Laminated glass elements, which consist of stiff elastic glass layers connected with a compliant viscoelastic polymer foil, exhibit geometrically non-linear and time/temperature-sensitive behavior. In computational modeling, the viscoelastic effects are often neglected or a detailed continuum formulation typically based on the volumetric-deviatoric elastic-viscoelastic split is used for the int...

Here, we contribute to the continuing development of the quasi-wavelet (QW) model of turbulence that is currently being used in simulations of sound propagation and scattering in the turbulent atmosphere. We show that a QW model of temperature fluctuations exists for any physically reasonable temperature spectrum of isotropic homogeneous turbulence, including the widely used von Kármán spectrum...

Motivation. Understanding vector fields is integral to many scientific applications ranging from combustion to global oceanic eddy simulations. Critical points of a vector field (zeros of the field) are essential features of the data, and play an important role in describing and interpreting the flow behavior. However, vector field analysis based on critical points suffers a major drawback: the...

The results of a numerical study of the magnetic dynamo effect in cylindrical von Kármán plasma flow are presented with parameters relevant to the Madison Plasma Couette Experiment. This experiment is designed to investigate a broad class of phenomena in flowing plasmas. In a plasma, the magnetic Prandtl number Pm can be of order unity i.e., the fluid Reynolds number Re is comparable to the mag...

Abstract The influence of weights is usually ignored in the study nonlinear vibrations plates. In this paper, effect structure on vibration a composite circular plate with rigid body presented. governing equations are derived from generalized Hamilton’s principle and von Kármán theory. equilibrium configurations due to determined validated by finite element method (FEM). A model for around conf...
