response modification factor (r factor) is one of the seismic design parameters to be considered in evaluating the performance of buildings during strong motions. this paper has tried to evaluate the response modification factor of concrete coupled shear wall structures with various length/depth ratios of spandrel beams. the effect of diagonal reinforcement of spandrel beam was also evaluated o...

multi frequency vibrations of a system of two isotropic circular plates interconnected by a rolling visco-elastic layer that has nonlinear characteristics are considered. the system with two circular plates and interconnecting discrete continually distributed rolling visco nonlinear elastic rheological elements presents the model of hybrid nonlinear system. the analytical solutions of first asy...

an asymptotically stable direct adaptive fuzzy pi sliding modecontroller is proposed for a class of nonlinear uncertain systems. in contrast toother existing approaches of handling disturbances, the proposed approachdoes not require this bound to be known, only requiring that it exists.moreover, a pi control structure is used to attenuate chattering. the approachis applied to stabilize an open-...

in the present study, the onset of double diffusive reaction-convection in a uid layer with viscous fluid, heated and salted from below subject to chemical equilibrium on the boundaries, has been investigated. linear and nonlinear stability analysis have been performed. for linear analysis normal mode technique is used and for nonlinear analysis minimal representation of truncated fourier serie...

as an application of hirota bilinear method, perturbation expansion truncated at different levels is used to obtain exact soliton solutions to (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear evolution equation in much simpler way in comparison to other existing methods. we have derived bilinear form of nonlinear evolution equation and using this bilinear form, bilinear backlund transformations and construction of ...

In this paper, a new simple direct method to solve nonlinear Fredholm-Volterra integral equations is presented. By using Block-pulse (BP) functions, their operational matrices and Taylor expansion a nonlinear Fredholm-Volterra integral equation converts to a nonlinear system. Some numerical examples illustrate accuracy and reliability of our solutions. Also, effect of noise shows our solutions ...

This paper gives an ecient numerical method for solving the nonlinear systemof Volterra-Fredholm integral equations. A Legendre-spectral method based onthe Legendre integration Gauss points and Lagrange interpolation is proposedto convert the nonlinear integral equations to a nonlinear system of equationswhere the solution leads to the values of unknown functions at collocationpoints.

Abstract— This paper presents a novel approach to obtain fast locking PLL by embedding a nonlinear element in the loop of PLL. The nonlinear element has a general parametric Taylor expansion. Using genetic algorithm (GA) we try to optimize the nonlinear element parameters. Embedding optimized nonlinear element in the loop shows enhancements in speed and stability of PLL. To evaluate the perform...

  Nonlinear Dust lattice modes are studied in a hexagonal two-dimensional dusty plasma lattice, in presence of charge gradient of dust particles. In this lattice, such gradients affect nonlinear behavior of dust lattice waves. The amplitude modulation of off-plane transverse dust lattice wave packets is investigated considering the anisotropy of interactions, caused by the height-dependent char...
