Results are reported from an experiment involving photographic observation of constant-velocity transverse impact on long wires of annealed pure copper, two pure aluminums, and an aluminum alloy. Predictions of deformation are made assuming the quasi-static stress-strain curve governs behavior. Consistency with experimental observations is examined. Predictions are based on a closed-form solution to the problem, which is shown to be a compounding of two simple wave solutions of the governing equations. Predictions are consistent with observations for the aluminum alloy even under conditions of moderate or high static prestrain. The two pure aluminums and the copper show consistency at low but not at high strain levels. Highest strain levels reached were in the range 0.06–0.14.

A simple closed-form solution has been obtained for an axisymmetrical turbulent swirling jet issuing from a circular source into a semi-infinite motionless ambient fluid by introducing the assumptions of similar axial and swirling velocity profiles and lateral entrainment of ambient fluid into the integrated governing equations. Results for the decays of the axial and swirling velocities and the spray of the jet agree closely with the existing experimental findings on the velocity fields of a swirling round turbulent jet of air generated by flow issuing from a rotating pipe into a reservoir of motionless air.

To date, much of the work done on ferroelectric fracture assumes the material is elastically isotropic, yet there can be considerable polarization induced anisotropy. More sophisticated solutions of the fracture problem incorporate anisotropy through the Stroh formalism generalized to the piezoelectric material. This gives equations for the stress singularity, but the characteristic equation involves solving a sixth order polynomial. In general this must be accomplished numerically for each composition. In this work it is shown that a closed form solution can be obtained using orthotropy rescaling. This technique involves rescaling the coordinate system based on certain ratios of the elastic, dielectric, and piezoelectric coefficients. The result is that the governing equations can be reduced to the biharmonic equation and solutions for the isotropic material utilized to obtain solutions for the anisotropic material. This leads to closed form solutions for the stress singularity in terms of ratios of the elastic, dielectric, and piezoelectric coefficients. The results of the two approaches are compared and the contribution of anisotropy to the stress intensity factor discussed.

This paper presents the modeling steps towards development of frequency equations for a cantilever beam with a tip mass under general base excitations. More specifically, the beam is considered to vibrate in all the three directions, while subjected to a base rotational motion around its longitudinal direction. This is a common configuration utilized in many vibrating beam gyroscopes and well drilling systems. The governing equations are derived using Extended Hamilton’s Principle with general 6-DOF base motion. The natural frequency equations are then extracted in closed-form for the case where the base undergoes longitudinal rotation. For validation purposes, the resulting natural frequencies are compared with two example case studies; one with a beam on a stationary base and the other one with a rotor having flexible shaft.

This work presents the best theory diagrams (BTDs) for multilayered plates involved in multifield problems (mechanical, thermal and electrical). A BTD is a curve that reports the minimum number of terms of a refined model for a given accuracy. The axiomatic/asymptotic technique is employed in order to detect the relevant terms, and the error is computed with respect to an exact or quasi-exact solution. The models that belong to the BTDs are constructed by means of a genetic algorithm and the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF). The CUF defines the displacement field as an expansion of the thickness coordinate. The governing equations are obtained in terms of few fundamental nuclei, whose form does not depend on the particular expansion order that is employed. The Navier closed-form solution has been adopted to solve the equilibrium equations. The analyses herein reported are related to plates subjected to multifield loads: mechanical, thermal and electrical. The aim of this study is to evaluate the influence of the type of the load in the definition of the BTDs. In addition, the influence of geometry, material parameters and displacement/stress components are considered. The results suggest that the BTD and the CUF can be considered as tools to evaluate any structural theory against a reference solution. In addition, it has been found that the BTD definition is influenced to a great extent by the type of load.

This paper studies the influence of the variable nonlocal parameter and porosity on the free vibration behavior of the functionally graded nanoplates with porosity. Four patterns of distribution of the porosity through the thickness direction are considered. The classical nonlocal elasticity theory is modified to take into account the variation of the nonlocal parameter through the thickness of the nanoplates. The governing equations of motion are established using simple first-order shear deformation theory and Hamilton’s principle. The closed-form solution based on Navier’s technique is employed to solve the governing equations of motion of fully simply supported nanoplates. The accuracy of the present algorithm is proved via some comparison studies in some special cases. Then, the effects of the porosity, the variation of the nonlocal parameter, the power-law index, aspect ratio, and the side-to-thickness ratio on the free vibration of nanoscale porous plates are investigated carefully. The numerical results show that the porosity and nonlocal parameter have strong effects on the free vibration behavior of the nanoplates.

Currently, the photovoltaic (PV) panels widely manufactured on market are composed of stiff front and back layers and the solar cells embedded in a soft polymeric interlayer. The wind and snow pressure are the usual loads to which working PV panels need to face, and it needs the panels keep undamaged under those pressure when they generate electricity. Therefore, an accurate and systematic research on bending behavior of PV panels is important and necessary. In this paper, classical lamination theory (CLT) considering soft interlayer is applied to build governing equations of the solar panel. A Rayleigh–Rita method is modified to solve the governing equations and calculate the static deformation of the PV panel. Different from many previous researches only analyzing simply supported boundary condition for four edges, a special boundary condition which consists of two opposite edges simply supported and the others two free is studied in this paper. A closed form solution is derived out and used to do the numerical calculation. The corresponding bending experiments of PV panels are completed. Comparing the numerical results with experiment results, the accuracy of the analytical solutions are verified.

The equations to generate a J-R curve from a four-point bend test on circumferentially cracked pipe have been known for many years. Given the experimental pipe load-displacement record and crack growth, the only impediment to routinely calculating pipe J-R curves is the requirement to know the non-cracked pipe elastic and plastic displacements. Traditionally, finite element analyses are used to find these displacements. This paper presents a semi-closed-form solution for the total (elastic plus plastic) non-cracked pipe displacements that eliminates the need to perform finite element analyses to calculate a pipe J-R curve. Using a Ramberg-Osgood nonlinear representation of the stress-strain curve and the assumption that plane sections remain plane, beam bending equations can be written to find nonlinear beam displacements for pipe bend geometries with a base metal crack. Building on this result, the solution is extended to the dissimilar metal weld (DMW) case with five nonlinear materials. The non-cracked pipe displacement solutions are presented as well as comparisons using these equations between compact tension specimen J-R toughness curves and J-R curves from pipe experiments.

A conservation law that leads to a path-independent integral of fracture mechanics is derived along with the governing equations and boundary conditions for linear piezoelectric materials. A closed-form solution to the antiplane fracture problem is obtained for an unbounded piezoelectric medium. The path-independent integral is evaluated at the crack tip to obtain the energy release rate for a mode III fracture problem. For a fixed value of the mechanical load, it is shown that the crack growth can be either enhanced or retarded depending on the magnitude, the direction, and the type of the applied electrical load. It is also shown that, for certain ratios of the applied electrical load to mechanical load, crack arrestment can be observed.

This paper is Part 1 of two papers illustrating how isochronous curves can be used to determine creep stress and damage. In Part 1 of the paper two simple examples of two bars under axial load and a beam in pure bending are illustrated using a closed form solution to determine the creep stress and damage from an isochronous stress strain curves. For the two examples, the Omega material model was used for generating the isochronous stress strain curve and for computing the creep damage. The closed from solutions are compared with finite element analysis using isochronous stress strain curves as well as time explicit Omega creep model. The results from all the three analysis are found to be in good agreement.
