Dynamics of the Moving Ring Load Acting in the System “Hollow Cylinder + Surrounding Medium” with Inhomogeneous Initial Stresses

This paper studies the influence of the inhomogeneous initial stress state in the system consisting of a hollow cylinder and surrounding elastic medium on the dynamics of the moving ring load acting in the interior of the cylinder. It is assumed that in the initial state the system is compressed by uniformly distributed normal forces acting at infinity in the radial inward direction and as a result of this compression the inhomogeneous initial stresses appear in the system. After appearance of the initial stresses, the interior of the hollow cylinder is loaded by the moving ring load and so it is required to study the influence of the indicated inhomogeneous initial stresses on the dynamics of this moving load. This influence is studied with utilizing the so-called three-dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in elastic bodies with initial stresses. For solution of the corresponding mathematical problems, the discrete-analytical solution method is employed and the approximate analytical solution of these equations is achieved. Numerical results obtained within this method and related to the influence of the inhomogeneous initial stresses on the critical velocity of the moving load and on the response of the interface stresses to this load are presented and discussed. In particular, it is established that the initial inhomogeneous initial stresses appearing as a result of the action of the aforementioned compressional forces cause to increase the values of the critical velocity of the moving load.     

Dispersion of Axisymmetric Longtudinal Waves in a Pre-Strained Imperfectly Bonded Bi-Layered Hollow Cylinder

This paper studies the dispersion of the axisymmetric longitudinal wave propagation in the pre-strained hollow cylinder consisting of two-layers under the shear-spring type imperfectness of the contact conditions between these layers. The investigations are made within the framework of the piecewise homogeneous body model by utilizing the 3D linearized theory of elastic waves in elastic bodies with initial stresses. It is assumed that the layers of the cylinder are made from compressible hyper-elastic materials and their elasticity relations are given through the harmonic potential. The degree of the mentioned imperfectness is estimated by the shear-spring parameter. Numerical results on the influence of this parameter on the behavior of the dispersion curves related to the fundamental mode are presented and discussed. It is established that the considered type imperfectness of the contact conditions causes two branches of the dispersion curve related to the fundamental mode to appear: the first disappears, but the second approaches the dispersion curve obtained for the perfect interface case by decreasing the shear-spring parameter.     

Generalized RayleighWave Dispersion Analysis in a Pre-stressed Elastic Stratified Half-space with Imperfectly Bonded Interfaces

Within the framework of the piecewise homogeneous body model the influence of the shear-spring type imperfect contact conditions on the dispersion relation of the generalized Rayleigh waves in the system consisting of the initially stressed covering layer and initially stressed half plane is investigated. The second version of the small initial deformation theory of the three-dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed bodies is applied and the elasticity relations of the materials of the constituents are described by the Murnaghan potential. The magnitude of the imperfectness of the contact conditions is estimated through the shear-spring type parameter. Consequently, the influence of the imperfectness of the contact conditions on the generalized Rayleigh wave propagation velocity is studied through the influence of the values of this parameter. Numerical results on the action of the imperfectness of the contact conditions and the influence of the initial stresses in the constituents on the wave dispersion curves are presented and discussed. In particular, it is established that the magnitude of action of the imperfectness of the contact conditions under the influence of the initial stresses on the wave propagation velocity cannot be limited with corresponding ones obtained in the case where the contact between the constituents is complete and in the case where this contact is full slipping one. The possible application of the obtained results on the geophysical and geotechnical engineering is also discussed.     

Coupled thermoelasticity and second sound in finite length functionally graded thick hollow cylinders (without energy dissipation)

In this article, the coupled thermoelasticity behavior of functionally graded thick hollow cylinders is studied. The governing coupled thermoelasticity and the energy equations are solved for a finite length functionally graded cylinder subjected to thermal shock load. The coupled thermoelastic equations are considered based on Green–Naghdi theory. The mechanical properties of cylinder are graded across the thickness as a power law function of radius. The cylinder is assumed to be made of many isotropic sub-cylinders (layers) across the thickness. Functionally graded properties are created by suitable arrangement of layers and governing equations are expanded in longitudinal direction by means of trigonometric function expansion. The Galerkin Finite Element and Newmark Methods are used to analyze the cylinder. The dynamic behavior of temperature distribution, mechanical displacement and thermal stresses is obtained and discussed. The second sound and elastic wave propagation are determined for various kinds of variation in the mechanical properties. The comparison of present results with published data shows the excellent agreement.

Dynamic response of an FGM cylindrical shell under moving loads

This paper presents an analytical study on the dynamic behavior of the infinitely-long, FGM cylindrical shell subjected to combined action of the axial tension, internal compressive load and ring-shaped compressive pressure with constant velocity. It is assumed that the cylindrical shell is a mixture of metal and ceramic that its properties changes as a function of the shell thickness.

Thermo-contact mechanics of a rigid cylindrical punch sliding on a finite graded layer

A steady-state thermo-contact model of a rigid insulated cylinder of radius R sliding on a finite graded elastic layer is studied, whose Young’s modulus, thermal conductivity coefficient and thermal expansion coefficient vary exponentially in the thickness direction. The transfer matrix method and Fourier integral transform technique are used to obtain a Cauchy-type singular integral equation for the contact stresses. Numerical calculation yields the interface traction and temperature distributions below the rigid punch. It shows that crack damage in the finite graded layer due to the frictional sliding can be prevented by several alternative ways, such as decreasing the shear modulus ratio of the surface to the bottom, decreasing the friction coefficient, increasing the thickness of the finite graded layer, increasing the thermal conductivity coefficient ratio of the surface to the bottom or increasing the sliding velocity. The finding should be very useful for the design of novel graded materials with potential applications in aerospace, tribology, coatings, etc.

The paper develops and employs analytical-numerical solution method for the study of the time-harmonic dynamic stress field in the system consisting of the hollow cylinder and surrounding elastic medium under the non-axisymmetric forced vibration of this system. It is assumed that in the interior of the hollow cylinder the point-located with respect to the cylinder axis, non-axisymmetric with respect to the circumferential direction and uniformly distributed time-harmonic forces act. Corresponding boundary value problem is solved by employing of the exponential Fourier transformation with respect to the axial coordinate and by employing of the Fourier series expansion of these transformations. Numerical results on the frequency response of the interface normal stresses are presented and discussed.     

Dynamics of the Moving Load Acting on the Hydro-elastic System Consisting of the Elastic Plate,Compressible Viscous Fluid and RigidWall

The subject of the paper is the study of the dynamics of the moving load acting on the hydro-elastic system consisting of the elastic plate, compressible viscous fluid and rigid wall. Under this study the motion of the plate is described by linear elastodynamics, and the motion of the compressible viscous fluid is described by the linearized Navier-Stokes equations. Numerical results are obtained for the case where the material of the plate is steel, but the fluid material is Glycerin. According to these results, corresponding conclusions related to the influence of the problem parameters, such as fluid viscosity, plate thickness, fluid depth, fluid compressibility and initial stresses on the inter-phase normal stress and normal and tangent velocities of the fluid caused by the load which moves with constant velocity, are made. In particular, it is established that the influence of the fluid viscosity of the aforementioned quantities becomes more considerable under lower velocities of the moving load. Moreover, it is established that there exists a critical velocity of the moving load under which a resonance type event takes place.     

Forced Vibration of the Pre-Stressed and Imperfectly Bonded Bi-Layered Plate Strip Resting on a Rigid Foundation

Within the scope of the piecewise homogeneous body model with utilizing of the three dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed bodies the influence of the shear-spring type imperfection of the contact conditions between the layers of the pre-stressed bi-layered plate strip resting on the rigid foundation, on the frequency response of this plate strip is investigated. The corresponding mathematical problem is solved numerically by employing FEM and numerical results illustrating the influence of the parameter characterizing the degree of the mentioned imperfectness, on the frequency response of the normal stress acting on the interface planes between the layers and between the plate and rigid foundation are presented and discussed. In particular, it is established that an increase in the value of the shear-spring parameter the absolute values of the compressed normal stress decrease, but the values of the stretched normal stress increase and this parameter has an influence also on the character of the action of the initial stresses on the frequency response under consideration.

A numerical study of contact damage and stress phenomena in curved porcelain/glass-filled polymer bilayers

Finite Element Analysis is used to examine contact damage induced by Hertzian indentation of a porcelain coating on a glass-filled polymeric substrate. Different forms of cracking in the porcelain coating are studied –“Hertzian” cone cracks close to the indenter, more distant “outer” cone cracks, and “radial” cracking at the coating/substrate interface. The effects of porcelain coating thickness and radius of curvature on the critical stresses for initiation of these cracks are examined. The predicted critical load curves suggest that for systems with compliant substrates (relative to the coating) with a given radius of curvature, there is an optimum porcelain coating thickness that maximises the critical load for cone cracking. Conversely, for a given coating thickness, the effects of curvature vary significantly – for thinner coatings, where outer cone cracks are dominant, highly convex surfaces are more resistant to cracking, whereas for thicker coatings, which are more prone to Hertzian cone cracking, concave surfaces produce a higher predicted critical load. Curvature is observed to have little effect on the critical load for the formation of radial cracks, which remains the dominant mode of failure in cases of thin coatings on compliant substrates.     

Axisymmetric contact problem for an elastic layer and an elastic foundation

This paper is concerned with the axisymmetric problem of an elastic layer lying on a semi-infinite foundation. The layer is pressed against the foundation by a uniform clamping pressure applied over its entire surface and a uniform vertical body force due to the effect of gravity. In addition, an axisymmetric vertical line load is applied to the layer. It is assumed that the contact between the layer and the foundation is frictionless and that only compresive normal tractions can be transmitted through the interface. The contact along the interface will be continuous if the value of the line load is less than a critical value. However, interface separation takes place if it exceeds this critical value. The problem is formulated and solved for the cases of tensile and compressive line loads. Numerical results for contact stress distributions are given for different material combinations.     

On the stability of a Timoshenko beam on an elastic foundation under a moving spring-mass system

Summary The stability problem of densely distributed oscillators moving along a Timoshenko beam on an elastic foundation is considered. The forward speed of the moving subsystem is assumed to be constant. The friction at the contact line between the beam and the oscillator set is neglected. A qualitatively new instability region is found. It is pointed out that the critical velocity for some system parameters takes smaller values than the velocity of shear waves or the velocity of longitudinal waves.With 8 Figures     

Dynamical (time-harmonic) axisymmetric interface stress field in the finite pre-strained half-space covered with the finite pre-stretched layer

Within the framework of the piecewise homogeneous body model with the use of the three-dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed bodies (TLTEWISB), the dynamical (time-harmonic) stress field in the initially finite strained half-space covered with an initially and finitely stretched layer is investigated. It is assumed that on the upper free face of the covering layer the point located force which acts is harmonic with respect to time. The corresponding boundary contact problem is solved by employing the Hankel integral transformation. Moreover, it is assumed that the material of the layer and half-space are incompressible and elastic relations for those are given through the Treloar’s potential. In the case where the initial strains are absent in the layer and half-space the considered problem formulation and solution to that coincide with the corresponding ones of the classical linear theory of elasticity for an incompressible body. The algorithm for obtaining numerical results is proposed. The numerical results regarding the stresses acting on the interface plane are presented. These results are obtained for the case where the stiffness (distortion wave velocity) of the covering layer material is less (greater) than that for the half-space material. In this case, the main attention is focused on the dependencies between the values of the stresses and frequency of the external force and also the influence of the initial strains on these dependencies. In particular, it is established that the “resonance” values of the frequency of the external force increase, but the absolute maximum values of the stresses decrease significantly with the amount of the initial tension of the covering layer.     

Analytical solution of the dynamic behavior of non-homogenous orthotropic cylindrical shells on elastic foundations under moving loads

An analytical study on the dynamic behavior of an infinitely long, non-homogenous orthotropic cylindrical shell resting on elastic foundations subjected to combined action of the axial tension, internal compressive load and ring-shaped compressive pressure with constant velocity is presented. The problem is studied on the basis of the theory of vibrations of cylindrical shells. Formulas are derived for the maximum static and dynamic displacements, dynamic factors and critical velocity for homogenous and non-homogenous orthotropic cylindrical shells on Winkler or Pasternak elastic foundations and subjected to moving loads. A parametric study is conducted to demonstrate the effects of various parameters, such as Winkler or Pasternak foundations, the non-homogeneity and orthotropy of materials, the radius-to-thickness ratio and the velocity of the moving load on the dynamic displacements, dynamic factors and critical values of the velocity for cylindrical shells.     

Buckling of a functionally graded coated solid subjected to sliding contact loading

This paper investigates the buckling of a bi-layered material with functionally graded coating including a pre-existing interface crack. In order to investigate this phenomenon which is of particular interest to the tribological community, the stresses due to sliding cylindrical loading were determined. Solutions for stresses are obtained by use of Fourier transform technique. These stress fields under such loading are strongly affected by various parameters such as friction coefficient, indenter tip radius, film thickness, etc. Therefore, to assess the coating strength reliably, the mechanical stress field developed by mixed normal and tangential surface pressure was analyzed by considering the affected parameters. The mechanical properties of the FG coating are assumed to vary exponentially through the thickness. On the basis of stress analysis, a satisfactory framework was developed to study the buckling of FG coatings. An interface crack was assumed to model the actually occurring flaws in such coated systems, and the critical buckling stress was obtained.     

Image force and stability of a screw dislocation inside a coated cylindrical inhomogeneity with interface stresses

The image force and stability of a screw dislocation inside a coated cylindrical inhomogeneity with interface stresses are analyzed. A three-phase composite cylinder model is utilized to study the issues. The stress boundary condition at the interface of the coating layer is modified by incorporating surface/interface stress. The analytical solution of complex functions of the inhomogeneity, the coating layer, and the infinite matrix is derived by means of the complex variable method. With the aid of the obtained stress fields and the Peach–Koehler formula, the explicit expression of the image force acting on the screw dislocation is obtained. The critical radius of the inhomogeneity where the screw dislocation stays is evaluated. The influence of the interface stresses on the image force and the critical radius of the inhomogeneity is derived. The results indicate that the negative interface stresses attract the dislocation, and the positive interface stresses repel the dislocation. The critical radius of inhomogeneity will increase for considering the negative interface stresses and will decrease for considering the positive interface stresses.     

Variational approach to the analysis of steady‐state thermo‐elastic wear regimes

A transient wear process on frictional interface of two thermo‐elastic bodies in a relative steady sliding motion induces shape evolution of contact interface and tends to a steady state for which the wear process occurs at fixed contact stress and strain distribution. The temperature field generated by frictional and wear dissipation on the contact surface is assumed to reach a steady state. This state is assumed to correspond to minimum of the wear dissipation power and the temperature field corresponds to maximum of the heat entropy production. The stationarity conditions of the response functionals provide the contact pressure distribution and the corresponding temperature field. The present approach extends the authors previous analyses of optimal or steady‐state contact shapes by accounting for coupled wear and thermal distortion effects. The wear rule is assumed as a non‐linear relation of wear rate to shear stress and relative sliding velocity. The analysis of disk and drum brakes is presented with account for thermal distortion effect. It is shown that the contact shape in a steady thermo‐elastic state essentially differs from that specified for mechanical loading with neglect of thermal effects. The thermal instability regimes are not considered in the paper. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Dynamics of elastically connected double-functionally graded beam systems with different boundary conditions under action of a moving harmonic load

This paper studies the dynamic responses of an elastically connected double-functionally graded beam system (DFGBS) carrying a moving harmonic load at a constant speed by using Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. The two functionally graded (FG) beams are parallel and connected with each other continuously by elastic springs. Six elastically connected double-functionally graded beam systems (DFGBSs) having different boundary conditions are considered. The point constraints in the form of supports are assumed to be linear springs of large stiffness. It is assumed that the material properties follow a power-law variation through the thickness direction of the beams. The equations of motion are derived with the aid of Lagrange’s equations. The unknown functions denoting the transverse deflections of DFGBS are expressed in polynomial form. Newmark method is employed to find the dynamic responses of DFGBS subjected to a concentrated moving harmonic load. The influences of the different material distribution, velocity of the moving harmonic load, forcing frequency, the rigidity of the elastic layer between the FG beams and the boundary conditions on the dynamic responses are discussed.
