Rayleigh surface waves in the theory of thermoelastic materials with voids

In this paper we analyze the behavior of plane harmonic waves and Rayleigh waves in a linear thermoelastic material with voids. We take into account the damped effects of the thermal field upon the propagation waves. Consequently, the propagation condition is established in the form of an algebraic equation of 9th degree whose coefficients are complex numbers while the eigensolutions of the thermoelastodynamic with voids system are explicitly obtained in terms of the characteristic solutions. We show that the transverse waves are undamped in time and they are not influenced by the thermal and porous effects while the longitudinal waves are all damped in time and they are coupled with the thermal and porous effects. The related solution of the Rayleigh surface wave problem is expressed as a linear combination of the eigensolutions in concern. The secular equation is established in an implicit form and afterwards an explicit form is written for an isotropic and homogeneous thermoelastic with voids half-space. Furthermore, we use the numerical methods and computations to solve the secular equation for a specific material.     

On the Ferrers property of valued interval orders

We study the relationship between the Ferrers property and the notion of interval order in the context of valued relations. Given a crisp preference structure without incomparability, the strict preference relation satisfies the Ferrers property if and only if the associated weak preference relation does. These conditions characterize a total interval order. For valued relations the Ferrers property can be written in two different and non-equivalent ways. In this work, we compare these properties by finding the kind of completeness they imply. Moreover, we study whether they still characterize a valued total interval orders.     

The effect of the thickness of the porous material on the parallel plate channel flow when the walls are provided with non-erodible porous lining

Flow through a channel whose walls are lined with non-erodible porous material is investigated using Beavers and Joseph slip boundary condition. It is shown that the effect of porous lining is to increase the mass flow rate and to decrease the friction factor.     

NONLINEAR WAVELET SMOOTHING OF ERROR DENSITY IN A SEMIPARAMETRIC REGRESSION MODEL

In this paper,a semlparametrie resresaion model in which errors are i. i. d random variables from an unknown density f( ) is considered. Based on Hall et al. (1995),a nonlinear wavelet estimation of f( ) without restrictions of continuity everywhere on f( ) is given,and the convergence rate of the estimators in L2 is obtained.

Iterative convergence theorems for maximal monotone operators and relatively nonexpansive mappings

In this paper, some iterative schemes for approximating the common element of the set of zero points of maximal monotone operators and the set of fixed points of relatively nonexpansive mappings in a real uniformly smooth and uniformly convex Banach space are proposed. Some strong convergence theorems are obtained, to extend the previous work.
