Elasto-plastic earthquake response of arch dams including fluid–structure interaction by the Lagrangian approach

Elasto-plastic earthquake response of arch dams including fluid–structure interaction by the Lagrangian approach is mainly investigated in this study. To this aim, three-dimensional eight-noded version of Lagrangian fluid finite element including the effects of compressible wave propagation and surface sloshing motion, and three-dimensional version of Drucker–Prager model based on associated flow rule assumption were programmed in FORTRAN language by authors and incorporated into the program NONSAP. Two new components added into the NONSAP were tested on a simple fluid tank and a simple fluid–structure system and obtained very reasonable results.     

Asymptotic properties of the spectrum in the problem on waves in a bounded volume on a two-layer fluid

The asymptotic of eigen frequencies and corresponding waves on the free surface and interface of a two-layer ideal heavy fluid is constructed in two cases: the fluid is almost uniform and the upper layer has a low density. The asymptotic formulae are jusitified under the condition that the volume of the fluid is bounded. For the problem of surface waves, travelling in a submerged or surface-piercing infinite cylinder, the sufficient conditions for localized solutions of the limit problems to exist are indicated, and the hypothesis on the inevitable trapping of a wave by the body, which does not intersect both surfaces, is also formulated.     

Explosive instability in nonlinear waves in media with negative viscosity : PMM vol. 38, n 6, 1974, pp. 991–995

The propagation of a wave of a finite amplitude in a medium with a nonlinearity of the second degree and negative viscosity, is examined. It is shown that in a finite time singularities appear in the solution. The exact solution of the Cauchy problem is given for a specific case. Recently the effects of negative viscosity which cause an increase in the energy of the wave motion have been studied intensively in electrodynamics, plasma physics, the Earth's atmosphere, in the theory of the circulation of the oceans and of flow in open channels [1–4], Wave amplification caused by an energy transfer from turbulent to regular motions, is possible in any medium having space-time fluctuations, provided the correlation time is sufficiently small [5, 6]. As the wave amplitude increases, nonlinear effects become important; they have been taken into account in cases where the interaction of a finite number of harmonics [2, 4] and the structure of steady motions have been examined [3].It is shown in this paper that in a medium with negative viscosity and a second degree dynamic nonlinearity, a solution of the Cauchy problem for an arbitrary “good” form of the initial perturbation, exists over a finite time interval. An example of such a solution is given.     

Effects of Finite Water Depth on Natural Frequencies of Suspended Water Tanks

Linear sloshing problems (inviscid irrotational flows) in suspended tanks are revisited, with an intention to address some issues in the previous study based on shallow water wave theory. Time‐periodic solutions are considered, which describe the synchronized oscillation of the water and tank, reached after the initial transient dies out. The solutions are developed for arbitrary water depths, and separate explicitly the propagating and evanescent wave components of the fluid motion, illuminating clearly the physics and converging rapidly. At the limit of infinite string length, these solutions describe the sloshing motions in tanks that are free to oscillate horizontally on a frictionless plane. Various effects on the lowest sloshing mode are discussed, emphasizing the physical interpretations and examining the limitations of the shallow water approximations. Comparisons with existing laboratory experiments are made, showing agreements with the analysis.     

Propagation of Seismic Waves in Block Fluid Media

The propagation of seismic waves in block two- and three-dimensional fluid media is investigated. For these media, effective models, which are anisotropic fluids, are established. Formulas for the velocities of wave propagation in these fluid media are derived and analyzed. Special investigation is conducted in the cases where blocks with different fluids alternate along the coordinate axes or where blocks filled with a fluid are surrounded by blocks with another fluid. In both cases, the dependence of the wave velocities in the entire medium on the differences of the densities and the wave velocities in fluid blocks is studied. Bibliography: 9 titles.

On the incoming water waves against a vertical cliff

The problems of obliquely incident surface water waves against a vertical cliff have been handled in both the cases of water of infinite as well as finite depth by straight-forward uses of appropriate Havelock-type expansion theorems. The logarithmic singularity along the shore-line has been incorporated in a direct manner, by suitably representing the Dirac’s delta function.     

Propagation of plane waves in microstretch fluid

The propagation of plane harmonic waves are studied in a microstretch fluid medium. It is found that five basic waves can propagate at distinct speeds in an infinite linear homogeneous isotropic microstretch fluid. Out of these five waves, one is a longitudinal micro-rotational wave, two are coupled longitudinal waves and remaining two are coupled transverse waves. The longitudinal micro-rotational wave travels independently and is not influenced by the microstretching of the medium, while the coupled longitudinal waves arise due to the presence of microstretching and coupled transverse waves arise due to the presence of micro-rotation in the medium. Speed of propagation of all the waves are found to be complex valued and dispersive at low frequency, but almost non-dispersive at high frequency. Due to complex valued speeds of propagation, all the waves are attenuating but differently. Coupled sets of longitudinal waves reduce to a longitudinal wave of micropolar fluid in the absence of microstretching. Reflection phenomena of a set of coupled longitudinal waves incident obliquely at the free surface of a microstretch fluid half-space has been investigated. Closed formulae for the reflection coefficients are presented and computed numerically for a particular medium. The real and imaginary parts of the complex speeds of all the waves and their corresponding attenuation coefficients have also been studied numerically and depicted graphically against frequency parameter.     

Infinite elements in a poroelastodynamic FEM

Wave propagation phenomena in unbounded domains occur in many engineering applications, e.g., soil structure interactions. When simulating unbounded domains, infinite elements are a possible choice to describe the far field behavior, whereas the near field is described through conventional finite elements. Finite element formulations for porous materials in terms of Biot's theory [1] have been published, e.g., by Zienkiewicz [2]. For infinite elements, several approaches are described in [3,4]. Infinite elements are based on special shape functions to approximate the semi-infinite geometry as well as the Sommerfeld radiation condition, i.e., the waves decay with distance and are not reflected at infinity. If there is only one wave traveling in the media, a formulation in time-domain can be established. But in poroelastodynamics, there are three body waves and eventually also a Rayleigh wave. Unfortunately, the extension to more than one wave is not straight forward. Here, an infinite element is presented which can handle all wave types, as it is needed in poroelasticity.

Hereditary differential systems with constant delays. I. General case

This paper presents a discussion of the structure of hereditary differential systems defined on a Banach space with initial data in the space of p-integrable maps. Both finite and infinite time histories are allowed. A unified approach to Global and Local Cauchy problems on finite or infinite time intervals is presented. An existence theorem for Carathéodory systems and an existence and uniqueness theorem for Lipschitz systems are derived. In both cases continuity of a solution with respect to the initial data is established.

Short-Lived Large-Amplitude Pulses in the Nonlinear Long-Wave Model Described by the Modified Korteweg–De Vries Equation

The appearance and disappearance of short-lived large-amplitude pulses in a nonlinear long wave model is studied in the framework of the modified Korteweg–de Vries equation. The major mechanism of such wave generation is modulational instability leading to the generation and interaction of the breathers. The properties of breathers are studied both within the modified Korteweg–de Vries equation, and also within the nonlinear Schrödinger equations derived by an asymptotic reduction from the modified Korteweg–de Vries for weakly nonlinear wave packets. The associated spectral problems (AKNS or Zakharov-Shabat) of the inverse-scattering transform technique also are utilized. Wave formation due to this modulational instability is investigated for localized and for periodic disturbances. Nonlinear-dispersive focusing is identified as a possible mechanism for the formation of anomalously large pulses.     

A generalisation to the hybrid Fourier transform and its application

The hybrid Fourier transform, involving a linear combination of the cosine and sine functions as its kernel, is generalised for discontinuous but integrable functions, in the half-range comprising of the positive real axis. The present generalisation of the hybrid transform is observed to be useful in the area of two-dimensional wave problems involving a two-fluid region as opposed to the well-known hybrid transform, known as Havelock's expansion theorem, whose use is limited to the study of water wave problems involving only a single fluid medium.     

Mathematical simulation of deformation and wave processes in multilayered structures

The deformation and wave processes induced by collisions of an impactor with deformable layered targets of various configurations are analyzed. The numerical solution of such problems is associated with an adequate treatment of wave processes in a continuous medium, which is an especially difficult task in the case of layered targets. To deal with the former problem, it is proposed to use adaptive Lagrangian triangular meshes. Wave processes are simulated using the grid-characteristic method, which can serve as a basis for algorithms that do not fail near the boundary of the computational domain and at numerous material interfaces. Additionally, hybrid and hybridized grid-characteristic schemes are applied that substantially improve numerical solutions with steep gradients (discontinuous solutions). These methods provide an adequate treatment of wave processes in layered targets (wave reflection and refraction at contact surfaces, secondary-wave interaction, changes in the conditions on these boundaries, etc.).     

Analysis of models for calculating the motion of solids of revolution of minimum resistance in soil media

The solution of problems of searching for the optimal shape of a body when it penetrates into dense media is considered using local interaction models (LIMs) and Grigoryan's model of a soil medium in an axisymmetric formulation. A new LIM is obtained that is improved by taking account of the non-linear compressibility and shear strength in the analytical solution of a problem on the expansion of a spherical cavity. The applicability of an LIM that is quadratic with respect to the velocity in determining the forces resisting penetration of sharp bodies into soft soil is justified theoretically and experimentally and the violation of the conditions for the model to be applicable in the case of blunt bodies is established. It is shown that a solution taking account of non-linear flow effects in a two-dimensional formulation enables both the shape as well as power and kinematic characteristics of the optimal blunt bodies as they pass through soil media to be improved considerably. The ratio of the finite depths of penetration of solids of revolution into soft ground taking account of internal friction is estimated by the ratio of the coefficients in the Rankine–Resal formulae.     

Cooling of a composite slab in a two-fluid medium

A mixed boundary value problem associated with the diffusion equation that involves the physical problem of cooling of an infinite parallel-sided composite slab in a two-fluid medium, is solved completely by using the Wiener-Hopf technique. An analytical solution is derived for the temperature distribution at the quench fronts being created by two different layers of cold fluids having different cooling abilities moving on the upper surface of the slab at constant speedv. Simple expressions are derived for the values of the sputtering temperatures of the slab at the points of contact with the respective layers, assuming the front layer of the fluid to be of finite width and the back layer of infinite extent. The main problem is solved through a three-part Wiener-Hopf problem of a special type and the numerical results under certain special circumstances are obtained and presented in the form of a table.     

Attenuation and Diffraction of Bending Waves at Gaps in Fluid Loaded Plates

The scattering of a bending wave by a finite number of parallelrectilinear gaps in an infinite fluid-loaded plate is discussed.For the purpose of analysis, the widths of the gaps are assumedto be infinitesimal, but there is no physical contact betweenabutting edges of neighbouring sections of the plate. A sectionedge may be restrained by resilient supports or loadings, eitherindividually or jointly with the neighbouring edge. The theorydetermines the attenuation of the bending wave by the gaps andthe sound radiated into the ambient fluid during the interaction.Specific results are given for a steel plate which has a singlegap in air and in water, such that either (1) the abutting edgesare free to vibrate independently, (2) both edges are clamped,or (3) one edge is clamped and the other free. In each of thesecases the coupling between the two halves of the plate is providedsolely by the fluid loading: the bending wave would be totallyreflected at the gap in vacuo. The results are relevant to thecontrol and suppression of structure-borne sound     

Fréchet subdifferentials of efficient point multifunctions in parametric vector optimization

In this paper, we establish new formulae for computing and/or estimating the Fréchet subdifferential of the efficient point multifunction of a parametric vector optimization problem. These formulae are presented in a broad class of conventional vector optimization problems with the presence of geometric, operator and (finite and infinite) functional constraints.     

The Atkinson-Wilcox expansion theorem for electromagnetic chiral waves

Consider the problem of scattering of a time-harmonic electromagnetic wave by a three-dimensional bounded and smooth obstacle. The infinite space outside the obstacle is filled by a homogeneous isotropic chiral medium. In the region exterior to a sphere that includes the scatterer, any solution of the generalized Helmholtz's equation that satisfies the Silver-Müller radiation condition has a uniformly and absolutely convergent expansion in inverse powers of the radial distance from the center of the sphere. The coefficients of the expansion can be determined from the leading coefficient, “the radiation pattern”, by a recurrence relation.
