Torsion of two bonded layers by a rigid disk

The problem considered in this paper describes the torsion of a homogeneous isotropic elastic layer (0zd ₁) of finite thickness d ₁, perfectly bonded to another elastic layer (-d ₂z0) of finite thickness d ₂. The problem is reduced to the solution of a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. The solutions are given for some particular cases.

The estimation of solution of the boundary value problem of the systems for quasi-linear ordinary differential equations

This paper deals.with the singular perturbation of the boundary value problem of the systems for quasi-linear ordinary differential equations where x,f, y, h, A, B and C all belong to Rm, and g is an n×n matrix function. Under suitable conditions we prove the existence of the solutions by diagonalization and the fixed point theorem and also estimate the remainder.     

A well posed problem in singular Fickian diffusion

We prove that the problem of solving $$u_t = (u^{m - 1} u_x )_x {\text{ for }} - 1< m \leqq 0$$ with initial conditionu(x, 0)=φ(x) and flux conditions at infinity \(\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to \infty } u^{m - 1} u_x = - f(t),\mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \to - \infty } u^{m - 1} u_x = g(t)\) , admits a unique solution \(u \in C^\infty \{ - \infty< x< \infty ,0< t< T\} \) for every φεL¹(R), φ≧0, φ≡0 and every pair of nonnegative flux functionsf, g ε L _loc ^∞ [0, ∞) The maximal existence time is given by $$T = \sup \left\{ {t:\smallint \phi (x)dx > \int\limits_0^t {[f} (s) + g(s)]ds} \right\}$$ This mixed problem is ill posed for anym outside the above specified range.     

Nonlinear oscillations and boundary value problems for Hamiltonian systems

We prove the existence of solutions of various boundary-value problems for nonautonomous Hamiltonian systems with forcing terms $$\begin{gathered} \dot x(t) = H'_p (t, x(t), p(t)) + g(t), \hfill \\ \dot p(t) = - H'_x (t, x(t), p(t)) - f(t). \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ Among these problems is the existence of T-periodic solutions, namely those satisfying x(t+T)=x(t) and p(t+T)+p(t). A special study is made of the classical case, where H(x, p)=1/2 |p|²+V(x). In the case of parametric oscillations, where (f, g)=(0, 0) and t ? H(t, x, p) is T-periodic, we give a lower bound for the true (minimal) period of the T-periodic solution (x, p) produced by our method, and we prove the existence of an infinite number of subharmonics.     

The use of sweep-frequency excitation for unsteady pressure measurement

The use of sweep-frequency excitation for rapid measurement of time-dependent pressures on wind-tunnel models is examined. Results obtained from two different wind-tunnels covering the Mach number range from 0.2 to 0.85, and a wide range of flow conditions, are compared with measurements made using the slower, traditional method of discrete-frequency excitation. It is concluded that the sweep-frequency excitation method can reduce testing time in certain flow conditions with no significant loss in accuracy.List of symbols M Mach number - p broadband rms local static pressure - q 12u ² (dynamic pressure) - R(Cp/) real (in-phase) part of oscillatory Cp/ - I(Cp/) imaginary (in-quadrature) part of oscillatory Cp/ - x/c chord station - wing incidence - canard or wing oscillatory amplitude (plotted in radians unless otherwise stated) - spanwise station - _c canard static incidence - _c canard effective incidence ( _c = 1.89 + _c –0.6) - (T) function of time - ² coherence function The coherence function between two signals x(f), y(f) is defined as - where - G _xy (f) = cross spectral density function between x and y - G _xx (f) = auto spectral density function of x - G _yy (f) = auto spectral density function of y - f = frequency

On nonlinear problems of mixed type: A qualitative theory using infinite-dimensional center manifolds

We consider the equation a(y)u_xx+div_y(b(y)_yu)+c(y)u=g(y, u) in the cylinder (–l,l)×, being elliptic where b(y)>0 and hyperbolic where b(y)<0. We construct self-adjoint realizations in L₂() of the operatorAu= (1/a) div_y(b_yu)+(c/a) in the case ofb changing sign. This leads to the abstract problem u_xx+Au=g(u), whereA has a spectrum extending to + as well as to –. For l= it is shown that all sufficiently small solutions lie on an infinite-dimensional center manifold and behave like those of a hyperbolic problem. Anx-independent cross-sectional integral E=E(u, u_x) is derived showing that all solutions on the center manifold remain bounded forx ±. For finitel, all small solutionsu are close to a solution on the center manifold such that u(x)-(x) Ce ^-(1-|x|) for allx, whereC and are independent ofu. Hence, the solutions are dominated by hyperbolic properties, except close to the terminal ends {±1}×, where boundary layers of elliptic type appear.     

Optimum lifting wings with specified longitudinal trim characteristics

The case of an infinitely slender wing that slightly disturbs a supersonic ideal gas flow is considered. The plan form and the free-stream Mach number M are given. The optimum surface of the wing y=g(x, z) is determined as a result of finding a bounded function of the local angles of attack _M=g(x, z)/x that minimizes the drag coefficient c_x for given values of the lift coefficient c_y and the pitching moment coefficient m_z. The problem is solved in the class of piecewise-constant functions for wings of complex geometry [1].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 185–189, July–August, 1987.     

Local energy decay for the wave equation on the exterior of two balls or convex bodies

An algebraic rate of decay of local energy, nonuniform with respect to the initial data, is established for solutions of the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the scalar wave equation defined on the exterior V³ of two balls or of two convex bodies. That is, for given initial data f(x)=u(x), 0 and g(x)= u _t (x, 0), if u solves u _tt in V with either u(x, t)=0 or u _n (x,t)+(x) u(x,t,)-0 ((x)0) on V, then there exists a constant T ₀, depending upon (f, g), such that the local energy (the energy in any compact set) of u at t=T is bounded from above by QE(0)T ^–1 for TT ₀, where E(0) is the total initial energy of u and Q is a positive constant, independent of u, that depends upon V.     

Nonexpansive Periodic Operators in l1 with Application to Superhigh-Frequency Oscillations in a Discontinuous Dynamical System with Time Delay

We prove that the iterates of certain periodic nonexpansive operators in l₁ uniformly converge to zero in l norm. As a by-product we show that, for any solution x(t) of the equation x(t)= –sign(x(t-1))f(x()), t0, x|_[–1,0]C[–1,0] where f:(–1, 1) is locally Lipschitz, the number of zeros of x(t) on any unit interval becomes finite after a period of time, with the single exception of the case f(0)=0 and x(t)0.     

Uniform Convergence for Approximate Traveling Waves in Linear Reaction–Diffusion–Hyperbolic Systems

In this paper we study linear reaction–hyperbolic systems of the form , (i = 1, 2, ..., n) for x > 0, t > 0 coupled to a diffusion equation for p ₀ = p ₀(x, y, θ, t) with “near-equilibrium” initial and boundary data. This problem arises in a model of transport of neurofilaments in axons. The matrix (k _ij ) is assumed to have a unique null vector with positive components summed to 1 and the v _j are arbitrary velocities such that . We prove that as the solution converges to a traveling wave with velocity v and a spreading front, and that the convergence rate in the uniform norm is , for any small positive α.     

Contaminant Transport in Fractured Media with Sources in the Porous Domain

We study contaminant flow with sources in a fractured porous mediumconsisting of a single fracture bounded by a porous matrix. In the fracturewe assume convection, decay, surface adsorption to the interface, and lossto the porous matrix; in the porous matrix we include diffusion, decay,adsorption, and contaminant sources. The model leads to a nonhomogeneous,linear parabolic equation in a quarter-space with a differential equationfor an oblique boundary condition. Ultimately, we study the problemu _t = u _yy – u + f(x,y,t),x,y>0, t>0, u _t = –u _x + u _y – u on y = 0; u(0,0,t) =u₀(t), t>0,with zero initial data. Using Laplace transforms we obtain the Green'sfunction for the problem, and we determine how contaminant sources in theporous media are propagated in time.     

Wavefronts for a cooperative tridiagonal system of differential equations

Consider the infinite system of nonlinear differential equations \(\dot u\) _n =f(_n?1, u_n, u_n+1),nε?, wherefεC ¹,D ₁ f > 0,D ₃ f>0, andf(0, 0, 0) = 0 =f(1, 1, 1). Existence of wavefronts—i.e., solutions of the formu _n (t) = U(n + ct), wherecε?,U(? ∞) = 0,U(+∞) = 1, andU is strictly increasing—is shown for functionsf which satisfy the condition: there existsa, 0<a<1, such thatf(x, x,x)<0 for 0<x<a andf(x, x, x) > 0 fora < x < 1.

A generalization of the method of averaging for systems with two time scales

In this paper we shall consider systems of the form x = ? f(t, ?t, x, y, ?), y = g(t,?t, x, y,?), where x and y are vectors of finite dimensions, f and g are assumed to be bounded for all t, and ? is a real parameter. Sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of certain solutions which are bounded for all t. These solutions are shown to approach special solutions of a derived simpler averaged system of equations as ? → 0. Moreover, it is shown that there exists only one such bounded solution in the neighborhood of each special solution. In the special case when y is not present, it is shown that if a special solution is stable, solutions starting in nonlocal neighborhoods of this special solution approach the bounded solutions adjacent to it as t → ∞. These results generalize most of the existing work for systems of the type discussed here. Finally, we employ our results to study some problems of physical importance.     

On the problem of preventing blowing-up and quenching for semilinear heat equation

In this paper,the global existence of solutions to the IVP=Δu+g(t)f(u) (t>0),u|_(t=0)=u_0(x)and the (?)PVPu_t=Δu-g(t,x)f(u)(t>0,x∈Ω),u|_(t-0)=u|_(?)(?)is investigated. As has been done in [6]the (?)duction of factor g(t) or g(t.x) innonlinear term is to prevent(?) occurrance of blowing-up or quenching of solutions.It isshown in this paper that most of the restrictions on f,g and u_0 in the theorems of[6] maybe cancelled or relaxed,that the smallness of g is required only for t large,and thatunder certain conditions controlling initial state can avoid blowing-up.     

Die kompressible Grenzschichtströmung am dreidimensionalen Staupunkt bei starkem Absaugen oder Ausblasen

Zusammenfassung Es wird die kompressible, laminare Grenzschichtströmung am dreidimensionalen Staupunkt mit Absaugen oder Ausblasen an der Wand untersucht und daraus Wandschubspannung, Wärmeübergang und Verdrängungsdicke in Abhängigkeit von der Normalgeschwindigkeit an der Wand bestimmt. Besonders ausführlich wkd auf die Grenzfälle sehr starken Absaugens bzw. Ausblasens eingegangen, die auf singuläre Störungsprobleme führen, deren Lösung mit der Methode der angepaßten asymptotischen Entwicklungen erfolgt. – Die Unsymmetrie am Staupunkt wird durch den Parameter c gekennzeichnet mit den Spezialfällen c=0 (ebener Staupunkt) und c=1 (rotationssymmetrischer Staupunkt). Im Grenzfall starken Absaugens sind die beiden Wandschubspannungskomponenten und der Wärmeübergang unabhängig von c, im Grenzfall starken Ausblasens ist nur eine der beiden Wandschubspannungskomponenten von c unbeeinflußt.

The compressible boundary layer flow at a threedimensional stagnation point with intensive suction or injection

The compressible laminar boundary layer flow at a general three-dimensional stagnation point including large rates of injection or suction on the porous surface is considered. The wall shear stress, heat flux and displacement thickness as function of the mass transfer parameter are determined. The two limiting cases of intensive suction and intensive blowing lead to singular perturbations problems, which are solved by the method of matched asymptotic expansions.—The asymmetry of the stagnation point flow is characterized by the ratio c of the two velocity gradients including the special cases of two-dimensional (c=0) and axisymmetric (c=1) stagnation point flow.-For intensive suction the wall shear stresses and the heat flux become independent of c, whereas for intensive blowing only one of the two wall shear stress components is independent of c.
