The present work focuses on geometrically exact finite elements for highly slender beams. It aims at the proposal of novel formulations of Kirchhoff-Love type, a detailed review of existing formulations of Kirchhoff-Love and SimoReissner type as well as a careful evaluation and comparison of the proposed and existing formulations. Two different rotation interpolation schemes with strong or weak...

Let G be a connected graph with vertex set V.G/. The degree Kirchhoff index of G is defined as S .G/D P fu;vg V.G/ d.u/d.v/R.u;v/, where d.u/ is the degree of vertex u, and R.u;v/ denotes the resistance distance between vertices u and v. In this paper we obtain some upper and lower bounds for the degree Kirchhoff index of graphs. We also obtain some bounds for the Nordhaus-Gaddum-type result fo...

Abstract In this article, using critical point theory and variational methods, we investigate the existence of at least three solutions for a class double eigenvalue discrete anisotropic Kirchhoff-type problems. An example is presented to demonstrate applicability our main theoretical findings.

and many authors have studied the existence and uniqueness of global solution, the blowup of the solution (see [–] and the references therein). WhenM is not a constant function, equation (.)without the damping and source terms is often called a Kirchhoff-type wave equation; it has first been introduced by Kirchhoff [] in order to describe the nonlinear vibrations of an elastic string. When...

The general Kirchhoff theory of sound propagation in a circular tube is shown to take a considerably simpler form in a regime that includes both narrow and wide tubes. For tube radii greater than ro, = 10-3 cm and sound frequenciesf uch that r•f 3/2 < 106 cm s3/2, the Kirchhoff solution reduces to the approximate solution suggested by Zwikker and Kosten. In this regime, viscosity and thermal co...

A meshless approach to the analysis of arbitrary Kirchhoff plates by the Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) method is presented. The method is based on moving least squares approximant. The method is meshless, which means that the discretization is independent of the geometric subdivision into “finite elements”. The satisfaction of the C1 continuity requirements are easily met by EFG since it requires...

The scattering characteristic of paraxial gaussian beam from two dimensional dielectric rough surfaces is studied in this paper. The modification of the Kirchhoff approximation theory for rough surface scattering by an incident gaussian beam instead of a plane wave are developed based on conventional Kirchhoff scattering theory and plane wave spectrum expansion method. The coherent and incohere...

Wave-equation migration is an accurate and robust alternative to Kirchhoff migration when multipathing and other complex wave phenomena occur, such as in subsalt exploration. In these situations, images obtained by wave-equation migration are often superior to images obtained by Kirchhoff methods. However, 3-D wave-equation prestack imaging is an immature technology compared with Kirchhoff imag...

The Kirchhoff analogy for elastic rods establishes the equivalence between the solutions of the classical spinning top and the stationary solutions of the Kirchhoff model for thin elastic rods with circular cross-sections. In this paper the Kirchhoff analogy is further generalized to show that the classical Kovalevskaya solution for the rigid body problem is formally equivalent to the solution ...
