The Critical Velocity for an Infinite Cylindrical Shell under a Moving Load

Abstract:

The critical velocity for an infinite cylindrical shell subjected a moving load with a constant velocity is analyzed in this paper. It is found that the critical velocity problem can be translated into a distribution of the real roots of a quadruplicate equation, which can be solved by using Descartes sign method and complete discrimination system for polynomials. Our research shows that the number of the critical velocities for an infinite cylindrical shell always is even number. Furthermore the longitudinal wave velocity is not one critical velocity for the shell. Our results are different from the conclusion drawn by other authors that there are three critical velocities in an infinite shell, and the longitudinal wave velocity is the maximum critical velocity. Then further studies are needed to clarify these questions.
