In this paper nonlinear analysis of structures are performed considering material and geometric nonlinearity using force method and energy concepts. For this purpose, the complementary energy of the structure is minimized using ant colony algorithms. Considering the energy term next to the weight of the structure, optimal design of structures is performed. The first part of this paper contains ...

analyzing the nonlinear vibration of beams is one of the important issues in structural engineering. according to this, an impressive analytical method which is called modified iteration perturbation method (mipm) is used to obtain the behavior and frequency of a cantilever beam with geometric nonlinear. this new method is combined by the mickens and iteration methods. moreover, this method don...

Applying strong electric field on piezoelectric actuators, on one hand very significant electroelastic material nonlinear effects will occur, on the other hand piezo plates and shells may undergo large displacements and rotations. In order to give a precise prediction of piezolaminated smart structures under large electric field, this paper develops a finite element (FE) model accounting for bo...

Past forms of acoustic streaming, named after their progenitors Eckart (1948), Schlichting (1932), and Rayleigh (1884), serve to describe fluid particle transport phenomena from the macro micro-scale. Governed by viscosity, traditional streaming arises second-order nonlinear coupling between fluid's density velocity, with first-order wave time averaging zero. We a form acoustogeometric that has...

This paper presents nonlinear elastic dynamic analysis of 3-D semi-rigid steel frames including geometric and connection nonlinearities. The geometric nonlinearity is considered by using stability functions and updating geometric stiffness matrix. The nonlinear behavior of the steel beam-to-column connection is considered by using a zero-length independent connection element comprising of six t...

Abstract. The dynamics of a membrane is a coupled system of a moving elastic surface and an incompressible membrane fluid. The difficulties in analyzing such a system include the nonlinearity of the curved space (geometric nonlinearity), the nonlinearity of the fluid dynamics (fluid nonlinearity), and the coupling to the surface incompressibility. In the two-dimensional case, the fluid vanishes...

D. Wang, G. Cowin, K. McMahon, D. M. Doddrell Centre for Magnetic Resonance, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Qld, Australia Introduction Gradient coils in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) play an increasingly important role as many advanced imaging sequences developed in recent years normally require faster and stronger gradients. To meet this demand, gradient designers employed differe...

The effects of nonlinearity on the power spectrum of jet noise can be directly compared with those of atmospheric absorption and geometric spreading through an ensemble-averaged, frequency-domain version of the generalized Burgers equation (GBE) [B. O. Reichman et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 136, 2102 (2014)]. The rate of change in the sound pressure level due to the nonlinearity, in decibels per ...
