Stability of the Sliding Mode in Nonstationary Automatic-Control Systems with Variable Structure

The paper addresses the stability of the sliding mode in nonstationary automatic-control systems of variable structure. The parameters of dynamic states are assumed to vary arbitrarily and continuously within a given bounded domain. The existence and stability conditions for the sliding mode on the switching hyperplane are established. They define nonstationary sets that contain phase velocity vectors directed away from the sliding hyperplane. The sets do not have common points with the switching hyperplane, except for the origin, for the known extreme values of the discontinuous coefficients of logical controls. This is the essence of the necessary and sufficient conditions for the stable sliding mode of the automatic-control system. The general results are used to analyze the stability conditions for the sliding mode in a nonstationary automatic-control system with a variable structure of the third order     

A variant of the low-Reynolds-number two-equation turbulence model applied to variable property mixed convection flows

Previous work has demonstrated that the low-Reynolds-number model of Launder and Sharma (1974) offers significant advantages over other two-equation turbulence models in the computation of highly non-universal buoyancy-influenced (or “mixed convection”) pipe flows. It is known, however, that the Launder and Sharma model does not possess high quantitative accuracy in regard to simpler forced convection flows. A variant of the low-Reynolds-number scheme is developed here by reference to data for constant property forced convection flows. The re-optimized model and the Launder and Sharma formulation are then examined against experimental measurements for mixed convection flows, including cases in which variable property effects are significant.

Two examples are given to illustrate its application. The project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China.     

Interaction between an edge dislocation and a circular inclusion with an inhomogeneously imperfect interface

This research presents an analytical study of the interaction problem of an edge dislocation with a circular inclusion with a circumferentially inhomogeneously imperfect interface. The interface, which is modeled as a spring (interphase) layer with vanishing thickness, is characterized by that in which there is a displacement jump across the interface in the same direction as the corresponding tractions, and the same degree of imperfection is realized in both the normal and tangential directions. Furthermore, the interface parameter is nonuniform along the interface. In order to arrive at an elementary form solution, we introduce a conformal mapping function. Then the stress field as well as the Peach–Koehler force acting on the edge dislocation can be obtained from the derived complex potentials. Calculations demonstrate that the nonuniform interface parameter has a significant influence on the stress field.     

Numerical analysis of free vibrations of a beam with oscillators

The problem of free vibrations of a beam with free ends of variable cross section and mass, from which point masses (oscillators) are suspended by bars, is considered. It is shown that parametric resonances can occur in this oscillating system. Numerical examples showing the efficiency of the calculation method proposed are given. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 47, No. 4, pp. 135–144, July–August, 2006.     

Equivalence Classes and Symmetries of the Variable Coefficient Kadomtsev—Petviashvili Equation

We classify the variable coefficient Kadomtsev—Petviashvili (VCKP) equation into equivalence classes under the group of local point transformations, leaving the equation form invariant but changing the coefficient functions. We list the representatives of all equivalence classes with the corresponding transformations. Then, we obtain the symmetry group of the VCKP equation and in particular discuss how to use these transformations to classify low-dimensional symmetry algebras in the generic case. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of the present article.

Statistics of reaction progress variable and mixture fraction gradients of a pulverised coal jet flame using Direct Numerical Simulation data

The statistical behaviour of the variances, covariance and gradients of the reaction progress variable (c), and the mixture fraction (ξ) have been analysed in a pulverised coal jet flame using a three-dimensional carrier phase direct numerical simulation (DNS) dataset. It has been observed that the Favre-probability density functions (PDFs) of c and ξ can be parametrised by the standard β function. Furthermore, the log-normal distribution has been found to accurately represent |?c| and |?ξ|. It is also found that ?c and ?ξ remain aligned throughout the flame brush. Finally the joint PDF of |?c| and |?ξ| has been compared with the product of the PDF of |?c| and PDF of |?ξ| extracted from carrier phase DNS, and it has been found that |?c| and |?ξ| are not statistically independent in the case investigated.The bivariate log-normal distributions with and without correlation have also been considered, and the former is found to be in better agreement with the carrier phase DNS data.
