Using moving mesh finite element method we discuss the temperature field produced by a moving heat source with the variable thermal conductivity and with the raUioative and convective boundary conditions in a wide range of the velocity. The temperature-time relationships at various velocities in the static and moving coordinate systems are studied. The steady-state temperature distributions at various velocities in the moving coordinate systems are given. The temperature field produced by the plastic deformation at the process region (a region very near the crack tip) is also studied, and the results show that the highest temperature at the process region is lower than 1000℃ or 1832℉

In this paper, using the method of differential inequalities, we study the existence of solutions and their asymptotic behavior, as e->0⁺ > ofDirichlt problem for second order quasttinear systems. Depending on whether the reduced solution U(t) has or does not have a continuous first-derivative in (a, b), we study two types of asymptotic behaviour, thus leading to the phenomena of boundary and angular layers.

In this paper, the compactness of quasi-conforming element spaces and the convergence of quasi-conforming element method are discussed. The well-known Rellich compactness theorem is generalized to the sequences of quasi-conforming element spaces with certain properties, and the generalized Poincare inequality. The generalized Friedrichs inequality and the generalized inequality of Poincare-Friedrichs are proved true for them. The error estimates are also given. It is shown that the quasi-conforming element method is convergent if the quasi-conforming element spaces have the approximability and the strong continuity, and satisfy the rank condition of element and pass the test IPT. As practical examples, 6-paramenter, 9-paramenter, 12-paramenter, 15-parameter, 18-parameter and 21-paramenter quasi-conforming elements are shown to be convergent, and their L^2'2errorsare0(h_τ), 0(h_τ),0(h_τ²),O(h_τ²). 0(h_τ²) , and 0(h_τ4) respectively.

Extending Novozhilov's transformation, this paper simplifies successfully the axisymmetry problems of ring shells under arbitrary distributed loads, and the equation of the problems in complex form which is similar to Novozhilov's is obtained.The particular solution is obtained. Combining with Chien's general solution of homogeneous equation, this paper gives the general solution for the general symmetry problems of ring shells. Various examples of useful loads and closed ring shells are discussed respectively.

According to recent studies of the generalized variational principle by Professor Chien Weizang, the more generalized hybrid variational principle for finite element method is given, from which a new kind of the generalized hybrid element model is etablished.Using the thin plate bending element with varying thickness as an example, we compare various hybrid elements based on different generalized variational principles.

In this paper we present the experiment results of the space correlations of temperature fluctuations when there is and is not temperature gradient. From those results we can see clearly that the temperature fluctuation field is isotropic without temperature gradient, and it is obviously anisotropic with temperature gradient. The temperature correlation along gradient direction ft is obviously larger than the vertical to ft direction. Our experiment results agree with the theory results of D. W. Dunn and W.H. Rend[1].
