Several analytical, numerical and hybrid methods are being used to solve diffusion and diffusion advection problems. In this work, a closed form solution of the three-dimensional diffusion advection equation in a Cartesian coordinate system is obtained by applying rules, based on the Lie symmetries, to manipulate the exponential of the differential operators that appear in its formal solution. There are many advantages of applying these rules: the increase in processing velocity so that the solution may be obtained in real time, the reduction in the amount of memory required to perform the necessary tasks in order to obtain the solution, since the analytical expressions can be easily manipulated in post-processing and also the discretization of the domain may not be necessary in some cases, avoiding the use of mean values for some parameters involved. These rules yield good results when applied to obtain solutions for problems in fluid mechanics and in quantum mechanics. In order to show the performance of the method, a one-dimensional scenario of the pollutant dispersion in a stable boundary layer is simulated, considering that the horizontal component of the velocity field is dominant and constant, disregarding the other components. The results are compared with data available in the literature.

In this paper, we developed an exact analytical 3D elasticity solution to investigate mechanical behavior of a thick multilayered anisotropic fiber-reinforced pressure vessel subjected to multiple mechanical loadings. This closed-form solution was implemented in a computer program, and analytical results were compared to finite element analysis (FEA) calculations. In order to predict through-thickness stresses accurately, three-dimensional finite element meshes were used in the FEA since shell meshes can only be used to predict in-plane strength. Three-dimensional FEA results are in excellent agreement with the analytical results. Finally, using the proposed analytical approach, we evaluated structural damage and failure conditions of the composite pressure vessel using the Tsai–Wu failure criteria and predicted a maximum burst pressure.

The authors' Poisson probability method for detecting stochastic randomness in three-dimensional space involved the need to evaluate an integral for which no appropriate closed-form solution could be located in standard handbooks. This resulted in a formula specifically calculated to solve this integral in closed form. In this paper the calculation is verified by the method of mathematical induction.

A closed-form solution is proposed for the problem of minimizing a functional consisting of two terms measuring mean-square distances for visually associated characteristic points on an image and meansquare distances for point clouds in terms of a point-to-plane metric. An accurate method for reconstructing three-dimensional dynamic environment is presented, and the properties of closed-form solutions are described. The proposed approach improves the accuracy and convergence of reconstruction methods for complex and large-scale scenes.

This paper proposes a novel solution strategy for Saint-Venant's problem based on Hamilton's formalism. Saint-Venant's problem focuses on helicoidal beams and its solution hinges upon the determination of the subspace of the system's Hamiltonian matrix associated with its null and pure imaginary eigenvalues. A projection approach is proposed that reduces the system Hamiltonian matrix to a matrix of size 12 × 12, whose eigenvalues are identical to the null and purely imaginary eigenvalues of the original system, with the same Jordan structure. A fundamental theoretical result is established: Saint-Venant's solutions exist because rigid-body motions create no strains. Indeed, the solvability conditions for the governing equations of the problem are satisfied because a matrix identity holds, which expresses the fact that rigid-body motions create no strains. Because it avoids the identification of the Jordan structure of the original system, the implementation of the proposed projection for large, realistic problems is straightforward. Closed-form solutions of the reduced problem are found and three-dimensional stress and strain fields can be recovered from the closed-form solution. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the capabilities of the analysis. Predictions are compared to exact solutions of three-dimensional elasticity and three-dimensional FEM analysis.

Backfill is commonly used world-wide in underground mines to improve ground stability and reduce solid waste disposal on the surface. Practical solutions are required to assess the stress state in the backfilled stopes, as the stress state is influenced by the fill settlement that produces a stress transfer to the adjacent rock walls. The majority of existing analytical and numerical solutions for the stresses in backfilled openings were developed for two-dimensional (plane strain) conditions. In reality, mine stopes have a limited extension in the horizontal plane so the stresses are influenced by the four walls. This paper presents recent three-dimensional (3D) simulations results and a new 3D closed-form solution for the vertical and horizontal stresses in inclined backfilled stopes with parallel walls. This solution takes into account the variation of the stresses along the opening width and height, for various inclination angles and fills properties. The numerical results are used to validate the analytical solution and illustrate how the stress state varies along the opening height, length, and width, for different opening sizes and inclination angles of the footwall and hanging wall. Experimental results are also used to assess the validity of the proposed solution.

ABSTRACTA closed-form solution for a macroscopically homogeneous, fully anisotropie layer subject to non-uniform through-thickness eigenstrain is presented, and employed in determining the three-dimensional deformation and stress states of a thermally loaded ceramic film with microstructure-induced macroscopic anisotropy. The resultant stress field is compared with those that could be deduced by experimental determination of the curvature and the classical structural theories.
