Reaction of acylacetylenes and methyl propiolate with N,N′-bis(dithiocarboxy)piperazine

The reaction of N,N-bis(dithiocarboxy)piperazine with acetylenic ketones and methyl propiolate gave N,N-bis(acylvinyldithiocarbo)- and N,N -bis(methoxy-carbonylvinyldithiocarbo)piperazines. Heating the compounds obtained with perchloric acid leads to intramolecular cyclization with the formation of N,N -bis[2-acyl(methoxycarbonyl)methyl-1,3-dithietanium]piperazine perchlorates.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Seriya Khimicheskaya, No. 11, pp. 2637–2640, November, 1990.     

Active damping of forced resonance vibrations of an isotropic shallow viscoelastic cylindrical panel under the action of an unknown mechanical load

Using a new approach, we consider the problem of active damping of the forced resonance vibrations of a viscoelastic isotropic cylindrical panel with simply supported edge faces. The mechanical load is assumed to be unknown; it can be found from the experimental data of a sensor. The problem is solved by the Bubnov–Galerkin method. A relation was obtained for the potential difference that has to be supplied to an actuator for the damping of resonance vibrations of the panel. We also study the influence of sizes of sensors and actuators, the dissipative properties of materials, and temperature on the efficiency of active damping of the forced resonance vibrations of a cylindrical panel.

The basic equations for viscoelastic laminated shells with distributed piezoelectric sensors and actuators are presented. Physical and geometrical nonlinearities are taken into account. It is shown that the asymptotic methods of nonlinear mechanics can be used in combination with the Bubnov–Galerkin method to solve nonlinear boundary value problems.     

Quasi-static thermoviscoelasticity of partially depolarized piezoceramic cylinder under a harmonic load

The oscillation and dissipative heating of an infinitely long piezoceramic cylinder polarized along the radius is considered in the case of partial heat depolarization, with harmonic quasi-static loading of the cylinder by a potential difference. The inner surface of the cylinder is thermally insulated; there is heat transfer at the outer surface. An analytical solution is obtained, and numerical calculations are performed for a TsTStBS-2 piezoceramic. The conditions in which the depolarized zone appears are examined, along with the stress-strain state of the cylinder. S. P.

Transverse vibrations and vibrational heating of a rectangular bimorphous plate of dissipative piezoelectric material

The problem of induced resonance vibrations and dissipation heating in a rectangular bimorphous plate made of a dissipative piezoelectric material under a harmonic potential difference is tackled. The edges of the plate are considered to be hinged and ideally thermally insulated. The dissipation properties of the material are taken into account on the basis of the concept of complex characteristics, which are assumed to be temperature-independent. An exact solution is found for the problem. The critical value of the load parameter is determined when the maximum temperature reaches the Curie point. A finite-element method has been developed for investigating the dynamic behavior and temperature of vibrational heating that bimorphous plates made of a viscoelastic material undergo under a harmonic load. The results obtained for the electromechanical vibrations of plates by finite-element calculations and by an analytical solution are compared.

Forced vibrations of a thin closed spherical and an infinitely long cylindrical piezoelectric shells with allowance for thermal depolarization

The paper deals with a conjugate problem of harmonic electromechanical vibrations and dissipative heating of a thin closed spherical and an infinitely long cylindrical piezoelectric shells with allowance for the temperature dependence of the viscoelastic properties and the phenomenon of thermal depolarization. The presence of an acoustic medium inside and outside the shell is taken into account. An explicit expression is derived for the critical electrical load for the case of constant electromechanical characteristics. Using a spherical shell as an example, we study the effect that the frequency of the harmonic load, the geometric parameters, and the external acoustic medium have on the critical electrical load as well as the temperature dependence of the electromechanical properties, including the Curie point, on the temperature-frequency characteristics.

Basic equations for thermoviscoelastic plates with distributed actuators under monoharmonic loading

The basic equations for thin-walled thermoviscoelastic plates with distributed piezoelectric actuators under monoharmonic mechanical and electric loads are derived. The thermomechanical behavior of materials is described using the concept of complex characteristics. Variational methods of solving nonlinear problems of active damping of the bending vibrations of plates are considered. The effect of dissipative heating on the damping of the axisymmetric bending vibrations of a circular plate is examined as an example Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 45, No. 2, pp. 107–123, February 2009.
