Catastrophe dynamical

Some outgivings about elements of the system s interpretation field are put into correspondence with all statements of the axiomatic theory. The interpretation field ad its features are the object of study of the basic theory - the catastrophes dynamic theory which also may be presented as the axiomatic theory. This method allows to prove consistency of the system s theory depending on the axiomatic catastrophes theory.

Interaction dynamics interpretation in the system is realized on the base of fractal structures. These structures ensure modeling of the situations development process and mechanisms of managing changes of fractal displays in the frame of the catastrophes dynamic model [12].

Thus, conditions and their realization within the frames of the catastrophe dynamic model allow to formulate the axiomatic basis and present ontology of interpreting current situations. Developed on the basis of this formalization ontology models are considered as constituents of the common problem of the systems ontology and are defined by the truth criterion CR(True) based on fullness demand Dem(Full) and consistency Dem(Non-Contr) of formulated axioms and rules of conclusion ...

Such changes may be taken into account by shifting the representative point of the emulsion on the formulation-composition map. In some cases this point could trespass on the standard inversion line and emulsion inversion could take place in a dynamic fashion. Recent studies have shown that there are two kinds of dynamic inversions (1) the vertical crossing of the horizontal branch, which is produced by changing a formulation variable from A to A" region or vice versa, and (2) the horizontal crossing of one of the vertical branches, which takes place by changing somehow the water-to-oil ratio. The first type has been called transitional inversion because it happens smoothly in some reversible way. The second one was termed catastrophic dynamic inversion because it develops as a sudden instability and exhibits several characteristics of the cusp catastrophe model, such as hysteresis and metastability [55].

Up to this point we have addressed primarily the flaw structure and energy concepts in stress-wave loaded solids governing the creation of new fracture surface area (or the mean fragment size) in catastrophic fragmentation events. It remains to consider a concept which is frequently the end concern in impulsive fracture applications, namely, the distribution in sizes of the particles produced in the dynamic fragmentation event. 

The effect of ozone is complicated in so far as its effect is largely at or near the surface and is of greatest consequence in lightly stressed rubbers. Cracks are formed with an axis perpendicular to the applied stress and the number of cracks increases with the extent of stress. The greatest effect occurs when there are only a few cracks which grow in size without the interference of neighbouring cracks and this may lead to catastrophic failure. Under static conditions of service the use of hydrocarbon waxes which bloom to the surface because of their crystalline nature give some protection but where dynamic conditions are encountered the saturated hydrocarbon waxes are usually used in conjunction with an antiozonant. To date the most effective of these are secondary alkyl-aryl-p-phenylenediamines such as /V-isopropyl-jV-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (IPPD). 

An example will be given to show how dynamic loading can lead to product failure by hysteresis heating. When this condition exists the failure will be catastrophic rather than... 

The primary reason it is difficult to treat angular momentum rigorously is due to the angular momentum catastrophe [58]. As noted in Section III, cross sections and other experimental observables are sums over all relevant total angular momentum quantum numbers, J. Each J represents a quantum dynamics problem to be solved, and the size of the problem increases dramatically with J. For each J, there are Nk projections of K, where Nts = fmax — min + 1- For a fliree-atom system, the minimum value of K, is a function of both J and p, such that = 0 when J and p are... 

The standard effective spectroscopic Fermi resonant Hamiltonian allows more complicated types of behavior. The full three-dimensional aspects of the monodromy remain to be worked out, but it was shown, with the help of the Xiao—KeUman [28, 29] catastrophe map, that four main dynamical regimes apply, and that successive polyads of a given molecule may pass from one regime to another.

Normally, the overall blast capacity of a building is not controlled by its foundation because there is usually adequate inherent strength to prevent a catastrophic failure. However, excessive dynamic movements from a blast load may result in unacceptable foundation damage, which because of inaccessibility, can be difficult and expensive to repair,...
