Magnetothermoelastic stress and perturbation of magnetic field vector in a functionally graded hollow sphere

In this article, a closed-form solution for one-dimensional magnetothermoelastic problem in a functionally graded material (FGM) hollow sphere placed in uniform magnetic and temperature fields subjected to an internal pressure is obtained using the infinitesimal theory of magnetothermoelasticity. Hyper-geometric functions are employed to solve the governing equation. The material properties through the graded direction are assumed to be nonlinear with an exponential distribution. The nonhomogeneity of the material in the radial direction is assumed to be exponential. The temperature, displacement and stress fields and the perturbation of magnetic field vector are determined and compared with those of the homogeneous case. Hence, the effect of inhomogeneity on the stresses and the perturbation of magnetic field vector distribution are demonstrated. The results of this study are applicable for designing optimum FGM hollow spheres.     

Magnetothermodynamic stress and perturbation of magnetic field vector in a non-homogeneous thermoelastic cylinder

This paper presents a theoretical method for analyzing magnetothermoelastic responses and perturbation of the magnetic field vector in a conducting non-homogeneous thermoelastic cylinder subjected to thermal shock. By making use of finite Hankle integral transforms the analytical expressions for magnetothermodynamic stress and perturbation response of an axial magnetic field vector in the non-homogeneous cylinder are obtained. From sample numerical calculations both magnetothermostress and perturbation of the axial magnetic field vector in a non-homogeneous cylinder is revealed and discussed.     

Exact solutions for functionally graded pressure vessels in a uniform magnetic field

Analytical studies for magnetoelastic behavior of functionally graded material (FGM) cylindrical and spherical vessels placed in a uniform magnetic field, subjected to internal pressure are presented. Exact solutions for displacement, stress and perturbation of magnetic field vector in FGM cylindrical and spherical vessels are determined by using the infinitesimal theory of magnetoelasticity. The material stiffness and magnetic permeability obeying a simple power law are assumed to vary through the wall thickness and Poisson’s ratio is assumed constant. Stresses and perturbation of magnetic field vector distributions depending on an inhomogeneous constant are compared with those of the homogeneous case and presented in the form of graphs. The inhomogeneous constant, which includes continuously varying volume fraction of the constituents, is empirically determined. The values used in this study are arbitrary chosen to demonstrate the effect of inhomogeneity on stresses and perturbation of magnetic field vector distributions.

Thermo-magnetic analysis of thick-walled spherical pressure vessels made of functionally graded materials

This study presents an analytical solution of thermal and mechanical displacements, strains, and stresses for a thick-walled rotating spherical pressure vessel made of functionally graded materials(FGMs). The pressure vessel is subject to axisymmetric mechanical and thermal loadings within a uniform magnetic field. The material properties of the FGM are considered as the power-law distribution along the thickness. Navier's equation, which is a second-order ordinary differential equation, is derived from the mechanical equilibrium equation with the consideration of the thermal stresses and the Lorentz force resulting from the magnetic field. The distributions of the displacement,strains, and stresses are determined by the exact solution to Navier's equation. Numerical results clarify the influence of the thermal loading, magnetic field, non-homogeneity constant, internal pressure, and angular velocity on the magneto-thermo-elastic response of the functionally graded spherical vessel. It is observed that these parameters have remarkable effects on the distributions of radial displacement, radial and circumferential strains, and radial and circumferential stresses.     

Revisiting the elastic solution for an inner-pressured functionally graded thick-walled tube within a uniform magnetic field

In this paper, the mechanical responses of a thick-walled functionally graded hollow cylinder subject to a uniform magnetic field and inner-pressurized loads are studied. Rather than directly assume the material constants as some specific function forms displayed in pre-studies, we firstly give the volume fractions of different constituents of the functionally graded material (FGM) cylinder and then determine the expressions of the material constants. With the use of the Voigt method, the corresponding analytical solutions of displacements in the radial direction, the strain and stress components, and the perturbation magnetic field vector are derived. In the numerical part, the effects of the volume fraction on the displacement, strain and stress components, and the magnetic perturbation field vector are investigated. Moreover, by some appropriate choices of the material constants, we find that the obtained results in this paper can reduce to some special cases given in the previous studies.     

Exact Electromagnetothermoelastic Solution for a Transversely Isotropic Piezoelectric Hollow Sphere Subjected to Arbitrary Thermal Shock

This paper presents analytical study for electromagnetothermoelastic transient behavior of a transversely isotropic hollow sphere, placed in a uniform magnetic field, subjected to arbitrary thermal shock. Exact solutions for the transient responses of stresses, perturbation of magnetic field vector, electric displacement and electric potential in the transversely isotropic piezoelectric hollow sphere are obtained by means of the Hankel transform, the Laplace transform and their inverse transforms. An interpolation method is used to solve the Volterra integral equation of the second kind caused by interactions among electric, magnetic, thermal and elastic fields. From the sample numerical calculations, it is seen that the present method is suitable for the transversely isotropic hollow sphere, placed in a uniform magnetic field, subjected to arbitrary thermal shock. Finally, the result can be used as a reference to solve other transient coupling problems of electromagnetothermoelasticity.

Thus, the exact expressions for the transient responses of displacement, stresses, electric displacement, electric potential and perturbation of the magnetic field vector in the piezoelectric hollow cylinder are obtained by means of Hankel transforms, Laplace transforms, and inverse Laplace transforms. From sample numerical calculations, it is seen that the present method is suitable for a piezoelectric hollow cylinder subjected to arbitrary thermal shock, mechanical load and transient electric excitation, and the result carried out may be used as a reference to solve other transient coupled problems of magneto–thermo–electro–elasticity.     

Electromagnetoelastic behaviors of functionally graded piezoelectric

Analytical studies on electromagnetoelastic behaviors are presented for the functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) solid cylinder and sphere placed in a uniform magnetic field and subjected to the external pressure and electric loading. When the mechanical, electric and magnetic properties of the material obey an identical power law in the radial direction, the exact displacements, stresses, electric potentials and perturbations of magnetic field vector in the FGPM solid cylinder and sphere are obtained by using the infinitesimal theory of electromagnetoelasticity.

A highly sensitive noncontacting electromagnetic device for detecting dynamic stress in structures

A highly sensitive, noncontacting electromagnetic device has been developed to detect stress waves in structures. It is shown that for detecting an induced strain this device is over 500 times more sensitive than conventional bonded strain gages. The principle of detecting the strain by this device is based on the fact that dynamic stresses in a structure induce similar stresses in a bonded piezoelectric material. This, in turn, creates a magnetic field which extends beyond the material itself. An electromagnetic device has been built to detect this magnetic field and thus monitor the dynamic stresses. This method provides a noncontacting means of measuring strain in structures with improved sensitivity.     

Mechanical realization of the medium imitating electromagnetic fields and particles

A turbulent fluid exhibits elastic properties. Turbulence may generate in the medium a body force. Small perturbations of averaged ideal turbulence reproduce the electromagnetic field. The averaged fluid velocity corresponds to the magnetic vector-potential, the perturbation of the averaged pressure to the scalar potential, and the body force due to nonuniformity of Reynolds stresses corresponds to the electric field. Discontinuities of the medium model particles and electric charges. A vapor bubble can be taken as a model of the neutron. Under the action of turbulent fluctuations the bubble turns into the inhomogeneity of the elastic medium. The region of rarefaction of the medium thus formed produces in the turbulent fluid the field of positive perturbation of the turbulence energy. This medium defect may serve as a model of the proton. In order to maintain the energy balance the respective field of negative perturbation of the turbulence energy should be formed. This field can be viewed as generated by an isle of quiescent fluid. The latter singularity models the electron. Electromagnetic interactions may be concerned with the entrainment of the pressure center in the turbulent aether. The magnetic force is due to the entrainment by the fluid stream, and the electric force is due to the entrainment by the turbulence.
