Weakly R-KKM mappings——intersection theorems and minimax inequalities in topological spaces

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of weakly R-KKM mappings, R-convex and ,R-β-quasiconvex in general topological spaces without any convex structure. Relating to these, we obtain an extension to general topological spaces of Fan's matching theorem, namely that Lemma 1.2 in this paper. On this basis, two intersection theorems are proved in topological spaces. By using intersection theorems, some minimax inequalities of Ky Fan type are also proved in topological spaces. Our results generalize and improve the corresponding results in the literature.     

Analysis of Wind Fluctuations Using the Orthogonal Wavelet Transform

This paper presents a study of velocity fluctuations occurring in the stably stratified atmospheric boundary layer over an Antarctic ice shelf. The approach is based on wavelet analysis which has advantages over conventional Fourier analysis. Two case studies are presented, comprising: pure turbulent flow and a large amplitude solitary wave.     

Asymptotic Axially Symmetric Deformations for Perfectly Elastic Neo-Hookean and Mooney Materials

For axially symmetric deformations of the perfectly elastic neo-Hookean and Mooney materials, formal series solutions are determined in terms of expansions in appropriate powers of 1/R, where R is the cylindrical polar coordinate for the material coordinates. Remarkably, for both the neo-Hookean and Mooney materials, the first three terms of such expansions can be completely determined analytically in terms of elementary integrals. From the incompressibility condition and the equilibrium equations, the six unknown deformation functions, appearing in the first three terms can be reduced to five formal integrations involving in total seven arbitrary constants A, B, C, D, E, H and k ², and a further five integration constants, making a total of 12 integration constants for the deformation field. The solutions obtained for the neo-Hookean material are applied to the problem of the axial compression of a cylindrical rubber tube which has bonded metal end-plates. The solution so determined is approximate in two senses; namely as an approximate solution of the governing equations and for which the stress free and displacement boundary conditions are satisfied in an average manner only. The resulting load-deflection relation is shown graphically. The solution so determined, although approximate, attempts to solve a problem not previously tackled in the literature.      

Wave-like deformations for oscillating carbon nanotubes

Carbon nanostructures such as nanotubes and fullerenes, represent future materials because of their remarkable mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. Double-walled carbon nanotubes are widely studied as possible gigahertz oscillators, where the inner tube oscillates within the outer tube. These oscillators are believed to generate frequencies in the gigahertz range and typically of the order of 1–74 GHz. They are also known to generate wave-like formations on the outer surface. In this paper, we study such induced deformations on the surface of the outer tube, as generated by the moving inner tube. Following previous authors we assume that double-walled carbon nanotubes can be modelled as transversely isotropic linearly elastic materials. Using a previously derived approximate force distribution for the resultant van der Waals forces arising from the interatomic interactions, we solve a dynamic linearly elastic problem, and show that the resulting solution exhibits wave-like behaviour.     

Unsteady flow of viscoelastic fluid with fractional Maxwell model in a channel

The unsteady flow of viscoelastic fluid with the fractional derivative Maxwell model (FDMM) in a channel is studied in this note. The exact solutions are obtained for an arbitrary pressure gradient by means of the finite Fourier cosine transform and the Laplace transform. Two special cases of pressure gradient are discussed. Some results given by the classical models with integer-order are included in this note.     

NONLINEAR WAVES AND PERIODIC SOLUTION IN FINITE DEFORMATION ELASTIC ROD

A nonlinear wave equation of elastic rod taking account of finite deformation, transverse inertia and shearing strain is derived by means of the Hamilton principle in this paper. Nonlinear wave equation and truncated nonlinear wave equation are solved by the Jacobi elliptic sine function expansion and the third kind of Jacobi elliptic function expansion method. The exact periodic solutions of these nonlinear equations are obtained, including the shock wave solution and the solitary wave solution. The necessary condition of exact periodic solutions, shock solution and solitary solution existence is discussed.

Exploring the applications of fractional calculus: Hierarchically built semiflexible polymers

In this article we study, through extensions of the generalized Gaussian scheme, the dynamics of semiflexible treelike polymers under the influence of external forces acting on particular (say, charged) monomers. Semiflexibility is introduced following our previous work (Dolgushev and Blumen, 2009 [15]), a procedure which allows one to study treelike structures with arbitrary stiffness and branching. Exemplarily, we illustrate the procedure using linear chains and hyperbranched polymers modeled through Vicsek fractals, and obtain in every case the monomer displacement averaged over the structure. Anomalous behavior manifests itself in the intermediate time region, where the different fractal architectures show distinct scaling behaviors. These behaviors are due to the power law behavior of the spectral density and lead, for arbitrary pulling forces, based on causality and the linear superposition principle, to fractional calculus expressions, in accordance to former phenomenological fractional laws in polymer physics.
