  • In this paper, a modal analysis is applied for a hung Euler-Bernoulli beam with a lumped mass. We first derive the equations of motion using the Hamilton's principle. Then regarding the tension of beam as constant, we characterize the eigenfrequencies and the feature of eigenfunctions. The approximation employed here is corresponding that the lumped mass is sufficiently large than that of beam. Finally we compare the eigenfrequencies derived here with those obtained based on the Southwell's method.

  • The electrooptic properties of the reflected light in a reflective mode, $45^{\circ}C$twisted nematic liquid crystal (TNLC) cell were investigated in the voltage regions near and away from the Freedericksz transition threshold. The measured reflectivity away from the threshold voltage ($V_th$) could not be described by the model which assurnes a constant tilt angle as well as a linearized distribution of twist angle across the cell, although the data are well fitted near $V_th$. We found that in the voltage region away from $V_th$, the model considering the distributions of the tilt angle and the twist angle should be applied for the calculation of the reflectivity. The director-axis distributions were obtained from the numerical integration of the Euler-Lagrange equation.

  • A large number of series and integral representations for the Stieltjes constants (or generalized Euler-Mascheroni constants) ${\gamma}_k$ and the generalized Stieltjes constants ${\gamma}_k(a)$ have been investigated. Here we aim at presenting certain integral representations for the generalized Stieltjes constants ${\gamma}_k(a)$ by choosing to use four known integral representations for the generalized zeta function ${\zeta}(s,a)$. As a by-product, our main results are easily seen to specialize to yield those corresponding integral representations for the Stieltjes constants ${\gamma}_k$. Some relevant connections of certain special cases of our results presented here with those in earlier works are also pointed out.

  • This paper aims to study the large deflections of variable-arc-length elastica subjected to the terminal forces (e.g., axial force and torque). Based on Kirchhoff's rod theory and with help of Euler parameters, the set of nonlinear governing differential equations which free from the effect of singularity are established together with boundary conditions. The system of nonlinear differential equations is solved by using the shooting method with high accuracy integrator, seventh-eighth order Runge-Kutta with adaptive step-size scheme. The error norm of end conditions is minimized within the prescribed tolerance ($10^{-5}$). The behavior of VAL elastica is studied by two processes. One is obtained by applying slackening first. After that keeping the slackening as a constant and then the twist angle is varied in subsequent order. The other process is performed by reversing the sequence of loading in the first process. The results are interpreted by observing the load-deflection diagram and the stability properties are predicted via fold rule. From the results, there are many interesting aspects such as snap-through phenomenon, secondary bifurcation point, loop formation, equilibrium configurations and effect of variable-arc-length to behavior of elastica.

  • The dynamic response of stiffened rectangular plate subjected to a concentrated force or mass moving at constant speed is analyzed by using finite- element method. Stiffened plates are modelled as an assembly of isotropic thin plate elements and equivalent Euler beam ones, in which the beam elements represent the stiffener effects concentrated at the attached lines of stiffeners to the plates. The Newmark's time integration method is used to obtain the dynamic response of stiffened plates. Numerical examples are given to verify the validity of the presented method and also to investigate the effects of speed and moving mass on the dynamic characteristics of stiffened plates.

  • The Forced vibration characteristics of elastically restrained pipe conveying fluid with the attached mass are investigated in this paper. Based on the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, the equation of motion is derived by using Hamilton's principle. The effect of attached mass and spring constant on forced vibration of pipe system is studied. Also, the critical flow velocities and stability maps of the valve-pipe system are obtained as each parameters.

  • An axially marching numerical method is developed for the simulation of the internal waves produced by translation of a submersed vehicle in a density-stratified ocean. The method provides for the direct solution of the primitive variables [$\upsilon,\;p,\;\rho$] for the nonlinear and steady state three-dimensional Euler's equation with a non-constant density term in the vehicle-fixed cartesian co-ordinate system. By utilizing a known potential flow around the vehicle for an estimate of the axial velocity gradient, the present parabolic algorithm local upstreamwise disturbances and axial velocity variation.

  • ${\varrho}$ is the real constant number that appears not only in calculus but also in a real life. The concept of the number ${\varrho}$ first appeared in an appendix of Napier's work on logarithms in 1618. The early developments on the logarithm became part of an understanding of the number ${\varrho}$. In 1727, the number ${\varrho}$ was studied by Euler explicitly. It ton14 almost 100 years to understand the number ${\varrho}$ which we learn in high school nowadays. By studying the origin of the number ${\varrho}$, we can guess that many mathemetician's research in our time will have significant meaning in the future although it looks like just some calculations of cohomology or K-theory etc.

  • In this paper, an analytic method to examine the random vibration of multispan Timoshenko frames due to a concentrated load traversing at a constant velocity is presented. A load's magnitude is a stationary process in time with a constant mean value and a variance. Two types of variances of this load are considered: white noise process and cosine process. The effects of both velocity and statistical characteristics of load and span number of the frame on both the mean value and variance of deflection and moment of the structure are investigated. Results obtained from a multispan Timoshenko frame are compared with those of a multispan Bernoulli-Euler frame.
