Pseudolocalized three-dimensional solitary waves as quasi-particles

A higher-order dispersive equation is introduced as a candidate for the governing equation of a field theory. A new class of solutions of the three-dimensional field equation are considered, which are not localized functions in the sense of the integrability of the square of the profile over an infinite domain. For this new class of solutions, the gradient and/or the Hessian/Laplacian are square integrable. In the linear limiting case, an analytical expression for the pseudolocalized solution is found and the method of variational approximation is applied to find the dynamics of the centers of the quasi-particles (QPs) corresponding to these solutions. A discrete Lagrangian can be derived due to the localization of the gradient and the Laplacian of the profile. The equations of motion of the QPs are derived from the discrete Lagrangian. The pseudomass (“wave mass”) of a QP is defined as well as the potential of interaction. The most important trait of the new QPs is that, at large distances, the force of attraction is proportional to the inverse square of the distance between the QPs. This can be considered analogous to the gravitational force in classical mechanics.     

Crack kinking in sandwich structures under three-point bending

Sandwich beams under three-point bending containing cracks in the core material very close to the upper skin interface are investigated. The cracks considered parallel or with an imperceptible inclination to the longitudinal beam axis and at different distances from the upper skin interface, are analyzed with static non-linear elastic two and three dimensional finite element analyses. From the proposed analyses stress intensity factors are calculated using linear elastic fracture mechanics. It is demonstrated that the crack propagation on the compression side of the core is mainly subjected in shear. The strain energy density criterion is used in order to determine the angle of kinking of the crack into the core.     

拉氏程序使用减敏模型模拟炸药绕爆问题

利用二维拉氏非结构网格爆轰流体程序对高能炸药的爆轰波绕爆问题进行数值模拟.拉氏程序对绕爆问题进行模拟时,会引起网格严重扭曲,导致网格大变形.使用JWL状态方程和三项式反应率,拉氏程序得到的绕爆数值结果与实验定性相同,较好地模拟了爆轰波绕爆过程中的漩涡现象.为了模拟一些钝感炸药在绕爆过程中的死区现象,在炸药反应率中加入减敏因子,模拟结果捕捉到死区,并与国外文章中的数值模拟结果定性相同.     

Asymptotics for kink propagation in the discrete Sine-Gordon equation

The evolution of a propagating kink in a Sine-Gordon lattice is studied asymptotically using an averaged Lagrangian formulation appropriately coupled to the effect of the radiation. We find that unlike the continuum case the interaction with the Goldstone mode is important to explain the acceleration of the kink as it hops along the lattice. We develop a discrete WKB type solution to study the interaction of the kink and the radiation. In particular using this solution we show how to calculate the effect of the Peyrard and Kruskal resonant radiation in the energy loss of the kink. We obtain a set of modulation equation which explains qualitatively the evolution of the kink with remarkable quantitative agreement.

利用欧拉-拉格朗日方法预测层流泡状流的含气率分布

利用欧拉-拉格朗日方法，提出了用于预测竖直管道内绝热层流泡状流中含气率分布的三维模型。该模型能够跟踪单独的气泡轨迹，从而获取更多的界面力信息；同时气泡尺寸可以作为参数之一引入模型，使含气率分布的计算更为方便。模型中分析了绝热层流泡状流中气泡的各项受力表达式，建立了两种描述方法下的气液两相间的耦合关系。利用现有实验数据对模型进行的检验表明，该模型能够预测一定尺寸范围内气泡的分布；气泡径向分布主要取决于气泡所受侧向提升力。对于更大尺寸的气泡，气泡变形和气泡尾迹与当地流场间相互作用将对侧向提升力产生很大影响。

Influence of a thin isotropic coating on the edge effect zone in isotropic and transversely isotropic materials

The effect of a thin isotropic coating on the edge effect zone in a representative element of a coated material is examined. Isotropic and transversely isotropic materials are considered. The transversely isotropic material has the elastic properties of unidirectional glass-fiber-reinforced plastic. The decay of the edge effect in the directions perpendicular to the coating plane and to the plane of isotropy is studied. A boundary-value problem of elasticity for piecewise-homogeneouse orthotropic bodies and a quantitative edge effect decay criterion for normal stresses are used as a design model. The problem is solved using the finite-difference method and base schemes. The results of evaluation of the edge effect zone in homogeneous and inhomogeneous materials are presented. It is shown that the presence of a thin isotropic coating blocks the edge effect, that is, decreases the edge effect zone in both isotropic and transversely isotropic materials __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 12, pp. 61–67, December 2007.

A multiscale approach of fatigue and shakedown for notched structures

The aim of this paper is to analyse the fatigue phenomena in the presence of stress gradients. It is well-known that most fatigue criteria fail to predict the lifetime of components in the presence of high stress concentrations or stress gradients, as it is the case in the neighbourhood of cracks, holes notches and encountered for example in riveted or threaded structures. Proposed is a numerical approach in the framework of the high cycle fatigue domain in order to give a qualitative answer. The work starts from the numerical computation of macroscopic loading corresponding to some fatigue experiments on specimens with an inclusion of metallic grains embedded in a macroscopic matrix. The computed fields are then analysed in terms of the HCF (high cycle fatigue) criterion [1], which is based on the estimation of the shakedown limit at the grain scale. The infinite lifetime prediction is based on the assumption that fatigue occurs if at least one grain fails, i.e. reaches plastic shakedown. The predictions at mesoscopic and macroscopic scales are close if the macroscopic stress distribution is homogeneous. However in the case of the stress gradient, lifetime predicted at the macroscopic scale is underestimated when compared to the predictions made at the mesoscopic scale. Another result is that the gap between microscopic and macroscopic predictions obtained from these numerical computations can roughly be estimated by a diminution of stress of the same order of magnitude as found in the experiments and phenomenological observations.
