It is usual that underground structures are constructed within a multi-layered medium. In this paper, an efficient numerical modelling of multi-layered structural systems is studied using coupled analysis of finite elements and boundary elements. The finite elements are applied to the area in which the material nonlinearity dominates, and the boundary elements are applied to the far field where the nonlinearity is relatively weak. In the boundary element modelling of the multi-layered medium, fundamental solutions are not readily available. Thus, methods which can utilize existing Kelvin solutions are sought for the interior multi-layered domain problem. The interior domain problem which has piecewise homogeneous layers is analyzed using boundary elements with Kelvin solution, by discretizing each homogeneous subdomain and enforcing compatibility and equilibrium conditions between interfaces. Developed methodology is verified by comparing its results with those from the finite element analysis and it is concluded that coupled analysis using boundary elements and finite elements can be reasonable and efficient.

We get a theorem which shows the existence of at least six solutions for the semilinear wave equation with nonlinearity crossing three eigenvalues. We obtain this result by the variational reduction method and the geometric mapping defined on the finite dimensional subspace. We use a contraction mapping principle to reduce the problem on the infinite dimensional space to that on the finite dimensional subspace. We construct a three-dimensional subspace with three axes spanned by three eigenvalues and a mapping from the finite dimensional subspace to the one-dimensional subspace.

We prove the existence of multiple solutions (${\xi},{\eta}$) for perturbations of the elliptic system with Dirichlet boundary condition $$(0.1)\;\begin{array}{lcr}A{\xi}+g_1({\xi}+ 2{\eta})=s{\phi}_1+h\;in\;{\Omega},\\A{\xi}+g_2({\xi}+ 2{\eta})=s{\phi}_1+h\;in\;{\Omega},\end{array}$$ where $lim_{u{\rightarrow}{\infty}}\frac{gj(u)}{u}={\beta}_j$, $lim_{u{\rightarrow}-{\infty}}\frac{gj(u)}{u}={\alpha}_j$ are finite and the nonlinearity $g_1+2g_2$ crosses eigenvalues of A.

We investigate the multiple solutions for a suspending beam equation with jumping nonlinearity crossing three eigenvalues, with Dirichlet boundary condition and periodic condition. We show the existence of at least six nontrivial periodic solutions for the equation by using the finite dimensional reduction method and the geometry of the mapping.

This paper is dealt with one-dimensional elliptic jumping problem with nonlinearities crossing n eigenvalues. We get one theorem which shows multiplicity results for solutions of one-dimensional elliptic boundary value problem with jumping nonlinearities. This theorem is that there exist at least two solutions when nonlinearities crossing odd eigenvalues, at least three solutions when nonlinearities crossing even eigenvalues, exactly one solutions and no solution depending on the source term. We obtain these results by the eigenvalues and the corresponding normalized eigenfunctions of the elliptic eigenvalue problem and Leray-Schauder degree theory.

Nonlinearity and anisotropy of soil should be considered for the exact prediction of deformation before the failure state. In this study, a new constitutive model is developed in which the nonlinearity of soil is formulated by Ramberg-Osgood equation and the soil anisotropy is implemented by the cross-anisotropic elasticity. Nonlinear anisotropic model and other models for comparison are used to analyze the simple boundary value problems and the circular footing problem. In the results, the anisotropic ratio of elastic modulus is a key value for the bulk modulus of soil, the coeffcient of earth pressure at rest, and the slope of effective stress paths. Furthermore, it is found that the nonlinearity of soil considering the in-situ stresses has the great influence on the magnitude of settlements.

In this paper, we study singular Dirichlet boundary value problems involving ϕ-Laplacian. Using fixed point index theory, the existence of positive solutions is established under the assumption that the nonlinearity f = f(u) has a positive falling zero and is either superlinear or sublinear at u = 0.
