In this paper, the effect of mathematical representation method of an MR damper on the performance of control algorithm is investigated. The most exact and common Maxwel Nonlinear Slider (MNS) and modified Bouc-Wen hysteretic models are employed through a nonlinear  comparatve numerical study. In many of semi-active control algorithms, a mathematical modelling method is required for determinig ...

the purpose of this study is to implement a new modification of the variational iteration method (h-s-vim), which is a combination of spectral method and variational iteration method for heat transfer problems with high nonlinearity order. the merit of this method is that it does not require the solution of any linear or nonlinear system of equations unlike spectral method. furthermore the prop...
