Utilizing the high density gradient characteristic of shock waves and the oblique shock relation, a post-processing algorithm for two-dimensional flow field data is developed. The objective of the post-processing algorithm is to obtain specific shock wave location coordinates and calculate the corresponding <i>str</i> from flow filed data under the calibration of the oblique shock relation. Validation of this post-processing algorithm is conducted using a standard model example that can be solved analytically. Combining the concept of local shock strength with the post-processing algorithm, a local shock strength quantitative mapping approach is established for the first time. This approach enables a quantitative measure and visualization of local shock strength at distinct locations, represented by color mapping on the shock structures. The approach can be applied to post-processing numerical simulation data of two-dimensional flows. Applications to the intersection of two left-running oblique shock waves (straight shock waves), the bow shock in front of a cylinder (curved shock wave), and Mach reflection (mixed straight and curved shock waves) demonstrate the accuracy, and effectiveness of the mapping approach in investigating diverse shock wave phenomena. The quantitative mapping approach of <i>str</i> may be a valuable tool in the design of supersonic/hypersonic vehicles and the exploration of shock wave evolution.</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7109,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica Sinica","volume":"41 5","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142452903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The effects of shape parameters and detonation positions on the peak overpressure and maximum impulse of blasts lack comprehensive investigation, which is significant for the design of blast-resistant structures. In this paper, the side-length ratio of the rectangle, orientation, and detonation position of the charge are chosen as controlling parameters to investigate their influence on blast loads in the scaled distances of the gauges ranging from 0.63 to 10.54 m/kg^1/3 with well validated 3D numerical simulations. The results show that there is a large difference in the near-field spatial distribution of the blast load of the rectangular charge; if the blast load of the rectangular charge is simply evaluated with the spherical charge, the maximum peak overpressure (maximum impulse) will be underestimated by a factor of 7.46 (4.84). This must be taken seriously by blast-resistant structure designers. With the increase in the scaled distance, when the critical scaled distance is greater than 6.32 (7.38) m/kg^1/3, the influence of the charge shape on the maximum peak overpressure (maximum impulse) of the spatial blast load can be ignored. In general, the impact of detonation of the charge at the end on the maximum peak overpressure is greater compared with central detonation, but for the impact of the maximum impulse, it is necessary to pay attention to the side-length ratio of the rectangular charge and the specific detonation position on the end face. Furthermore, the structural response of steel plates placed at different azimuths under the blast load of a rectangular charge is preliminarily analyzed, and the results show that the deformation and energy of the plates are consistent with the distribution of the blast load. These analysis results provide a reference for the explosion protection design in near-field air explosions.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":7109,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica Sinica","volume":"41 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142412322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As classical protection, the beam is mounted on a vertical linear spring together with a linear damper in parallel. This is called linear isolation. To enhance isolation performance, nonlinearity is employed in the boundary. In addition, quasi-zero isolation is established based on the non-linearly enhanced one by adjusting the installation length of the horizontal spring. To discuss their performance fully and fairly, the amplitude, the acceleration, the potential energy of the beam, the input work of the excitation, the dissipation work of the beam, and the dynamics stress along the beam are investigated based on the same parameters. The comparison shows that all these isolations can protect the beam with high efficiency, even when the basement excitation is tiny. Although the linear isolation and the nonlinearly enhanced one will arouse two resonance peaks on both sides of the primary resonance of the beam without isolation, the maximum amplitudes of them are reduced a lot. But for the low frequency excitation, the quasi-zero isolation has the best performance as it drives the primary resonance to the high frequency region. The simulation shows that the beam needs a relatively soft isolation to avoid the damage caused by the shock vibration, including the quasi-zero one. In general, the quasi-zero isolation shows the best performance. The nonlinearly enhanced one is the suboptimal choice. The present work shows the capacities of three isolations for a flexible beam by the steady-state response and the shock vibration. It provides design suggestions for the isolation of flexible beams.</p><div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":7109,"journal":{"name":"Acta Mechanica Sinica","volume":"41 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142412375","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show the contact behaviors of the deformed contact surface are significantly different from that of the plane contact, which is mainly reflected in the change in the number of contact asperities and the real contact area.

The results show that in all lamellar <i>γ</i>-TiAl samples, the Shockley partial dislocation prefers to nucleate in the region between two neighboring interfaces.

While in middle and high frequencies, the internal resonances of the periodic isolator are evident especially when damping is small. This study proposes a novel aperiodic vibration isolation for improving the internal resonances control of the periodic isolator. The mechanism of the internal resonances control by the aperiodic isolator is firstly explained. For comparing the internal resonances suppression effect of the aperiodic isolator with the periodic isolator, a dynamic model combing the rigid machine, the isolator, and the flexible plate is derived through multi subsystem modeling method and transfer matrix method, whose accuracy is verified through the finite element method. The influences of the aperiodicity and damping of the isolator on the vibration isolation performance and internal resonances suppression effect are investigated by numerical analysis. The numerical results demonstrate that vibration attenuation performances of the periodic isolator and aperiodic isolator are greatly over than that of the continuous isolator in middle and high frequencies. The aperiodic isolator opens the stop bandgaps comparing with the periodic isolator where the pass bandgaps are periodically existed. The damping of the isolator has the stop bandgap widening effect on both the periodic isolator and the aperiodic isolator. In addition, a parameter optimization algorithm of the aperiodic isolator is presented for improving the internal resonances control effect. It is shown that the vibration peaks within the target frequency band of the aperiodic isolator are effectively reduced after the optimization.
