We investigate the stability of adaptations of the θ-methods in the numerical solution of test equations u'(t) = a 11 u(t) + a12v(t) + b11 u(t - τ1) + b12v(t-τ2,v'(t) = a21 u(t) + a22 v(t) + b21 u(t -τ1,) + b22 v(t -τ2), t>0,with initial conditionsu(t)=u0(t),v(t) =v0(t), t≤0.where aij, bij∈C, τj >0, i,j = 1,2,, and u0(t), v0(t)are continuous and complex valued. Sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of test equation are derived. Furthermore, with respect to an appropriate definition of stability for the numerical method, it is proved that the linear θ-method is stable if and only if 1/2≤θ≤1 and the one-leg θ-method is stable if and only if θ= 1.展开更多

According to the principle of virtual power, the upper bound solution for surrounding rock pressure of shallow unsymmetrical loading tunnel was derived and verified by an example. The results indicate that the calculated results of the derived upper bound method for surrounding rock pressure of shallow unsymmetrical loading tunnels are relatively close to those of the existing "code method" and test results, which means that the proposed method is feasible. The current code method underestimates the unsymmetrical loading feature of surrounding rock pressure of shallow unsymmetrical loading tunnels, so it is unsafe; when the burial depth is less or greater than two times of the tunnel span and the unsymmetrical loading angle is less than 45°, the upper bound method or the average value of the results calculated by the upper bound method and code method respectively, is comparatively reasonable. When the burial depth is greater than two times of the tunnel span and the unsymmetrical loading angle is greater than 45°, the code method is more suitable.展开更多

Then, a theoretical solution model of transient heat conduction problem in one-dimensional double-layer composite medium was built utilizing the natural eigenfunction expansion method. In order to verify the validity of the model, the results of the above theoretical solution were compared with those of finite element method. The results by the two methods are in a good agreement. The maximum errors by the two methods appear when τ(τ is nondimensional time) equals 0.1 near the boundaries of ζ =1 (ζ is nondimensional space coordinate) and ζ =4. As τ increases, the error decreases gradually, and when τ =5 the results of both solutions have almost no change with the variation of coordinate 4.展开更多

The movement and deformation of ground surface caused by underground water solution mining is believed to be much weaker than that caused by well lane mining, which can be predicted by the stochastic medium theory method. On the basis of analysis on the engineering practice of water solution mining, its corresponding parameters can be obtained from the in-site data of the belt water and sand filling mining in engineering analog approach.展开更多

An analytical method was presented to obtain the temperature, displacement and stress fields in the beam. Firstly, the general solutions of temperature, displacements and stresses for a single-layered simply supported beam were obtained by solving the 2-D heat conduction equation and the 2-D elasticity equations, respectively. Then, based on the continuity of temperature, heat flux, displacements and stresses on the interface of two adjacent layers, the formulae of temperature, displacements and stresses between the lowest layer and the top layer of the beam were derived out in a recurrent manner. Finally, the unknown coefficients in the solutions were determined by the use of the upper surface and lower surface conditions of the beam. The distributions of temperature, displacement and stress in the beam were obtained by substituting these coefficients back to the recurrence formulae and the solutions. The excellent convergence of the present method has been demonstrated and the results obtained by the present method agree well with those from the finite element method. The effects of surface temperatures, thickness, layer number and material properties of the plate on the temperature distribution were discussed in detail. Numerical results reveal that the displacements and stresses monotonically increase with the increase of surface temperatures. In particular, the horizontal stresses are discontinuous at the interface.展开更多

It has been first quantitatively determined by Matano method that the interdiffusion coefficient in A1-Zn fee solid solution containing high Zn contents is remarkably decreased due to the small addition of Cu. Also, the interdiffusion coefficient in A1-Zn fee solid solution clearly increases with the increasing of Zn concentration. The interdiffusion activity energy remarkably decreases with the increasing of Zn contents. On the other hand, the interdiffusion activity energy markedly increases due to the small addition of Cu in the A1 Zn fcc solid solution containing high Zn contents.展开更多
