The stress and displacement fields at the crack tip were studied during the unsteady propagation of a mode III crack in a direction that was different from the property graduation direction in functionally graded materials (FGMs). The property graduation in FGMs was assumed based on the linearly varying shear modulus under a constant density and the exponentially varying shear modulus and density. To obtain the solution of the harmonic function, the general partial differential equation of the dynamic equilibrium equation was transformed into a Laplace equation. Based on the Laplace equation, the stress and displacement fields, which depended on the time rates of change in the crack tip speed and stress intensity factor, were obtained through an asymptotic analysis. Using the stress and displacement fields, the effects of the angled property variation on the stresses, displacements, and stress intensity factors are discussed.

Conformal mapping is useful to solve problems in heat conduction, electrostatic potential and fluid flow involving Laplace's equation in two independent variables. Determinations of conformal maps from the unit disk onto a Jordan region eventually requires solving the Theodorsen equation which is in general nonlinear with respect to the boundary correspondence function. H bner's method which has been well known for the efficient method among the many suggestions for the Theodorsen equation, was improved in early study[1, 2]. In this paper Wegmann's method is treated that is more efficient in computation cost rather than H bner's. But we found that a question which is divergent in some difficult problems by numerical experiment of Wegmann's iteration. We analyze theoretically the cause of divergence and propose an improved method by applying a low frequency filter to the Wegmann's method. Numerical experiments by our improved method show convergence for all divergent problems by Wegmann's method.

The migration equation is modified for a three-member decay chain in the fracture and porous matrix Analytical solutions are obtained by utilizing Laplace transform the initial conditions of Delta function and Bateman equation. The concentrations for each nuclide of Np$^{237}$ -U$^{233}$ -Th$^{229}$ and U$^{234}$ -Th$^{230}$ -Ra$^{226}$ chains selected from the 4n＋1 and 4n＋2 chains are plotted by utilizing analytical solutions in the fracture. Retardation coefficient of the nuclides are obtained using those of the granite. The results indicate that the daughter nuclides such as U$^{233}$ , Th$^{229}$ , Th$^{230}$ and Ra$^{226}$ become important at the far field from the repository though there is very small initial inventory in the waste solid or spent fuel, for they are produced by the mother nuclides decayed in the fracture and porous matrix.

In this study, a mathematical model for a thermal analysis of a flat heat pipe with a grooved wick structure is presented. The effects of the liquid-vapor interfacial shear stress, the contact angle, and the amount of liquid charge have been included in the proposed model. In particular, the axial variations of the wall temperature and the evaporation/condensation rates are considered by solving the one-dimensional conduction and the augmented Young-Laplace equations, respectively. In order to verify the model, the results obtained from the model are compared to existing experimental data.

In this paper, the anti-plane transient response of a central crack normal to the interface between a piezoelectric ceramics and two same elastic materials is considered. The assumed crack surfaces are permeable. By virtue of integral transform methods, the electro elastic mixed boundary problems are formulated as two set of dual integral equations, which, in turn, are reduced to a Fredholm integral equation of the second kind in the Laplace transform domain. Time domain solutions are obtained by inverting Laplace domain solutions using a numerical scheme. Numerical values on the quasi-static stress intensity factor and the dynamic energy release rate are presented to show the dependences upon the geometry, material combination, electromechanical coupling coefficient and electric field.

A method of two and three dimensional orthogonal grid generation with control of spacing by using the covariant Laplace equation is presented. An important feature of the methodology is its ability to control effectively the grid spacing especially near the boundaries still maintaining good orthogonality in whole field. The method is based on the concept of decomposition of the global transformation into consecutive transformation of an approximate conformal mapping and an auxiliary orthogonal mapping to have linear and uncoupled equations. Control of cell spacing is based on the concept of reference arc length, and orthogonal correction is peformed in the auxiliary domain. It is concluded that the methodology can successfully generate well controlled orthogonal grids around bodies of 2 and 3 dimensional configurations.

We apply a full mutigrid scheme to computing eigenvalues of the Laplace eigenvalue problem with Dirichlet boundary condition. We use finite difference method to get an algebraic equation and apply inverse power method to estimating the smallest eigenvalue. Our result shows that combined method of inverse power method and full multigrid scheme is very effective in calculating eigenvalue of the eigenvalue problem.

The present paper is concerned with the investigation of disturbances in orthotropic thermoelastic medium by using fractional order heat conduction equation with three phase lags due to thermomechanical sources. Laplace and Fourier transform techniques are used to solve the problem. The expressions for displacement components, stress components and temperature change are derived in transformed domain and further in physical domain using numerical inversion techniques. The effect of fractional parameter based on its conductivity i.e., ($0<{\alpha}<1$ for weak, ${\alpha}=1$ for normal, $1<{\alpha}{\leq}2$ for strong conductivity) is depicted graphically on various components.

The heat diffusion equation for an annular fin is analyzed using Laplace transformations. The fin has a uniform thickness with its edge heat loss and two temperature profiles at the base such as a step change in temperature or heat flux. To obtain the exact solutions for temperature distribution, this paper can detect the eigenvalues which satisfy the roots of transcendental equations in above two cases during inverse Laplace transformations. The exact solutions for temperature and heat flux are obtained with the infinite Series by dimensionless factors. The solutions are developed for small and large values of times. These series solutions converge rapidly for large values of time, but slowly for small.

This paper reports the analysis of dynamic characteristics of air-cooled condenser. At first, there is an assumption that the superheated vapor flows into the condenser inlet. And in order to consider the effect of pressure change in the dynamic characteristics of the condenser the combined system of condenser and compressor was used. By using the equation of energy balance and the equation of mass balance, the basic equation for describing the dynamic characteristics of condenser can be derived. The transfer function for describing dynamic response of the condenser to flow rate change outlet can be obtained from using linearizations and Laplace transformations of the equation. From this transfer function, analytical investigation which affects the frequency responses of condenser has been made. Through this study, it became possible that the information about the dynamic characteristics of air-cooled condenser is offered. While the average heat transfer coefficient of the refrigerant side necessary for the theoretical calculation of the dynamic characteristics is given by calculation method for the tube length and pressure drop of air-cooled condenser.
