Applicability of approximate methods of calculation of the frequency-contrast characteristics of aerosol layers within the wavelength range of 0.4–14 μm

The spectral dependences of the optical characteristics governing radiation transfer in scattering media are analyzed within the wavelength range of 0.4–14 μm for three types of aerosols. The wavelength ranges where approximate methods of calculation of frequency-contrast characteristics are applicable are established; the corresponding limitting masses of aerosol particles in a layer per unit of surface area are determined for which approximate methods provide acceptable accuracy.

Numerical-experimental investigation of resonance characteristics of a sounding board

The paper presents results of numerical and experimental investigations into the vibrations of thin-walled structures, considering such their features as the complexity of geometry, the laminated structure of walls, the anisotropy of materials, the presence of stiffeners, and the initial stresses. The object of the study is the sounding board of an acoustic guitar, the main structural material of which is a three-layer birch veneer. Based on the finite-element method, a corresponding calculation model is created, and the steady-state regimes of forced vibrations of the sounding board are investigated. A good correspondence between calculation results and experimental data is found to exist. __________ Translated from Mekhanika Kompozitnykh Materialov, Vol. 43, No. 3, pp. 399–410, May–June, 2007.

ANALYSIS OF ARBITRARILY TRAPEZOIDAL-GROOVE GUIDE WITH THE CONFORMAL MAPPING METHOD

The arbitrarily open trapezoidal-groove guide is analyzed with the conformal mapping technique. A new formula is given for the evaluation of one fundamental parameter associated with the technique. The relationship between the cut-off wavelength for the dominant mode and the geometry of the guide structure is studied; dispersion characteristic of the groove guide is also given. Some numerical results are shown to be in good agreement with both experimental data and the results of the finite element method (FEM). Moreover, it is testified that dispersion of the trapezoidal-groove guide is low. The obtained results are significant for the design and application of the open trapezoidal-groove guide for millimeter waves.     

Solution of a Differential Game Formulation of Military Air Operations by the Method of Characteristics

In this paper, we describe a zero-sum differential game formulation for the control of military air operations. The model consists of a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations for the dynamics of the operations and a suitably chosen quadratic payoff function. The control variables are the engagement intensities and velocities, and there are constraints on the controls. The method of characteristics (based on the Pontryagin maximum principle) is used to solve the associated Hamilton-Jacobi equation. In this nonlinear formulation, the Hamiltonian can be optimized explicity with respect to the controls. Numerical simulations study the enforcement of constraints (a) by means of penalties in the payoff function or (b) explicitly. The numerical results show robustness with respect to various parameters.Effort sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) and Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Force Material Command, USAF, under Agreement F30602-99-2-0551.

Characteristics method with cubic‐spline interpolation for open channel flow computation

In the framework of the specified‐time‐interval scheme, the accuracy of the characteristic method is greatly related to the form of the interpolation. The linear interpolation was commonly used to couple the characteristics method (LI method) in open channel flow computation. The LI method is easy to implement, but it leads to an inevitable smoothing of the solution. The characteristics method with the Hermite cubic interpolation (HP method, originally developed by Holly and Preissmann, 1977) was then proposed to largely reduce the error induced by the LI method. In this paper, the cubic‐spline interpolation on the space line or on the time line is employed to integrate with characteristics method (CS method) for unsteady flow computation in open channel. Two hypothetical examples, including gradually and rapidly varied flows, are used to examine the applicability of the CS method as compared with the LI method, the HP method, and the analytical solutions. The simulated results show that the CS method is comparable to the HP method and more accurate than the LI method. Without tackling the additional equations for spatial or temporal derivatives, the CS method is easier to implement and more efficient than the HP method.
