Numerical solution of the problem of optimal control of the heating of a thermoelastic plate by internal heat sources

We give the statement and numerical solution of the problem of optimal control (in the sense of rapidity of response) of the heating of an unbounded plate by internal heat sources in the presence of restrictions on the maximal (in absolute value) thermal stresses. In constructing the solution of this nonlinear optimal control problem we use the method of the inverse heat conduction problem.     

Speed-optimal control of heating of inhomogeneous bodies by internal heat sources with constraints on the parameters of the thermal process

We use the method of the inverse heat-conduction problem to state and construct a numerical solution of the problem of speed-optimal control of the one-dimensional nonstationary thermal regimes of inhomogeneous bodies using internal heat sources with constraints on the control and the parameters of the thermal process. The control problem is nonlinear since the maximal values of the constraining parameters are attained at internal points of the body whose position changes during heating.

Determination of three-dimensional temperature fields in multiply connected orthotropic bodies under heating with heat sources and flows

We present an algorithm for calculating temperature fields in orthotropic bodies of complex shape, which is based on the method of integral equations. To develop the algorithm, the heat conduction boundary-value problem for orthotropic bodies is preliminarily reduced to the corresponding heat conduction problems for isotropic bodies with modified boundary conditions and heat sources. An investigation of the influence of anisotropy on temperature fields in a bounded and an infinite body with a cavity that are heated by heat sources and flows is performed.     

Scattering of sound by an inhomogeneous thermoelastic spherical layer

The diffraction of sound by a radially layered isotropic thermoelastic spherical shell is considered. The system of equations for small perturbations of a hollow thermoelastic sphere is reduced to a system of ordinary differential equations, the boundary-value problem for which is solved by a spline-collocation method. Expressions are obtained which describe the wave fields outside the spherical layer. The results of calculations of the frequency and angular dependences of the amplitude of the scattered sound field in the far zone are presented.

Two-dimensional problem of a two-temperature generalized thermoelastic half-space subjected to ramp-type heating

In this work, we will consider a half-space filled with an elastic material, which has constant elastic parameters. The governing equations are taken in the context of the theory of two-temperature generalized thermoelasticity. A linear temperature ramping function is used to more realistically model thermal loading of the half-space surface. The medium is assumed initially quiescent. Laplace and Fourier transform techniques are used to obtain the general solution for any set of boundary conditions. The general solution obtained is applied to a specific problem of a half-space subjected to ramp-type heating. The inverse Fourier transforms are obtained analytically while the inverse Laplace transforms are computed numerically using a method based on Fourier expansion techniques. Some comparisons have been shown in figures to estimate the effect of the ramping parameter of heating.     

OnLagrange's triangular solution of the problem of three bodies

Conclusion The equality of the mutual distances of all the particles is of basic importance in the expansion ofLagrange's theorem to general central forces. It seems to me that in more general cases the corresponding generalizations of propositions 2.4. and 2.5. do not hold. I suppose that, there is a close relation, perhaps a kind of conditional equivalence, between the concepts of homographic solution, perpetual central configuration and homogeneous force, but I have not been able to prove my supposition, except under additional assumptions which decrease the interest in the statements. I hope somebody else will be more successful.     

Scalar problem of plane wave diffraction by a system of nonintersecting screens and inhomogeneous bodies

The scalar problem of plane wave diffraction by a system of bodies and infinitely thin screens is considered in a quasi-classical formulation. The solution is sought in the classical sense but is defined not in the entire space ?³ but rather everywhere except for the screen edges. The original boundary value problem for the Helmholtz equation is reduced to a system of weakly singular integral equations in the regions occupied by the bodies and on the screen surfaces. The equivalence of the integral and differential formulations is proven, and the solvability of the system in the Sobolev spaces is established. The integral equations are approximately solved by the Bubnov-Galerkin method. The convergence of the method is proved, its software implementation is described, and numerical results are presented.     

Numerical solution of the three-dimensional Dirichlet problem for inhomogeneous media by the method of integral equations

We consider the three-dimensional Dirichlet problem for equations of elliptic type in inhomogeneous media. The problem can be reduced to a system of loaded Fredholm integral equations of the second kind over the volume. We prove the uniqueness of a classical solution of the problem. We suggest a numerical solution algorithm of iterative type. An example of the numerical solution of the problem is considered, and the convergence of the iterative procedure is demonstrated numerically.

Quasi-three-dimensional theory for solution of dynamic thermoelastic problem of laminated composite plates

An uncoupled dynamic thermoelastic problem for laminated composite plates has been considered. The hypotheses used take into account the nonlinear distribution of temperature and displacements over the thickness of a laminated plate. On the basis of these hypotheses a quasi-three-dimensional (layerwise) theory is constructed that makes it possible to investigate the internal thermal and stress-strain states, as well as the edge effects of the boundary layer type for laminated plates. Systems of the heat conduction and motion equations are derived using the variational method. The order of the equations depends on the number of layers and terms in expansions of temperature and displacements of each layer. An analytical solution of the dynamic thermoelastic problem is presented for a cross-ply laminated rectangular plate with simply supported edges. The reliability of the results is confirmed by a comparison with the known exact solutions. The results based on the proposed theory can be used for verifying various two-dimensional plate theories when solving the dynamic thermoelastic problems for laminated composite plates.     

A stochastic half-space problem in the theory of generalized thermoelastic diffusion including heat source

A stochastic half-space problem, driven by an additive Gaussian white noise, is considered within the context of the theory of generalized thermoelastic diffusion with one relaxation time. The bounding surface is traction free and subjected to a time dependent thermal shock. A permeating substance is considered in contact with the bounding surface. Laplace transform technique is used to obtain the solution in the transformed domain by using a direct approach. The mean and variance are derived and analyzed for temperature, displacement, stress, strain, concentration and chemical potential. The asymptotic behavior for the solution is discussed. Numerical results are carried out and represented graphically. The second sound effect is observed in the simulation.

The determination of two moving heat sources in two-dimensional inverse heat problem

There are some restrictions in the estimation of location and strength problems in recent studies. One of the restrictions is that the problem is limited to the static sources and the single moving source. In other words, there is no method available to estimate the location and the strength of two moving sources presently. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a robust method to estimate the location and the strength of two moving heat sources. In this paper, a numerical algorithm is proposed to determine the problem sequentially. Special feature about this method is that no preselect functional form for the unknown sources is necessary and no sensitivity analysis is needed in the algorithm. Two examples are used to demonstrate the characteristics of the proposed method. From the results, they show that the proposed method is an accurate and efficient method to determine the location and the strength of two moving sources in the inverse heat conduction problem.
