穿透裂纹和表面半椭圆裂纹模型的失效评定曲线比较

针对弹塑性材料裂纹管道的J积分计算建立了等效穿透裂纹和表面半椭圆裂纹2种有限元模型。在等效穿透裂纹模型中应用了1／4节点单元，在表面裂纹模型中采用了线弹簧单元。用这2种模型计算J积分，分别对3个实际含裂纹管段建立了失效评定曲线。比较了2种模型的失效评定曲线和R6通用曲线的差别，指出穿透裂纹模型偏于保守，建议在油气管道断裂的工程评定中采用半椭圆表面裂纹模型。

FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS OF THE FLOW INDUCED BY ROTATING BLADES IN AN INCOMPRESSIBLE VISCOUS FLUID

Aerodynamic loads on a multi-bladed helicopter rotor in hovering flight were calculated by solving the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The rotor wake effects were accounted by the correction of local geometric angle of attack according to a free-wake modeling in addition to an empirical modification for the tip flow effect. The validity and efficiency of the present method were verified by the comparisons between numerical results and experimental data.     

Nonlinear coupled problems in dynamics of shells

The coupled system of three partial differential equations governing a flexible shallow shell dynamics is analysed. No any prior assumptions about the temperature distribution through the shell thickness are applied. The efficiency of the method used here when applied to the solution of integral-differential equations with different dimensions (three-dimensional equations related to the Kirchhoff-Love model) and of different type (heat transfer equations and the hyperbolic equations of shell theory) is demonstrated. Many computational results are reported and discussed.     

Corrosion fatigue of extruded magnesium alloys

Corrosion fatigue tests were carried out on extruded AZ31 (3% Al, 1% Zn, 0.3% Mn, Mg—the rest), AM50 (5% Al, 0.4% Mn, Mg—the rest) and ZK60 (5% Zn, 0.5% Zr, Mg—the rest) Mg alloys in air, NaCl-based and borate solutions. N_sol/N_air ratios (the relative fatigue life) were used for the analysis of the corrosion fatigue behavior of Mg alloys in various environments, where N_sol and N_air are the numbers of cycles to failure in the solution and in air, respectively. Extruded ZK60 alloy reveals very high fatigue and corrosion fatigue properties in comparison with other alloys. However, it has the lowest relative fatigue life (N_sol/N_air 10⁻³–10⁻²) or the highest sensitivity to the action of NaCl-based solutions in comparison with that of AM50 and AZ31 alloys (N_sol/N_air 10⁻²–10⁻¹). Under the same stress, the corrosion fatigue life of extruded alloys is significantly longer than that of die-cast alloys (N_sol for extruded AM50 in NaCl is two to three times longer than that of die-cast AM50).     

Applications of Level 2 BLAS in the NAG library

We describe work done to improve the performance of NAG Library routines for nonlinear equations and nonlinear least squares problems on vector-processing machines. Calls to the Level 2 BLAS routines for matrix-vector operations were introduced wherever possible, so that further efforts to tune the code could be concentrated within the Level 2 BLAS, and advantage can be taken of optimized implementations of the Level 2 BLAS when they become available. Performance measurements from a CRAY-1S, an AMDAHL VP1100, and a CDC CYBER 205 are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of this strategy.     

Computational Implementation of Asymmetric Integral Imaging by Use of Two Crossed Lenticular Sheets

We propose an asymmetric integral imaging method to adjust the resolution and depth of a three‐dimensional image. Our method is obtained by use of two lenticular sheets with different pitches fabricated under the same F/#. The asymmetric integral imaging is the generalized version of integral imaging, including both conventional integral imaging and one‐dimensional integral imaging. We present experimental results to test and verify the performance of our method computationally.     

T-stress in orthotropic functionally graded materials: Lekhnitskii and Stroh formalisms

A new interaction integral formulation is developed for evaluating the elastic T-stress for mixed-mode crack problems with arbitrarily oriented straight or curved cracks in orthotropic nonhomogeneous materials. The development includes both the Lekhnitskii and Stroh formalisms. The former is physical and relatively simple, and the latter is mathematically elegant. The gradation of orthotropic material properties is integrated into the element stiffness matrix using a “generalized isoparametric formulation” and (special) graded elements. The specific types of material gradation considered include exponential and hyperbolic-tangent functions, but micromechanics models can also be considered within the scope of the present formulation. This paper investigates several fracture problems to validate the proposed method and also provides numerical solutions, which can be used as benchmark results (e.g. investigation of fracture specimens). The accuracy of results is verified by comparison with analytical solutions.
