轻型汽车后桥半轴断裂件的组织及断口特征

采用光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜等手段，对某轻型汽车40Cr后桥半轴断裂件的组织及断口特征进行了分析结果表明：半轴在调质处理时的淬火温度不够高，使其表层和心部组织中存在较多的铁素体相，造成了工件最终的硬度和疲劳强度不足，导致半轴在使用中发生扭转疲劳断裂．     

Growth functions for semi-regular tilings of the hyperbolic plane

This paper studies the growth function, with respect to the generating set of edge identifications, of a surface group with fundamental domainD in the hyperbolic plane ann-gon whose angles alternate between /p and /q. The possibilities ofn,p andq for which a torsion-free surface group can have such a fundamental polygon are classified, and the growth functions are computed. Conditions are given for which the denominator of the growth function is a product of cyclotomic polynomials and a Salem polynomial.This work was supported in part by NSF Research Grants.     

On nonnegative solvability of linear operator equations

LetE be a Banach lattice having order continuous norm. Suppose, moreover,T is a nonnegative reducible operator having a compact iterate and which mapsE into itself. The purpose of this work is to extend the previous results of the authors, concerning nonnegative solvability of (kernel) operator equations on generalL ^p-spaces. In particular, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the operator equation x=T x+y to possess a nonnegative solutionxE wherey is a given nonnegative and nontrivial element ofE and is any given positive parameter.     

Incomplete idempotent Schröder quasigroups and related packing designs

Summary In this paper it is proved that, for any positive integern 2, 3 (mod 4),n 7, there exists an incomplete idempotent Schröder quasigroup with one hole of size two IISQ(n, 2) except forn = 10. It is also proved that for any positive integern 0, 1 (mod 4), there exists an idempotent Schröder quasigroup ISQ(n) except forn = 5 and 9. These results completely determine the spectrum of ISQ(n) and provide an application to the packing of a class of edge-coloured block designs.Research supported by NSERC grant A-5320.Research supported by NSFC grant 19231060-2.     

Brownian confinement and pinning in a Poissonian potential. II

Summary We continue our study ofd-dimensional Brownian motion in a soft repulsive Poissonian potential over a long time interval [0,t]. We prove here a pinning effect: for typical configuratons, with probability tending to 1 ast tends to , the particle gets trapped close to locations of near minima of certain variational problems. These locations lie at distances growing almost linearly witht from the origin, and the particle gets pinned within distance smaller than any positive power oft of one such location. In dimension 1, we can push further our estimates and show that in a suitable sense, the particle gets trapped with high probability, within time t and within distance (logt)²⁺ from a suitable location at distance of ordert/(logt)³ from the origin.This article was processed by the author using the LATEX style filepljour1m from Springer-Verlag     

Perturbed unstable variational inequalities with unbounded operators on approximately given sets

The stability and convergence of the solutions of perturbed and regularized variational inequality to the solutions of the primary (unstable a priori) variational inequality with proper monotone operator are investigated. All the objects of inequality: the operatorA, the right-hand partf and the set of constrains are to be perturbed. At the same time no assumptions of boundedness and smoothness of the operatorA are used. The connection between the parameters of perturbations, which guarantees strong convergence of approximate solutions, is established. It is proved that the existence of the solution to the unperturbed variational inequality is necessary and sufficient condition for convergence of the regularized perturbed inequality solutions.This research was supported in part by the Ministry of Science Grant 3481-1-91 and by the Ministry of Absorption Center for Absorption in Science.     

On the support of midconvex operators

Summary LetX be a real vector space,D a convex subset ofX and (Y, K) an order complete ordered vector space. The following sandwich theorem holds: Iff: D Y is midconvex,g: D Y {– } is midconcave andg f onD, then there exists a Jensen mappingh: D Y {– } such thatg h f onD. Using this theorem we show that a mappingf: D Y is midconvex if and only if it has Jensen support at every point ofD. Moreover, ifX is a Baire topological vector space and (Y, K) is an ordered topological vector space satisfying some additional conditions, then a mappingf: D Y is continuous whenever it has continuous Jensen support at every point ofD. As an application of these results we obtain the equality of some set-classes connected with additive and midconvex operators.Dedicated to the memory of Alexander M.

On error estimates of some higher order projection and penalty-projection methods for Navier-Stokes equations

Summary This paper is a continuation of our previous work [10] on projection methods. We study first existing higher order projection schemes in the semidiscretized form for the Navier-Stokes equations. One error analysis suggests that the precision of these schemes is most likely plagued by the inconsistent Neumann boundary condition satisfied by the pressure approximations. We then propose a penalty-projection scheme for which we obtain improved error estimates.This work is partially supported by NSF grant MS-8802596.     

Some properties of the riesz charge associated with a δ-subharmonic function

The first property is a refinement of earlier results of Ch. de la Vallée Poussin, M. Brelot, and A. F. Grishin. Let w=u–v with u, v superharmonic on a suitable harmonic space (for example an open subset of R ⁿ ), and let [w]=[u]–[v] denote the associated Riesz charge. If w0, and if E denotes the set of those points of at which the lim inf of w in thefine topology is 0, then the restriction of [w] to E is 0. Another property states that, if e denotes a polar subset of such that the fine lim inf of |w| at each point of e is finite, then the restriction of [w] to e is 0.
