The relativistic Weibel instability has drawn attention as a main mechanism of the magnetic generation in the core of galaxies or in the formation of universe. The Weibel instability is not yet fully understood in the relativistic region. We investigated nonlinear saturation and decay of the relativistic Weibel instability. It is found that the early phase of the instability is in excellent agreement with the linear theory. But, an analysis based on an alternative magnetic trapping saturation theory reveals that a substantial discrepancy between the theory and simulation is revealed in the relativistic regime in contrast to an excellent agreement in the non-relativistic regime. The analysis of the Weibel instability beyond the quasilinear saturation stage shows an inverse cascade process via a nonlinear decay instability involving electrostatic fluctuation.

Hill's anisotropy theory and isotropy theory under the deformed profile assumed two separate cases(that is circular and ellipitical) are applied to predict the plastic deformation characteristics of bulge, the strain and polar height under instability condition, using thin square diaphragms of stainless steel, mild steel, brass, copper and aluminum. In this study it was found that the pressure-polar height curves, and the polar height-the polar radius of curvature curve, under anisotropy theory and isotropy theory, assuming a circle profile, agree well with the experimental results, and the equivalent strains of the instability condition under anisotropy theory are better good agreement with the experimental results than those of the instability condition under isotropy theory. Beside, FLCo(plane Strain Intercept) obtained by Bethlehem FLC method and standard FLC method (modified) agree well with the experimental result.

The purpose of the present work was to study the dynamic instability of a three-layered, symmetric sandwich beam subjected to a periodic axial load resting on nonlinear elastic foundation. A higher-order theory was used for analysis of sandwich beams with soft core on elastic foundations. In the higher-order theory, the Reddy's third-order theory was used for the face sheets and quadratic and cubic functions were assumed for transverse and in-plane displacements of the core, respectively. The elastic foundation was modeled as nonlinear's type. The dynamic instability regions and free vibration were investigated for simply supported conditions by Bolotin's method. The results showed that the responses of the dynamic instability of the system were influenced by the excitation frequency, the coefficients of foundation, the core thickness, the dynamic and static load factor. Comparison of the present results with the published results in the literature for the special case confirmed the accuracy of the proposed theory.

The modified couple stress-based third-order shear deformation theory is presented for sigmoid functionally graded materials (S-FGM) plates. The advantage of the modified couple stress theory is the involvement of only one material length scale parameter which causes to create symmetric couple stress tensor and to use it more easily. Analytical solution for dynamic instability analysis of S-FGM plates on elastic medium is investigated. The present models contain two-constituent material variation through the plate thickness. The equations of motion are derived from Hamilton's energy principle. The governing equations are then written in the form of Mathieu-Hill equations and then Bolotin's method is employed to determine the instability regions. The boundaries of the instability regions are represented in the dynamic load and excitation frequency plane. It is assumed that the elastic medium is modeled as Pasternak elastic medium. The effects of static and dynamic load, power law index, material length scale parameter, side-to-thickness ratio, and elastic medium parameter have been discussed. The width of the instability region for an S-FGM plate decreases with the decrease of material length scale parameter. The study is relevant to the dynamic simulation of micro structures embedded in elastic medium subjected to intense compression and tension.

The atomizing characteristics in a spray injected from a twin fluid atomization nozzle have been investigated. The Sauter mean diameters as mean diameter are compared with wavelength calculated from the instability theory. The Sauter mean diameter are measured by the Fraunhofer diffraction theory using the Malvern particle sizer. The wavelength is calculated using the mean relative velocity instead of the exit relative velocity of nozzle. Also shadowgraphy technique is used to visualize atomization. This paper gives a possibility that the mean diameter can be predicted with the wavelength obtained by the simple instability theory.

The interface between fluids of different densities is unstable under acceleration by a shock wave. A previous small amplitude linear theory for the compressible Euler equation failed to provide a quantitatively correct prediction for the growth rate of the unstable interface. In this paper, to include dominant nonlinear effects in a large amplitude regime, we present high-order perturbation equations of the Euler equation, and boundary conditions for the contact interface and shock waves.

In this research, the dynamic instability region (DIR) of the sandwich nano-beams are investigated based on nonlocal strain gradient elasticity theory (NSGET) and various higher order shear deformation beam theories (HSDBTs). The sandwich piezoelectric nano-beam is including a homogenous core and face-sheets reinforced with functionally graded (FG) carbon nanotubes (CNTs). In present study, three patterns of CNTs are employed in order to reinforce the top and bottom face-sheets of the beam. In addition, different higher-order shear deformation beam theories such as trigonometric shear deformation beam theory (TSDBT), exponential shear deformation beam theory (ESDBT), hyperbolic shear deformation beam theory (HSDBT), and Aydogdu shear deformation beam theory (ASDBT) are considered to extract the governing equations for different boundary conditions. The beam is subjected to thermal and electrical loads while is resting on Visco-Pasternak foundation. Hamilton principle is used to derive the governing equations of motion based on various shear deformation theories. In order to analysis of the dynamic instability behaviors, the linear governing equations of motion are solved using differential quadrature method (DQM). After verification with validated reference, comprehensive numerical results are presented to investigate the influence of important parameters such as various shear deformation theories, nonlocal parameter, strain gradient parameter, the volume fraction of the CNTs, various distributions of the CNTs, different boundary conditions, dimensionless geometric parameters, Visco-Pasternak foundation parameters, applied voltage and temperature change on the dynamic instability characteristics of sandwich piezoelectric nano-beam.

The present paper is concerned with the development of the computational biology in the past half century and its relationship with combustion. The modem computational biology is considered to be initiated by the work of Alan Turing on the morphogenesis in 1952. This paper first touches the life and scientific achievement of Alan Turing and his theory on the morphogenesis based on the reactive-diffusive instability, called the Turing instability. The theory of Turing instability was later extended to the nonlinear realm of the reactive-diffusive systems, which is discussed in the framework of the excitable media by using the Oregonator model. Then, combustion analogies of the Turing instability and excitable media are discussed for the cellular instability, pattern forming combustion phenomena and flame edge. Finally, the recent efforts on numerical simulations of biological systems, employing the detailed bio-chemical knietic mechanism is discussed along with the possibility of applying the numerical combustion techniques to the computational cell biology.

The dynamic instability of truncated conical shells subjected to dynamic axial load within first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) is examined. The conical shell is made from functionally graded (FG) orthotropic material. In the formulation of problem a dynamic version of Donnell's shell theory is used. The equations are converted to a Mathieu-Hill type differential equation employing Galerkin's method. The boundaries of main instability zones are found applying the method proposed by Bolotin. To verify these results, the results of other studies in the literature were compared. The influences of material gradient, orthotropy, as well as changing the geometric dimensions on the borders of the main areas of the instability are investigated.
