The edge wave on an elastically supported Kirchhoff plate.
This Letter deals with an analysis of bending edge waves propagating along the free edge of a Kirchhoff plate supported by a Winkler foundation. The presence of a foundation leads to a non-zero cut-off frequency for this wave, along with a local minimum of the associated phase velocity. This minimum phase velocity corresponds to a critical speed of an edge moving load and is analogous to that i...
متن کاملOn the Lift-off Constant for Elastically Supported Plates
In this paper we continue the study begun by Kawohl and Sweers of the precise constant at which the elastic foundation supporting a bending plate can allow lift-off in the case of downward loading. We provide a number of numerical results and a rigorous result on a different counterexample than the one suggested in Kawohl and Sweers (2002). Important open problems are summarized at the conclusion.
متن کاملEffective spring constants for the elastically coupled insertions in membranes
Membrane-spanning peptides such as the ion channel gramicidin dimer, cause membrane deformation which contribute significantly to both the energetics of the insertion and the membrane-mediated interaction between the channels. Recently, interest in this field shifted from study of individual channels to study of collective effects in channel kinetics. Here we discuss an efficient way to describ...
متن کاملEstimates of Europa’s Ice Shell Thickness from Elastically-supported Topography
The thickness of Europa’s solid ice shell is uncertain, and has important implications for Europa’s habitability and thermal history. Here we obtain an estimate for the ice shell thickness from observations of a plateau SW of Cilix impact crater (3◦N, 182◦W ). A shell thickness of ≈ 25 km is compatible with our observations; a conservative lower bound is 6 km. Fig 1 shows a Galileo image of the...
متن کاملSpecific Features of Aerodynamic Journal Bearings with Elastically Supported Pads
Aerodynamic bearings with elastically supported tilting pads have operational properties comparable with widely-used foil journal bearings. They combine the excellent stability of tilting pad bearings, as a result of very small cross-coupling stiffness terms, with the positive properties of foil bearings, namely their ability to adapt to changing operating conditions and presence of additional ...
