Nonlinear flutter of viscoelastic rectangular plates and cylindrical panels of a composite with a concentrated masses

The problem of flutter of viscoelastic rectangular plates and cylindrical panels with concentrated masses is studied in a geometrically nonlinear formulation. In the equation of motion of the plate and panel, the effect of concentrated masses is accounted for using the δ-Dirac function. The problem is reduced to a system of nonlinear ordinary integrodifferential equations by using the Bubnov-Galerkin method. The resulting system with a weakly singular Koltunov-Rzhanitsyn kernel is solved by employing a numerical method based on quadrature formulas. The behavior of viscoelastic rectangular plates and cylindrical panels is studied and the critical flow velocities are determined for real composite materials over wide ranges of physicomechanical and geometrical parameters.     

Boundary value problems with continuous and special gluing conditions for parabolic-hyperbolic type equations

In the present paper we study the unique solvability of two non-local boundary value problems with continuous and special gluing conditions for parabolic-hyperbolic type equations. The uniqueness of the solutions of the considered problems are proven by the “abc” method. Existence theorems for the solutions of these problems are proven by the method of integral equations. The obtained results can be used for studying local and non-local boundary-value problems for mixed-hyperbolic type equations with two and three lines of changing type.

The vibration problem of a viscoelastic cylindrical shell is studied in a geometrically nonlinear formulation using the refined Timoshenko theory. The problem is solved by the Bubnov–Galerkin procedure combined with a numerical method based on quadrature formulas. The choice of relaxation kernels is substantiated for solving dynamic problems of viscoelastic systems. The numerical convergence of the Bubnov–Galerkin procedure is examined. The effect of viscoelastic properties of the material on the response of the cylindrical shell is discussed. The results obtained by various theories are compared.

Quantization of the Lie Bialgebra of String Topology

Let M be a smooth, simply-connected, closed oriented manifold, and LM the free loop space of M. Using a Poincaré duality model for M, we show that the reduced equivariant homology of LM has the structure of a Lie bialgebra, and we construct a Hopf algebra which quantizes the Lie bialgebra.
