This problem is solved by the use of generalized functions, among which is the well known Dirac delta function. The governing differential Equation is Euler-Bernoulli beams with jump discontinuities on displacements and rotations. Also, the governing differential Equations of a Timoshenko beam with jump discontinuities in slope, deflection, flexural stiffness, and shear stiffness are obtained in the space of generalized functions. The operator of one of the governing differential Equations changes so that for both Equations the Dirac Delta function and its first distributional derivative appear in the new force terms as we present the same in a Euler-Bernoulli beam. Examples are provided to illustrate the abstract theory. This research is useful to Mechanical Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Civil Engineering, and Aerospace Engineering.展开更多

It models a class of morphological image filters called the level set method for gray image processing. We discuss the theoretical aspects of this PDE. The switch signal is controlled by the discontinuous right hand of PDE. We propose a discrete algorithm for its numerical solution and corresponding filter implementation. The study provides insights via several experiments. These types of filters are very useful in numerical image analyses.展开更多
