LOCAL BENDING OF THIN FILM ON VISCOUS LAYER

Effects of deposition layer position film are systematically investigated. Because the and number/density on local bending of a thin deposition layer interacts with the thin film at the interface and there is an offset between the thin film neutral surface and the interface, the deposition layer generates not only axial stress but also bending moment. The bending moment induces an instant out-of-plane deflection of the thin film, which may or may not cause the socalled local bending. The deposition layer is modeled as a local stressor, whose location and density are demonstrated to be vital to the occurrence of local bending. The thin film rests on a viscous layer, which is governed by the Navier-Stokes equation and behaves like an elastic foundation to exert transverse forces on the thin film. The unknown feature of the axial constraint force makes the governing equation highly nonlinear even for the small deflection chse. The constraint force and film transverse deflection are solved iteratively through the governing equation and the displacement constraint equation of immovable edges. This research shows that in some special cases, the deposition density increase does not necessarily reduce the local bending. By comparing the thin film deflections of different deposition numbers and positions, we also present the guideline of strengthening or suppressing the local bending.     

A parametric view on the Mangasarian–Fromovitz constraint qualification

The growth of the multipliers, when the parameter approaches such a critical parameter, is characterized by a parametric constraint qualification which is introduced here. It is equivalent to a bound on the growth of the multipliers. Received May 8, 1995 / Revised version received February 12, 1998 Published online February 25, 1999     

On the strategy of supply chain collaboration based on dynamic inventory target level management: A theory of constraint perspective

After the financial tsunami in 2008, how to adjust the target inventory level dynamically and instantly in order to reduce the risk that an enterprise encountered in a rapid demand changing market has become a crucial issue in the field of supply chain management. This paper explores the strategies of supply chain collaboration by utilizing theory of constraint to achieve the goal of adjusting the target inventory level dynamically. Three time-series-data-mining techniques – Sequential Probability Ratio Test (SPRT), CUSUM chart and Auto-regression Test (AR(1)) are used to detect the timing of market demand change. The results are used to adjust the target inventory level. Simulation techniques are used to explore the relative efficiency of the demand-change detection for the three methods. The techniques are also used to explore the effectiveness of various inventory management strategies on inventory performance based on the three demand change detection methods.     

约束修正失效评定曲线及内压管道失效分析

用A2参数描述裂纹尖端约束效应,考虑裂纹尖端约束水平对断裂阻力的影响,对R6失效评定曲线进行修正。以X80钢为例,根据不同约束水平试件测试得到的JR–△a曲线,给出了与裂纹尖端约束相关的失效评定曲线。在使用有限元对带裂纹内压管道进行弹塑性分析的基础上,利用失效评定曲线对失效载荷进行预测;与试验结果比较表明:采用约束修正失效评定曲线,在对存在缺陷的构件进行安全性评定、寿命评估、失效概率计算时,考虑约束效应对断裂韧度的影响可以更充分地发挥构件的强度潜力。

ELASTIC CALCULATION OF STRESSES IN RINGS USING AIRY STRESS FUNCTION

Stress calculation formulae for a ring have been obtained by using Airy stress function of the plane strain field with the decomposition of the solutions for normal stresses of Airy biharmonic equation into two parts when it is loaded under two opposite inside forces along a diameter. One part should fulfill a constraint condition about normal stress distribution along the circumference at an energy valley to do the minimum work. Other part is a stress residue constant. In order to verify these formulae and the computed results, the computed contour lines of equi-maximal shear stresses were plotted and quite compared with that of photo-elasticity test results. This constraint condition about normal stress distribution along circumference is confirmed by using Greens’ theorem. An additional compression exists along the circumference of the loaded ring, explaining the divorcement and displacement of singularity points at inner and outer boundaries.     

Multiplicity of solutions for Kirchhoff type equations involving critical Sobolev exponents in high dimension

In this paper, we study the following Kirchhoff‐type elliptic problem where is a bounded domain with smooth boundary ?Ω, a,b,λ,μ > 0 and 1 < q < 2^?=2N/(N ? 2). When N = 4, we obtain that there is a ground state solution to the problem for q∈(2,4) by using a variational methods constrained on the Nehari manifold and also show the problem possesses infinitely many negative energy solutions for q∈(1,2) by applying usual Krasnoselskii genus theory. In addition, we admit that there is a positive solution to the equations for N≥5 under some suitable conditions. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Optimality conditions for nonsmooth mathematical programs with equilibrium constraints,using convexificators

In this paper, we deal with constraint qualifications, stationary concepts and optimality conditions for a nonsmooth mathematical program with equilibrium constraints (MPEC). The main tool in our study is the notion of convexificator. Using this notion, standard and MPEC Abadie and several other constraint qualifications are proposed and a comparison between them is presented. We also define nonsmooth stationary conditions based on the convexificators. In particular, we show that GS-stationary is the first-order optimality condition under generalized standard Abadie constraint qualification. Finally, sufficient conditions for global or local optimality are derived under some MPEC generalized convexity assumptions.     

Optimal mean–variance investment and reinsurance problems for the risk model with common shock dependence

In this paper, we study the optimal investment–reinsurance problems in a risk model with two dependent classes of insurance business, where the two claim number processes are correlated through a common shock component. Under the criterion of mean–variance, two cases are considered: One is the optimal mean–variance problem with bankruptcy prohibition, i.e., the wealth process of the insurer is not allowed to be below zero at any time, which is solved by standard martingale approach, and the closed form solutions are derived; The other is the optimal mean–variance problem without bankruptcy prohibition, which is discussed by a very different method—stochastic linear–quadratic control theory, and the explicit expressions of the optimal results are obtained either. In the end, a numerical example is given to illustrate the results and compare the values in the two cases.
