Thermoelastic Problems

Steady-state problems of stresses in orthotropic slabs subjected to forces and temperature distribution on the faces are solved by means of Fourier transforms. The usual direct applications in the literature are shown for simple examples to lead to divergent integrals but, by introduction of generalized transforms, a very broad class of problems can be handled. As a part of these considerations, a more definite form of Saint-Venant’s principle is obtained. For a certain class of material constants, it is possible to obtain closed-form solutions for stresses when concentrated loads or temperature sources are applied to the faces of the slab. Results are presented for several examples in the form of complex stress potentials and graphs of the corresponding stress components.

Force Equilibrium

A general finite width correction ( FWC) factor is derived in this letter for an anisotropic laminate with elliptical soft/hard inclusion. Using the closed-form solutions for the stress components in the laminate, the derivation of the FWC factor is based on the concept of the global force equilibrium. Some specific cases are discussed. The accuracy of the derived FWC factor is demonstrated.

Thermal Explosion Theory

This paper is devoted to closed-form solutions of the partial differential equation:θxx+θyy+δexp(θ)=0, which arises in the steady state thermal explosion theory. We find simple exact solutions of the formθ(x,y)=Φ(F(x)+G(y)), andθ(x,y)=Φ(f(x+y)+g(x-y)). Also, we study the corresponding nonlinear wave equation.

Low Tension

Low tension cables subject to torque may form complex three-dimensional (spatial) equilibria. The resulting nonlinear static deformations, which are dominated by cable flexure and torsion, may produce interior loops or kinks that can seriously degrade the performance of the cable. Using Kirchhoffrod assumptions, a theoretical model governing cable flexure and torsion is derived herein and used to analyze (1) globally large equilibrium states, and (2) local equilibrium stability. For the broad class of problems described by pure boundary loading, the equilibrium boundary value problem is integrable and admits closed-form elliptic integral solutions. Attention is focused on the example problem of a cable subject to uni-axial torque and thrust. Closed-form solutions are presented for the complex three-dimensional equilibrium states which, heretofore, were analyzed using purely numerical methods. Moreover, the stability of these equilibrium states is assessed and new and important stability conclusions are drawn.

An optimal harvesting problem is analyzed in the Lotka–McKendrick model of age-structured populations. Depending on the imposed constraints, this problem possesses bang-bang or impulse regimes, which have meaningful interpretations and relevant policy implications. A steady state analysis of the model produces closed-form solutions for the optimal sustainable harvesting in a new and an existing population.

Dynamic catalysis—the forced oscillation of catalytic reaction coordinate potential energy surfaces (PES)—has recently emerged as a promising method for the acceleration of heterogeneously-catalyzed reactions. Theoretical study of enhancement of rates and supra-equilibrium product yield via dynamic catalysis has, to-date, been severely limited by onerous computational demands of forward integration of stiff, coupled ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that are necessary to quantitatively describe periodic cycling between PESs. We establish a new approach that reduces, by ≳108×, the computational cost of finding the time-averaged rate at dynamic steady state (i.e. the limit cycle for linear and nonlinear systems of kinetic equations). Our developments are motivated by and conceived from physical and mathematical insight drawn from examination of a simple, didactic case study for which closed-form solutions of rate enhancement are derived in explicit terms of periods of oscillation and elementary step rate constants. Generalization of such closed-form solutions to more complex catalytic systems is achieved by introducing a periodic boundary condition requiring the dynamic steady state solution to have the same periodicity as the kinetic oscillations and solving the corresponding differential equations by linear algebra or Newton-Raphson-based approaches. The methodology is well-suited to extension to non-linear systems for which we detail the potential for multiple solutions or solutions with different periodicities. For linear and non-linear systems alike, the acute decrement in computational expense enables rapid optimization of oscillation waveforms and, consequently, accelerates understanding of the key catalyst properties that enable maximization of reaction rates, conversions, and selectivities during dynamic catalysis.

Distribution Of Stress

Uniform plastic slip is assumed to occur in a cubic region embedded at the free surface of a semi-infinite elastic solid. The slip plane and slip direction are both inclined at 45 deg to the free surface and to two opposite interior faces of the cube. The stress field produced by the slip is the same as that produced by equivalent uniform tractions acting on the faces of the cube. Closed-form solutions are obtained for all stress components by employing Papkovitch functions to calculate the effects of the equivalent surface tractions. Calculated numerical results for the distribution of stress components are shown graphically. Certain stress components are found to be discontinuous across the boundary surface of the region of plastic slip.
