PrefaceShort Bibliographical Presentation of Prof. Isaac Elishakoff

This book is dedicated to Prof. Isaac Elishakoff by his colleagues, friends and former students, on the occasion of his seventy-fifth birthday.

Figure P.1.Prof. Isaac Elishakoff

Prof. Isaac Elishakoff is an international leading authority across a broad area of structural mechanics, including dynamics and stability, optimization and anti-optimization, probabilistic methods, analysis of structures with uncertainty, refined theories, functionally graded material structures, and nanostructures. He was born in Kutaisi, Republic of Georgia, on February 9, 1944.

Figure P.2.Elishakoff in middle school in the city of Sukhumi, Georgia

Elishakoff holds a PhD in Dynamics and Strength of Machines from the Power Engineering Institute and Technical University in Moscow, Russia (Figure P.4 depicts the PhD defense of Prof. Isaac Elishakoff).

Figure P.4.Public PhD defense, Moscow Power Engineering Institute and State University; topic “Vibrational and Acoustical Fields in the Circular Cylindrical Shells Excited by Random Loadings”, and dedicated to the evaluation of noise levels in TU-144 supersonic aircraft

His supervisor was Prof. V. V. Bolotin (1926–2008), a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Figure P.5 shows Elishakoff with Bolotin some years later).

Figure P.5.Elishakoff with Bolotin (middle), member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and Prof. Yukweng (Mike) Lin (left), member of the US National Academy of Engineering. Photo taken at Florida Atlantic University during a visit from Bolotin

Currently, Elishakoff is a Distinguished Research Professor in the Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering at Florida Atlantic University. Before joining the university, he taught for one year at Abkhazian University, Sukhumi in the Republic of Georgia, and 18 years at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa, where he became the youngest full professor at the time of his promotion (Figure P.6 shows Elishakoff presenting a book to Prof. Josef Singer, Technion’s former president).

Figure P.6.Prof. Elishakoff presenting a book to Prof. J. Singer, Technion’s President; right: Prof. A. Libai, Aerospace Engineering Department, Technion

Elishakoff has lectured at about 200 meetings and seminars, including about 60 invited, plenary or keynote lectures, across Europe, North and South America, the Middle East and the Far East.

Prof. Elishakoff has made vital and outstanding contributions in a number of areas in structural mechanics. In particular, he has analyzed random vibrations of homogeneous and composite beams, plates and shells, with special emphasis on the effects of refinements in structural theories and cross-correlations. Free structural vibrations have been tackled using a non-trivial generalization of Bolotin’s dynamic edge effect method. Nonlinear buckling has been investigated using a novel method, incorporating experimental analysis of imperfections. As a result, the fundamental concept of closing the gap – spanning the entire 20th century – between theory and practice in imperfection-sensitive structures has been proposed. Novel methods of evaluating structural reliability have been proposed, taking into account the error associated with various low-order approximations, as well as human error; innovative generalization of the stochastic linearization method has been advanced. A non-probabilistic theory for treating uncertainty in structural mechanics has been established. Dynamic stability of elastic and viscoelastic structures with imperfections has been studied. An improved, non-perturbative stochastic finite element method for structures has been developed. The list of Elishakoff’s remarkable research achievements goes on.

His research has been acknowledged by many awards and prizes. He is a member of the European Academy of Sciences and Arts, a Fellow of the American Academy of Mechanics and ASME, and a Foreign Member of the Georgian National Academy of Sciences. Elishakoff is also a recipient of the Bathsheva de Rothschild prize (1973) and the Worcester Reed Warner Medal of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (2016).

Elishakoff is directly involved in numerous editorial activities. He serves as the book review editor of the “Journal of Shock and Vibration” and is currently, or has previously been an associate editor of the International Journal of Mechanics of Machines and Structures, Applied Mechanics Reviews, and Chaos, Solitons & Fractals. In addition, he is or has been on the editorial boards of numerous journals, for example Journal of Sound and Vibration, International Journal of Structural Stability and Dynamics, International Applied Mechanics and Computers & Structures. He also acts as a book series editor for Elsevier, Springer and Wiley.

1Bolotin’s Dynamic Edge Effect Method Revisited (Review)

A comprehensive review of Bolotin’s edge effect method is presented. This chapter begins with a toy problem and is concluded by nonlinear considerations that have not been developed by Bolotin himself. Various generalizations and modifications of the method are described, along with a variety of solved problems for which a wide list of references is provided. Attempts are also made to frame the method among the known methods for finding rapidly oscillating solutions.

1.1. Introduction

Professor Isaac E. Elishakoff was a doctoral student of the world-renowned scientist V.V. Bolotin (March 29, 1926 to May 28, 2008) (Bolotin 2006). The first research works of I. Elishakoff and his PhD thesis were devoted to the application and development of the dynamic edge effect (EE) method proposed by V.V. Bolotin. After moving from the Soviet Union to the Western world, Prof. Elishakoff made great efforts to popularize the dynamic EE method in the Western scientific community (Elishakoff 1974, 1976; Elishakoff and Wiener 1976).

Therefore, the appearance of a review of papers related to Bolotin’s method in the volume devoted to Prof. Elishakoff’s 75th birthday seems quite reasonable. Moreover, the previous comprehensive reviews of the subject were published in 1976 (Elishakoff 1976) and 1984 (Bolotin 1984).

In the early 1960s, V.V. Bolotin put forward an asymptotic method for studying natural oscillations of plates and shells, which used the inverse of the dimensionless vibration frequency as a small parameter (Bolotin 1960a, 1960b). In a more general formulation, it is a method for solving self-adjoint eigenvalue problems defined in a rectangular domain, called the boundary value problems with quasi-separable variables, according to Bolotin’s terminology. For this reason, the method is referred to as Bolotin’s method or the dynamic edge effect method (DEEM). And despite the fact that 60 years have passed since the method creation, it is still relevant. The purpose of this review is describing various generalizations and modifications of DEEM, the problems solved with the use of this method and also trying to determine the place of DEEM among the known methods for finding rapidly oscillating solutions. Thus, we demonstrate that DEEM can be broadly applied for solving modern problems.

1.2. Toy problem: natural beam oscillations

Demonstrate the main idea of DEEM on a spatially 1D problem, which can be reduced to a transcendental equation and solved numerically with any degree of accuracy (Weaver et al. 1990). Consider the natural oscillations of a beam of length L, described by the following PDE:

[1.1]

Here, w is the normal displacement, E is the Young modulus, F is the cross-sectional area of the beam, I is the axial inertia moment of the beam cross-section, and ρ is the density of the beam material.

Let us compare two versions of boundary conditions:

[1.2]
[1.3]

We use the following ansatz:

where ω is the eigenfrequency and W (x) is the eigenfunction.

The equation for eigenfunction W (x) has the form

[1.4]

The solution of the eigenvalue problem [1.4], [1.2] is given by

[1.5]
[1.6]

The eigenvalue problem [1.4], [1.3] does not allow separation of variables. However, if the eigenfunction oscillates rapidly along x (i.e. a rather high form of oscillations is considered), then we can hope that in this case a solution of the form [1.5] is also valid for the inner domain sufficiently distant from the boundaries (Figure 1.1). Such an expression does not satisfy the boundary conditions. However, if the solution that compensates the residuals at the boundary conditions and decays rapidly, then the approximate expressions for the eigenfunctions and eigenfrequencies can be obtained.

Figure 1.1.Curve 1 corresponds to the rapidly oscillating solution in the inner domain, and curve 2 corresponds to the sum of DEE and the rapidly oscillating solution

Let us suppose the solution of equation [1.4] in the form

[1.7]

The oscillation frequency ω is

[1.8]

Factorization of ODE [1.4] is (Vakhromeev and Kornev 1972)

[1.9]

The general solution of ODE [1.9] is given by

where functions W0 and W1,2 are the general solutions of the following equations:

[1.10]
[1.11]

For large frequencies (aω ≫1), the following estimates for the derivatives of functions W0 and W1,2 are obtained:

The behavior of these solution components is different: W1 is the rapidly oscillating function, and W2 is the sum of exponentials rapidly decreasing from the edges of the beam.

Therefore, the situation under consideration is fundamentally different from the case when the characteristic equation has small and large modulo roots, which is typical for boundary layer theory. In our case, we are talking about the separation of solutions, one of which oscillates at the same rate as the EE decays (i.e. the characteristic equation has large real and imaginary roots with moduli of the same order). The self-adjoint eigenvalue problem [1.1], [1.2] can be referred to as the boundary value problem with quasi-separable variables (Bolotin 1960a, 1960b, 1961a, 1961b, 1961c; Bolotin et al. 1950, 1961).

We proceed to the construction of the EE described by equation [1.11]. Taking into account the expression for the natural frequency [1.8], we obtain the following relations for EEs localized in the vicinity of the edges x = 0 and x = L, respectively:

[1.12]
[1.13]

We assume that the beam is so long such that EEs do not affect each other, i.e. exp(−πλ-1L) ≪ 1.

Now, it remains to find the quantities x0, λ and constants C1, C2 from the boundary conditions to determine the eigenmodes and eigenfrequencies:

[1.14]
[1.15]

Note that in original works by Bolotin, a slightly different matching procedure is used. Namely, the matching conditions [1.14], [1.15] are not given at the domain boundaries. They are set at some points, which are then determined from the solution of the system of transcendental equations along with other unknown constants.

Substituting expressions [1.7] and [1.12] into conditions [1.14], and expressions [1.7] and [1.13] into [1.15], we obtain

[1.16]
[1.17]

For λ and x0, we have the following expressions:
