Abstract The present work deals with the global stability aspects of a simple two-degrees-of-freedom autonomous initially imperfect damped model, under step (conservative) loading. The proposed system is an extension of the classical limit point one firstly introduced by von Mises, with the addition of a linear rotational spring. The effect of its properties (stiffness and damping) are fully assessed and under certain combinations of the parameters involved a third possibility of postbuckling dynamic response is revealed. This is associated with a point attractor response on a stable prebuckling fixed point, although dynamic buckling has already occurred, a finding validating new relevant… More >

Abstract To investigate the solution convection in the rotational Bridgman method, both flow patterns and temperature distributions were calculated by solving three equations in 3-dimensional analysis: Navier-Stokes, continuity and energy. We focused on the relationship between ampoule rotational rate and temperature distribution in the growth solution reservoir. In the 3-dimensional model, In-Ga-Sb solution was put between GaSb seed and feed crystals, where seed and feed crystals were cylindrical in shape, and the In-Ga-Sb solution was semi-cylindrical. The ampoule rotational rate was changed in a range of 0 to 100 rpm. By increasing the ampoule rotational rate, the flow velocity in the… More >

Abstract Fully developed laminar mixed convection in inclined semicircular ducts is investigated numerically for the specific case of uniform heat input along the axial direction and uniform peripheral wall temperature, H1. The duct is considered over a variety of orientations (rotations) of its cross section, ranging from 0° (flat wall horizontally facing upward) to 180° (flat wall horizontally facing downward) with increment of 45° and a fixed inclination of its axis (with respect to the direction of gravity). In particular, the following conditions are considered: inclination α = 20°, 300 ≤ Re ≤ 1000, Pr = 4 and Gr = 1… More >

Abstract A cylindrical liquid bridge supported between two circular-shaped disks in isorotation is considered. The effect of an offset between the rotation axis and the axis of the two supporting disks (eccentricity) on the stability of the liquid bridge is investigated. In a previous work a numerical method used to determine the stability limit for different values of eccentricity was validated comparing these results with analytical and experimental results for small eccentricity values, recovering the same behavior. In this work we use the numerical method to extend the analysis to large values of the eccentricity, finding a change in the bifurcation… More >

Abstract The penetration of the reamer into the medullary cavity can be compared to a piston entering a cylinder filled with viscous fluid. When the flutes of the reamer are clogged with bone debris, fat and marrow, the piston effect is magnified and larger pressures are usually obtained. This paper considers a reamer with clogged flutes and investigates whether the rotation speed of the reamer has a significant influence on the pressure within the intramedullary cavity. The effect of reamer rotation speed on the pressure distribution within the bone is investigated numerically by solving the full three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations together with… More >

Abstract The suppression of unstable Marangoni convection in floating-zone crystal growth by magnetic fields has enjoyed over recent years a widespread use as a reliable and useful strategy. A transversal direction of the field is particularly efficient, but asymmetric zone shapes and thus segregation are induced. Counter-rotation of the feed and of the crystal rods is a common way to improve dopant homogeneity. However, its effects under magnetic fields are complex and have not yet been studied in detail. In the present analysis, three-dimensional (3D) simulations based on a finite-volume/multigrid method are used to illustrate the effects of rotation on the… More >

Abstract Employing Biot’s theory of wave propagation in liquid saturated porous media, the effect of rotation and magnetic field on wave propagation in a hollow poroelastic circular of infinite extent are investigated. An exact closed form solution is presented. General frequency equations for propagation of poroelastic cylinder are obtained when the boundaries are stress free. The frequencies are calculated for poroelastic cylinder for different values of magnetic field and rotation. Numerical results are given and illustrated graphically. The results indicate that the effect of rotation, and magnetic field are very pronounced. Such a model would be useful in large-scale parametric studies… More >

Abstract In this paper, we investigated the propagation of the rmo elastic surface waves in fibre-reinforced anisotropic general viscoelastic media of higher order ofnth order, including time rate of strain under the influence of rotation.The general surface wave speed is derived to study the effects of rotation and thermal on surface waves. Particular cases for Stoneley, Love and Rayleigh waves are discussed. The results obtained in this investigation are more general in the sense that some earlier published results are obtained from our result as special cases. Our results for viscoelastic of order zero are well agreed to fibre-reinforced materials. Comparison… More >
