The behaviors of an interface crack between dissimilar orthotropic elastic half-planes subjected to uniform tension was reworked by use of the Schmidt method.By use of the Fourier transform,the problem can be solved with the help of two pairs of dual integral equations,of which the unknown variables are the jumps of the displacements across the crack surfaces.Numerical examples are provided for the stress intensity factors of the cracks.Contrary to the previous solution of the interface crack,it is found that the stress singularity of the present interface crack solution is of the same nature as that for the ordinary crack in homogeneous materials.When the materials from the two half planes are the same,an exact solution can be otained.

The motion of fibers in turbulent pipe flow was simulated by 3-D integral method based on the slender body theory and simplified model of turbulence.The orientation distribution of fibers in the computational area for different Re numbers was computed.The results which were consistent with the experimental ones show that the fluctuation velocity of turbulence cause fibers to orient randomly.The orientation distributions become broader as the Re number increases.Then the fluctuation velocity and angular velocity of fibers were obtained.Both are affected by the fluctuation velocity of turbulence.The fluctuation velocity intensity of fiber is stronger at longitudinal than at lateral,while it was opposite for the fluctuation angular velocity intensity of fibers.Finally,the spatial distribution of fiber was given.It is obvious that the fiber dispersion is strenghened with the increase of Re numbers.

A new 3D finite-difference(FD) method of spatially asymmetric staggered grids was presented to simulate elastic wave propagation in topographic structures.The method approximated the first-order elastic wave equations by irregular grids finite difference operator with second-order time precise and fourth-order spatial precise.Additional introduced finite difference formula solved the asymmetric problem arisen in non-uniform staggered grid scheme.The method had no interpolation between the fine and coarse grids.All grids were computed at the same spatial iteration.Complicated geometrical structures like rough submarine interface,fault and nonplanar interfaces were treated with fine irregular grids.Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations show that this method saves considerable memory and computing time,at the same time,has satisfactory stability and accuracy.

Based on the Coulomb's theory that the earth pressure against the back of a retaining wall is due to the thrust exerted by the sliding wedge of soil from the back of the wall to a plane which passes through the bottom edge of the wall and has an inclination equal to the angle of θ, the theoretical answers to the unit earth pressure, the resultant earth pressure and the point of application of the resultant earth pressure on a retaining wall were obtained for the wall movement mode of rotation about top. The comparisons were made among the formula presented here, the formula for the wall movement mode of translation, the Coulomb's formula and some experimental observations. It is demonstrated that the magnitudes of the resultant earth pressures for the wall movement mode of rotation about top is equal to that determined by the formula for the wall movement mode of translation and the Coulomb's theory. But the distribution of the earth pressure and the points of application of the resultant earth pressures have significant difference.

The Fourier series method was extended for the exact analysis of wave propagation in an infinite rectangular beam.Initially,by solving the three-dimensional elastodynamic equations a general analytic solution was derived for wave motion within the beam.And then for the beam with stress-free boundaries,the propagation characteristics of elastic waves were presented.This accurate wave propagation model lays a solid foundation of simultaneous control of coupled waves in the beam.

Differential equation of restrained torsion for rectangular-section box bar with honeycomb core was established and solved by using the method of undetermined function.Non-dimension normal stress, shear stress acting in the faceplate and shear stress acting in the honeycomb-core and warping displacement were deduced. Numerical analysis shows the normal stress attenuates quickly along x-axis. Normal stress acting on the cross section at a distance of 20 h from the fixed end is only one per cent of that acting on the fixed end.

The motion of a rigid body about fixed point with small radial mass-unbalance in homogeneous gravitational field was discussed. The dynamical equations described by state variables of the body were established, and approximate analytical solutions for a spinning body with high speed were obtained by use of the average method. The influence of the radial mass-unbalance of the rotor to the precession character of a free-rotor gyroscope was analyzed. And a physical explanation of the drift phenomenon of the gyro was given. An applicable formula of gyro's constant drift in analytical form was obtained, which is perfectly coincident with the numerical calculation.

A representation for the velocity and pressure fields in three-dimensional Stokes flow was presented in terms of a biharmonic function A and a harmonic function B.This representation was used to establish a general theorem for the calculation of Stokes flow due to fundamental singularities in a region bounded by a stationary no-slip plane boundary.Collins's theorem for axisymmetric Stokes flow before a rigid plane follows as a special case of the theorem.A few illustrative examples are given to show its usefulness.

The initial layer phenomena for a class of singular perturbed nonlinear system with slow variables are studied. By introducing stretchy variables with different quantity levels and constructing the correction term of initial layer with different “thickness”, the N-order approximate expansion of perturbed solution concerning small parameter is obtained,and the “multiple layer” phenomena of perturbed solutions are revealed.Using the fixed point theorem,the existence of perturbed solution is proved, and the uniformly valid asymptotic expansion of the solutions is given as well.
