Backlund Transformation and Exact Solutions for a New Generalized Zakharov-Kuzentsov Equation with Nonlinear Terms of Any Order

In this paper, with the help of symbolic computation, a new Backlund transformation (BT) for a newgeneralized Zakharov-Kuznetsov equation with nonlinear term of any order, ut+aupux +bu2pux +γuxy +δuxxx +ρuxyy=0, is obtained by using the homogeneous balance method. Based on the BT, some exact solutions are presented.     

Dynamics of Triangulations

We study a few problems related to Markov processes of flipping triangulations of the sphere. We show that these processes are ergodic and mixing, but find a natural example which does not satisfy detailed balance. In this example, the expected distribution of the degrees of the nodes seems to follow the power law d ⁻⁴.     

Study on some aspects of the “singer's formant” in north indian classical singing

This article deals with a spectrographic analysis of the singer's formant as occurred during singing of the vowels /a/, /i/, and /o/ in North Indian classical vocal music. The resonance balance, center frequency, and band-width are shown as a function of fundamental frequency for eight singers.Two new parameters have been defined viz. asymmetry parameter (A) and spectral energy balance (W). Their variation with fundamental frequency is shown.     

Calculating parameters for infiltration equations from soil hydraulic functions

Simple equations for predicting infiltration of water into soil are valuable both for hydrological application and for investigating soil hydraulic properties. Their value is greatly enhanced if they involve parameters that can be related to more basic soil hydraulic properties. In this paper we extend infiltration equations developed previously for positive surface heads to negative heads. The equations are then used to calculate infiltration into a sand and a clay for a range of initial and surface conditions. Results show errors of less than three percent compared with accurate numerical solutions. Analytical approximations to parameters in the equations are developed for a Brooks and Corey power law hydraulic conductivity-water content relation combined with either a Brooks and Corey or a van Genuchten water retention function. These are compared with accurate numerical values for a range of hydraulic parameters encompassing the majority of soil types and a range of initial and boundary conditions. The approximations are excellent for a wide range of soil parameters.An important attribute of the infiltration equations is their use of dimensionless parameters that can be calculated from normalised water retention and hydraulic conductivity functions. These normalised functions involve only parameters that it may be possible to estimate from surrogate data such as soil particle size distribution. Application of the equations for predicting infiltration, or their use in inferring hydraulic properties, then involves only simple scaling parameters.     

Parametric identification of nonlinear systems using multiple trials

It is observed that the harmonic balance (HB) method of parametric identification of nonlinear system may not give right identification results for a single test data. A multiple-trial HB scheme is suggested to obtain improved results in the identification, compared with a single sample test. Several independent tests are conducted by subjecting the system to a range of harmonic excitations. The individual data sets are combined to obtain the matrix for inversion. This leads to the mean square error minimization of the entire set of periodic orbits. It is shown that the combination of independent test data gives correct results even in the case where the individual data sets give wrong results.     

零维物质体和微态物质体

在这篇文章里,R.G Muncaster的零维弹性体被推广到一般的高阶零维物质体。从非极连续介质力学理论出发,我们推出了零维物质体的所有平衡方程和热力学不等式。再从这些方程和不等式推出微态物质体的相应平衡方程和热力学不等式。这样,我们在零维物质体理论和微态物质体理论之间建立了一个类似于刚性质点力学和古典非极连续介质力学之间关系的关系。

The Secondary Bifurcation of an Aeroelastic Airfoil Motion: Effect of High Harmonics

The nonlinear dynamical response of a two-degree-of-freedom aeroelastic airfoil motion with cubic restoring forces is investigated. A secondary bifurcation after the primary Hopf (flutter) bifurcation is detected for a cubic hard spring in the pitch degree-of-freedom. Furthermore, there is a hysteresis in the secondary bifurcation: starting from different initial conditions the motion may jump from one limit cycle to another at different fluid flow velocities. A high-order harmonic balance method is employed to investigate the possible bifurcation branches. Furthermore, a numerical time simulation procedure is used to confirm the stable and unstable bifurcation branches.
