the euler-lagrange equation plays an important role in the minimization problems of the calculus of variations. this paper employs the differential transformation method (dtm) for finding the solution of the euler-lagrange equation which arise from problems of calculus of variations. dtm provides an analytical solution in the form of an infinite power series with easily computable components. s...

rolling-based seismic isolation systems, in which rollers of circular or non-circular section are used, are less expensive and easier to manufacture. however, this type of isolation suffers from either lack of restoring or re-centering capability, or weakness against uplift forces. to resolve the first shortcoming the use of elliptical as well as pillow-shape rolling parts has been suggested, a...

in this paper a new isolating system is introduced for short to mid-rise buildings. in comparison to conventional systems such as lrb and hrb, the proposed system has the advantage of no need to cutting edge technology and has low manufacturing cost. this system is made up of two orthogonal pairs of pillow-shaped rollers that are located between flat bed and plates. by using this system in two ...

In order to decrease the fluid drag on an underwater robot manipulator, an optimal trajectory method based on the variational method is presented. By introducing the adjoint variables, which are Lagrange multipliers, we formulate a Lagrange function under certain constraints related to the target angle, target angular velocity, and dynamic equation of the robot manipulator. The state equation (...

Abstract: This paper addresses a stability analysis problem and synthesis problem for pendulum-like systems with multiple nonlinearities. A method for analysing the Lagrange stability of a pendulum-like system with multiple nonlinearities is proposed. In order to study the synthesis problem, the paper develops an Extended Strict Bounded Real Lemma for unstable systems. A sufficient condition fo...

It is commonly believed as a fundamental principle that energy-momentum conservation of a physical system is the result of space-time symmetry. However, for classical particle-field systems, e.g., charged particles interacting through self-consistent electromagnetic or electrostatic fields, such a connection has only been cautiously suggested. It has not been formally established. The difficult...

this paper describes an approximating solution, based on lagrange interpolation and spline functions, to treat functional integral equations of fredholm type and volterra type. this method can be extended to functional dierential and integro-dierential equations. for showing eciency of the method we give some numerical examples.

This paper is intended to reveal some new aspects of the principle of work and energy in its differential form. A theorem is given to state the principle of work and energy in differential form that can be applied alone to build up all the dynamical equations of a special class of MDOF mechanical systems. Some illustrations and discussions are presented to demonstrate the refined applicability ...
