Abstract: One of the major limitations of the conventional Ritz method is its difficulty in implementation to the differential equations with natural boundary conditions at the boundary points/lines. Plates ...

Abstract: In this paper, a mixed method that combines the Ritz method and the triangular quadrature rule (TQR) is presented for solving time-dependent problems. In this study, the Ritz method is first ...

Abstract: In discrete-time systems, instead of having a hyperplane as in the continuous case, there is a countable set of points comprising a so-called lattice; and the surface on which these sliding ...

Abstract: In this paper, a new version of mixed finite element–differential quadrature formulation is presented for solving time-dependent problems. The governing partial differential equation of motion of ...

Abstract: The fabrication of a functional part requires very high layer quality in the Fused Deposition (FD) processes. The constant deposition flow rate currently used in FD technology cannot meet this ...

Abstract: Drilling and blasting method has been used for many years in underground excavations and still is very popular because of its many advantages. Blast performance is ordinarily measured by specific charge and by explosive ...

Abstract: Flexibility and aeroelastic behaviors in large space structures can lead to degradation of control system stability and performance. The model reference adaptive notch filter is an effective ...
