Analysis of tangential contact boundary value problems using potential functions.

ABSTRACT: This paper presents an analysis technique of high-order contact potential problems and its application to an elastic settlement analysis of a shallow foundation system subjected to a combined traction boundary condition. Closed-form solutions of potential functions are derived for an elastic half-space subjected to bilinear tangential traction boundary conditions over rectangular surface regions. Using the principle of superposition, the present solutions provide a means to form an approximate and continuous solution of elastic contact problems with higher-order tangential boundary conditions. As an application example, an elastic settlement analysis of a rigid footing founded on a dense granular soil is performed under a tangential traction boundary condition prescribed in an analogy with the stress equilibrium states of static sandpiles. A generalized solution approach to combined normal and tangential traction boundary value problems is discussed in the context of foundation engineering.

DeepGreen: deep learning of Green's functions for nonlinear boundary value problems.

Project description:Boundary value problems (BVPs) play a central role in the mathematical analysis of constrained physical systems subjected to external forces. Consequently, BVPs frequently emerge in nearly every engineering discipline and span problem domains including fluid mechanics, electromagnetics, quantum mechanics, and elasticity. The fundamental solution, or Green's function, is a leading method for solving linear BVPs that enables facile computation of new solutions to systems under any external forcing. However, fundamental Green's function solutions for nonlinear BVPs are not feasible since linear superposition no longer holds. In this work, we propose a flexible deep learning approach to solve nonlinear BVPs using a dual-autoencoder architecture. The autoencoders discover an invertible coordinate transform that linearizes the nonlinear BVP and identifies both a linear operator L and Green's function G which can be used to solve new nonlinear BVPs. We find that the method succeeds on a variety of nonlinear systems including nonlinear Helmholtz and Sturm-Liouville problems, nonlinear elasticity, and a 2D nonlinear Poisson equation and can solve nonlinear BVPs at orders of magnitude faster than traditional methods without the need for an initial guess. The method merges the strengths of the universal approximation capabilities of deep learning with the physics knowledge of Green's functions to yield a flexible tool for identifying fundamental solutions to a variety of nonlinear systems.

About positivity of green's functions for nonlocal boundary value problems with impulsive delay equations.

Project description:The impulsive delay differential equation is considered (Lx)(t) = x'(t) + ∑(i=1)(m) p(i)(t)x(t - τ(i) (t)) = f(t), t ∈ [a, b], x(t j) = β(j)x(t(j - 0)), j = 1,…, k, a = t0 < t1 < t2 < ⋯<t k < t k+1 = b, x(ζ) = 0, ζ ∉ [a, b], with nonlocal boundary condition lx = ∫(a)(b) φ(s)x'(s)ds + θx(a) = c, φ ∈ L ∞ [a, b]; θ, c ∈ R. Various results on existence and uniqueness of solutions and on positivity/negativity of the Green's functions for this equation are obtained.

Initial boundary-value problem for the spherically symmetric Einstein equations with fluids with tangential pressure.

Project description:We prove that, for a given spherically symmetric fluid distribution with tangential pressure on an initial space-like hypersurface with a time-like boundary, there exists a unique, local in time solution to the Einstein equations in a neighbourhood of the boundary. As an application, we consider a particular elastic fluid interior matched to a vacuum exterior.

Nonlinear two-point boundary value problems: applications to a cholera epidemic model.

Project description:This paper is concerned primarily with constructive mathematical analysis of a general system of nonlinear two-point boundary value problem when an empirically constructed candidate for an approximate solution (quasi-solution) satisfies verifiable conditions. A local analysis in a neighbour- hood of a quasi-solution assures the existence and uniqueness of solutions and, at the same time, provides error bounds for approximate solutions. Applying this method to a cholera epidemic model, we obtain an analytical approximation of the steady-state solution with rigorous error bounds that also displays dependence on a parameter. In connection with this epidemic model, we also analyse the basic reproduction number, an important threshold quantity in the epidemiology context. Through a complex analytic approach, we determine the principal eigenvalue to be real and positive in a range of parameter values.

Universal natural shapes: from unifying shape description to simple methods for shape analysis and boundary value problems.

Project description:Gielis curves and surfaces can describe a wide range of natural shapes and they have been used in various studies in biology and physics as descriptive tool. This has stimulated the generalization of widely used computational methods. Here we show that proper normalization of the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm allows for efficient and robust reconstruction of Gielis curves, including self-intersecting and asymmetric curves, without increasing the overall complexity of the algorithm. Then, we show how complex curves of k-type can be constructed and how solutions to the Dirichlet problem for the Laplace equation on these complex domains can be derived using a semi-Fourier method. In all three methods, descriptive and computational power and efficiency is obtained in a surprisingly simple way.

Fixed point results for G-α-contractive maps with application to boundary value problems.

Project description:We unify the concepts of G-metric, metric-like, and b-metric to define new notion of generalized b-metric-like space and discuss its topological and structural properties. In addition, certain fixed point theorems for two classes of G-α -admissible contractive mappings in such spaces are obtained and some new fixed point results are derived in corresponding partially ordered space. Moreover, some examples and an application to the existence of a solution for the first-order periodic boundary value problem are provided here to illustrate the usability of the obtained results.

Multiple positive solutions to nonlinear boundary value problems of a system for fractional differential equations.

Project description:By using Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem, we study the existence of at least one or two positive solutions to a system of fractional boundary value problems given by -D(0+)(ν1)y1(t) = λ1a1(t)f(y1(t), y2(t)), - D(0+)(ν2)y2(t) = λ2a2(t)g(y1(t), y2(t)), where D(0+)(ν) is the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative, ν1, ν2 ∈ (n - 1, n] for n > 3 and n ∈ N, subject to the boundary conditions y1((i))(0) = 0 = y ((i))(0), for 0 ≤ i ≤ n - 2, and [D(0+)(α)y1(t)] t=1 = 0 = [D(0+ (α)y2(t)] t=1, for 1 ≤ α ≤ n - 2, or y1((i))(0) = 0 = y ((i))(0), for 0 ≤ i ≤ n - 2, and [D(0+)(α)y1(t)] t=1 = ϕ1(y1), [D(0+)(α)y2(t)] t=1 = ϕ2(y2), for 1 ≤ α ≤ n - 2, ϕ1, ϕ2 ∈ C([0,1], R). Our results are new and complement previously known results. As an application, we also give an example to demonstrate our result.

Electrically induced transformations of defects in cholesteric layer with tangential-conical boundary conditions.

Project description:Electric-field-induced changes of the orientational structures of cholesteric liquid crystal layer with the tangential-conical boundary conditions have been investigated. The samples with the ratio of the cholesteric layer thickness d to the helix pitch p equalled to 0.57 have been considered. The perpendicularly applied electric field causes a decrease of the azimuthal director angle at the substrate with the conical surface anchoring. In the cells with d = 22 μm, the defect loops having the under-twisted and over-twisted areas are formed. At the defect loop the pair of point peculiarities is observed where the 180° jump of azimuthal angle of the director occurs. Under the action of electric field the loops shrink and disappear. In the cells with d = 13 μm, the over-twisted and under-twisted defect lines are formed. Applied voltage results in the shortening of lines or/and their transformation into a defect of the third type. The director field distribution near defect lines of three types has been investigated by the polarising microscopy techniques. It has been revealed that the length ratio between the over-twisted and third-type defect lines can be controlled by the electric field.

Linel2D-Net: A deep learning approach to solving 2D linear elastic boundary value problems on image domains.

Project description:Efficient solution of physical boundary value problems (BVPs) remains a challenging task demanded in many applications. Conventional numerical methods require time-consuming domain discretization and solving techniques that have limited throughput capabilities. Here, we present an efficient data-driven DNN approach to non-iterative solving arbitrary 2D linear elastic BVPs. Our results show that a U-Net-based surrogate model trained on a representative set of reference FDM solutions can accurately emulate linear elastic material behavior with manifold applications in deformable modeling and simulation.

Properties of translation operator and the solution of the eigenvalue and boundary value problems of arbitrary space-time periodic metamaterials.

Project description:There is a recent interest in understanding and exploiting the intriguing properties of space-time metamaterials. In the current manuscript, the time periodic circuit theory is exploited to introduce an appropriate translation operator that fully describes arbitrary space-time metamaterials. It is shown that the underlying mathematical machinery is identical to the one used in the analysis of linear time invariant periodic structures, where time and space eigen-decompositions are successively employed. We prove some useful properties the translation operator exhibits. The wave propagation inside the space time periodic metamaterial and the terminal characteristics can be rigorously determined via the expansion in the operators eigenvectors (space-time Bloch waves). Two examples are provided that demonstrate how to apply the framework. In the first, a space time modulated composite right left handed transmission line is studied and results are verified via time domain computations. Furthermore, we apply the theory to explain the non-reciprocal behaviour observed on a nonlinear transmission line manufactured in our lab. Bloch-waves are computed from the extracted circuit parameters. Results predicted using the developed machinery agree with both measurements and time domain analysis. Although the analysis was carried out for electric circuits, the approach is valid for different domains such as acoustic and elastic media.
