Overhang provides a simple but effective way of coupling (sub)structures, which has been widely adopted in the applications of optomechanics, electromechanics, mass sensing resonators, etc. Despite its simplicity, an overhanging structure demonstrates rich and complex dynamics such as mode splitting, localization and eigenfrequency veering. When an eigenfrequency veering occurs, two eigenfrequencies are very close to each other, and the error associated with the numerical discretization procedure can lead to wrong and unphysical computational results. A method of computing the eigenfrequency of two overhanging beams, which involves no numerical discretization procedure, is analytically derived. Based on the method, the mode localization and eigenfrequency veering of the overhanging beams are systematically studied and their variation patterns are summarized. The effects of the overhang geometry and beam mechanical properties on the eigenfrequency veering are also identified.

This paper describes the development of a regular hull meshing code using cubic B-Spline curves. The discretization procedure begins by the definition of B-Spline curves over stations, bow and stern contours of the hull plan lines. Thus, new knots are created applying an equal spaced subdivision procedure on defined B-spline curves. Then, over these equal transversal space knots, longitudinal B-spline curves are defined and subdivided into equally spaced knots, too. Subsequently, new transversal knots are created using the longitudinal equally spaced knots. Finally, the hull mesh is composed by quadrilateral panels formed by these new transversal and longitudinal knots. This procedure is applied in the submerged Wigley hulls Series 60 Cb=0.60. Their mesh volumes are calculated using the divergence theorem, for mesh quality evaluation.

Spectral methods have previously been applied to analyze a multitude of vibration and acoustic problems due to their high computational efficiency. However, their application to interior structural acoustics systems has been limited to the analysis of a single plate coupled to a fluid-filled cavity. In this work, a general multidomain spectral approach is proposed for the eigenvalue and steady-state vibroacoustic analyses of interior structural-acoustic problems with discontinuous boundaries. The unified formulation is derived by means of a generalized variational principle in conjunction with the spectral discretization procedure. The established framework enables one to easily accommodate complex systems consisting of both a structure assembly and a built-up cavity with moderate geometric complexities and to effectively analyze vibroacoustic behaviors with sufficient accuracy at relatively high frequencies. Two practical examples are chosen to demonstrate the flexibility and efficiency of the proposed formulation: a built-up cavity backed by an assembly of multiple connected plates with arbitrary orientations and a thick irregular elastic solid coupled with a heavy acoustic medium. Comparison to finite element simulations and convergence studies for these two examples illustrate the considerable computational advantage of the method as compared to finite element procedures.

The analysis of the hydro-elastic interactions of the covering membrane of fluid-filled cavities or containers has a main importance due to the solution of practical problems founded in engineering applications. In this paper the dynamic behaviour of the bottom membrane of a rectangular container filled with a non-viscous and incompressible fluid is analyzed. The fluid velocity potential is obtained first by applying a method of separation of variables and afterwards the pressure field is calculated with the momentum’s linearized equation. Taking into account the deformation equation for the membrane in contact with the fluid and by applying a discretization procedure to the associated generalized work equation, a system is obtained, for the calculus of the membrane frequencies of vibration. The influence of different geometrical parameters such as dimension, aspect ratio, container relative height, relative thickness as well as the fluid density on these frequencies is analysed. Validation of the method is made by comparing the results with those obtained by other authors and theories.

In this paper, a novel analytical modeling of the growth and dissolution of precipitates in substitutional alloys is presented. This model uses an existing solution for the shape-preserved growth of ellipsoidal precipitates in the mixed-mode regime, which takes into account the interfacial mobility of the precipitate. The dissolution model is developed by neglecting the transient term in the mass conservation equation, keeping the convective term. It is shown that such an approach yields the so-called reversed-growth approximation. A time discretization procedure is proposed to take into account the evolution of the solute concentration in the matrix as the phase transformation progresses. The model is applied to calculate the evolution of the radius of spherical -Al2Cu precipitates in an Al rich matrix at two different temperatures, for which growth or dissolution occurs. A comparison of the model is made, with the results obtained using the numerical solver DICTRA. The very good agreement obtained for cases where the interfacial mobility is very high indicates that the time discretization procedure is accurate.

AbstractA new fifth-order, semi-discrete central-upwind scheme with a Lax–Wendroff time discretization procedure for solving Hamilton–Jacobi (HJ) equations is presented. This is an alternative method for time discretization to the popular total variation diminishing (TVD) Runge–Kutta time discretizations. Unlike most of the commonly used high-order upwind schemes, the new scheme is formulated as a Godunov-type method. The new scheme is based on the flux Kurganov, Noelle and Petrova (KNP flux). The spatial discretization is based on a symmetrical weighted essentially non-oscillatory reconstruction of the derivative. Following the methodology of the classic WENO procedure, non-oscillatory weights are then calculated from the ideal weights. Various numerical experiments are performed to demonstrate the accuracy and stability properties of the new method. As a result, comparing with other fifth-order schemes for HJ equations, the major advantage of the new scheme is more cost effective for certain problems while the new method exhibits smaller errors without any increase in the complexity of the computations.
