Two-dimensional problem

The model describing interaction between two bodies, one of which is a deformed solid and the other is a rigid one, we call a contact problem. After the deformation, the rigid body (called also punch or obstacle) remains invariable, and the solid must not penetrate into the punch. Meanwhile, it is assumed that the contact area (i.e. the set where the boundary of the deformed solid coincides with the obstacle surface) is unknown a priori. This condition is physically acceptable and is called a nonpenetration condition. We intend to give a mathematical description of nonpenetration conditions to diversified models of solids for contact and crack problems. Indeed, as one will see, the nonpenetration of crack surfaces is similar to contact problems. In this subsection, the contact problems for two-dimensional problems characterizing constraints imposed inside a domain are considered. 

Similar treatments can be used for all sorts of two-dimensional problems for calculating the plastic collapse load of structures of complex shape, and for analysing metal-working processes like forging, rolling and sheet drawing. 

A number of empirical tunneling paths have been proposed in order to simplify the two-dimensional problem. Among those are MEP [Kato et al. 1977], sudden straight line [Makri and Miller 1989], and the so-called expectation-value path [Shida et al. 1989]. The results of these papers are hard to compare because slightly different PES were used. As to the expectation-value path, it was constructed as a parametric line q(Q) on which the vibration coordinate q takes its expectation value when Q is fixed. Clearly, for the PES at hand this path coincides with MEP, since is a harmonic oscillator. 

These equations assume that the reactor is single phase and that the surroundings have negligible heat capacity. In principle, Equations (14.19) and (14.20) can be solved numerically using the simple methods of Chapters 8 and 9. The two-dimensional problem in r and is solved for a fixed value of t. A step forward in t is taken, the two-dimensional problem is resolved at the new t, and so on. 

For two-dimensional problems, if a bilinear interpolation function is employed, the influence coefficients can be computed likewise in analytical form [31]. 

A direct computation of Eq (27) may reach accuracy up to the level of discrete error, but this needs multiplications plus (N-i) additions. For two-dimensional problem, it needs N XM multiplications and (W-1) X (M-1) additions. The computational work will be enormous for very large grid numbers, so a main concern is how to get the results within a reasonable CPU time. At present, MLMI and discrete convolution and FFT based method (DC-FFT) are two preferential candidates that can meet the demands for accuracy and efficiency. 

When solving difference boundary-value problems for Poisson s equation in rectangular, angular, cylindrical and spherical systems of coordinates direct economical methods are widely used that are known to us as the decomposition method and the method of separation of variables. The calculations in both methods for two-dimensional problems require Q arithmetic operations, Q — 0 N og. N), where N is the number of the grid nodes along one of the directions. 

The HYDRUS computer model was developed by the Agricultural Research Service of the USDA to estimate water flow in unsaturated soils that support plant growth81 It was developed as a onedimensional model, and then modified to allow solution of two-dimensional problems.82 HYDRUS employs the Richards equation to solve water flow in unsaturated soil however, it uses different solution methods from those used in UNSAT-H. It also requires extensive data input. The available windows version simplifies data entry and model operation. 

Spreadsheets can be used to solve two-dimensional problems on rectangular grids. The equation for 7), is obtained by rearranging Eq. (3-83). 

Non-trivial solutions are obtained only if the determinant of coefficients vanishes. Reduced to a two-dimensional problem, e.g. in K(z, t), the secular equation becomes...

The indices a, a go from 1 to n + 1, where n is the number of spatial degrees of freedom.3 Thus, for one-dimensional quantum-mechanical problems, n = 2, for two-dimensional problems, n = 3, and for three-dimensional problems, n-4. 

One way of linearizing the problem is to use the method of least squares in an iterative linear differential correction technique (McCalla, 1967). This approach has been used by Taylor et al. (1980) to solve the problem of modeling two-dimensional electrophoresis gel separations of protein mixtures. One may also treat the components—in the present case spectral lines—one at a time, approximating each by a linear least-squares fit. Once fitted, a component may be subtracted from the data, the next component fitted, and so forth. To refine the overall fit, individual components may be added separately back to the data, refitted, and again removed. This approach is the basis of the CLEAN algorithm that is employed to remove antenna-pattern sidelobes in radio-astronomy imagery (Hogbom, 1974) and is also the basis of a method that may be used to deal with other two-dimensional problems (Lutin et al., 1978 Jansson et al, 1983). 

Unlike the two-dimensional z-r and r-6 planes, where there are many practical problems are posed and solved, it is hard to think of a two-dimensional problem that is posed on a 6-z surface. Nevertheless, the strain components are certainly required in three-dimensional problems. The derivation follows the same procedure as we have just followed. However, we will not work through the derivations here but simply state the important results. 

For the two-dimensional problem the body force must be purely in the two-dimensional plane. Therefore Vxf must be purely orthogonal to the plane for example, in the r-6 problem, it must point in the z plane. It can be shown that the vortex-stretching term vanishes under these conditions. As a result the vorticity-transport equation is a relatively straightforward scalar parabolic partial differential equation,...

The problem of finding the four missing elements can then be solved as a two-dimensional problem in the xy plane. 

Note that we have assumed the vacancies to be ideally diluted. We can then introduce a perturbation of the planar boundary, z = A +0(x,y,t), and define °(x,y) = Cartesian coordinates perpendicular to z. In this way, the morphological stability becomes a two-dimensional problem. Since we also assume that local equilibrium prevails at both interfaces (surfaces), the boundary conditions are... 

This technique makes use of the innate human cognition to perform clustering in multidimensional space (Osbourn and Martinez, 1995). It is unsupervised and model-free, therefore requires from the user only the data input. A special mask mathematically defines the visual region of influence. Its shape is based on human visual perception, taking advantage of the human brain to recognize and cluster objects (Fig. 10.10a). Its properties are as follows. Two points in space are clustered only if no other point lies within area of the mask which thus defines the exclusion region. In this way, an n-dimensional problem is reduced to set of n two-dimensional problems.
