Effect of Non-Homogeneity on Thermally Induced Vibration of Orthotropic Visco-Elastic Rectangular Plate of Linearly Varying Thickness

The analysis presented here is to study the effect of non-homogeneity on thermally induced vibration of orthotropic visco-elastic rectangular plate of linearly varying thickness. Thermal vibrational behavior of non-homogeneous rectangular plates of variable thickness having clamped boundary conditions on all the four edges is studied. For non–homogeneity of the plate material, density is assumed to vary linearly in one direction. Using the method of separation of variables, the governing differential equation is solved. An approximate but quite convenient frequency equation is derived by using Rayleigh-Ritz technique with a two-term deflection function. Time period and deflection at different points for the first two modes of vibration are calculated for various values of temperature gradients, non- homogeneity constant, taper constant and aspect ratio. Comparison studies have been carried out with non-homogeneous visco-elastic rectangular plate to establish the accuracy and versatility.

Effect of Foundation and Non-Homogeneity on the Vibrations of Polar Orthotropic Parabolically Tapered Circular Plates

The effect of Pasternak foundation and non-homogenity on the axisymmetric vibrations of polar orthotropic parabolically varying tapered circular plates has been analyzed on the basis of classical plate theory. Ritz method has been used to find the numerical solution of the specified problem. The efficiency of the Ritz method depends on the choice of basis function based upon deflection of polar orthotropic plates. The effects of different plate parameters viz. elastic foundation, non-homogeneity, taper parameter and that of orthotropy on fundamental, second and third mode of vibration have been studied for clamped and simply-supported boundary conditions. Mode shapes for specified plates have been drawn for both the boundary conditions. Convergence and comparison studies have been carried out for specified plates.

The problem considered here is the response of a non-homogeneous composite materialcontaining some cracks subjected to dynamic loading.It is assumed that the composite material is or-thotropic and all the material properties depend only on the coordinate y(along the thicknessdirection).In the analysis,the elastic region is divided into a number of plies of infinite length.Thematerial properties are taken to be constants for each ply.By utilizing the Laplace transform andFourier transform technique,the general solutions for plies are derived.The singular integral equa-tions of the entire elastic region are obtained and solved by the virtual displacement principle.Attentionis focused on the time-dependent full field solutions of stress intensity factor(SIF)and strain energyrelease rate.As a numerical illustration,the dynamic stress intensity factor of a substrate\functionallygraded film structure with two cracks under suddenly applied forces on cracks face are presented forvarious material non-homogeneity parameters.

Robust adaptive radar beamforming based on iterative training sample selection using kurtosis of generalized inner product statistics

In engineering application,there is only one adaptive weights estimated by most of traditional early warning radars for adaptive interference suppression in a pulse reputation interval(PRI).Therefore,if the training samples used to calculate the weight vector does not contain the jamming,then the jamming cannot be removed by adaptive spatial filtering.If the weight vector is constantly updated in the range dimension,the training data may contain target echo signals,resulting in signal cancellation effect.To cope with the situation that the training samples are contaminated by target signal,an iterative training sample selection method based on non-homogeneous detector(NHD)is proposed in this paper for updating the weight vector in entire range dimension.The principle is presented,and the validity is proven by simulation results.

Study the Effect of Thermal Gradient on Transverse Vibration of Non-Homogeneous Orthotropic Trapezoidal Plate of Parabolically Varying Thickness

The present paper deals with the effect of linearly temperature on transverse vibration of non-homogeneous orthotropic trapezoidal plate of parabolically varying thickness. The deflection function is defined by the product of the equations of the prescribed continuous piecewise boundary shape. The non homogeneity of the plate is characterized by taking linear variation of the Young's modulus and parabolically variation of the density of the material. The non homogeneity is assumed to arise due to the variation in the density of the plate material and it is taken as parabolically. Rayleigh Ritz method is used to evaluate the fundamental frequencies. The equations of motion, governing the transverse vibrations of orthotropic trapezoidal plates, are derived with boundary condition clamped-simply supported-clamped-simply supported. Frequencies corresponding to first two modes of vibration are calculated for the trapezoidal plate for various combinations of the parameters of the non-homogeneity, thermal gradient, taper constant and for different values of the aspect ratios and shown by figures. All The results presented here are entirely new and are not found elsewhere. Comparison can only be made for homogeneous plates, and in that cases the results have been compared with those found in the existing literatures and are in excellent agreement.

Study of Thermally Induced Vibration of Non-Homogeneous Trapezoidal Plate with Parabolically Thickness Variation in Both Directions

The present analysis demonstrates the thermal effect on vibrations of a symmetric, non-homoge- neous trapezoidal plate with parabolically varying thickness in both directions. The variation in Young’s modulus and mass density is the main cause for the occurrence of non-homogeneity in plate’s material. In this consideration, density varies linearly in one direction. The governing differential equations have been derived by Rayleigh-Ritz method in order to attain fundamental frequencies. With C-S-C-S boundary condition, a two term deflection function has been considered. The effect of structural parameters such as taper constants, thermal gradient, aspect ratio and non-homogeneity constant has been investigated for first two modes of vibration. The obtained numerical results have been presented in tabular and graphical form.

The main aim of the present work is to study the linear temperature behaviour of a non-homogeneous trapezoidal plate whose thickness varies linearly in both directions. The temperature behaviour considered linear along the length of the plate. Non-homogeneity in plate arises due to variation in density along the length of the plate. The two-term deflection function with clamped-simply supported-clamped-simply supported boundary condition is taken into consideration. The effect of structural parameters such as taper constants, thermal gradient, non-homogeneity constant and aspect ratio has been studied. Rayleigh-Ritz method is used to solve the governing differential equations and to obtain the fundamental frequencies for the first two modes of vibration. Results are presented in graphical form.

Large scale shaking table model test and analysis on seismic response of utility tunnel in non-homogeneous soil

Underground utility tunnels are the most fundamental and reliable lifeline network in urban cities,and are widely constructed throughout the world.In urban areas,most utility tunnels usually encounter the non-homogeneity of subsoil condition due to various construction effects.Studies have shown that the damage mechanism of shallow underground structures mainly depends on the inhomogeneity of the subsoil conditions.This would become a considerable factor for the stability of the underground utility tunnel structures.However,this type of research still needs to establish the vulnerable seismic design.In this study,a series of shaking table tests were conducted on non-homogenous soils to investigate the performance of seismic interaction between utility tunnels,surrounding soils and interior pipelines.The dynamic responses measured from the test account for the boundary condition of non-homogeneous soils,the internal forces,displacement of tunnel joints,the dynamic characteristics on interior pipelines and the reasonable spring stiffness with damping in the seismically isolated gas pipeline model inside the tunnel.The vulnerability of underground utility tunnel in non-homogeneous soil zone and the mechanism of the stability of interior facilities are the main topics discussed in this paper.

ELASTODYNAMIC SOLUTION OF A NON-HOMOGENEOUS ORTHOTROPIC HOLLOW CYLINDER

A theoretical method for analyzing the axisymmetric plane strainelastodynamic problem of a non-homogeneous orthotropic hollow cylinder is devel-oped. Firstly, a new dependent variable is introduced to rewrite the governing equa-tion, the boundary conditions and the initial conditions. Secondly, a special functionis introduced to transform the inhomogeneous boundary conditions to homogeneousones. By virtue of the orthogonal expansion technique, the equation with respect tothe time variable is derived, of which the solution can be obtained. The displacementsolution is finally obtained, which can be degenerated in a rather straightforward wayinto the solution for a homogeneous orthotropic hollow cylinder and isotropic solidcylinder as well as that for a non-homogeneous isotropic hollow cylinder. Using thepresent method, integral transform can be avoided and it can be used for hollow cylin-ders with arbitrary thickness and subjected to arbitrary dynamic loads. Numericalresults are presented for a non-homogeneous orthotropic hollow cylinder subjected todynamic internal pressure.

The problem of the creeping flow through a spherical droplet with a non-homogenous porous layer in a spherical container has been studied analytically.Darcy’s model for the flow inside the porous annular region and the Stokes equation for the flow inside the spherical cavity and container are used to analyze the flow.The drag force is exerted on the porous spherical particles enclosing a cavity,and the hydrodynamic permeability of the spherical droplet with a non-homogeneous porous layer is calculated.Emphasis is placed on the spatially varying permeability of a porous medium,which is not covered in all the previous works related to spherical containers.The variation of hydrodynamic permeability and the wall effect with respect to various flow parameters are presented and discussed graphically.The streamlines are presented to discuss the kinematics of the flow.Some previous results for hydrodynamic permeability and drag forces have been verified as special limiting cases.

Under sufficient conditions, we show that there exists a positive number λ* such that the problem has at least one positive solution for 0 < λ < λ and no solution for λ > λ*. The proof is based on the Schauder fixed point theorem and upper-lower technics.
