Convective instabilities in nematics caused by an elliptical shear
2014 A nematic liquid crystal, oriented homeotropically (n//z) between two parallel plates (~ z) in relative motion x = x0 sin 03C9t on one plate, y = y0 cos 03C9t on the other one, exhibits a sequence of convective instabilities for increasing values of a dimensionless parameter N proportional to x0 y0 03C9. Above a first critical number Nc1, parallel convection rolls establish through the sam...
متن کاملDynamics of nonlinear rectangular plates subjected to an orbiting mass based on shear deformation plate theory
In this paper, transverse and longitudinal vibration of nonlinear plate under exciting of orbiting mass is considered based on first-order shear deformation theory. The nonlinear governing equation of motion are discretized by the finite element method in combination with Newmark’s time integration scheme under von Karman strain-displacement assumptions. For validation of method and formulation...
متن کاملAn Elasticity Solution for Static Analysis of Functionally Graded Curved Beam Subjected to a Shear Force
In this paper, using 2-D theory of elasticity, a closed-form solution is presented for stressdistributions and displacements of a FG curved beam under shear force at its free end. The materialproperties are assumed to vary continuously through the radial direction based on a simple power lawmodel and Poisson’s ratio is supposed to be constant. In order to verify the solution, it is shown that a...
متن کاملOn stably stratified homogeneous shear flows subjected to rotation
Theoretical aspects of modeling stratified turbulent flows subjected to rotation are considered. The structural equilibrium behavior of second-moment closure (SMC) models is explored, guided by bifurcation analysis. It is shown that the ability of the models to predict a critical gradient Richardson number in the absence of system rotation Ri g ≈ 0.25 is largely dependent on the model for the p...
متن کاملCompliance of a microfibril subjected to shear and normal loads.
Many synthetic bio-inspired adhesives consist of an array of microfibrils attached to an elastic backing layer, resulting in a tough and compliant structure. The surface region is usually subjected to large and nonlinear deformations during contact with an indenter, leading to a strongly nonlinear response. In order to understand the compliance of the fibrillar regions, we examine the nonlinear...
