This paper presents a nonlinear Moving Least Squares(MLS) difference method for material nonlinearity problem. The MLS difference method, which employs strong formulation involving the fast derivative approximation, discretizes governing partial differential equation based on a node model. However, the conventional MLS difference method cannot explicitly handle constitutive equation since it solves solid mechanics problems by using the Navier's equation that unifies unknowns into one variable, displacement. In this study, a double derivative approximation is devised to treat the constitutive equation of inelastic material in the framework of strong formulation; in fact, it manipulates the first order derivative approximation two times. The equilibrium equation described by the divergence of stress tensor is directly discretized and is linearized by the Newton method; as a result, an iterative procedure is developed to find convergent solution. Stresses and internal variables are calculated and updated by the return mapping algorithm. Effectiveness and stability of the iterative procedure is improved by using algorithmic tangent modulus. The consistency of the double derivative approximation was shown by the reproducing property test. Also, accuracy and stability of the procedure were verified by analyzing inelastic beam under incremental tensile loading.

For practical calculations, the Reynolds equation is frequently used to analyze the lubricating flow. The full Navier-Stokes Equations are used to find validity limits of Reynolds equation in a lubricating flow regime by result comparison. As the amplitude of wavy upper wall increased at a given average channel height, the difference between Navier-Stokes and lubrication theory decreased slightly : however, as the minimum distance in channel throat increased, the differences in the maximum pressure between Navier-Stokes and lubrication theory became large.

In this paper, we consider numerical solution of a H-J-B (Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman) equation of elliptic type arising from the stochastic control problem. For the numerical solution of the equation, we take an approach involving contraction mapping and finite difference approximation. We choose the It(equation omitted) type stochastic differential equation as the dynamic system concerned. The numerical method of solution is validated computationally by using the constructed test case. Map of optimal controls is obtained through the numerical solution process of the equation. We also show how the method applies by taking a simple example of nonlinear spacecraft control.

Reliable flow measurement for dry season is very important to set up the in-stream flow exactly and total maximum daily load control program in the basin. Especially, in the points which tidal current effects are dominant because reliability of the low measurement decrease. The reliable measuring methods are needed. In this study, we analysis the water surface elevation difference of water surface elevation. Quantity relationship to consider tidal currents in these regions. It is known that tidal current effects from Nakdong river barrage are dominant in Samrangjin measuring station. We developed multiple regression equation with water surface elevation, quantity, and difference of water surface elevation and compared these results water measured rating curve. All of these regression equation including linear regression equation and log regression equation fits better measured data them existing water surface elevation quantity line and Among three equations, the log regression equation is best to represent the measured the rating curve in Samrangjin point. The log regression equation is useful method to obtain the quantity in the regions which tidal currents are dominant.

In this paper, we investigate the finite order transcendental meromorphic solutions of complex difference equation of Malmquist type $$\prod_{i=1}^{n}f(z+c_i)=R(z,f)$$, where $c_1,{\ldots},c_n{\in}\mathbb{C}{\backslash}\{0\}$, and R(z, f) is an irreducible rational function in f(z) with meromorphic coefficients. We obtain some results on deficiencies of the solutions. Using these results, we prove that the growth order of the finite order solution f(z) is 1, if f(z) has Borel exceptional values $a({\in}\mathbb{C})$ and ${\infty}$. Moreover, we give the forms of f(z).

We consider here the problem of spectral estimation of multidimensional wide sense stationary (WSS) random process. A method, employing a special difference equation of correlation function, is proposed to solve the problem of multidimensional spectral estimation. In this approach, the special difference equation of correlation function is derived by modal decomposition method. Maximum likelihood estimator and Kalman filter are used to estimate the model parameters of the difference equation and the decomposed spectral residues. An algorithm is presented to estimate the multidimensional spectral density. According to the result of the simulation, these methods are feasible to estimate the spectral density of WSS process, which is realized by finite dimensional multivariable lineal system driven by white noise.

Here, we investigate global asymptotic stability, periodicity, boundedness and oscillation of positive solutions of the above equation.

Galerkin's finite element method is applied to a two-dimensional heat convection-diffusion problem arising in the hydrodynamic lubrication of thrust bearings used in naval vessels. A parabolized thermal energy equation for the lubricant, and thermal diffusion equations for both bearing pad and the collar are treated together, with proper juncture conditions on the interface boundaries. it has been known that a numerical instability arises when the classical Galerkin's method, which is equivalent to a centered difference approximation, is applied to a parabolic-type partial differential equation. Probably the simplest remedy for this instability is to use a one-sided finite difference formula for the first derivative term in the finite difference method. However, in the present coupled heat convection-diffusion problem in which the governing equation is parabolized in a subdomain(Lubricant), uniformly stable numerical solutions for a wide range of the Peclet number are obtained in the numerical test based on Galerkin's classical finite element method. In the present numerical convergence errors in several error norms are presented in the first model problem. Additional numerical results for a more realistic bearing lubrication problem are presented for a second numerical model.
