Effects of anti-symmetric nonlinear viscous damping on the force transmissibility of multi-degree of freedom structures

In the present study, the concept of the output frequency response function is applied to theoretically investigate the force transmissibility of multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) structures with a nonlinear anti-symmetric viscous damping. The results reveal that an anti-symmetric nonlinear viscous damping can significantly reduce the transmissibility over all resonance regions for MDOF structures while it has almost no effect on the transmissibility over non-resonant and isolation regions. The results indicate that the vibration isolators with an anti-symmetric damping characteristic have great potential to overcome the dilemma in the design of linear viscously damped vibration isolators where an increase of the damping level reduces the force transmissibility over resonant region but increases the transmissibility over non-resonant regions.

Squeeze flow of Bingham fluids under slip with friction boundary condition

This paper develops a theoretical analysis of a Bingham fluid in slipping squeeze flow. The flow field decomposition consists in combining a central extensional flow zone in the plane of symmetry and shear flow zones near the plates. It is also considered that the slipping zone is located around a central sticking zone as previously shown from experiments. It is assumed that the shear stress at the plates is constant in the slipping zone and equals a fixed friction yield value. The squeeze force required to compress a Bingham fluid under the slipping behaviour as well as the radial evolution of the transition point between both sticking and slipping zones are finally determined.     

Theoretical identification of forces resisting longitudinal movement of drillstrings in curved wells

The equations of balance of external and internal forces acting on a drillstring in a curved well are set up based on the formulations of direct and inverse problems in the mechanics of flexible curvilinear rods. The lowering, lifting, and rotation of a drillstring are studied. A method is proposed to calculate the internal longitudinal force, the forces of interaction between the drillstring and the well wall, and the forces of friction. An example is considered. It is shown that even small geometrical imperfections of the well path have a significant effect on the balance of external and internal forces __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 11, pp. 80–89, November 2007.     

Analysis and numerical simulation of magnetic forces between rigid polygonal bodies. Part I: Analysis

The mathematical and physical analysis of magnetoelastic phenomena is a topic of ongoing research. Different formulae have been proposed to describe the magnetic forces in macroscopic systems. We discuss several of these formulae in the context of rigid magnetized bodies. In case the bodies are in contact, we consider formulae both in the framework of macroscopic electrodynamics and via a multiscale approach, i.e., in a discrete setting of magnetic dipole moments. We give mathematically rigorous proofs for domains of polygonal shape (as well as for more general geometries) in two and three space dimensions. In an accompanying second article, we investigate the formulae in a number of numerical experiments, where we focus on the dependence of the magnetic force on the distance between the bodies and on the case when the two bodies are in contact. The aim of the analysis as well as of the numerical simulation is to contribute to the ongoing debate about which formula describes the magnetic force between macroscopic bodies best and to stimulate corresponding real-life experiments.      

Remarks on formulating an adhesion problem using Euler’s elastica (draft)

Three formulations for the problem of an elastica adhering to a rigid surface are discussed and compared. These include stationary principles, the surface integral of Eshelby’s energy-momentum tensor, and the material (configurational) force balance. The configuration at static equilibrium is predicted in closed form for a pair of structures that arise in nano- and microscale applications.     

Detachment of a rigid solid from an elastic wavy surface: Theory

The mechanics of detachment between a wavy elastic half space and a rigid solid is considered. Solutions for the axisymmetric problem of a rigid sphere and the plane strain problem of a rigid cylinder detaching from a wavy surface are developed. The interacting solids are taken to be in complete contact over a finite area initially. It is shown that the surface waviness makes the detachment process unstable, with the interface separating in alternating stable and unstable segments. Each unstable segment dissipates mechanical energy, leading to an increase in the total work of separation compared to that of a flat surface. Further, waviness causes the maximum separation force or the pull-off force to increase during detachment, resulting in an apparent toughening of the interface. This mechanism provides an alternative explanation to the experimental observations in the literature that roughness can sometimes lead to increase in pull-off force. It also illustrates the role of roughness in the attachment capability of several insect feet possessing soft pads. The basic solution presented here can be used to analyze the detachment of surfaces with multiple scale roughness as well. The solution also suggests strategies to improve reversible adhesion of a soft material by designing optimal surface topographies.
