Saint-Venant torsion analysis of bars with rectangular cross-section and effective coating layers

This paper investigates the torsion analysis of coated bars with a rectangular cross-section. Two opposite faces of a bar are coated by two isotropic layers with different materials of the original substrate that are perfectly bonded to the bar. With the Saint-Venant torsion theory, the governing equation of the problem in terms of the warping function is established and solved using the finite Fourier cosine transform. The state of stress on the cross-section, warping of the cross-section, and torsional rigidity of the bar are evaluated. Effects of thickness of the coating layers and material properties on these quantities are investigated. A set of graphs are provided that can be used to determine the coating thicknesses and material properties so as to keep the maximum von Mises stress on the cross-section below an allowable value for effective use of the coating layer.     

Static lateral stiffness of wire rope isolators

This paper presents an analytical model for the static lateral stiffness of Wire Rope Isolators (WRI). The wire rope isolator, which is a passive isolation device, has been widely adopted as a shock and vibration isolation for many types of equipment and lightweight structures. The major advantage of the WRI is its ability to provide isolation in all three planes and in any orientation. The WRI in the lateral roll mode, is required to possess the required lateral stiffness to support and isolate the equipment effectively. The static lateral stiffness of WRI depends mainly on the geometrical characteristics and wire rope properties. The model developed in this paper is validated experimentally using a series of monotonic loading tests. The flexural rigidity of the wire ropes, which is required in the model, was determined from the transverse bending test on several wire rope cables. It was observed that the lateral stiffness is significantly influenced by the wire rope diameter and height of the isolator. The proposed analytical model can be used for the evaluation of lateral stiffness and in the preliminary design of the WRI.

Parameter Invariance in Field Theory and the Hamiltonian Formalism

The deparametrization problem for parameter‐invariant Lagrangian densities defined over J¹(N, F), is solved in terms of a projection onto a suitable jet bundle. The Hamilton‐Cartan formalism for such Lagrangians is then introduced and the pre‐symplectic structure of such variational problems is proved to be projectable through the aforementioned projection. Specific examples with physical meaning are also analyzed. 1998 PACS codes. 02.20.Tw Infinite‐dimensional Lie groups, 02.30.Wd Calculus of variations and optimal control, 02.40.Ky Riemannian geometries, 02.40.Ma Global differential geometry, 02.40.Vh Global analysis and analysis on manifolds, 04.20.Fy Canonical formalism, Lagrangians, and variational principles, 11.10.Ef Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approach, 11.10.Kk Field theories in dimensions other than four, 11.25.Sq Nonperturbative techniques; string field theory. 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification.
