The relations between various couple stress tensors and their change rates are derived. The equations of angular momentum and the corresponding boundary conditions of incremental rate type are presented. Thus the equations of motion and the boundary conditions of incremental rate type of Cauchy form, Piola form and Kirchhoff form for polar continua are obtained in combination of these results with those for classical continuum mechanics derived by Kuang Zhenbang.

By employing the normal form theory, the Hopf bifurcation and the transition boundary of an autonomous double pendulum with 1:1 internal resonance at the critical point is studied. The results are compared with numerical solutions. Further, by numerical methods, the road to chaos of a non-autonomous system is presented in the end.

Colloidal dispersions are common in nature with wide industrial applications. One of the central theoretical problems in the field is to determine the rheological properties of the colloidal dispersion from the microstructures of the systems. Because of the difficulties associated with the boundary-value problems of the many-particle system, existing theories for colloidal suspensions are limited to low particle concentrations. In this work, a method of transformation field is developed by which one can calculate the effective viscosity of an incompressible viscous fluid containing colloidal particles (either solid particles or liquid drops). The predictions of our theory are in good agreement with the Einstein’s formula for suspensions and the Taylor’s formula for emulsions at low particle concentrations. At higher particle concentrations, the results of Nunan and Keller are produced. The method is also applicable to the viscosity of colloidal systems with non-spherical particles.

It is shown that there exists Λ>0 such that, for every λ∈(0,Λ), the semilinear elliptic system:-Δu=λu｜u｜^q-1+u｜u｜ ^p-1-v in Ω,- Δv=δu-γv in Ω, u=v=0 on ∂Ω, where Ω∈R^N(N≥2) is a bounded domain with smooth boundary and 0<q<1<p,has a minimal positive solution (uλ,vλ). Moreover: uλ and vλ are strictly increasing with respect to λ.

The forces on rigid particles moving in relation to fluid having been studied and the equation of modifications of their expressions under different flow conditions discussed, a general form of equation for discrete particles’ motion in arbitrary flow field is obtained. The mathematical features of the linear form of the equation are clarified and analytical solution of the linearized equation is gotten by means of Laplace transform. According to above theoretical results, the effects of particles’ properties on its motion in several typical flow field are studied, with some meaningful conclusions being reached.

Reliability analysis of the inspected and repaired structure requires dealing with a large number of complex random events. Considering many kinds of random factors, a probability of these random events existing possibly in the inspection and repair process and reliability analysis methodologies are proposed. A systematic dynamic reliability model is given for structures in service under the scheduled inspection and repair.

Naturally curved and twisted closed thin-walled slender beams of composite material undergoing small strains, large displacements and rotations have been investigated, and an incomplete generalized variational function on theory of elasticity with finite displacement is established for these beams with complete constrained boundaries at two ends. The balance equations as well as all boundary conditions concerned have been deduced from functional stationary value condition. The above-mentioned method can also be extended to other various incomplete constrained boundaries conveniently. In addition, the fundamental equations and concerned formulas in the small displacement theory of the beams can be derived by using above results.

The purpose of the present study is to develop a new finite element method for analyzing buckling of delaminated composite plates and shells. This is achieved by establishing a new finite element called the reference-surface element. By use of the compatibility condition under Mindlin assumptions, the formulation of the reference-surface element was derived from whichever plate-element or shell-element being capable of analyzing composite plates and shells. This method assures a reasonable description of displacement field and the satisfaction of compatibility conditions for delamination problem. Numerical results for linear delamination buckling of axially compressed shells are presented to validate the method.
