An exact closed-form solution is obtained for the transient response of an infinite isotropic elastic medium containing a spherical cavity subjected to torsional surface loading using the residual variable method. The main advantage of the present approach is that it eliminates the computational problems arising in the existing methods which are primarily based on Fourier or Laplace transformation techniques. Extensive numerical results for the circumferential displacements and shear stresses at various locations are presented graphically for Heaviside loadings.

Transient response of an infinite elastic medium containing a spherical cavity with and without a shell embedment
Akkas, N; Zakout, U (1997-01-01)
The analytical solution is obtained for the transient response to an axisymmetric and non-torsional surface load of an infinite, isotropic, elastic medium containing a spherical cavity with and without a thin elastic shell embedment using the Residual Variable Method. The main advantage of the present approach is that it eliminates the computational problems arising in the existing methods which are primarily based on the Fourier transformation technique. Extensive numerical results for the displacements an...
External Search Coil as a Means of Measuring Rotor Speed of an Induction Motor
Özlü Ertan, Hatice Gülçin; Keysan, Ozan (2009-07-03)
The study in this paper investigates whether the air gap harmonics can be identified by using an external search coil placed on the frame of an induction motor. For this purpose the study focuses on the prediction of rotor speed of an induction motor from external search coil emf, using spectral analysis techniques. In the first stage of the study the type of search coil which maximizes the induced emf is sought, also the position of the coil on the induced emf is investigated. Several motors are tested wit...
Dynamic response of antisymmetric cross-ply laminated composite beams with arbitrary boundary conditions
Khdeir, AA (1996-01-01)
An analytical solution of the classical, first- and third-order laminate beam theories is developed to study the transient response of antisymmetric cross-ply laminated beams with generalized boundary conditions and for arbitrary loadings. A general modal approach, utilizing the state form of the equations of motion and their biorthogonal eigenfunctions, is presented to solve the equations of motion of beams with arbitrary boundary conditions. The results obtained using the higher-order theory of Reddy (HOB...
Ultra-fast charge exchange spectroscopy for turbulent ion temperature fluctuation measurements on the DIII-D tokamak (invited)
Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; McKee, G. R. (2012-10-01)
A novel two-channel, high throughput, high efficiency spectrometer system has been developed to measure impurity ion temperature and toroidal velocity fluctuations associated with long-wavelength turbulence and other plasma instabilities. The spectrometer observes the emission of the n = 8-7 hydrogenic transition of C+5 ions (lambda(air) = 529.06 nm) resulting from charge exchange reactions between deuterium heating beams and intrinsic carbon. Novel features include a large, prism-coupled high-dispersion, v...
TRANSIENT WAVE-PROPAGATION IN LAYERED MEDIA CONDUCTING HEAT
TURHAN, D; CELEP, Z; ZAINEDDEN, IK (Elsevier BV, 1991-01-22)
Transient wave propagation in thermoelastic layered composites consisting of alternating isotropic, homogeneous and linearly elastic high-strength reinforcing and low-strength matrix layers is investigated. The layers of the composite medium can be plane, cylindrical or spherical. The inner surfaces of the composite bodies are subjected to uniform time dependent dynamic inputs. A common formulation is employed for the three types of layered media. The generalized theory of thermoelasticity is used, with the...
