Hemivariational Inequalities: Applications in Mechanics and Engineering
The purpose of the current publication is the formula, mathematical examine and numerical therapy of static and dynamic difficulties in mechanics and engineering sciences regarding nonconvex and nonsmooth power services, or nonmonotone and multivalued stress-strain legislation. Such difficulties bring about a brand new kind of variational types, the hemivariational inequalities, which additionally result in multivalued differential or critical equations.

7 kJ/kg. 6 Joule Cycle The Joule cycle is implemented in turbomachines (gas turbines). Such machines were tested about 25 years ago as direct propulsion systems for automobiles. The Firebird gas turbines of General Motors were made in two variants, 147 kW and 271 kW. However, much more interesting is the use of gas turbines as on-board current generators for automobiles, providing energy for electric propulsion. Such a hybrid configuration has been successfully tested in prototypes. The Joule cycle consists of two isobaric sequences (heat input + expansion, heat release + compression) and two isentropic sequences (compression, expansion).
2 ηthT ¼ 0:561 ð2:5Þ Stirling Cycle The Carnot cycle has maximal thermal efficiency because of complete utilization of the warm and cold sources at the given temperatures Tmax and Tmin, as demonstrated by the lines in the T versus entropy (s) diagram: With ηth ¼ wk qzu À jqab j jq j ¼ ¼ 1 À ab qzu qzu qzu and Z q¼ Tds it can be deduced that a horizontal line AB corresponds to complete exploitation of the warm source at Tmax: qzu ¼ qmax Similarly, for a horizontal line CD at Tmin: qab ¼ qmin Therefore ηth, max ¼1À jqab jmin qzu, max It seems to be evident that maximum thermal efficiency is only given for a square process in the T–s diagram.
8 dm3 is based on a compression ratio of ε ¼ 12, which corresponds to current development tendencies for direct fuel injection. 416 g was calculated. The extreme temperatures Tmax and Tmin have the same values as for the Carnot and Stirling cycles. The obtained values are as follows: 44 Fig. 15 The thermal efficiency ηth ¼ 0:63 is unchanged at full and partial load. – The negative scavenging work, intensified by throttling, was not considered in this calculation. The avoidance of throttling in gasoline engines from full to partial load is the subject of new developments facilitated by internal mixture formation when applying direct fuel injection.
