One-dimensional random packing, known as the car-parking problem, was first analyzed by Rényi (1958). A stochastic version of Kakutani's (1975) interval splitting is another typical model on a one-dimensional interval. We consider a generalized car-parking problem which contains the above two models as special cases. In the generalized model, one can park a car of length l, if there is a space not less than 1. We give the limiting packing density and the limiting distribution of the length of randomly selected gaps between cars. Our results bridge the two models of Rényi and Kakutani.

One-dimensional random walks with a constant velocity between scattering are considered. The exact solution is expressed in terms of multiple convolutions of path-distributions assumed to be different for positive and negative directions of the walk axis. Several special cases are considered when the convolutions are expressed in explicit form. As a particular case, the solution of A. S. Monin for a symmetric random walk with exponential path distribution and its generalization to the asymmetric case are obtained. Solution of fractional telegraph equation with the fractional material derivative is presented. Asymptotic behavior of its solution for an asymmetric case is provided.

Representations in a closed form are derived, using an extension to the method of dislocation layers, for the phonon and phason stress and electric displacement components in the deformation of one-dimensional piezoelectric quasicrystals by a nonuniformly loaded stack of parallel antiplane shear cracks. Their dependence upon the polar angle in the region close to the tip of a crack is deduced, and the field intensity factors then follow. These exhibit that the phenomenon of crack shielding is dependent upon the relative spacing of the cracks. The analogous analyses, that have not been given previously, involving non-piezoelectric or non-quasicrystalline or simply elastic materials can be straightforwardly considered as special cases. Even when the loading is uniform and the crack is embedded in a purely elastic isotropic solid, no explicit representations have been available before for the components of the field at points other than directly ahead of a crack. Typical numerical results are graphically displayed.


An investigation has been carried out of the limiting packing density of an array of long straight rigid fibres distributed randomly in space as a function of the length of the fibre. We derive an approximate relationship between the limiting volume fraction V f and the slenderness λ of the fibres defined as length divided by diameter. The formula agrees well with our experimental results and those found in the literature.

Interaction of a screw dislocation with wedge-shaped cracks in one-dimensional hexagonal piezoelectric quasicrystals bimaterial is considered. The general solutions of the elastic and electric fields are derived by complex variable method. Then the analytical expressions for the phonon stresses, phason stresses, and electric displacements are given. The stresses and electric displacement intensity factors of the cracks are also calculated, as well as the force on dislocation. The effects of the coupling constants, the geometrical parameters of cracks, and the dislocation location on stresses intensity factors and image force are shown graphically. The distribution characteristics with regard to the phonon stresses, phason stresses, and electric displacements are discussed in detail. The solutions of several special cases are obtained as the results of the present conclusion.

The general Lie point transformation group and the associated reduced differential equations and similarity forms for the solutions are derived here for the coupled (nonlinear) Vlasov–Maxwell equations in one spatial dimension. The case of one species in a background is shown to admit a larger group than the multi-species case. Previous exact solutions are shown to be special cases of the above solutions, and many of the new solutions are found to constrain the form of the distribution function much more than, for example, the BGK solutions do. The individual generators of the Lie group are used to find the possible subgroups. Finally, a simple physical argument is given to show that the asymptotic solution (t→∞) for a one-species, one-dimensional plasma is one of the general similarity solutions.
