This article deals with the interaction between wave effects in mounts and resonances of foundations inflexible vibration isolation systems. A new model is proposed that is represented as a rigid mass supported by two linear unidirectional isolators on a flexible foundation beam, whose closed-form solutions for transmissibility and response ratio are then obtained, with which the influence of wave effects coupled with the flexibility of the foundation on the effectiveness of isolation is discussed. The wave effects on flexible isolation systems are analyzed under various parametric conditions and compared with those in rigid systems. In addition, several special cases are presented to show the transition between various limiting cases. Some approaches to control wave effects are also proposed.

Mixed convection Darcy flow in a vertical porous annulus around a straight electric cable is investigated. It is assumed that the flow is fully developed and parallel. Moreover, the Boussinesq approximation is used. The magnetic field with a steady electric current in the cable is radially varying according to the Biot–Savart law. Two flow regimes are investigated. The first is mixed convection with negligible effects of internal heat generation due to Joule heating and viscous dissipation. The second is forced convection with important effects of heat generation. In these two special cases, closed form expressions of the velocity profile and of the temperature profile, as well as of the flow rate and the Nusselt number, are obtained. The main features of these solutions are discussed.

The peculiar properties of shape-memory alloys are the result of a solid/solid phase transformation between different crystallographic structures (austenite and martensite). This paper is concerned with the theoretical prediction of the set of strains that minimize the effective (or macroscopic) energy. Those strains, classically refered to as recoverable strains, play a central role in shape memory effect displayed by alloys such as NiTi or CuAlNi. They correspond to macroscopic strains that can be achieved in stress-free states. Adopting the framework of nonlinear elasticity, the theoretical prediction of stress-free strains amounts to find the austenite/martensite microstructures which minimize the global energy. Closed-form solutions to that problem have been obtained only in few special cases. This paper aims at complementing existing results on that problem, essentially by deriving bounds on the set of stress-free strains.

This paper presents a general solution for a thin ring under a self-equilibrating loading system comprising any combination of radial, tangential, and moment loads. The formulations are applicable to concentrated loads as well as to distributed load functions. Closed-form solutions are obtained for each case for engineering applications. Comparisons with recent published results for some special cases are demonstrated in some of the sample problems.

AbstractGaussian distributions are plentiful in applications dealing in uncertainty quantification and diffusivity. They furthermore stand as important special cases for frameworks providing geometries for probability measures, as the resulting geometry on Gaussians is often expressible in closed-form under the frameworks. In this work, we study the Gaussian geometry under the entropy-regularized 2-Wasserstein distance, by providing closed-form solutions for the distance and interpolations between elements. Furthermore, we provide a fixed-point characterization of a population barycenter when restricted to the manifold of Gaussians, which allows computations through the fixed-point iteration algorithm. As a consequence, the results yield closed-form expressions for the 2-Sinkhorn divergence. As the geometries change by varying the regularization magnitude, we study the limiting cases of vanishing and infinite magnitudes, reconfirming well-known results on the limits of the Sinkhorn divergence. Finally, we illustrate the resulting geometries with a numerical study.

The theoretical development of the acceptance integral method to estimate the random vibration of structures subject to turbulent flow is critically reviewed and put onto a firm mathematical basis. Closed-form solutions for the joint acceptances for cross-flow-induced vibration of one-dimensional structures are derived for two special cases of spring-supported and simply supported beams. These are used to check results from a finite element formulation of the acceptance integrals for one-dimensional structures with arbitrary boundary conditions, and for arbitrary correlation lengths. Agreements between the finite element and closed-form solutions are excellent. [S0094-9930(00)02303-9]

Most closed form solutions of Reynolds’ equation assume either a short bearing approximation or a long bearing approximation. These closed form approximations are used in rotordynamic simulation applications, otherwise a Finite Difference solution of Reynolds’ equation would be prohibitively time consuming. Recently, there have been proposed series solutions for Reynolds’ equation for special cases. In this paper, a perturbation solution to the governing equations is proposed to obtain a closed form solution of Reynolds’ equation for a finite squeeze film damper executing a circular centered orbit. The pressure field and velocity profiles are obtained. It is shown that in the limit the finite damper solution approaches either the appropriate short or long damper. This perturbation solution can be used with appropriate boundary conditions, for various damper sealing configurations, and provides insight into the damper performance.

Abstract We investigate competitive equilibria in a special type of incomplete markets, referred to as a comonotone market, where agents can only trade such that their risk allocation is comonotonic. The comonotone market is motivated by the no-sabotage condition. For instance, in a standard insurance market, the allocation of risk among the insured, the insurer and the reinsurers is assumed to be comonotonic a priori to the risk-exchange. Two popular classes of preferences in risk management and behavioral economics, dual utilities (DU) and rank-dependent expected utilities (RDU), are used to formulate agents’ objectives. We present various results on properties and characterization of competitive equilibria in this framework, and in particular their relation to complete markets. For DU-comonotone markets, we find the equilibrium in closed form and for RDU-comonotone markets, we find the equilibrium in closed form in special cases. The fundamental theorems of welfare economics are established in both the DU and RDU markets. We further propose an algorithm to numerically obtain competitive equilibria based on discretization, which works for both the DU-comonotone market and the RDU-comonotone market. Although the comonotone and complete markets are closely related, many of our findings are intriguing and in sharp contrast to results in the literature on complete markets in terms of existence, uniqueness, and closed-form solutions of the equilibria, and comonotonicity of the pricing kernel.

This paper considers the determination of the coefficients in two sets of triple trigonometrical series and shows that these can be obtained in closed form. The series considered are special cases of some triple series in Jacobi polynomials studied by K. N. Srivastava [1]. Srivastava, however, shows that the problem for the more general series can be reduced to the solution of a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind and he does not discuss special cases which may lead to closed form solutions.
