Normal forms for random diffeomorphisms

Given a dynamical system (,, ,) and a random diffeomorphism (): ^{d d} with fixed point at x=0. The normal form problem is to construct a smooth near-identity nonlinear random coordinate transformation h() to make the random diffeomorphism ()=h()^–1() h() as simple as possible, preferably linear. The linearization D(, 0)=:A() generates a matrix cocycle for which the multiplicative ergodic theorem holds, providing us with stochastic analogues of eigenvalues (Lyapunov exponents) and eigenspaces. Now the development runs pretty much parallel to the deterministic one, the difference being that the appearance of turns all problems into infinite-dimensional ones. In particular, the range of the homological operator is in general not closed, making the conceptof-normal form necessary. The stochastic versions of resonance and averaging are developed. The case of simple Lyapunov spectrum is treated in detail.     

The free energy of a macroscopic system

The statistical mechanics of classical and quantum mechanical systems interacting with many-body forces are investigated in the canonical and grand canonical ensembles. Under various general conditions on the attractive and repulsive parts of the potential energy and on the shapes of the domains _k confining the system, it is shown that the canonical free energy per particle and the grand canonical pressure have unique limits for infinite systems which are convex monotonie functions of the specific volume and chemical potential respectively, and satisfy the expected thermodynamic relations.For pure pair forces with potential (r) sufficient conditions are: (r)D ₁/r³⁺ as r0, |(r)|D ₂/r³⁺ as r (>0), and (r)-w₀ all r; the domains _k may be constructed from a finite set of bounded domains of arbitrary shape by any sequence of isotropic expansions such that the volume V(_k) approaches infinity with k.The work reported here was done while the author was on leave of absence from The Wheatstone Physics Laboratory, King's College, London W.

Schwere symmetrische Kreisel kleiner Nutationen

Zusammenfassung Zur Integration der Eulerschen Bewegungsgleichungen schwerer symmetrischer Kreisel werden der Winkel (t) (Abb. 1) durch (t)=₀+(t) ersetzt und in sämtlichen Reihenentwicklungen von abhängiger Funktionen die Potenzen höheren als zweiten Grades vernachlässigt. Dadurch ist es möglich, die Eulerschen Winkel (t), (t) und (t) durch elementare Formeln zu beschreiben und somit sind die wesentlichsten Erscheinungen im Bewegungsablauf der schweren symmetrischen Kreisel einfach zu übersehen.     

Some characteristic features of diffusion of a magnetic field into a moving conductor

The study of the diffusion of a magnetic field into a moving conductor is of interest in connection with the production of ultra-high-strength magnetic fields by rapid compression of conducting shells [1,2]. In [3,4] it is shown that when a magnetic field in a plane slit is compressed at constant velocity, the entire flux enters the conductor. In the present paper we formulate a general result concerning the conservation of the sum current in the cavity and conductor for arbitrary motion of the latter. We also consider a special case of conductor motion when the flux in the cavity remains constant despite the finite conductivity of the material bounding the magnetic field.Notation ₁, * flux which has diffused into the conductor - ₂ flux in the cavity - ₀ sum flux - r radius - r* cavity boundary - thickness of the skin layer - (r) delta function of r - t time - q intensity of the fluid sink - v velocity - flux which has diffused to a depth larger than r - x self-similar variable - dimensionless fraction of the flux which has diffused to a depth larger than r - * fraction of the flux which has diffused into the conductor - a conductivity - c electrodynamic constant - R_m magnetic Reynolds number - dimensionless parameter     

Two-dimensional transonic vortex flows of an ideal gas

Equations are obtained for two-dimensional transonic adiabatic (nonisoenergetic and nonisoentropic) vortex flows of an ideal gas, using the natural coordinates (=const is the family of streamlines, and =const is the family of lines orthogonal to them). It is not required that the transonic gas flow be close to a uniform sonic flow (the derivation is given without estimates). Solutions are found for equations describing vortex flows inside a Laval nozzle and near the sonic boundary of a free stream.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 105–109, September–October, 1973.     

On an inversion theorem for conical regions in elasticity theory

Summary Two-dimensional stress singularities in wedges have already drawn attention since a long time. An inverse square-root stress singularity (in a 360° wedge) plays an important role in fracture mechanics.Recently some similar three-dimensional singularities in conical regions have been investigated, from which one may be also important in fracture mechanics.Spherical coordinates are r, , . The conical region occupied by the elastic homogeneous body (and possible anisotropic) has its vertex at r=0. The mantle of the cone is described by an arbitrary function f(, )=0. The displacement components be u.

The effect of the sheet rigidity on strength of the spot weld tension shear joint

This paper presents some test and analysis results for a spot welded joint subjected to tensile and alternate load. The effect of sheet rigidity on the tensile strength and fatigue life of the spot welded joint is studied by using the stress intensity factorsK _I,K _II,K _III and an effective stress intensity factor K_max calculated by the finite element method for crack around the nugget. The results show that the effective stress intensity factor K_max is an essential parameter for estimating the fatigue life of the spot welded joint.     

On the relativistic extension of the equations of the classical gravitational potential

Summary The meaning of the vector V which characterizes the difference between the two tensor potentials of the Riemann and of the Weyl tensor is here studied. In the context of general relativity, the equations satisfied by such a vector and by the scalar potential characterizing its irrotational part, are connected to the equation proposed by Cattaneo as a relativistic extension of the Gauss-Poisson classical one. The link between the vector potential V and the standard gravitational field is thus obtained, for static universes.

Sommario Si studia il significato del vettore V che caratterizza il divario fra i tensori potenziali dei tensori di Riemann e di Weyl. Le equazioni cui soddisfano, in relatività generale, detto vettore ed il potenziale scalare che ne individua la parte irrotazionale, vengono collegate con l'equazione relativistica proposta da Cattaneo quale estensione di quella classica di Gauss-Poisson. Si perviene così, nel caso statico, a stabilire un legame fra il potenziale vettore V ed il campo gravitazionale standard.

Instability of a plane axisymmetric flow with a shear discontinuity in the velocity profile

It is proposed to investigate the stability of a plane axisymmetric flow with an angular velocity profile (r) such that the angular velocity is constant when r < r_O – L and r > r_O + L but varies monotonically from ₁ to ₂ near the point r_O, the thickness of the transition zone being small L r_O, whereas the change in velocity is not small ¦₂ – ₁¦ ₂, ₁. Obviously, as L O short-wave disturbances with respect to the azimuthal coordinate (k=m/r_O 1/r_O) will be unstable with a growth rate-close to the Kelvin—Helmholtz growth rate. In the case L=O (i.e., for a profile with a shear-discontinuity) we find the instability growth rate _O and show that where the thickness of the discontinuity L is finite (but small) the growth rate does not differ from _O up to terms proportional to kL 1 and 1/m 1. Using this example it is possible to investigate the effect of rotation on the flow stability. It is important to note that stabilization (or destabilization) of the flow in question by rotation occurs only for three-dimensional or axisymmetric perturbations.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 111–114, January–February, 1985.     

Theory of a laval nozzle for a two-phase mixture containing particles of small lag

A two-velocity and two-temperature model is considered for a continuous medium in relation to the flow of a mixture of gas and particles in the subsonic, transsonic, and supersonic parts of a Laval nozzle. It is assumed that the particles are small, and hence that the coefficients f and ^q, which define the interaction with the gas, are large (these coefficients are inversely proportional to the square of the particle radius for a Stokes mode of flow). This means that the velocity or thermal lag of the particles relative to the gas is small. The solution is sought as expansions with respect to the small parameters ₁=1/f and ₂=1/^q.Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Mekhaniki i Tekhnicheskoi Fiziki, No. 4, pp. 89–100, July–August, 1973.     

Numerical study on local entropy generation in a burner fueled with various fuels

This study considers numerical simulations of the combustions of hydrogen and various hydrocarbons with air, including 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen, in a burner and the numerical solution of the local entropy generation rate due to the high temperature and velocity gradients in the combustion chamber. The combustion is simulated for the fuel mass flow rates providing the same heat transfer rate to the combustion chamber in the each fuel case. The effects of (only in the case of H₂ fuel) and equivalence ratio () on the combustion and entropy generation rate are investigated for the different (from 5,000 to 10,000 W) and s (from 0.5 to 1.0). The numerical calculation of combustion is performed individually for all cases with the help of the Fluent CFD code. Furthermore, a computer program has been developed to numerically calculate the volumetric entropy generation rate distributions and the other thermodynamic parameters by using the results of the calculations performed with the FLUENT code. The calculations bring out that the maximum reaction rates decrease with the increase of (or the decrease of ). The large positive and negative temperature gradients occur in the axial direction, nonetheless, the increase of significantly reduces them. The calculations bring out also that with the increase of from 0.5 to 1.0, the volumetric local entropy generation rates decrease about 4% and that the merit numbers increase about 16%.     

Peristaltic pumping of a second-order fluid in a planar channel

The peristaltic motion of a non-Newtonian fluid represented by the constitutive equation for a second-order fluid was studied for the case of a planar channel with harmonically undulating extensible walls. A perturbation series for the parameter ( half-width of channel/wave length) obtained explicit terms of 0(²), 0(²Re²) and 0(₁Re²) respectively representing curvature, inertia and the non-Newtonian character of the fluid. Numerical computations were performed and compared to the perturbation analysis in order to determine the range of validity of the terms.Presented at the second conference Recent Developments in Structured Continua, May 23–25, 1990, in Sherbrooke, Québec, Canada     

Die eingespannte Halbplatte mit verformbarem Randstück und sprunghaft veränderlichen Randlasten

Übersicht Der Verformungszustand isotroper Halbplatten mit sprunghaft veränderlichen Randbedingungen kann durch zwei stückweise analytische Funktionen (z) und (z) beschrieben werden. Setzt man geeignete Funktionenkombinationen aus (z) und (z), also Funktionen, welche die Randbedingungen beschreiben, über Randteilbereiche analytisch fort, so gelingt es, lineare Kopplungsprobleme (Hilbertprobleme) der genannten Lösungsfunktionen zu definieren. Die Lösungen dieser Kopplungsprobleme zeigen, daß im Bereich von Randpunkten mit sprunghaft veränderlichen Randbedingungen Querkraft und Momentensingularitäten auftreten, die sogar oszillierenden Charakter haben können.

Summary The displacement of isotropic half-plates with mixed boundary conditions can be described by two sectionally holomorphic functions (z) and (z). Continuing analytically suitable combinations of the functions (z) and (z), defined by the boundary conditions, linear Hubert problems for the solution functions can be obtained. The solutions of these problems show, that in points of abrupt changes of the boundary conditions singularities in torques and in shear forces may arise, which might even have oscillating character.

Viscosity of suspensions modeled with a shear-dependent maximum packing fraction

A large amount of data from the literature on viscosity of concentrated suspensions of rigid spherical particles are analyzed to support the new concept that the maximum packing fraction ( _M ) is shear-dependent. Incorporation of this behavior in a rheological model for viscosity () as a function of particle volume fraction () succeeds in describing virtually all non-Newtonian effects over the entire concentration range and also accounts for a yield stress. The most successful model is one proposed by Krieger and Dougherty for Newtonian viscosities, (, _M ), but with _M varying from a low-shear limit _M0 to a high-shear limit _M. Microstructural interpretations of this behavior are advanced, with arguments suggesting that similar rheological models should apply to suspensions of nonspherical and irregular particles.Symbols a particle size scale (for spheres, the diameter) - A lumped kinetic parameter in eqs.

Representation of the rheological properties of polymer melts in terms of complex fluidity

In dynamic rheological experiments melt behavior is usually expressed in terms of complex viscosity ^* () or complex modulusG ^* (). In contrast, we attempted to use the complex fluidity ^* () = 1/µ ^* () to represent this behavior.

Free convection heat transfer from an isothermal plate with arbitrary inclination

This paper presents a new formulation for the laminar free convection from an arbitrarily inclined isothermal plate to fluids of any Prandtl number between 0.001 and infinity. A novel inclination parameter is proposed such that all cases of the horizontal, inclined and vertical plates can be described by a single set of transformed equations. Moreover, the self-similar equations for the limiting cases of the horizontal and vertical plates are recovered from the transformed equations by setting=0 and=1, respectively. Heated upward-facing plates with positive and negative inclination angles are investigated. A very accurate correlation equation of the local Nusselt number is developed for arbitrary inclination angle and for 0.001 Pr .

Theoretische Untersuchung der laminaren Zweistoff-grenzschichtströmung längs eines verdunstenden Flüssigkeitsfilms bei nichtadiabater Verdunstung

Zusammenfassung Zur Klärung der physikalischen Vorgänge im Verdampferteil einer Filmverdampfungsbrennkammer wird in Erweiterung der adiabaten Verdunstung der Fall der einseitig benetzten ebenen Platte behandelt, die sowohl im Gleichals auch im Gegenstrom von der heißen Außenluft umströmt wird. Die für beide Strömungsfälle maßgebenden Grenzschichtgleichungen werden simultan unter Berücksichtigung temperatur- und konzentrationsabhängiger Stoffwerte mit einem impliziten Differenzenverfahren gelöst. Dabei ergeben sich für den Gleichstrom ähnliche Lösungen des gekoppelten Gleichungssystems, die mit den ähnlichen, für die adiabate Verdunstung geltenden Lösungen verglichen werden. Die Berechnung der durch den Stoffübergang beeinflußten Grenzschicht parameter zeigt, daß das Modell der Gegenstromanordnung, bei der sich nichtähnliche Profile entlang der Filmoberfl äche einstellen, für einen möglichen Einsatz in einer Filmverdampfungsbrennkammer am besten geeignet ist.

Theoretical investigation on the binary laminar boundary-layer flow along a vaporizing liquid layer at non-adiabatic evaporation

For clarification the physical process in the evaporating part of a film-evaporation combustion-chamber in addition to the adiabatic evaporation the case of a one-sided wet plate in co- and counter-current hot air flow is presented. The boundary-layer equations for both streams are solved simultaneously with an implicit finite-difference method taking into account variable fluid properties. Thereby the similar solutions obtained for the co-current flow are compared with the corresponding similar solutions for the case of the adiabatic evaporation. Contrary to the co-current flow the counter-current flow yields non-similar solutions and the computation of the boundary-layer parameters influenced by the evaporation mass-flow shows, that the model of counter-current flow is best suitable for application in a film-evaporation combustion-chamber.

Methods of Small and Large δ in the Nonlinear Dynamics – A Comparative Analysis

New asymptotic approaches for dynamical systems containing a power nonlinear term x ⁿ are proposed and analyzed. Two natural limiting cases are studied: n 1 + , 1 and n . In the firstcase, the 'small method' (SM)is used and its applicability for dynamical problems with the nonlinearterm sin as well as the usefulness of the SMfor the problem with small denominators are outlined. For n , a new asymptotic approach is proposed(conditionally we call it the 'large method' –LM). Error estimations lead to the followingconclusion: the LM may be used, even for smalln, whereas the SM has a narrow application area. Both of the discussed approaches overlap all values ofthe parameter n.     

Asymptotics of the homogenized moduli for the elastic chess-board composite

We find the asymptotic behavior of the homogenized coefficients of elasticity for the chess-board structure. In the chess board white and black cells are isotropic and have Lamé constants (, ,) and (, ) respectively. We assume that the black cells are soft, so 0. It turns out that the Poisson ratio for this composite tends to zero with .
