On stability of orthotropic cylindrical shells

In contrast to [1–3], the present paper obtains a system of stability equations and the corresponding resolving equation for orthotropic cylindrical shells of any but very short length in the case where the precritical stress state cannot be treated as the zero-moment state. These equations are a generalization of the results obtained in [4]. On the basis of these equations, one can obtain both the well-known formulas [1–3] and, for medium-length shells, some new expressions of the critical load in longitudinal compression and that under the joint action of torsionalmoments, normal pressure, and longitudinal compression. Some estimates are performed and the determination of the domain of application of some formulas given in [2] and in the present paper is attempted. For an orthotropic shell, a relationship between the elastic parameters and the shear modulus is established for axisymmetric and nonaxisymmetric buckling mode shapes in longitudinal compression.

On the spatial localization of the laminar boundary layer in a non-Newtonian dilatant fluid

In dilatant fluids the shear perturbation propagation rate is finite, in contrast to Newtonian and pseudoplastic fluids in which it is infinite [1]. Therefore, in certain dilatant fluid flows, frontal surfaces separating regions with zero and nonzero shear perturbations may be formed. Since, in a sense, the boundary layer is a “time scan” of the nonstationary shear perturbation propagation process, in dilatant fluids the boundary layer should definitely be spatially localized. This was first mentioned in [2] where, however, it was mistakenly asserted that boundary layer spatial localization does not take place in all dilatant fluids and is absent in so-called “hardening” dilatant fluids. In [3], the solutions of the laminar boundary-layer equations for speudoplastic and “hardening” dilatant fluids were investigated qualitatively. The formation of frontal surfaces in dilatant fluid flows is usually mathematically related with the existence of singular solutions of the corresponding differential equations [4]. However, since the analysis performed in [3] was inaccurate, in that study singular solutions were not found and it was incorrectly concluded that in “hardening” dilatant fluids there is no spatial boundary layer localization. The investigation performed in [5] showed that in fact in “hardening” dilatant fluids boundary layers are spatially localized, since there exist singular solutions of the corresponding differential equations. Subsequently, this result was reproduced in [6], where an attempt was also made to carry out a qualitative investigation of the solutions of the laminar boundary-layer equations for other types of dilatant fluids. The author did not find singular solutions in this case and mistakenly concluded that in these fluids there is no spatial boundary layer localization. This misunderstanding was due to the fact that in [6] it was not understood that in dilatant fluid flows the formation of frontal surfaces can be mathematically described not only in relation to the existence of singular solutions.     

Choice of a self-similar solution in boundary-layer theory

If the speed of the outer flow at the edge of the boundary layer does not depend on the time and is specified in the form of a power-law function of the longitudinal coordinate, then a self-similar solution of the boundary-layer equations can be found by integrating a third-order ordinary differential equation (see [1–3]). When the exponent of the power in the outerflow velocity distribution is negative, a self-similar solution satisfying the equations and the usually posed boundary conditions is not uniquely determinable [4], A similar result was obtained in [5] for flows of a conducting fluid in a magnetic field. In the present paper we study the behavior of non-self-similar perturbations of a self-similar solution, enabling us to provide a basis for the choice of a self-similar solution.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 42–46, July–August, 1974.     

Rayleigh stability of shear flow in relaxing media

The stability of steady-state flow is considered in a medium with a nonlocal coupling between pressure and density. The equations for perturbations in such a medium are derived in the linear approximation. The results of numerical integration are given for shear motion. The stability of parallel layered flow in an inviscid homogeneous fluid has been studied for a hundred years. The mathematics for investigating an inviscid instability has been developed, and it has been given a physical interpretation. The first important results in flow stability of an incompressible fluid were obtained in the papers of Helmholtz, Rayleigh, and Kelvin [1] in the last century. Heisenberg [2] worked on this problem in the 1920's, and a series of interesting papers by Tollmien [3] appeared subsequently. Apparently one of the first problems in the stability of a compressible fluid was solved by Landau [4]. The first investigations on the boundary-layer stability of an ideal gas were carried out by Lees and Lin [5], and Dunn and Lin [6]. Mention should be made of a series of papers which have appeared quite recently [7–9]. In all the papers mentioned flow stability is investigated in the framework of classical single-phase hydrodynamics. Meanwhile, in recent years, the processes by which perturbations propagate in media with relaxation have been intensively studied [10–12].Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 3, pp. 87–93, May–June, 1976.     

An experimental test of equations predicting the load bearing capacity of squeeze films of elastico-viscous liquid

A form of squeeze film apparatus was recently described in which the movement of one plate towards the other was simulated by the continuous volume generation of liquid over the plate area. The liquid exuded from a large number of holes in the lower plate surface and formed a “continous flow” version of squeeze film apparatus with no moving parts [1]. A later paper gave derivations of equations from which squeeze film load bearing capacity could be evaluated, taking into account viscous, inertial and normal stress effects in the liquid film [2].In order to find the total load in a squeeze film system, it was necessary to obtain the relationship between the first normal stress difference and shear rate for the liquid in use, using an experimental method. At high shear rates, the jet thrust method provided these data [3,4] and from them the load bearing capacity of squeeze films of hot, polymer-thickened oil were predicted [2].A more complete test of the method is possible with a highly elastic liquid because considerable load enhancement due to extra stress is present at moderate deformation rates in squeeze film systems [1,5,6,7]. Thus a 0.1 per cent aqueous polyacrylamide solution gives well-defined load enhancement and (quite independently) the jet thrust method gives the relationship between normal stress and shear rate from which predictions of load enhancement may be made. Furthermore, convergent nozzles may be used in the jet thrust apparatus [3] to measure the stress development in an elastic liquid which is being simulateneously sheared and stretched, a situation which more closely resembles the squeeze film case than that of steady shear.     

Calculation of unsteady supersonic flow past a two-dimensional cascade of plates ween vorticity inhomogeneities of the flow act on it

In the framework of the linear theory of small perturbations the problem of unsteady subsonic flow past a two-dimensional cascade of plates has been considered in a number of papers. Thus, the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of a cascade of vibrating plates were calculated in [1] by the method of integral equations, while the same method was used in [2, 3] to calculate the sound fields that are excited when sound waves Coming from outside or vorticity inhomogeneities of the oncoming flow act on the cascade. The problem of a two-dimensional cascade of vibrating plates in a supersonic flow was solved in [4, 5]. In [4] the solution was constructed on the basis of the well-known solution of the problem of vibrations of a single plate, while in [5] a variant of the method of integral equations was used which differed slightly from the usual formulation of this method [1–3]. The approach proposed in [5] is used below to calculate the unsteady flow past a two-dimensional cascade of plates in the case when vorticity inhomogeneities of a supersonic oncoming flow act on it. Equations are obtained for the strength of the unsteady pressure jumps arising in such a flow and the vortex wakes shed from the trailing edges of the plates. Examples of the calculations illustrating the accuracy of the method and its possibilities are given.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp, 152–160, May–June, 1986.     

Dipole nature of sound radiation by free turbulence with shear

The theory of aerodynamic generation of sound, whose fundamental principles were expounded by Lighthill in [1, 2], is used most in studying stream noise. According to this theory, the process of sound generation by free turbulence reduces to a quadrupole radiation mechanism and the sound intensity (without taking account of the effects of refraction and convection) depends on the stream velocity to the eighth power. In later years the Lighthill theory received intensive development in various directions. In particular, a number of papers, for example [3–7], in which the radiation of sound by a free stream was represented as the superposition of “shear noise” and “intrinsic noise” of turbulent pulsations, are devoted to the questions considered here about the influence of the mean velocity shear. A deduction is made in these papers which rely on the Lighthill theory, about the identical order of the intrinsic and shear noises. At the same time, the results of a number of experiments [8, 9] on the noise of subsonic jets show that the noise intensity at low subsonic velocities is proportional to the sixth power of the stream velocity. A dependence of the noise intensity on the sixth power of the velocity has been obtained by computational means in [10, 11] without relying on the Lighthill scheme for the solution. The noise intensity of a subsonic jet for just the shear component of the radiation was computed in [10] on the basis of the general solution of the wave equation, and it has been clarified that for low Mach numbers Maxa [M≤0.5] the sixth-power law is valid. This same law has been obtained in [11] for an acoustic field produced by pairs of moving vortices by using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. An attempt to explain the sixth-power law for the noise intensity of free turbulent streams by starting from the quadrupole radiation scheme was tried in [6], where it was assumed that the velocity pulsations depend on the stream velocity to the 3/4 rather than the first power. Utilization of this argument is inadequate since a direct dimensional analysis of the Lighthill solution results in a 7.5 power-law for shear noise and a seventh power law for the intrinsic noise of turbulent pulsations. This paper is devoted to an analysis of the discrepancy between the Lighthill quadrupole character of the sound radiation and the sixth-power dependence of the sound intensity on the stream velocity obtained as a result of the mentioned calculations [10, 11] and a number of experiments.     

Wall Boundary Layers for Maxwell Liquids

Flows of viscoelastic liquids at high Weissenberg number exhibit stress boundary layers near walls. These boundary layers are caused by the memory of the fluid: while particles at the wall remain in their position, particles at some distance from the wall move a long distance within one relaxation time if the Weissenberg number is high. Since the stresses depend on the flow history, this causes a steep boundary layer to form. A rescaling of the variables exploiting the thinness of this boundary layer can be used to derive a reduced set of boundary layer equations. This paper addresses the question of existence of solutions for these boundary layer equations. Using an implicit function argument, we prove the existence of a large class of solutions which arise from spatially periodic perturbations of uniform shear flow. The solutions we find can be characterized by the shear rate outside the boundary layer, which can be prescribed arbitrarily. Accepted: September 27, 1999     

Stability of plane poiseuille flow of a viscous anisotropic fluid

Experimental investigations show that the presence in a fluid of fibers and rigid asymmetric particles leads to a greater stability of flow in tubes and lowers the turbulent frictional resistance in a certain range of Reynolds numbers [1]. In the present paper, the anisotropic structure of a fluid with additives is described by Ericksen's rheological model [2]. The parameters of the model are particularized in accordance with the paper [3] of Pilipenko, Kalinichenko, and Lemak, and in the limiting case of weak Brownian motion allowance is made for the effect of the predominant orientation of the particles and the influence of additives on the longitudinal and shear viscosity. The stability of the Poiseuille flow is considered in the linear formulation. In an anisotropic viscous fluid, an equation of Orr-Sommerfeld type has a singular point. A rule for choosing the path of integration avoiding the singular point is obtained on the basis of a generalization of the method of Dikii [4] proposed in an investigation of the stability of the flow of an ideal fluid. The results of numerical calculations of the neutral stability curve for two-dimensional perturbations are given.     

Perturbations of flows of incompressible nonlinearly viscous and viscoplastic fluids caused by variations in material functions

Material functions are necessary element of the constitutive relations determining any model of continuum. These functions can be defined as a collection of objects from which the operator of constitutive relations can be reconstructed completely. The material functions are found in test experiments and show the differences between a given medium and other media in the framework of the same model [1]. The “test experiment theory” is an important part of modern experimental mechanics.Just as in any experiment, from determining the viscosity coefficient by using the rotational viscosimeters to constructing the yield surface by using machines combined loading, the material functions are determined with an unavoidable error. For example, experimenters know that, in experiments with arbitrary accuracy, the moduli of elasticity can only be measured with an unimprovable tolerance of about 7%. Starting already from [2], the investigators’ attention has been repeatedly drawn to the fact that it is necessary to take into account this tolerance in determining the material constants, functions, and functionals in problems of mechanics and especially in analyzing the stability of deformation processes. Mathematically, this means that problems of stability under perturbations of the initial data, external constantly acting forces, domain boundaries, etc. should be supplemented with the assumption that the material functions have unknown perturbations of a certain class [3].The variations of material functions in the framework of the linearized stability theory were considered in [2, 4, 5]. In what follows, we study isotropic tensor functions in the most general case of scalar and tensor nonlinearity. These functions are assigned the meaning of constitutive relations between the stress and strain rate tensors in continuum. These constitutive relations contain scalar material functions of invariants on which, as follows from the above, some variations proportional to a small physical parameter α can be imposed. These variations imply perturbations of the tensor function itself. The components of such perturbations linear and quadratic in α are determined. In each of the approximations, we write out a closed system of equations consisting of the equations of motion (linear in the variables of the respective approximation) and the incompressibility condition.We analyze tensor-linear functions with arbitrary scalar rheology inmore detail. Materials with such constitutive relations include non-Newtonian viscous fluids and viscoplastic materials. Viscoplastic materials are characterized by the existence of rigidity zones, where the stress intensity is less than the yield strength. We derive equations for the boundaries of the rigidity zones in the perturbed motion, in particular, for the case in which the unperturbed medium is a viscous Newtonian fluid. Throughout the paper, index-free notation is used.     

Fast evaluation of friction forces in traction-drive contacts including thermal effects

Summary  In automotive traction drives, power is transmitted by friction forces. The friction forces result from the shear stresses developed in lubricated and highly loaded contacts between rolling bodies. Due to the kinematics of a traction drive, shear velocities occur in both the rolling direction and perpendicular to it. Due to these shear velocities and by normal pressure, the lubricant is forced to build up shear stresses. The increase of the shear stresses may be modelled by a nonlinear viscous element. The describing differential equations are coupled by the equivalent shear stress, which defines the nonlinear behaviour of the element. A fast method is described to evaluate the coupled differential equations. By using a known analytical approximation for the equivalent shear stress, the differential equations are decoupled and can be solved analytically. In an iterative procedure the equivalent shear stress is updated, and the complete solution is found. The iterative method is extended to account for thermal effects in the contact.

Self-similar solutions in the problem of generalized vortex diffusion

The analysis of the group properties and the search for self-similar solutions in problems of mathematical physics and continuum mechanics have always been of interest, both theoretical and applied [1–3]. Self-similar solutions of parabolic problems that depend only on a variable of the type η = x/√t are classical fundamental solutions of the one-dimensional linear and nonlinear heat conduction equations describing numerous physical phenomena with initial discontinuities on the boundary [4]. In this study, the term “generalized vortex diffusion” is introduced in order to unify the different processes in mechanics modeled by these problems. Here, vortex layer diffusion and vortex filament diffusion in a Newtonian fluid [5] can serve as classical hydrodynamic examples. The cases of self-similarity with respect to the variable η are classified for fairly general kinematics of the processes, physical nonlinearities of the medium, and types of boundary conditions at the discontinuity points. The general initial and boundary value problem thus formulated is analyzed in detail for Newtonian and non-Newtonian power-law fluids and a medium similar in behavior to a rigid-ideally plastic body. New self-similar solutions for the shear stress are derived.

Stability of dedekind ellipsoids

The stability of Dedekind ellipsoids, which are characterized by their being fixed in space and preserving their shape through internal motion of the fluid when there are ellipsoidal perturbations of the surface, has been considered by Riemann and Chandrasekhar [1–4]. On the basis of an energy criterion, that the potential energy be minimal, Riemann showed that these ellipsoids are stable but for perturbation of only some of the variables. Chandrasekhar studied the stability on the basis of linearized virial equations. He showed that the Dedekind ellipsoids are stable under the condition that restrictions in the form of certain equations are imposed on the perturbing frequency . In the present paper, the stability is studied exactly, without linearization of the equations, on the basis of Routh's theorem [5] with respect to all variables under the assumption that after the perturbation the ellipsoid must preserve its shape. It is shown that the Dedekind ellipsoids are stable for ellipsoidal perturbations with respect to all variables without any restrictions on the frequency .Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 129–132, July–August, 1980.I thank V.
