this study introduces the differential transform method (dtm) to analyse the free vibration response of a rotating, closed section, composite, timoshenko beam which features material coupling between flapwise bending and torsional vibrations due to ply orientation. the governing differential equations of motion are derived using hamilton’s principle and solved by applying dtm. the natural frequ...

introduction: the feedback provided by auditory apparatus equips normal hearing people with an important controlling mechanism over the speech production processes. the speech of hearing-impaired children is both perceptually and acoustically abnormal. this study tried to compare the formant frequencies of three long vowels in persian-speaking children who used cochlear implant and those who we...

A truncated conical beam model is developed to study the vibration behaviour of a rat whisker. Translational and rotational springs are introduced to better represent the constraint conditions at the base of the whiskers in a living rat. Dimensional analysis shows that the natural frequency of a truncated conical beam with generic spring constraints at its ends is inversely proportional to the ...

Dynamic Analysis of an axially moving cable with time dependent tension and velocity isstudied in this paper. Tension force and the moving speed are assumed to be harmonic.It is found that there exists a specific value of speed in which natural frequency of the system approacheszero. This specific speed for such a critical condition is called critical speed and it will be proved thatincreasing ...

background: multiple sclerosis (ms) and neuromyelitis optica (nmo) are inflammatory and demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system (cns). nk cells are supposed to play an important role in the pathophysiology of ms, but their role in the nmo remains unknown. the aim of this study was to compare the prevalence of different subpopulations of nk cells in the patients with ms and nmo and ...
