Vibrations and stability of a periodically supported rectangular plate immersed in axial flow

Vibrations and stability of a thin rectangular plate, infinitely long and wide, periodically supported in both directions (so that it is composed by an infinite number of supported rectangular plates with slope continuity at the edges) and immersed in axial liquid flow on its upper side is studied theoretically. The flow is bounded by a rigid wall and the model is based on potential flow theory. The Galerkin method is applied to determine the expression of the flow perturbation potential. Then the Rayleigh–Ritz method is used to discretize the system. The stability of the coupled system is analyzed by solving the eigenvalue problem as a function of the flow velocity; divergence instability is detected. The convergence analysis is presented to determine the accuracy of the computed eigenfrequencies and stability limits. Finally, the effects of the plate aspect ratio and of the channel height ratio on the critical velocity giving divergence instability and vibration frequencies are investigated.     

Unsteady natural convection Couette flow of heat generating/absorbing fluid between vertical parallel plates filled with porous material

The extended Brinkman Darcy model for momentum equations and an energy equation is used to calculate the unsteady natural convection Couette flow of a viscous incompressible heat generating/absorbing fluid in a vertical channel(formed by two infinite vertical and parallel plates) filled with the fluid-saturated porous medium.The flow is triggered by the asymmetric heating and the accelerated motion of one of the bounding plates.The governing equations are simplified by the reasonable dimensionless parameters and solved analytically by the Laplace transform techniques to obtain the closed form solutions of the velocity and temperature profiles.Then,the skin friction and the rate of heat transfer are consequently derived.It is noticed that,at different sections within the vertical channel,the fluid flow and the temperature profiles increase with time,which are both higher near the moving plate.In particular,increasing the gap between the plates increases the velocity and the temperature of the fluid,however,reduces the skin friction and the rate of heat transfer.     

Effect of air gap and order of plates on ballistic resistance of two layered armor

The high velocity normal impact of a three-dimensional rigid conical impactor penetrating into a two-layered ductile armor with an air gap is studied using a simplified model for an impactor–armor interaction. The goal of the study is to investigate analytically the dependence of the ballistic resistance of the armor on the order of the plates in the armor and on the width of an air gap between the plates. It is found that the ratio between the values of a single parameter depending on the material properties of the plates determines this dependence in both cases. This parameter characterizes the properties of the material of the plate; for the most widely used models of impactor–armor interaction, it is the ratio of the distortion pressure to the density of the plate.     

Static instability analysis for travelling membranes and plates interacting with axially moving ideal fluid

The out-of-plane instability of a moving plate, travelling between two rollers with constant velocity, is studied, taking into account the mutual interaction between the buckled plate and the surrounding, axially flowing ideal fluid. Transverse displacement of the buckled plate (assumed cylindrical) is described by an integro-differential equation that includes the centrifugal force, the aerodynamic reaction of the external medium, the vertical projection of membrane tension, and the bending force. The aerodynamic reaction is found analytically as a functional of the displacement. To find the critical divergence velocity of the moving plate and its corresponding buckling mode, an eigenvalue problem and variational principle are derived. Plate divergence, both within a vacuum and when submerged in an external medium, is investigated with the application of analytical and numerical techniques.     

Hydroelastic interaction between water waves and thin elastic plate floating on three-layer fluid

The wave-induced hydroelastic responses of a thin elastic plate floating on a three-layer fluid, under the assumption of linear potential flow, are investigated for two-dimensional cases. The effect of the lateral stretching or compressive stress is taken into account for plates of either semi-infinite or finite length. An explicit expression for the dispersion relation of the flexural-gravity wave in a three-layer fluid is analytically deduced. The equations for the velocity potential and the wave elevations are solved with the method of matched eigenfunction expansions. To simplify the calculation on the unknown expansion coefficients, a new inner product with orthogonality is proposed for the three-layer fluid, in which the vertical eigenfunctions in the open-water region are involved. The accuracy of the numerical results is checked with an energy conservation equation, representing the energy flux relation among three incident wave modes and the elastic plate. The effects of the lateral stresses on the hydroelastic responses are discussed in detail.

A non-classical Kirchhoff plate model incorporating microstructure,surface energy and foundation effects

A new non-classical Kirchhoff plate model is developed using a modified couple stress theory, a surface elasticity theory and a two-parameter elastic foundation model. A variational formulation based on Hamilton’s principle is employed, which leads to the simultaneous determination of the equations of motion and the complete boundary conditions and provides a unified treatment of the microstructure, surface energy and foundation effects. The new plate model contains a material length scale parameter to account for the microstructure effect, three surface elastic constants to describe the surface energy effect, and two foundation moduli to represent the foundation effect. The current non-classical plate model reduces to its classical elasticity-based counterpart when the microstructure, surface energy and foundation effects are all suppressed. In addition, the newly developed plate model includes the models considering the microstructure dependence or the surface energy effect or the foundation influence alone as special cases and recovers the Bernoulli–Euler beam model incorporating the microstructure, surface energy and foundation effects. To illustrate the new model, the static bending and free vibration problems of a simply supported rectangular plate are analytically solved by directly applying the general formulas derived. For the static bending problem, the numerical results reveal that the deflection of the simply supported plate with or without the elastic foundation predicted by the current model is smaller than that predicted by the classical model. Also, it is observed that the difference in the deflection predicted by the new and classical plate models is very large when the plate thickness is sufficiently small, but it is diminishing with the increase of the plate thickness. For the free vibration problem, it is found that the natural frequency predicted by the new plate model with or without the elastic foundation is higher than that predicted by the classical plate model, and the difference is significant for very thin plates. These predicted trends of the size effect at the micron scale agree with those observed experimentally. In addition, it is shown both analytically and numerically that the presence of the elastic foundation reduces the plate deflection and increases the plate natural frequency, as expected.

Nonlinear flexural waves in fluid–filled elastic channels

Nonlinear waves on liquid sheets between thin infinite elastic plates are studied analytically and numerically. Linear and nonlinear models are used for the elastic plates coupled to the Euler equations for the fluid. One-dimensional time-dependent equations are derived based on a long-wavelength approximation. Inertia of the elastic plates is neglected, so linear perturbations are stable. Symmetric and mixed-mode travelling waves are found with the linear plate model and symmetric travelling waves are found for the nonlinear case. Numerical simulations are employed to study the evolution in time of initial disturbances and to compare the different models used. Nonlinear effects are found to decrease the travelling wave speed compared with linear models. At sufficiently large amplitude of initial disturbances, higher order temporal oscillations induced by nonlinearity can lead to thickness of the liquid sheet approaching zero.     

A membrane model for the response of thin plates to ballistic impact

The axisymmetric response of an infinite plate to an impacting projectile is determined analytically on the hypothesis that, for large deformations, a ductile plate behaves to a good approximation like a membrane under uniform tension. The lowest projectile velocity that results in perforation (the ballistic limit), and the residual velocity after perforation, then are determined on the basis of a critical-strain failure criterion. A figure of merit that depends only on the material properties of the target and characterizes the resistance of the material to impact appears naturally in the analysis. Variations in the ballistic limit with target thickness and projectile dimensions can be determined when this figure of merit is known. The theoretical ballistic limit and residual velocity for a steel cylinder impacting a titanium plate are found to agree with available measured values. Further support for the membrane model and an estimate of its range of validity are obtained by comparing the maximum displacement of an impulsively-loaded, circular membrane with experimental data for circular plates.     

基于分形导数对非牛顿流体层流的数值研究

非牛顿流体具有复杂的流变特性,揭示该流变特性可以更加合理地指导非牛顿流体在工农业生产中的应用.经典的非牛顿流体本构模型往往形式复杂,仅能应用于某些特定的情况.分数阶导数模型具有参数少和形式简单的特点,己成功地应用于描述非牛顿流体的运动.Hausdorff分形导数作为一个备选的建模方法,相比分数阶导数具有更简单的形式以及更高的计算效率.本文基于Hausdorff分形导数改进现有牛顿黏性模型,提出分形黏壶模型.通过研究分形黏壶在常应变率下表观黏度的变化情况,以及在加、卸载条件下的蠕变及恢复特性,发现分形黏壶模型适合于描述具有黏弹性的非牛顿流体(本文称之为分形流体).结合连续性方程及运动微分方程,推导出分形流体在平行板间层流的基本方程.按是否拖动上板和是否存在水平的压力梯度分为3种工况,分别用数值方法计算这3种工况下流速在板间的分布及其随时间变化的情况.通过分析不同工况下的流速分布,发现水平的压力梯度会改变流速随时间变化的形状,且会推迟流速到达稳定的时间.在水平压力梯度不存在的情况下,不同阶数的分形流体具有相同的流速分布或是演变过程.另外,在水平压力梯度存在的情况下,上板速度不影响不同阶数分形流体间稳定速度的差值.

Thermoelastic buckling behavior of thick functionally graded rectangular plates

Thermoelastic buckling behavior of thick rectangular plate made of functionally graded materials is investigated in this article. The material properties of the plate are assumed to vary continuously through the thickness of the plate according to a power-law distribution. Three types of thermal loading as uniform temperature raise, nonlinear and linear temperature distribution through the thickness of plate are considered. The coupled governing stability equations are derived based on the Reddy’s higher-order shear deformation plate theory using the energy method. The resulted stability equations are decoupled and solved analytically for the functionally graded rectangular plates with two opposite edges simply supported subjected to different types of thermal loading. A comparison of the present results with those available in the literature is carried out to establish the accuracy of the presented analytical method. The influences of power of functionally graded material, plate thickness, aspect ratio, thermal loading conditions and boundary conditions on the critical buckling temperature of aluminum/alumina functionally graded rectangular plates are investigated and discussed in detail. The critical buckling temperatures of thick functionally graded rectangular plates with various boundary conditions are reported for the first time and can be served as benchmark results for researchers to validate their numerical and analytical methods in the future.     

Wave interaction with multiple articulated floating elastic plates

Flexural gravity wave scattering by multiple articulated floating elastic plates is investigated in the three cases for water of finite depth, infinite depth and shallow water approximation under the assumptions of two-dimensional linearized theory of water waves. The elastic plates are joined through connectors, which act as articulated joints. In the case when two semi-infinite plates are connected through a single articulation, using the symmetric characteristic of the plate geometry and the expansion formulae for wave-structure interaction problem, the velocity potentials are obtained in closed forms in the case of finite and infinite water depths. On the other hand, in the case of shallow water approximation, the continuity of energy and mass flux are used to obtain a system of equations for the determination of the full velocity potentials for wave scattering by multiple articulations. Further, using the results for single articulation and assuming that the articulated joints are wide apart, the wide-spacing approximation method is used to obtain the reflection coefficient for wave scattering due to multiple articulated floating elastic plates. The effects of the stiffness of the connectors, length of the elastic plates and water depth on the propagation of flexural gravity waves are investigated by analysing the reflection coefficient.     

Active vibration control of thin constrained composite damping plates with double piezoelectric layers

Vibrations and the damping behaviour of thin constrained composite plates with double piezoelectric layers are analytically explored by using Fourier transformation and classical laminated plate theory. Electric potential equations in the double piezoelectric layers are solved with respect to closed and open circuit boundary conditions, an exterior dielectric slab and active control. The natural frequencies and loss factors of the constrained smart composite plates with passive control methods are not notably changed in comparison with those of the constrained composite plates without piezoelectric effects since vibrational energy does not efficiently convert to electrical energy. The loss factors of the composite plates with active constrained damping increase and the natural frequencies have significant variations as the proportional derivative gains increase. Transverse displacement power spectra of the piezoelectric composite plates with active control are compared with those of the piezoelectric composite plates with passive control showing that active control has the best suppression performance of vibrations for the constrained laminated plates with double piezoelectric layers. Radial power spectral density, phase angles and cylindrical-wave power spectral density are calculated. Interesting patterns of wave propagation are explained when plane wave expansion is used to obtain Bessel cylindrical waves.     

Viscous dissipation with fluid inertia in oscillatory shear flow

For liquids with high viscosity and low thermal conductivity, viscous dissipation can cause appreciable errors in rheological property measurements. Here, the influences of both viscous dissipation and fluid inertia on the property measurements in oscillatory sliding plate rheometry are investigated. For Newtonian fluids, Bird (1965) solved the combined problem analytically, but only for high frequencies. Here his solution is extended to any frequencies. Also, the equations of motion and energy are solved for linear viscoelastic fluids, and new analytical solutions for the velocity and temperature profiles are given. In both Newtonian and linear viscoelastic fluids, the temperature rise in the gap increases with frequency. The location of the maximum temperature shifts from the mid-plane at low frequency towards the moving wall at high frequency. The fluid inertia increases the viscous dissipation in both fluids. By solving the combined problem, this paper simplifies rheometer design by providing one unified criterion for avoiding measurement errors. Operating limits are presented graphically for minimizing the effects of both fluid inertia and viscous dissipation in oscillatory sliding plate rheometry.     

Non-linear vibrations of imperfect free-edge circular plates and shells

Large-amplitude, geometrically non-linear vibrations of free-edge circular plates with geometric imperfections are addressed in this work. The dynamic analog of the von Kármán equations for thin plates, with a stress-free initial deflection, is used to derive the imperfect plate equations of motion. An expansion onto the eigenmode basis of the perfect plate allows discretization of the equations of motion. The associated non-linear coupling coefficients for the imperfect plate with an arbitrary shape are analytically expressed as functions of the cubic coefficients of a perfect plate. The convergence of the numerical solutions are systematically addressed by comparisons with other models obtained for specific imperfections, showing that the method is accurate to handle shallow shells, which can be viewed as imperfect plate. Finally, comparisons with a real shell are shown, showing good agreement on eigenfrequencies and mode shapes. Frequency-response curves in the non-linear range are compared in a very peculiar regime displayed by the shell with a 1:1:2 internal resonance. An important improvement is obtained compared to a perfect spherical shell model, however some discrepancies subsist and are discussed.     

Configuration Design Sensitivity Analysis of Nonlinear Structural Systems with Elastic Material*

ABSTRACT

A continuum-based design sensitivity analysis (DSA) method is presented for configuration design of nonlinear structural systems using Mindlin plate and Tim-oshenko beam theories. Both displacement and critical load performance measures are considered. Configuration design variables are characterized by shape and orientation changes of structural components. The material derivative that is used to develop the continuum-based shape DSA method is extended to account for effects of configuration design variation. The piecewise linear design velocity field, i.e., C⁰-regular, is used to support configuration design changes for a broad class of built-up structures with beams and plates. To allow use of the C⁰-design velocity field, mathematical models of beam and plate bending must be second-order partial differential equations, so that only first-order derivatives appear in the integrand of the energy equation and, thus, in the integrand of the configuration design sensitivity expression. Since the Mindlin plate and Timoshenko beam theories use displacement and rotation to describe structural response, mathematical models of beam and plate bending are reduced to second-order partial differential equations. The isoparametric finite element formulations are used for numerical evaluation of continuum design sensitivity expressions.
