In this work, a general solution for the elastic stress field in a cylindrically anisotropic body, the hollow circular cylinder, under surface tractions which do not vary along the generator and which can be expressed in the form of a Fourier series, is presented. The form of the solution is sufficiently general to permit direct extension to an important class of composite structures, namely, laminated circular cylinders. Some of the peculiar effects of anisotropy are illustrated by the solution of a specific boundary-value problem—a circular hole in a large plate under tension.

In a previous communication we employed the solution of the equation ∇ 4 ψ = 0 in bipolar co-ordinates defined by α + iβ = log x + i ( y + a )/ x + i ( y - a ) (1) to discuss the problem of the elastic equilibrium of a plate bounded by any two non-concentric circles. There is a well-known analogy between plain elastic stress and two-dimensional steady motion of a viscous fluid, for which the stream-function satisfies ∇ 4 ψ = 0. The boundary conditions are, however, different in the two cases, and the hydrodynamical problem has its own special difficulties.

It is shown that, in the three-dimensional lattice gravity defined by Ponzano and Regge, the space of physical states is isomorphic to the space of gauge-invariant functions on the moduli space of flat SU(2) connections over a two-dimensional surface, which gives physical states in the ISO(3) Chern–Simons gauge theory. To prove this, we employ the q-analogue of this model defined by Turaev and Viro as a regularization to sum over states. A recent work by Turaev suggests that the q-analogue model itself may be related to an Euclidean gravity with a cosmological constant proportional to 1/k2, where q=e2πi/(k+2).


In this paper we discuss two-dimensional surface source and implant problems for a substitutional-interstitial diffusion model. We present asymptotic solutions in the limit of the surface concentration of impurity (or peak concentration of the implant) being far greater than the equilibrium vacancy concentration. Using leading order composite solutions we plot contours of constant impurity concentration. Some of these contours differ markedly from those of the corresponding linear problem, having the ‘bird’s beak’ shape which is frequently observed in experiments. We also discuss a two-dimensional surface source problem for a va­cancy model.

The excellent applications and researches of so-called photonic crystals raise the exciting researches of phononic crystals. By the analogy between photon and phonon, repetitive composite structures that are made up of different elastic materials can also prevent elastic waves of some certain frequencies from passing by, i.e., the frequency band gap features also exist in acoustic waves. In this paper, we present the results of the tunable band gaps of acoustic waves in two-dimensional phononic crystals with reticular band structures using the finite element method. Band gaps variations of the bulk modes due to different thickness and angles of reticular band structures are calculated and discussed. The results show that the total elastic band gaps for mixed polarization modes can be enlarged or reduced by adjusting the orientation of the reticular band structures. The phenomena of band gaps of elastic or acoustic waves can potentially be utilized for vibration-free, high-precision mechanical systems, and sound insulation.
