The Regularity of Solutions to Mixed Boundary Value Problems of Second-Order Elliptic Equations with Small Angles

This paper considers the regularity of solutions to mixed boundary value problems in small-angle regions for elliptic equations. By constructing a specific barrier function, we proved that under the assumption of sufficient regularity of boundary conditions and coefficients, as long as the angle is sufficiently small, the regularity of the solution to the mixed boundary value problem of the second-order elliptic equation can reach any order.

On the symplectic superposition method for free vibration of rectangular thin plates with mixed boundary constraints on an edge

A novel symplectic superposition method has been proposed and developed for plate and shell problems in recent years.The method has yielded many new analytic solutions due to its rigorousness.In this study,the first endeavor is made to further developed the symplectic superposition method for the free vibration of rectangular thin plates with mixed boundary constraints on an edge.The Hamiltonian system-based governing equation is first introduced such that the mathematical techniques in the symplectic space are applied.The solution procedure incorporates separation of variables,symplectic eigen solution and superposition.The analytic solution of an original problem is finally obtained by a set of equations via the equivalence to the superposition of some elaborated subproblems.The natural frequency and mode shape results for representative plates with both clamped and simply supported boundary constraints imposed on the same edge are reported for benchmark use.The present method can be extended to more challenging problems that cannot be solved by conventional analytic methods.

A MIXED ELECTRIC BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR AN ANTI-PLANE PIEZOELECTRIC CRACK

The analytical continuation method is adopted to solve a mixed electric boundary value problem for a piezoelectric medium under anti-plane deformation.The crack face is partly conductive and partly impermeable.The results show that the stress intensity factor is identical with the mode Ⅲ stress intensity factor independent of the conducting length.But the electric field and the electric displacement are dependent on the electric boundary conditions on the crack faces and are singular not only at the crack tips but also at the junctures between the impermeable part and conducting portions.

Convective heat and mass transfer in MHD mixed convection flow of Jeffrey nanofluid over a radially stretching surface with thermal radiation

Mixed convection flow of magnetohydrodynamic(MHD) Jeffrey nanofluid over a radially stretching surface with radiative surface is studied. Radial sheet is considered to be convectively heated. Convective boundary conditions through heat and mass are employed. The governing boundary layer equations are transformed into ordinary differential equations. Convergent series solutions of the resulting problems are derived. Emphasis has been focused on studying the effects of mixed convection, thermal radiation, magnetic field and nanoparticles on the velocity, temperature and concentration fields. Numerical values of the physical parameters involved in the problem are computed for the local Nusselt and Sherwood numbers are computed.

Static response of functionally graded multilayered two-dimensional quasicrystal plates with mixed boundary conditions

The unusual properties of quasicrystals(QCs)have attracted tremendous attention from researchers.In this paper,a semi-analytical solution is presented for the static response of a functionally graded(FG)multilayered two-dimensional(2 D)decagonal QC rectangular plate with mixed boundary conditions.Based on the elastic theory of FG 2 D QCs,the state-space method is used to derive the state equations composed of partial differential along the thickness direction.Besides,the Fourier series expansion and the differential quadrature technique are utilized to simulate the simply supported boundary conditions and the mixed boundary conditions,respectively.Then,the propagator matrix which connects the field variables at the upper interface to those at the lower interface of any homogeneous layer can be derived based on the state equations.Combined with the interface continuity condition,the static response can be obtained by imposing the sinusoidal load on the top surfaces of laminates.Finally,the numerical examples are presented to verify the effectiveness of this method,and the results are very useful for the design and understanding of the characterization of FG QC materials in their applications to multilayered systems.

THE LINEAR SAMPLING METHOD FOR RECONSTRUCTING A PENETRABLE CAVITY WITH UNKNOWN EXTERNAL OBSTACLES

We consider the interior inverse scattering problem for recovering the shape of a penetrable partially coated cavity with external obstacles from the knowledge of measured scattered waves due to point sources.In the first part,we obtain the well-posedness of the direct scattering problem by the variational method.In the second part,we establish the mathematical basis of the linear sampling method to recover both the shape of the cavity,and the shape of the external obstacle,however the exterior transmission eigenvalue problem also plays a key role in the discussion of this paper.

Dynamic response analysis of a multiple-beam structure subjected to a moving load

In this study,the dynamic response of an elastically connected multi-beam structure subjected to a moving load with elastic boundary conditions is investigated.The boundary conditions and properties of each beam vary,and the difficulty of solving the motion equation is reduced by using a Fourier series plus three special transformations.By examining a high-speed railway(HSR)with mixed boundary conditions,the rationality for the newly proposed method is verified,the difference in simulated multiple-beam models with different beam numbers is explored,and the influence of material parameters and load speed on the dynamic response of multiple-beam structures is examined.Results suggest that the number of beams in the model should be as close to the actual beam number as possible.Models with an appropriate beam number can be used to describe in detail the dynamic response of the structure.Neglecting the track-structure can overestimate the resonant speed of a high-speed railway,simply-supported beam bridge.The effective interval of foundation stiffness(EIFS)can provide a reference for future engineering designs.

Guest Review:Potential theory method for 3D crack and contact problems of multi-field coupled media: A survey

This paper presents an overview of the recent progress of potential theory method in the analysis of mixed boundary value problems mainly stemming from three-dimensional crack or contact problems of multi-field coupled media. This method was used to derive a series of exact three dimensional solutions which should be of great theoretical significance because most of them usually cannot be derived by other methods such as the transform method and the trial-and-error method. Further, many solutions are obtained in terms of elementary functions that enable us to treat more complicated problems easily. It is pointed out here that the method is usually only applicable to media characterizing transverse isotropy, from which, however, the results for the isotropic case can be readily obtained.

A Remark on Global Existence in H^4 for a Nonlinear Thermoviscoelasticity Equations with Non-monotone Pressure

We consider a one-dimensional continuous model of nutron star, described by a compressible thermoviscoelastic system with a non-monotone equation of state, due to the effective Skyrme nuclear interaction between particles. We will prove that, despite a possible destabilizing influence of the pressure, which is non-monotone and not always positive, the presence of viscosity and a sufficient thermal dissipation describe the global existence of solutions in H^4 with a mixed free boundary problem for our model.

GENERALIZED STROH FORMALISM FOR ANISOTROPIC ELASTICITY FOR GENERAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

The Stroh formalism is most elegant when the boundary conditions are simple, namely,they are prescribed in terms of traction or displacement.For mixed boundary conditions such as there for a slippery boundary,the concise matrix expressions of the Stroh formalism are destroyed.We present a generalized Stroh formalism which is applicable to a class of general boundary conditions.The general boundary conditions in- clude the simple and slippery boundary conditions as special cases.For Green's functions for the half space, the general solution is applicable to the case when the surface of the half-space is a fixed,a free,a slippery, or other more general boundary.For the Griffith crack in the infinite space,the crack can be a slit-like crack with free surfaces,a rigid line inclusion(which is sometimes called an anticrack),or a rigid line with slippery surface or with other general surface conditions.It is worth mention that the modifications required on the Stroh formalism are minor.The generalized formalism and the final solutions look very similar to those of unmodified version.Yet the results are applicable to a rather wide range of boundary conditions.
