Summary
Propagation of flexural waves in circularly cylindrical bars of anisotropic material on the basis of the exact three-dimensional theory of elasticity of small deformations is considered, the rigor of the analysis being the same as the one of the Pochhammer-Chree theory. A system of the governing equations of motion for the cylindrical orthotropy (its axis coinciding with the axis of the bar) is derived and expressed in terms of radial, tangential and axial displacement components. For a steady-state sinusoidal flexural wave the system reduces to coupled ordinary second order differential equations with a regular singular point. Solution for a transversely isotropic is obtained by means of Frobenius series method. Upon using two or three terms of the series approximate dispersion relations for isotropic material as well as for the pyrolytic graphite type material and two other types of anisotropic materials are obtained and illustrated by graphs. Higher order modes than those already known are found.
Übersicht
Die Fortpflanzung von Biegewellen in kreiszylindrischen Balken aus anisotropem Material wird auf der Grundlage der exakten dreidimensionalen Elastizitätstheorie kleiner Verformungen betrachtet. Die Strenge der hier gegebenen Untersuchungen entspricht der in der Theorie von Pochhammer-Chree. Das System der Bewegungsgleichungen wird für zylindrische Orthotropie, deren Achse mit der Balkenachse zusammenfällt, abgeleitet und durch die radialen, atngentialen und axialen Verschiebungskomponenten ausgedrückt. Das System reduziert sich im Fall einer stationären sinusförmigen Biegewelle auf gekoppelte, gewöhnliche Differentialgleichungen 2. Ordnung mit einem singulären Punkt. Lösungen für transversale Isotropie werden mit Hilfe der Reihenmethode von Frobenius abgeleitet. Unter Verwendung von zwei oder drei Gliedern dieser Reihen werden angenäherte Dispersionsbeziehungen sowohl für isotropes Material als auch für Material vom Typ pyrolytischen Graphits und für zwei andere Typen anisotropischer Materialien erhalten und graphisch dargestellt. Es werden Schwingungsformen gefunden, die von höherer Ordnung als die bisher bekannten sind.
