Existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for an elastic beam equation

This paper investigates the boundary value problem for elastic beam equation of the formu″″（t） q（t）f（t, u（t）,u′（t）,u″（t）,u′″（t））, 0〈t〈1,with the boundary conditionsu=（0）=u′（1）=u″（0）=u′″（1）=0.The boundary conditions describe the deformation of an elastic beam simply supported at left and clamped at right by sliding clamps. By using Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternate, Leray-Schauder fixed point theorem and a fixed point theorem due to Avery and Peterson, we establish some results on the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions to the boundary value problem. Our results extend and improve some recent work in the literature.

SOME MULTIPLICITY RESULTS FOR AN ELASTIC BEAM EQUATION AT RESONANCE

This paper deals with multiplicity results for nonlinear elastic equations of the typewheregi[0,1] X R R satisfies Caratheodory condition L2[0,1]. The solvability of this problem has been studied by several authors, but there isn't any multiplicity result until now to the author's knowledge. By combining the Lyapunov-Schmidt procedure with the technique of connected set, we establish several multiplicity results under suitable condition.

On Reducibility of Beam Equation with Quasi-periodic Forcing Potential

In this paper, the Dirichlet boundary value problems of the nonlinear beam equation utt ＋ △^2u ＋ αu ＋ εφ（t）（u ＋ u^3） = 0 , α 〉 0 in the dimension one is considered, where u（t,x） and φ（t） are analytic quasi-periodic functions in t, and e is a small positive real-number parameter. It is proved that the above equation admits a small-amplitude quasi-periodic solution. The proof is based on an infinite dimensional KAM iteration procedure.

Sound field prediction of ultrasonic lithotripsy in water with spheroidal beam equations

With converged shock wave, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy（ESWL） has become a preferable way to crush human calculi because of its advantages of efficiency and non-intrusion. Nonlinear spheroidal beam equations（SBE） are employed to illustrate the acoustic wave propagation for transducers with a wide aperture angle. To predict the acoustic field distribution precisely, boundary conditions are obtained for the SBE model of the monochromatic wave when the source is located on the focus of an ESWL transducer. Numerical results of the monochromatic wave propagation in water are analyzed and the influences of half-angle, fundamental frequency, and initial pressure are investigated. According to our results, with optimization of these factors, the pressure focal gain of ESWL can be enhanced and the effectiveness of treatment can be improved.

Quasi-periodic Solutions of the General Nonlinear Beam Equations

In this paper, one-dimensional （1D） nonlinear beam equations of the form utt - uxx ＋ uxxxx ＋ mu = f （u） with Dirichlet boundary conditions are considered, where the nonlinearity f is an analytic, odd function and f（u） = O（u3）. It is proved that for all m ∈ （0, M＊] R （M＊ is a fixed large number）, but a set of small Lebesgue measure, the above equations admit small-amplitude quasi-periodic solutions corresponding to finite dimensional invariant tori for an associated infinite dimensional dynamical system. The proof is based on an infinite dimensional KAM theory and a partial Birkhoff normal form technique.

TRAVELING WAVE SOLUTIONS TO BEAM EQUATION WITH FAST-INCREASING NONLINEAR RESTORING FORCES

On studying traveling waves on a nonlinearly suspended bridge,the following partial differential equation has been considered:\$\$u\-\{tt\}+u\-\{xxxx\}+f(u)=0,\$\$where f(u)=u\++-1 .Here the bridge is seen as a vibrating beam supported by cables,which are treated as a spring with a one\|sided restoring force.The existence of a traveling wave solution to the above piece\|wise linear equation has been proved by solving the equation explicitly (McKenna & Walter in 1990).Recently the result has been extended to a group of equations with more general nonlinearities such as f(u)=u\++-1+g(u) (Chen & McKenna,1997).However,the restrictions on g(u) do not allow the resulting restoring force function to increase faster than the linear function u-1 for u >1.Since an interesting “multiton” behavior,that is ,two traveling waves appear to emerge intact after interacting nonlinearly with each other,has been observed in numerical experiments for a fast\|increasing nonlinearity f(u)=e u-1 -1 ,it hints that the conclusion of the existence of a traveling wave solution with fast\|increasing nonlinearities shall be valid as well.\;In this paper,the restoring force function of the form f(u)=u·h(u)-1 is considered.It is shown that a traveling wave solution exists when h(u)≥1 for u≥1 (with other assumptions which will be detailed in the paper),and hence allows f to grow faster than u-1 .It is shown that a solution can be obtained as a saddle point in a variational formulation.It is also easy to construct such fast\|increasing f(u) 's for more numerical tests.

A Random Attractor Family of the High Order Beam Equations with White Noise

In this paper, we studied a class of damped high order Beam equation stochas-tic dynamical systems with white noise. First, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is used to transform the equation into a noiseless random equation with random variables as parameters. Secondly, by estimating the solution of the equation, we can obtain the bounded random absorption set. Finally, the isomorphism mapping method and compact embedding theorem are used to obtain the system. It is progressively compact, then we can prove the existence of ran-dom attractors.

Attractor for the Extensible Beam Equation with Nonlocal Weak Damping on Time–Dependent Space

In this article,we consider the long-time behavior of extensible beams with nonlocal weak damping:ε(t)u_(tt)+Δ^(2)u-m(‖▽u‖^(2))Δu+‖u_(t)‖^(p_(u_(t)))+f(u)=h,whereε(t)is a decreasing function vanishing at infinity.Within the theory of process on time-dependent spaces,we investigate the existence of the time-dependent attractor by using the Condition(C_(t))method and more detailed estimates.The results obtained essentially improve and complete some previous works.

On Applications of Generalized Functions in the Discontinuous Beam Bending Differential Equations

This paper discusses the mathematical modeling for the mechanics of solid using the distribution theory of Schwartz to the beam bending differential Equations. 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.

GENERAL DYNAMIC EQUATION AND DYNAMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF VISCOELASTIC TIMOSHENKO BEAMS

In this paper, a governing differential equation of viscoelastic Timoshenko beam including both extension and shear viscosity is developed in the time domain by direct method. To measure the complex moduli and three parameters of standard linear solid, the forced vibration technique of beam is successfully used for PCL and PMMA specimens. The dynamical characteristics of viscoelastic Timoshenko beams, especially the damping properties, are derived from a considerable number of numerical computations. The analyses show that the viscosity of materials has great influence on dynamical characteristics of structures, especially on damping, and the standard linear solid model is the better one for describing the dynamic behavior of high viscous materials.

Periodic Solutions for a Damped Rayleigh Beam Model with Time Delay

Vibrations of a beam can be described as an Euler-Bernoulli beam,or as a Rayleigh beam or as a Timoshenko beam.In this paper,we establish the existence of periodic solutions in time for a damped Rayleigh beam model with time delay,which is treated as a bifurcation parameter.The main proof is based on a Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction together with the classical implicit function theorem.Moreover,we give a sufficient condition for a direction of bifurcation.

Based on the differential equation of the deflection curve for the beam,the equation of the deflection curve for the simple beamis obtained by integral. The equation of the deflection curve for the simple beamcarrying the linear load is generalized,and then it is expanded into the corresponding Fourier series.With the obtained summation results of the infinite series,it is found that they are related to Bernoulli num-bers and π. The recurrent formula of Bernoulli numbers is presented. The relationships among the coefficients of the beam,Bernoulli numbers and Euler numbers are found,and the relative mathematical formulas are presented.

Identification of variable coefficients for vibrating systems by boundary control and observation

We consider the identification problem of coefficients for vibrating systems described by a Euler-Bernoulli beam eq~. ation Or a string equation, with one end clamped and with an input exerted on the other end. For the beam equation, the observations are the velocity and the angle velocity at the free end, while for the string equation, the observation is the velocity at the free end. In the framework of well-posed linear system theory, we show that both the density and the flexural rigidity of the beam, and the tension of the string, can be uniquely determined by the observations for all positive times. Moreover, a general constructive method is developed to show that the mass density and the elastic modulus of the string are not determined by the observation.

Study of the temperature rise induced by a focusing transducer with a wide aperture angle on biological tissue containing ribs

We used the spheroidal beam equation to calculate the sound field created by focusing a transducer with a wide aperture angle to obtain the heat deposition, and then we used the Pennes bioheat equation to calculate the temperature field in biological tissue with ribs and to ascertain the effects of rib parameters on the temperature field. The results show that the location and the gap width between the ribs have a great influence on the axial and radial temperature rise of multilayer biological tissue. With a decreasing gap width, the location of the maximum temperature rise moves forward; as the ribs are closer to the transducer surface, the sound energy that passes through the gap between the ribs at the focus decreases, the maximum temperature rise decreases, and the location of the maximum temperature rise moves forward with the ribs.
