The pth moment Lyapunov exponent of a two-codimension bifurcation system excited parametrically by a real noise is investigated.By a linear stochastic transformation,the differential operator of the system is obtained.In order to evaluate the asymptotic expansion of the moment Lyapunov exponent,via a perturbation method,a ralevant eigenvalue problem is obtained.The eigenvalue problem is then solved by a Fourier cosine series expansion,and an infinite matrix is thus obtained,whose leading eigenvalue is the second-order of the asymptotic expansion of the moment Lyapunov exponent.Finally,the convergence of procedure is numerically illustrated,and the effects of the system and the noise parameters on the moment Lyapunov exponent are discussed.
Based on the theory of the complex variable functions, the analysis of non-axisymmetric thermal stresses in a finite matrix containing a circular inclusion with functionally graded interphase is presented by means of the least square boundary collocation technique. The distribution of thermal stress for the functionally graded interphase layer with arbitrary radial material parameters is derived by using the method of piece-wise homogeneous layers when the finite matrix is subjected to uniform heat flow. The effects of matrix size, interphase thickness and compositional gradient on the interfacial thermal stress are discussed in detail. Numerical results show that the magnitude and distribution of interfacial thermal stress in the inclusion and matrix can be designed properly by controlling these parameters.
