Vibration of an infinite inhomogeneous transversely isotropic viscoelastic medium with cylindrical hole

This paper investigates the influences of higher order viscoelasticity and the inhomogeneities of the transversely isotropic elastic parameters on the disturbances in an infinite medium, caused by the presence of a transient radial force or twist on the surface of a cylindrical hole with circular cross section. Following Voigt＇s model for higher order viscoelasticity, the nonvanishing stress components valid for a transversely isotropic and higher order viscoelastic solid medium have been deduced in terms of radial displacement component. Considering the power law variation of elastic and viscoelastic parameters, the stress equation of motion has been developed. Solving this equation under suitable boundary conditions, due to transient forces and twists, radial displacement and relevant stress components have been determined in terms of modified Bessel functions. The problem for the presence of transient radial force has been numerically analysed. Modulations of displacement and stresses due to different order of viscoelasticity and inhomogeneity have been graphically depicted. The numerical study of the disturbance caused by the presence of twist on the surface may be similarly done but is not pursued in this paper.

A DEVELOPMENT OF BEM TO TWO DIMENSIONAL ELASTICITY

This paper presents a new boundary integral equatiòn for two- dimensional elasticity with the stress component σ_(ij)t_it_j as one of the boundary values, where t_i is the direction cosine of the tangent on the boundary.This form of BEM has an advantage in that the stress component σ_(ij)t_it_j on the boundary can be calculated directly from the numerical solution.The present formulation for plane problems uses two kernels,the one is logarithmically singular and the other is 1/r singular.The effectiveness of the approach is also discussed through test examples.

Optimum Heating of Thick-Walled Pressure Components Assuming a Quasi-steady State of Temperature Distribution

As a result of the development of wind farms,the gas- steam blocks,which shall quickly ensure energy supply in case the wind velocity is too low,are introduced to the energy system.To shorten the start-up time of the gas-steam and conventional blocks,the structure of the basic components of the blocks are changed,e.g.by reducing the diameter of the boiler,the thickness of its wall is also reduced.The attempts were also made to revise the currently binding TRD 301 regulations,replacing them by the EN 12952-3 European Standard,to reduce the allowable heating and cooling rates of thick walled boiler components.The basic assumption,on which the boiler regulations allowing to calculate the allowable temperature change rates of pressure components were based,was the quasi- steady state of the temperature field in the simple shaped component,such as a slab,cylindrical or spherical wall.

NUMERICAL STUDY ON THE ROLE OF VORTICAL AND DIVERGENT COMPONENTS OF WIND STRESS IN ENSO CYCLE

The 1960-1991 monthly mean FSU (Florida State University)wind stress data are decomposed into a vortical and a divergent component with each of which to force the model ocean in the context of a two-layer tropical Pacific model.Evidence suggests that for the seasonal variation the ocean forcing does not produce a realistic cold tongue using either of the components and the tongue will not be effectively improved in its intensity and pattern even if the components are doubled or halved:the utilization of climatic mean wind stress(no decomposition is done of the wind stress)that contains its seasonal variation will lead to a realistic SST distribution on which is imposed,separately,the interannual anomalies of each of the components so as to get the SSTA pattern:under the action of the interannual anomaly of the vortical(divergent)component there arises qnite intense SSTA oscillation marked by noticeable ENSO periods(feeble SSTA with higher oscillation frequency for obscure ENSO periods),thereby illustrating that the roles of the two components differ from each other in the genesis of SST variation on a seasonal and an interannual basis such that a realistic cold tongue pattern follows under the joint effects on the model ocean of the two components of wind stress while rational E1 Nino/La Nina phenomena result under the forcing of an anomalous wind stress vortical component.Moreover,the divergent component is innegligible in generating a mean climatic condition of the ocean sector but of less importance compared to the vortical component in ENSO development.

Factor of safety analysis for mine pillar considering the influence of the intermediate principal stress component

Failure of mine pillars,especially in deep underground mines,significantly threatens the safety of miners and equipment.Previous studies on mine pillar stability design have used classical constitutive models that ignore the intermediate principal stress component when determining the factor of safety.In this study,we develop and implement a three-dimensional modified Hoek-Brown(HB)constitutive model that incorporates the intermediate principal stress component into the numerical simulation tool FLAC3D.Furthermore,we propose and apply a strength-reduction technique to determine a more accurate factor of safety for mine pillars.This novel approach provides a more comprehensive and realistic method for geomechanical analysis and pillar design,enhancing our understanding of pillar stability.Through numerical analysis,we illustrate the impact of the intermediate principal stress component on mine pillar plasticity.The factor of safety is calculated via the strength reduction method,revealing a substantial improvement from 1.7 with the classical HB model to 2.0 with the 3D HB model.Including the intermediate principal stress component reduces the evolution of plasticity in the mine pillar.For instance,the volume of plastic zones diminishes,and the factor of safety increases as the width-to-height ratio increases.Exemplary simulations show that ignoring the effect of the intermediate principal stress component,including underestimating safety levels,designing suboptimal pillar design,and misinterpreting in situ observations and measurements,can lead to severe consequences.

The 2-axis stress component decoupling of {100} c-Si by using oblique backscattering micro-Raman spectroscopy

With the application of strain engineering in microelectronics,complex stress states are introduced into advanced semiconductor devices.However,there is still a lack of effective metrology for the decoupling analysis of the complex stress states in semiconductor materials.This paper presents an investigation on the 2-axis stress component decoupling of{100}monocrystalline silicon(c-Si)by using oblique backscattering micro-Raman spectroscopy.A spectral-mechanical model was established,and two practicable methods for actual stress decoupling analyses were proposed.The verification experiments demonstrated the correctness and applicability of the methods proposed in this paper.
