For the general loading condition and boundary condition, it is very difficult to obtain closed-form solutions for buckling loads and natural frequencies of thin-walled structures because its behaviour is very complex due to the coupling effect of bending and torsional behaviour. Consequently most of previous finite element formulations introduced approximate displacement fields using shape functions as Hermitian polynomials, isoparametric interpoation function, and so on. The purpose of this study is to calculate the exact displacement field of a thin-walled straight beam element with the non-symmetric cross section and present a consistent derivation of the exact dynamic stiffness matrix. An exact dynamic element stiffness matrix is established from Vlasov's coupled differential equations for a uniform beam element of non-symmetric thin-walled cross section. This numerical technique is accomplished via a generalized linear eigenvalue problem by introducing 14 displacement parameters and a system of linear algebraic equations with complex matrices. The natural frequencies are evaluated for the non-symmetric thin-walled straight beam structure, and the results are compared with available solutions in order to verify validity and accuracy of the proposed procedures.

Derivation procedures of exact elastic element stiffness matrix of thin-walled curved beams are rigorously presented for the static analysis. An exact elastic element stiffness matrix is established from governing equations for a uniform curved beam element with nonsymmetric thin-walled cross section. First this numerical technique is accomplished via a generalized linear eigenvalue problem by introducing 14 displacement parameters and a system of linear algebraic equations with complex matrices. Thus, the displacement functions of displacement parameters are exactly derived and finally exact stiffness matrices are determined using member force-displacement relationships. The displacement and normal stress of the section are evaluated and compared with thin-walled straight and curved beam element or results of the analysis using shell elements for the thin-walled curved beam structure in order to demonstrate the validity of this study.

An exact dynamic analytical method for free vibrations of continuous partial-interaction composite beams is proposed based on the Timoshenko beam theory. The main advantage of this method is that the independent shear deformations and rotary inertia of sub-beams are considered, which is more in line with the reality. Therefore, the accuracy of eigenfrequencies obtained by this method is significantly improved, especially for higher order modes, compared to the existing methods where the rotary angles of both sub-beams are assumed to be equal irrespective of the differences in the shear stiffness of each sub-beam. Furthermore, the solutions obtained by the proposed method are exact owing to no introduction of approximated displacement and force fields in the derivation. In addition, an exact analytical solution for the case of simply supported is obtained. Based on this, an approximate expression for the fundamental frequency of continuous partial-interaction composite beams is also proposed, which is useful for practical engineering applications. Finally, the practicability and effectiveness of the proposed method and the approximate expression are explored using numerical and experimental examples; The influence factors including the interfacial interaction, shear modulus ratio, span-to-depth ratio, and side-to-main span length ratio on the eigenfrequencies are presented and discussed in detail.

The methods solving the 2nd order linear ordinary differential equations of the form y"+H(x)y'+G(x)y=P(x) using Fourier series are presented in this paper. These methods are applied to the differential equations of which the exact solutions are known, and the solutions by Fourier series are compared with the exact solutions. The main results obtained in these studies are summarized as follows; 1) The product and the quotient of two functions expressed in Fourier series can be expressed also in Fourier series and the relations between the Fourier coefficients of the series are obtained by multiplying term by term. 2) If the solution of the 2nd order lindar ordinary differential equation exists in a certain interval, the solution can be obtained using Fourier series and can be expressed in Fourier series. 3) The absolute errors of Fourier series solutions are generally less in the center of the interval than in the end of the interval. 4) The more terms are considered in Fourier series solutions, the less the absolute errors.rors.

This study presents an efficient method for robust optimal design. In order to avoid the excessive evaluations of the exact performance functions, two-point diagonal quadratic approximation method is employed for approximating them during optimization process. This approximation method is one of the two point approximation methods. Therefore, the second order sensitivity information of the approximated performance functions are calculated by an analytical method. As a result, this enables one to avoid the expensive evaluations of the exact $2^{nd}$ derivatives of the performance functions unlike the conventional robust optimal design methods based on the gradient information. Finally, in order to show the numerical performance of the proposed method, one mathematical problem and two mechanical design problems are solved and their results are compared with those of the conventional methods.

In this paper, the fractional order time-varying linear dynamical systems are investigated by using a residual power series method. A residual power series method (RPSM) is constructed for this problem. The exact solution is obtained by the Laplace transform method and the analytical solution is calculated via the residual power series method (RPSM). As an application, some examples are tested to show the accuracy and efficacy of the proposed methods. The obtained result showed that the proposed methods are effective and accurate for this type of problem.

In a situation that ordinal preferences on multiattribute weights are captured, we present two solution approaches: an exact approach and an approximate method. The former, an exact solution approach via interaction with a decision-maker, pursues the progressive reduction of a set of non-dominated alternatives by narrowing down the feasible attribute weights region. Subsequent interactive questions and responses, however, sometimes may not guarantee the best alternative or a complete rank order of a set of alternatives that the decision-maker desires to have. Approximate solution approaches, on the other hand, can be divided into three categories including surrogate weights methods, dominance value-based decision rules, and three classical decision rules. Their efficacies are evaluated in terms of choice accuracy via a simulation analysis. The simulation results indicate that a proposed hybrid approach, intended to combine an exact solution approach through interaction and a dominance value-based approach, is recommendable for aiding a decision making in a case that a final choice is seldom made at single step under attribute weights that are imprecisely specified beyond ordinal descriptions.

We propose a simple and intuitive method to derive the exact convergence rate of global $L_{2}-norm$ error for strong numerical approximation of stochastic differential equations the result of which has been reported by Hofmann and $M{\"u}ller-Gronbach\;(2004)$. We conclude that any strong numerical scheme of order ${\gamma}\;>\;1/2$ has the same optimal convergence rate for this error. The method clearly reveals the structure of global $L_{2}-norm$ error and is similarly applicable for evaluating the convergence rate of global uniform approximations.

In this paper, the new optimal perturbation iteration method has been applied to solve the generalized regularized long wave equation. Comparing the new analytic approximate solutions with the known exact solutions reveals that the proposed technique is extremely accurate and effective in solving nonlinear wave equations. We also show that,unlike many other methods in literature, this method converges rapidly to exact solutions at lower order of approximations.

Let f be a nonconstant meromorphic function of hyper order strictly less than 1, and let c be a nonzero finite complex number such that f(z + c) ≢ f(z). We prove that if ∆_cf = f(z + c) - f(z) and f share 0, ∞ CM and 1 IM, then ∆_cf = f. Our result generalizes and greatly improves the related results.
