The vibration control equations are derived based on the multibody system method. A numerical procedure for solving the resulting differential algebraic equations is presented on the basis of the Newmark direct integration method combined with the Newton-Raphson iterative method. The sub beams are treated as small deformation in the convected coordinate systems, which can greatly simplify the deformation description. The rigid motions of the sub beams are taken into account through the motions of the convected coordinate systems. Numerical ex- amples are carried out, where results show the effectiveness of the proposed method.展开更多

The flow in boundary layer is considered to be generated solely by the stretching of the sheet adjacent to porous medium with boundary wall slip condition. Highly nonlinear momentum and thermal boundary layer equations governing the flow and heat transfer are reduced to set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by appropriate transformation. The resulting ODEs are successfully solved numerically with the help of shooting method. Graphical results are shown for non-dimensional velocities and temperature. The effects of heat generation/absorption parameter, the porous parameter, the viscoelastic parameter, velocity slip parameter, variable thermal conductivity and the Prandtl number on the flow and temperature profiles are presented. Moreover, the local skin-friction coefficient and Nusselt number are presented. Comparison of numerical results is made with the earlier published results under limiting cases.展开更多

These systems are associated with the loop algebras L(C_r) and L(D_r) inthe sense that their Lax matrices can he realized in terms of the c = 0 representations of theaffine Lie algebras C_r~((1)) and D_r~((1)) and the interactions pattern involved bears the typicalcharacters of the corresponding root systems. We present the equations of motion and the Hamiltoninnstructure. These generalized systems can be identified unambiguously by specifying the underlyingloop algebra together with an ordered pair of integers (n, m). It turns out that different systemsassociated with the same underlying loop algebra but with different pairs of integers (n_1, m_1) and(n_2, m_2) with n_2 【 n_1 and m_2 【 m_2 can be related by a nested Hamiltonian reduction procedure.For all nontrivial generalizations, the extra coordinates besides the standard Toda variables arePoisson non-commute, and when either n or m ≥ 3, the Poisson structure for the extra coordinatevariables becomes some Lie algebra (i.e. the extra variables appear linearly on the right-hand sideof the Poisson brackets). In the quantum case, such generalizations will become systems withnoncommutative variables without spoiling the integrability.展开更多

It is implemented into the dynamic analysis of three dimensional coupled vehicle-slab track (3D-CVST) systems. The vehicle is treated as a 35-degree- of-freedom multi-body system, and the slab track is represented by two continuous Bernoulli-Euler beams supported by a se- ries of elastic rectangle plates on a viscoelastic foundation. The rail pad model takes into account the influences of the excita- tion frequency and of the displacement amplitude through a fractional derivative element, and a nonlinear friction element, re- spectively. The Granwald representation of the fractional derivatives is employed to numerically solve the fractional and non- linear equations of motion of the 3D-CVST system by means of an explicit integration algorithm. A dynamic analysis of the 3D-CVST system exposed to excitations of rail harmonic irregularities is primarily carried out, which reveals the dependence of stiffness and damping on excitation frequency and displacement amplitude. Subsequently, sensitive analyses of the model parameters are investigated by conducting the dynamic analysis of the 3D-CVST system subjected to excitations of welded rail joint irregularities. Following this, parameters of the rail pad model are optimized with respect to experimental values. For elu- cidation, the 3D-CVST dynamic model incorporated with the rail pads model is used to calculate the wheel/rail forces induced by excitations of measured random track irregularities. Further, the numerical results are compared with experimental data, demonstrating the reliability of the proposed model.展开更多

Phase one of the algorithm is the gradient projection method, while phase two is any algorithm for solving a linearly constrained optimization problem. Rules are provided for branching between the two phases. Global convergence to a stationary point is established, while asymptotically PASA performs only phase two when either a nondegeneracy assumption holds, or the active constraints are linearly independent and a strong second-order sufficient optimality condition holds.展开更多

We assume that the incidence rate of infection and removal rate of infected cells are given by general nonlinear functions. The model can be seen as a generalization of several humoral immunity viral infection model presented in the literature. We derive two threshold parameters and establish a set of conditions on the general functions which are sufficient to establish the existence and global stability of the three equilibria of the model. We study the globa! asymptotic stability of the equilibria by using Lyapunov method. We perform some numerical simulations for the model with specific forms of the general functions and show that the numerical results are consistent with the theoretical results.展开更多

The governing partial differential equations for momentum, heat, oxygen and micro-organism conser- vation are reduced to a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity transformations that are numerically solved using a built-in MATLAB ODE solver. The effects of the bioconvection parameters on the nanofluid fluid properties, nanoparticle concentration and the density of the micro-organism are analyzed. A comparative anal- ysis of our results with those previously reported in the literature is given. Among the significant findings in this study is that bioconvection parameters highly influence beat, mass and motile micro-organism transfer rates.展开更多
