A common occurrence in the arterial system is the narrowing of arteries due to the development of atherosclerotic plaques or other types of abnormal tissue development. As these growths project into the lumen of the artery, the flow is disturbed and there develops a potential coupling between the growth and the blood flow through the artery. A discussion of the various possible consequences of this interaction is given. It is noted that very small growths leading to mild stenotic obstructions, although not altering the gross flow characteristics significantly, may be important in triggering biological mechanisms such as intimal cell proliferation or changes in vessel caliber. An analysis of the effect of an axially symmetric, time-dependent growth into the lumen of a tube of constant cross section through which a Newtonian fluid is steadily flowing is presented. This analysis is based on a simplified model in which the convective acceleration terms in the Navier-Stokes equations are neglected. Effect of growth on pressure distribution and wall shearing stress is given and possible biological implications are discussed.

In this paper Verma obtains a time‐domain solution by inverting the frequency‐domain solution given by Wait (1952). However, it has been recently pointed out by Singh (1973a) (see also Wait, 1973) that there is an error in the quasi‐static solution of Wait. Wait neglected the axially symmetric inducted electric current in the cylinder giving rise to a secondary transverse magnetic field outside (the n=0 term in the scattered wavefield). Singh (1973a) has shown that this term dominates. [It should be noted that Wait in his other works on the cylinder retains this term (e.g., Wait, 1959).] It is clear that this term would be dominant in the time‐domain also. This has been shown by Singh (1972, 1973b). Since the theoretical solution given by Verma in the paper under discussion is incomplete, his interpretation schemes are meaningless.

AbstractWe construct nonassociative quasi-stationary solutions describing deformations of Schwarzschild black holes, BHs, to ellipsoid configurations, which can be black ellipsoids, BEs, and/or BHs with ellipsoidal accretion disks. Such solutions are defined by generic off-diagonal symmetric metrics and nonsymmetric components of metrics (which are zero on base four dimensional, 4-d, Lorentz manifold spacetimes but nontrivial in respective 8-d total (co) tangent bundles). Distorted nonassociative BH and BE solutions are found for effective real sources with terms proportional to $$\hbar \kappa $$ ħ κ (for respective Planck and string constants). These sources and related effective nontrivial cosmological constants are determined by nonlinear symmetries and deformations of the Ricci tensor by nonholonomic star products encoding R-flux contributions from string theory. To generate various classes of (non) associative /commutative distorted solutions we generalize and apply the anholonomic frame and connection deformation method for constructing exact and parametric solutions in modified gravity and/or general relativity theories. We study properties of locally anisotropic relativistic, optically thick, could and thin accretion disks around nonassociative distorted BHs, or BEs, when the effects due to the rotation are negligible. Such configurations describe angular anisotropic deformations of axially symmetric astrophysical models when the nonassociative distortions are related to the outer parts of the accretion disks.

The article presents a general method for the elastodynamic analysis of planar mechanisms. It uses planar actual finite line elements (regular and irregular elements given in a companion article) and lumped mass systems to formulate the equations of motion of a mechanism. Damping coefficient matrix can incorporate time dependent viscous or coulomb damping coefficients in addition to the coefficients of velocity dependent internal damping. The forcing vector can incorporate any externally applied time dependent force or torque, inertial forces and inertial torques, any nonlinear viscous or Coulomb damping forces and torques. The matrix exponential method is introduced for the numerical solution of the equations of motion. Matrix displacement method of determining dynamic stresses using the generalized coordinate displacements is given. Elastodynamic analysis of a plane four-bar mechanism is performed for several cycles of kinematic motion, and the dynamic stresses are compared with those obtained by experiments. The method of “Critical-Geometry-Kineto-Elasto-Statics” (CGKES) is proposed for the computation of dynamic stress magnitudes making use of the critical geometry of the mechanism. It requires the analysis of a mechanism at the critical geometry position of the mechanism which is defined by the lowest fundamental frequency of the mechanism. The results predicted by the method of CGKES compares within two percent with the experimental results.

A formal solution is presented for the dynamic boundary-value problem of the axially symmetric motion of finite, Timoshenko-type, isotropic, linearly elastic, cylindrical shells with time-dependent boundary conditions of any admissible combination, acted upon by time-dependent surface tractions with specified arbitrary initial conditions, obtained by using Herrmann-Mirsky shell theory and modal acceleration method. The method is applied to a simply supported shell subject to longitudinal tensile step forces at both ends. The transient response is studied in detail and the results predicted by the improved and the classical theories are compared.
