in this work, we conduct a comparative study among the combine laplace transform and modied adomian decomposition method (lmadm) and two traditional methods for an analytic and approximate treatment of special type of nonlinear volterra integro-differential equations of the second kind. the nonlinear part of integro-differential is approximated by adomian polynomials, and the equation is red...

in this paper, the nonlinear free vibrations of thin symmetric and non-symmetric cross-ply composite plates subjected to biaxial initial stresses are investigated. because of their excellent properties such as specific strength and specific stiffness, composite plates have wide applications in aerospace and mechanical structures. based on von-karman's strain-displacement relations and using gal...

this article studied static deflection, natural frequency and nonlinear vibration of a clamped-clamped microbeam under discontinues electrostatic actuation. the electrostatic actuation was induced by applying ac-dc voltage between the microbeam and electrode plate. in contrast to previous works, it was assumed that length of the electrode plate was smaller than that of the microbeam. in additio...

recently, abbasbandy and asady have been proposed a modificationof the distance based approach, namely ``sign distance method''.however, in this paper, it is shown that this method has some drawbacks, i.e.,the result is not consistent with human intuition for specialcases and this method cannot always logically infer rankingorder of the images of the fuzzy numbers. in this paper, wepresent a re...

a simple, sensitive, accurate and precise simultaneous uv spectrophotometric method has been developed for the estimation of carisoprodol, paracetamol and caffeine in tablet dosage form. the absorption maxima of the drugs were found to be 221, 248 and 273 nm for carisoprodol, paracetamol and caffeine respectively, in methanol, using a double beam uv/visible spectrophotometer. carisoprodol, para...

this paper presents new sensitivity-based methods for detection of structural damage using incomplete noisy modal data. these methods are based on the first-order derivative of modal parameters. changes of natural frequency do not usually provide spatial information on the structural damage. they are also not sensitive to the local damage. in this paper, a new sensitivity function is proposed u...

sedimentation is one of the most important problems in harbors that results in considerable economic costs. harbor planforms affects the flow pattern in the harbor basin and consequently, plays an important role in sediment transport and sedimentation. in the present study, a two dimensional depth-averaged hydrodynamic and sediment transport model has been developed to investigate the effect of...

in this paper, we give an analytical approximate solution for an integro- differential equation which describes the charged particle motion for certain configurations of oscillating magnetic fields is considered. the homotopy analysis method (ham) is used for solving this equation. several examples are given to reconfirm the efficiency of these algorithms. the results of applying this procedure...

recently, gasimov and yenilmez proposed an approach for solving two kinds of fuzzy linear programming (flp) problems. through the approach, each flp problem is first defuzzified into an equivalent crisp problem which is non-linear and even non-convex. then, the crisp problem is solved by the use of the modified subgradient method. in this paper we will have another look at the earlier defuzzifi...

this paper presents an overview of model updating and particularly its application for updating of frame model. in this article a mathematical model of the frame was produced with finite element method. the frame was subjected to hammer modal testing. then the results of the modal testing were compared with those predicted with the model. this comparison revealed discrepancies between these two...
