Annular Membrane

The anticipated use of a hollow linearly elastic annular membrane for designing elastic shells has provided an impetus for this paper to investigate the large deflection geometrically nonlinear phenomena of such a hollow linearly elastic annular membrane under transverse uniform loads. The so-called hollow annular membranes differ from the traditional annular membranes available in the literature only in that the former has the inner edge attached to a movable but weightless rigid concentric circular ring while the latter has the inner edge attached to a movable but weightless rigid concentric circular plate. The hollow annular membranes remove the transverse uniform loads distributed on “circular plate” due to the use of “circular ring” and result in a reduction in elastic response. In this paper, the large deflection geometrically nonlinear problem of an initially flat, peripherally fixed, linearly elastic, transversely uniformly loaded hollow annular membrane is formulated, the problem formulated is solved by using power series method, and its closed-form solution is presented for the first time. The convergence and effectiveness of the closed-form solution presented are investigated numerically. A comparison between closed-form solutions for hollow and traditional annular membranes under the same conditions is conducted, to reveal the difference in elastic response, as well as the influence of different closed-form solutions on the anticipated use for designing elastic shells.

Shape Memory Alloys (SMA) are promising materials for actuation in space applications, because of the relatively large deformations and forces that they offer. However, their complex behaviour and interaction of several physical domains (electrical, thermal and mechanical), the study of SMA behaviour is a challenging field. Present work aims at correlating the Finite Element (FE) analysis of SMA with closed form solutions and experimental data. Though sufficient literature is available on closed form solution of SMA, not much detail is available on the Finite element Analysis. In the present work an attempt is made for characterization of SMA through solving the governing equations by established closed form solution, and finally correlating FE results with these data. Extensive experiments were conducted on 0.3mm diameter NiTinol SMA wire at various temperatures and stress conditions and these results were compared with FE analysis conducted using MSC.Marc. A comparison of results from finite element analysis with the experimental data exhibits fairly good agreement.

An accurate method for reconstructing three-dimensional dynamic environment is presented, and the properties of closed-form solutions are described.

Roadway Stability

Instability of coal wall is one of the hot-button and difficult issues in the study of coal mine ground control. The shallow side coal of roadway in the coal measures is usually weak and consequently easy to bring about failure. Hence, the side abutment pressure redistributes and dramatically influences the roadway stability. Since the previous closed-form solutions of the side abutment pressure do not take into account all the necessary parameters which include the properties of the coal and the interface between coal and roof/floor, the roadway height, and the support strength, a mechanical model is established based on the equilibrium of the plastic zone, and a new closed-form solution is derived in this paper. Moreover, a numerical investigation is conducted to validate the accuracy of the closed-form solution. The numerical results of the side abutment pressure distribution are in good agreement with the closed-form solution. Afterwards, a parametric analysis of the width of the plastic zone is carried out, and the results show that the width of the plastic zone is nearly negatively linearly correlated with the friction angle and the cohesion of the coal, the interfacial cohesion, and the support strength. By contrast, it is positively linearly correlated with the roadway height and negatively exponentially correlated with the interfacial friction angle. The results obtained in the present study could be useful for the evaluation process of roadway stability.

The applications of resultants and the Bernshtein formula for the dimensional synthesis of linkage components for finite precision positions are discussed. The closed-form solutions, which are derived from systems of polynomials in multiple unknowns by applying resultant theory, are in forms of polynomial equations of a single unknown. For the case of two compatibility equations, the closed form solution is a sixth degree solution polynomial. For the case of three compatibility equations, the solution is a fifty-fourth degree solution polynomial. For each case, the Bernshtein formula is applied to calculate the number of solutions of the system of polynomial equations. The calculated numbers of solutions match the degrees of the solution polynomials for both cases.

The force between permanent magnets implemented in many engineering devices remains an intriguing problem in basic physics. The variation of magnetic force with the distance x between a pair of magnets cannot usually be approximated as x-4 because of the dipole nature and geometry of magnets. In this work, the force between two identical cylindrical magnets is accurately described by a closed-form solution. The analytical model assumes that the magnets are uniformly magnetized along their length. The calculation, based on the magnetic field exerted by one magnet on the other along the direction of their orientation, shows a reduction in the magnetic force with the distance x and a dependence on the size parameters of magnets. To verify the equation, the experiment was set up by placing two cylindrical neodymium iron boron type magnets in a vertical tube. The repulsive force between the identical upper and lower magnets of 2.5 cm in diameter and 7.5 cm in length was measured from the weight on the top of the upper magnet. The resulting separation between the magnets was recorded as x. The forces measured at x=0.004-0.037 m differ from the values calculated using the analytic solution by -0.55 % to -13.60 %. The calculation also gives rise to a practical remnant magnetic field of 1.206 T. When x is much large than the equation of force is approximated as a simple form proportional to 1/x-4. The finding can be directly used in magnetic levitation as well as applied in calculating magnetic fields and forces in other systems incorporating permanent magnets.

A typical magnetorheological (MR) flow mode damper consists of a piston attached to a shaft that travels in a tightly fitting hydraulic cylinder. The piston motion makes fluid flow through an annular valve in the MR damper. An electro-magnet applies magnetic field to the MR fluid as it flows through the MR valve, and changes its yield stress. An MR fluid, modeled as a Bingham-plastic material, is characterized by a field dependent yield stress, and a (nearly constant) postyield plastic viscosity. Although the analysis of such an annular MR valve is well understood, a closed form solution for the damping capacity of a damper using such an MR valve has proven to be elusive. Closed form solutions for the velocity and shear stress profile across the annular gap are well known. However, the location of the plug must be computed numerically. As a result, closed form solutions for the dynamic range (ratio of field on to field off damper force) cannot be derived. Instead of this conventional theoretic procedure, an approximated closed form solution for a dampers dynamic range, damping capacity and other key performance metrics is derived. And the approximated solution is used to validate a rectangular duct simplified analysis of MR valves for small gap condition. These approximated equations are derived, and the approximation error is also provided.

The Galerkin Method

The differential equation governing the motion of an electrically excited capacitive microcantilever beam is a nonlinear PDE [1]. Accurate analysis about its motion is of great importance in MEMS' dynamical response. In this paper first the nonlinear 4th order 2 point boundary value problem (ODE) governing the static deflection of the system is solved using three methods. 1. The nonlinear part is linearized and its exact solution is obtained. 2. For low applied DC voltages (not near pull-in) the solutin is found using the direct straight forward perturbation analysis. 3. Numerical computer solutions which are used for the previous solution's verifications. The next parts are devoted to the dynamic solution. The nonlinear time variant 4th order PDE governing the dynamic deflection of an electrically excited microbeam is scrutinized. First using the Galerkin Method the mode shapes and the first three mode temporal equations of the linearized equation are found. Considering no damping, using the perturbations method the temporal equations are solved in three states: far from resonance, near 1:1 resonance and near 1:2 resonance. Finally the damped equation is solved using the aforementioned method. In the literature no closed form solution for this problem is presented.

Elastic Dielectric

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.

Remarkable Progress

In recent years, due to a remarkable progress of qualified mesh generation algorithms combinedwith computational image processing technologies, a complex shaped 3D crack analysis has been carried out more and more easily by finite element method. Generally speaking, in order to assess thereliability of numerical solution, existence of a closed-form solution or a practically exact numericalsolution is important and thank-worthy. In contrast with 2D problems, however, there are very fewnumber of closed form solutions regarding to 3D crack problems. In the present analysis, we examineda highly accurate body force method (BFM) analysis for a partially cylindrical 3D surface crackin which a suitable basic density function can be supposed reasonably by taking account the crackgeometry. The present SIF solution could be used effectively for the purpose of benchmark the finiteelement solution for general non-planar crack problems.
