CONSERVATION LAW AND APPLICATION OF J-INTEGRAL IN MULTI-MATERIALS

The conservation law of J-integral in two-media with a crack paralleling to the interface of the two media was firstly proved by analytical and numerical finite element method. Then a schedule model was established that an interface crack is inserted in four media. According to the J-integral conservation law on multi-media, the energy release ratio of Ⅰ-type crack was considered to be conservation when the middle medium layers are very thin. And the conservation law was also convinced by numerical method. By means of the dimension analysis on the model, the asymptotic results and formula calculating the energy release ratio and complex stress intensity factor are presented.

Spatio-temporal Changes in Water Conservation Ecosystem Service During 1990–2019 in the Tumen River Basin, Northeast China

The water conservation(WC) function of ecosystems is related to regional ecological security and the sustainable development of water resources, and the assessment of WC and its influencing factors is crucial for ecological and water resource management.The Tumen River Basin(TRB) is located in the core of the Northeast Asian ecological network and has been experiencing severe ecological crises and water shortages in recent years due to climate change and human activities. However, these crises have not been fully revealed to the extent that corresponding scientific measures are lacking. This study analyzed the spatial and temporal evolution characteristics and drivers of WC in the TRB from 1990 to 2019 based on the water yield module of the Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs(InVEST) model. The results showed that: 1) under the combined effect of nature and socioeconomics, the WC depth of the TRB has slowly increased at a rate of 0.11 mm/yr in the past 30 years, with an average WC depth of 36.14 mm. 2) The main driving factor of the spatial variation in WC is precipitation, there is a significant interaction between precipitation and velocity, the interaction between each factor is higher than the contribution of a single factor, and the interactions between factors all have nonlinear enhancement and two-factor enhancement. 3) Among the seven counties and municipalities in the study area, the southern part of Helong City and the southeastern part of Longjing City are extremely important areas for WC(> 75 mm), and they should be regarded as regional water resources and ecological priority protection areas. It is foreseen that under extreme climate conditions in the future, the WC of the watershed is under great potential threat, and protection measures such as afforestation and forestation should begin immediately. Furthermore, the great interannual fluctuations in WC depth may place more stringent requirements on the choice of time scales in the ecosystem service assessment process.

CONSERVATION LAWS IN FINITE MICROCRACKING BRITTLE SOLIDS

This paper addresses the conservation laws in finite brittle solids with microcracks. The discussion is limited to the 2-D cases. First, after considering the combination of the Pseudo-Traction Method and the indirect Boundary Element Method, a versatile method for solving multi-crack interacting problems in finite plane solids is proposed, by which the fracture parameters （SIF and path-independent integrals） can be calculated with a desirable accuracy. Second, with the aid of the method proposed, the roles the conservation laws play in the fracture analysis for finite microcracking solids are studied. It is concluded that the conservation laws do play important roles in not only the fracture analysis but also the analysis of damage and stability for the finite microcracking system. Finally, the physical interpretation of the M-integral is discussed further. An explicit relation between the M-integral and the crack face area, i.e., M = GS, has been discovered using the analytical method, which can shed some light on the Damage Mechanics issues from a different perspective.

New Positive and Negative Hierarchies of Integrable Differential-Difference Equations and Conservation Laws

Two hierarchies of nonlinear integrable positive and negative lattice equations are derived from a discrete spectrak problem. The two lattice hierarchies are proved to have discrete zero curvature representations associated with a discrete spectral problem, which also shows that the positive and negative hierarchies correspond to positive and negative power expansions of Lax operators with respect to the spectral parameter, respectively. Moreover, the integrable lattice models in the positive hierarchy are of polynomial type, and the integrable lattice models in the negative hierarchy are of rational type. Further, we construct infinite conservation laws about the positive hierarchy.

Connection between the Principles of Thermodynamics and the Conservation Laws: Physical Meaning of the Principles of Thermodynamics

It has been shown that the first principle of thermodynamics follows from the conservation laws for energy and linear momentum. And the second principle of thermodynamics follows from the first principle of thermodynamics under realization of the integrating factor (namely, temperature) and is a conservation law. The significance of the first principle of thermodynamics consists in the fact that it specifies the thermodynamic system state, which depends on interaction between conservation laws and is non-equilibrium due to a non-commutativity of conservation laws. The realization of the second principle of thermodynamics points to a transition of the thermodynamic system state into a locally-equilibrium state. Phase transitions are examples of such transitions.

Two integrable generalizations of WKI and FL equations: Positive and negative flows, and conservation laws

With the aid of Lenard recursion equations, an integrable hierarchy of nonlinear evolution equations associated with a 2 × 2 matrix spectral problem is proposed, in which the first nontrivial member in the positive flows can be reduced to a new generalization of the Wadati–Konno–Ichikawa(WKI) equation. Further, a new generalization of the Fokas–Lenells(FL) equation is derived from the negative flows. Resorting to these two Lax pairs and Riccati-type equations, the infinite conservation laws of these two corresponding equations are obtained.

NEW DESCRIPTION OF MICROCRACK DAMAGE BASED ON CONSERVATION LAWS

This paper presents a new description for brittle solids with micro- cracks under plane strain assumption.The basic idea is to extend the conservation laws such as the J_j-vector and M-integral analysis used in single crack problems to strongly interacting crack problems.The M-integral contains two distinct parts.One of them is a summation from the well-known relation between the M-integral and the stress intensity factors(SIF)at both tips of each crack.The other,called as the additional contribution,is obtained from the two components of the J_j-vector and the coordinates of each microcrack center in a global system.Of great significance is the clarification of the confusion about the dependence of the M-integral on the origin selection of global coordinates,provided that the vector vanishes at infinity and that the closed contour chosen to calculate the integral and the vector encloses all the microcracks completely.The M-integral is equivalent to the decrease of the total potential energy of the microcracking solids with the strong interaction being taken into account.The M-integral analysis,from a physical point of view,does play an important role in evaluating the damage level of brittle solids with strongly interacting microcracks.
