In an earlier paper dealing with the flat-topped light beams [Y. Li, Opt. Lett. 27 (2002) 1007], it is shown that the flat-topped beams can be expressed as 1 − [1 − exp(−ξ2)]M, where ξ is a dimensionless parameter and M is a non-negative number. The binomial expansion of this express contains only lowest-order Gaussian modes; this situation makes it possible to develop a new formulation of diffraction of converging spherical wave at an aperture in a plane opaque screen if the Gaussian mode expansion is employed to describe the boundary values of the screen. 相似文献
In this part of the article a new version analysis of light scattering by “soft” particles is presented that makes it possible to reduce and simplify the process of numerical calculations. The calculation results of the integral scattering cross-sections and indicatrices for spheroid, parallelepiped and cylinder for their arbitrary orientation in space are given as an illustration. The results are accompanied by transparent physical interpretations, based on the examination of the contour graphs of the three-dimensional spectra of particles. 相似文献
We study four measures of problem instance behavior that might account for the observed differences in interior-point method
(IPM) iterations when these methods are used to solve semidefinite programming (SDP) problem instances: (i) an aggregate geometry
measure related to the primal and dual feasible regions (aspect ratios) and norms of the optimal solutions, (ii) the (Renegar-)
condition measure C(d) of the data instance, (iii) a measure of the near-absence of strict complementarity of the optimal solution, and (iv) the
level of degeneracy of the optimal solution. We compute these measures for the SDPLIB suite problem instances and measure
the sample correlation (CORR) between these measures and IPM iteration counts (solved using the software SDPT3) when these
measures have finite values. Our conclusions are roughly as follows: the aggregate geometry measure is highly correlated with
IPM iterations (CORR = 0.901), and provides a very good explanation of IPM iterations, particularly for problem instances
with solutions of small norm and aspect ratio. The condition measure C(d) is also correlated with IPM iterations, but less so than the aggregate geometry measure (CORR = 0.630). The near-absence
of strict complementarity is weakly correlated with IPM iterations (CORR = 0.423). The level of degeneracy of the optimal
solution is essentially uncorrelated with IPM iterations.

A new method for decreasing the attenuation of a shock wave emerging from an open-ended shock tube exit into a large free
space has been developed to improve the shock wave technique for cleaning deposits on the surfaces in industrial equipments
by changing the tube exit geometry. Three tube exits (the simple tube exit, a tube exit with ring and a coaxial tube exit)
were used to study the propagation processes of the shock waves. The detailed flow features were experimentally investigated
by use of a two-dimensional color schlieren method and by pressure measurements. By comparing the results for different tube
exits, it is shown that the expansion of the shock waves near the mouth can be restricted by using the tube exit with ring
or the coaxial tube exit. Thus, the attenuation of the shock waves is reduced. The time histories of overpressure have illustrated
that the best results are obtained for the coaxial tube exit. But the pressure signals for the tube exit with ring showed
comparable results with the advantage of a relatively simple geometry. The flow structures of diffracting shock waves have
also been simulated by using an upwind finite volume scheme based on a high order extension of Godunov's method as well as
an adaptive unstructured triangular mesh refinement/unrefinement algorithm. The numberical results agree remarkably with the
experimental ones. 相似文献
Many problems in linear elastodynamics, or dynamic fracture mechanics, can be reduced to Wiener–Hopf functional equations defined in a strip in a complex transform plane. Apart from a few special cases, the inherent coupling between shear and compressional body motions gives rise to coupled systems of equations, and so the resulting Wiener–Hopf kernels are of matrix form. The key step in the solution of a Wiener–Hopf equation, which is to decompose the kernel into a product of two factors with particular analyticity properties, can be accomplished explicitly for scalar kernels. However, apart from special matrices which yield commutative factorizations, no procedure has yet been devised to factorize exactly general matrix kernels.
This paper shall demonstrate, by way of example, that the Wiener–Hopf approximant matrix (WHAM) procedure for obtaining approximate factors of matrix kernels (recently introduced by the author in [SIAM J. Appl. Math. 57 (2) (1997) 541]) is applicable to the class of matrix kernels found in elasticity, and in particular to problems in QNDE. First, as a motivating example, the kernel arising in the model of diffraction of skew incident elastic waves on a semi-infinite crack in an isotropic elastic space is studied. This was first examined in a seminal work by Achenbach and Gautesen [J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 61 (2) (1977) 413] and here three methods are offered for deriving distinct non-commutative factorizations of the kernel. Second, the WHAM method is employed to factorize the matrix kernel arising in the problem of radiation into an elastic half-space with mixed boundary conditions on its face. Third, brief mention is made of kernel factorization related to the problems of flexural wave diffraction by a crack in a thin (Mindlin) plate, and body wave scattering by an interfacial crack. 相似文献
A distributed fiber optic sensor is developed for condition monitoring of civil infrastructure sys-tems. The fiber optic sensor is especially useful in applications involving structures strengthened by fiberreinforced polymer (FRP) composites. The sensor principles are simple and therefore, practical for detec-tion of cracks, debonding and deformation measurements. Structural monitoring capability of the sensor 相似文献
The aim of this paper is to show the existence of solutions of the n-dimensional diffraction problem for weakly coupled quasilinear elliptic reaction-diffusion system. The coefficients of the equations under consideration are allowed to be discontinuous. We extend the method of upper and lower solutions for reaction-diffusion equations with continuous coefficients to the elliptic diffraction problem. An application of these results is given to the steady-state problem of Lotka-Volterra cooperation model with two cooperating species. 相似文献
The growth of tumors can be modeled as a free boundary problem involving partial differential equations. We consider one such model and compute steady-state solutions for this model. These solutions include radially symmetric solutions where the free boundary is a sphere and nonradially symmetric solutions. Linear and nonlinear stability for these solutions are determined numerically. 相似文献
