Stresses of a rotating circular disk of variable thickness carrying a current and bearing a coaxial viscoelastic coating

In the present work we consider a circular elastic disk (conductor) of variable thickness under the influence of a steady coaxial current and bearing a coaxial viscoelastic coating (insulator). In both conductor and insulator there exist a heat source generation. As a first step, the solution of purely elastic conductor and insulator is obtained. Then the problem of model with viscoelastic coating is solved using the correspondence principle and Ilyushin’s approximation method. A numerical example is given and the results are discussed in order to investigate the influences of time, temperature, and rotation on the stresses and displacements.     

On a Class of Elliptic Problems and Its Application to Heat Transfer in Nonconvex Bodies

This work presents a procedure for constructing the solution to a class of problems with application to heat transfer processes in which the energy reemission is not negligible. Such problems are characterized by a Poisson equation subjected to certain nonlinear boundary conditions. The solution is constructed from a sequence whose elements may be obtained from a minimum principle. Some practical situations are presented.

Inverse prediction of frictional heat flux and temperature in sliding contact with a protective strip by iterative regularization method

In this study, an inverse algorithm based on the conjugate gradient method and the discrepancy principle is applied to estimate the unknown time-dependent frictional heat flux at the interface of two semi-spaces, one of them is covered by a strip of coating, during a sliding-contact process from the knowledge of temperature measurements taken within one of the semi-space. It is assumed that no prior information is available on the functional form of the unknown heat generation; hence the procedure is classified as the function estimation in inverse calculation. Results show that the relative position between the measured and the estimated quantities is of crucial importance to the accuracy of the inverse algorithm. The current methodology can be applied to the prediction of heat generation in engineering problems involving sliding-contact elements.     

Combined mollification—future temperatures procedure for solution of inverse heat conduction problem

The inverse heat conduction problem involves the calculation of surface heat flux and/or temperature histories from transient, measured temperatures inside solids. This paper proposes and investigates a new combined procedure that is based on two different methods: a data filtering interpretation of the mollification method and Beck's future temperature method. A test case is investigated of a semi-infinite body exposed to a heat flux that is initially zero, has a unit increase, an then drops to zero. The combined procedure is shown to be accurate and stable with respect to perturbations in the data even for small dimensionless time steps. The future temperatures method can be significantly improved upon by the combined procedure.     

On the classical limit of quantum mechanics,fundamental graininess and chaos: Compatibility of chaos with the correspondence principle

The aim of this paper is to review the classical limit of Quantum Mechanics and to precise the well known threat of chaos (and fundamental graininess) to the correspondence principle. We will introduce a formalism for this classical limit that allows us to find the surfaces defined by the constants of the motion in phase space. Then in the integrable case we will find the classical trajectories, and in the non-integrable one the fact that regular initial cells become “amoeboid-like”. This deformations and their consequences can be considered as a threat to the correspondence principle unless we take into account the characteristic timescales of quantum chaos. Essentially we present an analysis of the problem similar to the one of Omnès (1994,1999), but with a simpler mathematical structure.     

Some properties of Hermite-based Sheffer polynomials

In this paper, the concepts and the formalism associated with monomiality principle and Sheffer sequences are used to introduce family of Hermite-based Sheffer polynomials. Some properties of Hermite-Sheffer polynomials are considered. Further, an operational formalism providing a correspondence between Sheffer and Hermite-Sheffer polynomials is developed. Furthermore, this correspondence is used to derive several new identities and results for members of Hermite-Sheffer family.     

Minimizing the natural fuel requirement for nuclear reactor power systems: A nonstandard optimal control problem

A class of model problems in nuclear reactor economics is defined and shown to be equivalent to a linear optimal control problem to which present versions of the maximum principle apparently cannot be applied. It is shown that the search for an optimal control can be restricted tocontrols of maximum fuel utilization (Comfu), and that theComfu's are in a one-to-one correspondence with the functions which satisfy certain inequalities and are solutions of a nonlinear Volterra integral equation containing the value of the cost functional as a parameter. In the general case, one can establish an iterative procedure, involving solution of the integral equation at each iteration, for approximating the optimalComfu. For some important special cases, a point on the solution corresponding to the optimalComfu is knowna priori, and thus the optimalComfu can be obtained by solving the integral equation only once. Some possible generalizations of the original economic model are also discussed.This research was sponsored by the US Atomic Energy Commission under contract with the Union Carbide Corporation.     

An improved unit decommitment algorithm for combined heat and power systems

This paper addresses the unit commitment in multi-period combined heat and power (CHP) production planning, considering the possibility to trade power on the spot market. In CHP plants (units), generation of heat and power follows joint characteristics, which means that production planning for both heat and power must be done in coordination. We present an improved unit decommitment (IUD) algorithm that starts with an improved initial solution with less heat surplus so that the relative cost-efficiency of the plants can be determined more accurately. Then the subsequent decommitment procedures can decommit (switch off) the least cost-efficient plants properly. The improved initial solution for the committed plants is generated by a heuristic procedure. The heuristic procedure utilizes both the Lagrangian relaxation principle that relaxes the system-wide (heat and power) demand constraints and a linear relaxation of the ON/OFF states of the plants. We compare the IUD algorithm with realistic test data against a generic unit decommitment (UD) algorithm. Numerical results show that IUD is an overall improvement of UD. The solution quality of IUD is better than that of UD for almost all of tested cases. The maximum improvement is 11.3% and the maximum degradation is only 0.04% (only two sub-cases out of 216 sub-cases) with an average improvement of 0.3–0.5% for different planning horizons. Moreover, IUD is more efficient (1.1–3 times faster on average) than UD.     

A procedure for determining a spacewise dependent heat source and the initial temperature

The inverse problem of determining a spacewise dependent heat source, together with the initial temperature for the parabolic heat equation, using the usual conditions of the direct problem and information from two supplementary temperature measurements at different instants of time is studied. These spacewise dependent temperature measurements ensure that this inverse problem has a unique solution, despite the solution being unstable, hence the problem is ill-posed. We propose an iterative algorithm for the stable reconstruction of both the initial data and the source based on a sequence of well-posed direct problems for the parabolic heat equation, which are solved at each iteration step using the boundary element method. The instability is overcome by stopping the iterations at the first iteration for which the discrepancy principle is satisfied. Numerical results are presented for a typical benchmark test example, which has the input measured data perturbed by increasing amounts of random noise. The numerical results show that the proposed procedure gives accurate numerical approximations in relatively few iterations.     

SOLUTION OF BACKWARD HEAT PROBLEM BY MOROZOV DISCREPANCY PRINCIPLE AND CONDITIONAL STABILITY

Consider a 1-D backward heat conduction problem with Robin boundary condition. We recover u(x, 0) and u(x, t0) for to ∈(0, T) from the measured data u(x, T) respectively. The first problem is solved by the Morozov discrepancy principle for which a 3-order iteration procedure is applied to determine the regularizing parameter. For the second one, we combine the conditional stability with the Tikhonov regularization together to construct the regularizing solution for which the convergence rate is also established. Numerical results are given to show the validity of our inversion method     

Justification of the adiabatic principle for hyperbolic Ginzburg-Landau equations

We study the adiabatic limit in hyperbolic Ginzburg-Landau equations which are the Euler-Lagrange equations for the Abelian Higgs model. By passing to the adiabatic limit in these equations, we establish a correspondence between the solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau equations and adiabatic trajectories in the moduli space of static solutions, called vortices. Manton proposed a heuristic adiabatic principle stating that every solution of the Ginzburg-Landau equations with sufficiently small kinetic energy can be obtained as a perturbation of some adiabatic trajectory. A rigorous proof of this result has been found recently by the first author.     

On the calculation of heat transfer rates in fully turbulent wall flows

A wall function for heat transfer is derived from the heat and mass transfer laws developed by Kader and Yaglom for turbulent wall flows. The wall function is used as a component of a prediction procedure to compute heat transfer rates in boundary layers, pipes, and wall jets. The results are generally in good agreement with the experimental data, but under most conditions the new function gives only a relatively minor improvement over existing functions. However, significant improvement is obtained for very large molecular Prandtl numbers.     

Initial-boundary value problems in linear viscoelasticity on the half-space

After deriving the linear hereditary constitutive laws for viscoelasticity, deducing frequency representation and the correspondence principle to linear elastodynamics the weak form of the equations of motion and their decomposition into pseudo-wave equations are stated. Applying a Laplace transform in the time domain the Green's tensor is constructed by means of a spatial distributional Fourier transform. A detailed discussion of the four main initial-boundary value problems with prescribed displacement and traction components on the plane {x₃ = 0} leads to half-space representations by inverse Fourier integrals. Finally some asymptotic behaviour of the solution in the original time domain is deduced.     

BILINEAR FORMS AND LINEAR CODES

Abraham Lempel et al^[1] made a connection between linear codes and systems of bilinear forms over finite fields. In this correspondence, a new simple proof of a theorem in [1] is presented; in addition, the encoding process and the decoding procedure of RS codes are simplified via circulant matrices. Finally, the results show that the correspondence between bilinear forms and linear codes is not unique.     

Adiabatic limit in the Ginzburg-Landau and Seiberg-Witten equations

We study an adiabatic limit in (2 + 1)-dimensional hyperbolic Ginzburg-Landau equations and 4-dimensional symplectic Seiberg-Witten equations. In dimension 3 = 2+1 the limiting procedure establishes a correspondence between solutions of Ginzburg-Landau equations and adiabatic paths in the moduli space of static solutions, called vortices. The 4-dimensional adiabatic limit may be considered as a complexification of the (2+1)-dimensional procedure with time variable being “complexified.” The adiabatic limit in dimension 4 = 2+2 establishes a correspondence between solutions of Seiberg-Witten equations and pseudoholomorphic paths in the moduli space of vortices.     

Different types of spdes in the eyes of girsanov's theorem

We prove Girsanov's theorem for continuous orthogonal martingale measures. We then define space-time SDEs, and use Girsanov's theorem to establish a oneto- one correspondence between solutions of two space-time SDEs differing only by a drift coefficient. For such stochastic equations, we give necessary conditions under which the laws of their solutions are absolutely continuous with respect to each other. Using Girsanov's theorem again, we prove additional existence and uniqueness results for space-time SDEs. The same one-to-one correspondence and absolute continuity theorems are also proved for the stochastic heat and wave equations     

An invariance principle for a finite dimensional stochastic approximation method in a Hilbert space

For the application of the classical Robbins-Monro procedure in a Hilbert space the statistician generally has to observe infinite dimensional vectors. A modified procedure is proposed, which works in appropriate finite dimensional subspaces of growing dimension. For this procedure an invariance principle is given together with some applications.
