The well-known developments in elastostatics concerning the equi-stressness criterion of optimality for two-dimensional multi-connected unbounded solids under the bulk-dominating load are generalized toward the transient three-dimensional case with rotational symmetry. This paper advances our previous work by focusing specifically on explicitly identifying the optimal equi-stress surfaces through a simple regular integral equation which involves the single-layer potential kernel associated with the axially symmetric Laplacian. Its two-dimensional analogue is also obtained as a competitive counterpart to the commonly used complex-variable formalism. In both cases, the equations are reformulated as a minimization problem, solved numerically with a standard genetic algorithm over a wide variety of governing parameters thus permitting comparison of the shape optimization results in spatial and plane elasticity for multi-connected domains.

In [7] Plemelj established some fundamental results in two- and three-dimensional potential theory about the eigenvalues of both the double layer potential operator and its adjoint, the normal derivative of the single layer potential operator. In [3] Blumenfeld and Mayer established some additional results concerning the eigenvalues of these integral operators in the case of ℝ2. The spectral properties established by Plemelj [7] and by Blumenfeld and Mayer [3] have had a profound effect in the area of integral equation methods in scattering and potential theory in both ℝ2 and ℝ3.

AbstractIn contrast to hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, there has been reported no specific pattern of cardiomyocyte array in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), partially because lack of alignment assessment in a three-dimensional (3D) manner. Here we have established a novel method to evaluate cardiomyocyte alignment in 3D using intravital heart imaging and demonstrated homogeneous alignment in DCM mice. Whilst cardiomyocytes of control mice changed their alignment by every layer in 3D and position twistedly even in a single layer, termed myocyte twist, cardiomyocytes of DCM mice aligned homogeneously both in two-dimensional (2D) and in 3D and lost myocyte twist. Manipulation of cultured cardiomyocyte toward homogeneously aligned increased their contractility, suggesting that homogeneous alignment in DCM mice is due to a sort of alignment remodelling as a way to compensate cardiac dysfunction. Our findings provide the first intravital evidence of cardiomyocyte alignment and will bring new insights into understanding the mechanism of heart failure.

We have studied the behaviour of a charged particle in an axially symmetric magnetic field having a neutral point, so as to find a possibility of confining a charged particle in a thermonuclear device. In order to study the motion we have reduced a three-dimensional motion to a two-dimensional one by introducing a fictitious potential. Following Schmidt we have classified the motion, as an ‘off-axis motion’ and ‘encircling motion’ depending on the behaviour of this potential. We see that the particle performs a hybrid type of motion in the negative z-axis, i.e. at some instant it is in ‘off-axis motion’ while at another instant it is in ‘encircling motion’. We have also solved the equation of motion numerically and the graphs of the particle trajectory verify our analysis. We find that in most of the cases the particle is contained. The magnetic moment is found to be moderately adiabatic.

The scattering from roughly meter-sized targets, such as pipes, cylinders and unexploded ordnance shells in the 1–30 kHz frequency band is studied by numerical simulations and compared to experimental results. The numerical tool used to compute the frequency and aspect-dependent target strength is a hybrid model, consisting of a local finite-element model for the vicinity of the target, based on the decomposition of the three-dimensional scattering problem for axially symmetric objects into a series of independent two-dimensional problems, and a propagation model based on the wavenumber spectral integral representation of the Green's functions for layered media.

Boundary Velocity

The force and torque on a particle that translates, rotates, or is held stationary in an incident flow within a channel with parallel-sided walls, are considered in the limit of Stokes flow. Assuming that the particle has an axisymmetric shape with axis perpendicular to the channel walls, the problem is formulated in terms of a boundary integral equation that is capable of describing arbitrary three-dimensional Stokes flow in an axisymmetric domain. The method involves: (a) representing the flow in terms of a single-layer potential that is defined over the physical boundaries of the flow as well as other external surfaces, (b) decomposing the polar cylindrical components of the velocity, boundary surface force, and single-layer potential in complex Fourier series, and (c) collecting same-order Fourier coefficients to obtain a system of one-dimensional Fredholm integral equations of the first kind for the coefficients of the surface force over the traces of the natural boundaries of the flow in an azimuthal plane. In the particular case where the polar cylindrical components of the boundary velocity exhibit a first harmonic dependence on the azimuthal angle, we obtain a reduced system of three real integral equations. A numerical method of solution that is based on a standard boundary element-collocation procedure is developed and tested. For channel flow, the effect of domain truncation on the nature of the far flow is investigated with reference to plane Hagen–Poiseuille flow past a cylindrical post. Numerical results are presented for the force and torque exerted on a family of oblate spheroids located above a single plane wall or within a parallel-sided channel. The effect of particle shape on the structure of the flow is illustrated, and some novel features of the motion are discussed. The numerical computations reveal the range of accuracy of previous asymptotic solutions for small or tightly fitting spherical particles.

AbstractThis paper investigates a Dirichlet problem for a time fractional diffusion-wave equation (TFDWE) in Lipschitz domains. Since (TFDWE) is a reasonable interpolation of the heat equation and the wave equation, it is natural trying to adopt the techniques developed for solving the aforementioned problems. This paper continues the work done by the author for a time fractional diffusion equation in the subdiffusive case, i.e. the order of the time differentiation is 0 < α < 1. However, when compared to the subdiffusive case, the operator ∂ tα in (TFDWE) is no longer positive. Therefore we follow the approach applied to the hyperbolic counterpart for showing the existence and uniqueness of the solution.We use the Laplace transform to obtain an equivalent problem on the space-Laplace domain. Use of the jump relations for the single layer potential with density in H −1/2(Γ) allows us to define a coercive and bounded sesquilinear form. The obtained variational form of the original problem has a unique solution, which implies that the original problem has a solution as well and the solution can be represented in terms of the single layer potential.
