Abstract—The effect of non-homogeneity on the free transverse vibration of thin rectangular plates of bilinearly varying thickness has been analyzed using generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method. The non-homogeneity of the plate material is assumed to arise due to linear variations in Young’s modulus and density of the plate material with the in-plane coordinates x and y . Numerical re...

Abstract– This article describes an investigation into the free vibration of double-walled carbon nanotubes (DWCNTs) using a nonlocal elastic shell model. Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity is implemented to incorporate the scale effect into the Donnell shell model. Also, the van der Waals interaction between the inner and outer nanotubes is taken into account. A new numerical solution method from i...

In this article we have considered Fredholm integro-differential equation type second-order boundary value problems and proposed a rational difference method for numerical solution of the problems. The composite trapezoidal quadrature and non-standard difference method are used to convert Fredholm integro-differential equation into a system of equations. The numerical results in experiment on s...

We consider the quadrature method developed by Kravanja, Sakurai and Van Barel (BIT 39 (1999), no. 4, 646–682) for computing all the zeros of an analytic function that lie inside the unit circle. A new perturbation result for generalized eigenvalue problems allows us to obtain a detailed upper bound for the error between the zeros and their approximations. To the best of our knowledge, it is th...

In this paper, we study a new operational numerical method for hybrid fuzzy fractional differential equations by using of the hybrid functions under generalized Caputo- type fuzzy fractional derivative. Solving two examples of hybrid fuzzy fractional differential equations illustrate the method.

In this paper, a relatively new method, namely variational iteration method (VIM), is developed for free vibration analysis of a Timoshenko beam with different boundary conditions. In the VIM, an appropriate Lagrange multiplier is first chosen according to order of the governing differential equation of the boundary value problem, and then an iteration process is used till the desired accuracy ...

This paper shows that the weighting coefficient matrices of the differential quadrature method (DQM) are centrosymmetric or skew-centrosymmetric if the grid spacings are symmetric irrespective of whether they are equal or unequal. A new skew centrosymmetric matrix is also discussed. The application of the properties of centrosymmetric and skew centrosymmetric matrix can reduce the computational...

Stochastic spectral methods are numerical techniques for approximating solutions to partial differential equations with random parameters. In this work, we present and examine the multi-element probabilistic collocation method (ME-PCM), which is a generalized form of the probabilistic collocation method. In the ME-PCM, the parametric space is discretized and a collocation/cubature grid is presc...

We investigate recovery of through-the-thickness transverse normal and shear strains and stresses in statically deformed functionally graded (FG) doubly-curved sandwich shell structures and shells of revolution using the generalized zigzag displacement field and the Carrera Unified Formulation (CUF). Three different through-the-thickness distributions of the volume fractions of constituents and...

In this workwe propose and analyze a fully discretemodifiedCrank–Nicolson finite element (CNFE)method with quadrature for solving semilinear second-order hyperbolic initial-boundary value problems. We prove optimal-order convergence in both time and space for the quadrature-modified CNFE scheme that does not require nonlinear algebraic solvers. Finally, we demonstrate numerically the order of c...
