An axisymmetric problem of an embedded mixed-mode crack in a functionally graded magnetoelectroelastic infinite medium

This paper investigates the problem of an axisymmetric penny shaped crack embedded in an infinite functionally graded magneto electro elastic medium. The loading consists of magnetoelectromechanical loads applied on the crack surfaces assumed to be magneto electrically impermeable. The material’s gradient is parallel to the axisymmetric direction and is perpendicular to the crack plane. An anisotropic constitutive law is adopted to model the material behavior. The governing equations are converted analytically using Hankel transform into coupled singular integral equations, which are solved numerically to yield the crack tip stress, electric displacement and magnetic induction intensity factors. A similar problem but with a different crack morphology, that is a plane crack embedded in an infinite functionally graded magneto electro elastic medium, was considered by the authors in a previous work (Rekik et al., 2012) [25]. While the overall solution schemes look similar, the axisymmetric problem resulted in more mathematical complexities and let to different conclusions with respect to the influence of coupling between elastic, electric and magnetic effects. The main focus of this paper is to study the effect of material non-homogeneity on the fields’ intensity factors to understand further the behavior of graded magnetoelectroelastic materials containing penny shaped cracks and to inspect the effect of varying the crack geometry.     

Electro-mechanical sliding frictional contact of a piezoelectric half-plane under a rigid conducting punch

This paper investigates the two-dimensional sliding frictional contact of a piezoelectric half-plane in the plane strain state under the action of a rigid flat or a triangular punch. It is assumed that the punch is a perfect electrical conductor with a constant electric potential. By using the Fourier integral transform technique and the superposition theorem, the problem is reduced to a pair of coupled Cauchy singular integral equations and then is numerically solved to determine the unknown contact pressure and surface electric charge distribution. The effects of the friction coefficient and electro-mechanical loads on the normal contact stress, normal electric displacement, in-plane stress and in-plane electric displacement are discussed in detail. It is found that the friction coefficient has a significant effect on the electro-mechanical sliding frictional contact behaviors of the piezoelectric materials.     

Averaging on slow and fast cycles of a three time scale system

Pontryagin–Rodygin?s Theorem for slow and fast systems describes the slow drift during the rolling up of the trajectories around the cycles of the fast dynamics. This drift is approximated by the averaging on the cycles. The calculation of this average is generally a difficult task since it requires the knowledge of the closed orbits and their periods. We present two paradigms of three time scale systems where we can overcome this limitation. It is the case of systems the fast dynamics of which have cycles with relaxation presenting or not a canard phenomenon. We can not apply Pontryagin–Rodygin?s Theorem to these systems because their fast equation is itself singularly perturbed. We also investigate the extension of the results to unbounded time intervals. The results are stated classically and proved within the framework of nonstandard analysis.     

Oscillatory traveling waves of polytropic filtration equation with generalized Fisher–KPP sources

The polytropic filtration equation with generalized Fisher–KPP sources is considered. We will show that the equation may have finite times oscillatory traveling waves, and try to give a complete classification by virtue of a singular exponent in the source according to the finiteness of the oscillatory times of traveling waves.     

Rough singular integrals associated with surfaces of Van der Corput type简

In this paper,the authors establish the Lp-mapping properties for a class of singular integrals along surfaces in Rn of the form {φ(|u|)u : u ∈ Rn} as well as the related maximal operators provided that the function φ satisfies certain oscillatory integral estimates of Van der Corput type,and the integral kernels are given by the radial function h ∈Δγ(R+) for γ 1 and the sphere function Ω∈ Fβ(Sn.1) for some β 0,which is distinct from H1(Sn.1).     

The Boundedness of Composition Operators on Triebel–Lizorkin and Besov Spaces with Different Homogeneities

In this paper, we introduce new Triebel–Lizorkin and Besov Spaces associated with the different homogeneities of two singular integral operators. We then establish the boundedness of composition of two Calder′on–Zygmund singular integral operators with different homogeneities on these Triebel–Lizorkin and Besov spaces.
