A time-discontinuous Galerkin method based upon using a finite element formulation in time has evolved. This method, working from the differential equation viewpoint, is different from those which have been generally used. They admit discontinuities with respect to the time variable at each time step. In particular, the elements can be chosen arbitrarily at each time step with no connection with the elements corresponding to the previous step. Interpolation functions and weighting functions are taken to be discontinuous across inter-element boundaries. These methods lead to a unconditional stable higher-order accurate ordinary differential equation solver.

We model the torsional oscillation of a suspension bridge, which is the forced sine-Cordon equation on a bounded domain. We use finite difference method to solve nonlinear partial differential equation numerically. The partial differential equation has multiple periodic solutions. Whether the span oscillates with small or large amplitude depends oかy on its initial displacement and velocity. Moreover, we observe that the qualitative properties are consistent with the behavior observed at the Tacoma Narrows Bridge on the day of its collapse.

This paper deals with the elastica of deflected cantilever column with the constant volume. The columns are subjected to combined loads consisted of an axial compressive load and a couple moment at the free end. Differential equations governing the elastica of such column are derived, in which both the effects of taper type and shear deformation are included. Three kinds of taper types are considered: linear, parabolic and sinusoidal tapers. Differential equations are solved numerically to obtain the elastica of objective columns. The effects of various system parameters on the elastica are investigated extensively. Experimental studies were carried out in order to verify the theoretical results of non-linear behavior of the elasticas.

This paper deals with the free vibrations of arches with rectangular hollow section having constant area. The differential equations governing free vibrations of arches are derived in polar coordinates, in which the effect of rotatory inertia is included. Natural frequencies is computed numerically for parabolic arches with clamped-clamped, clamped-hinged and hinged-hinged ends. Comparisons of natural frequencies between this study and reference are made to validate theories and numerical methods developed herein. The lowest four natural frequency parameters are reported, with the rotatory inertia, as functions of three non-dimensional system parameters: the breadth ratio, the thickness ratio and the shape ratio

This paper deals with the geometrical nonlinear analyses of post-buckled columns with variable cross-section. The objective columns having variable cross-section of the width, depth and square tapers are supported by both hinged ends. By using the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory, differential equations governing the elastica of post-buckled column and their boundary conditions are derived. The solution methods of these differential equations which have two unknown parameters are developed. As the numerical results, equilibrium paths, elasticas and stress resultants of the post-buckled columns are presented. Laboratory scaled experiments were conducted for validating the theories developed in this study.

This research analyzed mathematical discourse of the students in an RME-based differential equations course at a university in order to investigate the social transformation of the students' conceptual model of differential equations. The analysis focused on the change in the students' use of conceptual metaphor for differential equations and pedagogical factors promoting the change. The analysis shows that discrete and quantitative conceptual model was prevalent in the beginning of the semester However, continuous and qualitative conceptual model emerged through the negotiation of mathematical meaning based on the inquiry of context problems. The participation in the project class has a positive impact on the extension of the students' conceptual model of differential equations and increases the fluency of the students' problem solving in differential equations. Moreover, this paper provides a discussion to identify the pedagogical factors Involved with the transformation of the students' conceptual model. The discussion highlights the sociocultural aspect of teaching and learning of mathematics and provides implications to improve teaching of mathematics in school.

An iterative solution technique is presented to analyze the dynamic systems of rigid bodies subjected to kinematic constraints. Lagrange multipliers associated with the constraints are iteratively computed by monotonically reducing an appropriately defined constraint error vector, and the resulting equation of motion is solved by a well-established ODE technique. Constraints on the velocity and acceleration as well as the position are made to be satisfied at joints at each time step. Time integration is efficiently performed because decomposition or orthonormalization of the large matrix is not required at all. An acceleration technique is suggested for the faster convergence of the iterative scheme.

이 논문에서는 이동하는 파를 해로 갖는 편미분 방정식의 해를 찾는 방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 특히 이 해가 움직이는 근원을 가질 경우에 앞쪽으로 이동하는 해가 존재하는지의 여부를 파악하는데 어떻게 증명할 것인지를 보였다. 앞쪽으로 이동하는 해를 갖는 경우는 반응-확산 방정식에서 그 해를 찾아 볼 수 있으며, 움직이는 근원을 가진 경우에 앞쪽으로 진행되는 해를 갖는 경우는 화학 공정의 모델등에서 그 해를 찾아 볼 수 있는데 이 문제를 중심으로 어떻게 해의 존재 여부를 증명할 수 있는지를 보였다.

원자로 출려그이 시간적 변화는 중성자의 흡수 및 누설량의 변화의 결과로 나타나는데 6개군의 지발중성자를 고려한 원자로동특성방정식은 잘 알려져 있다. 이들 식을 간단하게 풀기는 어려우므로 전자 analog회로로서 구성되는 simulator로서 해석하는 것이다. 지발중성자방사물질의 붕괴현상은 축전기에서의 전하의 충방전현상과 흡사하며 이들을 표현하는 방정식은 회로망의 전류, 전압을 나타내는 미분방정식과 유사하므로 동일한 과도현상을 나타낸다. 그러므로 노에 대한 각 parameter를 전기적 parameter에 대응시켜서 전기적으로 적분하여 전압을 검출하면 원자로의 출력을 나타낼 수 있게 된다. 이와같은 simulator로서는 지정회로망에 의한 회로가 여러 문헌에 소개되어 있으나 본고에서는 순수한 analog전자계산기에 의한 방법을 채택하였으며 이에 소요되는 연산요소는 시중에서 구할수 있는 부분품으로 조립하였다.
