We develop an approach to reduce the governing equation of motion for the nonlinear vibration of a clamped laminated composite to the Duffing equation in a decoupled modal form. The method of weighted residuals enables such a reduction for laminates with clamped boundary conditions. Both rigidly clamped and loosely clamped boundary conditions are analyzed using this method. The reduction method...

Abstract The influence of compressive forces on the lower and upper natural frequencies double beams has been studied in this article. Euler–Bernoulli’s hypotheses have used to derive frequency equations. Two asymmetric were assumed work, four different boundary conditions applied these equations: Pinned–Pinned, Clamped–Clamped, Clamped–Free, Clamped–Pinned. When axial force is increased about ...

Multilevel inputs are capable of generating nearly sinusoidal waveform. The three level inverters use a source with two numbers of capacitors. The operating waveform contains three different levels. The five level inverters use a source with six numbers of capacitors. The operating waveform contains five different levels. The main objective of this paper is to compare the performance of diode c...

The present investigation analyses the critical buckling studies of triple-walled carbon nanotube using Euler─Bernoulli model. study deals with three different boundary conditions, namely, simply-simply, clamped-clamped, and clamped-simply supported nanotube. Using Bubnov─Galerkin Petrov─Galerkin methods, continuum model estimates load. main advantage these two approximate methods is to obtain ...

Abstract. We consider the dynamics of an elastic beam which is clamped at its left end to a vibrating support and which can move freely at its right end between two rigid obstacles (the stops). We model the contact with Signorini’s complementary conditions between the displacement and the shear stress. For this infinite dimensional contact problem, we propose a family of fully discretized appro...

The current work focuses on predicting the buckling and free vibration frequencies (fn) of cenosphere reinforced epoxy based syntactic foam beam under varying loads. Critical loads (Ncr) fn are predicted using differential quadrature method (DQM). Ncr have been calculated for beams volume fractions subjected to axial load clamped-clamped (CC), clamped-simply (CS), simply-simply (SS), clamped-fr...

Patch pipettes were used to record the current arising from small populations of sodium channels in voltage-clamped cut-open squid axons . The current fluctuations associated with the time-variant sodium conductance were analyzed with nonstationary statistical techniques in order to obtain an estimate for the conductance of a single sodium channel . The results presented support the notion that...

Multi-level inverter technology has emerged recently as a very important alternative in the area of high-power medium-voltage energy control. In this paper, the most important topologies like diode-clamped inverter (neutral-point clamped), capacitor-clamped (flying capacitor), and cascaded multi cell with separate dc sources. In this paper, we proposed a new multi-level inverter topology based ...
