In this paper, the importance of investigation on terrestrical processes in arid areas for mankind’s living environment protection and local economy development as well as its present state of the art are elucidated. A coupling model, whichevaluates heat, mass, momentum and radiative fluxes in the SPAC system, is developed for simulating microclimate over plant and bore soil. Especially, it is focussed on the details of turbulence tracsfer. For illustration, numerical simulation of the water-heat exchange processes at Shapotou Observatory, CAS, Ninxia Province areconducted, and the computational results show that the laws of land-surface processesare rather typiical in the arid areas.

Based on the general solution of the three-dimensional problem for piezoelectric materials, the problem of a piezoelectric cone subjected to concentratedloads at its apex is solved by trial-and--error method. The displacements and stresses are explicitly given for the cases of compression in the presence of pointcharge, bending and torsion. These solutions are simple in form and convenient for application. When the apex angle 2α equals π, the solutions for concentrated force, point charge and torsion reduce to solutions of the half-space problem.

Dynamic-Relaxation Method (DRM) is applied to studying the influence of compression-bending coupling on nonlinear behavior of cylindrically slightly curved panels of unsymmetric laminated composite materials subjected to uniform uniaxial compression during loading and unloading. Numerical results are given for cross-ply plates and panels under S4 S4 and S4 S2 boundary conditions. The results show that the effects of absolute value and the sign of the coupling coefficient on the stability behavior of the paules are significant.

The uniqueness of solution of field point, inside a convex region due to singular source(s) with kernel function decreasing with distance increasing, outsidergeion-distribution(s) such that the boundary condition expressed by the response of the source(s) is satisfied, is proved by using the condition of kernel function decreasing with distance increasing and an integral inequality. Examples of part ofthese singular sources such as Kelvin’s point force, Point-Ring-Couple (PRC) etc.are given. The proof of uniqueness of solution of field point in a twisted shaft of revolution due to PRC distribution is given as an example of application.

An assumption that the normal component of the electric displacement on crack faces is thought of as being zero is widely used in analyzing the fracture mechanics of piezoelectric materials. However, it is shown from the available experiments that the above assumption will lead to erroneous results. In this paper,the two-dimensional problem of a piezoelectric material with a crack is studied based on the exact electric boundary condition on the crack faces. Stroh formalism is used to obtain the closed-form solutions when the material is subjected to uniform loads at infinity. It is shown for these solutions that: (i) the stress intensity factor is thesame as that of isotropic material, while the intensity factor of the electric displacement depends on both material properties and the mechanical loads, but not on the electric load. (ii) the energy release rate in a piezoelectric material is larger than that in a pure elastic-anisotropic material, i. e., it is always positive, anti independent of the electric lode. (iii) the field solutions in a piezoelectric material are not related to the dielectric constant of air or vacuum inside the crack.

Alternating direction implicit (A. D. I.) schemes have been proved valuable in the approximation of the solutions of parabolic partial differential equations in multi-dimensional space. Consider equations in the form ∂u/∂t-∂/∂x(a(x,y,t)∂u/∂x)-∂/∂y(b(x,y,t)∂u/∂y)=ƒ Two A. D. I. schemes, Peaceman-Rachford scheme and Douglas scheme will be studied. In the literature, stability and convergence have been analysed with FourierMethod, which cannot be extended beyond the model problem with constant coefficients. Additionally, L² energy method has been introduced to analyse the caseof non-constant coefficients, however, the conclusions are too weak and incomplete because Of the so-called "equivalence between L² norm and H¹ semi-norm". In this paper, we try to improve these conclusions by H¹ energy estimating method. The principal results ore that both of the two A. D. I. schemes are absolutely stable and converge to the exact solution with error estimations O(Δt²+h²) in discrete H¹norm. This implies essential improvement of existing conclusions.

In this paper, with the theory of nonlinear dynamic systems, It is analyzed that the dynamic behavior and the predictabilityfor the monthly mean variationsof the sunspot relative number recorded from January 1891 to December 1996. Inthe progress, the fractal dimension (D=3. 3±0.2) for the variation process wascomputed. This helped us to determine the embedded dimension [2×D+1]=7.By computing the Lyapunov index (λ₁=0.863), it was indicated that the variationprocess is a chaotic system. The Kolmogorov entropy (K=0.0260) was also computed, which provides, theoretically, the predicable time scale. And at the end, according to the result of the analysis above, an experimental predication is made,whose data was a part cut from the sample data.

Rattling vibration is an important noise source of gear-box. To controlthat noise, it is necessary to elaborate a mathematics-mechanical model on rattlinggears. In this paper, a rattling system modulated by noise was investigated. Insteadof performing the very tedious numerical calculation, a discrete stochastic modeldescribed by three dimensional mean mapping was established by means of the NonGaussian closure technique. Through the example, the chaotic stochastic behaviormay be revealed. In comparison with deterministic model, the model developed inthis paper is more approximate to practice adn more available for acousticinvestigation, so that it is suggested to be applied to modeling on rattling vibration.

With the use of the homeomorphism theory and fixed point theory, theexistence and uniqueness of solutions to boundary value problems are investigated.Two basic theorems are obtained without the boundness condition, which generalizesresults of Brown. When our results are applied to the existence and uniqueness ofperiodic solutions for nonlinear perturbed conservative systems (Newtonian equationsof motion), the existence and uniqueness of the solution are obtained. The results inthis note seem less restrictive than those of the former papers we have seen. Meanwhile, as far as we know, it seems that applying the homeomorphism theory to theresearch of this kind of problem is new.
