Hydromagnetic stability of plane Poiseuille flow of an Oldroyd fluidActa Mechanica - Tập 143 - Trang 155-164 - 2000
R. N. Ray, A. Samad, T. K. Chaudhury
The linear stability of plane Poiseuille flow of a conducting Oldroyd liquid in the presence of a transverse magnetic field is studied. The fourth-order Orr-Sommerfeld equation governing the stability analysis in this case is solved numerically by a spectral method.
Computation of the bounds on the elastic moduli of a fiber-reinforced composite by Monte Carlo simulationsActa Mechanica - Tập 217 - Trang 257-267 - 2010
Chun-Ron Chiang
Bounds on the effective elastic moduli of a fiber-reinforced composite are studied. The composite is composed of infinitely long, parallel, equal-sized circular cylinders (fibers) randomly embedded in a matrix. Based on the variational principles and by employing the cylindrical inclusion solutions as trial functions, the bounds are determined through Monte Carlo simulations. Comparisons are made ...... hiện toàn bộ
Torsion of compound cross-sections with imperfect interfaceActa Mechanica - Tập 152 - Trang 139-163 - 2001
T. Chen, Y. Benveniste, P. C. Chuang
The Saint-Venant torsion problem of compound sections with imperfect interfaces is studied. Two kinds of an imperfect interface are considered: an imperfect interface which models a thin interphase of low shear modulus and an interface which models a thin interphase of high shear modulus. At the former kind, the tractions are continuous but the warping displacement undergoes a discontinuity; at th...... hiện toàn bộ
A nonlinear hyperbolic free boundary value problemActa Mechanica - Tập 81 - Trang 221-226 - 1990
R. Fazio
The present paper is concerned with the application of a non-iterative transformation method to the numerical solution of a nonlinear hyperbolic free boundary value problem. Making use of the similarity analysis approach to the hyperbolic model describing time dependent velocity impact to nonlinear inhomogeneous thin rods we recover a free boundary value problem. Since exact solutions are known on...... hiện toàn bộ
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
High-order lubrication theory in channels and tubes with variable geometryActa Mechanica - Tập 233 - Trang 4063-4081 - 2022
Kostas D. Housiadas, Christos Tsangaris
Lubrication theory is used widely due to its simplicity and accuracy in many circumstances such as for the modeling of thin fluid films, the motion of particles near surfaces, and the flow in narrow geometries and configurations. Here, we present an extension to the classical lubrication theory to study the laminar flow of an incompressible and highly viscous simple Newtonian fluid in microfluidic...... hiện toàn bộ
