A novel class of graded cylinders neutral to host shafts of arbitrary cross-sections under torsion

A novel class of graded cylinders is proposed as neutral inclusions inside host shafts of arbitrary cross-section under Saint-Venant's torsion. The graded cylinder is made of cylindrically orthotropic materials with position varying quantities. The profiles of the two distinct shear moduli in the radial and tangential directions follow specific forms based on an arbitrarily selected function along the radial distance. We show that this type of graded cylinders can serve as universal neutral inclusions within host shafts of arbitrary cross-sections. In addition, we find that the associated warping fields can be exactly determined in terms of simple exponents of the selected function. This suggests that, by tuning the gradation parameter, one can manipulate the warping field of the inserted cylinder without disturbing the fields inside the host shaft. This finding is an original contribution to the existing solvable configurations of composite shafts under torsion.     

TWISTING STATICS AND DYNAMICS FOR CIRCULAR ELASTIC NANOSOLIDS BY NONLOCAL ELASTICITY THEORY

The torsional static and dynamic behaviors of circular nanosolids such as nanoshafts, nanorods and nanotubes are established based on a new nonlocal elastic stress field theory. Based on a new expression for strain energy with a nonlocal nanoscale parameter, new higher-order governing equations and the corresponding boundary conditions are first derived here via the variational principle because the classical equilibrium conditions and/or equations of motion can- not be directly applied to nonlocal nanostructures even if the stress and moment quantities are replaced by the corresponding nonlocal quantities. The static twist and torsional vibration of circular, nonlocal nanosolids are solved and discussed in detail. A comparison of the conventional and new nonlocal models is also presented for a fully fixed nanosolid, where a lower-order governing equation and reduced stiffness are found in the conventional model while the new model reports opposite solutions. Analytical solutions and numerical examples based on the new nonlocal stress theory demonstrate that nonlocal stress enhances stiffness of nanosolids, i.e. the angular displacement decreases with the increasing nonlocal nanoscale while the natural frequency increases with the increasing nonlocal nanoscale.     

挠理论中的相对内射模

For a hereditary torsion theory T,this paper mainly discuss properties of A-τ- injective modules,where A is a fixed left R-module.It is proved that if M is an A-τ-injective, B is a submodule of A,then 1)M is A/B-τ-injective;2)M is B-τ-injective when B isτ- dense in A.Furthermore,we show that if A_1,A_2,…,A_n are relatively injective modules, then A_1⊕A_2⊕…⊕A_n is self-τ-injective if and only if A_i is self-τ-injective for each i.

New Proof of the Cheeger–Müller Theorem

We present a short analytic proof of the equality between the analytic and combinatorialtorsion. We use the same approach as in the proof given by Burghelea, Friedlander andKappeler, but avoid using the difficult Mayer-Vietoris type formula for the determinantsof elliptic operators. Instead, we provide a direct way of analyzing the behaviour of thedeterminant of the Witten deformation of the Laplacian. In particular, we show that thisdeterminant can be written as a sum of two terms, one of which has an asymptoticexpansion with computable coefficients and the other is very simple (no zeta-functionregularization is involved in its definition).     

Theory of submanifolds,associativity equations in 2D topological quantum field theories,and Frobenius manifolds

We prove that the associativity equations of two-dimensional topological quantum field theories are very natural reductions of the fundamental nonlinear equations of the theory of submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean spaces and give a natural class of flat torsionless potential submanifolds. We show that all flat torsionless potential submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean spaces bear natural structures of Frobenius algebras on their tangent spaces. These Frobenius structures are generated by the corresponding flat first fundamental form and the set of the second fundamental forms of the submanifolds (in fact, the structural constants are given by the set of the Weingarten operators of the submanifolds). We prove that each N-dimensional Frobenius manifold can be locally represented as a flat torsionless potential submanifold in a 2N-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space. By our construction, this submanifold is uniquely determined up to motions. Moreover, we consider a nonlinear system that is a natural generalization of the associativity equations, namely, the system describing all flat torsionless submanifolds in pseudo-Euclidean spaces, and prove that this system is integrable by the inverse scattering method.

The Geodesics of Metric Connections with Vectorial Torsion

The present note deals with the dynamics of metric connections with vectorial torsion, as already described by E. Cartan in 1925. We show that the geodesics of metric connections with vectorial torsion defined by gradient vector fields coincide with the Levi-Civita geodesics of a conformally equivalent metric. By pullback, this yields a systematic way of constructing invariants of motion for such connections from isometries of the conformally equivalent metric, and we explain in as much this result generalizes the Mercator projection which maps sphere loxodromes to straight lines in the plane. An example shows that Beltrami's theorem fails for this class of connections. We then study the system of differential equations describing geodesics in the plane for vector fields which are not gradients, and show among others that the Hopf–Rinow theorem does also not hold in general.

Averaging and periodic solutions in the plane and parametrically excited pendulum

We first approximate the solutions of the nonautonomous oscillating suspension point pendulum equation by the solutions of a second order autonomous differential equation. Using the strict monotonicity of the periodic solutions of the approximating equation, we prove the existence of a large number of subharmonic periodic solutions of the plane pendulum when its point of suspension is excited parametrically.
