Permutations via linear translators

We show that many infinite classes of permutations over finite fields can be constructed via translators with a large choice of parameters. We first characterize some functions having linear translators, based on which several families of permutations are then derived. Extending the results of [9], we give in several cases the compositional inverse of these permutations. The connection with complete permutations is also utilized to provide further infinite classes of permutations. Moreover, we propose new tools to study permutations of the form $x\mapsto x+{(x^{p^m}-x+\delta )}^s$ and a few infinite classes of permutations of this form are proposed.     

Geometric approach to global asymptotic stability for the SEIRS models in epidemiology

In this paper, we present a more general criterion for the global asymptotic stability of equilibria for nonlinear autonomous differential equations based on the geometric criterion developed by Li and Muldowney. By applying this criterion, we obtain some results for the global asymptotic stability of SEIRS models with constant recruitment and varying total population size. Based on these results, we give a complete affirmative answer to Liu–Hethcote–Levin conjecture. Furthermore, an affirmative answer to Li–Graef–Wang–Karsai’s problem for SEIR model with permanent immunity and varying total population size is given.     

A probability distribution for precipitation data analysis

Hydrologic design is often based on assessments of large return interval measures; it is vital to be able to conclude them as precisely as possible. Henceforth, the selection of a probability distribution is very crucial for such cases. In view of this scenario, we propose and study a pliant probability distribution for precipitation data analysis. Some mathematical and statistical properties are analyzed. In order to make stronger predictions and judge the realistic return period, we have also characterized the model via Laplace transformation. We have estimated its parameters via the maximum likelihood estimation and constructed its information matrix for developing the confidence belt of population parameters. Moreover, a real-life setup is also considered by applying the model over precipitation data of diverse regions, including Jacksonville, Florida (USA), Barkhan (Pakistan), British Columbia (Canada), and Alexandria (Egypt). This investigated study is based on various statistical parametric and nonparametric tests, which indicates that the proposed model is one of the better strategies for precipitation data analysis when compared with the famous three-parameter Kappa model.     

V型缺口裂端的三维应力状态及约束分析

利用三维有限元方法，研究了有限厚度板中V型缺口根部穿透裂纹前沿的三维弹性应力场。对不同厚度、不同缺口张开角和裂纹长度对应力强度因子及裂尖附近的三维约束程度的影响进行了分析，同时还讨论了三维约束区的大小。研究结果显示：当缺口张开角小于60度时，不同缺口的应力强度因子和离面约束因子的分布基本一致，角度的影响不明显。应力强度因子是厚度的函数，板中面的应力强度因子随厚度的增加逐渐减小趋近干平面值，最大为1．08倍的平面值。当板厚超过15倍的缺口深度时，应力强度因子最大值将从中面转移至接近自由表面位置，距中面约0．4倍板厚。三维约束非常明显的区域在裂尖前沿约0.45倍厚度的范围内．二维到三维的过渡区在裂尖前沿1.5倍厚度的区域内；在中面上三维效应影响区最大，随着离中面距离的增加逐渐减小，在自由表面上降为0。

基于SMP破坏准则的饱和砂土弹塑性本构模型

利用土体的塑性流动理论，提出了用于描述饱和砂土在单调荷载作用下的应力一应变反应性质的弹塑性本构模型。土体总的变形由三部分组成：即弹性应变、与体积屈服机制相关的塑性应变和与剪切屈服机制相关的塑性应变，其中与剪切屈服机制相关的塑性应变的得出是基于SMP破坏准则。通过将模型预测的结果与试验结果进行对比，表明该模型能够较为准确地描述饱和砂土在单调加载条件下的反应性质。     

A DECAGONAL QUASICRYSTAL WITH AN ARC-SHAPED CRACK

A decagonal quasicrystal,which is weakened by an arc-shaped crack penetratingthrough the solid in the period direction,and which is subjected to remote uniform phonon stresses,is investigated by applying the complex variable method which is just developed by the authors.It is found that the phonon and phason stresses near the crack tips exhibit inverse square rootsingularities.The four complex stress functions characterizing the phonon and phason fields arederived.Explicit expressions for the phonon and phason stress intensity factors,crack openingdisplacements and energy release rate are also presented.

力学性能不均匀是焊接接头的三大待征之一，本文采用柔度法研究了不同硬夹层宽度的软夹硬力学不均匀焊接接头疲劳裂纹的闭俣行为。研究结果表明，裂纹尖端附近软区的局部屈服在疲劳载荷卸载过程中促使裂纹闭合。随着硬夹层宽度的减小，这一影响越来越明显。
