Waterhammer modelling of viscoelastic pipes with a time-dependent Poisson's ratio

Poisson's ratio in viscoelastic materials is a function of time. However, recently developed waterhammer models of viscoelastic pipes consider it constant. This simplifying assumption avoids cumbersome calculations of double convolution integrals which appear if Poisson's ratio is time-dependent. The present research develops a mathematical model taking the time dependency of Poisson's ratio into account for linear viscoelastic pipes. Poisson's ratio is written in terms of relaxation function and bulk modulus which is assumed to be constant. The relaxation function is obtained from creep function given as the viscoelastic property data of pipe material. The results obtained from the present waterhammer model are compared with the experimental data for two different flow rates. The comparison reveals that with the application of the time-dependent Poisson's ratio and unsteady friction, the viscoelastic data of mechanical tests can directly be used for waterhammer analysis with less need for the calibration of the flow configuration. It was also shown that the creep curve calibrated based on the present model is closer to the actual creep curve than that calibrated based on previous models.     

Nonsmooth analysis of vector-valued mappings with contributions to nondifferentiable programming

We define order Lipschitz mappings from a Banach space to an order complete vector lattice and present a nonsmooth analysis for such functions. In particular, we establish properties of a generalized directional derivative and gradient and derive results concerning a calculus of generalized gradients (i.e., calculation of the generalized gradient of f when f = f₁ + f₂, f = f · ₂, etc.). We show the relevance of the above analysis to nondifferentiaile programming by deriving optimality conditions for problems of the form min f(x) subject to x [euro] S. For S arbitrary we state the results in terms of cones of displacement of the feasible region at the optimal point; when S ={x ? A|g(x) ? B}, we obtain Kuhn-Tucker type results.     

LOCALLY STABILIZED FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR STOKES PROBLEM WITH NONLINEAR SLIP BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

Based on the low-order conforming finite element subspace （Vh, Mh） such as the P1-P0 triangle element or the Q1-P0 quadrilateral element, the locally stabilized finite element method for the Stokes problem with nonlinear slip boundary conditions is investigated in this paper. For this class of nonlinear slip boundary conditions including the subdifferential property, the weak variational formulation associated with the Stokes problem is an variational inequality. Since （Vh, Mh） does not satisfy the discrete inf-sup conditions, a macroelement condition is introduced for constructing the locally stabilized formulation such that the stability of （Vh, Mh） is established. Under these conditions, we obtain the H1 and L2 error estimates for the numerical solutions.     

Beam focusing through a tapered subwavelength aperture surrounded by dielectric surface gratings

A novel plasmonic nanolens formed by a tapered subwavelength metal slit surrounded by surface dielectric gratings is proposed and demonstrated numerically. By patterning surface corrugations on the output surface, the beam can be focused, by regulating the aperture, the focal length can be controlled effectively. Numerical simulations using Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method coupled with anisotropic perfectly matched layer (APML) boundary conditions verify that the proposed metallic lens can focus the radiation on the scale of a wavelength below the substrate and the method is effective for the design of nano-optical devices such as optical microprobes.
