Correctness of the formulation of symmetric problems of the mechanics of shallow shells with cuts

The behavior of the edges of cuts in shallow shells with the symmetric combined action of tension and flexure is investigated. For shells of different curvature with one and two parallel or collinear cuts, the load region in which there is no contact of the cut edges in the course of shell deformation is determined.Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Prikladnaya Mekhanika, No. 19, pp. 98–100, 1988.     

The large-particle method in arbitrary nets and its application to the solution of problems in the aeroelasticity of a parachute

Modifications are introduced into the large-particle method to make it possible to use the method in arbitrary nonrectangular computing nets in the study of the flow of an ideal compressible gas over mobile thin permeable membranes. A problem in the aeroelasticity of a parachute is stated. An example is given of the solution of a problem in the stationary formulation for an axially symmetric parachute in the wake of a cylindrical leading body for supersonic flow.Translated fromDinamicheskie Sistemy, No. 6, 1987, pp. 16–22     

Excess noise peaks in porous silicon-based diode structures

Results of an experimental observation of the voltage oscillations associated with a discrete tunneling of holes in porous silicon at room temperature are presented. The noise characteristics of diode structures with a porous silicon interlayer formed on heavily boron-doped silicon single crystals are studied. Peaks of excessive noise are observed at frequencies of ～1 MHz, at which single-electron oscillations should be expected. The peak noise power is found to increase with current according to the ～2.5 power law and, at a current density of 0.15 A/cm², to exceed the noise power of the receiver by three to four orders of magnitude. The complex shape of the noise spectrum and its extension to the higher frequency region with increasing current are explained by the three-dimensionality of the system of nanometer-sized silicon grains embedded in insulating silicon dioxide of porous silicon.     

On the problem of stochastic differential inclusions

In this paper we study a stochastic differential equation with multivalued maximally monotone drift operator. Under certain assumptions on the growth of the multivalued operator we prove a theorem on the existence and uniqueness of the solution of such an equation.Translated fromTeoriya Sluchainykh Protsessov, Vol. 15, pp. 54–59, 1987.     

Complex dynamics of a simple distributed self-oscillatory model system with delay

A simple model for a distributed self-oscillatory system with cubic nonlinearity and delay is presented. Conditions for oscillation self-excitation and stationary oscillation conditions, as well as the stability of the oscillations, are analyzed. Nonstationary self-modulation regimes (including conditions of complex dynamics and chaos) are simulated numerically over a wide range of control parameters. As the factor of nonequilibrium grows, regular and chaotic regimes alternate in a complex manner. The transitions to chaos may follow all scenarios known for finite-dimensional systems. The model suggested is somewhat akin to a number of earlier finite-dimensional models aimed at studying mode competition in resonance electron masers.     

Relaxation dynamics of a broadband nanosecond acoustic pulse in a bubbly medium

The first experimental observation of the propagation dynamics of a short broadband acoustic pulse in a resonance medium with gas bubbles is carried out. The probing pulse is generated using the optoacoustic effect. It is shown that the theory of short pulse propagation in media with generalized resonance relaxation adequately and accurately describes the dynamics of short pulse dispersion. A possibility to determine the relaxation and resonance parameters of media by the pulsed testing technique is demonstrated.
