Stagnation-point flow of a viscoelastic fluid towards a stretching surface

An analysis is made of the steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow of an incompressible viscoelastic fluid over a flat deformable surface when the surface is stretched in its own plane with a velocity proportional to the distance from the stagnation-point. It is shown that for a viscoelastic fluid of short memory (obeying Walters’ B′ model), a boundary layer is formed when the stretching velocity of the surface is less than the inviscid free-stream velocity and velocity at a point increases with increase in the elasticity of the fluid. On the other hand, an inverted boundary layer is formed when the surface stretching velocity exceeds the velocity of the free stream and the velocity decreases with increase in the elasticity of the fluid. A novel result of the analysis is that the flow near the stretching surface is that corresponding to an inviscid stagnation-point flow when the surface stretching velocity is equal to the velocity of the free stream. Temperature distribution in the boundary layer is found when the surface is held at constant temperature and surface heat flux is determined. It is found that temperature at a point decreases with increase in the elasticity of the fluid.     

Deformation of an ellipsoidal ferrogel sample in a uniform magnetic field

The elongation of a ferroelastic material sample (whose initial shape is a sphere or an ellipsoid of revolution) under the action of an external magnetic field is studied in an in approximation of small strains. For a sphere, there is a classical estimate obtained under the assumption that elongating in the direction of the field, it becomes a spheroid and the stress and strain fields remain uniform. In the present calculation, it is assumed that the body is an ellipsoid (a sphere in a particular case) only in the absence of an external field; the shape of the sample in the presence of a field is not specified in advance but is found from the condition of balance of surface forces (elastic and magnetic). For the spherical case, the problem is solved exactly: it is shown, that the contour of the deformed body is described by a third-order algebraic equation. The case where the initial configuration is an ellipsoid of revolution is studied numerically. It is shown that in all versions, the refined solution leads to an appreciable increase in the elongation of the sample compared to the classical estimate. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 46, No. 3, pp. 153–164, May–June, 2005.

Momentum and heat transfer in the magnetohydrodynamic stagnation-point flow of a viscoelastic fluid toward a stretching surface

An analysis is made of the steady two-dimensional stagnation-point flow of an incompressible viscoelastic fluid over a flat deformable surface when the surface is stretched in its own plane with a velocity proportional to the distance from the stagnation-point. It is shown that for a viscoelastic conducting fluid of short memory (obeying Walters’ Bʹ model), a boundary layer is formed when the stretching velocity of the surface is less than the inviscid free-stream velocity and velocity at a point increases with increase in the Hartmann number. On the other hand an inverted boundary layer is formed when the surface stretching velocity exceeds the velocity of the free stream and the velocity decreases with increase in the Hartmann number. A novel result of the analysis is that the flow near the stretching surface is that corresponding to an inviscid stagnation-point flow when the surface stretching velocity is equal to the velocity of the free stream. Temperature distribution in the boundary layer is found when the surface is held at constant temperature and surface heat flux is determined. It is found that in the absence of viscous and Ohmic dissipation and strain energy in the flow, temperature at a point decreases with increase in the Hartmann number.     

Steady sliding frictional contact problem for a 2d elastic half-space with a discontinuous friction coefficient and related stress singularities

The steady sliding frictional contact problem between a moving rigid indentor of arbitrary shape and an isotropic homogeneous elastic half-space in plane strain is extensively analysed. The case where the friction coefficient is a step function (with respect to the space variable), that is, where there are jumps in the friction coefficient, is considered. The problem is put under the form of a variational inequality which is proved to always have a solution which, in addition, is unique in some cases. The solutions exhibit different kinds of universal singularities that are explicitly given. In particular, it is shown that the nature of the universal stress singularity at a jump of the friction coefficient is different depending on the sign of the jump.

Hydraulic analysis of free-surface flows with solidification

Summary The paper is concerned with a one-dimensional analysis of plane open-channel flow with continuous solidification. The process is of relevance for recent developments in the casting of steel and other metals. The bottom of the channel consists of a rotating casting roll and a horizontal cooling table, where the solidified material is withdrawn with given velocity. The study is restricted to the region downstream of the top of the casting roll. Surface tension is neglected. In the main part of the analysis inviscid fluid flow is considered since the Reynolds number is very large in the applications. It is found that the steady-state solutions are nonunique in a certain parameter range. In addition to a continuous solution, there are two solutions including hydraulic jumps, with one hydraulic jump being located on the casting roll, the other one on the cooling table. Regarding the stability of the non unique solutions, the evolution of disturbances is investigated numerically as an initial-value problem. It is concluded that the hydraulic jump on the cooling table is unstable, while the other discontinuous solution as well as the continuous solution are stable for sufficiently small disturbances. Which stable solution is attained in the steady state, depends on the history of the process. Friction at the liquid/solid interface is taken into account in the last part of the analysis. A constant friction coefficient is assumed. It is found that the history of the process determines the steady-state solution if, and only if, the friction coefficient is sufficiently small. For larger values of the friction coefficient, the steady-state solution is unique and independent of the history of the transient process. Furthermore, for sufficiently large friction coefficients, stable hydraulic jumps are found, in contrast to the inviscid case, also on the cooling table.

Performance of a flapping foil flow energy harvester in shear flows

Through numerical simulations, we investigate the energy harvesting performance of a heaving/pitching foil in shear flow. With two-dimensional Navier–Stokes simulations, we examined the energy harvesting efficiencies of such a system in linear shear flows and compared the results with those in uniform flows. It is found that in low shear rates, the performance of the system in linear shear flow is slightly higher than that in uniform flow, whereas the energy harvesting efficiency is greatly diminished if the shear rate is sufficiently high (this effect is more pronounced in higher frequencies). This is attributed to the effects of linear shear on the vorticity generation and the synchronization between fluid forcing and foil motion – when a strong shear flow is introduced the lift force induced by the leading edge vortex that is in phase with the heaving motion of the foil is diminished. Furthermore, by studying the instability of the wake behind the foil, we confirm that the optimal performance of the foil in linear shear flows is associated with the same physical mechanism that controls the performance of the foil in uniform flows, i.e. the excitation of the most unstable modes in the wake when the oscillation frequency of the foil is close to the frequencies of these modes.

Interface damage modeled by spring boundary conditions for in-plane elastic waves

In-plane elastic wave propagation in the presence of a damaged interface is investigated. The damage is modeled as a distribution of small cracks and this is transformed into a spring boundary condition. First the scattering by a single interface crack is determined explicitly in the low frequency limit for the case of a plane wave normally incident to the interface. The transmission at an interface with a random distribution of small cracks is then determined and is compared to periodically distributed cracks. The cracked interface is then described by a distributed spring boundary condition. As an illustration the dispersion relation of the first modes in a thick plate with a damaged interface in the middle is given.     

岩土的一种强度准则及其变换应力法

基于岩土摩擦性,假设岩土破坏是由其物理空间内特征面上的应力比决定,提出了等效应力比的概念,即物理空间特征面上的剪应力合力与正应力合力的比值.在二维条件下,等效应力比可表示为σ-τ坐标系下与摩尔圆相切的直线扣除截距正切值;在三维条件下,假设在XYZ空间内存在一三维物理空间平面,此三维空间特征平面的等效应力比为影响材料强度特性的决定性因素,基于上述三维空间特征面建立了强度准则并称之为a准则.SMP准则以及广义Mises准则都是a准则的特例,当二维坐标中的截距为零时,则强度准则退化为SMP(spatially mobilized plane)强度准则,而当正切角为零时,则强度准则退化为广义Mises准则.而当截距与外切角均不为零时,则强度准则为介于上述两者之间的一种强度准则,在偏平面上为介于SMP曲边三角形与广义Mises圆形之间的曲边三角形.在子午面上,采用考虑岩土压剪耦合的屈服准则,破坏准则采用幂函数表达式.在偏平面上提出了基于a准则的形状函数,并采用真三维应力状态表示的破坏强度准则表示在三轴压缩路径下以p,q二维应力变量表达的准则公式,推导得到了基于a准则的变换应力公式,可简单地将一般以p,q为基本变量的二维模型转变为三维应力模型.通过强度以及多种应力路径的测试对比,验证了a准则及基于该准则的变换应力公式的合理性.

Quasi-steady prediction of coupled bending–torsion flutter under rotating stall

A method is presented in this paper to predict cascade flutter under subsonic stalled flow condition in a quasi-steady manner. The ability to predict the occurrence of aeroelastic flutter is highly important from the compressor design point of view. In the present work, the well known Moore–Greitzer compression system model is used to evaluate the flow under rotating stall and the linearized aerodynamic theory of Whitehead is used to estimate the blade loading. The cascade stability is then predicted by solving the structural model, which is posed as a complex eigenvalue problem. The possibility of occurrence of flutter in both bending and torsional modes is considered and the latter is found to be the dominant one, under subsonic stalled flow, for a large range of frequency ratios examined. It is also shown that the design of compressor blades at frequency ratios close to unity may result in rapid initiation of torsional flutter in the presence of stalled flow. A frequency ratio of 0.9 is primarily emphasized for most part of the study as many interesting features are revealed and the results are physically interpreted. Roughly a pitchfork pattern of energy distribution appears to occur between bending mode and torsional mode which ensures that only one flutter mode is possible at any instant in time. A bifurcation from bending flutter to torsional flutter is shown to occur during which the frequency of the two vibrating modes appear to coalesce for a very short period of time.     

风机叶片涂层雨蚀研究

研究了风电叶片在雨水冲击下的失效过程,利用有限元方法建立雨水冲击的数值模型,分析了雨滴的冲击角度、直径、涂层性能等对涂层受力的影响,并对双雨滴及四雨滴耦合模型进行了研究。结果表明:风雨耦合流场中叶片最大载荷在叶尖处,涂层的冲击受力与雨滴冲击角度和雨滴直径的大小呈正相关。低模量涂层能大幅降低涂层受冲击时的拉伸应力,小幅增加其压缩应力。同一平面内的双雨滴耦合时,拉伸应力受影响的范围较大,压缩应力受影响的范围较小。不同高度差下的双雨滴耦合中,随着高度差的增大,材料拉伸和压缩应力都呈现先增后减的趋势,其中压缩应力随高度差的变化幅度明显大于拉伸应力。四雨滴耦合时压缩应力对间距的变化更加敏感。涂层失效的过程主要为:涂层表面拉应力疲劳产生微裂纹;液压渗透引起裂纹扩展,涂层质量减少,表面粗糙度增加;表面小范围破坏后形成的凹面结构促进涂层的失效。     

Synchronization of four coupled van der Pol oscillators

It is possible that self-excited vibrations in turbomachine blades synchronize due to elastic coupling through the shaft. The synchronization of four coupled van der Pol oscillators is presented here as a simplified model. For quasilinear oscillations, a stability condition is derived from an analysis based on linearizing the original equation around an unperturbed limit cycle and transforming it into Hill’s equation. For the nonlinear case, numerical simulations show the existence of two well-defined regions of phase relationships in parameter space in which a multiplicity of periodic attractors is embedded. The size of these regions strongly depends on the values of the oscillator and coupling constants. For the coupling constant below a critical value, there exists a region in which a diversity of phase-shift attractors is present, whereas for values above the critical value an in-phase attractor is predominant. It is observed that the presence of an anti-phase attractor in the subcritical region is associated with sudden changes in the period of the coupled oscillators. The convergence of the coupled system to a particular periodic attractor is explored using several initial conditions. The study is extended to non-identical oscillators, and it is found that there is synchronization even over a wide range of difference among the oscillator constants.
