Human vocal folds experience flow-induced vibrations during phonation. In previous computational models, the vocal fold dynamics has been treated with linear elasticity theory in which both the strain and the displacement of the tissue are assumed to be infinitesimal (referred to as model I). The effect of the nonlinear strain, or geometric nonlinearity, caused by finite displacements is yet no...

In this paper, a moving mesh technique and a non-standard finite difference method are combined, and a moving mesh non-standard finite difference (MMNSFD) method is developed to solve an initial boundary value problem involving a quartic nonlinearity that arises in heat transfer with thermal radiation. In this method, the moving spatial grid is obtained by a simple geometric adaptive algorithm ...

In this work,The free nonlinear vibrations of nanotubes using the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory along with the von Kármán geometric nonlinearity in presence of surface effects has been investigated. Natural frequencies of a simply-supported nanotube in terms of the Jacobi elliptic functions are obtained by using the free vibration modes of the corresponding linear problem. The numerical results d...

Abstract Structural Topology optimization is attracting increasing attention as a complement to additive manufacturing techniques. The algorithms usually employ continuum-based Finite Element analyses, but some important materials and processes are better described by discrete models, for example granular materials, powder-based 3D printing, or structural collapse. To address these systems, we ...

We propose a new training method for a feedforward neural network having the activation functions with the geometric contraction property. The method consists of constructing a new functional that is less nonlinear in comparison with the classical functional by removing the nonlinearity of the activation functions from the output layer. We validate this new method by a series of experiments tha...

Abstract  In this paper , the nonlinear the nonlinear free and forced axisymmetric vibration of a thin circular functionally graded plate with rigid core is formulated in terms of von-Karman’s dynamic equation , and a semi-analytical approach is developed.Functionally graded material (FGM) properties vary through the thickness of the plate.FGM s are spatial composites within which material prop...

this paper is concerned with the study of the existence of positive solutions for a navier boundaryvalue problem involving the p-biharmonic operator; the right hand side of problem is a nonsmoothfunctional with variable parameters. the existence of at least three positive solutions is establishedby using nonsmooth version of a three critical points theorem for discontinuous functions. our resul...

In this paper, multi-component generalizations to the Camassa–Holm equation, the modified Camassa–Holm equation with cubic nonlinearity are introduced. Geometric formulations to the dual version of the Schrödinger equation, the complex Camassa– Holm equation and the multi-component modified Camassa–Holm equation are provided. It is shown that these equations arise from non-streching invariant c...
