Nonlinear stability of thin elastic circular shallow spherical shell under the action of uniform edge moment

In this paper, nonlinear stability of thin elastic circular shallow spherical shell under the.action of uniform edge moment is considered by the modified iteration method to obtain second and third approximations to decide the upper and lower critical loads. Results are plotted in curves for the engineering use and are compared with results of Hu Hai-chang’s. We also investigate the neighbour situation of the critical point, i.e. the double points of the upper and lower critical loads and denote the range of validity of the second approximation. In the end, we obtain the special case, the design formulas of rigidity and stress as well as the corresponding curves as v=0.3 of large deflection of circular plate under the same load. These results are also compared with Huang Tse-yen’s.     

ON THE CRITICAL POINTS OF THE MAP Fp:X→‖AXB-C‖pp

Suppose A,B and C are the bounded linear operators on a Hilbert space H, when A has a generalized inverse A^- such that (AA^-)^*=AA^- and B has a generalized inverse B^- such that (B^-B)^*=B^-B,the general characteristic forms for the critical points of the map F_p:X^→‖AXB-C‖_p^p(1p=2. Similarly, the same question has been discussed for several operators.     

On near-wall hot-wire measurements

A specially constructed hot-wire probe was used to obtain very near-wall velocity measurements in both a fully developed turbulent channel flow and flat plate boundary layer flow. The near-wall hot-wire probe, having been calibrated in a specially constructed laminar flow calibration rig, was used to measure the mean streamwise velocity profile, distributions of streamwise and spanwise intensities of turbulence and turbulence kinetic energy k in the viscous sublayer and beyond; these distributions compare very favorably with available DNS results obtained for channel flow. While low Reynolds number effects were clearly evident for the channel flow, these effects are much less distinct for the boundary layer flow. By assuming the dissipating range of eddy sizes to be statistically isotropic and the validity of Taylor's hypothesis, the dissipation rate ɛ _iso in the very near-wall viscous sublayer region and beyond was determined for both the channel and boundary layer flows. It was found that if the convective velocity U _c in Taylor's hypothesis was assumed to be equal to the mean velocity Uˉ at the point of measurement, the value of (ɛ⁺ _iso)₁ thus obtained agrees well with that of (ɛ ⁺)_DNS for y ⁺ ≥ 80 for channel flow; this suggests the validity of assuming U _c=Uˉ and local isotropy for large values of y ⁺. However, if U _c was assumed to be 10.6u _τ , the value of (ɛ⁺ _iso)₂ thus obtained was found to compare reasonably well with the distribution of (ɛ⁺ _iso)_DNS for y ⁺≤ 15.

Nonstationary pandom vibpation analysis of linear elastic structures with finite element method

At present, the finite element method is an efficient method for analyzing structural dynamic problems. When the physical quantities such as displacements and stresses are resolved in the spectra and the dynamic matrices are obtained in spectral resolving form, the relative equations cannot be solved by the vibration mode resolving method as usual. For solving such problems, a general method is put forward in this paper. The excitations considered with respect to nonstationary processes are as follows: P(t)={P_i(t)},P_i(t)=a_i(t)P_i(t), a_i(t) is a time function already known. We make Fourier transformation for the discretized equations obtained by finite element method, and by utilizing the behaviour of orthogonal increment of spectral quantities in random process^[1], some formulas of relations about the spectra of excitation and response are derived. The cross power spectral denisty matrices of responses can be found by these formulas, then the structrual safety analysis can be made. When a_i(t)=l (i= 1,2,…n), the. method stated in this paper will be reduced to that which is used in the special case of stationary process.     

Stress analysis of plates with a circular hole reinforced by flange reinforcing member

This paper deals with the problem of stress analysis of plates with a circular hole reinforced by flange reinforcing member. The so called flange reinforcing member here means that the reinforcing member is built up by setting shapes or bars with any section shape on both sides of the plates along the edge of the hole. Two cases of external loads are considered. In one case the external loads are stressesσ_X^(∞),σ_Y^(∞),and τ_XY^(∞) acting at infinite point of the plate, and in the other the external loads are linear distributed normal stresses. The procedure of solving the problems mentioned above consists of three steps. Firstly, the reinforcing member is taken out from the plates and considered to be a circular bar being solved to determine its deformation under the action of radial force q₀(θ) and tangential force t₀(θ) which are forces acting upon each other between reinforcing member and plate. Secondly, the displacements of plate with a circular hole under the action of q₀(θ) and t₀(θ) and external loads are determined. Finally, forces q₀(θ) and t₀(θ) are obtained by the compatibility of deformations between reinforcing member and plate. Then the internal forces and displacements of reinforcing member and plate are deduced from q₀(θ) and t₀(θ) obtained.     

NONLINEAR VIBRATION OF CIRCULAR SANDWICH PLATES UNDER CIRCUMJACENT LOAD

Based on von Karman plate theory, the issue about nonlinear vibration for circular sandwich plates under circumjacent load with the loosely clamped boundary condition was researched. Nonlinear differential eigenvalue equations and boundary conditions of the problem were formulated by variational method and then their exact static solution can be got. The solution was derived by modified iteration method, so the analytic relations between amplitude and nonlinear oscillating frequency for circular sandwich plates were obtained. When circumjacent load makes the lowest natural frequency zero, critical load is obtained.     

BASIC EQUATIONS, THEORY AND PRINCIPLE OF COMPUTATIONAL STOCK MARKET (Ⅲ)-BASIC THEORIES

By basic equations, two basic theories are presented: 1. Theory of stock’s value v^*(t)=v^*(0) exp (ar₂^*t);2. Theory of conservation of stock’s energy. Let stock’s energy Φbe defined as a quadratic function of stock’s price v and its derivative v, Φ=Av²+Bv+Cv²+Dv, under the constraint of basic equation, the problem was reduced to a problem of constrained optimization along optimal path. Using Lagrange multiplier and Euler equation of variation method, it can be proved that Φkeeps conservation for any v,v. The application of these equations and theories on judgement and analysis of tendency of stock market are given, and the judgement is checked to be correct by the recorded tendency of Shenzhen and Shanghai stock markets.

Rheological aspects of dense lignite-water suspensions; time dependence, preshear and solids loading effects

An investigation of the rheological properties of dense lignite-water suspensions is reported here in order to evaluate the parameters that affect the rheology of these suspensions. Different types of particle size distributions were achieved via wet grinding with particle sizes down to 1 μm. Polyelectrolytes and surfactants were used to improve the stability and rheology of suspensions. The achieved solid volume fraction, φ, with acceptable rheological behavior was 0.45, while the ratio of φ/φ _m was close to 0.85; φ _m is the maximum solid volume fraction. Various types of flow tests were performed on lignite-water suspensions with various preshear times and stress levels. Typical shear rates varied in the range between 10^–2 to 10² s^–1. The low shear behavior was found to be quite different from the high shear behavior for the most concentrated suspensions, with a plateau value at low shear rates indicating the appearance of a yield stress. These plateau values, however, depend on shear history, which is responsible for the development of different structures in the sample. The viscosity curves corresponding to the ascending and descending parts of the flow curve were found to be different; these flow curve parts can be described either by well established models or by modified ones. The non-Newtonian time dependent behavior of the lignite-water suspensions is attributed to the high value of the ratio φ/φ _m , the polydispersity of the particle size distribution, and the non-spherical shape of the lignite particles.

THE BÄCKLUND TRANSFORMATION AND NONLINEAR SUPERPOSITION FORMULA OF SOLUTIONS FOR THE LIOUVILLE’S EQUATION IN HIGHER DIMENSIONS

In this paper, we show that Backlund transformation derived by Leibbrandt et al. for the Liouville’s equation in three spatial dimensions, ▽²a=expa, ▽²=-∂_x²+∂_y²+∂_z² can be decomposed into several Backlund transformations for the same equation in two spatial dimensions, moreover, the superposition formula which is derived from this transformation is actually invalid, thus the discussions based on that formula is incorrect as well. We also considered some results about the Liouville’s equation in N spatial dimensions.

FEM analysis on mixed-mode fracture of CSM-GRP

A FEM analysis for studying mixed-mode fracture problem of chopped strand mat glass fibre reinforced polyester laminate is presented. The analysis is formulated on the basis of 8-node quadrilateral isoparametric element. The collapsed triangular quarter-point singular elements were used for calculating stress intensity factors K_Ι and K_Ⅱ.The crack propagation process was computed by implementing constraint release technique. Three different approaches to the solution of stress intensity factors K_Ι and K_Ⅱ were compared. The effect of constraint condition imposed upon the displacement of the three collapsed nodes of the crack tip elements on the K_Ι and K_Ⅱ results was evaluated. The mixed-mode critical stress intensity factors K_ΙC and K_ⅡC were estimated for CSM-GRP through the consideration of K_Ι and K_Ⅱ calculated and the measured failure load and critical crack length in the experiment.     

Studying the stability of equilibrium solutions in a planar circular restricted four-body problem

The Newtonian circular restricted four-body problem is considered. We obtain nonlinear algebraic equations determining equilibrium solutions in the rotating frame and find six possible equilibrium configurations of the system. Studying the stability of equilibrium solutions, we prove that the radial equilibrium solutions are unstable, while the bisector equilibrium solutions are stable in Lyapunov’s sense if the mass parameter satisfies the conditions μ ∈ (0, μ₀, where μ₀ is a sufficiently small number, and μ ≠ μ_j, j = 1, 2, 3. We also prove that, for μ = μ₁ and μ = μ₃, the resonance conditions of the third order and the fourth order, respectively, are satisfied and, for these values of μ, the bisector equilibrium solutions are unstable and stable in Lyapunov’s sense, respectively. All symbolic and numerical calculations are done with the Mathematica computer algebra system. Published in Neliniini Kolyvannya, Vol. 10, No. 1, pp. 66–82, January–March, 2007.
