A two-parameter multiple shooting method and its application to the natural vibrations of non-prismatic multi-segment beams

This paper presents an enhanced version of the standard shooting method that enables problems with two unknown parameters to be solved.A novel approach is applied to the analysis of the natural vibrations of Euler-Bernoulli beams.The proposed algorithm,named as two-parameter multiple shooting method,is a new powerful numerical tool for calculating the natural frequencies and modes of multi-segment prismatic and non-prismatic beams with different boundary conditions.The impact of the axial force and additional point masses is also taken into account.Due to the fact that the method is based directly on the fourth-order ordinary differential equation,the structures do not have to be divided into many small elements to obtain an accurate enough solution,even though the geometry is very complex.To verify the proposed method,three different examples are considered,i.e.,a three-segment non-prismatic beam,a prismatic column subject to non-uniformly distributed compressive loads,and a two-segment beam with an additional point mass.Numerical analyses are carried out with the software MATHEMATICA.The results are compared with the solutions computed by the commercial finite element program SOFiSTiK.Good agreement is achieved,which confirms the correctness and high effectiveness of the formulated algorithm.

Prestack migration velocity analysis based on simplified two-parameter moveout equation

Stacking velocity V_（C2）,vertical velocity ratio γ_0,effective velocity ratio γ_（eff）,and anisotropic parameter x_（eff） are correlated in the PS-converted-wave（PS-wave） anisotropic prestack Kirchhoff time migration（PKTM） velocity model and are thus difficult to independently determine.We extended the simplified two-parameter（stacking velocity V_（C2） and anisotropic parameter k_（eff）） moveout equation from stacking velocity analysis to PKTM velocity model updating and formed a new four-parameter（stacking velocity V_（C2）,vertical velocity ratio γ_0,effective velocity ratio γ_（eff）,and anisotropic parameter k_（eff）） PS-wave anisotropic PKTM velocity model updating and process flow based on the simplified twoparameter moveout equation.In the proposed method,first,the PS-wave two-parameter stacking velocity is analyzed to obtain the anisotropic PKTM initial velocity and anisotropic parameters;then,the velocity and anisotropic parameters are corrected by analyzing the residual moveout on common imaging point gathers after prestack time migration.The vertical velocity ratio γ_0 of the prestack time migration velocity model is obtained with an appropriate method utilizing the P- and PS-wave stacked sections after level calibration.The initial effective velocity ratio γ_（eff） is calculated using the Thomsen（1999） equation in combination with the P-wave velocity analysis;ultimately,the final velocity model of the effective velocity ratio γ_（eff） is obtained by percentage scanning migration.This method simplifies the PS-wave parameter estimation in high-quality imaging,reduces the uncertainty of multiparameter estimations,and obtains good imaging results in practice.

Buckling analysis of shear deformable composite conical shells reinforced by CNTs subjected to combined loading on the two-parameter elastic foundation

The main objective of this study is to investigate the buckling analysis of CCSs reinforced by CNTs subjected to combined loading of hydrostatic pressure and axial compression resting on the twoparameter elastic foundation(T-P-EF).It is one of the first attempts to derive the governing equations of the CCSs reinforced with CNTs,based on a generalized first-order shear deformation shell theory(FSDST)which includes shell-foundation interaction.By adopting the extended mixing rule,the effective material properties of CCSs reinforced by CNTs with linear distributions are approximated by introducing some efficiency parameters.Three carbon nanotube distribution in the matrix,i.e.uniform distribution(U)and V and X-types linear distribution are taken into account.The stability equations are solved by using the Galerkin procedure to determine the combined buckling loads(CBLs)of the structure selected here.The numerical illustrations cover CBLs characteristics of CCSs reinforced by CNTs in the presence of the T-P-EF.Finally,a parametric study is carried out to study the influences of the foundation parameters,the volume fraction of carbon nanotubes and the types of reinforcement on the CBLs.

A New Two-Parameter Heteromorphic Elliptic Equation: Properties and Applications

The ellipse and the superellipse are both planar closed curves with a double axis of symmetry. Here we show the isoconcentration contour of the simplified two-dimensional advection-diffusion equation from a stable line source in the center of a wide river. A new two-parameter heteromorphic elliptic equation with a single axis of symmetry is defined. The values of heights, at the point of the maximum width and that of the centroid of the heteromorphic ellipse, are derived through mathematical analysis. Taking the compression coefficient θ = b/a = 1 as the criterion, the shape classification of H-type, Standard-type and W-type for heteromorphic ellipse have been given. The area formula, the perimeter theorem, and the radius of curvature of heteromorphic ellipses, and the geometric properties of the rotating body are subsequently proposed. An illustrative analysis shows that the inner contour curve of a heteromorphic elliptic tunnel has obvious advantages over the multiple- arc splicing cross section. This work demonstrates that the heteromorphic ellipses have extensive prospects of application in all categories of tunnels, liquid transport tanks, aircraft and submarines, bridges, buildings, furniture, and crafts.

A GENERAL FORM OF THE INCREMENTS OF A TWO-PARAMETER WIENER PROCESS

In this paper, we consider a general form of the increments for a two-parameter Wiener process. Both the Csorgo-Revesz's increments and a class of the lag increments are the special cases of this general form of increments. Our results imply the theorem that have been given by Csorgo and Revesz (1978), and some of their conditions are removed.

A new two-parameter formula for the rotational spectra of well deformed nuclei isproposed. The formula is deduced from experimental level systematics and alternatively fromnuclear hydrodynamics. Comparisons with a great number of rotational spectra of even-even nu-clei in rare-earth and actinides region show that the formula is the best one among all two-pa-rameter formulas. It is pointed out that this formula can be applied to the spin assignment forsuperdeformed band.

Analysis of vibration stability of fluid conveying pipe on the two-parameter foundation with elastic support boundary conditions

In this study,the vibration stability of fluid conveying pipe resting on two-parameter foundation is in-vestigated under four different elastic support boundary conditions.The harmonic differential quadrature(HDQ)method is applied to solve the governing vibration equation derived based on Euler–Bernoulli beam theory subject to the elastic foundation and boundary conditions.As a result,a general set of second-order ordinary differential equations emerges,and by appropriately setting the stiffness of the end springs,one can easily study the dynamics of various systems with classical or non-classical bound-ary conditions.The numerical simulations are conducted to study the pipe instability performance with respect to various boundary conditions,elastic support parameters,elastic foundation parameters and fluid mass ratios.The numerical model is validated by comparison with published data.It is found that the elastic support boundary conditions have significant effects on the stability of pipe resting on elas-tic foundation.The pipe stability performance is very sensitive to the two elastic foundation parameters.Larger fluid mass ratio enhances the pipe flutter stability performance but has no effects on the diver-gence.

Entanglement for a two-parameter class of states in a high-dimension bipartite quantum system

The entanglement for a two-parameter class of states in a high-dimension (m n,n≥m≥3) bipartite quantum system is discussed.The negativity (N) and the relative entropy of entanglement (Er) are calculated,and the analytic expressions are obtained.Finally the relation between the negativity and the relative entropy of entanglement is discussed.The result demonstrates that all PPT states of the two-parameter class of states are separable,and all entangled states are NPT states.Different from the 2 ? n quantum system,the negativity for a two-parameter class of states in high dimension is not always greater than or equal to the relative entropy of entanglement.The more general relation expression is mN/2≥Er.
