The dynamic stability and nonlinear vibration analysis of stiffened functionally graded cylindrical shells

A theoretical model is developed to study the dynamic stability and nonlinear vibrations of the stiffened functionally graded (FG) cylindrical shell in thermal environment. Von Kármán nonlinear theory, first-order shear deformation theory, smearing stiffener approach and Bolotin method are used to model stiffened FG cylindrical shells. Galerkin method and modal analysis technique is utilized to obtain the discrete nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Based on the static condensation method, a reduction model is presented. The effects of thermal environment, stiffeners number, material characteristics on the dynamic stability, transient responses and primary resonance responses are examined.     

A novel numerical solution strategy for solving nonlinear free and forced vibration problems of cylindrical shells

Nonlinear vibration analysis of circular cylindrical shells has received considerable attention from researchers for many decades. Analytical approaches developed to solve such problem, even not involved simplifying assumptions, are still far from sufficiency, and an efficient numerical scheme capable of solving the problem is worthy of development. The present article aims at devising a novel numerical solution strategy to describe the nonlinear free and forced vibrations of cylindrical shells. For this purpose, the energy functional of the structure is derived based on the first-order shear deformation theory and the von–Kármán geometric nonlinearity. The governing equations are discretized employing the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method and periodic differential operators along axial and circumferential directions, respectively. Then, based on Hamilton's principle and by the use of variational differential quadrature (VDQ) method, the discretized nonlinear governing equations are obtained. Finally, a time periodic discretization is performed and the frequency response of the cylindrical shell with different boundary conditions is determined by applying the pseudo-arc length continuation method. After revealing the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed numerical approach, comprehensive results are presented to study the influences of the model parameters such as thickness-to-radius, length-to-radius ratios and boundary conditions on the nonlinear vibration behavior of the cylindrical shells. The results indicate that variation of fundamental vibrational mode shape significantly affects frequency response curves of cylindrical shells.     

Behavior of different ansätze in the generalized projection operator method

Using the recently reported generalized projection operator method for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we derive the generalized pulse parameters equations for ansätze like hyperbolic secant and raised cosine functions. In general, each choice of the phase factor θ in the projection operator gives a different set of ordinary differential equations. For θ = 0 or θ = π/2, the corresponding projection operator scheme is equivalent to the Lagrangian variation method or the bare approximation of the collective variable theory. We prove that because of the inherent symmetric property between the pulse parameters of a Gaussian ansätz results the same set of pulse parameters equations for any value of the generalized projection operator parameter θ. Finally we prove that after the substitution of the ansätze function, the Lagrange function simplifies to the same functional form irrespective of the ansätze used because of a special property shared by all the anätze chosen in this work.

Formulation and evaluation of a finite element model for the linear analysis of stiffened composite cylindrical panels

A finite element model for linear static and free vibration analysis of composite cylindrical panels with composite stiffeners is presented. The proposed model is based on a cylindrical shell finite element, which uses a first-roder shear deformation theory. The stiffeners are curved beam elements based on Timoshenko and Saint-Venant assumptions for bending and torsion respectively. The two elements are developed in a cylindrical coordinate system and their stiffness matrices result from a hybrid-mixed formulation where the element assumed stress field is such that exact equilibrium equations are satisfied. The elements are free of membrane and shear locking with correct satisfaction of rigid body motions. Several examples dealing with stiffened isotropic and laminated plates and shells with eccentric as well as concentric stiffeners are analyzed showing the validity of the models.     

Analytical solution for cylindrical thin shells with normally intersecting nozzles due to external moments on the ends of shells

The stress analysis based on the theory of a thin shell is carried out for cylindrical shells with normally intersecting nozzles subjected to external moment loads on the ends of shells with a large diameter ratio(ρ ₀ «0. 8). Instead of the Donnell shallow shell equation, the modified Morley equation, which is applicable toρ ₀(R/T)^1/2 »1, is used for the analysis of the shell with cutout. The solution in terms of displacement function for the nozzle with a nonplanar end is based on the Goldenveizer equation. The boundary forces and displacements at the intersection are all transformed from Gaussian coordinates (α, β) on the shell, or Gaussian coordinates (ζ, θ) on the nozzle into three-di-mensional cylindrical coordinates(ρ,θ, z). Their expressions on the intersecting curve are periodic functions ofθ and expanded in Fourier series. Every harmonic of Fourier coefficients of boundary forces and displacements are obtained by numerical quadrature. The results obtained are in agreement with those from the three-dimensional finite element method and experiments.     

Simple regression in view of elliptical models

For the simple linear model Y = θ1 + βx + ? where the error vector follows the elliptically contoured distribution, we consider the unrestricted, restricted, preliminary test and shrinkage estimators for the intercept parameter, θ when it is suspected that the slope parameter β may be β_o. The exact bias and MSE expressions are derived and the mean-square relative efficiency is taken to determine the relative dominance properties of the proposed estimators in comparison. In the continuation, the optimal level of significance of the preliminary test estimator is tabulated and some graphical result are also displayed.     

Thermoelastic vibration and buckling analysis of functionally graded piezoelectric cylindrical shells

This paper presents the report of an investigation into thermoelastic vibration and buckling characteristics of the functionally graded piezoelectric cylindrical, where the functionally graded piezoelectric cylindrical shell is made from a piezoelectric material having gradient change along the thickness, such as piezoelectricity and dielectric coefficient et al. Here, utilizing Hamilton’s principle and the Maxwell equation with a quadratic variation of the electric potential along the thickness direction of the cylindrical shells and the first-order shear deformation theory, and taking into account both the direct piezoelectric effect and the converse piezoelectric effect, the thermoelastic vibration and buckling characteristics of functionally graded piezoelectric cylindrical shells composed of BaTiO₃/PZT − 4, BaTiO₃/PZT − 5A and BaTiO₃/PVDF are, respectively, calculated. The effects of material composition (volume fraction exponent), thermal loading, external voltage applied and shell geometry parameters on the free vibration characteristics are described, and the axial critical load, critical temperature and critical control voltage are obtained.     

Global well‐posedness of 2D nonlinear Boussinesq equations with mixed partial viscosity and thermal diffusivity

In this paper, we discuss with the global well‐posedness of 2D anisotropic nonlinear Boussinesq equations with any two positive viscosities and one positive thermal diffusivity. More precisely, for three kinds of viscous combinations, we obtain the global well‐posedness without any assumption on the solution. For other three difficult cases, under the minimal regularity assumption, we also derive the unique global solution. To the authors' knowledge, our result is new even for the simplified model, that is, F(θ) = θe₂. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Space–time symmetry violation,configuration mixing model and E-infinity theory

We have studied the time reversal symmetry violation on the bases of the configuration mixing model and E-infinity theory. With the use of the Cabibbo angle approximation, we have presented the transformation matrix in terms of the golden ratio (?), and shown that the time reversal symmetry violation is described by the configuration mixing of the unstable and stable manifolds (W^u, W^s). The magnitude of the mixing for the weak interaction field is given by the expression sin² θ_T(theor) ≈ sin⁴ θ_C(theor) ≈ (?)¹² = 3.105 × 10^?3, which is compared to the Kaon decay experiment ～2.3 × 10^?3. We have also discussed the space–time symmetry violation by using the CPT theorem.

On decay and blow-up of the solution for a viscoelastic wave equation with boundary damping and source terms

In this paper we consider the decay and blow-up properties of a viscoelastic wave equation with boundary damping and source terms. We first extend the decay result (for the case of linear damping) obtained by Lu et al. (On a viscoelastic equation with nonlinear boundary damping and source terms: Global existence and decay of the solution, Nonlinear Analysis: Real World Applications 12 (1) (2011), 295-303) to the nonlinear damping case under weaker assumption on the relaxation function g(t). Then, we give an exponential decay result without the relation between g^′(t) and g(t) for the linear damping case, provided that ‖g‖_L¹(0,∞) is small enough. Finally, we establish two blow-up results: one is for certain solutions with nonpositive initial energy as well as positive initial energy for both the linear and nonlinear damping cases, the other is for certain solutions with arbitrarily positive initial energy for the linear damping case.

Approximate solutions of a nonlinear oscillator typified as a mass attached to a stretched elastic wire by the homotopy perturbation method

The homotopy perturbation method is used to solve the nonlinear differential equation that governs the nonlinear oscillations of a system typified as a mass attached to a stretched elastic wire. The restoring force for this oscillator has an irrational term with a parameter λ that characterizes the system (0 ? λ ? 1). For λ = 1 and small values of x, the restoring force does not have a dominant term proportional to x. We find this perturbation method works very well for the whole range of parameters involved, and excellent agreement of the approximate frequencies and periodic solutions with the exact ones has been demonstrated and discussed. Only one iteration leads to high accuracy of the solutions and the maximal relative error for the approximate frequency is less than 2.2% for small and large values of oscillation amplitude. This error corresponds to λ = 1, while for λ < 1 the relative error is much lower. For example, its value is as low as 0.062% for λ = 0.5.
