Response probability density functions of strongly non-linear systems by the path integration method

The paper discusses challenges in numerical analysis and numerical/analytical results for strongly non-linear systems—systems with “signum”-type non-linearities. Such non-linearities are implemented for instantaneous variations of the systems’ parameters, to reduce their mean energy response when subjected to random excitations. Numerical results for displacement and velocity response probability density functions (PDFs), energy response PDFs and various order moments are obtained by the path integration technique. Attention is also given to evaluation of mean upcrossing rate, related to the system's half period, via Rice's formula informally applied to discontinuous response PDFs.     

Surface instability of orthotropic laminated materials under compression

The piecewise-homogeneous material model and the three-dimensional linearized theory of stability with the assumption of small subcritical strains are used to study the surface buckling of orthotropic and transtropic laminates. A plane problem is formulated, and characteristic equations are derived. A solution is found for a specific transtropic material with different orientations of the isotropy axis __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 7, pp. 64–72, July 2006.

Undulation instability in two-dimensional foams of magnetic fluid

Two-dimensional magnetic fluid foams are cellular structures whose framework is made of magnetic fluid. The features of these equilibrated patterns are driven by a control parameter: the amplitude of the applied magnetic field. When the latter is rapidly increased, an instability occurs: the walls between cells undulate. Such an instability has also been observed in other 2D cellular structures, which exist for instance in Langmuir monolayers or in magnetic garnets thin films. In this paper we give a theoretical analysis of this instability, the issues of which are shown to be well confirmed by experiments and numerical simulations.

Roughness effects on the double-layer charge capacitance: the case of Helmholtz layer induced roughness attenuation

For electrical double layers, the presence of a Helmholtz layer could lead to electrode roughness attenuation. The latter is assumed of self-affine type which is characterized by the roughness amplitude w, the correlation length ξ, and the roughness exponent H. For sufficiently rough metal electrode surfaces (H1 and/or ratios w/ξ0.1) the diffuse/Helmholtz layer interface would not have the same roughness parameters with the metal electrode surface. If the latter is smoothened at lateral length scales smaller than a healing length Λ (ξ), the diffuse charge capacitance decreases and approaches values close to that of the Gouy–Chapman theory for flat electrodes.

New integrable cases of a Cremona transformation: a finite-order orbits analysis

We analyse the properties of a particular birational mapping of two variables (Cremona transformation) depending on two free parameters ( and ), associated with the action of a discrete group of non-linear (birational) transformations on the entries of a q × q matrix. This mapping originates from the analysis of birational transformations obtained from very simple algebraic calculations, namely taking the inverse of q × q matrices and permuting some of the entries of these matrices. It has been seen to yield weak chaos and integrability. We have found new integrable cases of this Cremona transformation, corresponding to the values of = 0 when , besides the already known values = 0 and = −1, and also arbitrary when = 0. For these cases, one has a foliation of the parameter space in elliptic curves. We give the equations of these elliptic curves. Based on this very example we show how one can find these integrability cases of the Cremona transformation and actually integrate it using a method based on the systematic study of the finite-order conditions of the Cremona transformation. The method is shown to be efficient and straightforward. The various integrability cases are revisited using many different representations of this very mapping (birational transformations, recursion in one variable, …).

Thermal Buckling Analysis of FGM Sandwich Circular Plates Under Transverse Nonuniform Temperature Field Actions北大核心CSCD

Based on the von Kármán geometric nonlinear plate theory, the displacement⁃type geometric nonlinear governing equations for FGM sandwich circular plates under transverse nonlinear temperature field actions were derived. With the immovable clamped boundary condition, the analytical formula for dimensional critical buckling temperature differences of the system was obtained from the solution of the linear eigenvalue problem. Moreover, the 2⁃point boundary value problem of ordinary differential equations was solved with the shooting method. The effects of geometric parameters, constituent material properties, gradient indexes, temperature field parameters and layer⁃thickness ratios on the critical buckling temperature differences, the thermal postbuckling equilibrium paths, and the buckling equilibrium configurations of FGM sandwich circular plates, were investigated. The results show that, with the increases of the thickness⁃radius ratio, the relative thickness of the FGM layer and the gradient index, the FGM sandwich circular plate's critical buckling temperature difference will increase monotonically. Given a fixed radius and a fixed total thickness, the postbuckling deformation of the FGM sandwich circular plate will decrease significantly with the relative thickness of the FGM layer. © 2023 Editorial Office of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics.
