Bendable Surfaces without Visible Deformations of Their Shape

Mathematical Notes - It is proved that the slide bendings of cylindrical and conical surfaces are trivial only in the cases of a right circular cylinder and a right circular cone, and that in all...     

Infinitesimal Isometric Deformations of a Pseudospherical Shell

We consider a thin linear elastic isotropic shell of constant thickness. We assume that it undergoes deformations of the Kirchhoff–Love type and derive some explicit formulas for certain infinitesimal isometric deformations of a pseudospherical shell by considering a linearized version of this problem.     

Problem-Oriented Functionals in the Theory of Nonlinearly Elastic Composite Shells

Based on the Kirchhoff-Love or Timoshenko hypotheses and with regard for a possible membrane or shear degeneration, mixed linearized functionals for four variants of shell theory are presented. The convergence of numerical methods is improved by choosing small strain components as additional variable functions. New classes of problems for thin and nonthin shells are solved. The stress-strain state of shells is studied using different variants of this theory.     

Nonlinear Dynamics on the Plane and Integrable Hierarchies of Infinitesimal Deformations

A class of nonlinear problems on the plane, described by nonlinear inhomogeneous     -equations, is considered. It is shown that the corresponding dynamics, generated by deformations of inhomogeneous terms (sources), is described by Hamilton–Jacobi-type equations associated with hierarchies of dispersionless integrable systems. These hierarchies are constructed by applying the quasiclassical     -dressing method.     

Deformations and Moduli of Superminimal Surfaces in the Four-Sphere

In this article we derive an expression for the second variation of area of a superminimal immersion f:² S⁴ and the corresponding Jacobi operator. We then show the only minimal deformations of the given immersion are superminimal deformations with the implication that the superminimal immersions forms an open component of the moduli of minimal immersions. Also, one may then address questions of nullity and integrability of Jacobi fields with fairly standard methods from algebraic geometry.     

Weierstrass Representations for Surfaces in 4D Spaces and Their Integrable Deformations via DS Hierarchy

Generalized Weierstrass representations for generic surfaces conformally immersed into four-dimensional Euclidean and pseudo-Euclidean spaces of different signatures are presented. Integrable deformations of surfaces in these spaces generated by the Davey–Stewartson hierarchy of integrable equations are proposed. The Willmore functional of a surface is invariant under such deformations.     

Lie Atoms and Their Deformations

A Lie atom is essentially a pair of Lie algebras and its deformation theory is that of a deformation with respect to the first algebra, endowed with a trivialization with respect to the second. Such deformations occur commonly in algebraic geometry, for instance as deformations of subvarieties of a fixed ambient variety. Here we study some basic notions related to Lie atoms, focussing especially on their deformation theory, in particular the universal deformation. We introduce Jacobi–Bernoulli cohomology, which yields the deformation ring, and show that, under suitable hypotheses, infinitesimal deformations are classified by certain Kodaira–Spencer data.

Deformations of Period Lattices of Flexible Polyhedral Surfaces

At the end of the 19th century Bricard discovered the phenomenon of flexible polyhedra, that is, polyhedra with rigid faces and hinges at edges that admit non-trivial flexes. One of the most important results in this field is a theorem of Sabitov, asserting that the volume of a flexible polyhedron is constant during the flexion. In this paper we study flexible polyhedral surfaces in  $\mathbb {R}^{3}$ , doubly periodic with respect to translations by two non-collinear vectors, that can vary continuously during the flexion. The main result is that the period lattice of a flexible doubly periodic surface that is homeomorphic to the plane cannot have two degrees of freedom.     

厚壳理论及其在圆柱壳中的应用

本文从Hellinger-Reissner广义变分原理出发,以位移和应力的假设为基础,建立了厚壳理论.文中把壳体的位移展开为其厚度方向的幂级数,对平行和垂直于中面的位移分别保留其级数的前四项和前三项.并假定壳体的法向挤压和横向剪切应力沿壳厚为三次曲线,使其满足上下壳面上的应力条件,利用变分原理推导出分析厚壳所需的物理方程,平衡方程和边界条件.文中对圆柱壳的情况作了实例计算,并作了光弹性实验,结果表明理论和实验符合良好.     

弹性圆柱壳扭转屈曲研究

本文给出两端固支的弹性圆柱壳扭转屈曲实验与理论计算结果.实验发现,对于较长的壳,其屈曲后的变形并不占据整个壳体的长度.另外在计算中仅考虑壳体的法向边界条件,而不考虑其周向和轴向边界条件,结果和Yamaki精确解以及本文实验结果相符较好,说明周向和轴向边界条件对圆柱壳的扭转屈曲影响较小.     

Induced Surfaces and Their Integrable Dynamics Ii. Generalized Weierstrass Representations in 4-d Spaces and Deformations via Ds Hierarchy

Extensions of the generalized Weierstrass representation to generic surfaces in 4-D Euclidean and pseudo-Euclidean spaces are given. Geometric characteristics of surfaces are calculated. It is shown that integrable deformations of such induced surfaces are generated by the Davey–Stewartson hierarchy. Geometrically, these deformations are characterized by the invariance of an infinite set of functionals over surface. The Willmore functional (the total squared mean curvature) is the simplest of them. Various particular classes of surfaces and their integrable deformations are considered.

Orthogonal Surfaces and Their CP-Orders

Orthogonal surfaces are nice mathematical objects which have interesting connections to various fields, e.g., integer programming, monomial ideals and order dimension. While orthogonal surfaces in one or two dimensions are rather trivial already the three dimensional case has a rich structure with connections to Schnyder woods, planar graphs and three-polytopes. Our objective is to detect more of the structure of orthogonal surfaces in four and higher dimensions. In particular we are driven by the question which non-generic orthogonal surfaces have a polytopal structure. We review the state of knowledge of the three-dimensional situation. On that basis we introduce terminology for higher dimensional orthogonal surfaces and continue with the study of characteristic points and the cp-orders of orthogonal surfaces, i.e., the dominance orders on the characteristic points. In the generic case these orders are (almost) face lattices of polytopes. Examples show that in general cp-orders can lack key properties of face lattices. We investigate extra requirements which may help to have cp-orders which are face lattices. Finally, we turn the focus and ask for the realizability of polytopes on orthogonal surfaces. There are criteria which prevent large classes of simplicial polytopes from being realizable. On the other hand we identify some families of polytopes which can be realized on orthogonal surfaces.      

Stability of Conical Shells of Metal Composites Beyond the Elastic Limit

The equations for integral instantaneous characteristics of composite materials consisting of elastoplastic fibers and matrix are derived based on the known hypotheses of uniform strain or stress fields. The constitutive relations for a layered shell are obtained. The numerical algorithm elaborated is used to solve the stability problem for conical boron-aluminum shells under external pressure and axial compression. It is shown that the shells of medium thickness lose their stability under loads whose magnitude depends on the plasticity of the binder. The plasticity has a decisive influence on the choice of the optimum directions of reinforcement. If the parameters of a shell are such that the buckling occurs beyond the elastic limit, the shell must be reinforced in the direction of precritical stresses. However, this is possible only upon separate action of loads.
