Journal Article
TL;DR: In this article, several numerical methods are applied to solve the Savage-Hutter (SH) equations and compared, including traditional difference schemes, as well as high-resolution NOC (Non-Oscillatory Central Differencing) schemes, in which several second-order TVD (Total Variation Diminishing) limiters and a third-order ENO (Essentially non-oscillation) cell reconstruction scheme are used.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the results obtained by Poincare's small parameter method and by direct separation of motions, which require laborious computations, can be obtained much more simply by using an extended formulation of the integral stability criterion.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the instability of oscillations of a weightless rod with a concentrated mass, sliding periodically along the rod axis is investigated, where the amplitude of the displacement of the mass and viscous friction, due to the air resistance, is assumed to small, while the periodic excitation function is arbitrary.

TL;DR: In this paper, a method of calculating the rate of thermophoresis of large bodies in gases is briefly described, focusing on the features of the mechanism of the thermophoreis of highly heat-conducting bodies, which were subject to the attempts made over many years to explain the anomalies.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: A model of transient single-lane traffic flows is proposed, taking into account the basic components used to control road traffic (traffic lights and “sleeping policemen”), which is radically different from those traditionally considered in continuum mechanics.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the number of independent compatibility equations in terms of stresses involved in formulating the basic problem in the mechanics of deformable solids in termsof stresses in ℝn, is the same as the independent components of the Kroner and Riemann-Christoffel tensors and the existence of the Bianchi identities does not reduce this number.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the basic ideas of the renormalization-group (RG) method are presented, the results of which are the functional and differential RG equations are explained, and ways of solving the RG differential equation, as well as some technical aspects of the RG method, such as the method of ϵ-expansion, are outlined.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors considered the plane problem of the limit equilibrium of a crack, where constant normal and shear stresses of cohesion act between the crack surfaces in the end regions when uniformly distributed normal stresses are applied at infinity.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the motion of a carriage with two wheeled pairs over a rough horizontal plane is investigated in the following cases: (1) inertial motion, (2) when there is an elastic constraint which produces a restoring moment of the forces when the axis of rotation of the leading wheeled pair deviates from the unperturbed position.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a new method of constructing canonical replacements of variables in parametric form, which differs from the existing constructive methods in the Hamiltonian procedure: the method of derivatives and generators, is proposed.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a norm-bounded locally optimal control is constructed which minimizes the frequency and phase deviations from resonance in a non-linear system affected by bounded perturbations, independent of the form of the perturbation and the structure of the conservative part of the system.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of the motion of a heavy rigid body is considered in the so-called "restricted" formulation, which is obtained on the assumption that two dimensions of the body, which we will call its "width" and "thickness", are considerably less than the third dimension, the "length" of a body.
