Elastic Gaussian wave packets in isotropic mediaActa Mechanica - Tập 71 - Trang 95-114 - 1988
A. N. Norris
The theory of Gaussian wave packet (GWP) propagation in elastic materials is developed. The GWP solutions are in the form of localized disturbances with Gaussian spatial envelopes at any instant in time. The method is explicitly time dependent, but is conceptually no more difficult than time harmonic ray theory. The equations of propagation and evolution are very similar to those of standard, elas...... hiện toàn bộ
A new possibilistic reliability index definitionActa Mechanica - Tập 210 - Trang 291-303 - 2009
Giuseppe Carlo Marano, Giuseppe Quaranta
In this work, a new and efficient definition for a reliability index is explored for real structural engineering problems. The main innovative aspect is that it is based on a possibilistic criteria instead of a probabilistic one. Its definition deals with engineering cases where uncertain parameters of basic structural reliability problems can be operatively treated as fuzzy variables. A fuzzy-bas...... hiện toàn bộ
Axisymmetric vibration of a soft elastic rod with surface tension-induced residual stressActa Mechanica - Tập 233 - Trang 2405-2413 - 2022
Guang Yang, Luqiao Qi, Ming Dai, Pengyu Pei, Cun-Fa Gao
This paper studies the axisymmetric vibration of a soft elastic rod with surface tension based on the modified Gurtin–Murdoch model. In contrast to the original Gurtin–Murdoch model (GM model) in which surface tension is treated as a finite value while the residual stress in the bulk induced by it is however treated as an infinitesimal quantity, the present modified model supposes both to be finit...... hiện toàn bộ
On the incremental plastic work and related aspects of invariance – Part IActa Mechanica - Tập 189 - Trang 1-22 - 2006
H. V. Nguyen, B. Raniecki, A. Ziółkowski
Taking for granted that the free energy function is invariant under a change of a finite strain measure and/or the reference configuration, Hill's transformation rules for selected fundamental constitutive quantities (such as tangent elastic modulus, plastic increments of total strain and work conjugate stress, the work of work-conjugate stress, the work expended in the plastic part of incremental...... hiện toàn bộ
Thermal instability of a rotating curved plate subjected to an applied magnetic fieldActa Mechanica - Tập 214 - Trang 343-356 - 2010
Chin-Tai Chen
The effect of a magnetic field on thermal instability in mixed convection flow on a heated rotating convex surface is studied in this paper. The onset position characterized by the Goertler number G
