bending stiffness. Results are shown on parameter charts. Secondary modes and branches are also calculated with numerical methods. The project supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China     

Extension of an elastic space with a rigid bar

An asymptotic model for deformation of an elastic space with a rigid thin reinforcing bar is constructed. The elastic modulus of the fiber far exceeds the elastic modulus of the matrix. The shape optimization problem for the reinforcing bar is solved on the basis of the uniform strength condition. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 49, No. 1, pp. 120–128, January–February, 2008.

Axial compression of circular cylindrical bar with coaxial subsurface cylindrical crack of finite length

A fracture stability of a circular cylindrical bar with a coaxial surface cylindrical crack subjected to an axial compression is considered. A state of subcritical initial strain is assumed. A non-classical fracture criterion is based on a local stability loss near the defect. The theory of integral Fourier transforms and series expansions are used to reduce these problems to a system of paired integral equations and then to a system of linear algebraic equations with respect to the contraction parameter.     

Elastoplastic bending of a sandwich bar on an elastic foundation

The elastoplastic bending of a sandwich bar with a stiff compressible core on an elastic foundation is studied. The kinematics of the bar, which is asymmetric across the thickness, is described adopting Bernoulli’s hypotheses for the face layers. The displacements of the core are assumed to vary linearly across the thickness. The foundation is described by the Winkler model. A system of equilibrium equations for displacements is derived and solved. Numerical results for a metal-polymer sandwich bar are presented __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 4, pp. 110–120, April 2007.

Particle motion in a laminar boundary layer on the transverse velocity relaxation length

The properties of the equation of quasi-equiiibrium particle motion in the boundary layer on a flat plate are investigated. In particular, it is shown that in general it has a nonunique solution and that, depending on its initial velocity, the particle may approach the surface of the plate or move in the opposite direction.Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No.1, pp. 86–93, January–February, 1993.     

Second-order solution of Saint-Venant's problem for an elastic bar predeformed in flexure

We use the method of Signorini's expansion to analyze the Saint-Venant problem for an isotropic and homogeneous second-order elastic prismatic bar predeformed by an infinitesimal amount in flexure. The centroid of one end face of the bar is rigidly clamped. The complete solution of the problem is expressed in terms of ten functions. For a general cross-section, explicit expressions for most of these functions are given; the remaining functions are solutions of well-posed plane elliptic problems. However, for a bar of circular cross-section, all of these functions are evaluated and a closed form solution of the 2nd-order problem is given. The solution contains six constants which characterize the second-order flexure, bending, torsion and extension of the bar. It is found that when the total axial force vanishes, the second-order axial deformation is not zero; it represents a generalized Poynting effect. The second-order elasticities affect only the second-order axial force.
