The purpose of this paper is to describe the initial postbuckling behavior of cylindrical shells under axial compression. Our thesis is that, out of a single infinity of possible buckling configurations which all correspond to diamond-shaped patterns, the square diamond pattern dominates. We do not claim that this pattern will be seen under all circumstances; we do claim, however, that if no substantial bias is present in either the initial imperfections or initial conditions, a natural selection mechanism exists which favors the square diamond configuration. In this paper we carry out the analytic work. A multiple scale technique is used to describe both the dynamic interaction and evolution of competing diamond patterns and the propagation of spatial inhomogeneities. Stability analysis on the resulting differential equation system lends support to our stated thesis. In addition, some initial numerical studies are presented which verify our conclusions. Part 2 will be devoted to more extensive numerical experiments.

In the differential equation system describes the motion of GLONASS satellites (rus. Globalnaya Navigazionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema, or Global Navigation Satellite System ), the acceleration caused by the luni-solar traction is often taken as a constant during the period of the integration. In this work-study, we assume that the acceleration due to the luni-solar traction is not constant but varies linearly during the period of integration following this assumption; the linear functions in the three axes of the luni-solar acceleration are computed for an interval of 30 min and then implemented into the differential equations. The use of the numerical integration of Runge-Kutta fourth-order is recommended in the GLONASS-ICD (Interface Control Document) to solve for the differential equation system in order to get an orbit solution. The computation of the position and velocity of a GLONASS satellite in this study is performed by using the Runge-Kutta fourth-order method in forward and backward integration, with initial conditions provided in the broadcast ephemerides file.

A mean-field type model with random growth and reset terms is considered. The stationary distributions resulting from the corresponding master equation are relatively easy to obtain; however, for practical applications one also needs to know the convergence to stationarity. The present work contributes to this direction, studying the transient dynamics in the discrete version of the model by two different approaches. The first method is based on mathematical induction by the recursive integration of the coupled differential equations for the discrete states. The second method transforms the coupled ordinary differential equation system into a partial differential equation for the generating function. We derive analytical results for some important, practically interesting cases and discuss the obtained results for the transient dynamics.

Global interaction of the boundary layer separating from an obstacle with resulting open/closed wakes is studied for a thin airfoil in a steady flow. Replacing the Kutta condition of the classical theory is the breakaway criterion of the laminar triple-deck interaction (Sychev 1972; Smith 1977), which, together with the assumption of a uniform wake/eddy pressure, leads to a nonlinear equation system for the breakaway location and wake shape. The solutions depend on a Reynolds numberReand an airfoil thickness ratio or incidence τ and, in the domain$Re^{\frac{1}{16}}\tau = O(1)$considered, the separation locations are found to be far removed from the classical Brillouin–Villat point for the breakaway from a smooth shape. Bifurcations of the steady-state solution are found among examples of symmetrical and asymmetrical flows, allowing open and closed wakes, as well as symmetry breaking in an otherwise symmetrical flow. Accordingly, the influence of thickness and incidence, as well as Reynolds number is critical in the vicinity of branch points and cut-off points where steady-state solutions can/must change branches/types. The study suggests a correspondence of this bifurcation feature with the lift hysteresis and other aerodynamic anomalies observed from wind-tunnel and numerical studies in subcritical and high-subcriticalReflows.

This paper shows a theoretical vibration analysis regarding excitation due to elliptical shaft journals in sleeve bearings of electrical motors, based on a simplified rotordynamic model. It is shown that elliptical shaft journals lead to kinematic constraints regarding the movement of the shaft journals on the oil film of the sleeve bearings and therefore to an excitation of the rotordynamic system. The solution of the linear differential equation system leads to the mathematical description of the movement of the rotor mass, the shaft journals, and the sleeve bearing housings. Additionally the relative movements between the shaft journals and the bearing housings are deduced, as well as the bearing housing vibration velocities. The presented simplified rotordynamic model can also be applied to rotating machines, other than electrical machines. In this case, only the electromagnetic spring valuecmhas to be put to zero.
