The first-order perturbation method is applied to a rapid estimation of heats of mixing of binary liquid mixtures containing molecules with a negligible polarity and approximately spherical symmetry. The calculation is based on the approximate perturbation expansion of the Helmholtz free energy up to first order and requires the knowledge of the radial distribution function of the hard-sphere reference system at the contact point. Generalized relations are used for estimating the molecular parameters. The calculated values are compared with experimental data on six mixtures. Good qualitative agreement was achieved in all cases investigated.

Excess volumes of the three binary mixtures: (1) cyclohexane – diethyl ketone, (2) cyclohexane–benzonitrile, and (3) toluene–benzonitrile have been measured at 303.15 K using a dilatometer. Excess volumes of the first two systems are positive over the whole range of composition and are negative for the third system. The measured excess volumes and the excess heats of mixing reported in the literature for the three binary systems have been analysed in the light of the statistical theory of liquid mixtures developed by Flory. The analysis has shown that the theory in its modified form is approximately applicable to the mixtures cyclohexane–diethylketone and cyclohexane–benzonitrile.

The first order perturbation expansion of the Helmholtz free energy was used to calculate the thermodynamic properties of aqueous electrolytes. The restricted primitive model was used as the reference system. Its properties were determined using semiempirical formulae consistent with simulated Monte Carlo data. A simple expression with two adjustable parameters was chosen for the perturbation potential. Integral heats of dilution and osmotic coefficients of alkaline halides and tetraalkylamonium bromides were calculated. An excellent agreement with the tabulated data was found up to the concentrations of 2-3mol/dm3.

The objective of this paper is to explore the impact of stochastic inputs on the buckling and post-buckling response of structural frames. In particular, we examine the impact of random member stiffness on the buckling load, and the initial slope and curvature of the post-buckling response of three example frames. A finite element implementation of Koiter's perturbation method is employed to efficiently examine the post-buckling response. Monte Carlo simulations where the member stiffness is treated as a random variable, as well as correlated and uncorrelated random fields, are completed. The efficiency of Koiter's perturbation method is the key to the feasibility of applying Monte Carlo simulation techniques, which typically requires a large number of sample simulations. In an attempt to curtail the need for multiple sample calculations, an alternative first-order perturbation expansion is proposed for approximating the mean and variance of the post-buckling behavior. However, the limitations of this first-order perturbation approximation are demonstrated to be significant. The simulations indicate that deterministic characteristics of the post-buckling response can be inadequate in the face of input randomness. In one case, a frame that is stable symmetric in the deterministic case is found to be asymmetric when randomness in the input is incorporated; therefore, this frame has real potential for imperfection sensitivity. The importance of random field models for the member stiffness as opposed to random variable models is highlighted. The simulations indicate that the post-buckling response can magnify input randomness, as variability in the post-buckling parameters can be greater than the variability in the input parameters.

It is shown, by a first-order perturbation expansion, that the dimensionality of the dynamical equations for the angular variables of two strongly coupled identical overdamped pendulums can be reduced from two to one. The resulting dynamical equation is seen to be similar to the one of a single pendulum with an additional fictitious torque characterized by a second harmonic contribution.
