A semi-analytical approach to the elastic nonlinear stability analysis of rectangular plates is developed. Arbitrary boundary conditions and general out-of-plane and in-plane loads are considered. The geometrically nonlinear formulation for the elastic rectangular plate is derived using the thin plate theory with the nonlinear von Kármán strains and the variational multi-term extended Kantorovi...

As one of themost important subjects of mathematics, differential and integral equations are widely used to model a variety of physical problems. Perturbation methods have been used in search of approximate analytical solutions for over a century [1–3]. Algebraic equations, integral-differential equations, and difference equations could be solved by these techniques approximately. However, a ma...

Este ensayo de Miriam Bratu Hansen, que se publica por primera vez en español, apareció originalmente el año 1999 la prestigiosa revista académica Critical Inquiry. Se trata un texto pronto convirtió una referencia obligada, no solo para los especialistas obra Walter Benjamin, sino teóricos del cine y medios comunicación, así como campo estudios culturales anglosajones. El Hansen marcó directri...

In this work, we study the performance of the sinc-Collocation method for solving Bratu's problem. For different choices of step size, we consider the maximum absolute errors in the solutions at sinc grid points and tabulated in tables. The comparison of the obtained results veri ed that this method converges to the exact solution rapidly and with  

literature since there is no reliable and universally accepted method for resolving it (Bratu et al 2003, Sigurd et al 1983, Lejoyeux 1968). As it is a step of major importance, which precedes the correct account of the centric relation (CR), there is currently still high interest in finding new approaches. The current methodology involves two branches: (1) using physiological methods at the ex...
