본 논문에서는 일정한 추력을 이용한 지구-달의 연료 최적 궤적해를 이용하여, 가변 추력기를 이용한 지구 탈출 궤적에서의 에너지 및 연료 최적 궤적을 설계하였다. 에너지 최적의 지구 탈출 궤적은 여러 차례 지구를 공전하게 되고, 궤도 천이 시간이 일반적인 궤도 천이 시간 보다 상대적으로 오래 소요되므로 최적화 문제를 해를 구하기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 에너지 최적 해를 구하기 위하여, 초기 상태변수를 조정하면서 Discrete continuation의 기법을 적용하였다. 최적화 문제의 종말 조건은 일정한 추력기를 이용한 지구 탈출 궤적의 종말 조건을 이용하였고, 구속 시간은 일정한 추력기를 이용한 궤도 천이의 경우보다 큰 값으로 설정하였다. 한편, 연료 최적 궤적은 제어 입력의 형태가 불연속적이기 때문에 해를 구하기가 쉽지 않다. 따라서 연료 최적 궤적은 에너지 최적의 해와 호모토피(Homotopy) 기법을 적용시켜 그 해를 구하였다.

The current paper aims at investigating the nonlinear dynamical behaviour of an electrically actuated microcantilever. The microcantilever is excited by a combination of AC and DC voltages. The nonlinear equation of motion of the microcantilever is obtained by means of force and moment balances. A high-dimensional Galerkin scheme is then applied to reduce the equation of motion to a discrete model. A numerical technique, based on the pseudo-arclength continuation method, is used to solve the discretized model. The electrostatic deflection of the microcantilever and static pull-in instabilities, due to the DC voltage, are analyzed by plotting the so-called DC voltage-deflection curves. At the simultaneous presence of the DC and AC voltages, the nonlinear dynamical behaviour of the microcantilever is analyzed by plotting frequency-response and force-response curves.

By considering the creep characteristics of concrete core under eccentric compression, a creep model of concrete filled steel tubes (CFT) columns under eccentric compressive loads is proposed based on the concrete creep model B3. In this proposed model, a discrete element method is introduced to transform the eccentric loading into axial loading. The validity of the model is verified by comparing the predicting results with the published creep experiments results on CFT specimens under compressive loading, together with the predicting values based on other concrete creep models, such as ACI209, CEB90, GL2000 and elastic continuation and plastic flow theory. By using the proposed model, a parameters study is carried out to analysis the effects of practical design parameters, such as concrete mix (e.g. water to cement ratio, aggregate to cement ratio), steel ratio and eccentricity ratio, on the creep of CFT columns under eccentric compressive loading.

This paper is a continuation of the investigations started in the paper by Akbarov, S.D., Guliyev, H.H and Yahnioglu, N. (2016) "Natural vibration of the three-layered solid sphere with middle layer made of FGM: three-dimensional approach", Structural Engineering and Mechanics, 57(2), 239-263, to the case where the three-layered sphere is a hollow one. Three-dimensional exact field equations of elastodynamics are employed for investigation and the discrete-analytical method is employed for solution of the corresponding eigenvalue problem. The FGM is modelled as inhomogeneous for which the modulus of elasticity, Poison's ratio and density vary continuously through the inward radial direction according to power law distribution. Numerical results on the natural frequencies are presented and discussed. These results are also compared with the corresponding ones obtained in the previous paper by the authors. In particular, it is established that for certain harmonics and for roots of certain order, the values of the natural frequency obtained for the hollow sphere can be greater (or less) than those obtained for the solid sphere.
