The elastic strain waves resulting from the impact of two 3/4-in-dia 6061-T6 aluminum bars are studied experimentally and analytically. Experimental data are obtained from strain gages on the center line and outer surface of the bar, located at various distances from the impact end of the bar. Experimental data are compared to numerical results obtained from integrating the exact equations of two-dimensional motion. In general, agreement between the numerical and experimental results is very good. © 1972 by ASME.

Plates of 7075-T6 Aluminum have been folded along a major axis in pressure environments of atmospheric, 20,000 psi, and 40,000 psi. A finite element computer program is used to determine the stress state in the plates at various loads. Tension and compression tests conducted in pressure environments up to 70,000 psi were used to construct models using effective stress, effective strain, and pressure as parameters to predict the behavior of the material under various stress conditions. A prediction of the occurrence of fracture in the folded plate was possible using the computer results and the pressure dependent model. As better …
A Strain Energy Comparison Of Discrete Modeling For Vibrating Continuous Systems, S. K. Tolani, Richard Dale Rocke
A Strain Energy Comparison Of Discrete Modeling For Vibrating Continuous Systems, S. K. Tolani, Richard Dale Rocke

Lumped parameter models commonly used to describe continuous one-dimensional and Bernoulli-Elder beam vibration problems have been compared on the basis of maximum system, strain energy. The consistent mass matrix approach has been included in the comparison. Standard matrix techniques have been employed to mathematically obtain desired solutions. Closed form solutions and solutions via the models to Ike system strain energy were obtained for all systems in three dynamic states: Free vibrations, constant base acceleration, and half sine base acceleration. Behavior of the strain energy errors, in general, were found to be similar to those of the frequency root errors. © …
Magnetohydrodynamic Stability Of The Developing Laminar Flow In A Parallel-Plate Channel, T. S. Chen, T. E. Eaton
Magnetohydrodynamic Stability Of The Developing Laminar Flow In A Parallel-Plate Channel, T. S. Chen, T. E. Eaton

Linear stability of the developing laminar flow of an electrically conducting, incompressible fluid in a parallel-plate channel under a transverse magnetic field is investigated. The case of small magnetic Reynolds numbers is treated. The developing flows whose stability characteristics are studied correspond to those induced by a uniform and a parabolic velocity distribution at the channel inlet. The stability of the fully developed Hartmann flow is also reexamined. Neutral stability curves and axial variations of the critical Reynolds number are presented for a range of Hartmann numbers between 0 and 4. It is found that for Hartmann numbers larger than …
