AbstractA generalization of the usual method of similarity analysis of differential equations, the method of partially invariant solutions, was introduced by Ovsiannikov. The degree of non-invariance of these solutions is characterized by the defect of invariance d. We develop an algorithm leading to partially invariant solutions of quasilinear systems of first-order partial differential equations. We apply the algorithm to the non-linear equations of the two-dimensional non-stationary ideal MHD with a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane of motion.

The deviations of a gear’s real tooth surface from the theoretical surface are determined by coordinate measurements at the grid of the surface. A method has been developed to transform the deviations from Cartesian coordinates to those along the normal at the measurement locations. Equations are derived that relate the first order deviations with the adjustment to the manufacturing machine tool settings. The deviations of the entire surface are minimized. The minimization is achieved by application of the least-square method for an overdetermined system of linear equations. The proposed method is illustrated with a numerical example for hypoid gear and pinion.

Abstract The buckling and initial postbuckling behavior of face-sheet delaminations or face-sheet/core debonds is studied by a perturbation procedure. The procedure is based on the nonlinear beam equation with transverse shear included, and an asymptotic expansion of the load and deformation quantities. First the characteristic equation for the critical load is formulated and this is a nonlinear algebraic equation. Subsequently, the first order load is found from a system of linear equations and the initial postbuckling behavior can thus be studied. The procedure can be easily expanded to the higher order terms. The effect of transverse shear is illustrated with results on the critical strain and the initial postbuckling displacement.

In this paper we give a criterion to discriminate the entropy solution to quasi-linear equations of first order among weak solutions. This uniqueness statement is a generalization of Oleinik's criterion, which makes reference to the measure of the increasing character of weak solutions. The link between Oleinik's criterion and the entropy condition due to Kruzhkov is also clarified. An application of this analysis to the convergence of the particle method for conservation laws is also given by using the Filippov characteristics.

The investigations presented in this paper consist of two parts; the first offers a solution, in a certain qualified sense, of the general linear equation in finite differences; and the second will be found to give an almost complete analysis of the resolution in series of the general linear differential equation with rational factors. The second part is deduced directly from the results of the first, although the subjects of which they respectively treat appear to be wholly independent of each other. With the exception of a few cases capable of solution by partial and artificial methods, there does not at present exist any mode of solving linear equations in finite differences of an order higher than the first; and with reference to such equations of the first order, we are obliged to be content with those insufficient forms of functions which are intelligible only when the independent variable is an integer, and which may be obtained directly from the equation itself by merely giving to the independent variable its successive integer values. It is in this insufficient and qualified sense that the solutions here given are to be taken ; and the first part of the following investigations may be considered as an extension of this form of solution from the general equation of the first order to the general equation of the with order.
