High order accurate scheme is highly desirable for flow computation with shocks. After analysis has been made for the reason of the generation of non-physical oscillations around the shock in numerical computations, a third-order, upwind biased, shock capturing scheme was proposed. Also, a new shock fitting method, called pseudo shock fitting method, was suggested, which in principle can be with any order of accuracy. Test cases for one dimensional flows show that the new method is very satisfactory.

Using five-story shear models, the inelastic torsional coupled response of eccentric buildings to different earthquake intensity was studied. Results show that the torsional couple degree is closely related to the strength distribution of the resisting elements. Generally, the building designed by spectral modal analysis method has a tendency to move translationally as the earthquake intensity increases. The building designed by proportion rigidity method will rotate heavily to moderate earthquake, but when it is intensively excited into the inelastic phase, the coupling would decrease slightly, but could not be neglected.

To predict the characteristics of dense liquid-solid two-phase flow, K-ε-T model is established, in which the turbulent flow of fluid phase is described with fluid turbulent kinetic energy K_f and its dissipation rate ε_f, and the particles random motion is described with particle turbulent energy K_p and its dissipation rate ε_p and pseudothermal temperature T_p. The governing equations are also derived. With K-ε-T model, numerical study of dense liquid-solid two-phase turbulent up-flow in a pipe is performed. The calculated results are in good agreement with experimental data of Alajbegovic et al. (1994), and some flow features are captured.

A new refined first-order shear-deformation plate theory of the Kármán type is presented for engineering applications and a new version of the generalized Kármán large deflection equations with deflection and stress functions as two unknown variables is formulated for nonlinear analysis of shear-deformable plates of composite material and construction, based on the Mindlin/Reissner theory. In this refined plate theory two rotations that are constrained out in the formulation are imposed upon overall displacements of the plates in an implicit role. Linear and nonlinear investigations may be made by the engineering theory to a class of shear-deformation plates such as moderately thick composite plates, orthotropic sandwich plates, densely stiffened plates, and laminated shear-deformable plates. Reduced forms of the generalized Kármán equations are derived consequently, which are found identical to those existe in the literature.

A discrete algorithm suitable for the computation of complex frequency-domain convolution on computers was derived. The Durbin's numerical inversion of Laplace transforms can be used to figure out the time-domain digital solution of the result of complex frequency-domain convolutions. Compared with the digital solutions and corresponding analytical solutions, it is shown that the digital solutions have high precision.

The Lie symmetries and conserved quantities of the rotational relativistic holonomic and nonholonomic systems were studied. By defining the infinitesimal transformations' generators and by using the invariance of the differential equations under the infinitesimal transformations, the determining equations of Lie symmetries for the rotational relativistic mechanical systems are established. The structure equations and the forms of conserved quantities are obtained. An example to illustrate the application of the results is given.

A least-squares mixed finite element method was formulated for a class of Stokes equations in two dimensional domains. The steady state and the time-dependent Stokes' equations were considered. For the stationary equation, optimal H¹ and L² -error estimates are derived under the standard regularity assumption on the finite element partition(the LBB-condition is not required). For the evolutionary equation, optimal L^{2 estimates are derived under the conventional Raviart-Thomas spaces.}

The mathematical model described in Part I was solved using “influence line method” combining analytical method and finite element method. Many important aspects of microcirculatory dynamics were analyzed and discussed. It show that interstitial fluid pressure changes its sign twice within one arteriolar vasomotion period and it is therefore not important that interstitial fluid pressure is a little higher or lower than atmospheric pressure; arteriolar vasomotion can periodically result in lymph formation and interstitial total pressure plays an important role in this procedure; local regulation of microcirculation can meet metabolic need some extent in the form of dynamic equilibrium. The property of arteriole as a “resistant vessel” and the efficiency of microvascular network as heat exchanger are also shown. These results show that the comprehensive mathematical model developed in Part I is physiologically reasonable.

A class of polynomial system was structured, which depends on a parameter δ. When δmonotonous changes, more than one neighbouring limit cycles located in the vector field of this polynomial system can expand (or reduce) together with the δ. But the expansion (or reduction) of these limit cycles is not surely monotonous. This vector field is like the rotated vector field. So these limit cycles of the polynomial system are called to constitute an “analogue rotated vector field” with δ. They may become an effective tool to study the bifurcation of multiple limit cycle or fine separatrix cycle.
