Shear buckling modes of cylindrical sandwich shells under external pressure, tension-compression of bearing layers with unequal forces, and inhomogeneous across-the-thickness temperature

Equations are set up for describing, in a correct statement and with an accuracy sufficient in actual practice, the shear buckling modes (BMs) of cylindrical sandwich shells with a transversely soft core of arbitrary thickness. Based on them, solutions are obtained to a number of problems on the buckling instability according to shear modes under some force and thermal loadings. It is found that the BMs occur in the shell along the circumferential and axial directions if, in the precritical state, a normal compressive stress arises in the transverse direction. It is shown that this condition is fulfilled in the following cases: in axial tension of the shell with unequal forces applied to the end faces of bearing layers (the parameter of critical load is maximum if the tensile forces are equal); under external (internal) pressure; on cooling the outer and heating the inner layers. The results obtained are presented in the form of simple analytical formulas for determining the corresponding critical parameters of the force and thermal actions.Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 41, No. 1, pp. 37–48, January–February, 2005.     

Vibration and dissipative heating of a layered rectangular viscoelastic prism under harmonic shear loading

The vibration and vibrational heating of a rectangular prism with copper and polyethylene layers is studied by solving numerically a coupled problem of thermoelasticity. The cases of kinematic and mechanical harmonic shear loads on a section of the prism surface are examined. Local heating regions are revealed. They are due to the stress fields in the neighborhood of the points at which the type of boundary conditions changes. The temperature–time curves have preresonance, resonant, and postresonance sections. The heating process reaches a steady thermal state under kinematic loading and may become avalanche-like (which is typical of thermal instability) under mechanical loading Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 45, No. 2, pp. 70–78, February 2009.     

Shear-wave speeds and elastic moduli for different liquids Part 3. Experiments-update

Tables of values of shear-wave speeds, shear moduli and relaxation times for 18 new liquids are presented, supplementing the tables for 51 liquids given in Part 2. A brief discussion of errors and analysis of the oscilloscope traces is presented. The relation of the effective moduli measured on the wave-speed meter to independent measurements using phase-modulated birefringence and delayed die swell is discussed. A method of measuring wave speeds and rigidities for sheared media is proposed.     

剪切形变下掺杂及缺陷对MoS2电子结构的影响

本文利用密度泛函理论,研究剪切形变下掺杂改性及不同类型缺陷对MoS2电子结构的影响。发现：剪切形变下,MoS2+P体系为相对最稳定的结构,掺杂改性相较于缺陷对模型稳定性影响更小;模型MoS2+P+Se中P-Mo键易形成共价键,而其中的Se-Mo键和MoS2+P-Mo-S模型中的P-Mo键,易形成离子键;掺杂使MoS2模型能隙变大,而缺陷使能隙减小,且S和Mo原子共缺陷的模型带隙为0;缺陷相较于掺杂改性模型,更能使Mo原子周围增加电荷聚集度,带隙值更低,更能影响或调控模型的电子结构。     

Influence of hybridization on in-plane shear properties of 2D & 3D thermoplastic composites reinforced with Kevlar/basalt fabrics

This paper investigates the characterization of in-plane shear properties of thermoplastic composites reinforced with Kevlar/basalt fabrics. Different fabrics had architectures of two dimensional plain woven (2D-P) and three dimensional angle-interlock (3D-A). Intralayer hybridization was performed during the weaving of the fabrics with the combination of Kevlar and basalt yarns. Five 2D-P and three 3D-A composite laminates were manufactured with polypropylene (PP) as a matrix, using compression molding. Iosipescu shear tests were carried out to evaluate the in-plane shear properties. The experimental results revealed that the shear properties including shear modulus, shear strength and shear failure strain of homogeneous composites were improved by 6.5–14.9%, 4.3–19.7%, and 3.2–46.7%, respectively. Similarly, change in the fabric architecture from 2D-P to 3D-A also enhanced the shear strength and shear failure strain by 32.0–41.6% and 7.2–22.5%, respectively. Intralayer hybrid composites had better in-plane shear properties than the interlayer hybrid composites. The fracture morphologies of the specimens were examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM).     

Different behaviors of concentrated polysaccharide systems in large-amplitude oscillating shear fields

Two series of oscillatory flow tests were carried out on two concentrated polysaccharide systems (hydroxyethyl guar gum and scleroglucan) in order to evaluate the possibilities offered by large-deformation techniques for the discrimination between different classes of macromolecular systems (i.e., entanglement networks and weak gels). Frequently and strain sweeps, as well as combined steady and oscillatory shear tests were performed to analyze the influence of strain amplitude and of the superposed parallel shear rate on the dynamic properties of these materials.

动脉瘤内流场以及瘤体尺寸的影响的数值研究

采用计算流体动力学(CFD)数值模拟的方法,在周期性脉动速度入流条件下,建立刚性动脉瘤模型并研究了动脉瘤模型中流场的特征(速度、压力、壁面剪切应力)。得到了脉动入流一个周期内流场特征的变化规律,发现动脉瘤的后端有相当高的压力和壁面剪切应力,而且高压力和壁面剪切应力分布的位置几乎是固定的。探讨了不同动脉瘤尺寸对内部流场的影响,动脉瘤的直径与瘤体长度之比越大,瘤壁承受的剪切应力就越大,动脉瘤破裂的危险性就越高。     

Pulsatile flows in a lateral aneurysm anchored on a stented and curved parent vessel

We present particle tracking velocimetry measurements and flow visualization of pulsatile flow fields in a stented cerebrovascular lateral aneurysm model with a wide ostium anchored on a curved parent vessel. Among the stent parameters, the blocking ratioC _α ranging from 0% to 75% was selected to study its effect on the changes of intra-aneurysmal hemodynamics for the reference of minimally invasive endovascular aneurysm treatment. The Womersley number was 3.9 and the mean, peak, and minimal Reynolds numbers based on the bulk average velocity and diameter of the parent vessel were 600, 850, and 300, respectively. The results are characterized in terms of velocity vector field, coded streak images, region averaged velocity, vorticity, and wall shear stress. A critical range ofC _α related to the inflow location as well as the shape and number of intra-aneurysmal vortices is identified. The intra-aneurysmal flow activity, vortex strength, and wall shear stress are found to decrease with increasingC _α. Among theC _α examined,C _α=75% is the most favorable in attenuating the risk of aneurysmal rupture and promoting intra-aneurysmal thrombus.
