A system of nearest-neighbor interaction on a one-dimensional lattice is investigated, which has a quasi-stationary (and position-dependent) temperature profile. The rates of heat transfer and entropy change, as well as the diffusion equation for the temperature are studied. A q-state Potts model, and its special case, a two-state Ising model, are considered as an example.

We consider a one-dimensional lattice with diffusive nearest neighbor interaction, a dissipative nonlinear reaction term and additive independent white noise at each node. We prove the existence of a compact global random attractor within the set of tempered random bounded sets. An interesting feature of this is that, even though the spatial domain is unbounded and the solution operator is not smoothing or compact, pulled back bounded sets of initial data converge under the forward flow to a random compact invariant set.

Abstract Sun and Ma (J. Differ. Equ. 255:2534–2563, 2013) proved the existence of a nonzero T-periodic solution for a class of one-dimensional lattice dynamical systems, $$\begin{aligned} \ddot{q_{i}}=\varPhi _{i-1}'(q_{i-1}-q_{i})- \varPhi _{i}'(q_{i}-q_{i+1}),\quad i\in \mathbb{Z}, \end{aligned}$$ q i ¨ = Φ i − 1 ′ ( q i − 1 − q i ) − Φ i ′ ( q i − q i + 1 ) , i ∈ Z , where $q_{i}$ q i denotes the co-ordinate of the ith particle and $\varPhi _{i}$ Φ i denotes the potential of the interaction between the ith and the $(i+1)$ ( i + 1 ) th particle. We extend their results to the case of the least energy of nonzero T-periodic solution under general conditions. Of particular interest is a new and quite general approach. To the best of our knowledge, there is no result for the ground states for one-dimensional lattice dynamical systems.

This paper describes an integrated laboratory project between separate heat transfer and machine design courses. The project was structured around a Jominy end quench hardenability test. Most of the students participating were simultaneously enrolled in both classes. In the heat transfer class, students were required to model one-dimensional, transient thermal conduction for an end quench geometry of 4140 steel. In machine design, students applied their theoretical temperature profiles to a continuous cooling transformation curve (CCT) of 4140 steel to predict microstructure and matched the theoretical cooling rates with hardenability curves from literature to predict hardness. In laboratory, students then performed an end quench test in accordance with ASTM A255 on four steel rods. By combining activities across the two courses, students developed an appreciation for the interconnectivity of material within the engineering curriculum, and learned that practical applications typically require they employ knowledge from a variety of sources.
