in this paper, we use modified laplace decomposition method to solving initial value problems (ivp) of the second order ordinary differential equations. theproposed method can be applied to linear and nonlinearproblems

condition monitoring of bldc motors due to their important applications is gaining more and more significance. rotor eccentricity is one of the most important sources of faults in these motors. up to now, detection methods of this fault under nonstationary conditions are limited to complicated and time-consuming methods using wavelets and cohen class algorithms which are difficult to implement ...

in this article we study steensen method to solve nonlinear matrix equation x+a^t x^(-1) a=q, when a is a normal matrix. we establish some conditions that generate a sequence of positive denite matrices which converges to solution of this equation.

introduction : due to the importance of laser light penetration and propagation in biological tissues, many researchers have proposed several numerical methods such as monte carlo, finite element and green function methods. among them, the monte carlo method is an accurate method which can be applied for different tissues. however, because of its statistical nature, monte carlo simulation requi...

sandwich sheet rolling process is investigated using an analytical method (slab method) and a numerical method (finite element method). the horizontal stress distribution in the layers, the rolling pressure along the contact interface and the neutral point between the roll and the sheet are investigated. then the affects of the parameters such as the friction between the sheet and the roll, she...

in this present work, the kudryashov method and the functional variable method are used to construct exact solutions of the complex kdv equation. the kudryashov method and the functional variable method are powerful methods for obtaining exact solutions of nonlinear evolution equations.
