A system of approximate, one-dimensional equations is derived for axially symmetric motions of an elastic rod of circular cross section. The equations take into account the coupling between longitudinal, axial shear, and radial modes. The spectrum of frequencies for real, imaginary, and complex wave numbers in an infinite rod is explored in detail and compared with the analogous solution of the three-dimensional equations.

Actual Geometry

Part I of this work presents a combined one-dimensional/three-dimensional approach for obtaining a unified model for the dynamics of micro- and macro-drills. To increase the numerical efficiency of the model, portions of the drill with circular cross-section (shank, extension, and tapered sections) are modeled using one-dimensional beam models without compromising model accuracy. A three-dimensional model is used for an accurate representation of the fluted section, considering the actual geometry with the pretwisted shape and axially varying (nonaxisymmetric) cross-section. The actual cross-section of the drills is incorporated to the model through a polynomial mapping while the pretwist effect is captured by defining a rotating reference frame. The boundary-value problem for both one- and three-dimensional models are derived using a variational approach, based on the extended Hamilton’s principle, and are subsequently solved by applying the spectral-Tchebychev technique. A component-mode synthesis is used for connecting the individual sections to obtain the dynamic model for the entire drill. Convergence of the model is studied by varying the number of polynomials for each section. The experimental validation of the model is included in Part II for both macro- and micro-drills. Also included in Part II is an analysis of drill dynamics for varying drill-geometry parameters and axial (thrust) force.

Pressure Die Casting

During the initial slow stage of the injection process in high-pressure die casting machines with horizontal cold chamber, a plunger pushes the molten metal which partially fills the injection chamber, causing the formation of a gravity wave. The evolution of the wave surface profile, which depends on the plunger acceleration law, may trap air in the molten metal, causing porosity when the metal solidifies. In this work, a one-dimensional shallow-water model, which is solved numerically using the method of characteristics, and a three-dimensional numerical model, based on a finite element formulation and the volume of fluid (VOF) method for treating the free surface, are used to analyze the flow of molten metal in an injection chamber of circular cross section. The results for the evolution of the free surface obtained from both models for different plunger motion laws and initial filling fractions of the injection chamber were in good agreement for broad ranges of operating conditions. The existence of a critical plunger speed, above which the reflection of the wave of molten metal against the chamber ceiling might appreciably increase air entrapment effects, is investigated. The results for the wave profiles in chambers of circular cross section are compared with those obtained in an equivalent two-dimensional configuration of the injection chamber, for which the shallow-water model is solved analytically. It is shown how the results obtained by applying the one-dimensional model to a two-dimensional chamber configuration can be used to reproduce, with an acceptable degree of accuracy, the salient characteristics of the flow of molten metal in a real injection chamber of circular cross section.

This paper investigates the three-dimensional configurations of a slender elastic rod of uniform circular cross-section subject to parallel terminal forces and moments. The nonlinear, equilibrium equations for the rod are established for a Cartesian coordinate system and solved analytically without linearization. Consequently, the results are applicable for large nonlinear elastic deformations.

Starting with the three-dimensional theory of classical continuum mechanics, some aspects of both the nonlinear and the linear theories of elastic rods are discussed. Detailed attention is given to the derivation of constitutive equations for the linear isothermal theory of elastic rods of an isotropic material and of variable cross-section, deduced by an approximation procedure from the three-dimensional equations. Explicit linear constitutive relations are obtained for straight isotropic circular rods of non-uniform cross-section; the explicit calculation is carried out (in terms of an approximate specific Gibbs free energy function) in four distinct parts, since the complete system of equations involved separate into those appropriate for extensional, torsional and two flexural modes of deformation. A system of displacement differential equations is derived for flexure of a beam of variable circular cross-section; they reduce to those of the Timoshenko beam theory when the radius of the cross-section is constant.

The biological objectives of root canal treatment have not changed over the recentdecades, but the methods to attain these goals have been greatly modified. Theintroduction of NiTi rotary files represents a major leap in the development ofendodontic instruments, with a wide variety of sophisticated instruments presentlyavailable (1, 2).Whatever their modification or improvement, all of these instruments have onething in common: they consist of a metal core with some type of rotating blade thatmachines the canal with a circular motion using flutes to carry the dentin chips anddebris coronally. Consequently, all rotary NiTi files will machine the root canal to acylindrical bore with a circular cross-section if the clinician applies them in a strictboring manner

This paper discusses the large-displacement flexural-torsional behavior of a straight elastic beam with uniform circular cross-section subject to arbitrary terminal bending and twisting moments. The beam is assumed to be free from any kinematic constraints at both ends. The equilibrium equation is solved analytically with the full expression for curvature to obtain the deformed configuration in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. The results show the influence of the terminal moments on the beam’s deflected configuration.

A cross-sectionally averaged one-dimensional long-wave model is developed. Three-dimensional equations of motion for inviscid and incompressible fluid are first integrated over a channel cross-section. To express the resulting one-dimensional equations in terms of the cross-sectional-averaged longitudinal velocity and spanwise-averaged free-surface elevation, the characteristic depth and width of the channel cross-section are assumed to be smaller than the typical wavelength, resulting in Boussinesq-type equations. Viscous effects are also considered. The new model is, therefore, adequate for describing weakly nonlinear and weakly dispersive wave propagation along a non-uniform channel with arbitrary cross-section. More specifically, the new model has the following new properties: (i) the arbitrary channel cross-section can be asymmetric with respect to the direction of wave propagation, (ii) the channel cross-section can change appreciably within a wavelength, (iii) the effects of viscosity inside the bottom boundary layer can be considered, and (iv) the three-dimensional flow features can be recovered from the perturbation solutions. Analytical and numerical examples for uniform channels, channels where the cross-sectional geometry changes slowly and channels where the depth and width variation is appreciable within the wavelength scale are discussed to illustrate the validity and capability of the present model. With the consideration of viscous boundary layer effects, the present theory agrees reasonably well with experimental results presented by Chang et al. (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 95, 1979, pp. 401–414) for converging/diverging channels and those of Liu et al. (Coast. Engng, vol. 53, 2006, pp. 181–190) for a uniform channel with a sloping beach. The numerical results for a solitary wave propagating in a channel where the width variation is appreciable within a wavelength are discussed.

Abstract Motivated by the observations of snap-through phenomena in pre-stressed strips and curved shells, we numerically investigate the snapping of a pre-buckled hemispherical gridshell under apex load indentation. Our experimentally validated numerical framework on elastic gridshell simulation combines two components: (i) Discrete Elastic Rods method, for the geometrically nonlinear description of one dimensional rods; and (ii) a naive penalty-based energy functional, to perform the non-deviation condition between two rods at joint. An initially planar grid of slender rods can be actuated into a three dimensional hemispherical shape by loading its extremities through a prescribed path, known as buckling induced assembly; next, this pre-buckled structure can suddenly change its bending direction at some threshold points when compressing its apex to the other side. We find that the hemispherical gridshell can undergo snap-through buckling through two different paths based on two different apex loading conditions. The first critical snap-through point slightly increases as the number of rods in gridshell structure becomes denser, which emphasizes the mechanically nonlocal property in hollow grids, in contrast to the local response of continuum shells. The findings may bridge the gap among rods, grids, knits, and shells, for a fundamental understanding of a group of thin elastic structures, and inspire the design of novel micro-electro-mechanical systems and functional metamaterials.
