Eckhaus Instability

An analytical study on the Eckhaus instability of moderately nonlinear thermal Rossby waves is developed. A solvability condition of the lowest order is derived. The condition not only produces results that agree reasonably well with the earlier Galerkin formulation, but also leads to some new findings that are otherwise difficult to discover by the previous method. Over a wide range of parameters, this paper reports the existence of a branch of the stability limit that corresponds to a pair of disturbances with a finite, rather than an infinitesimal wavenumber modulation. As the Prandtl number tends to a small value, the asymmetry between the two branches of the stability limit becomes very pronounced, which is manifested as a severely distorted stability region.

Natural Characteristics

The stability, natural characteristics and critical axial force of a supported beam are analyzed. The both ends of the beam are held by the pinned supports with rotational spring constraints. The eigenvalue problem of the beam with these boundary conditions is investigated firstly, and then, the stability of the beam is analyzed using the derived eigenfuntions. According to the analytical expression obtained, the effect of the spring constants on the critical values of the axial force is discussed.

Dynamic Perturbation

A limitation in research on bolt anchoring is the unknown relationship between dynamic perturbation and mechanical characteristics. This paper divides dynamic impulse loads into engineering loads and blasting loads and then employs numerical calculation software FLAC3Dto analyze the stability of an anchoring system perturbed by an impulse load. The evolution of the dynamic response of the axial force/shear stress in the anchoring system is thus obtained. It is revealed that the corners and middle of the anchoring system are strongly affected by the dynamic load, and the dynamic response of shear stress is distinctly stronger than that of the axial force in the anchoring system. Additionally, the perturbation of the impulse load reduces stress in the anchored rock mass and induces repeated tension and loosening of the rods in the anchoring system, thus reducing the stability of the anchoring system. The oscillation amplitude of the axial force in the anchored segment is mitigated far more than that in the free segment, demonstrating that extended/full-length anchoring is extremely stable and surpasses simple anchors with free ends.

Multi-cutter turning systems bear huge potential in increasing cutting performance. In this study we show that the stable parameter region can be extended by the optimal tuning of system parameters. The optimal parameter regions can be identified by means of stability charts. Since the stability boundaries are highly sensitive to the dynamical parameters of the machine tool, the reliable exploitation of the so-called stability pockets is limited. Still, the lower envelope of the stability lobes is an appropriate upper boundary function for optimization purposes with an objective function taken for maximal material removal rates. This lower envelope is computed by the Robust Stability Computation method presented in the paper. It is shown in this study, that according to theoretical results obtained for optimally tuned cutters, the safe stable machining parameter region can significantly be extended, which has also been validated by machining tests.

The Stability

Several commonly encountered problems associated with the limit equilibrium methods of slices are discussed. These problems are primarily related to the assumptions used to render the inherently indeterminate analysis determinate. When these problems occur in the stability computations, unreasonable solutions are often obtained. It appears that problems occur mainly in situations where the assumption to render the analysis determinate seriously departs from realistic soil conditions. These problems should not, in general, discourage the use of the method of slices. Example problems are presented to illustrate these difficulties and suggestions are proposed to resolve these problems. Keywords: slope stability, limit equilibrium, method of slices, factor of safety, side force function.

The Stability

This paper concerns the thermal stability analysis of porous layer saturated by a binary fluid under the influence of mechanical vibration. The linear stability analysis of this thermal system leads us to study the following damped coupled Mathieu equations: BH¨+B(π2+k2)+1H˙+(π2+k2)−k2k2+π2RaT(1+Rsinω*t*)H=k2k2+π2(NRaT)(1+Rsinω*t*)Fε*BF¨+Bπ2+k2Le+ε*F˙+π2+k2Le−k2k2+π2NRaT(1+Rsinω*t*)F=k2k2+π2RaT(1+Rsinω*t*)H where RaT is thermal Rayleigh number, R is acceleration ratio (bω2/g), Le is the Lewis number, k is the dimensionless wave-number, ε* is normalized porosity and N is the buoyancy ratio (H and F are perturbations of temperature and concentration fields). In the follow up, the non-linear behavior of the problem is studied via a generalization of the Lorenz model (five coupled non-linear differential equations with periodic coefficients). In the presence or absence of gravity, the stability limit for the onset of stationary as well as Hopf bifurcations is determined.

The Stability

Abstract We study the linear stability of a two-phase heat pipe zone (vapor-liquid counterflow) in a porous medium, overlying a superheated vapor zone. The competing effects of gravity, condensation and heat transfer on the stability of a planar base state are analyzed in the linear stability limit. The rate of growth of unstable disturbances is expressed in terms of the wave number of the disturbance, and dimensionless numbers, such as the Rayleigh number, a dimensionless heat flux and other parameters. A critical Rayleigh number is identified and shown to be different than in natural convection under single phase conditions. The results find applications to geothermal systems, to enhanced oil recovery using steam injection, as well as to the conditions of the proposed Yucca Mountain nuclear waste repository. This study complements recent work of the stability of boiling by Ramesh and Torrance (1993).
