Existing constitutive relations and governing equations have been used to solve for fully developed chute flows of granular materials. In particular, the results of Lun et al. (1984) have been employed and the boundary value problem has been formulated with two parameters (the coefficient of restitution between particles, and the chute inclination), and three boundary values at the chute base wall, namely the values of solid fraction, granular temperature, and mean velocity at the wall. The boundary value problem has been numerically solved by the “shooting method.” The results show the significant role played by granular conduction in determining the profiles of granular temperature, solid fraction, and mean velocity in chute flows. These analytical results are also compared with experimental measurements of velocity fluctuation, solid fraction, and mean velocity made by Ahn et al. (1989), and with the computer simulations by Campbell and Brennen (1985b).

SynopsisThis paper is concerned with the existence of solutions of a two point boundary value problem for neutral functional differential equations. We consider the problemwhere M and N are n × n matrices. This is examined by using the “shooting method”. Also, an example is given to illustrate how our result can be applied to yield the existence of solutions of a periodic boundary value problem.

We investigate the existence and the number of solutions for a third order boundary value problem with nonlocal boundary conditions in connection with the oscillatory behavior of solutions. The combination of the shooting method and scaling method is used in the proofs of our main results. Examples are included to illustrate the results.

SynopsisBoundary value problems associated with y″ = f(x, y, y′) for 0 ≦ x ≦ 1 are considered. Using techniques based on the shooting method, conditions are given on f(x, y,y′) which guarantee the existence on [0, 1] of solutions of some initial value problems. Working within the class of such solutions, conditions are then given on nonlinear boundary conditions of the form g(y(0), y′(0)) = 0, h(y(0), y′(0), y(1), y′(1)) = 0 which guarantee the existence of a unique solution of the resulting boundary value problem.

AbstractThis paper deals with the complete constitutive relations of elastoplastic deformation process theory, based on llyushin's postulate of isotropy and hypotheses of local determinancy and complanarity in plastic stage with complex loading. The formulation of the boundary value problem is given and existence and uniqueness theorems are considered.

The author considers an impulsive boundary value problem involving the one-dimensionalp-Laplacian-(φp (u′))′=λωtft,u,  0<t<1,  t≠tk,  Δu|t=tk=μIktk,  utk,  Δu′|t=tk=0,  k=1,2,…,n,  au(0)-bu′(0)=∫01‍g(t)u(t)dt,u′(1)=0, whereλ>0andμ>0are two parameters. Using fixed point theories, several new and more general existence and multiplicity results are derived in terms of different values ofλ>0andμ>0. The exact upper and lower bounds for these positive solutions are also given. Moreover, the approach to deal with the impulsive term is different from earlier approaches. In this paper, our results cover equations without impulsive effects and are compared with some recent results by Ding and Wang.
