On the feasibility of variable separation method based on Hamiltonian system for plane magnetoelectroelastic solids

The eigenvalue problem of an infinite-dimensional Hamiltonian operator appearing in the isotropic plane magnetoelectroelastic solids is studied. First, all the eigenvalues and their eigenfunctions in a rectangular domain are solved directly. Then the completeness of the eigenfunction system is proved, which offers a theoretic guarantee of the feasibility of variable separation method based on a Hamiltonian system for isotropic plane magnetoelectroelastic solids. Finally, the general solution for the equation in the rectangular domain is obtained by using the symplectic Fourier expansion method.

The Calculation of Collision Risk on Air-Routes Based on Variable Nominal Separation

In this paper,a new method to calculate collision risk of air-routes,based on variable nominal separation,is proposed. The collision risk model of air-routes,based on the time variable and initial time interval variable,is given. Because the distance and the collision probability vary with time when the nominal relative speed between aircraft is not zero for a fixed initial time interval,the distance,the variable nominal separation,and the collision probability at any time can be expressed as functions of time and initial time interval. By the probabilistic theory,a model for calculating collision risk is acquired based on initial time interval distribution,flow rates,and the proportion of aircraft type. From the results of calculations,the collision risk can be characterized by the model when the nominal separation changes with time. As well the roles of parameters can be shown more readily.

Some discussions about method for solving the variable separating nonlinear models

Through analysing the exact solution of some nonlinear models, the role of the variable separating method in solving nonlinear equations is discussed. We find that rich solution structures of some special fields of these equations come from the nonzero seed solution. However, these nonzero seed solutions is likely to result in the divergent phenomena for the other field component of the same equation. The convergence and the signification of all field components should be discussed when someone solves the nonlinear equation using the variable separating method.

Analytical Solution for Thermal Flutter of Laminates in Supersonic Speeds

As a basic component of engineering fields such as aeronautics, astronautics and shipbuilding, panel structure has been widely used in engineering and scientific research. It is of great theoretical and practical significance to study the vibration of panels. The panel flutter problem has caused widely concerned by researchers at home and abroad during to the emergence of high-speed aircrafts. With regard to the eigenvalue problem of rectangular panels, it is generally believed that it is difficult to obtain a closed form eigen solution in the case of an adjacent boundaries clamped-supported or a free boundary that cannot be decoupled. Aiming at the problem, this paper studies the two-dimensional symmetric orthogonal laminated plate structure in the hypersonic flow in the thermal environment, and combines the first-order piston aerodynamic theory to study a high-precision separation variable method. Through this method, analytical solution to the closed form of the thermal flutter problem of rectangular panels can be obtained under any homogeneous boundary conditions.

Closed form solutions for free vibrations of rectangular Mindlin plates

A new two-eigenfunctions theory, using the amplitude deflection and the generalized curvature as two fundamental eigenfunctions, is proposed for the free vibration solutions of a rectangular Mindlin plate. The three classical eigenvalue differential equations of a Mindlin plate are reformulated to arrive at two new eigenvalue differential equations for the proposed theory. The closed form eigensolutions, which are solved from the two differential equations by means of the method of separation of variables are identical with those via Kirchhoff plate theory for thin plate, and can be employed to predict frequencies for any combinations of simply supported and clamped edge conditions. The free edges can also be dealt with if the other pair of opposite edges are simply supported. Some of the solutions were not available before. The frequency parameters agree closely with the available ones through pb-2 Rayleigh-Ritz method for different aspect ratios and relative thickness of plate.

CHARACTERISTIC EQUATIONS AND CLOSED-FORM SOLUTIONS FOR FREE VIBRATIONS OF RECTANGULAR MINDLIN PLATES

The direct separation of variables is used to obtain the closed-form solutions for the free vibrations of rectangular Mindlin plates. Three different characteristic equations are derived by using three different methods. It is found that the deflection can be expressed by means of the four characteristic roots and the two rotations should be expressed by all the six characteristic roots,which is the particularity of Mindlin plate theory. And the closed-form solutions,which satisfy two of the three governing equations and all boundary conditions and are accurate for rectangular plates with moderate thickness,are derived for any combinations of simply supported and clamped edges. The free edges can also be dealt with if the other pair of opposite edges is simply supported. The present results agree well with results published previously by other methods for different aspect ratios and relative thickness.

Some approximate solutions to the resulting equations can be obtained via the AGCS and the corresponding unperturbed equations.

The radiation and diffraction problem of a two-dimensional rectangular body with an opening floating on a semi- infinite fluid domain of finite water depth is analysed based on the linearized velocity potential theory through an analytical solution procedure. The expressions for potentials are obtained by the method of variation separation, in which the unknown coefficients are determined by the boundary condition and matching requirement on the interface. The effects of the position of the hole and the gap between the body and side wall on hydrodynamic characteristics are investigated. Some resonance is observed like piston motion in a moon pool and sloshing in a closed tank because of the existence of restricted fluid domains.
