AbstractIn this paper we estimate an unknown space-time dependent force being exerted on the vibrating Euler–Bernoulli beam under different boundary supports, which is obtained with the help of measured boundary forces as additional conditions. A sequence of spatial boundary functions is derived, and all the boundary functions and the zero element constitute a linear space. A work boundary functional is coined in the linear space, of which the work is approximately preserved for each work boundary function. The linear system used to recover the unknown force with the work boundary functions as the bases is derived and the iterative algorithm is developed, which converges very fast at each time step. The accuracy and robustness of the boundary functional method (BFM) are confirmed by comparing the estimated forces under large noise with the exact forces. We also recover the unknown force on the damped vibrating Euler–Bernoulli beam equation.

Paper forming is the first step in the paper machine where a fiber suspension leaves the headbox and flows through a forming fabric. Complex physical phenomena occur as the paper forms, during which fibers, fillers, fines, and chemicals added to the suspension interact. Understanding this process is important for the development of improved paper products because the configuration of the fibers during this step greatly influences the final paper quality. Because the effective paper properties depend on the microstructure of the fiber web, a continuum model is inadequate to explain the process and the properties of each fiber need to be accounted for in simulations. This study describes a new framework for microstructure simulation of early paper forming. The simulation framework includes a Navier-Stokes solver and immersed boundary methods to resolve the flow around the fibers. The fibers were modeled with a finite element discretization of the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation in a co-rotational formulation. The contact model is based on a penalty method and includes friction and elastic and inelastic collisions. We validated the fiber model and the contact model against demanding test cases from the literature, with excellent results. The fluid-structure interaction in the model was examined by simulating an elastic beam oscillating in a cross flow. We also simulated early paper formation to demonstrate the potential of the proposed framework.

Abstract Our main concern in this article is to investigate the existence of solution for the boundary-value problem $$\begin{aligned}& (\phi \bigl(x'(t)\bigr)'=g_{1} \bigl(t,x(t),x'(t)\bigr),\quad \forall t\in [0,1], \\& \Upsilon _{1}\bigl(x(0),x(1),x'(0)\bigr)=0, \\& \Upsilon _{2}\bigl(x(0),x(1),x'(1)\bigr)=0, \end{aligned}$$ ( ϕ ( x ′ ( t ) ) ′ = g 1 ( t , x ( t ) , x ′ ( t ) ) , ∀ t ∈ [ 0 , 1 ] , ϒ 1 ( x ( 0 ) , x ( 1 ) , x ′ ( 0 ) ) = 0 , ϒ 2 ( x ( 0 ) , x ( 1 ) , x ′ ( 1 ) ) = 0 , where $g_{1}:[0,1]\times \mathbb{R}^{2}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ g 1 : [ 0 , 1 ] × R 2 → R is an $L^{1}$ L 1 -Carathéodory function, $\Upsilon _{i}:\mathbb{R}^{3}\rightarrow \mathbb{R} $ ϒ i : R 3 → R are continuous functions, $i=1,2$ i = 1 , 2 , and $\phi :(-a,a)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ ϕ : ( − a , a ) → R is an increasing homeomorphism such that $\phi (0)=0$ ϕ ( 0 ) = 0 , for $0< a< \infty $ 0 < a < ∞ . We obtain the solvability results by imposing some new conditions on the boundary functions. The new conditions allow us to ensure the existence of at least one solution in the sector defined by well ordered functions. These ordered functions do not require one to check the definitions of lower and upper solutions. Moreover, the monotonicity assumptions on the arguments of boundary functions are not required in our case. An application is considered to ensure the applicability of our results.

This work is devoted to the following nonlocal extensible beam equation with time delay: [Formula: see text] on a bounded smooth domain [Formula: see text]. The main purpose of this paper is to consider the long-time dynamics of the system. Under suitable assumptions, the quasi-stability property of the system is established, based on which the existence and regularity of a finite-dimensional compact global attractor are obtained. Moreover, the existence of exponential attractors is proved.

In this paper, numerical simulation of sound field with short focal length is performed, which is based on spheroidal beam equation (SBE) in frequency-domain for transducer with a wide aperture angle. And we made some experiments on vitro bovine liver to explore the characteristic of sound pressure and-3dB sound focal region at different positions of incident interface. It is found that with a fixed curvature radius if the focal length is shorter under the skin, the amplitude of sound pressure will be higher on the focus and the shape of-3dB sound focal region will be smaller. When the incident interface is in the range of planar wave, nonlinear effect is strong and the focus will change with the interface position. Especially when the position is near to transition location between planar wave and spheroidal wave, the nonlinear effect is lowered. While the focus is closer to the sound source so as to burn the scarfskin easily. When the interface is in the range of spheroidal wave, the focus position changes little but the side lobe effect due to refraction is obvious. And the focusing performance of transducer will be affected. The experimental results validate the accuracy of theoretical results. It is concluded that the position of incident interface should be selected reasonably with short focal length in the treatment of superficial tissue.

In this paper, we look for non-uniform Rayleigh beams isospectral to a given uniform Rayleigh beam. Isospectral systems are those that have the same spectral properties, i.e. the same free vibration natural frequencies for a given boundary condition. A transformation is proposed that converts the fourth-order governing differential equation of non-uniform Rayleigh beam into a uniform Rayleigh beam. If the coefficients of the transformed equation match with those of the uniform beam equation, then the non-uniform beam is isospectral to the given uniform beam. The boundary-condition configuration should be preserved under this transformation. We present the constraints under which the boundary configurations will remain unchanged. Frequency equivalence of the non-uniform beams and the uniform beam is confirmed by the finite-element method. For the considered cases, examples of beams having a rectangular cross section are presented to show the application of our analysis.
