Wedge disclination in the field theory of elastoplasticity

In this paper we study the wedge disclination within the elastoplastic defect theory. Using the stress function method we found exact analytical solutions for all characteristic fields of a straight wedge disclination in a cylinder. The elastic stress, elastic strain, elastic bend-twist, displacement and rotation have no singularities at the disclination line. We found a modified stress function for the wedge disclination.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure

Affine symmetry in mechanics of collective and internal modes. Part I. Classical models

Discussed is a model of collective and internal degrees of freedom with kinematics based on affine group and its subgroups. The main novelty in comparison with the previous attempts of this kind is that it is not only kinematics but also dynamics that is affinely-invariant. The relationship with the dynamics of integrable one-dimensional lattices is discussed. It is shown that affinely-invariant geodetic models may encode the dynamics of something like elastic vibrations

Relations between structural and dynamic thermal characteristics of building walls

The effect of internal thermal structure on dynamic characteristics of walls is analyzed. The concept of structure factors is introduced and the conditions they impose on response factors are given. Simple examples of multilayer walls, representing different types of thermal resistance and capacity distribution, are analyzed to illustrate general relations between structure factors and response factors. The idea of the ``thermally equivalent wall``, a plane multilayer structure, with dynamic characteristics similar to those of a complex structure, in which three-dimensional heat flow occurs, is presented

PV/Wind hybrid system for the low energy family house

Przeprowadzono analizę funkcjonowania w ciągu 10-ciu lat hybrydowej instalacji solarno-wiatrowej, zaopatrującej w energię elektryczną mały energooszczędny dom jednorodzinny, w warunkach klimatu Warszawy. Równocześnie obliczono zapotrzebowanie budynku na ciepło, przy wykorzystaniu danych pogodowych Typowego Roku Meteorologicznego, oraz energię na przygotowanie ciepłej wody użytkowej. Instalacja może dostarczyć średnio 75% potrzebnej energii elektrycznej i dodatkowo 26% energii na cwu.Photovoltaic-wind hybrid system for the low energy small family house with four inhabitants has been analyzed, using 10-year hourly meteorological data for Warsaw. Energy demand for space heating has been calculated using the Typical Meteorological Year data, together with energy demand for domestic water heating. The system can deliver, on average, 75% of the necessary energy for electricity and 26% for water heating
