A class of nonlinear boundary value problems for the second-order<Emphasis Type="Italic">E</Emphasis><Subscript>2</Subscript> class elliptic systems in general form

A class of nonlinear boundary value problems (BVP) for the second-order E₂ class elliptic systems in general form is discussed. By introducing a kind of transformation, this kind of BVP is reduced to a class of generalized nonlinear Riemann-Hilbert BVP. And then some singular integral operators are introduced to establish the equivalent nonlinear singular integral equations. The solvability is proved under some suitable hypotheses by means of the properties of singular integral operators and the function theoretic methods.

Evolution of a 2-D disturbance in a supersonic boundary layer and the generation of shocklets

Through direct numerical simulation, the evolution of a 2-D disturbance in a supersonic boundary layer has been investigated. At a chosen location, a small amplitude T-S wave was fed into the boundary layer to investigate its evolution. Characteristics of nonlinear evolution have been found. Two methods were applied for the detection of shocklets, and it was found that when the amplitude of the disturbance reached a certain value, shocklets would be generated, which should be taken into consideration when nonlinear theory of hydrodynamic stability for compressible flows is to be established.

The study on a kind of control system with nonlinear parabolic distributed parameters

The modelling of one kind of nonlinear parabolic distributed parameter control system with moving boundary, which had extensive applications was presented. Two methods were used to investigate the basic characteristics of the system: 1) transforming the system in the variable domain into that in the fixed domain; 2) transforming the distributed parameter system into the lumped parameter system. It is found that there are two critical values for the control variable: the larger one determines whether or not the boundary would move, while the smaller one determines whether or not the boundary would stop automatically. For one-dimensional system of planar, cylindrical and spherical cases the definite solution problem can be expressed as a unified form. By means of the computer simulation the open-loop control system and close-cycle feedback control system have been investigated. Numerical results agree well with theoretical results. The computer simulation shows that the system is well posed, stable, measurable and controllable.

Positive solutions to （n-1,1） m-point boundary value problems with dependence on the first order derivative

Using the extension of Krasnoselskii＇s fixed point theorem in a cone, we prove the existence of at least one positive solution to the nonlinear nth order m-point boundary value problem with dependence on the first order derivative. The associated Green＇s function for the nth order m-point boundary value problem is given, and growth conditions are imposed on the nonlinear term f which ensures the existence of at least one positive solution. A simple example is presented to illustrate applications of the obtained results.

NEW POINTS OF VIEW ON THE NONLOCAL FIELD THEORY AND THEIR APPLICATIONS TO THE FRACTURE MECHANICS(Ⅱ)--RE-DISCUSS NONLINEAR CONSTITUTIVE EQUATIONS OF NON-LOCAL THERMOELASTIC BODIES

In this paper, nonlinear constitutive equations are deduced strictly according to the constitutive axioms of rational continuum mechanics. The existing judgments are modified and improved. The results show that the constitutive responses of nonlocal thermoelastic body are related to the curvature and higher order gradient of its material space, and there exists an antisymmetric stress whose average value in the domain occupied by thermoelastic body is equal to zero. The expressions of the antisymmetric stress and the nonlocal residuals are given. The conclusion that the directions of thermal conduction and temperature gradient are consistent is reached. In addition, the objectivity about the nonlocal residuals and the energy conservation law of nonlocal field is discussed briefly, and a formula for calculating the nonlocal residuals of energy changing with rigid motion of the spatial frame of reference is derived.

Numerical analysis of delamination growth for stiffened composite laminated plates

A study of postbuckling and delamination propagation behavior in delaminated stiffened composite plates was presented. A methodology was proposed for simulating the multi-failure responses, such as initial and postbuckling, delamination onset and propagation, etc. A finite element analysis was conducted on the basis of the Mindlin first order shear effect theory and the von-K6rm~n nonlinear deformation assumption. The total energy release rate used as the criteria of delamination growth was estimated with virtual crack closure technique (VCCT). A self-adaptive grid moving technology was adopted to model the delamination growth process. Moreover, the contact effect along delamination front was also considered during the numerical simulation process. By some numerical examples, the influence of distribution and location of stiffener, configuration and size of the delamination, boundary condition and contact effect upon the delamination growth behavior of the stiffened composite plates were investigated. The method and numerical conclusion provided should be of great value to engineers dealing with composite structures.

RESTUDY OF COUPLED FIELD THEORIES FOR MICROPOLAR CONTINUA (Ⅱ)-THERMOPIEZOELECTRICITY AND MAGNETOTHERMOELASTICITY

The theories of thermopiezoelectricity and magnetoelasticity for micropolar continua have been systematically developed by W. Nowacki. In this paper, the theories are restudied. The reason why they were restricted to linear cases is analyzed. The more general conservation principle of energy, energy balance equation and Hamilton principle of thermopiezoelectricity and magnetoelasticity for micropolar continua are established. The corresponding complete equations of motion and boundary conditions as well as balance equations of energy rate for local and nonlocal micropolar thermopiezoelectricity and magnetothermoelasticity are naturally derived. By means of two new functionals and total variation the boundary conditions of displacement, microrotation, electric potential and temperature are also given.
