On the moments of the time to ruin in dependent Sparre Andersen models with emphasis on Coxian interclaim times

The structural properties of the moments of the time to ruin are studied in dependent Sparre Andersen models. The moments of the time to ruin may be viewed as generalized versions of the Gerber–Shiu function. It is shown that structural properties of the Gerber–Shiu function hold also for the moments of the time to ruin. In particular, the moments continue to satisfy defective renewal equations. These properties are discussed in detail in the model of Willmot and Woo (2012), which has Coxian interclaim times and arbitrary time-dependent claim sizes. Structural quantities needed to determine the moments of the time to ruin are specified under this model. Numerical examples illustrating the methodology are presented.     

An efficient numerical method to solve 2-D interval bi-modular problems via orthogonal polynomial expansion

An interval analysis of uncertain bi-modular problems is presented by addressing the efficiency of deterministic solution and reduction of computational cost on the non-linear FE iteration. Firstly, the singularity of 2-D conventional bi-modular constitutive matrix is pointed out via a concise mathematical illustration, and is removed via a complement of shear modulus consistent with the coaxial condition. A new FE model with a full rank constitutive matrix is developed to solve deterministic bi-modular problems, which is well performed in the numerical tests, particularly in term of convergence. Secondly, an orthogonal polynomial expansion based surrogate is constructed to alleviate the heavy computational burden caused by repeated non-linear FE solution in the optimization process for bounds estimation. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of proposed approach, and a good accordance can be observed between the results obtained by the proposed approach and reference solutions.     

On Fundamental Group of a Certain Class of Welded Knots

In this paper, a certain class of welded knots K_(2n) is considered. By calculating the commutators subgroup of fundamental group Gn of welded knot K_(2n),n ∈ Z~+, we show that these welded knots are not equivalent to each other and they are all not classical knots. Secondly, we study some properties of Gn and obtain that Gn is linear, residually finite and Hopfian.

目前许多新型高效金属催化剂在设计制备中都考虑到表面力学因素, 例如层状结构、核壳结构等, 其表面高活性原子受到不同程度的应变作用. 应变可直接改变金属的能带带隙, 对催化剂表面的电化学反应产生显著影响, 是一种有效提升材料催化活性的新思路和制备高性能催化剂的新途径, 因此受到了科研工作者的广泛关注. 传统的材料应变工程手段存在着活性物质层的应变值难以精确定量, 并缺少实时调控以及制备工艺繁琐等难题, 导致应变与电催化活性相关性规律识别方面的理论和实验研究进展缓慢. 相比于传统的材料手段, 交变载荷产生的应变具有幅值和频率的可变性以及连续的调控性, 在实验中可以完全排除噪声、缺陷、空位、基底效应等其他外部或材料本征的影响因素. 该综述从经典固液界面热力学表述出发, 简要介绍了电催化体系中的力?电?化学耦合效应, 归纳总结目前电催化体系中应变施加的实验手段和分析方法, 并基于目前相关研究着重讨论在交变载荷作用下应变对金属表面电催化反应的作用机理, 最后从力学角度展望了表面力学在电催化体系中的研究重点及发展趋势.      

Theoretical investigation on submicron particle penetration through circular tubes inside a porous medium

The analytical infinite series solution of submicron particle transport in a circular tube bounded by a porous wall, such as a pinhole, is determined under the slip velocity boundary condition, and the solution is verified by using the experimental data in the previous studies for the specific cases. The results show that particle penetration rate increases with the increase of the porous parameter, the axial pressure drop, and the pinhole radius, whereas it decreases with increasing the pinhole length. The penetration rate of nano-particles are more sensitive to the variation of these parameters. However, the differences between the penetrations of particles ranging from 0.3 μm to 1 μm are not evident because the diffusion becomes weak gradually in this size range. In addition, a further comparison is performed between the analytical solution and the existing studies, and approximate expressions are presented for accurate calculation of particle penetration rate through pinholes appearing in porous materials including filter devices and masks.
