Minimal compliance fastening of elastic bodies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Permitted to fasten an elastic body on but half of its boundary, which portion should be fastened in order to minimize the work done by a specified load? For both plates and planar sheets we establish the existence of a unique solution to a relaxed version of the problem and present the results of a detailed numerical investigation.

Parametric study on damage and load demand of prestressed concrete crosstie and fastening systems
There is an increasing interest in the performance and serviceability of concrete crossties and elastic fastening systems due to the loading demands of increasing freight axle loads and the development of new high-speed passenger rail infrastructure in North America. In the light of these increasing demands, it is essential to examine and improve current design practices of prestressed concrete...
متن کاملNumerical and experimental investigation of nonlinear properties of rubber absorber in rail fastening
A dynamic nonlinear model of rubber absorber in railway fastening is proposed in this paper based on a superposition principal demonstrating that the restoring force of rubber components consists of an elastic force and a damping force. In order to determine model parameters and verify the accuracy of this model, a dynamic experiment is designed. The obtained simulated results show good agreeme...

There are several factors causing fastening systems to deteriorate faster than the designed life. The high repetitive loads from a moving train being one of the main factors, track irregularities, design and installation defects of track components, non-uniform rail support stiffness, unevenness in the rail seat deterioration are some of the factors causing fastenings systems to deteriorate fas...
متن کاملDuality relations, correspondences and numerical results for planar elastic composites
This paper addresses three topics relating to planar elastic composites with anisotropic phases. First, the duality relations of Berdichevski are generalized to a wider class of planar elastic media. These yield phase interchange relations for the e ective compliance tensors of certain two phase media. Second, a simple derivation is given of the correspondence between a speci c class of planar ...
متن کاملMobility of Bodies in Contact—Part II: How Forces are Generated by Curvature Effects
This paper considers how forces are produced by compliance and surface curvature effects in systems where an object B is kinematically immobilized to second-order by finger bodies A1; ;Ak. A class of configuration-space based elastic deformation models is introduced. Using these elastic deformation models, it is shown that any object which is kinematically immobilized to first or second-order i...
