We study the Cauchy problem associated with the equations governing a fluid loaded plate formulated on either the line or the half-line. We show that in both cases the problem can be solved by employing the unified approach to boundary value problems introduced by on of the authors in the late 1990s. The problem on the full line was analysed by Crighton et. al. using a combination of Laplace and Fourier transforms. The new approach avoids the technical difficulty of the a priori assumption that the amplitude of the plate is in $L^1_{dt}(R^+)$ and furthermore yields a simpler solution representation which immediately implies the problem is well-posed. For the problem on the half-line, a similar analysis yields a solution representation, but this formula involves two unknown functions. The main difficulty with the half-line problem is the characterisation of these two functions. By employing the so-called global relation, we show that the two functions can be obtained via the solution of a complex valued integral equation of the convolution type. This equation can be solved in closed form using the Laplace transform. By prescribing the initial data $eta_0$ to be in $H^3(R^+)$, we show that the solution depends continuously on the initial data, and hence, the problem is well-posed.
In this paper, we consider a Keller-Segel type fluid model, which is a kind of Euler-Poisson system with a self-gravitational force. We show that similar to the parabolic case, there is a critical mass $8pi$ such that if the initial total mass $M$ is supercritical, i.e., $M> 8pi$, then any weak entropy solution with the same mass $M$ must blow up in finite time. The a priori estimates of weak entropy solutions for critical mass $M=8pi$ and subcritical mass $M<8pi$ are also obtained.
In this paper, a deep collocation method (DCM) for thin plate bending problems is proposed. This method takes advantage of computational graphs and backpropagation algorithms involved in deep learning. Besides, the proposed DCM is based on a feedforward deep neural network (DNN) and differs from most previous applications of deep learning for mechanical problems. First, batches of randomly distributed collocation points are initially generated inside the domain and along the boundaries. A loss function is built with the aim that the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) of Kirchhoff plate bending problems, and the boundary/initial conditions are minimised at those collocation points. A combination of optimizers is adopted in the backpropagation process to minimize the loss function so as to obtain the optimal hyperparameters. In Kirchhoff plate bending problems, the C1 continuity requirement poses significant difficulties in traditional mesh-based methods. This can be solved by the proposed DCM, which uses a deep neural network to approximate the continuous transversal deflection, and is proved to be suitable to the bending analysis of Kirchhoff plate of various geometries.
In this article we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions, in sense of global pullback attractors, of the evolution system $$ begin{cases} u_{tt} +etaDelta^2 u+a(t)Deltatheta=f(t,u), & t>tau, xinOmega, theta_t-kappaDelta theta-a(t)Delta u_t=0, & t>tau, xinOmega, end{cases} $$ subject to boundary conditions $$ u=Delta u=theta=0, t>tau, xinpartialOmega, $$ where $Omega$ is a bounded domain in $mathbb{R}^N$ with $Ngeqslant 2$, which boundary $partialOmega$ is assumed to be a $mathcal{C}^4$-hypersurface, $eta>0$ and $kappa>0$ are constants, $a$ is an Holder continuous function, $f$ is a dissipative nonlinearity locally Lipschitz in the second variable.
A novel design of Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs), using only a single resistive plate, is being proposed. Based on this design, two large size prototype chambers were constructed and were tested with cosmic rays and in particle beams. The tests confirmed the viability of this new approach. In addition to showing an improved single-particle response compared to the traditional 2-plate design, the novel chambers also prove to be suitable for calorimetric applications.
In this paper, the growth-induced bending deformation of a thin hyperelastic plate is studied. For a plane-strain problem, the governing PDE system is formulated, which is composed of the mechanical equilibrium equations, the constraint equation and the boundary conditions. By adopting a gradient growth field with the growth value changes linearly along the thickness direction, the exact solution to the governing PDE system can be derived. With the obtained solution, some important features of the bending deformation in the plate can be found and the effects of the different growth parameters can be revealed. This exact solution can serve as a benchmark one for testing the correctness of numerical schemes and approximate plate models in growth theory.
