The problem of the small natural vibrations of two coaxially disposed ideal liquids rotating in a cylindrical vessel under conditions of complete weightlessness is considered. The set of normal vibrations of the system consists of internal wave motions and surface waves. Asymptotic formulas are derived for the vibration frequencies of the surface waves. The results of computer calculations are presented in the form of graphs and tables.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 97–104, September–October, 1976.     

Flexural Vibrations of a Piezoelectric Bimorph with a Cut Internal Electrode

Stationary vibrations of a bimorph plate composed of two piezoelectric layers of equal thickness are studied. There is an infinitely thin cut electrode between the layers. A model of flexural vibrations of the bimorph that is based on the variational equation generalizing the Hamilton principle in electroelasticity is proposed. For the plane problem, a system of equations of motion is derived and the boundary conditions and the conjugate conditions at the interface of the regions of the cut electrode are formulated. For the TsTS–19 piezoceramics, resonance and antiresonance frequencies are calculated. The values obtained are compared with the calculation results obtained with the use of the Kirchhoff model and the finite–element method. It is shown that the use of a plate with a cut electrode allows one to increase the efficiency of vibration excitation compared to the case of a continuous internal electrode.     

Combination Internal Resonances in Heated Annular Plates

Nonlinear modal interactions in the forced vibrations of a thermally loaded pre-buckled annular plate with clamped–clamped immovable boundary conditions are investigated. The mechanism responsible for the interaction is a combination internal resonance involving the natural frequencies of the three lowest axisymmetric modes. The in-plane thermal load acting on the plate is assumed to be axisymmetric and the plate is externally excited by a harmonic force. The nonlinear von Kármán plate equations along with the heat conduction equation are combined to model the behavior of the system. An analytical/numerical approach is used to examine the plate vibrations to a harmonic excitation near primary resonance of one of the modes.     

Physical mechanisms of the rogue wave phenomenon

A review of physical mechanisms of the rogue wave phenomenon is given. The data of marine observations as well as laboratory experiments are briefly discussed. They demonstrate that freak waves may appear in deep and shallow waters. Simple statistical analysis of the rogue wave probability based on the assumption of a Gaussian wave field is reproduced. In the context of water wave theories the probabilistic approach shows that numerical simulations of freak waves should be made for very long times on large spatial domains and large number of realizations. As linear models of freak waves the following mechanisms are considered: dispersion enhancement of transient wave groups, geometrical focusing in basins of variable depth, and wave-current interaction. Taking into account nonlinearity of the water waves, these mechanisms remain valid but should be modified. Also, the influence of the nonlinear modulational instability (Benjamin–Feir instability) on the rogue wave occurence is discussed. Specific numerical simulations were performed in the framework of classical nonlinear evolution equations: the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, the Davey–Stewartson system, the Korteweg–de Vries equation, the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation, the Zakharov equation, and the fully nonlinear potential equations. Their results show the main features of the physical mechanisms of rogue wave phenomenon.     

Nonlinear wave effects in a fluid-saturated porous medium

Some one-dimensional nonlinear effects associated with wave propagation in weakly permeable fluid-saturated porous media are investigated. The effect of nonlinearity on the damping of monoharmonic waves is estimated and, moreover, the characteristics of the nonlinear parametric interaction of two waves excited in the medium by two monoharmonic sources of different frequencies are established.Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 74–77, January–February, 1992.     

Nonlinear wave propagation and reflection — Comparing the numerics with the analytics

The accuracy of numerical methods needs always a special attention. In this paper, analytical and numerical methods have been compared to describe the initial stage of nonlinear propagation and reflection of longitudinal ultrasonic waves. The perturbation method has been used to derive the analytical solution and the finite difference scheme to find the numerical solution for multiple free-boundary reflections of a harmonic burst at ultrasonic frequencies. The comparison of results at relatively small nonlinearities reveals a good qualitative and quantitative agreement between the analytical and numerical solutions. The method for determining analytically the exact region of interaction for counter-propagating waves is outlined in detail. At higher frequencies and larger nonlinear effects some quantitative differences between analytical and numerical results appear. The results are applicable in modelling nonlinear wave motion, including NDT and nonlinear one-dimensional vibrations.     

Nonlinear dispersion properties of high-frequency waves in the gradient theory of elasticity

The dispersion law ceases to be linear already at ultrasonic frequencies of elastic vibrations of particles as mechanical perturbation waves propagate through the medium. A variant of the continuum model of an elastic medium is proposed which is based on the assumption of pair and triplet potential interaction between infinitely small particles; this allows one to represent the dispersion law with any required accuracy. The corresponding wave equation, which is still linear, can have an arbitrarily large order of partial derivatives with respect to the coordinates. It is suggested that the results of comparing the representations of the dispersion law from the elasticity and solid-state physics viewpoints should be used to determine nonclassical characteristics of the elastic state of the medium. The theoretical conclusions are illustrated with calculations performed for plane waves propagating through aluminum.     

Nonlinear resonances and wave jumps in media with higher-order dispersion

A new technique for systematically investigating biperiodic (two-wave) steady-state solutions is described with reference to modified Korteweg-de Vries and Schrödinger equations which generalize the conventional model equations for waves on water, in plasmas, and in nonlinear optics [1]. Among these solutions those with ordinary and resonance wave interactions are distinguished. Both singular solutions similar to the solitons of a resonantly interacting wave envelope and solitary waves are found. The soliton-like solutions obtained are used for describing the wave jump structure.Moscow.

Nonlinear dispersion of long internal waves

The propagation of long weakly nonlinear waves in an atmospheric waveguide is considered. A model system of Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equations [1], which describes the propagation of such waves, is derived. In the case of one excited wave mode the system of model equations goes over into the Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation, in which, however, the variables x and t are interchanged. The reasons for this are clarified. In the two-dimensional case an approximate solution of the model equations is constructed, and steady nonlinear waves and their interaction in a collision are considered. The results of a numerical verification of the stability of the approximate steady solutions and of the solution to the problem of decay of the wave into quasisolitons are given.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 151–157, May–June, 1988.     

Weakly nonlinear magnetosonic waves and structure of low-intensity discontinuities in magnetohydrodynamics

Mathematical techniques are proposed which make it possible to reduce the system of magnetohydrodynamic equations for a viscous heat-conducting gas with finite electric conductivity and a general equation of state to the model Burgers equation. On the basis of this equation the structure of weakly nonlinear magnetohydrodynamic shock waves is studied. In particular, the width of the shock wave is estimated.Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No.4, pp. 43–48, May–June, 1993.

The propagation and stability of nonlinear waves in a viscous compressible fluid with relaxation that satisfies a Theological equation of state of Oldroyd type are investigated. An equation that describes the structure of the wave perturbations and its evolution is derived subject to the condition of balance of the nonlinear dissipative and relaxation effects, and its solutions of the solitary wave type are analyzed.Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 31–35, May–June, 1993.     

The Problem of Forced Nonlinear Vibrations of Cylindrical Shells Completely Filled with Liquid

The forced nonlinear vibrations of a thin cylindrical shell completely filled with a liquid are studied. A refined mathematical model is used. The model takes into account the nonlinear terms up to the fifth power of the generalized displacement of the shell. The Bogolyubov’Mitropolsky averaging method is used to plot amplitude’frequency response curves for steady-state vibrations. The steady-state vibrations at the frequency of principal harmonic resonance are analyzed for stability__________Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 2, pp. 52–59, February 2005.     

On nonlinear vibrations of a heavy mass point on a spring

We present a complete study of small nonlinear vibrations of a swinging spring with a nonlinear dependence of the spring tension on its elongation. We use the Hamiltonian normal form method. The Hamiltonian normal form profitably differs from the general normal form of differential equations, because it has an additional integral. To reduce the Hamiltonian to normal form, we use the invariant normalization method, which significantly reduces the computations. The normal form asymptotics are obtained by successively calculating the quadratures in the same way for both resonance and nonresonance cases. The solutions of Hamiltonian equations in normal form showed that the periodic change of vibrations from vertical to horizontal modes and vice versa occurs only in the case of 1:1 and 2:1 resonances. In the case of 2:1 resonance, this effect manifests itself in the quadratic terms of the equation, and in the case of 1:1 resonance, it manifests itself if the cubic terms are taken into account. In all other cases, both in the case of resonance and without any resonance, the vibrations occur at two constant frequencies, which slightly differ from the linear approximation frequencies. In the case of 2:1 resonance, we found the maximum frequency detuning at which the effect of the energy pumping from one vibration mode to another disappears. 1:1 resonance is physically possible only for a spring with a negative cubic additional term in the strain law.     

Nonlinear seismic waves: A model for site effects

The aim of this paper is to propose a possible mathematical model of site effects that occur when seismic waves propagate through a sediment filled basin. The model is based on the mechanical properties of the medium (that we consider as a granular material) through which the seismic waves propagate. By looking for asymptotic solutions having the features of a progressive wave, we derive an evolution equation which is a modified Korteweg–deVries–Burgers equation containing also a nonlinear dissipative term. This equation is integrated numerically and the modelled site amplification is evaluated by using the smoothed spectral ratio between the propagated profile of the wave and the initial one.     

结构中微裂纹与超声波的混频非线性作用数值仿真研究

针对结构中微裂纹检测难题,本文对结构中微裂纹与超声波的混频非线性作用进行了数值仿真研究。基于经典非线性理论,得到了两列超声纵波相互作用产生混频效应的理论条件。通过有限元仿真,研究了两列纵波与微裂纹相互作用产生混频的条件,并分析了界面处静应力、摩擦系数和裂纹方向对混频效应的影响。研究发现,超声波与微裂纹相互作用产生混频非线性效应的发生条件仍符合经典非线性理论下的混频产生条件。裂纹界面处施加的静应力对差频横波幅值有明显影响;当施加静应力与无裂纹模型得到的最大应力值接近时,混频非线性效应最强;裂纹界面的摩擦系数对超声波的混频非线性效应影响较小;透射差频横波传播方向与经典非线性理论预测的理论差频分量方向基本一致,且几乎不受裂纹方向变化的影响,而反射差频横波的传播方向随裂纹方向的改变而有所不同。本文研究工作为微裂纹检出及方向识别做了有益探索。     

Supercritical forced response of coupled motion of a nonlinear transporting beam

Steady-state periodic responses of nonlinear coupled planar motions are investigated for transporting beams in the supercritical transport speed ranges. The straight equilibrium configuration bifurcates into multiple equilibrium positions in the supercritical regime. The finite-difference schemes are developed to calculate the non-trivial static equilibrium and the steady-state response under simply supported or clamped boundary conditions. The forced vibration is assumed to be spatially uniform and temporally simple harmonic. Based on the long time series, the steady-state transversal amplitudes of nonlinear planar motions are recorded with changing load frequencies. A?resonance exists if the external load frequency approaches the fundamental frequency. The effects of material parameters and vibration amplitude on the resonance responses are investigated. The coupled planar model can be reduced to two nonlinear models on transversal vibrations, an integro-partial?Cdifferential equation and a partial?Cdifferential one. Numerical examples are displayed for the pros and cons between the two transversal models. It is also revealed that the increased axial speed converts the hardening-type behavior into the softening-type one.     

浅水区海底管道周围海床渗透压力计算研究

我国海上油田开采起步较晚,大部分油田处于浅水区,因此,在设计管道时,应充分考虑由浅水区波浪引起的管道周围海床渗流力。根据浅水波相关假设,考虑自由水面非线性影响,推导出椭圆余弦波的波面方程,在此基础上进一步得到一个关于速度势的表达式,并根据该表达式得出作用于海床表面的波压公式。考虑海床土的压缩性,推导出一阶近似椭圆余弦波作用下浅水区埋置管道周围海床的渗流压力解析解,最后将计算结果与大型水槽试验及以往研究成果作对比。结果表明,在椭圆余弦波的作用下,由一阶椭圆余弦波理论得到的计算结果与试验结果规律基本一致,与相似工况下的现有理论成果数值基本相同,具有一定的可行性和工程价值。     

Investigation of wave fields in a fluid layer and elastic half-space excited by a near-bottom source of vibrations

Questions of a study of acoustic and seismic wave propagation in the ocean and the underlying medium, associated with problems of marine hydrolocation (sonar) and the investigation of tsunami wave predecessors caused by underwater volcanic eruptions are of great interest at this time. The simplest model, a point source of vibrations located in a fluid layer at a certain range from the bottom, is used to describe the mentioned wave processes. Wave fields in a fluid and elastic base are investigated in this paper, analytical formulas are obtained, and results of a numerical analysis are presented.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 4, pp. 49–51, July–August, 1984.     

Study of the Resonant Vibrations and Dissipative Heating of Thin-Walled Elements Made of a Physically Nonlinear Material

An approximate formulation is given to a dynamic coupled thermomechanical problem for physically nonlinear inelastic thin-walled structural elements within the framework of a geometrically linear theory and the Kirchhoff–Love hypotheses. A simplified model is used to describe the vibrations and dissipative heating of inhomogeneous physically nonlinear bodies under harmonic loading. Nonstationary vibroheating problem is solved. The dissipative function obtained from the solution for steady-state vibrations is used to simulate internal heat sources. For the partial case of forced vibrations of a beam, the amplitude–frequency characteristics of the field quantities are studied within a wide frequency range. The temperature characteristics for the first and second resonance modes are compared.     

Localized Coherent Structures in the Boundary Layer

A Blasius laminar boundary layer and a steady turbulent boundary layer on a flat plate in an incompressible fluid are considered. The spectral characteristics of the Tollmien—Schlichting (TS) and Squire waves are numerically determined in a wide range of Reynolds numbers. Based on the spectral characteristics, relations determining the three–wave resonance of TS waves are studied. It is shown that the three–wave resonance is responsible for the appearance of a continuous low–frequency spectrum in the laminar region of the boundary layer. The spectral characteristics allow one to obtain quantities that enter the equations of dynamics of localized perturbations. By analogy with the laminar boundary layer, the three–wave resonance of TS waves in a turbulent boundary layer is considered.
