Uniform stability for thermoelastic systems with boundary time-varying delay

In this paper we consider a thermoelastic system with boundary time-varying delay. Using the energy method, we show, under suitable assumptions, that the damping effect through heat conduction is still strong enough to uniformly stabilize the system even in the presence of boundary time-varying delay. Our result improves earlier results existing in the literature.     

A uniform stability result for thermoelasticity of type III with boundary distributed delay

In this paper we consider a thermoelastic system of type III with boundary distributed delay. Under suitable assumption on the weight of the delay, we prove, using the energy method, that the damping effect through heat conduction given by Green and Naghdi's theory is still strong enough to uniformly stabilize the system even in the presence of time delay.     

Optimal control of the heat equation in an inhomogeneous body

In this paper we consider a heat flow in an inhomogeneous body without internal source. There exists special initial and boundary conditions in this system and we intend to find a convenient coefficient of heat conduction for this body so that body cool off as much as possible after definite time. We consider this problem in a general form as an optimal control problem which coefficient of heat conduction is optimal function. Then we replace this problem by another in which we seek to minimize a linear form over a subset of the product of two measures space defined by linear equalities. Then we construct an approximately optimal control.     

An inverse non-Fourier heat conduction problem approach for estimating the boundary condition in electronic device

This study is intended to provide an inverse method for estimating the unknown boundary condition T(0,y,t) in a non-Fourier heat conduction electronic device. In this study, finite-difference methods are employed to discretize the problem domain, and then a linear inverse model is constructed to identify the unknown boundary condition. The present approach is to rearrange the matrix forms of the differential governing equations and to estimate the unknown conditions. Then, the linear least-squares method is adopted to obtain the solution.The results show that one measuring point is sufficient to estimate the unknown boundary condition T(0,y,t) without measurement errors. When considering the measurement errors, the magnitudes of the discrepancies in the boundary condition T(0,y,t) are directly proportional to the size of measurement errors. Due to the complicated reflection and interaction of the thermal waves, this phenomenon reflects the fact that the inverse non-Fourier heat conduction problem is different from the inverse Fourier heat conduction problem.In contrast to the traditional approach, the advantage of applying this method in inverse analysis is that no prior information is needed on the functional form of the unknown quantities. In addition, no initial guess is required and the calculation can be done in only one iteration.

Asymptotic behavior of second sound thermoelasticity with internal time-varying delay

In this paper, we consider a thermoelastic system of second sound with internal time-varying delay. Under suitable assumption on the weight of the delay, we prove, using the energy method, that the damping effect through heat conduction given by Cattaneo’s law is still strong enough to uniformly stabilize the system even in the presence of time delay.     

Stability of a thermoelastic laminated system subject to a neutral delay

In this work, we consider a system of two identical beams of uniform thickness modeled as a Timoshenko system. The slip between the beams is taken into account, and the system is coupled with a heat equation. Moreover, the slip equation is subject to a distributed delay of neutral type. Delays are known to be of a destructive nature in general. Therefore, here, the delay will compete with a frictional damping and the dissipation produced by the heat equation. We provide sufficient conditions ensuring exponential and polynomial stability of the structure.

On a family of nonlocal difference schemes

We consider a weighted difference scheme approximating the heat equation with nonlocal boundary conditions.

Numerical simulation for natural convection of micropolar fluids flow along slender hollow circular cylinder with wall conduction effect

This paper presents a numerical analysis of the flow and heat transfer characteristics of natural convection in a micropolar fluid flowing along a vertical slender hollow circular cylinder with conduction effects. The nonlinear formulation governing equations and their associated boundary conditions are first cast into dimensionless forms by a local non-similar transformation. The resulting equations are then solved using the cubic spline collocation method and the finite difference scheme. This study investigates the effects of the conjugate heat transfer parameter, the micropolar parameter, and the Prandtl number on the flow and the thermal fields. The conjugate heat transfer parameter reduces the solid–liquid interfacial temperature, the skin friction factor and the local heat transfer rate. The effect of wall conduction on the local heat transfer rate, interfacial temperature and skin friction factor is found to be more pronounced in a system with a greater Prandtl number. Moreover, the current results are comparing with Newtonian fluid to obtain the important results of the heat transfer and flow characteristics on micropolar fluids. It shows that an increase in the interfacial temperature, a reduction in the skin friction factor, and a reduction in the local heat transfer rate are identified in the current micropolar fluid case.     

Hydrodynamics for a system of harmonic oscillators perturbed by a conservative noise

We consider a heat conduction model for solids. Nearest neighbour atoms interact as coupled oscillators exchanging velocities in such a way that the total energy is conserved. The system is considered under periodic boundary conditions. We will show that the system has a hydrodynamic limit given by the solution of the heat equation and we discuss some aspects of the model.

In this work, we consider the heat equation coupled with Stokes equations under threshold type boundary condition. The conditions for existence and uniqueness of the weak solution are made clear. Next we formulate the finite element problem, recall the conditions of its solvability, and study its convergence by making use of Babuska–Brezzi's conditions for mixed problems. Third we formulate an Uzawa's type iterative algorithm that separates the fluid from heat conduction, study its feasibility, and convergence. Finally the theoretical findings are validated by numerical simulations.

Efficient and weakly efficient solutions for the vector topical optimization

In this paper, we consider some scalarization functions, which consist of the generalized min-type function, the so-called plus-Minkowski function and their convex combinations. We investigate the abstract convexity properties of these scalarization functions and use them to identify the maximal points of a set in an ordered vector space. Then, we establish some versions of Farkas type results for the infinite inequality system involving vector topical functions. As applications, we obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions of efficient solutions and weakly efficient solutions for a vector topical optimization problem, respectively.     

Stability results of a distributed problem involving Bresse system with history and/or Cattaneo law under fully Dirichlet or mixed boundary conditions

In this paper, we study the stability of a 1‐dimensional Bresse system with infinite memory‐type control and/or with heat conduction given by Cattaneo's law acting in the shear angle displacement. When the thermal effect vanishes, the system becomes elastic with memory term acting on one equation. We consider the interesting case of fully Dirichlet boundary conditions. Indeed, under equal speed of propagation condition, we establish the exponential stability of the system. However, in the natural physical case when the speeds of propagation are different, using a spectrum method, we show that the Bresse system is not uniformly exponentially stable. In this case, we establish a polynomial energy decay rate. Our study is valid for all other mixed boundary conditions.
