The combined constructions subjected to an action of expanding loads and consisting of separate sections are examined. Each of the mentioned sections has its own rigidity. These parts may be made from the same or from the various materials. The materials can be anisotropic or isotropic, homogeneous or inhomogeneous. The constructions under study have the round scheme and they are considered as circular disks with piecewise thickness. In the places of the separate parts conjugation the disks’ thickness can be discontinuous or continuous. The analytical approach is used. The solutions are obtained in closed form and expressed in terms of Legendre functions, Legendre, Gegenbauer and Laguerre polynomials.

In his treatise, Heine ( Heine 1881 In Theorie und Anwendungen ) gave an identity for the Fourier series of the function , with , and z >1, in terms of associated Legendre functions of the second kind . In this paper, we generalize Heine’s identity for the function , with , and , in terms of . We also compute closed-form expressions for some  .

The main purpose of this paper is to present a novel analytical approach for pricing discretely sampled gamma swaps, defined in terms of weighted variance swaps of the underlying asset, based on Heston’s two-factor stochastic volatility model. The closed-form formula obtained in this paper is in a much simpler form than those proposed in the literature, which substantially reduces the computational burden and can be implemented efficiently. The solution procedure presented in this paper can be adopted to derive closed-form solutions for pricing various types of weighted variance swaps, such as self-quantoed variance and entropy swaps. Most interestingly, we discuss the validity of the current solutions in the parameter space, and provide market practitioners with some remarks for trading these types of weighted variance swaps.

The paper presents an analytical approach to corner-filleted flexure hinges. Closed- form solutions are derived for the in-plane compliance factors. It is demonstrated that the corner-filleted flexure hinge spans a domain delimited by the simple beam and the right circular flexure hinge. A comparison that is made with the right circular flexure hinges indicates that the corner-filleted flexures are more bending-compliant and induce lower stresses but are less precise in rotation. The finite element simulation and experimental results confirmed the model predictions.

This article offers an approach for studying the time-dependent occupancy distribution for a modest generalization of the GI/G/1 queuing system in which interarrival times and service times, although mutually independent, are not necessarily identically distributed. We develop and explore an analytical model leading to a computational approach that gives tight bounds on the occupancy distribution. Although there is no general closed-form characterization of probability law dynamics for occupancy in the GI/G/1 queue, our results offer what might be termed “near-closed-form” in that accurate plots of the transient occupancy distribution can be constructed with an insignificant computational burden. We believe that our results are unique; we are unaware of any alternative analytical approach leading to a numerical characterization of the time-dependent occupancy distribution for the G/G/1 queuing systems considered here.Our analyses employ a marked point process that converges to the occupancy process at any fixed time t; it is shown that this process forms a Markov chain from which the transient occupancy law is available. We verify our analytical approach via comparison with the well-known closed-form expressions for time-dependent occupancy distribution of the M/M/1 queue. Additionally, we suggest the viability of our approach, as a computational means of obtaining the time-dependent occupancy distribution, through straightforward application to a Gamma[x]/Weibull/1 queuing system having batch arrivals and batch job services.

Abstract. An analytical approach to analyze the diffraction of an arbitrarily directed complex-source beam (CSB) by an acoustically soft or hard semi-infinite circular cone is presented. The beam is generated by assigning a complex-valued location to a point source; its waist and direction are defined by the real and imaginary parts of the source coordinate, respectively. The corresponding scalar boundary-value problem is solved by a spherical-multipole analysis. The solution requires the calculation of associated Legendre functions of the first kind for complex-valued arguments which turns out to be a non-trivial task. Beside a numerical analysis of the corresponding algorithms we present numerical results for the total near- and scattered far-fields.

This paper considers point force or point moment loading applied to the surface of a three-dimensional wedge. The wedge is two-dimensional in geometry but the loading may vary in a direction parallel to the wedge apex, thus creating a three-dimensional problem within the realm of linear elasticity. The wedge is homogeneous, isotropic, and the assumption of incompressibility is taken in order for solutions to be obtained. The loading cases considered presently are as follows: point normal loading on the wedge face, point moment loading on the wedge face, and an arbitrarily directed force or moment applied at a point on the apex of the wedge. The solutions given here are closed-form expressions. For point force or point moment loading on the wedge face, the elastic field is given in terms of a single integral containing associated Legendre functions. When the point force or moment is at the wedge tip, closed-form (nonintegral) expressions are obtained in terms of elementary functions. An interesting result of the present research indicates that the wedge paradox in two-dimensional elasticity also exists in the three-dimensional case for a concentrated moment at the wedge apex applied in one direction, but that it does not exist for a moment applied in the other two directions.

Dynamic response of footings and structures supported by piles can be predicted if dynamic stiffness and damping generated by soil–pile interaction can be defined. An approximate analytical approach based on linear elasticity is presented, which makes it possible to establish the dimensionless parameters of the problem and to obtain closed-form formulas for pile stiffness and damping. All components of the motion in a vertical plane are considered; that is, horizontal as well as vertical translations and rotation of the pile head. The stiffness and damping of piles are defined in such a way that the design analysis of footings and structures resting on piles can be conducted in the same way as is applied in the case of shallow foundations.
