Making use of conclusions from [1]: (1) d-δ operations are commutative; (2) the Appell-Chetaev condition restricting virtual displacements is superfluous, the present paper derives the Lagrange equation without multipliers for a class of first-order nonlinear nonholonomic dynamical systems by means of variational principle. This kind of equations is new.

In this paper, we introduce a new unified and general class of variational inequalities, and show some existence and uniqueness results of solutions for this kind of variational inequalities. As an application, we utilize the results presented in this paper to study the Signorini problem in mechanics.

This paper presents the parametric variational principle for Perzyna model which is one of the main constitutive relations of viscoplasticity.The principle,by which the potential energy function is minimized under a constrained condition transformed by the constitutive relations of viscoplasticity, is free from the bound of Drucker’s postulate of plastic flow and consequently suitable for solving the nonassociated plastic flow problems. Furthermore, the paper has proven the presented principle and discussed the creep problem.

This paper discusses the nonlinear stability behaviour of distorted plane Couette flow to 2-dimensional disturbances, and compares it with that of distorted plane Poiseuille flow. The results show that plane Couette flow is more unstable than plane Poiseuille flow to finite-amplitude disturbances.

Based on a general assumption for plastic potential and yield surface, some properties of the nonassociated plasticity are studied, and the existence and uniqueness of the distribution of incremental stress and displacement for work-hardening materials are proved by using nonsymmetric Lax-Milgram lemma, when the work-hardening parameter .

Based on Karman’s nonlinear fundamental differential equations, the new approach, which combines modi/led iteration method with Galerkin’s one, has been put forward to solve nonlinear bending of shallow spherical shell with concave base and clamped edges on the Pasternak foundation under uniform loads in this paper. Mathematical expression of load-deflection has been given; furthermore, results obtained are in good agreement with existent ones.

In the present paper, the compatibility equation for the plane stress problems of power-law materials is transformed into a biharmonic equation by introducing the so-called complex pseudo-stress function, which makes it possible to solve the elastic-plastic plane stress problems of strain hardening materials described by power-law using the complex variable function method like that in the linear elasticity theory. By using this general method, the close-formed analytical solutions for the stress, strain and displacement components of the plane stress problems of power-law materials is deduced in the paper, which can also be used to solve the elasto-plastic plane stress problems of strain-hardening materials other than that described by power-law. As an example, the problem of a power-law material infinite plate containing a circular hole under uniaxial tension is solved by using this method, the results of which are compared with those of a known asymptotic analytical solution obtained by the perturbation method.

Recently, many authors^[1,3] have generalized the famous Ky Fan’s minimax inequality. In this paper, we put forward T-diagonal convexity (concavity) conditions and develop the main results in this respect. Next, we discuss some fixed point problems, and generalize the Fan-Glicksberg’s fixed point theorem^[14].

The lifetime of an artificial satellite moving in the circular orbit under the action of nonuniform rotating atmospheric drag is studied from an energy point of view in this paper. The angular velocity of atmospheric rotation decreases with height according to hydrodynamics. The atmospheric density decreases with height according to the exponential formula. The expression for the lifetime of a satellite in the instantaneous circular orbit in the above-mentioned rotating atmospheric model is derived, and the numerical estimation for the lifetime of a concrete satellite has been made. The result shows clearly that the satellite lifetime calculated by this paper is shorter than that calculated by the uniform rotating atmospheric model.

Numerical analyses of the cold turbulent flow in model combustion chambers were made by using turbulent model. The hybrid difference scheme and SNIP method were employed. Numerical solutions for retouchmenl length and velocity distributions were obtained in the recirculating zone of the combustion chambers. The calculation results were in fairly good agreement with the reported experimental data. The work presented in this paper was a basic part of the calculation model of sudden-enlarged combustion chambers.
