1
In a system governed by Hamilton's principle, a holonomic scleronomic mechanical system is described by n generalized coordinates q_k. The kinetic energy T is a homogeneous quadratic function of the generalized velocities. The Lagrange equations are integrated, yielding a specific integral of motion. What is this conserved quantity, if the Lagrangian does not depend explicitly on time?
Question 1
2
A thin-walled pressure vessel is fabricated from a transversely isotropic composite. The principal material directions are aligned with the hoop (1) and axial (2) directions. The vessel undergoes a proof test that induces a state of plane stress (σ_3=0). If the Tsai-Wu failure criterion is used with a tensile strength F_1t in the hoop direction, which term in the criterion's tensor polynomial is most critical for predicting failure under internal pressure, assuming linear interaction terms are negligible?
Question 2
3
A high-speed cylindrical journal bearing operates in the turbulent regime with a Reynolds number > 10^4. The modified Reynolds equation incorporating turbulent lubrication theory includes a turbulence coefficient. Which dimensionless parameter is most directly used to model the effect of turbulence on the pressure distribution via this coefficient?
Question 3
4
When designing a compliant mechanism using topology optimization with a density-based method (SIMP), and enforcing a constraint on the mean compliance (work done by external forces), what physical behavior does the optimized structure typically exhibit for a single load case with a volume constraint?
Question 4
5
In the dynamic analysis of a multi-degree-of-freedom system with proportional damping (Rayleigh damping), the damping matrix is C = αM + βK. If only the first two modal damping ratios ζ_1 and ζ_2 are specified, how are the coefficients α and β determined?
