Compression of an axisymmetric layer on a rigid mandrel in creep

An approximate solution describing the compression of an axisymmetric layer ofmaterial on a rigid mandrel under the equations of the creep theory is constructed. The constitutive equation is introduced so that the equivalent stress tends to a finite value as the equivalent strain rate tends to infinity. Such a constitutive equation leads to a qualitatively different asymptotic behavior of the solution near the mandrel surface, on which the maximum friction law is satisfied, compared with the well-known solution for the creep model based on the power-law relationship between the equivalent stress and the equivalent strain rate. It is shown that the solution existence depends on the value of one of the parameters contained in the constitutive equations. If the solution exists, then the equivalent strain rate tends to infinity as the maximum friction surface is approached, and the qualitative asymptotic behavior of the solution depends on the value of the same parameter. There is a range of variation of this parameter for which the qualitative behavior of the equivalent strain rate near the maximum friction surface coincides with the behavior of the same variable in ideally rigid-plastic solutions.     

Singular Solutions in an Axisymmetric Flow of a Medium Obeying the Double Shear Model

An asymptotic analysis of equations of an axisymmetric flow of a rigid-plastic material obeying the double shear model in the vicinity of surfaces with the maximum friction is performed. It is shown that the solution is singular if the friction surface coincides with the envelope of the family of characteristics. A possible character of the behavior of singular solutions in the vicinity of surfaces with the maximum friction is determined. In particular, the equivalent strain rate in the vicinity of the friction surface tends to infinity in an inverse proportion to the square root from the distance to this surface. Such a behavior of the equivalent strain rate is also observed in the classical theory of plasticity of materials whose yield condition is independent of the mean stress.__________Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 46, No. 5, pp. 180–186, September–October, 2005.     

Strain rate intensity factors for a plastic material layer compressed between cylindrical surfaces

For some models of rigid-plastic bodies, the strain rate fields turn out to be singular near the maximum friction surfaces. In particular, the equivalent strain rate (the second invariant of the strain rate tensor) tends to infinity when approaching such frictions surfaces. The coefficient multiplying the leading singular term in the series expansion of the equivalent strain rate near the maximum friction surfaces is called the strain rate intensity factor. This coefficient occurs in several models predicting the development of intensive plastic deformation layers near friction surfaces and in equations describing the change in the material structure in such layers. In the present paper, the solution is constructed for the compression of a layer of a plastic material obeying the double shear model between cylindrical surfaces on each of which the maximum friction law holds. The dependence of two strain rate intensity factors on the material and process parameters is calculated and analyzed.     

Singular rigid/plastic solutions in anisotropic plasticity under plane strain conditions

Assuming a rigid plastic material model with arbitrary smooth yield criterion, it is shown that the plane strain solutions are singular in the vicinity of maximum friction surfaces. In particular, some components of the strain rate tensor and thus the equivalent strain rate approach infinity. It is also shown that the exact asymptotic representation of the solution near maximum friction surfaces depends on the shape of the yield contour in the Mohr stress plane.     

Strain rate intensity factors for a plastic mass flow between two conical surfaces

The concept of strain rate intensity factor was introduced in [1], where the asymptotic expansion of the velocity field in a perfectly rigid-plastic material was obtained near the maximum friction surface, which is determined by the condition that the specific friction forces on this surface are equal to the simple shear yield strength. In particular, it was shown in this paper that near the maximum friction surface the equivalent strain rate (the second invariant of the strain rate tensor) tends to infinity inversely proportional to the square root of the distance to this surface. We note that the same result was obtained in the case of plane flow in [2]. The strain rate intensity factor is defined to be the coefficient of the leading singular number in the series expansion of the equivalent strain rate near the maximum friction surface. It was shown in [3] that there is a sufficiently complete formal analogy between the strain rate intensity factor and the stress intensity factor in mechanics of cracks [4]. In [5], it was suggested to use the concept of strain rate intensity factor to estimate the thickness of the layer near the friction surface where one should take into account viscosity effects. (Thus, this is an intensive strain layer formed as a result of a very large equivalent strain rate.) Therefore, the problem of calculating the strain rate intensity factor in specific processes is topical in the development of the general concept based on the use of the strain rate intensity factor and its applications in the theory of metal forming processes. These factors have already been calculated for several processes such as plane upsetting and drawing [3]. In the present paper, we calculate the distribution of the strain rate intensity factor in a plastic mass flow through an infinite converging channel formed by two conical surfaces on which the law of maximum friction acts (Fig. 1). A specific characteristic of this problem is the existence of two maximum friction surfaces and, accordingly, two distributions of the strain rate intensity factor. Since, according to the theory [5], the strain rate intensity factor is related to the thickness of the intensive strain layer near the friction surface, the solution of this problem may serve as a starting point for experimental confirmations of the theory. Note that the intensive strain layer thickness can be determined experimentally without any difficulties [6, 7] and the flow in an infinite channel of the shape under study can successfully model the tube drawing process [8].     

Compression of a viscoelastic layer between rough parallel plates

If the maximal friction law is applied, then some generalizations of the Prandtl solution for the compression of a plastic layer between rough plates do not exist. In particular, this pertains to the viscoplastic solutions obtained earlier. In the present paper, we show that these solutions do not exist because of the properties of the model material and introduce a model for which this solution can be constructed. The obtained solution is singular. In particular, the equivalent strain rate tends to infinity as the friction surface is approached, and its asymptotic behavior exactly coincides with that arising in the classical solution. The obtained solution is illustrated by numerical examples, which, in particular, show that an extremely thin boundary layer may arise near the friction surfaces.     

Qualitative properties of plasticity equations for porous media in plane deformation

The instantaneous stress-strain state of a porous rigid-plastic material obeying the cylindrical yield condition and the associated flow rule is considered in the case of plane deformation. It is shown that the type of the system of equations depends on the stress state. In the hyperbolic case, the equations of characteristics and relations along them are derived. An exact solution to the model boundary-value problem with the maximum friction law taken into account is obtained. An asymptotic analysis near the maximum friction surface is performed.     

Morawetz's method for the decay of the solution of the exterior initial-boundary value problem for the linearized equation of dynamic elasticity

In this paper, the behavior of the solution of the time-dependent linearized equation of dynamic elasticity is examined.For the homogeneous problem, it is proved that in the exterior of a star-shaped body on the surface of which the displacement field is zero, the solution decays at the rate t ^-1 as the time t tends to infinity.For the non-homogeneous problem with a harmonic forcing term, it is proved that for large times, the elastic material in the exterior of the body, tends to a harmonic motion, with the period of the external force.The convergence to the steady harmonic state solution is at the rate t ^-1/2 as t tends to infinity, and is uniform on bounded sets.     

A numerical method for determining the strain rate intensity factor under plane strain conditions

Using the classical model of rigid perfectly plastic solids, the strain rate intensity factor has been previously introduced as the coefficient of the leading singular term in a series expansion of the equivalent strain rate in the vicinity of maximum friction surfaces. Since then, many strain rate intensity factors have been determined by means of analytical and semi-analytical solutions. However, no attempt has been made to develop a numerical method for calculating the strain rate intensity factor. This paper presents such a method for planar flow. The method is based on the theory of characteristics. First, the strain rate intensity factor is derived in characteristic coordinates. Then, a standard numerical slip-line technique is supplemented with a procedure to calculate the strain rate intensity factor. The distribution of the strain rate intensity factor along the friction surface in compression of a layer between two parallel plates is determined. A high accuracy of this numerical solution for the strain rate intensity factor is confirmed by comparison with an analytic solution. It is shown that the distribution of the strain rate intensity factor is in general discontinuous.     

Steady penetration of a rigid cone into pressure-dependent plastic material

The objective of the present paper is to find a semi-analytical axisymmetric solution for steady penetration of a rigid cone into pressure-dependent plastic material obeying the double-shearing model. As expected, the solution is singular near the maximum friction surface. It is important to mention that the singularity is not due to the geometry of the problem but the friction law. The type of the singularity is the same as in plane-strain solutions based on the double-shearing model and in classical plasticity. This allows for calculating the strain rate intensity factor. The solution is illustrated by a numerical example.     

Elastostatic crack tip behavior for a rubber-like material

Analyzed in this work is the elastostatic field near a crack tip in a rubber-like material. Asymptotic equations for a crack opened symmetrically about its plane are derived from assumed forms of the strain energy density and constitutive relation that applies to large and finite strain and remains valid even when the strain tends to infinity in the limit. Near field solutions are obtained in regions that decreases and increases in size as the crack tip is approached. Their singular character depends on the constitutive parameters and is evaluated numerically.     

Generalization of the Prandtl solution to the case of axisymmetric deformation of materials obeying the double shear model

A semianalytic solution of the problem on the compression of an annular layer of a plastic material obeying the double shear model on a cylindrical mandrel is obtained. The approximate statement of boundary conditions, which cannot be satisfied exactly in the framework of the constructed solution, is based on the same assumptions as the statement of the classical plasticity problem of compression of a material layer between rough plates (Prandtl’s problem). It is assumed that the maximum friction law is satisfied on the inner surface of the layer. The solution is singular near this surface. The strain rate intensity factor is calculated, and its dependence on the process and material parameters is shown.     

Investigation of the influence of blowing on the flow in a hypersonic viscous shock layer near the stagnation streamline on a blunt body

In the framework of the approximation of local similarity to the Navier-Stokes equations, an investigation is made of the axisymmetric flow of homogeneous gas in a hypersonic shock layer, this including the region of transition through the shock wave. Boundary conditions, which take into account blowing of gas, are specified on the surface of the body and in the undisturbed flow. A numerical solution to the problem is obtained in a wide range of variation of the Reynolds number and the blowing parameter. Expressions are found for the dependences on the blowing parameter usually employed in boundary layer theory of the coefficients of friction and heat transfer on the surface of the body, which are divided by their values obtained for blowing parameter equal to zero. It is shown that these dependences are universal and the same as the dependences obtained from the solution of the equations of a hypersonic viscous shock layer with modified Rankin-Hugoniot relations across the shock wave and from the solution of the boundary layer equations.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 199–202, January–February, 1980.     

Specific features of solving the problem of compression of an orthotropic plastic material between rotating plates

An instantaneous flow with compression of a wedge-shaped layer of a rigid-plastic orthotropic material between rotating plates is considered under the assumption that the principal axes of anisotropy are rays emanating from the wedge angle and lines orthogonal to them and that the maximum friction law is valid on the plate surfaces. The solution is reduced to quadratures, and its asymptotic analysis is performed. It is found that the solution is singular near the friction surface in the general case, and conditions at which the singularity disappears are given. It is demonstrated that a rigid area can arise near the friction surface. The behavior of the resultant solution near the friction surfaces is compared with the behavior of known solutions for other models of rigid-plastic materials.     

Non-axisymmetric Homann stagnation-point flow of Walter's B nanofluid over a cylindrical disk

The study of non-axisymmetric Homann stagnation-point flow of Walter's B nanofluid along with magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) and non-linear Rosseland thermal radiation over a cylindrical disk in the existence of the time-independent free stream is considered. Moreover, the notable impacts of thermophoresis and Brownian motion are analyzed by Buongiorno's model. The momentum, energy, and concentration equations are converted into the dimensionless coupled ordinary differential equations via similarity transformations, which are later numerically solved by altering the values of the pertinent parameters. The numerical and asymptotic solutions for the large shear-to-strain rate ratio γ =a/bfor the parameters of the displacement thicknesses and the wall-shear stress are computed by perturbative expansion and analyzed. Furthermore, the technique bvp4c in MATLAB is deployed as an efficient method to analyze the calculations for the non-dimensional velocities, temperature, displacement thickness, and concentration profiles. It is observed that the two-dimensional displacement thickness parameters α andβ are reduced due to the viscoelasticity and magnetic field effects. Moreover, when the shear-to-strain rate ratio approaches infinity, α is closer to its asymptotic value, while βand the three-dimensional displacement thickness parameter δ_1 show the opposite trend.The outcomes of the viscoelasticity and the magnetic field on the skin friction are also determined. It is concluded that ■ reaches its asymptotic behavior when the shearto-strain rate ratio approaches infinity. Meanwhile, ■ shows different results.     

On a nonlinear isochronous system

A system of second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations is considered. It is shown analytically that the solutions to this system are isochronous, which is not typical for nonlinear systems. It is also shown that a periodic delta function is a limit of the solution if the amplitude tends to infinity.     

Asymptotic properties of solutions of an equation of order <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis> with almost constant coefficients and pulse action

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions of linear differential equations with almost constant coefficients and pulse action at fixed times as t tends to infinity. We establish conditions for the times of pulse action under which there exist values of pulse action for which the solution of the considered Cauchy problem with initial conditions that coincide with the initial conditions for a certain (arbitrary but fixed) solution of the original equation without pulse action is bounded, unbounded, or tending to infinity. __________ Translated from Neliniini Kolyvannya, Vol. 8, No. 4, pp. 444–455, October–December, 2005.     

On the Generation of Discontinuous Shearing Motions of a Non-Newtonian Fluid

The system under study models unsteady, one-dimensional shear flow of a highly elastic and viscous incompressible non-Newtonian fluid with fading memory under isothermal conditions. The flow, in a channel, is driven by a constant pressure gradient, is symmetric about the center line, and satisfies a no-slip boundary condition at the wall. The non-Newtonian contribution to the stress is assumed to obey a differential constitutive law (due to Oldroyd, Johnson & Segalman), the key feature of which is a non-monotone relation between the total steady shear stress and strain rate. In a regime in which the Reynolds number is much smaller than the Deborah (or Weissenberg) number, one obtains a degenerate, singularly perturbed system of nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations. It is shown that if the driving pressure gradient exceeds a critical value (the local shear stress maximum of the steady stress vs. strain rate relation), then the solution to the governing system, starting from rest at , tends as to a particular discontinuous steady state solution (the “top-jumping” steady state), except in a small neighborhood of the discontinuity. This discontinuous steady state is shown to be nonlinearly stable in a precise sense with respect to perturbations yielding smooth initial data. Such discontinuous steady states have been proposed to explain “spurting” flows, which exhibit a large increase in mean flow rate when the driving pressure is raised above a critical value.

A model of an elastic-plastic medium with delayed yield

Stress-strain relationships for metals at high strain rates have long been studied, but no really reliable and generally accepted theory has emerged. It is sometimes assumed that the dynamic stress-strain diagram is largely insensitive to the rate over a certain range. Another approach is to insert derivatives of the stress and strata with respect to time. One difficulty in establishing the actual reIationships is that experiment provides only indirect evidence (direct tests are usually impossible). Any real dynamic experiment tends to produce complicated effects, which can be interpreted only if the basic equations are taken as known. The best that experiment can then do is to confirm or reject some prior assumptions.Many experimental studies deal with mechanical characteristics such as breaking strength and yield point as functions of strain rate; however, strain rate characterizes a range of conditions rather than defines a parameter. We therefore have to use simple models that allow formulation and solution of definite mechanical problems in relation to the dynamics of elastic-plastic media.
