Electrode potential on the cylinder—medium boundary under the action of concentrated forces

Abstract

As basic characteristics of the interaction of loaded metals with corrosive media, one can use the electric and electrode potentials. For a metal cylinder in a medium and a circular notch in the cylinder filled with the medium, this problem was studied in [1, 2]. In what follows, we determine the influence of the stress-strain state on the distribution of the electrode potential over the contour of a cylinder of radius R placed in a medium and subjected to the action of forces distributed along the generatrix. Consider a cross section of the cylinder (Fig. 1). It is assumed that concentrated forces P1 parallel to the Ox-axis are applied at points z1 and z2 of its contour and forces P2 parallel to the Oy-axis are applied at points z3 and z4 . The stress-strain state is regarded as known [3].
