High-order accurate monotone compact running scheme for multidimensional hyperbolic equations

Monotone absolutely stable conservative difference schemes intended for solving quasilinear multidimensional hyperbolic equations are described. For sufficiently smooth solutions, the schemes are fourth-order accurate in each spatial direction and can be used in a wide range of local Courant numbers. The order of accuracy in time varies from the third for the smooth parts of the solution to the first near discontinuities. This is achieved by choosing special weighting coefficients that depend locally on the solution. The presented schemes are numerically efficient thanks to the simple two-diagonal (or block two-diagonal) structure of the matrix to be inverted. First the schemes are applied to system of nonlinear multidimensional conservation laws. The choice of optimal weighting coefficients for the schemes of variable order of accuracy in time and flux splitting is discussed in detail. The capabilities of the schemes are demonstrated by computing well-known two-dimensional Riemann problems for gasdynamic equations with a complex shock wave structure.     

An adaptive mesh method for 1D hyperbolic conservation laws

An adaptive method is developed for solving one-dimensional systems of hyperbolic conservation laws, which combines the rezoning approach with the finite volume weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) scheme. An a posteriori error estimate, used to equidistribute the mesh, is obtained from the differences between respective numerical solutions of 5th-order WENO (WENO5) and 3rd-order ENO (ENO3) schemes. The number of grids can be adaptively readjusted based on the solution structure. For higher efficiency, mesh readjustment is performed every few time steps rather than every time step. In addition, a high order conservative interpolation is used to compute the physical solutions on the new mesh from old mesh based on the finite volume ENO reconstruction. Extensive examples suggest that this adaptive method exhibits more accurate resolution of discontinuities for a similar level of computational time comparing with that on a uniform mesh.     

Vectorial approach of determining the wave propagation at metasurfaces

Vector approach often benefits optical engineers and physicists, and a vector formulation of the laws of reflection and refraction has been studied (Tkaczyk, 2012). However, the conventional reflection and refraction laws may be violated in the presence of a metasurface, and reflection and refraction at the metasurface obey generalized laws of reflection and refraction (Yu et al., 2011). In this letter, the vectorial laws of reflection and refraction at the metasurface were derived, and the matrix formulation of these vectorial laws are also obtained. These results enable highly efficient and unambiguous computations in ray-tracing problems that involve a metasurface.     

Integrability of S-deformable surfaces: Conservation laws,Hamiltonian structures and more

We present infinitely many nonlocal conservation laws, a pair of compatible local Hamiltonian structures and a recursion operator for the equations describing surfaces in three-dimensional space that admit nontrivial deformations which preserve both principal directions and principal curvatures (or, equivalently, the shape operator).     

Nonlinear analysis of beam–column joints using softened truss model

The aim of this study is to expand the application of the nonlinear softened truss model for membrane elements on beam–column joints. The softened truss model employs three equations for equilibrium, three for compatibility and four equations for the constitutive laws of materials. The constitutive equations for both the concrete and steel are based on the actually observed stress–strain relationships. The model has three important attributes. The first is the nonlinear association of stress and strain. The second, and conceivably more noteworthy, is the softening of concrete in compression due to tensile strains in the perpendicular direction. The third is that the influence of the concrete tensile stresses between cracks on the average stress–strain relationship for reinforcing steel and the influence of orthogonal tensile stresses on the compression stress–strain relationship for concrete can be considered in the model. For beam–column joints, one of the most important factors influencing the behaviour is certainly the bond conditions of the beam bars. In this study, the softened truss model is expanded to take into account the influence of this important factor into account. In the revised version of the model, full strain compatibility does not exist between the steel reinforcement and the surrounding concrete and thus the factors influencing the bond-slip between concrete and reinforcement is adequately considered. The improved softened truss model is applied on 51 exterior beam–column joint tests. It is apparent from the results that the revised model gives very accurate predictions of the shear strength of joints and is an improvement on the existing version of the model proposed by Hsu.     

Some types of kinetic equations reducible to partial differential equations

The possibility of passing from the kinetic equation to a partial differential equations is rigorously mathematically proved for the case of nearly elastic scattering processes. Some examples are considered. __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika i Tekhnicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 48, No. 5, pp. 12–16, September–October, 2007.     

Balanced Powers in Continuum Mechanics

An approach to weak balance laws in Continuum Mechanics is presented, involving densities with only divergence measure, which relies on the balance of power. An equivalence theorem between Cauchy powers and Cauchy fluxes is proved. As an application of this method, the construction of the stress tensor when the body is an orientable differential manifold is achieved under very general assumptions.
