The preparatory work of the preceding technical note is followed up by deriving the elastic stiffness and the initial load vector of an arbitrary TRIAX 6 element subject to an axisymmetric state of stress or strain.

The investigation of axisymmetric states of stress by the matrix displacement method may, in principle, be carried out as an ordinary exercise of three-dimensional analysis, using TETRA 4, TETRA 10 or other suitable elements. However, this approach is clearly not the most efficient by not taking advantage ab initio of the inherent simplifications arising in an axisymmetric state; this leads to an unnecessary inflation of the number of unknowns and complexity of the mesh. A number of techniques to deal with this limiting condition of a three-dimensional state have been developed at the ISD. The theory for one specific element, TRIAX 6 which evolves most naturally from the tapered TRIM 6 element analysed in the preceding note 8 is presented.

This paper considers the mixing of a turbulent radial wall jet with a secondary fluid introduced into the impingement area of the wall jet so as to form a steady axisymmetric state. Similarity of the concentration profiles perpendicular to the wall has been assumed and, by solving the momentum and mass flow equations, the concentration distribution through the layer and a similarity exponent giving the variation of concentration along the wall have been determined.

The force-free approximation is a very useful method in studies of the global electromagnetic structure of the magnetospheres around the relativistic astronomical bodies. However, its application has almost been restricted to the stationary and axisymmetric configuration. In this work, we remove this restriction and construct a general method for treating the force-free electromagnetic field.

A study is presented of the post-buckling behaviour and imperfection sensitivity of complete spherical shells subject to uniform external pressure. The study builds on and extends the major contribution to spherical shell buckling by Koiter in the 1960s. Numerical results are presented for the axisymmetric large deflection behaviour of perfect spheres followed by an extensive analysis of the role axisymmetric imperfections play in reducing the buckling pressure. Several types of middle surface imperfections are considered including dimple-shaped undulations and sinusoidal-shaped equatorial undulations. Buckling occurs either as the attainment of a maximum pressure in the axisymmetric state or as a non-axisymmetric bifurcation from the axisymmetric state. Several new findings emerge: the abrupt mode localization that occurs immediately after the onset of buckling, the existence of an apparent lower limit to the buckling pressure for realistically large imperfections, and comparable reductions of the buckling pressure for dimple and sinusoidal equatorial imperfections.
