Combined with the characteristics of deep-sea sediments, the thermo-hydro-mechanical coupling dynamic response model of heterogeneous saturated porous sediments can be established to study the influence of elastic modulus, density, frequency, and load amplitude changes on the model. Based on the Green-Lindsay generalized thermoelasticity theory and Darcy’s law, the thermo-hydro-mechanical coupled dynamic response model and governing equations of heterogeneous deep-sea sediments with nonlinear elastic modulus and density are established. The analytical solutions of dimensionless vertical displacement, vertical stress, excess pore water pressure, and temperature are obtained by means of normal modal analysis, which are depicted graphically. The results show that the changes of elastic modulus and density have few effects on vertical displacement, vertical stress, and temperature, but have great effects on excess pore water pressure. When the mining machine vibrates, the heterogeneity of deep-sea sediments has great influence on vertical displacement, vertical stress, and excess pore water pressure, but has few effects on temperature. In addition, the vertical displacement, vertical stress, and excess pore water pressure of heterogeneous deep-sea sediments change more gently.

To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study presenting this very interesting analysis. Nonlinear partial differential equations for the flow problem are transformed into nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) by using appropriate similarity transformation. These ODEs with the corresponding boundary conditions are numerically solved by utilizing the bvp4c solver in MATLAB programming language. The effects of the governing parameters on the non-dimensional velocity profiles, temperature profiles, skin friction coefficients, and the local Nusselt number are presented in detail through a series of graphs and tables. Interestingly, it is reported that the reduced skin friction coefficient decreases for the assisting flow situation and increases for the opposing flow situation. The numerical computations of the present work are compared with those from other research available in specific situations, and an excellent consensus is observed. Another exciting feature for this work is the existence of dual solutions. An important remark is that the dual solutions exist for both assisting and opposing flows. A linear stability analysis is performed showing that one solution is stable and the other solution is not stable. We notice that the mixed convection and velocity slip parameters have strong effects on the flow characteristics. These effects are depicted in graphs and discussed in this paper.

In this paper, a pre-strain strategy of current collectors to alleviate electrode debonding is proposed. An analytical model for a symmetric electrode with a deformable and limited-thickness current collector is developed to analyze the debonding behavior involving both a pre-strain of the current collector and an eigen-strain of the active layers. The results reveal that the well-designed pre-strain can significantly delay the debonding onset (by up to 100%) and considerably reduce the debonding size.

We demonstrate that the epileptic activities can be controlled and modulated by electromagnetic induction and coupling among regions. In certain regions, these two types of control are observed to show exactly reverse effects. The results show that the strong electromagnetic induction is conducive to eliminating the epileptic seizures. The coupling among regions has a conduction effect that the previous normal background activity of the region gives way to the epileptic discharge, owing to coupling with spike wave discharge regions.

The dynamic system corresponding to the traveling wave solution of the equation is qualitatively analyzed in detail. The influence of the dissipation coefficient on the solution behavior of the bounded traveling wave is studied, and the critical values that can describe the magnitude of the dissipation effect are, respectively, found for the two cases of <i>b</i><sub>3</sub> < 0 and <i>b</i><sub>3</sub> > 0 in the equation. The results show that, when the dissipation effect is significant (i.e., <i>r</i> is greater than the critical value in a certain situation), the traveling wave solution to the generalized Boussinesq equation appears as a kink-shaped solitary wave solution; when the dissipation effect is small (i.e., <i>r</i> is smaller than the critical value in a certain situation), the traveling wave solution to the equation appears as the oscillation attenuation solution. By using the hypothesis undetermined method, all possible solitary wave solutions to the equation when there is no dissipation effect (i.e., <i>r</i> = 0) and the partial kink-shaped solitary wave solution when the dissipation effect is significant are obtained; in particular, when the dissipation effect is small, an approximate solution of the oscillation attenuation solution can be achieved. This paper is further based on the idea of the homogenization principles. By establishing an integral equation reflecting the relationship between the approximate solution of the oscillation attenuation solution and the exact solution obtained in the paper, and by investigating the asymptotic behavior of the solution at infinity, the error estimate between the approximate solution of the oscillation attenuation solution and the exact solution is obtained, which is an infinitesimal amount that decays exponentially.

The pipes are installed in parallel and fixed at their ends, and are restrained by clips to one bracket at their middle points. The pipe subjected to the basement excitation at the left end is named as the active pipe, while the pipe without excitation is called the passive pipe. The clips between the two pipes are the bridge for the vibration energy. The adjacent natural frequencies will enhance the vibration coupling. The governing equation of the coupled system is deduced by the generalized Hamilton principle, and is discretized to the modal space. The modal correction is used during the discretization. The investigation on the natural characters indicates that the adjacent natural frequencies can be adjusted by the stiffness of the two clips and bracket. The harmonic balance method (HBM) is used to study the responses in the adjacent natural frequency region. The results show that the vibration energy transmits from the active pipe to the passive pipe swimmingly via the clips together with a flexible bracket, while the locations of them are not node points. The adjacent natural frequencies may arouse wide resonance curves with two peaks for both pipes. The stiffness of the clip and bracket can release the vibration coupling. It is suggested that the stiffness of the clip on the passive pipe should be weak and the bracket should be strong enough. In this way, the vibration energy is reflected by the almost rigid bracket, and is hard to transfer to the passive pipe via a soft clip. The best choice is to set the clips at the pipe node points. The current work gives some suggestions for weakening the coupled vibration during the dynamic design of a coupled hydraulic pipe system.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":55498,"journal":{"name":"Applied Mathematics and Mechanics-English Edition","volume":"44 3","pages":"363 - 380"},"PeriodicalIF":4.4,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49999160","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
