Three methods for analyzing forced vibration of a fluid-filled cylindrical shell

The forced vibration of an infinite elastic circular cylindrical shell filled with fluid is studied. Three methods are employed to analyze the forced vibration problem of this shell-fluid coupled system, that is, wave propagation approach (wave mode superposition), theorem of residues and a numerical integral method. In order to explain these methods more explicitly, before being used to investigate the vibration of an infinite fluid-filled elastic circular cylindrical shell, all these three methods are employed firstly to analyze the forced vibration problem of an infinite beam and an infinite elastic circular cylindrical shell in vacuo. Advantage and disadvantage of these three methods are discussed and their interesting relationship is revealed. That is, to any circumferential wavenumber and frequency of the external force, there is an unchangeable relationship between the general coordinates of various waves in the wave propagation approach and the residuals in the theorem of residues.     

Second Order Nonlinear Evolution Inclusions Ⅰ： Existence and Relaxation Results

This is the first part of a work on second order nonlinear, nonmonotone evolution inclusions defined in the framework of an evolution triple of spaces and with a multivalued nonlinearity depending on both x（t） and x（t）. In this first part we prove existence and relaxation theorems. We consider the case of an usc, convex valued nonlinearity and we show that for this problem the solution set is nonempty and compact in C^1 （T, H）. Also we examine the Isc, nonconvex case and again we prove the existence of solutions. In addition we establish the existence of extremal solutions and by strengthening our hypotheses, we show that the extremal solutions are dense in C^1 （T, H） to the solutions of the original convex problem （strong relaxation）. An example of a nonlinear hyperbolic optimal control problem is also discussed.

Lyapunov-type inequalities for nonlinear systems

In this paper, by using elementary analysis, we establish some new Lyapunov-type inequalities for nonlinear systems of differential equations, special cases of which contain the well-known equations such as Emden-Fowler-type and half-linear equations. The inequalities obtained here can be used as handy tools in the study of qualitative behaviour of solutions of the associated equations.     

Unsteady MHD flow of a non-Newtonian fluid on a porous plate

This paper deals with the study of the MHD flow of non-Newtonian fluid on a porous plate. Two exact solutions for non-torsionally generated unsteady hydromagnetic flow of an electrically conducting second order incompressible fluid bounded by an infinite non-conducting porous plate subjected to a uniform suction or blowing have been analyzed. The governing partial differential equation for the flow has been established. The mathematical analysis is presented for the hydromagnetic boundary layer flow neglecting the induced magnetic field. The effect of presence of the material constants of the second order fluid on the velocity field is discussed.     

Investigating laser rapid manufacturing for Inconel-625 components

This paper presents an investigation of laser rapid manufacturing (LRM) for Inconel-625 components. LRM is an upcoming rapid manufacturing technology, it is similar to laser cladding at process level with different end applications. In general, laser-cladding technique is used to deposit materials on the substrate either to improve the surface properties or to refurbish the worn out parts, while LRM is capable of near-net shaping the components by layer-by-layer deposition of the material directly from CAD model. In the present study, a high-power continuous wave (CW) CO₂ laser system, integrated with a co-axial powder-feeding system and a three-axis workstation were used. The effect of processing parameters during LRM of Inconel-625 was studied and the optimum set of parameters for the maximum deposition rate was established employing Orthogonal L9 array of Taguchi technique. Results indicated that the powder feed rate and the scan speed contributed about 56% and 26%, respectively to the deposition rate, while the influence of laser power was limited to 10% only. Fabricated components were subjected to non-destructive testing (like—ultrasonic testing, dye-penetrant testing), tensile testing, impact testing, metallographic examinations and micro-hardness measurement. The test results revealed defect-free material deposition with improved mechanical strength without sacrificing the ductility.     

A Generalized Unpaired Electron Spin Density Equation and Organic Hyperconjugation Mechanism

A large class of stereochemcial and related interactions in organic chemistry are repulsive and others are attractive, but the relative orientation of two methyl groups and the amount of energy required to twist one relative to the other (the hindered rotation energy barriers), or the alignment of such a group with respect to a conjugated ring to which it is attached (widely attributed to a mechanism called “hyperconjugation”) are estimated to be small in compared with the total energy of the molecule. We used theories of both isotropic and anisotropic proton hyperfine interactions in the π‐electron systems developed in the early sixties. They are approximated by the magnetic dipole nteractions between each proton and an electron spin magnetization that is distributed in 2s and 2p Slater atomic orbitals center on carbon atoms. We have extended these theories to the non‐planar olefinic cation radicals, which are very important in biochemistry as well as in petroleum catalysis. A three dimensional electron spin density equation has been developed in this paper to handle some Jahn‐Teller vibronic molecules. The new electron spin density equation related the observed proton hyperfine splittings to the non‐planar structures of the open‐chain alkene cation radicals generated by radiolysis and various chemical oxidation methods. The spin densities and the conformational calculations based on valence bond theory and symmetry principles are compared with some more elaborated molecular orbital calculations in the literature. The localized valence bond approaches are better in accord with our experimental results. The anomalous line‐width effect of the four methyl groups observed in the 2,3‐dimethyl‐2‐butene cation radicals also confirmed the positive sign of the electron‐proton hyperfine constant of hyper‐conjugation mechanism. A methyl substituent attached to a conjugated molecule often behaves as if it formed part of the region of conjugation; the charge appears to flow from the methyl group into the π electron system and it may also give rise to an appreciable dipole moment. Methylation also gives rise to an appreciable dipole moment, and the resultant red shift of electronic absorption bands is of some importance in the design of dye molecules.     

Left, right, and inner socles of associative systems

We investigate the basic properties of the different socles that can be considered in not necessarily semiprime associative systems. Among other things, we show that the socle defined as the sum of minimal (or minimal and trivial) inner ideals is always an ideal. When trivial inner ideals are included, this inner socle contains the socles defined in terms of minimal left or right ideals.
