Abstract The scattering of plane steady-state sound waves from a viscous fluid-filled thin cylindrical shell weak- ened by a long linear slit and submerged in an ideal fluid is studied. For the description of vibrations of elastic objects the Kirchhoff-Love shell-theory approximation is used. An exact solution of this problem is obtained in the form of series with cylindrical harmonics. The numerical analysis is carried out for a steel shell filled with oil and immersed in seawater. The modules and phases of the scattering amplitudes versus the dimensionless wavenumber of the incident sound wave as well as directivity patterns of the scattered field are investigated taking into consideration the orientation of the slit on the elastic shell surface. The plots obtained show a considerable influence of the slit and viscous fluid filler on the diffraction process.

Abstract Free vibrations of rotating cylindrical shells with distributed springs were studied. Based on the Flügge shell theory, the governing equations of rotating cylindrical shells with distributed springs were derived under typical boundary conditions. Multicomponent modal functions were used to satisfy the distributed springs around the circumference. The natural responses were analyzed using the Galerkin method. The effects of parameters, rotation speed, stiffness, and ratios of thickness/radius and length/radius, on natural response were also examined.

AbstractIn this paper, we present a general method to derive the explicit constitutive relations for isotropic elastic 6-parameter shells made from a Cosserat material. The dimensional reduction procedure extends the methods of the classical shell theory to the case of Cosserat shells. Starting from the three-dimensional Cosserat parent model, we perform the integration over the thickness and obtain a consistent shell model of order $$ O(h^5) $$ O ( h 5 ) with respect to the shell thickness h. We derive the explicit form of the strain energy density for 6-parameter (Cosserat) shells, in which the constitutive coefficients are expressed in terms of the three-dimensional elasticity constants and depend on the initial curvature of the shell. The obtained form of the shell strain energy density is compared with other previous variants from the literature, and the advantages of our constitutive model are discussed.

Axially Moving

This article deals with the analysis of free vibration of an axially moving truncated conical shell. Based on the classical linear theory of elasticity, Donnell shell theory assumptions, Hamilton principle, and Galerkin method, the motion equations of axially moving truncated conical shells are derived. Then, the perturbation method is used to obtain the natural frequency of the system. One of the most important and controversial results in studies of axially moving structures is the velocity detection of critical points. Therefore, the effect of velocity on the creation of divergence instability is investigated. The other important goal in this study is to investigate the effect of the cone angle. As a novelty, our study found that increasing or decreasing the cone angle also affects the critical velocity of the structure in addition to changing the natural frequency, meaning that with increasing the cone angle, the instability occurs at a lower velocity. Also, the effect of other parameters such as aspect ratio and mechanical properties on the frequency and instability points is investigated.

Theory Solution

In this study the effect of local loads applied on a sectorial toroidal shell (pipe bend) is considered. A linear elastic shell theory solution for local loads is first outlined. The solution corresponds to the case of a shell simply supported at the two ends. Detailed displacement and stress results are then given for a specific shell with loadings centred at three positions; the crown circles, the extrados, and the intrados. These results are compared with results for a corresponding cylindrical shell. The paper concludes with a table summarizing results for characteristic displacements and stresses in a number of shells, covering a wide range of geometric parameters.

The high blood rate that often occurs in carotid arteries may play a role in artery failure and tortuosity which leads to blackouts, transitory ischemic attacks, and other diseases. However, dynamic analysis of carotid arteries conveying blood is lacking. The objective of this study was to present a biomechanical model for dynamic instability analysis of the embedded carotid arteries conveying pulsating blood flow. In order to present a realistic model, the carotid arteries and tissues are assumed viscoelastic using Kelvin–Voigt model. Carotid arteries are modeled as elastic cylindrical vessels based on Mindlin cylindrical shell theory (MCST). One of the main advantages of this study is considering the pulsating non-Newtonian nature of the blood flow using Carreau, Casson, and power law models. Applying energy method, Hamilton’s principle and differential cubature method (DCM), the dynamic instability region (DIR) of the visco-carotid arteries is obtained. The detailed parametric study is conducted, focusing on the combined effects of the elastic medium and non-Newtonian models on the dynamic instability of the visco-carotid arteries. It can be seen that with increasing the tissue stiffness, the natural frequency of visco-carotid arteries decreases. The current model provides a powerful tool for further experimental investigation about arterial tortuosity.
