A Problem in Applied Topology: on the Selection of Cycles for the Flexibility Analysis of Skeletal Structures

A theory of generalized statical bases is developed for usein the flexibility methods as applied to skeletal structuralproblems. It is shown that any maximal linearly independentset of cycles of the integral cycle group of a linear graphmodel of the structure may be used in the formation of a staticalbasis. Such a set of simple cycles is found by embedding thisgraph into a two-dimensional polyhedron. Cell complexes areformed so that the simple cycles bounding the 2-cells correspondto substructures on which a statical basis may be constructed.Two methods are given for the construction of the embeddings.In one a collapsible complex is formed from a union of a setof disks; while in the other the embedding is into an orientablemanifold which is modified to form an admissible complex.     

High-resolution FTIR spectrum of vinyl chloride: rovibrational analysis of the v 10 and v 11 fundamental bands

The Fourier transform gas-phase infrared spectra of the v ₁₀ and v ₁₁ bands of natural CH₂=CHCl have been measured with a resolution of 0.005 cm^?1 in the frequency range 820–1010 cm^?1. These vibrations of symmetry species A″ give rise to c-type bands and the transitions observed are characterized by δK _a = ±1 and δK _c = 0, ±2. Both J and K structures have been resolved in different subbranches and about 1800 (J ≤ 64, K _a ≤ 13) and 2800 (J ≤ 72, K _a ≤ 14) transitions for the v ₁₀ and v ₁₁ fundamentals, respectively, have been identified for the ³⁵Cl isotopomer. Combined analysis of the assigned data with the available ground state constants allowed the determination of the band origins, rotational and centrifugal distortion parameters for the v ₁₀ = 1 and v ₁₁ = 1 excited states of CH₂=CH³⁵Cl isotopic species. The molecular constants obtained account for slight perturbations in the v ₁₀ vibrational level.     

Dynamics on reactive potential energy surfaces: hyperspherical view and signatures of ‘quantum chaos’

Adiabatic energy levels for two prototypical reactions, F + H₂ → HF + H and He + H⁺ ₂ → HeH⁺ + H, are analysed by means of statistical tests. These levels result from quantum mechanical calculations of dynamics based on the hyperspherical approach, and are given as a function of the total inertia of the system measured by the hyperradius ρ The nearest neighbour level spacing distributions of Brody and of Berry and Robnik, the spectral rigidity δ₃ of Dyson and Mehta and the correlation coefficient are reported, together with other properties, such as variance, skewness and kurtosis of the distributions. Trends are studied as a function of ρ, proposed as a natural control variable. For low ρ, which correspond to the transition state, evidence is found of Wigner-like behaviour, which is interpreted as the signature of quantum chaos. On the passage of the systems through intermediate ρ a mixture of Wigner- and Poisson-like behaviour emerges. The situation for high ρ where reactants and products of the reactions are well separated, is characterized by a tendency towards regular Poisson-like behaviour. A comparison between the two investigated systems shows that the chaotic regime in the transition state region is more pronounced for the He reaction, which proceeds through a deep well and whose dynamics are characterized by a rich resonance pattern.     

AN APPROXIMATE PROJECTION SCHEME FOR INCOMPRESSIBLE FLOW USING SPECTRAL ELEMENTS

An approximate projection scheme based on the pressure correction method is proposed to solve the Navier–Stokes equations for incompressible flow. The algorithm is applied to the continuous equations; however, there are no problems concerning the choice of boundary conditions of the pressure step. The resulting velocity and pressure are consistent with the original system. For the spatial discretization a high-order spectral element method is chosen. The high-order accuracy allows the use of a diagonal mass matrix, resulting in a very efficient algorithm. The properties of the scheme are extensively tested by means of an analytical test example. The scheme is further validated by simulating the laminar flow over a backward-facing step.     

Preparation and characterization of poly(butylene terephthalate)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) copolymers via solid‐state and melt polymerization

To increase the T_g in combination with a retained crystallization rate, bis(2‐hydroxyethyl)terephthalate (BHET) was incorporated into poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) via solid‐state copolymerization (SSP). The incorporated BHET fraction depends on the miscibility of BHET in the amorphous phase of PBT prior to SSP. DSC measurements showed that BHET is only partially miscible. During SSP, the miscible BHET fraction reacts via transesterification reactions with the mobile amorphous PBT segments. The immiscible BHET fraction reacts by self‐condensation, resulting in the formation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) homopolymer. ¹H‐NMR sequence distribution analysis showed that self‐condensation of BHET proceeded faster than the transesterification with PBT. SAXS measurements showed an increase in the long period with increasing fraction BHET present in the mixtures used for SSP followed by a decrease due to the formation of small PET crystals. DSC confirmed the presence of separate PET crystals. Furthermore, the incorporation of BHET via SSP resulted in PBT‐PET copolymers with an increased T_g compared to PBT. However, these copolymers showed a poorer crystallization behavior. The modified copolymer chain segments are apparently fully miscible with the unmodified PBT chains in the molten state. Consequently, the crystal growth process is retarded resulting in a decreased crystallization rate and crystallinity. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 45: 882–899, 2007.
