The inverse conditionally correct problem of determining the residual stresses in compound welded shells of revoltuion

We solve the inverse conditionally correct problem of recovering the complete picture of the residual stressed state for a compound shell welded from two parts, one cylindrical and the othe conical. We apply the partial values of the stresses obtained experimentally by the method of photoelasticity. We also apply the numerical method of spline-collocations.

Analytical determination of residual stresses in a butt-weld of two thin rectangular plates

Based upon the direct integration method, the technique for analysis of residual stresses in a thin rectangular plate consisting of two butt-welded plates is presented. The material of plate is assumed to be elastic-plastic. The welded joint is modeled by a locally distributed field of longitudinal and transversal residual strains.

Inverse problem of nondestructive optical testing of residual stresses in cyclindrical shells

We considered the inverse problem of determination of the stress-strain state of a circular cylindrical shell that consists of two heterogeneous parts joined by a circular seam. As the input data for this problem, the results of polarization-optical measurements are used. The problem is formulated within the framework of a model that considers residual stress as caused by the geometric incompatibility of elastic deformations.

An axisymmetric steady-state thermoelastic problem of an external circular crack in an isotropic thick plate

A steady state thermoelastic mixed boundary value problem for an isotropic thick plate is considered in this paper. The faces of an external circular crack situated in the mid-plane of the plate are opened up by the application of temperature while the bounding surface of the plate are maintained at a constant zero temperature. Solution valid for large values of the ratio of the plate thickness to the diameter of the crack has been obtained. Expressions for various quantities of physical interest are derived by finding iterative solutions of the equations and the results are shown graphically.     

The solution of the Hertz axisymmetric contact problem

The main terms of the asymptotic form of the solution of the contact problem of the compression without friction of an elastic body and a punch initially in point contact are constructed by the method of matched asymptotic expansions using an improved matching procedure. The condition of unilateral contact is formulated taking account of tangential displacements on the contact surface. An asymptotic solution of the problem for the boundary layer is constructed by the complex potential method. An asymptotic model is constructed, extending the Hertz theory to the case where the surfaces of the punch and elastic body in the vicinity of the contact area are approximated by paraboloids of revolution. The problem of determining the convergence of the contacting bodies from the magnitude of the compressive force is reduced to the problem of calculating the so-called coefficient of local compliance, which is an integral characteristic of the geometry of the elastic body and its fixing conditions.     

A finite-element approach to solving a thermal conductivity problem for thick plates

A method is proposed for the numerical solution of a problem in the thermal conductivity a plate heated by a moving heat source, taking into account the dependence of the thermal properties of the material on temperature. A hypothesis of N. N. Rykalin concerning the state of the thermal field is adopted. The method is based on a spline variant of the finite-element method; this is based on the synthesis of parametrization and finite elements with splines. A FORTRAN algorithm is given for performing the method on an ES series computer.Translated from Matematichekie Metody i Fiziko-Mekhanicheskie Polya, No. 29, pp. 58–62, 1989.     

Calculation of contact stresses in axisymmetric underwater explosions

The problem of an underwater electrical explosion in a long layered elastoplastic cylinder is solved. The solution is obtained numerically with use of artificial viscosity. The law for energy produced by the explosion is determined experimentally and residual stresses are determined by the establishment method. Contact stress is presented as a function of explosion energy for various cylinders.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Prikladnaya Mekhanika, No. 20, pp. 106–109, 1989.     

The stationary axisymmetric two-body problem in general relativity

We continue our study, begun in [7], into the stationary axisymmetric solutions of the Einstein vacuum equations containing two (or more) black holes. This problem reduces to an elliptic system of nonlinear partial differential equations with prescribed blow-up as boundary conditions. We show the existence of solutions to the reduced system for any value of the five parameters of the problem. We show some regularity at the poles of the horizons. Using this result, we simplify the formula for the angle of deficiency of the conical singularity on the component of the axis of symmetry between the two horizons. This is to be interpreted as the gravitational force between rotating black holes. We also prove that the metrics constructed from solutions of the reduced system are indeed asymptotically flat.     

Dynamic programming in minimum-weight design of axisymmetric plates

The paper deals with minimum-weight design of axisymmetric plates. The design is subject to restrictions imposed by static equilibrium conditions and various yield criteria governing the failure of the material. Herein, the optimization problem is formulated as a dynamic programming problem and is solved. Such a formulation unifies the design procedure. The paper also discusses the dynamic programming approach.

An axisymmetric problem of viscoelasticity

The problem of a long hollow viscoelastic cylinder, enclosed in an elastic shell and loaded by internal pressure, is considered. Two cases are investigated: 1) the shear and volume relaxation kernels are proportional; 2) the shear and volume creep kernels are proportional. Resolving integral equations with singular kernels of a nondifference type are obtained and a method of solution is proposed. The convergence of the method is proved.Lomonosov Moscow State University. Translated from Mekhanika Polimerov, No. 5, pp. 798–805, September–October, 1969.

Design of axisymmetric sandwich plates for alternative loads

The minimal-weight design of sandwich plates whose rigidplastic face sheets obey the Tresca yield condition and which are subjected to two alternative loads is systematically determined by the method of stress variation. It is shown that, when the loads are unidirectional, the general solution for a certain class of edge conditions consists of five fundamentally different designs. The totality of optimal design solutions is depicted in the form of a design chart. A comprehensive example is presented to illustrate the method.This paper is based in part upon a dissertation submitted by the first author to The University of Iowa in partial fulfillment of requirements for the PhD Degree.
