A time-dependent quasi-one-dimensional model is developed for studying high- pressure discharges in ablative capillaries used, for example, as plasma sources in electrothermal launchers. The main features of the model are (i) consideration of ablation effects in each of the continuity, momentum and energy equations; (ii) use of a non-ideal equation of state; and (iii) consideration of space- and time-dependent ionization.

Paulino and Jin [Paulino, G. H., and Jin, Z.-H., 2001, “Correspondence Principle in Viscoelastic Functionally Graded Materials,” ASME J. Appl. Mech., 68, pp. 129–132], have recently shown that the viscoelastic correspondence principle remains valid for a linearly isotropic viscoelastic functionally graded material with separable relaxation (or creep) functions in space and time. This paper revisits this issue by addressing some subtle points regarding this result and examines the reasons behind the success or failure of the correspondence principle for viscoelastic functionally graded materials. For the inseparable class of nonhomogeneous materials, the correspondence principle fails because of an inconsistency between the replacements of the moduli and of their derivatives. A simple but informative one-dimensional example, involving an exponentially graded material, is used to further clarify these reasons.

Extensive work has been done on the vibration characteristics of perfectly periodic structures. Disorder in the periodic pattern has been found to lead to localization in one-dimensional periodic structures. It is important to understand localization because it causes energy to be concentrated near the disorder and may cause an overestimation of structural damping. A numerical study is conducted to obtain a better understanding of localization. It is found that any mode, even the first, can localize due to the presence of small imperfections.

Extensive work has been done on the vibration characteristics of perfectly periodic structures. This article reviews the different methods of analysis from several fields of study, for example solid-state physics and civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering, used to determine the effects of disorder in one-dimensional (1-D) and 2-D periodic structures. In the work examined, disorder has been found to lead to localization in 1-D periodic structures. It is important to understand localization because it causes energy to be concentrated near the disorder and may cause an overestimation of structural damping. The implications of localization for control are also examined.

The surface of soft solids carries a surface stress that tends to flatten surface profiles. For example, surface features on a soft solid, fabricated by moulding against a stiff-patterned substrate, tend to flatten upon removal from the mould. In this work, we derive a transfer function in an explicit form that, given any initial surface profile, shows how to compute the shape of the corresponding flattened profile. We provide analytical results for several applications including flattening of one-dimensional and two-dimensional periodic structures, qualitative changes to the surface roughness spectrum, and how that strongly influences adhesion.

The paper deals with the analysis of wave propagation in a general one-dimensional (1D) non-uniform waveguide featuring multiple modulations of parameters with different, arbitrarily related, spatial periods. The considered quasi-periodic waveguide, in particular, can be viewed as a model of pure periodic structures with imperfections. Effects of such imperfections on the waveguide frequency bandgaps are revealed and described by means of the method of varying amplitudes and the method of direct separation of motions. It is shown that imperfections cannot considerably degrade wave attenuation properties of 1D periodic structures, e.g. reduce widths of their frequency bandgaps. Attenuation levels and frequency bandgaps featured by the quasi-periodic waveguide are studied without imposing any restrictions on the periods of the modulations, e.g. for their ratio to be rational. For the waveguide featuring relatively small modulations with periods that are not close to each other, each of the frequency bandgaps, to the leading order of smallness, is controlled only by one of the modulations. It is shown that introducing additional spatial modulations to a pure periodic structure can enhance its wave attenuation properties, e.g. a relatively low-frequency bandgap can be induced providing vibration attenuation in frequency ranges where damping is less effective.
