In this study, fractional differential transform method (FDTM), which is a semi analytical-numerical technique, is used for computing the eigenelements of the Sturm-Liouville problems of fractional order. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. Three problems are solved by the present method. The calculated results are compared closely with the results obtained by some exi...

In this paper the analytical formulation of frequency domain analysis is reviewed, under a unifying approach, for deterministic and random dynamic loading. In the random case both stationary and nonstationary excitations are considered. It is shown how, in all cases, a complex linear system must be solved at each frequency step; if the solutions are carried on independently, the solution cost g...

IT wAs a stimulating experience to know and collaborate with C. P. Ramanujam. He loved mathematics and he was always ready to take up a new thread or to pursue an old one with infectious enthusiasm. He was equally ready to discuss a problem with a first year student or a colleague, to work through an elementary point or to puzzle over a deep problem. On the other hand, he had very high standard...
