A new kind of mixed elements for shells of revolution subjected to arbitrary loads

In this paper a generalized variational principle with two-field variables is derived from the Reissner principle of elasticity in the curvilinear coordinates of a revolution shell, based on which, a new kind of mixed elements with independent transverse rotations is formulated for revolution shells subjected to harmonic external loads. The resultant-stress interpolations are carefully selected so that the shear part of the element stiffness contains the Kirchhoff hypothesis for thin shells and element stiffness matrices have correct ranks. The elements are free from shear locking and spurious kinematic modes. Numerical examples show that the new elements have good generality and high accuracy for thin and moderately-thick revolution shells.

Determining the stress state of flexible orthotropic shells of revolution in magnetic field

A two-dimensional nonlinear magnetoelastic model of a current-carrying orthotropic shell of revolution is constructed taking into account finite orthotropic conductivity, permeability, and permittivity. It is assumed that the principal axes of orthotropy are aligned with the coordinate axes and that the orthotropic body is magnetically and electrically linear. The coupled nonlinear differential equations derived describe the stress-strain state of flexible current-carrying orthotropic shells of revolution that have an arbitrarily shaped meridian and orthotropic conductivity and are in nonstationary mechanical and electromagnetic fields. A method to solve this class of problems is proposed Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 44, No. 8, pp. 64–76, August 2008.

Forced vibration and special effects of revolution shells in turning point range

The forced vibration in the turning point frequency range of a truncated revolution shell subject to a membrane drive or a bending drive at its small end or large end is studied by applying the uniformly valid solutions obtained in a previous paper. The vibration shows a strong coupling between the membrane and bending solutions: either the membrane drive or the bending drive causes motions of both the membrane type and bending type.Three interesting effects characteristic of the forced vibration emerge from the coupling nature:the non-bending effect,the inner-quiescent effect and the inner-membrane-motion-and-outer-bending-motion effect.These effects may have potential applications in engineering.     

A new boundary integral equation for plane harmonic functions

In this paper, we propose a new boundary integral equation for plane harmonic functions. As a new approach, the equation is derived from the conservation integrals. Every variable in the integral equation has direct engineering interest. When this integral equation is applied to the Dirichlet problem, one will get an integral equation of the second kind, so that the algebraic equation system in the boundary element method has diagonal dominance. Finally, this equation is applied to elastic torsion problems of cylinders of different sections, and satisfactary numerical results are obtained.

Necessary and sufficient condition for the correct formulation of boundary integral equations of harmonic functions

A necessary and sufficient condition for the correct formulation of boundary integral equations of harmonic functions is established in the present paper. A super-determined problem of harmonic functions is proposed for the first time. Then a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of solution of the super-determined problem is proved. At the same time, it is a necessary and sufficient condition for the correct formulation of boundary integral equations with direct unknown quantities. A relation between boundary integral equations and variational principles is discovered for the first time. And a one-to-one correspondence between boundary integral equations with direct and indirect unknown quantities is indicated. The concept and route of the present paper can be applied to other boundary value problems possessing variational principles.

New numerical method for volterra integral equation of the second kind in piezoelastic dynamic problems

The elastodynamic problems of piezoelectric hollow cylinders and spheres under radial deformation can be transformed into a second kind Volterra integral equation about a function with respect to time, which greatly simplifies the solving procedure for such elastodynamic problems. Meanwhile, it becomes very important to find a way to solve the second kind Volterra integral equation effectively and quickly. By using an interpolation function to approximate the unknown function, two new recursive formulae were derived, based on which numerical solution can be obtained step by step. The present method can provide accurate numerical results efficiently. It is also very stable for long time calculating.
