SynopsisWe study the nonlinear stability of discontinuous steady states of a model initial-boundary value problem in one space dimension for incompressible, isothermal shear flow of a non-Newtonian fluid driven by a constant pressure gradient. The non-Newtonian contribution to the shear stress is assumed to satisfy a simple differential constitutive law. The key feature is a non-monotone relation between the total steady shear stress and shear strain-rate that results in steady states having, in general, discontinuities in the strain rate. We show that every solution tends to a steady state as t → ∞, and we identify steady states that are stable.

By specialization to the continuum problem of a general formulation of the initial/boundary value problem for every nonpotential operator (Tonti, 1984) and by virtue of a suitable choice of the “integrating operator,” a comprehensive energy formulation is established. Referring to the small strain and displacement case in the presence of any inelastic generally nonlinear constitutive law, provided that it is differentiable, this formulation allows us to derive extensions of well-known principles of elasticity (Hu-Washizu, Hellinger-Reissner, total potential energy, and complementary energy). An illustrative example is given. Peculiar properties of the formulation are the energy characterization of the functional and the use of Green functions of the same problem in the elastic range for every inelastic, generally nonlinear material considered.

Non-Newtonian fluid is a kind of fluid that its shear stress is not always keeps a linear relationship with the shear strain rate. An overview of its applications was made here. Based on the special rheological properties, non-Newtonian fluids are divided into different types and used as additives, mediums and protective materials in many fields. The paper focuses on its applications in fluid rheological properties improving, damping devices, individual protection equipments and mechanical processing. The main achievements in application of the non-Newtonian fluid were introduced and a further prospect was also summarized.

AbstractThis study deals with the numerical implementation of a formula in the enclosure method as applied to a prototype inverse initial boundary value problem for thermal imaging in a one-space dimension. A precise error estimate of the formula is given and the effect on the discretization of the used integral of the measured data in the formula is studied. The formula requires a large frequency to converge; however, the number of time interval divisions grows exponentially as the frequency increases. Therefore, for a given number of divisions, we fixed the trusted frequency region of convergence with some given error bound. The trusted frequency region is computed theoretically using the theorems provided in this paper and is numerically implemented for various cases.

This work surveys a broad range of related issues in quasistatic elastoplasticity, beginning with a development of an internal variable constitutive theory. The initial-boundary value problem is then considered, and the remainder of the work is concerned with the properties of the time-discrete problem. It is shown how this discrete problem has associated with it a holonomic constitutive law (that is, one relating stress to strain or strain increment), and this holonomic law in turn forms the basis of a solution algorithm. Conditions for the convergence of the algorithm are discussed. The entire treatment applies to the spatially continuous problem.

SynopsisThe interior initial-boundary value problem for the wave equation in m ≧ 1 space dimension is considered for vanishing boundary values. Certain regularity, dependent on m, is required for the solution and additionalboundary conditions, the number of which being also dependent on m, are imposed on the given right hand side. Emphazising the case m = 3, the Rothe method is applied after the problem has been rewritten as a hyperbolic first order evolution problem for m + 1 unknown functions. The sequence of discrete solutions obtained is shown to be discretely convergent to the continuous solution in the sense of uniform convergence if the solution of the continuous problem is assumed to exist. A priori estimates are derived both for the discrete solutions and the continuous solution.

AbstractWe study the initial boundary value problem of a compressible non-Newtonian fluid. The system describes the motion of the compressible viscous isentropic gas flow driven by the non-Newtonian self-gravitational force. The existence of strong solutions are derived in one dimensional bounded intervals by constructing a semi-discrete Galerkin scheme. Moreover, the uniqueness of solutions are also investigated. The main point of the study is that the viscosity term and potential term are fully nonlinear, and the initial vacuum is allowed.

Abstract In this paper we consider the first initial boundary-value problem for the heat equation with variable coefficients in a domain (0; 1)x(0; 1)x(0; T]. We assume that the solution of the problem and the coefficients of the equation belong to the corresponding anisotropic Sobolev spaces. Convergence rate estimate which is consistent with the smoothness of the data is obtained.

The paper studies a problem with initial functions and boundary conditions for partial differential partial equations of fractional order in partial derivatives with a delayed time argument, with degree Laplace operators with spatial variables and nonlocal boundary conditions in Sobolev classes. The solution of the initial boundary-value problem is constructed as the series’ sum in the eigenfunction system of the multidimensional spectral problem. The eigenvalues are found for the spectral problem and the corresponding system of eigenfunctions is constructed. It is shown that the system of eigenfunctions is complete and forms a Riesz basis in the Sobolev subspace. Based on the completeness of the eigenfunctions system the uniqueness theorem for solving the problem is proved. In the Sobolev subspaces the existence of a regular solution to the stated initial-boundary problem is proved.
