Distribution of static interference pressure between a thin-wall flexible cup and a flexible shaft fluctuates heavily along the axis of the cup and is quite different from pressure distribution of common interference styles. In this article, aiming at solving distribution of static interference pressure between a thin-wall flexible cup with much thicker bottom and a hollow flexible shaft, mechanical model and mathematical model of solving the problem were built based on classic thin shell theory. Special difference is that precise special solution of bending equation of thin cylindrical shell was used to substitute the special solution which is original from bending deformation of thin cylindrical shell in no moment status. And a brand new general solution, the relational expression between bending deformation of thin wall of the cup and distribution of the static interference pressure, was obtained. Then, a method used to solve the pressure distribution was presented by solving integral equation and applying superposition principle for the first time. Through using the method to solve an example and comparing calculated results with FEM results, it was proved that the method is correct and effective.

In this paper, the dynamic stability of a thin cylindrical shell subjected to axial leakage flow is discussed. In this paper, the third part of a study of the axial leakage flow-induced vibration of a thin cylindrical shell, we focus on circumferential vibration, that is, the ovaling vibration of a shell. The coupled equations of motion between shell and liquid are obtained by using Donnell’s shell theory and the Navier-Stokes equation. The added mass, added damping and added stiffness in the coupled equations of motion are described by utilizing the unsteady fluid pressure acting on the shell. The relations between axial velocity and the unstable vibration phenomena are clarified concerning the circumferential vibration of a shell. Numerical parametric studies are done for various dimensions of a shell and an axial leakage flow.

Arteriosclerosis is such as phenomena hardening of arteries, with thickening and loss of elasticity. Previous indexes include effect of geometric and mechanical factors as the radius, the wall thickness and mechanical properties of arteries. In this study, we proposed viscoelasticity indexes formulated by thin cylindrical shell theory estimated dynamic strain, and this index was independent of wall thickness and radius of arterial vessels. To confirm the validity of these indexes, we evaluated the parameters of viscoelasticity using the latex tube with different wall thickness of blood vessel model. We measured a radius of the latex tube and an inner pressure maintained by a pulsatile pump in a mock circuit filled with the water. Estimating the parameters of elasticity using these measured values, we concluded that a proposal index was independent of the wall thickness of the artery.
