    Alcuni risultati nella dinamica dei solidi elastici inestensibili

    No full text
    In this paper the Authors first formulate a very general mixed boundary-value problem for dynamics of inextensible elastic solids and they establish for this problem a theorem of uniqueness of solution in bounded and unbounded domains. Then they consider displacement boundary-value problem for which they obtain another theorem of uniqueness of solution. At last the Authors establish a reciprocal theorem for bounded and unbounded domains. © 1980 Università degli Studi di Ferrara

    General analysis of discontinuity waves in thermoviscoelastic solids of integral type

    No full text
    In this paper we study the propagation of general discontinuity waves of order N≥1 through a homogeneous anisotropic linear thermoviscoelastic solid whose heat flux vector depends upon the past history of the temperature gradient. After determining the normal speeds of propagation we state the evolution law of the discontinuities along the rays associated with the wave front. The results are independent of N. © 1991 Società Italiana di Fisica

    Stationary magnetic flow of a second grade fluid past a rotating plane: exact solutions

    No full text
    Exact solutions are given for the steady flow of a second grade fluid occupying the halfspace S past the plane z=0 uniformly rotating about a fixed normal axis (z-axis). No conditions on the sign of the material parameters characterizing the second grade fluid are imposed. The solutions are obtained in a velocity field of the form considered by Berker. Then a uniform magnetic field H_0 orthogonal to the (electrically non conducting) rotating plane is impressed. The induced magnetic field is supposed depending only on z. The results are compared with those corresponding to the Newtonian case and some numerical simulations are given

    Flow and stability of a micropolar fluid past a rotating plane

    No full text
    An exact solution is given for the steady flow of a micropolar fluid occupying the halfspace past the plane z=0 uniformly rotating about a fixed normal axis (z-axis). This solution is obtained in a velocity field of the form considered by Berker and supposing the microrotation depending only on z. The stability of this flow is then studied using the energy method. The results are compared with those corresponding to the Newtonian case and can be deduced as a limiting case, as h tends to infinity, of the solution to the problem relative to the strip of width h
