The paper presents a summary of the results obtained by C. J. Cohen and E. C. Hubbard, who established by numerical integration that a resonance relation exists between the orbits of Neptune and Pluto. The problem may be explored further by approximating the motion of Pluto by that of a particle with negligible mass in the three-dimensional (circular) restricted problem. The mass of Pluto and the eccentricity of Neptune's orbit are ignored in this approximation. Significant features of the problem appear to be the presence of two critical arguments and the possibility that the orbit may be related to a periodic orbit of the third kind.

In the present work an algorithm for the numerical integration of the three-dimensional unsteady Euler equations in vibrating transonic compressor cascades is described. The equations are discretized in finite-volume formulation in a mobile grid using isoparametric brick elements. They are integrated in time using Runge-Kutta schemes. A thorough discussion of the boundary conditions used and of their influence on results is undertaken. The influence of grid refinement on computational results is examined. Unsteady convergence of results is discussed.

This paper presents a novel application of the boundary element method to solve problems in linear elasticity. The new method is called the Boundary Contour Method. This approach requires no numerical integration at all for two-dimensional problems and numerical evaluation of line integrals only for three-dimensional problems; even for curved line or surface boundary elements of arbitrary shape! Numerical results are presented for some two-dimensional problems.

Abstract The paper follows studies on simulation of three-dimensional mechanical dynamic systems with the help of sparse matrix and stiff integration numerical algorithms. For sensitivity analyses and the application of numerical optimization procedures it is substantial to calculate the effect of design parameters on the system behaviour by means of derivatives of state variables with respect to the design parameters. For static and quasi static analyses the computation of these derivatives from the governing equations leads to a linear equation system. The matrix of this set of linear equations shows to be the Jacobian matrix required in the numerical integration process solving the system of governing equations for the mechanical system. Thus the factorization of the matrix perfomed by the numerical integration algorithm can be reused solving the linear equation system for the state variable sensitivities. Some example demonstrate the simplicity of building the right hand sides of the linear equation system. Also it is demonstrated that the procedure proposed neatly fits into a modular concept for simulation model building and analysis.

The paper presents and illustrates a method which uses numerical integration of the van der Waals envelope(s) to calculate with desired accuracy the molecular van der Waals volume and the three-dimensional molecular shape descriptor defined as the twin-number [OV(α, β); NOV(β, α), where OV and NOV represent the overlapping and, respectively, the nonoverlapping van der Waals volumes of the molecules α and ß superimposed according to appropriate criteria.
