The physical characteristics of a heated non-Newtonian Eyring–Powell fluid in a conduit with sinusoidally moving ciliated walls are highlighted in this analytical study. The impact of mass transmission is considered in this model. The dimensional form of the governing equations is simplified using the long-wavelength estimation and suitable transformations to produce a set of dimensionless partial differential equations with pertinent boundary conditions. To solve it, the perturbation technique is utilized applying polynomial solutions. The solutions of temperature, concentrations, and velocity profiles are obtained, and then are further analyzed through graphical results. An accurate mathematical solution for the pressure gradient is achieved by integrating the velocity profile over the elliptic cross-section. The non-Newtonian Eyring–Powell fluid flows quicker through this vertical ciliated elliptic duct than the Newtonian fluid. Moreover, the cilia elliptic movement eccentricity and the wave number for metachronal wave have a dual effect on the velocity profile. Increasing the dimensionless flow rate and occlusion leads to an increase in closed contour size, as seen in the streamline description. Full article

A graph-theoretical approach to the analysis of motion and rest in many-body systems is developed. Point bodies are represented as vertices of a complete bi-colored graph, termed the motion–rest graph (MRG). Two vertices are connected by a rust-colored edge when the corresponding bodies are at rest relative to each other; that is, when their mutual distance remains constant in time, bodies moving relative to each other are connected by a cyan edge. It is shown that the logical structure of the relation “to be at rest relative to each other” determines the combinatorial structure of the graph. For one-dimensional motion in classical mechanics and special relativity, this relation is reflexive, symmetric, and transitive, and therefore defines an equivalence relation. As a result, rust edges form disjoint complete cliques corresponding to rest-clusters, and the MRG becomes a semi-transitive complete bi-colored graph that is completely determined by the partition of the bodies into equivalence classes. It is proven that any such graph on five vertices necessarily contains a monochromatic triangle. For two- and three-dimensional motion, the transitivity of relative rest generally fails because constant mutual distance does not imply an equality of velocities in the presence of rotational degrees of freedom. In this case, the MRG is non-transitive, and the Ramsey threshold becomes the classical value R(3,3) = 6. The approach is extended to mixed sets containing moving bodies and reference points, including the center of mass of the system. Generalizations to general relativity and quantum mechanics are also discussed. In general relativity, transitivity of relative rest is generically lost because global rigid congruences do not generally exist. In quantum mechanics, exact transitivity survives only at the level of idealized delocalized eigenstates, whereas for physically realizable localized states, the notion of mutual rest becomes only approximate. The results demonstrate that the interplay between kinematics, logical properties of relational motion, and Ramsey-type combinatorial constraints gives rise to unavoidable ordered substructures in many-body systems.

The results of the development and practical application of a comprehensive system for studying gear cutting processes are presented. The processes are traditional hobbing, modern power skiving, and radial-circular methods. Carrying out these processes is based on the gear teeth continuous generating method using complex kinematics. This complicates the analysis, description and modeling of the processes. The developed system provides for a logical sequence of step-by-step modeling and simulation of interrelated processes and phenomena accompanying gear processing. Reproducing volumetric chips and calculating their parameters provides the basis for determining deformation and contact processes, cutting forces, elastic deformations, machining accuracy and energy costs per operation. After establishing the operation to overcome friction and heat flows, the degree of heating and the temperature of the working surfaces are calculated to predict tool wear and its service life. Based on the parametric non-uniformity of the considered processes, the intensity of oscillations and vibrations of gear cutting machines is predicted, and their impact on the quality of gear surfaces and the accuracy of gears is determined. These approaches enable the study of such processes at the level of individual teeth and blades during cutting. They also allow gear cutting technology and cutting tools to be optimized according to the most important criteria and performance assessments. Full article
