В работе рассматривается важная с точки зрения прикладных задач проблема моделирования процессов деформирования материалов со сложным откликом на механические воздействия. Приводятся основные уравнения трехконстантной микроструктурной модели для случая одного полярного директора. Выписана точная форма упругого потенциала, из которой, следуя стандартной схеме, выводятся все необходимые уравнения и граничные условия. The paper deals with the problem of modeling the processes of deformation of materials with a complex response to mechanical stress. The governing equations of the three-constant microstructural model for the case of one polar director are presented. The exact form of the Helmholtz free energy is written out. The governing equations and boundary conditions are derived by the standard scheme.

A special free energy function is defined for a solution in the osmotic equilibrium with pure solvent. The partition function of the solution is derived at the McMillan-Mayer level and it is related to this special function in the same manner as the common partition function of the system to its Helmholtz free energy.

Abstract We revisit the construction in four-dimensional gauged Spin(4) supergravity of the holographic duals to topologically twisted three-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 field theories. Our focus in this paper is to highlight some subtleties related to preserving supersymmetry in AdS/CFT, namely the inclusion of finite counterterms and the necessity of a Legendre transformation to find the dual to the field theory generating functional. Studying the geometry of these supergravity solutions, we conclude that the gravitational free energy is indeed independent from the metric of the boundary, and it vanishes for any smooth solution.

Abstract Free vibrations of rotating cylindrical shells with distributed springs were studied. Based on the Flügge shell theory, the governing equations of rotating cylindrical shells with distributed springs were derived under typical boundary conditions. Multicomponent modal functions were used to satisfy the distributed springs around the circumference. The natural responses were analyzed using the Galerkin method. The effects of parameters, rotation speed, stiffness, and ratios of thickness/radius and length/radius, on natural response were also examined.

A simple modeling method to extend first-principles electronic structure calculations to finite temperatures is presented. The method is applicable to crystalline solids exhibiting complex thermal disorder and employs quasi-harmonic models to represent the vibrational and magnetic free energy contributions. The main outcome is the Helmholtz free energy, calculated as a function of volume and temperature, from which the other related thermophysical properties (such as temperature-dependent lattice and elastic constants) can be derived. Our test calculations for Fe, Ni, Ti, and W metals in the paramagnetic state at temperatures of up to 1600 K show that the predictive capability of the quasi-harmonic modeling approach is mainly limited by the electron density functional approximation used and, in the second place, by the neglect of higher-order anharmonic effects. The developed methodology is equally applicable to disordered alloys and ordered compounds and can therefore be useful in modeling realistically complex materials.

Unified Lyaponov function is given for the first time to prove the learning methodologies convergence of artificial neural network (ANN), both supervised and unsupervised, from the viewpoint of the minimization of the Helmholtz free energy at the constant temperature. Early in 1982, Hopfield has proven the supervised learning by the energy minimization principle. Recently in 1996, Bell & Sejnowski has algorithmically demonstrated. Independent Component Analyses (ICA) generalizing the Principal Component Analyses (PCA) that the continuing reduction of early vision redundancy happens towards the "sparse edge maps" by maximization of the ANN output entropy. We explore the combination of both as Lyaponov function of which the proven convergence gives both learning methodologies. The unification is possible because of the thermodynamics Helmholtz free energy at a constant temperature. The blind de-mixing condition for more than two objects using two sensor measurement. We design two smart cameras with short term working memory to do better image de-mixing of more than two objects. We consider channel communication application that we can efficiently mix four images using matrices [AO] and [Al] to send through two channels.

Bending analysis of thick laminated rectangular plates with various boundary conditions is presented using Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method. Based on the Reissner first order shear deformation theory, the governing equations include a system of eight first order partial differential equations in terms of unknown displacements, forces and moments. Presence of all plate variables in the governing equations provide a simple procedure to satisfy different boundary condition during application of GDQ method to obtain accurate results with relatively small number of grid points even for plates with free edges .Illustrative examples including various combinations of clamped, simply supported and free boundary condition are given to demonstrate the accuracy and convergence of the presented GDQ technique. Results are compared with other analytical and finite element predictions and show reasonably good agreement.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the heat transfer in an arbitrary cavity filled with porous medium. The geometry of the cavity is such that an isothermal heating source is placed centrally at the bottom of the cavity. The height and width of the heating source is varied to analyses its effect on the heat transfer characteristics. The investigation is carried out for three different cases of outer boundary conditions such as two outside vertical walls being maintained at cold temperature To, two vertical and top horizontal surface being heated to. To and the third case with top surface kept at To but other surfaces being adiabatic. Design/methodology/approach Finite element method is used to solve the governing equations. Findings It is observed that the cavity exhibits unique heat transfer behavior as compared to regular cavity. The cases of boundary conditions are found to affect the heat transfer rate in the porous cavity. Originality/value This is original work representing the heat transfer in irregular porous cavity with various boundary conditions. This work is neither being published nor under review in any other journal.

In the present study, an attempt is made to explore the flow field inside the differentially heated lid-driven square cavity. The governing equations along with boundary conditions are solved numerically. The simulated results (100 ≤ Re ≤ 1000 and 0.001 ≤ Ri ≤ 10) are validated with previous results in the literature. The convection differencing schemes, namely, UPWIND, QUICK, SUPERBEE, and SFCD, are discussed and are used to simulate the flow using the MPI code. It is observed that the computational cost for all the differencing schemes get reduced tremendously when the MPI code is implemented. Plots demonstrate the influences of Re and Ri in terms of the contours of the fluid streamlines, isotherms, energy streamlines, and field synergy principle.

The thermodynamic properties of a ferrofluid modeled by a bidisperse system of dipolar hard spheres in the absence of external magnetic field are investigated using theory and simulations. The theory is based on the virial expansion of the Helmholtz free energy in terms of particle volume concentration. Comparison between the theoretical predictions and simulation data shows a great agreement of the results.
