in this paper, the finite element analysis of stability problem of vehicle composite drive shafts subjected to torsional loading is studied. first, using the minimum total potential energy principle, the governing equations are derived and then they are solved by finite element method. the initial geometrical imperfection which is usually in the form of radial displacement, is taken into consid...

A theoretical approach is developed to derive a hierarchy of mode-coupling equations for the dynamics of concentrated colloidal suspensions, which improves the prediction of the colloidal glass transition. Our derivation is based on a matrix formalism for stochastic dynamics and the resulting recursive expressions for irreducible memory functions. The 1st order truncation of the generalized mod...

This paper deals with multiwavelets and the different properties of approximation and smoothness associated with them. In particular, we focus on the important issue of the preservation of discrete-time polynomial signals by multifilterbanks. We introduce and detail the property of balancing for higher degree discrete-time polynomial signals and link it to a very natural factorization of the re...
