Monotonicity,uniqueness, and stability of traveling waves in a nonlocal reaction‐diffusion system with delay

The purpose of this paper is to study the traveling wave solutions of a nonlocal reaction‐diffusion system with delay arising from the spread of an epidemic by oral‐faecal transmission. Under monostable and quasimonotone it is well known that the system has a minimal wave speed c* of traveling wave fronts. In this paper, we first prove the monotonicity and uniqueness of traveling waves with speed c ?c _?. Then we show that the traveling wave fronts with speed c >c _? are exponentially asymptotically stable.     

Convergence to a Single Wave in the Fisher-KPP Equation

The authors study the large time asymptotics of a solution of the Fisher-KPP reaction-diffusion equation,with an initial condition that is a compact perturbation of a step function.A well-known result of Bramson states that,in the reference frame moving as 2t-(3/2) log t+x∞,the solution of the equation converges as t-→ +o∞ to a translate of the traveling wave corresponding to the minimal speed c* =2.The constant x∞ depends on the initial condition u(0,x).The proof is elaborate,and based on probabilistic arguments.The purpose of this paper is to provide a simple proof based on PDE arguments.

A solution to this problem is proved to be unique for all values of the radian frequency when the cylinder intersecting the free surface at arbitrary angles is subjected to certain geometric arrangements.

The scattering of harmonic elastic anti-plane shear waves by two collinear cracks in the piezoelectric plate by using the non-local theory

In this paper, the dynamic interaction between two collinear cracks in a piezoelectric material plate under anti-plane shear waves is investigated by using the non-local theory for impermeable crack surface conditions. By using the Fourier transform, the problem can be solved with the help of two pairs of triple integral equations. These equations are solved using the Schmidt method. This method is more reasonable and more appropriate. Unlike the classical elasticity solution, it is found that no stress and electric displacement singularity is present at the crack tip. The non-local dynamic elastic solutions yield a finite hoop stress at the crack tip, thus allowing for a fracture criterion based on the maximum dynamic stress hypothesis.

一种新的运动激波--非定常边界层相互干扰现象

本文探讨了一种新的激波－非定常边界层相互干扰现象，这种激波－边界层干扰现象既不同于定常激波－边界层干扰现象，又不同于激波在端面反射后与该激波所诱导的边界层之间的干扰现象，而是运动激波与稀疏波和第一激波所诱导的非这常边界层之间的干扰现象，本文对这种现象用微波动力学理论进行分析，并把这种干扰现象看成激波的绕射现象，同时在稀疏波破膜的双驱动激波管中进行实验观察，最后把理论分析与实验观察进行了比较。     

Nonlinear wave propagation in binary mixtures of Euler fluids

In the present paper, we study the propagation of acceleration and shock waves in a binary mixture of ideal Euler fluids, assuming that the difference between the atomic masses of the constituents is negligible. We evaluate the characteristic speeds, proving that they can be separated into two groups: one is related to the case of a single Euler fluid, provided that an average ratio of specific heats is introduced; the other is new and related to the propagation speed due to diffusion. We evaluate the critical time for sound acceleration waves and compare its value to that of a single fluid. We then study shock waves, showing that three types of shock waves appear: sonic and contact shocks, which have counterparts in the single fluid case, and the diffusive shock, which is peculiar to the mixture. We discuss the admissibility of the shock waves using the Lax-Liu conditions and the entropy growth criterion. It is proved that the sonic and the characteristic shock obey the same properties as in the single fluid case, while for the diffusive shock there exists a locally exceptional case that is determined by a particular value of the concentration of the constituents, for which the genuine nonlinearity is lost and no shocks are admissible. For other values of the unperturbed concentration, the diffusive shock is stable in a bounded interval of admissibility.Received: 15 December 2002, Accepted: 28 June 2003 Correspondence to: T.

Second-order hydroelastic analysis of a floating plate in multidirectional irregular waves

Based on an analysis of second-order hydrodynamic forces induced by coupling of first-order wave potentials, second-order hydroelastic equations are established and solved in the frequency domain. The responses of a very large floating structure in multidirectional irregular waves are studied. The characteristics of the difference and sum frequency coordinates are discussed in detail; peaks can be found at the difference and sum frequencies close to the wet resonant frequencies of each mode. We present and analyze the maximum vertical displacement of different points as well as the time history of the vertical displacements of selected points. The differences of the combined (the summation of the linear and non-linear responses) and linear displacements of the selected points are calculated. Our results demonstrate that non-linear fluid forces influence the total responses of the referenced floating structure.
