The elastic contact of a plate with two axisymmetric bodies, generally of dissimilar elastic properties and curvatures, is considered. The solution of the resulting two integral equations is given as a truncated series of Legendre polynomials of even order whose coefficients may be determined from a system of linear algebraic equations. The relationships between the total load, radii of curvature of the bodies, contact radii, approach, radial displacements, maximum contact stress, and the plate thickness can then be computed in terms of these coefficients. Numerical computations have been carried out for the contact of a plate with two identical spheres.

A numerical scheme for the axially symmetric contact problem of a plate pressed between two identical spheres is given. The axially symmetric contact stress distribution is represented by a finite set of pressure distributions linearly varying with the radius between values defined in a set of concentric circles. The normal displacements of the bodies in contact resulting from these pressure distributions are matched at every radius of the discrete set of radii of these circles. The integral equation for the unkown contact stress distribution is thus approximated by a set of linear algebraic equations whose solution yields the unknown pressure values of the approximate distribution. The contact radius, relative approach, and the maximum contact stress are then computed numerically from this solution and are presented in terms of the total load, the radius of the sphere, and the plate thickness.

They work out various kinds of breast-walls in which tyres are threaded on the columns deepened into the ground. The space between the internal surfaces of tyres and external surfaces of columns is filled with compressed ground or cement-ground. Using Vlasov–Leontyev combined model they consider the problem of contact interaction of round elements of mentioned constructions with elastic padding at the contact. Basing on the method of Furie rows for solution of contact problems they get endless system of linear algebraic equations of Furie coefficients. As a result of solution of contact problem they find wanted values of deformation and contact pressure

The contact problem of an elastic stiffener bonded to an elastic half plane with different mechanical properties is considered. The governing integral equation is reduced to an infinite system of linear algebraic equations. It is shown that, depending on the value of a parameter which is a function of the elastic constants and the thickness of the stiffener, the system is either regular or quasi-regular. A complete numerical example is given for which the strength of the stress singularity and the contact stresses are tabulated.

Integrals which represent the spectral moments of the stationary response of a linear and time-invariant system under random excitation are considered. It is shown that these integrals can be determined through the solution of linear algebraic equations. These equations are derived by considering differential equations for both the autocorrelation function of the system response and its Hilbert transform. The method can be applied to determine both even-order and odd-order spectral moments. Furthermore, it provides a potent generalization of a classical formula used in control engineering and applied mathematics. The applicability of the derived formula is demonstrated by considering random excitations with, among others, the white noise, “Gaussian,” and Kanai-Tajimi seismic spectra. The results for the classical problem of a randomly excited single-degree-of-freedom oscillator are given in a concise and readily applicable format.

AbstractFunctional differential equations have importance in many areas of science such as mathematical physics. These systems are difficult to solve analytically.In this paper we consider the systems of linear functional differential equations [1-9] including the term y(αx + β) and advance-delay in derivatives of y .To obtain the approximate solutions of those systems, we present a matrix-collocation method by using Müntz-Legendre polynomials and the collocation points. For this purpose, to obtain the approximate solutions of those systems, we present a matrix-collocation method by using Müntz-Legendre polynomials and the collocation points. This method transform the problem into a system of linear algebraic equations. The solutions of last system determine unknown co-efficients of original problem. Also, an error estimation technique is presented and the approximate solutions are improved by using it. The program of method is written in Matlab and the approximate solutions can be obtained easily. Also some examples are given to illustrate the validity of the method.

The article discusses the solution of the spatial contact problem arising when calculating a reinforced concrete rafter beam pivotally supported by concrete walls. The walls are modeled by the elastic quarter-space on the left and by one-eighth of the elastic space on the right. This contact problem is solved using the numerical method - the Zhemochkin method. For this purpose, the contact area is divided into fragments. Rigid one-way ties are set in the center of each fragment to implement contact between the beam and the wall. It is assumed that the forces arising in these ties provide uniform distribution of reactive pressures in the appropriate fragment. Then, the system of linear algebraic equations for the mixed method of structural mechanics shall be prepared and solved. Different Green functions are assumed for the left and right wall. The problem under consideration is nonlinear, and it requires an iterative process to calculate the effective area of contact and the values of the related reactive pressures. The iterative process shall be finished when contact stresses at the boundary of separation of the structure from the walls are identically equal to zero, or when there are no stretched Zhemochkin ties. Isolines of contact stresses and vertical displacements of the contact areas of the walls are plotted for the flexibility index corresponding to the real ratio of rigidity of supported structures and the flexibility index corresponding to the support of the absolutely rigid beam. The function is found, describing the torque arising in the beam versus the distance from the edge of one eighth of the elastic space. A beam can be considered as supported on the left and right by the elastic quarter-space when the distance from the beam axis and the edge of one-eighth of the space exceeds the twofold beam width. В статье рассматривается решение пространственной контактной задачи, возникающей при расчете железобетонной стропильной балки, шарнирно опираемой на бетонные стены. Стены моделируются слева упругим четвертьпространством и справа -одной восьмой пространства. Данная контактная задача решается с использованием численного метода -метода Б. Н. Жемочкина. Для этого область контакта разбивается на участки. В центрах каждого участка устанавливаются жесткие односторонние связи, через которые осуществляется контакт балки со стеной. При этом предполагается, что усилия, возникающие в установленных связях, вызывают равномерное распределение реактивных давлений в соответствующем участке. Далее составляется и решается система линейных алгебраических уравнений смешанного метода строительной механики. Для левой и правой стен принимаются различные функции Грина. Рассматриваемая задача является нелинейной и требует итерационного процесса для определения фактической области контакта с величинами соответствующих реактивных давлений. Моментом окончания итерационного процесса служит тождественное равенство нулю контактных напряжений на границе отрыва конструкции от стен либо отсутствие растянутых связей Б. Н. Жемочкина. Построены изолинии контактных напряжений и вертикальных перемещений контактных областей стен при показателе гибкости, соответствующем реальному соотношению жесткостей опираемых конструкций, и показателе гибкости, соответствующем опиранию абсолютно жесткой балки. Установлена зависимость возникающего крутящего момента в балке от расстояния до края одной восьмой упругого пространства. Балку можно считать как опираемую слева и справа на упругое четвертьпространство, когда расстояние от оси балки и края одной восьмой пространства превышает двойную ширину балки.

AbstractA method of approximate solution of the linear one-dimensional Fredholm integral equation of the second kind is constructed. With the help of the Steklov averaging operator the integral equation is approximated by a system of linear algebraic equations. On the basis of the approximation used an increased order convergence solution has been obtained.

AbstractIn this study, we developed a discrete theory of the charge transport in thin dielectric films by trapped electrons or holes, that is applicable both for the case of countable and a large number of traps. It was shown that Shockley–Read–Hall-like transport equations, which describe the 1D transport through dielectric layers, might incorrectly describe the charge flow through ultra-thin layers with a countable number of traps, taking into account the injection from and extraction to electrodes (contacts). A comparison with other theoretical models shows a good agreement. The developed model can be applied to one-, two- and three-dimensional systems. The model, formulated in a system of linear algebraic equations, can be implemented in the computational code using different optimized libraries. We demonstrated that analytical solutions can be found for stationary cases for any trap distribution and for the dynamics of system evolution for special cases. These solutions can be used to test the code and for studying the charge transport properties of thin dielectric films.
