The intrinsic approach to the nonlinear dynamics of shells, which was introduced in [6], is reviewed and extended by the addition of appropriate initial and boundary conditions of the dynamic and kinematic types to the field equations. The alternative semi-intrinsic velocity approaches (where the velocity components supply the connection between the equations of motion and the time rates of the metric and curvature) are also presented. Both linear and rotational velocity forms are included. The relative merits of these approaches to shell dynamics are discussed and compared with extrinsic approaches.

The N-body problem is analyzed within the framework of a new formalism for relativistic point masses interacting via a scalar field, in which the problems of infinite self-energies are absent. A Lagrangian formalism is exhibited which yields the particle equations of motion in the form of a parameterized class of equations. The parameter determines the choice of boundary conditions which is chosen on the scalar-field equations. The existence or nonexistence of the relativistic nuclear hard-core effect, associated with the scalar-field interactions, is shown to depend critically on the particular set of boundary conditions which are imposed on the scalar-field equations. In particular, time-symmetric boundary conditions yield no hard-core repulsion, while retarded boundary conditions are shown to yield a hard-core repulsion at very short range.

Abstract Dynamic response of a printed wiring board (PWB) is analyzed in nonlinear dynamics approach. Equations of motion for the simply supported PWB and the clamped PWB are obtained by the Galerkin’s method. A 2-layer plastic PWB made of isotropic laminates is studied for its boundary condition effect on the vibratory behavior in deflection and stresses. Failure due to plane stress interaction is estimated based on the composite failure criteria. It is found that nonlinear resonance occurs almost periodically in both frequency and temporal domain. Load frequency and magnitude affect the deflection response under different boundary conditions. Resonance behavior is critical in PWB failure prediction based on the stress analysis. The analytical results can be extended to the nonlinear dynamics analysis of the thin laminated plate.

The fountain nonisothermal flow of a viscous fluid realized during circular pipe filling is investigated. The mathematical basis of the process is formed by equations of motion, continuity and energy with respective initial and boundary conditions with due account of the temperature dependence of viscosity, the presence of a free boundary and dissipation of mechanical energy. To solve the problem numerically a finite difference method is required. Depending on the values defining the dimensionless parameters the results of parametric studies in temperature, viscosity, dynamic and kinematic characteristics of the flow are shown. Flow patterns for the formulation of problems with different initial and boundary conditions are given. The separation of flow into the zone of spatial flow in the vicinity of the free surface and one dimensional flow away from it, and changing the shape of the free boundary, depending on the level of dissipative heating are demonstrated.

The present paper deals with the nonlinear dynamics of a Stockbridge damper. The nonlinearity is from damping and the geometric stretching of the messenger. The Stockbridge damper is modeled as two cantilevered beams with tip masses. The equations of motion and boundary conditions are derived using Hamilton’s principle. The model is valid for both symmetric and asymmetric Stockbridge dampers. Explicit expressions are presented for the frequency equation, mode shapes, nonlinear frequency, and modulation equations. Experiments are conducted to validate the proposed model.

The nonlinear, coupled equations of motion governing the axial and rotational displacements of a straight, single lay, twisted wire cable are presented. Linearization of the equations of motion allows a solution by Laplace transforms which is valid for arbitrary initial and boundary conditions. The longitudinal impact of a finite-length cable fixed at one end is considered in detail, and numerical results for this case are presented.

Physically-based, deterministic models, are considered in this paper. Physically-based, in that the models have a theoretical structure based primarily on the laws of conservation of mass, energy, or momentum; deterministic in the sense that when initial and boundary conditions and inputs are specified, the output is known with certainty. This type of model attempts to describe the structure of a particular hydrologic process and is therefore helpful in predicting what will happen when some change occurs in the system.

A theoretical model is described of the mean two-dimensional flow of homogeneous charge in a flat-bottomed cylindrical tank with radial baffles and six-blade turbine disc impeller. The model starts from the concept of vorticity transport in the bulk of vortex liquid flow through the mechanism of eddy diffusion characterized by a constant value of turbulent (eddy) viscosity. The result of solution of the equation which is analogous to the Stokes simplification of equations of motion for creeping flow is the description of field of the stream function and of the axial and radial velocity components of mean flow in the whole charge. The results of modelling are compared with the experimental and theoretical data published by different authors, a good qualitative and quantitative agreement being stated. Advantage of the model proposed is a very simple schematization of the system volume necessary to introduce the boundary conditions (only the parts above the impeller plane of symmetry and below it are distinguished), the explicit character of the model with respect to the model parameters (model lucidity, low demands on the capacity of computer), and, in the end, the possibility to modify the given model by changing boundary conditions even for another agitating set-up with radially-axial character of flow.
