The fluid motion in a rectangular vessel is dynamically coupled to a surface-piercing porous baffle. The fluid transmission through the baffle is characterized by a nonlinear Darcy–Forchheimer model equation. The numerical scheme is symplectic, based on the implicit-midpoint rule, and thus is strategically designed to maintain the energy partition between the fluid and vessel throughout numerous time steps. Our results demonstrate the non-conservative nature of the system, with the porous baffle effectively dissipating energy from the overall system. Furthermore, we present findings that demonstrate the role of time-periodic variations in baffle porosity on energy dissipation. By manipulating the frequency and magnitude of this time-dependent variability, it is established that a greater amount of energy can be extracted from the system compared with the optimal fixed porosity baffle. These results shed new light on potential strategies for enhancing energy dissipation in such configurations.","PeriodicalId":50204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Mathematics","volume":"237 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141520754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We also analyze their dynamical stability, as determining the design parameters influencing their shape and stability holds significant value for structural engineering. Initially, we employ a statical mechanics approach to balance the mechanical and gravitational forces. By solving an initial-value problem, we derive the cross-sectional areas of the columns. Our findings reveal that these areas, rather than the shapes, are the primary contributors to the engineering performance of the columns. Additionally, the top mass acts as a multiplying factor for the cross-sectional areas, and the density distribution along the column determines whether the top should be heavier or lighter. Furthermore, we demonstrate that exponential, parabolic, or linear cross-sections with significantly wider base profiles are crucial for accommodating heavier top loads. Moving on to the dynamical analysis, we consider two ideal tower configurations: FC and SC. Numerical and analytical results reveal that higher modes exhibit shorter amplitudes. FC modes necessitate higher design parameters to resist buckling phenomena, whereas SC modes show lower resistance to vibrational deflections. In terms of stability, a heavier top mass enhances the vertical beam’s stability, while towers with parabolic bases are more susceptible to instabilities.","PeriodicalId":50204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Mathematics","volume":"75 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141520755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present theoretical study considers Stokes flow around a solid sphere and uses matched asymptotic expansions to estimate the degree of thermal insulation offered by an encapsulating air layer of uniform thickness. Key to our analysis is to derive an expression for the Nusselt number in terms of the air layer thickness and the Péclet number, (text{ Pe}_w), of the surrounding liquid, here assumed to be water. This latter parameter, which characterizes advective to diffusive heat transport, is assumed to be small such that our zeroth- and first-order solutions are, respectively, proportional to (text{ Pe}_w^0) and (text{ Pe}_w^1). Although small (text{ Pe}_w) favors small free stream velocities, forced convection will dominate over natural convection only if the free stream velocity (and/or the solid sphere radius) exceeds a certain threshold. This requirement constrains the solution space; on the other hand, it is straightforward to generalize our analysis so that it considers fluid pairs other than water and air.","PeriodicalId":50204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Mathematics","volume":"27 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141528911","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For many statistical models, these may not be straightforward. This paper proposes a simpler Alternating Minimization (AM) algorithm using a probability generating function (pgf)-based divergence measure for estimation in univariate and bivariate distributions. The performance of the estimation method is studied for the negative binomial and Neyman Type-A distributions in the univariate setting, while for bivariate cases, the bivariate Poisson and the bivariate negative binomial distributions are considered. Comparison is made with direct optimization of pgf-based divergence measure and maximum likelihood (ML) estimates. Results produced via AM in both simulated and real-life datasets show an improvement in comparison to direct pgf optimization, especially in the bivariate setting, with the execution time showing an improvement for large sample sizes when compared to ML. Goodness-of-fit tests show that the pgf divergence measure with AM estimates mostly perform similarly to the ML estimates in terms of power of the test.","PeriodicalId":50204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Mathematics","volume":"46 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141059987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is demonstrated that a linear solution in the characteristic plane can behave non-linearly in the physical plane. We have determined the critical amplitude of the initial disturbance; if the initial amplitude of the compressive disturbance is greater than the critical value, the disturbance must culminate into a shock wave, while if it is less than this value, the disturbance will decay, and no shock formation will happen. We establish the criteria for shock generation and the transport equation that governs the development of weak shock waves. Acceleration waves having planar and cylindrical symmetry are analyzed as their steepening, or flattening is investigated as a function of the non-idealness parameter, relaxation parameter, adiabatic index, and magnetic field strength parameter. In both the planar and cylindrical symmetries, the shock formation process is slowed by increasing the relaxation parameter as well as the magnetic field parameter but accelerated by non-idealness and the adiabatic index. In the ideal gas case with adiabatic exponent (gamma = 2), the magnetic field has no effect on the steepening or flattening of the wavefront in both the planar and cylindrical symmetries.","PeriodicalId":50204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Mathematics","volume":"54 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140885685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Their tip deflection relies on the unmatched coefficients of thermal expansion between layers. The thermal bimorph phenomenon is dependent on the temperature rise within the cantilever and, while previous studies have investigated variations in the thermal profile along the cantilever length, these have usually neglected variations in the thermal profile along the cantilever thickness. The current study investigates the thermal distribution across the thickness of the cantilever. The exact closed form solution to the one-dimensional problem of heat conduction in the composite (layered) domain subjected to transient volumetric heating is developed using the appropriate Green’s function. This solution is applied to a one-dimensional case study of a 3-layer cantilever with an Aluminium heater, a silicon dioxide resistive layer, and a silicon base layer. The aluminium heater experiences volumetric heating at a rate of 0.2 mW/μm3 of 5 μs duration at 100 μs intervals (10 kHz with a 1/20 duty cycle). Benchmark solutions of the temperature at select times and positions are provided. It is shown that there are negligible temperature gradients across the cantilever thickness during the heating and the first ~ 5 μs afterward. These short-lived temperature differences are positively biased with the unmatched thermal expansion coefficients between the layers, though their relative influence on bending is not clear. A simple parametric analysis indicates that the relative magnitude of the temperature differences across the cantilever (compared to the overall temperature) decreases substantially with increasing duty cycle.","PeriodicalId":50204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Mathematics","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140831700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This results in the modification of the bulk velocity field by the density jump across the amorphous–crystalline interface as new material enters the film and instantaneously changes volume. In other physical systems, phase change at a moving boundary is known to affect linear stability, but such an effect has not yet been considered in the context of continuum models of ion-induced nanopatterning. We also determine simple closed-form expressions for the amorphous–crystalline interface in terms of the free interface, appealing directly to the physics of the collision cascade, which was recently shown to strongly modify the critical angle at which pattern formation is predicted to begin on an irradiated target. We find that phase-change at the amorphous–crystalline boundary imparts a strong ion, target, and energy dependence and, alongside a precise description of the interfacial geometry, may contribute to a unified, predictive, and continuum-type model of ion-induced nanopatterning valid across a wide range of systems. In particular, we consider argon-irradiated silicon, where the presence of phase-change at the amorphous–crystalline interface appears to predict an experimentally observed, strong suppression of pattern formation near 1.5 keV for that system.","PeriodicalId":50204,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Engineering Mathematics","volume":"111 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2024-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140616455","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
