Numerical investigation of efficiency of UNO- and TVD-modifications of the Godunov method of the second order accuracy for computation of linear waves in an elastic body in comparison with the classical Godunov method is carried out. To this end, one-dimensional cylindrical Riemann problems are considered. It is shown that the both modifications are considerably more accurate in describing radially converging as well as diverging longitudinal and shear waves and contact discontinuities both in one- and two-dimensional problem statements. At that the UNO-modification is more preferable than the TVD-modification because exact implementation of the TVD property in the TVD-modification is reached at the expense of “cutting” solution extrema.

A method to calculate the stress distributions in the elastic body caused by the molecular interactions has been established. The stress distribution was calculated based on the Mindlin’s solution considering the one-dimensional periodic material distribution. The calculation results for a distribution of two materials were presented. The basic characteristics of the stress distribution in the elastic body were quantitatively clarified.

Two-dimensional unsteady problem of elastic body impact on liquid free surface is considered. The water is either of infinite depth or shallow. We are concerned with the effect of the water depth on the bending stresses in the structure caused by the fluid-structure interaction. The Wagner model is used for infinite water depth. In the case of shallow water impact, the hydrodynamic problem is one-dimensional but nonlinear. Both problems for deep and shallow waters are solved numerically by the normal mode method. Two shapes of the body, cylindrical shell and elastic wedge, are considered. The impact conditions and the structural characteristic are identical. The bending stresses in the structure are investigated. It is shown that the bending stresses for impact on shallow water are greater than those for the infinite water depth. The developed methods and approaches can be combined with FFM to include complex structures.

“Dynamical mixing”, i.e. relaxation of a stellar phase space distribution through interaction with the mean gravitational field, is numerically investigated for a one-dimensional self-gravitating stellar gas. Qualitative results are presented in the form of a motion picture of the flow of phase points (representing homogeneous slabs of stars) in two-dimensional phase space.

Recent progress in the electron-mirror microscopy (EMM), e.g., an improvement of its resolving power together with an increase of the magnification makes it useful for investigating the ferroelectric domain physics. English has recently observed the domain texture in the surface layer of BaTiO3. The present authors ) have developed a theory by which one can evaluate small one-dimensional electric fields and/or topographic step heights in the crystal surfaces from their EMM pictures. This theory was applied to a quantitative study of the surface pattern of BaTiO3).

The synaptic connections in cat retina that link photoreceptors to ganglion cells have been analyzed quantitatively. Our approach has been to prepare serial, ultrathin sections and photograph en montage at low magnification (˜2000X) in the electron microscope. Six series, 100-300 sections long, have been prepared over the last decade. They derive from different cats but always from the same region of retina, about one degree from the center of the visual axis. The material has been analyzed by reconstructing adjacent neurons in each array and then identifying systematically the synaptic connections between arrays. Most reconstructions were done manually by tracing the outlines of processes in successive sections onto acetate sheets aligned on a cartoonist's jig. The tracings were then digitized, stacked by computer, and printed with the hidden lines removed. The results have provided rather than the usual one-dimensional account of pathways, a three-dimensional account of circuits. From this has emerged insight into the functional architecture.
