A solution of two-dimensional long waves on a beach of uniform slope is connected with that in water of constant depth, in order to yield an approximate solution for standing waves in front of a sloping dike. Wave motions are expressed in the Lagrangian description. The highest possible standing waves as well as the reflection coefficient are calculated according to the Miche's conception. Theoretical results show a good agreement with the experimental results of Murota and Yamada. It is also predicted that there is a relationship between the wave overtopping quantity and the quantity of water of standing waves above the crest height of the dike. As for the wave pressure of standing waves, a simple formula in the Eulerian description is derived for relative-dike length -t/L < 0.16 by allowing 670 error.

A model for a ‘master-slave’ two-dimensional telerobotic dynamic system with a haptic interface device is derived. The telerobotic system consists of a ‘master’ robot, which is a direct-drive robot operated by a human arm, and a ‘slave’ robot, which is an x-y type pallet located at a remote site. When the active handle of the master is moved along an arbitrary trajectory, the remote slave duplicates the motion in a constrained or unconstrained environment. The behaviour of the environment is felt by the operator through the active handle of the master. This is achieved by feeding back the disturbance and reaction forces from the environment and the loads to the active handle. Consequently, the operator gets a feel of the task being performed without being physically at the location of the task. A control scheme is devised for the telerobotic system to establish smooth communication between the master and slave robots. This control scheme integrates the dynamics of the human arm, actuators and the environment in the closed-loop system. It was shown that the experimental and the theoretical results are in good agreement and that the design controller is robust to constrained/unconstrained environments.

The performance of two-dimensional jet-flap cascades is determined experimentally. Stream deflection angles are presented as a function of the ratio of jet to mainstream momentum flux at chord spacing ratios of 0.375 and 0.75. Results obtained with conventional jet-flap airfoils (normal blowing near trailing edge) are in good agreement with published theoretical results. Tangential blowing jet-flap airfoils (tangential blowing over a rounded trailing edge) are shown to approximately double the turning effectiveness of the cascade.

The damping of flexural vibration by introduction of a layer of low-density foam or powder into a structure is investigated. First, we report on experiments in which a layer of foam attached to an aluminum beam gives rise to significant damping at frequencies high enough to induce standing waves in the foam layer. Next, we provide a simple model for such vibration in which the foam is treated as a two-dimensional elastic continuum in which waves can propagate and find that the model is in good agreement with the experiments. Then the results of experiments in which aluminum beams are filled with a low-density powder are presented. The powder-filled beams exhibit behavior qualitatively like that of the foam-filled beams, but we find that the powder can be adequately modeled as an inviscid compressible fluid.

This paper uses the special Cosserat theory of hyperelastic shells satisfying Kirchoff’s hypothesis and irrotational flow theory to model the interaction between a heavy thin elastic sheet and an infinite ocean beneath it. From a general discussion of three-dimensional motions, involving an Eulerian description of the flow and a Lagrangian description of the elastic sheet, a special case of two-dimensional travelling waves with two wave speed parameters, one for the sheet and another for the fluid, is developed only in terms of Eulerian coordinates.

Periodic-in-time systems close to two-dimensional nonlinear Hamiltonian ones are analyzed in the case when a perturbation contains nonlinear parametric terms and it is nonconservative. The existence of new regimes in the resonance zone, regular two-frequency regimes and non-regular “quasi-attractors,” is determined. The problem of transition from a resonance case to a nonresonance one for a changing detuning is solved on the basis of the analysis of shortened auto-oscillatory systems that determine the topology of the resonance zones. The theoretical results of this investigation are illustrated on a computer for a specific example. In the quasi-conservative case the numerical and analytical results are in good agreement.

The present study deals with torque and cavitation characteristics of idealized two-dimensional and axially symmetrical butterfly valves. Theoretical results obtained for the two-dimensional case are compared with the ones obtained experimentally and by a relaxation technique. Based on the results of the two-dimensional case, an approximate solution is presented for the more general and practical case of three-dimensional butterfly valves. The results are in good agreement with the actual flow tests.

The nonlinear optical properties of pepper oil are studied by diffraction ring patterns and Z-scan techniques with continuous wave beam from solid state laser at 473 nm wavelength. The nonlinear refractive index of the sample is calculated by both techniques. The sample show high nonlinear refractive index. Based on Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction integral, the far-field intensity distributions of ring patterns have been calculated. It is found that the experimental results are in good agreement with the theoretical results. Also the optical limiting property of pepper oil is reported. The results obtained in this study prove that the pepper oil has applications in nonlinear optical devices.

Abstract Natural frequencies and vibrating motions are determined in terms of the material and geometric properties of a radial tire modeled as a thin ring on an elastic foundation. Experimental checks of resonant frequencies show good agreement. Forced vibration solutions obtained are shown to consist of a superposition of resonant vibrations, each rotating around the tire at a rate depending on the mode number and the tire rotational speed. Theoretical rolling speeds that are upper bounds at which standing waves occur are determined and checked experimentally. Digital Fourier transform, transfer function, and modal analysis techniques used to determine the resonant mode shapes of a radial tire reveal that antiresonances are the primary transmitters of vibration to the tire axle.

AbstractThis paper concerns the flow of fluid exiting a two-dimensional pipe and impacting an infinite wedge. Where the flow leaves the pipe there is a free surface between the fluid and a passive gas. The model is a generalisation of both plane bubbles and flow impacting a flat plate. In the absence of gravity and surface tension, an exact free streamline solution is derived. We also construct two numerical schemes to compute solutions with the inclusion of surface tension and gravity. The first method involves mapping the flow to the lower half-plane, where an integral equation concerning only boundary values is derived. This integral equation is solved numerically. The second method involves conformally mapping the flow domain onto a unit disc in the s-plane. The unknowns are then expressed as a power series in s. The series is truncated, and the coefficients are solved numerically. The boundary integral method has the additional advantage that it allows for solutions with waves in the far-field, as discussed later. Good agreement between the two numerical methods and the exact free streamline solution provides a check on the numerical schemes.

Abstract The electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) parameters (g factor g i , and hyperfine structure constants A i , with i = x, y, z) and local structures for Cu2+ centers in M2Zn(SO4)2·6H2O (M = NH4 and Rb) are theoretically investigated using the high order perturbation formulas of these EPR parameters for a 3d 9 ion under orthorhombically elongated octahedra. In the calculations, contribution to these EPR parameters due to the admixture of d-orbitals in the ground state wave function of the Cu2+ ion are taken into account based on the cluster approach, and the required crystal-field parameters are estimated from the superposition model which enables correlation of the crystal-field parameters and hence the studied EPR parameters with the local structures of the Cu2+ centers. Based on the calculations, the Cu–H2O bonds are found to suffer the axial elongation ratio δ of about 3 and 2.9% along the z-axis, meanwhile, the planar bond lengths may experience variation ratio τ (≈3.8 and 1%) along x- and y-axis for Cu2+ center in (NH4)2Zn(SO4)2·6H2O and Rb2Zn(SO4)2·6H2O, respectively. The theoretical results show good agreement with the observed values.
