Estimation of Winds at Different Isobaric Levels Based on the Observed Winds at 850 hPa Level Using Double Fourier Series

A technique based on the double Fourier series is developed to estimate the winds at different isobaric levels forthe limited area domain, 35°E to 140°E and 30°S to 40°N, using the observed winds at 850 hPa lcvcl for the month ofJune. For this purpose the wind field at a level under consideration is taken in the ratio form with that of 850 hPa level and the coefficients of the double Fouricr series are computed. These coefficients are subsequently used to computethe winds which are compared with the actual winds. The results of the double Fourier series technique are comparedwith those of the polynomial surface fitting method developed by Bavadekar and Khaladkar (1 992). The technique isalso applied for the daily wind data of 11. June, 1979 and the validation of the technique is tested for a few radiosondestations of india. The computed winds for these radiosonde stations arc quite close to observed winds.

ON DOUBLE SINE AND COSINE TRANSFORMS,LIPSCHITZ AND ZYGMUND CLASSES

We consider complex-valued functions f ∈ L^1 （R^2＋）, where R＋ ：= [0,∞）, and prove sufficient conditions under which the double sine Fourier transform fss and the double cosine Fourier transform fcc belong to one of the two-dimensional Lipschitz classes Lip（a,β） for some 0 〈 α,β ≤ 1; or to one of the Zygmund classes Zyg（α,β） for some 0 〈 α,β ≤ 2. These sufficient conditions are best possible in the sense that they are also necessary for nonnegative-valued functions f ∈ L^1 （R^2＋）.

3-D DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF TRANSVERSELY ISOTROPIC SATURATED SOILS

A study on dynamic response of transversely isotropic saturated poroelastic media under a circular non-axisymmetrical harmonic source has been presented by Huang Yi et al. using the technique of Fourier expansion and Hankel transform. However, the method may not always be valid. The work is extended to the general case being in the rectangular coordinate. The purpose is to study the 3-d dynamic response of transversely isotropic saturated soils under a general source distributing in arbitrary rectangular zoon on the medium surface. Based on Biot＇s theory for fluid- saturated porous media, the 3-d wave motion equations in rectangular coordinate for transversely isotropic saturated poroelastic media were transformed into the two uncoupling governing differential equations of 6-order and 2-order respectively by means of the displacement functions. Then, using the technique of double Fourier transform, the governing differential equations were easily solved. Integral solutions of soil skeleton displacements and pore pressure as well as the total stresses for poroelastic media were obtained. Furthermore, a systematic study on half-space problem in saturated soils was performed. Integral solutions for surface displacements under the general harmonic source distributing on arbitrary surface zone, considering both case of drained surface and undrained surface, were presented.

The Influence of Edge Restraining Stiffness on the Transverse Vibrations of Rectangular Plate Structures

This paper presents an analytical study on the influence of edge restraining stiffness on the transverse vibrations of rectangular plate structure. An improved Fourier series method was employed to analyze the transverse vibration of plate structure with general elastically restrained boundary conditions. A linear combination of a double Fourier series and eight auxiliary terms was sought as the admissible function of the flexural displacement of the plate, each term being a combination of a polynomial function and a single cosine series expansion. The auxiliary terms were introduced to ensure and improve the smoothness of the original displacement function and its derivatives at the boundaries. Several numerical examples were given to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of the current solution. The influences of translational and rotational stiffness on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of plate were analyzed by numerical results. The results show that the translational stiffness has bigger influence on the natural frequencies than the rotational stiffness. It is generally well known that little change of the rotational stiffness has little influence on the mode shapes of plate. However, the current work shows that a very little change of rotational stiffness value may lead to a large change of the mode shapes of a square plate structure.

3D Dynamic Response of Layered Unsaturated Soils to Harmonic Loads

Considering compression of solid grain and pore fluids,viscous-coupling interactions and inertial force of fluids,dynamic governing equations for unsaturated soils are established by adopting an exact constitutive formula of saturation.These equations are highly versatile and completely compatible with Biot's wave equations for the special case of fully saturated soils.The governing equations in Cartesian coordinates are firstly transformed into a group of state differential equations by introducing the state vector.Then the transfer matrix for layered media are derived by means of a double Fourier transform.Using the transfer matrix followed by boundary and continuity conditions between strata,solutions of steady-state dynamic response for multi-layered unsaturated soils are obtained.Numerical examples show that the echoes generated by boundary and stratum interfaces make the displacement amplitude of the ground surface fluctuate with distance;the relative position of soft and hard strata has a significant influence on displacement.

State space solution to 3D multilayered elastic soils based on order reduction method

Starting with the governing equations in terms of displacements of 3D elastic media, the solutions to displacement components and their first derivatives are obtained by the application of a double Fourier transform and an order reduction method based on the Cayley-Hamilton theorem. Combining the solutions and the constitutive equations which connect the displacements and stresses, the transfer matrix of a single soil layer is acquired. Then, the state space solution to multilayered elastic soils is further obtained by introducing the boundary conditions and continuity conditions between adjacent soil layers. The numerical analysis based on the present theory is carried out, and the vertical displacements of multilayered foundation with a weak and a hard underlying stratums are compared and discussed.

Singular Integrals with Bilinear Phases

We prove the boundedness from Lp（T2） to itself, 1 〈 p 〈∞, of highly oscillatory singular integrals Sf（x, y） presenting singularities of the kind of the double Hilbert transform on a non-rectangular domain of integration, roughly speaking, defined by ｜y′｜ 〉 ｜x′｜, and presenting phases λ（Ax ＋ By） with 0≤ A, B ≤ 1 and λ≥ 0. The norms of these oscillatory singular integrals are proved to be independent of all parameters A1 B and A involved. Our method extends to a more general family of phases. These results are relevant to problems of almost everywhere convergence of double Fourier and Walsh series.
