A theoretical investigation of dynamic stability for linear elastic structures due to non-uniform, time and space-dependent stochastic temperature fields is presented. The study is based on the reformulation of stochastic stability problems as a stability of Itoˆ type equations in some appropriate Hilbert space and is adopted for stability problems of structures with time and space-dependent stochastic coefficients. Uniform stochastic stability criteria of the structure equilibrium are derived using the Liapunov direct method. The energy-like functional and the generalized ltoˆ lemma are used to derive the sufficient stability conditions of the equilibrium state. A symmetrically laminated crossply plate subjected to the wide-band Gaussian temperature distribution and a laminated beam subjected to local short-time heatings are analysed in detail.

The thermally induced flow field, in a rapidly rotating container consisting of a pair of coaxial cylinders bounded on the top and bottom by horizontal end plates, is considered. The top plate is heated and the bottom plate is cooled, both by small amounts, so that the thermal Rossby number is small, and the cylinders are supposed to be conductive. The induced velocity and temperature fields are determined by subdivision of the flow field; the equation for the central part, the inner core, is solved numerically as well as analytically.

We prove general stability theorems for n-dimensional quartic-cubic-quadratic-additive type functional equations of the form by applying the direct method. These stability theorems can save us the trouble of proving the stability of relevant solutions repeatedly appearing in the stability problems for various functional equations.

AbstractThe collision of a liquid drop against a small target results in the formation of a thin liquid sheet that extends radially until it reaches a maximum diameter. The subsequent retraction is due to the air–liquid surface tension. We have used a time- and space-resolved technique to measure the thickness field of this class of liquid sheet, based on the grey-level measurement of the image of a dyed liquid sheet recorded using a high-speed camera. This method enables a precise measurement of the thickness in the range $10{-}450~{\rm\mu}\text{m}$, with a temporal resolution equal to that of the camera. We have measured the evolution with time since impact, $t$, and radial position, $r$, of the thickness, $h(r,t)$, for various drop volumes and impact velocities. Two asymptotic regimes for the expansion of the sheet are evidenced. The scalings of the thickness with $t$ and $r$ measured in the two regimes are those that were predicted by Rozhkov et al. (Proc. R. Soc. Lond. A, vol. 460, 2004, pp. 2681–2704) for the short-time regime and Villermaux and Bossa (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 668, 2011, pp. 412–435) for the long-time regime, but never experimentally measured before. Interestingly, our experimental data also provide evidence for the existence of a maximum of the film thickness $h_{max}(r)$ at a radial position $r_{h_{max}}(t)$ corresponding to the cross-over of these two asymptotic regimes. The maximum moves with a constant velocity of the order of the drop impact velocity, as expected theoretically. Thanks to our visualization technique, we also provide evidence of an azimuthal thickness modulation of the liquid sheets.

Buckling and postbuckling of automotive clutch disks can be excited by the temperature fields caused by frictional heat generation during engagement of clutch systems. Linear and nonlinear buckling finite element analyses are performed to evaluate the thermal postbuckling of clutch metal disks. The dominant buckling modes are first obtained through performing linear buckling finite element analysis (FEA) analyses. The scaled displacement fields obtained from the linear buckling FEA analyses are added to the original geometries to generate the perturbed meshes. The postbuckling is then investigated by performing nonlinear buckling FEA analyses. The commercial FEA software ABAQUS is used in the current study. The effects of the temperature-dependent material properties are studied. It is concluded that the temperature dependence of material properties affects the postbuckling behaviors significantly.

The performance and reliability of microdevices can be strongly influenced by the peak temperature rise and spatial temperature distribution during brief electrical overstress (EOS) phenomena, which can occur at sub-microsecond time scales. The present study investigates short-time-scale laser reflectance thermometry of micro devices by examining the impact of passivation overlayers on the thermoreflectance signal and by demonstrating a calibration method suitable for metallization. This manuscript also describes a scanning laser thermometry facility that captures temperature fields in microdevices with 10 ns temporal resolution and 1 μm spatial resolution. The facility combines scanning laser optics with electrical stressing capability to allow simultaneous interrogation of the thermal and electrical behavior of devices. Data show the transient temperature distribution along the drift region of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) power transistors and along metal interconnects subjected to brief electrical stresses. The theory and experimental capability developed in this study are useful for studying short-time-scale thermal phenomena in microdevices and verifying models employed for their simulation.

SummaryThe Dynamic Relaxation (DR) method is applied to the solution of geometrically non-linear, elastic, laminated plate, flexural and stability problems. Two categories of plate are considered, namely, those that are symmetrically and unsymmetrically laminated with respect to the plate middle surface. Whereas the former category exhibits a bending – twisting coupling phenomenon, the latter exhibits an extensional – flexural type of coupling. The effects of these coupling phenomena are evaluated by comparing the plate responses with those of corresponding homogeneous, specially orthotropic plates. With the exception of uniaxially compressed plates of the latter category in the post-buckling regime, it is found that for both flexural and stability problems the coupling phenomena cause a reduction in stiffness and the extent of this reduction is dependent on the lay-up of the laminate.

This paper deals with a description of the crack behaviour in the layered alumina-zirconia ceramic laminate. The main aim is to investigate the crack behaviour in the compressive layer. The crack propagation was investigated on the basis of linear elastic fracture mechanics. Two dimensional finite element models were developed in order to obtain a stress distribution around the crack tip. The stress intensity factors were computed numerically employing the direct method. The change in the crack propagation direction was estimated using criterion based on the strain energy density factor. Sharp crack deflection in the compressive layer was predicted by mentioned approach. The determined crack behaviour is qualitatively in a good agreement with experimental observations.
