The paper presents a method for geometric modelling of a four-dimensional ball. For this, the regularities of the change in the shape of the projections of simple geometric images of two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces during rotation are considered. Rotations of a segment and a circle around an axis are considered; it is shown that during rotation the shape of their projections changes from the maximum value to the degenerate projection. It was found that the set of points of the degenerate projection belongs to the axis of rotation, and each n-dimensional geometric image during rotation forms a body of a higher dimension, that is, one that belongs to (n + 1) -dimensional space. Identified regularities are extended to the four-dimensional space in which the ball is placed. It is shown that the axis of rotation of the ball will be a degenerate projection in the form of a circle, and the ball, when rotating, changes its size from a volumetric object to a flat circle, then increases again, but in the other direction (that is, it turns out), and then in reverse order to its original position. This rotation is more like a deformation, and such a ball of four-dimensional space is a hypersphere. For geometric modelling of the hypersphere and the possibility of its projection image, the article uses the vector model proposed by P.V. Filippov. The coordinate system 0xyzt is defined. The algebraic equation of the hypersphere is given by analogy with the three-dimensional space along certain coordinates of the center a, b, c, d. A variant of hypersection at t = 0 is considered, which confirms by equations obtaining a two-dimensional ball of three-dimensional space, a point (a ball of zero radius), which coincides with the center of the ball, or an imaginary ball. For the variant t = d, the equation of a two-dimensional ball is obtained, in which the radius is equal to R and the coordinates of all points along the 0t axis are equal to d. The variant of hypersection t = k turned out to be interesting, in which the equation of a two-dimensional sphere was obtained, in which the coordinates of all points along the 0t axis are equal to k, and the radius is . Horizontal vector projections of hypersection are constructed for different values of k. It is concluded that the set of horizontal vector projections of hypersections at t = k defines an ellipse.

This paper reports fabric circuit boards (FCBs), a new type of circuit boards, that are three-dimensionally deformable, highly stretchable, durable and washable ideally for wearable electronic applications. Fabricated by using computerized knitting technologies at ambient dry conditions, the resultant knitted FCBs exhibit outstanding electrical stability with less than 1% relative resistance change up to 300% strain in unidirectional tensile test or 150% membrane strain in three-dimensional ball punch test, extraordinary fatigue life of more than 1 000 000 loading cycles at 20% maximum strain, and satisfactory washing capability up to 30 times. To the best of our knowledge, the performance of new FCBs has far exceeded those of previously reported metal-coated elastomeric films or other organic materials in terms of changes in electrical resistance, stretchability, fatigue life and washing capability as well as permeability. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulation illustrate that the structural conversion of knitted fabrics is attributed to the effective mitigation of strain in the conductive metal fibres, hence the outstanding mechanical and electrical properties. Those distinctive features make the FCBs particularly suitable for next-to-skin electronic devices. This paper has further demonstrated the application potential of the knitted FCBs in smart protective apparel for in situ measurement during ballistic impact.

An interface problem derived by a bistable reaction-diffusion system with the spatial average of an activator is studied on ann-dimensional ball. We analyze the existence of the radially symmetric solutions and the occurrence of Hopf bifurcation as a parameter varies in two and three-dimensional spaces.
