The Influence of the Imperfectness of Contact Conditions on the Critical Velocity of the Moving Load Acting in the Interior of the Cylinder Surrounded with Elastic Medium

The dynamics of the moving-with-constant-velocity internal pressure acting on the inner surface of the hollow circular cylinder surrounded by an infinite elastic medium is studied within the scope of the piecewise homogeneous body model by employing the exact field equations of the linear theory of elastodynamics.It is assumed that the internal pressure is point-located with respect to the cylinder axis and is axisymmetric in the circumferential direction.Moreover,it is assumed that shear-spring type imperfect contact conditions on the interface between the cylinder and surrounding elastic medium are satisfied.The focus is on the influence of the mentioned imperfectness on the critical velocity of the moving load and this is the main contribution and difference of the present paper the related other ones.The other difference of the present work from the related other ones is the study of the response of the interface stresses to the load moving velocity,distribution of these stresses with respect to the axial coordinates and to the time.At the same time,the present work contains detail analyses of the influence of problem parameters such as the ratio of modulus of elasticity,the ratio of the cylinder thickness to the cylinder radius,and the shear-spring type parameter which characterizes the degree of the contact imperfection on the values of the critical velocity and stress distribution.Corresponding numerical results are presented and discussed.In particular,it is established that the values of the critical velocity of the moving pressure decrease with the external radius of the cylinder under constant thickness of that.

Elastic Mechanical Stress Analysis in a 2D-FGM Thick Finite Length Hollow Cylinder with Newly Developed Material Model

In this paper a new 2D-FGM material model based on Mori-Tanaka scheme and third-order transition function has been developed for a thick hollow cylinder of finite length.Elastic mechanical stress analysis is performed by utilizing the finite element method.The corresponding material,displacement and stress distributions are evaluated for different values of nr and nz.Moreover,the effects of different material property distributions on the effective stress with respect to the metallic phase volume fraction are investigated.It is demonstrated that the increase in nr and V_m leads to a significant reduction in the effective stress.Finally,it is shown that the ceramic phase rich cylinder wall has lower maximum effective stresses of which the lowest value of effective stress has been evaluated for nr=20 and nz=5.This minimum value is about half the maximum effective stress which has been evaluated for the non-FGM cylinder case（nr=nz=0.1）.

Harmonic Standing-Wave Excitations of Simply-Supported Thick-Walled Hollow Elastic Circular Cylinders:Exact 3D Linear Elastodynamic Response

The forced-vibration response of a simply-supported isotropic thick-walled hollow elastic circular cylinder subjected to two-dimensional harmonic standing-wave excitations on its curved surfaces is studied within the framework of linear elastodynamics.Exact semi-analytical solutions for the steady-state displacement field of the cylinder are constructed using recently-published parametric solutions to the Navier-Lam´e equation.Formal application of the standing-wave boundary conditions generates three parameter-dependent 66 linear systems,each of which can be numerically solved in order to determine the parametric response of the cylinder’s displacement field under various conditions.The method of solution is direct and demonstrates a general approach that can be applied to solve many other elastodynamic forcedresponse problems involving isotropic elastic cylinders.As an application,and considering several examples,the obtained solution is used to compute the steady-state frequency response in a few specific low-order excitation cases.In each case,the solution generates a series of resonances that are in exact correspondence with a unique subset of the natural frequencies of the simply-supported cylinder.The considered problem is of general theoretical interest in structural mechanics and acoustics and more practically serves as a benchmark forced-vibration problem involving a thickwalled hollow elastic cylinder.
