Unbonded contact between a circular plate and an elastic half-space

The paper concerns the unbonded contact between a thin circular plate of finite radius, governed by Kirchhof or Reissner theory, pressed by means of rotationally symmetric distributed load and its own weight against the surface of an elastic half-space. The contact is assumed frictionless and unbonded. A Hankel transform solution is used for the half-space and the plate deflection is found by inverting the plate equation. The coefficients in a power expansion are obtained by equating plate and half-space deflections at a number of points in the contact region. The variation of contact radius with plate radius, the radius of the uniformly applied load, and the relative stiffness of plate and foundation, is displayed in a series of figures.     

Interaction of a die with a layered elastic foundation

Plane and axisymmetric contact problems for a three-layer elastic half-space are considered. The plane problem is reduced to a singular integral equation of the first kind whose approximate solution is obtained by a modified Multhopp-Kalandiya method of collocation. The axisymmetric problem is reduced to an integral Fredholm equation of the second kind whose approximate solution is obtained by a specially developed method of collocation over the nodes of the Legendre polynomial. An axisymmetric contact problem for an transversely isotropic layer completely adherent to an elastic isotropic half-space is also considered. Examples of calculating the characteristic integral quantities are given. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 47, No. 3, pp. 165–175, May–June, 2006.     

Contact with friction of a rigid cylinder with an elastic half-space

An exact solution to the problem of indentation with friction of a rigid cylinder into an elastic half-space is presented. The corresponding boundary-value problem is formulated in planar bipolar coordinates, and reduced to a singular integral equation with respect to the unknown normal stress in the slip zones. An exact analytical solution of this equation is constructed using the Wiener-Hopf technique, which allowed for a detailed analysis of the contact stresses, strain, displacement, and relative slip zone sizes. Also, a simple analytical solution is furnished in the limiting case of full stick between the cylinder and half-space.

Stokes’ first problem for a second grade fluid in a porous half-space with heated boundary

Based on a modified Darcy's law, Stokes’ first problem was investigated for a second grade fluid in a porous half-space with a heated flat plate. Exact solutions of the velocity and temperature fields were obtained using Fourier sine transforms. In contrast to the classical Stokes’ first problem, there is a steady-state solution for the second grade fluid in the porous half-space, which is a damping exponential function with respect to the distance from the flat plate. The well-known solutions for Newtonian fluids in non-porous or porous half-space appear in limiting cases of our solutions.

Solution of the first boundary value problem of nonlinear theory of steady-state creep for a half-space in antiplane deformation

The first boundary value problem of nonlinear theory of steady-state creep with powerlaw relationship between the stresses and the strain rates is considered for a half-space under conditions of antiplane (out-of-plane) deformation when tangential distributed forces are given on the half-space boundary. By using the introduced harmonic pseudostress function, we reduce solving this problem to solving a nonlinear singular integral equation admitting an exact solution.     

The problem of a slender die

The paper deals with the contact behaviour of a slender die indenting an elastic half-space. It is shown that the problem of determining the pressure on the elastic half-space may be reduced (with an error exponentially small relative to the elongation) to a single-variable integral equation, whose solution is commonly represented by an asymptotic series in a small parameter. It was shown for a die of oval form that, depending on the type of contact region, either an increase or decrease in the force acting from the elastic half-space on the die upon approaching the end-points of the die are possible.     

Analytic Solution of an Inhomogeneous Kinetic Equation in the Problem of Second-Order Thermal Creep

An analytic solution of the problem of second-order thermal creep is obtained. A method for solving the half-space boundary value problem for an inhomogeneous linearized kinetic BGK equation forms the basis of the solution. The general solution of the input equation is constructed in the form of an expansion of the corresponding characteristic equation in terms of the eigenfunctions. Substitution of the solution in the boundary conditions leads to a Riemann boundary value problem. The unknown thermal creep velocity is found from the condition of solvability of the boundary value problem. The numerical analysis performed confirms the existence of negative thermophoresis (in the direction of the temperature gradient) for high-conductivity aerosol particles at low Knudsen numbers.     

Torsional stiffness of a layer bonded to an elastic half space

The static solution to the problem of a layer bonded to an elastic half-space, where the layer is driven by the torsional rotation of a bonded rigid circular disk, is considered here. An iterative solution, perturbing on that given for the elastic half-space, is obtained as a convergent power series, provided the ratio of the stratum depth to the radius of the disk is large. An equation for the applied static torque at the surface of the rigid disk is also calculated and compared, under limiting cases, with known results.     

Dynamic interaction of a pile with a transversely isotropic elastic half-space under transverse excitations

This investigation is concerned with a mathematical analysis of an elastic circular cylindrical pile embedded in a transversely isotropic half-space under lateral dynamic excitations. A combination of time-harmonic horizontal shear force and moment are applied at the top end of the pile. The boundary value problem is formulated by decomposing the pile-medium system into a fictitious pile and an extended transversely isotropic half-space. A Fredholm integral equation of the second kind governs the interaction problem, whose solution is then computed numerically. Selected results for dynamic compliance bending moment, displacement and slope profiles are presented for different transversely isotropic half-spaces to portray the influence of degree of anisotropy of the medium on various aspects of the solution.     

Harmonic vibrations of a half-space with a surface-breaking crack under conditions of out-of-plane deformation

The paper presents a solution of the problem of determining the stress state in an elastic isotropic half-space with a crack intersecting its boundary under harmonic longitudinal shear vibrations. The vibrations are excited by a regular action of a harmonic shear load on the crack shores. The solution method is based on the use of the discontinuous solution of the Helmholtz equation, which allows one to reduce the original problem to a singular integro-differential equation for the unknown jump of the displacement on the crack surface. The solution of this equation is complicated by the existence of a fixed singularity of its kernel. Therefore, one of the main results is the development of an efficient approximate method for solving such equations, which takes into account the true asymptotics of the unknown function. The latter allows one to obtain a high-precision approximate formula for calculating the stress intensity factor.     

Impact of a rectangular plate on a liquid half-space

The potential flow of an ideal incompressible fluid occupying a half-space resulting from the impact of a rectangular plate on its surface is considered. Outside the plate the surface of the fluid is free. An integral equation of the first kind is obtained for the impulsive pressure beneath a flexible plate. It is solved on a computer by the power series method for the particular case of a rigid nondeformable plate. The accuracy of the method is estimated. The theoretical dependence of the virtual mass and virtual moment of inertia coefficients of a rigid nondeformable plate on the plate geometry is constructed and compared with the experimental data and with empirical formulas [1-3] not directly related with the solution of the Laplace equation.Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No.5, pp. 120–126, September–October, 1992.     

The Helmholtz Equation in a Locally Perturbed Half-Space with Non-Absorbing Boundary

We obtain uniqueness and existence results of an outgoing solution for the Helmholtz equation in a half-space, or in a compact local perturbation of it, with an impedance boundary condition. It is worth noting that these kinds of domains have unbounded boundaries which lead to a non-classical exterior problem. The established radiation condition is somewhat different from the usual Sommerfeld’s one, due to the appearance of surface waves (in the case of a non-absorbing boundary). A half-space Green’s function framework is used to carry out our computations. This is an extended and detailed version of the previous article “The Helmholtz equation with impedance in a half-space,” Duran et al. (CR Acad Sci Paris Ser I 341:561–566, 2005).

Action of an elliptic punch on a transversally isotropic half-space

The 3D contact problem on the action of a punch elliptic in horizontal projection on a transversally isotropic elastic half-space is considered for the case in which the isotropy planes are perpendicular to the boundary of the half-space. The elliptic contact region is assumed to be given (the punch has sharp edges). The integral equation of the contact problem is obtained. The elastic rigidity of the half-space boundary characterized by the normal displacement under the action of a given lumped force significantly depends on the chosen direction on this boundary. In this connection, the following two cases of location of the ellipse of contact are considered: it can be elongated along the first or the second axis of Cartesian coordinate system on the body boundary. Exact solutions are obtained for a punch with base shaped as an elliptic paraboloid, and these solutions are used to carry out the computations for various versions of the five elastic constants. The structure of the exact solution is found for a punch with polynomial base, and a method for determining the solution is proposed.     

Analytical solution of Stokes’ second problem on the behavior of rarefied gas over an oscillating surface

Stokes’ second problem on the behavior of rarefied gas occupying a half-space is analytically solved. The plane bounding the half-space executes harmonic oscillations. The kinetic equation with the model collision integral in the form of a τ-model is used and the case of diffuse reflection of gas molecules from the wall is considered. The distribution function of gas molecules is constructed and the mass velocity of the gas in the half-space, together with its value directly at the wall, is determined. The drag force acting from the gas on the boundary executing oscillatory motion in its plane is obtained. Moreover, the energy dissipation rate per unit area of the oscillating plate bounding the gas is determined.
