Analytical solutions of dynamic mode I crack under the conditions of displacement boundary

By the approaches of the theory of complex variable functions, the problems of dynamic mode I crack under the condition of displacement boundary are investigated. For this kind of dynamic crack extension problems with arbitrary index of self-similarity, the universal representations of analytical solutions are facilely deduced by the methods of self-similar functions. Analytical solutions of the stresses, displacements and stress intensity factors are readily acquired using the methods of self-similar functions. The problems studied can be very easily translated into Riemann–Hilbert problems and their closed solutions are gained rather straightforward in terms of this technique. According to corresponding material properties, the mutative rule of stress intensity factor was illustrated very well.

Based on the fundamental solutions for transversely isotropic piezoelectric materials, the fundamental solutions of axisymmetric problems are derived by integration and explicit expressions for three possible cases of different characteristic roots and multiple roots are all presented.

A Theory of General Solutions of Plane Problems in Two-Dimensional Octagonal Quasicrystals

A theory of general solutions of plane problems is developed for the coupled equations in plane elasticity of two-dimensional octagonal quasicrystals. In virtue of the operator method, the general solutions of the antiplane and inplane problems are given constructively with two displacement functions. The introduced displacement functions have to satisfy higher order partial differential equations, and therefore it is difficult to obtain rigorous analytic solutions directly and is not applicable in most cases. In this case, a decomposition and superposition procedure is employed to replace the higher order displacement functions with some lower order displacement functions, and accordingly the general solutions are further simplified in terms of these functions. In consideration of different cases of characteristic roots, the general solution of the antiplane problem involves two cases, and the general solution of the inplane problem takes three cases, but all are in simple forms that are convenient to be applied. Furthermore, it is noted that the general solutions obtained here are complete in x ₃-convex domains.      

Generalized solutions of beams with jump discontinuities on elastic foundations

Summary  The bending solutions of the Euler–Bernoulli and the Timoshenko beams with material and geometric discontinuities are developed in the space of generalized functions. Unlike the classical solutions of discontinuous beams, which are expressed in terms of multiple expressions that are valid in different regions of the beam, the generalized solutions are expressed in terms of a single expression on the entire domain. It is shown that the boundary-value problems describing the bending of beams with jump discontinuities on discontinuous elastic foundations have more compact forms in the space of generalized functions than they do in the space of classical functions. Also, fewer continuity conditions need to be satisfied if the problem is formulated in the space of generalized functions. It is demonstrated that using the theory of distributions (i.e. generalized functions) makes finding analytical solutions for this class of problems more efficient compared to the traditional methods, and, in some cases, the theory of distributions can lead to interesting qualitative results. Examples are presented to show the efficiency of using the theory of generalized functions. Received 6 June 2000; accepted for publication 24 October 2000

The correlative closed solutions are attained based on the Riemann–Hilbert problems. After those analytical solutions were applied by the superposition principle, the solutions of discretional complex problems could be attained.

Solution of three-dimensional problems of elasticity theory using new formulas for harmonic polynomials

Approximate solutions of three-dimensional problems of elasticity theory are sought in the form of linear combinations of vector functions each of which satisfies a differential equation. The linear-combination coefficients are found by energy minimization of the difference between exact and approximate solutions. This can be realized in the first and second basic problems. Simple recursion relations and differentiation formulas for similar harmonic polynomials are obtained. The above-mentioned vector functions are constructed using these formulas and the Trefftz representation. The problem of a truncated pyramid is considered. Odessa University, Ukraine.

On solutions of the problem in stresses with the use of Maxwell stress functions

The spatial problems of elasticity are mainly solved in displacements [1, 2], i.e., the Lamé equations are taken as the initial equations. This is related to the lack of general solutions for the system of basic equations of elasticity expressed in stresses. In this connection, a new variational statement of the problem in stresses was developed in [3, 4]; this statement consists in solving six generalized equations of compatibility for six independent components of the stress tensor, while the three equilibrium equations are transferred to the set of boundary conditions. This method is more convenient for the numerical solution of problems in stresses and has been tested when solving various boundary value problems. In the present paper, analyzing the completeness of the Saint-Venant identities and using the Maxwell stress functions, we obtain a new resolving system of three differential equations of strain compatibility for the three desired stress functions φ, ξ, and ψ. This system is an alternative to the three Lamé equilibrium equations for three desired displacement components u, v, w and is simpler in structure. Moreover, both of these systems of resolving equations can be solved by the new recursive-operator method [5, 6]. In contrast to well-known methods for constructing general solutions of linear differential equations and their systems, the solutions obtained by the recursive-operator method are constructed as operator-power series acting on arbitrary analytic functions of real variables (not necessarily harmonic), and the series coefficients are determined from recursive relations (matrix in the case of systems of equations). The arbitrary functions contained in the general solution can be determined directly either from the boundary conditions (the obtained system of inhomogeneous equations with a right-hand side can also be solved by the recursive-operator method [6]) or by choosing them from various classes of analytic functions (elementary, special); a complete set of particular solutions can be obtained in the same function classes, and the coefficients of linear combinations of particular solutions can be determined by the Trefftz method, the least-squares method, and the collocation method.

Remarks on the solution of extended Stokes' problems

The analytical solutions of first and second Stokes' problems are discussed, for infinite and finite-depth flows of a Newtonian fluid in planar geometries. Problems arising from the motion of the wall as a whole (one-dimensional flows) as well as of only one half of the wall (two-dimensional) are solved and the wall stresses are evaluated.The solutions are written in real form. In many cases, they improve the ones in literature, leading to simpler mathematical forms of velocities and stresses. The numerical computation of the solutions is performed by using recurrence relations and elementary integrals, in order to avoid the evaluation of integrals of rapidly oscillating functions.The main physical features of the solutions are also discussed. In particular, the steady-state solutions of the second Stokes' problems are analyzed by separating their “in phase” and “in quadrature” components, with respect to the wall motion. By using this approach, stagnation points have been found in infinite-depth flows.
