The numerical solution of certain integral equations with non-integrable kernels arising in the theory of crack propagation and elastic wave diffraction

An infinite elastic medium is initially at rest in a prestressed state of plane- or anti-plane strain. At time t = 0 a plane crack comes into existence which occupies a strip parallel to the y axis and whose width varies in time. Assuming that the components of the traction are known on the crack surface it is possible to set up an integral equation on the area of the crack for the relative displacement across the crack. Although the kernel of this integral equation is non-integrable a method is found for discretizing it and a numerical method of solution is carried out. The results, which in some cases are the solutions of diffraction problems, are presented graphically.

The system of differential equations of flame propagation is set up and discussed. It is shown that, without any major influences being neglected, the energy equation can be reduced to the form[Formula: see text]with the boundary conditions[Formula: see text]Some qualities of the solutions of this equation are discussed and a simple numerical method of solution is described. The flame velocity V0 is found as an eigenvalue of the energy equation. The temperature distribution in the flame zone can then be found by an ordinary quadrature. Further, an approximation formula for finding V0 directly is derived[Formula: see text]where F(η) is proportional to [Formula: see text]and has a maximum for η = ηm.

A numerical method of solution is presented for the pressure distribution in the uniform air film of a porous thrust bearing in which the top plate is subjected to vertical vibrational motion. From this pressure distribution it is possible to compute the bearing's dynamic characteristics, the knowledge of which is essential for the design of these bearings if unstable operating regions are to be avoided.

In this paper fractional order integral model is set up about quality factor. Complex rectangular and Chebyshev polynomial are utilized to approximate the fractional order integral equation. Moreover, plane wave is used to calculate quality factor-Q. The numerical results show that Chebyshev polynomial approximation is more suitable to describe integral modeling of quality factor.

The paper proposes the numerical method of solution the problems of calculation the stress state in thick-walled cylinders and spheres from physically nonlinear inhomogeneous material. The urgency of solved problem due to the change of mechanical properties of materials under the influence of different physical fields (temperature, humidity, radiation, etc.). The deformation diagram describes the three-parameter formula. The numerical method used the method of successive approximations. The results of numerical calculation are compared with the test analytical solutions obtaining the authors with some restrictions on diagram parameters. The obtained results can be considered quite satisfactory.

A simplified hydrodynamic and economic model is developed to describe the operation of a ship equipped with both sails and engine. In the range of light-to-moderate winds in which use of the engine is likely to be economical, the vessel is described by a characteristic speed, a characteristic fixed-cost rate, and five dimensionless parameters (four hydrodynamic, one economic). The model includes simultaneous optimization of three control variables: sail lift, throttle setting, and course angle; optimal setting of variable draft devices can be included optionally. Although no analytic solutions are attained, the simultaneous equations expressing minimization of cost per mile made good are set up, and a general algorithm is given for numerical solution of these problems. As an illustrative example, numerical values are worked out for the 30,000-dwt square-rigged bulk cargo ship from the 1975 University of Michigan study.
