this paper deals with new method for designing the tuned mass dampers (tmd) with considering both transient and steady state responses, simultaneously. this formulation is presented for undamped vibrations. for this purpose, the absolute value of the structural displacement ratio is minimized numerically. this procedure leads to optimum value of tmd's specifications. for numerical verification,...

this paper presents an analytical view of variance reduction by control variate technique for pricing arithmetic asian options as a financial derivatives. in this paper, the effect of correlation between two random variables is shown. we propose an efficient method for choose suitable control in pricing arithmetic asian options based on the control variates (cv). the numerical experiment shows ...

in this paper, we present a new computational technique for solving nonlinear fredholm integral equations of the second kind. this proposed method is based on galerkin method and is computationally very attractive. moreover, for reducing the operations in comparing similar works, we design our algorithm based on transformations of orthogonal polynomials in approximation coefficients calculating...

In this paper we continue the study begun by Kawohl and Sweers of the precise constant at which the elastic foundation supporting a bending plate can allow lift-off in the case of downward loading. We provide a number of numerical results and a rigorous result on a different counterexample than the one suggested in Kawohl and Sweers (2002). Important open problems are summarized at the conclusion.

in this paper, we present an efficient method for determining the solution of the stochastic second kind volterra integral equations (svie) by using the taylor expansion method. this method transforms the svie to a linear stochastic ordinary differential equation which needs specified boundary conditions. for determining boundary conditions, we use the integration technique. this technique give...

the main aim is to study the two dimensional axisymmetric problem of thick circular plate in modified couple stress theory with heat and mass diffusive sources. the thermoelastic theories with mass diffusion developed by sherief et al. [1] and kumar and kansal [2] have been used to investigate the problem. laplace and hankel transforms technique is applied to obtain the solutions of the governi...
