The analytical review of the papers devoted to the deterministic mechanism of irreversibility (DMI) is presented. The history of solving of the irreversibility problem is briefly described. It is shown, how the DMI was found basing on the motion equation for a structured body. The structured body was given by a set of potentially interacting material points. The taking into account of the body’s structure led to the possibility of describing dissipative processes. This possibility caused by the transformation of the body’s motion energy into internal energy. It is shown, that the condition of holonomic constraints, which used for obtaining of the canonical formalisms of classical mechanics, is excluding the DMI in Hamiltonian systems. The concepts of D-entropy and evolutionary non-linearity are discussed. The connection between thermodynamics and the laws of classical mechanics is shown. Extended forms of the Lagrange, Hamilton, Liouville, and Schrödinger equations, which describe dissipative processes, are presented.

Parabolic partial differential equations used in chemical engineering for the description of mass transport and heat transfer and analogous relationship derived in stochastic processes theory are given. A standard transformation procedure is applied, allowing these relations to be generally written in curvilinear coordinates and particular expressions for cylindrical and spherical coordinates to be derived. The relation between the probability density for the position of a discernible particle and the concentration of a set of such particles is discussed.

In this article, a simple expression for the center of mass of a system of material points in a two-dimensional surface of Gaussian constant negative curvature is given. By using the basic techniques of geometry, we obtained an expression in intrinsic coordinates, and we showed how this extends the definition for the Euclidean case. The argument is constructive and serves to define the center of mass of a system of particles on the one-dimensional hyperbolic sphere LR1.

The properties of “triply orthogonal” systems of surfaces have been examined by various writers and in considerable detail; but those of triple systems generally have not hitherto received the same attention. It is the purpose of this paper to discuss non-orthogonal systems, and to investigate formulæ in terms of the “oblique” curvilinear coordinates u, v, w which such a system determines.

A consistent higher-order shear deformation nonlinear theory is developed for shells of generic shape; taking geometric imperfections into account. The geometrically nonlinear strain-displacement relationships are derived retaining full nonlinear terms in the in-plane displacements; they are presented in curvilinear coordinates in a formulation ready to be implemented. Then, large-amplitude forced vibrations of a simply supported, laminated circular cylindrical shell are studied (i) by using the developed theory, and (ii) keeping only nonlinear terms of the von Ka´rma´n type. Results show that inaccurate results are obtained by keeping only nonlinear terms of the von Ka´rma´n type for vibration amplitudes of about two times the shell thickness for the studied case.

A numerical method is developed for solving the 3D, unsteady, incompressible flows with immersed moving solids of arbitrary geometrical complexity. A co-located (non-staggered) finite volume method is employed to solve the Navier-Stokes governing equations for flow region using arbitrary convex polyhedral meshes. The solid region is represented by a set of material points with known position and velocity. Faces in the flow region located in the immediate vicinity of the solid body are marked as immersed boundary (IB) faces. At every instant in time, the influence of the body on the flow is accounted for by reconstructing implicitly the velocity the IB faces from a stencil of fluid cells and solid material points. Specific numerical issues related to the non-staggered formulation are addressed, including the specification of face mass fluxes, and corrections to the continuity equation to ensure overall mass balance. Incorporation of this immersed boundary technique within the framework of the SIMPLE algorithm is described. Canonical test cases of laminar flow around stationary and moving spheres and cylinders are used to verify the implementation. Mesh convergence tests are carried out. The simulation results are shown to agree well with experiments for the case of micro-cantilevers vibrating in a viscous fluid.

Modeling of strains and stresses of material nanostructuresStress and deformation analysis of materials and devices at the nanoscale level are topics of intense research in materials science and mechanics. In these investigations two approaches are observed. First, natural for the atomistic scale description is based on quantum and molecular mechanics. Second, characteristic for the macroscale continuum model description, is modified by constitutive laws taking atomic interactions into account. In the present paper both approaches are presented. For a discrete system of material points (atoms, molecules, clusters), measures of strain and stress, important from the mechanical viewpoint, are given. Numerical examples of crack propagation and deformation of graphite sheets (graphens) illustrate the behavior of the discrete systems.
