In this paper, von Karman’s set of nonlinear equation for large deflection of rectangular plates is at first converted into several sets of linear equations by taking central dimensionless deflection as perturbation parameter, and then, the sets of linear equations for plates with various ratio λ of length to width are solved with application of variational method. The analytical expressions for displacements and stresses as well as formulas for numerical calculation are worked out. The figures of maximum deflection-load end maximum stress with ratio H of length to width as a parameter are given in this paper. Through comparison, it is found that the results of this paper are quite in accord with experiments.

A FEM analysis for studying mixed-mode fracture problem of chopped strand mat glass fibre reinforced polyester laminate is presented. The analysis is formulated on the basis of 8-node quadrilateral isoparametric element. The collapsed triangular quarter-point singular elements were used for calculating stress intensity factors K_Ι and K_Ⅱ.The crack propagation process was computed by implementing constraint release technique. Three different approaches to the solution of stress intensity factors K_Ι and K_Ⅱ were compared. The effect of constraint condition imposed upon the displacement of the three collapsed nodes of the crack tip elements on the K_Ι and K_Ⅱ results was evaluated. The mixed-mode critical stress intensity factors K_ΙC and K_ⅡC were estimated for CSM-GRP through the consideration of K_Ι and K_Ⅱ calculated and the measured failure load and critical crack length in the experiment.

This work is the continuation of the discussion ofRef. [1].In this paper we resolve the equations of isentropic gas dynamics into two problems: the three-dimensional non-constant irrotational flow (thus the isentropic flow, too), and the three-dimensional non-constant indivergentflow (i. e. the in compressible isentropic flow). We apply the theory of functions of a complex variable under Dirac-Pauli representation and the Legendre transformation, transform these equations of two problems from physical space into velocity space, and obtain two general Chaplygm equations in this paper. The general Chaplygin equation is a linear difference equation, and its general solution can be expressed at most by the hypergeometric functions. Thus we can obtain the general solution of general problems for the three-dimensional non-constant isentropic flow of gas dynamics.

In this paper, the global existence of solutions to the IVP =Δu+g(t)ƒ(u) (t>o), u|_t-o=u_o(x) and the PVP u_t=Δu-g(t,x)f(u) (t>0,x∈Ω) is investigated. As he heen done in [6], the in, faction of factor g(t) or g(t, x) in nonlinear term is to prevent the occurrance of blowing-up or quenching of solutions. It is shown in this paper that most of the restrictions onf, g and u0 in the theorems of [6] may be cancelled or relaxed, that the smallness ofg is required only for t large, and that under certain conditions controlling initial state can avoid blowing-up.

The feedback information necessary for tracking is specified for a class of systems including robots. A feedback control method is proposed by which a robot can track and grasp an arbitrarily moving object in space. It differs from the other methods in that it remains effective when orientation of the claw is impossible to be known in advance. Its validity is verified by digital simulation.

We consider the first boundary value problem of the second order elliptic equation and serendipity rectangular elements. Papers [2,3,9] proved that the gradients of finite element solution possess superconvergence at Gaussianpoint. In this paper, we extend the results in papers [2,3,9] in the sense that the coefficients of the elliptic equations are discontinuous on a curve S which lies in the bounded domain Ω.

Weighted residual solutions are presented for thermal bending of laminated composite plates. The material of each layer is assumed to he elasticallv and thermoelastically orthotropic andbimodular. The formulations are based on the thermoclaxtic version of the theory of Whitney-Pagano laminated plate. which includes thickness shear deformations. The results are obtained for deflections and neutral-aurface positions and are found to be in good agreement with the closed-farm solution.

Under the condition that all the perfectly plastic stress components at a crack tip are the functions of θ only, making use of the Tresca yield condition, steady-state moving equations and elastic perfectly-plastic constitutive equations, we derive the generally analytical expressions of perfectly palstic stress field at a rapidly propagating plane-stress crack tip. Applying these generally analytical expressions to the concrete crack, we obtain the analytical expressions of perfectly plastic stress field at the rapidly propagating tips of models I and II plane-stress cracks.

With non-linear Rayleigh damping formulate describe the exciting process when the rupture velocity is low and the attenuation process when the rupture velocity re ache s a certain high value. Assuming the medium of the earth crust is homogeneous and isotropic linear Voigt viscoelastic body, with small parameter perturbation method to deduce the non-linear governing partial differential equations into a system of asymptotic linear ones, we solve them by means of generalizedfourier series with moving coordinates as its variables, thus transform them into non-homogeneous mathieu equations. At last Matkieu equations are solved by WK3J method.
