  • This paper presents a flexural-torsional analysis of thin-walled open-section composite beams. A general geometrically nonlinear model for thin-walled composite beams and general laminate stacking sequences is given by using systematic variational formulation based on the classical lamination theory. The nonlinear algebraic equations of present theory are linearized and solved by means of an incremental Newton-Raphson method. Based on the analytical model, a displacement-based one-dimensional finite element model is developed to formulate the problem. Numerical results are obtained for thin-walled composite beams under general loadings, addressing the effects of fiber angle, laminate stacking sequence and loading parameters.

  • The aim of this paper is to propose a cubic convergent regula falsi iterative method for solving the nonlinear equation f(x) = 0, where f : [a,b] $\subset$ R $\rightarrow$ R is a continuously differentiable. In [3,6] a quadratically convergent regula falsi iterative methods for solving this nonlinear equations is proposed. It is shown there that both the sequences of diameters and iterative points sequence converge to zero simultaneously. So The aim of this paper is to accelerate further the convergence of these methods from quadratic to cubic. This is done by replacing the parameter p in the iteration of [3,5,6] by a function p(x) defined suitably. The convergence analysis is carried out for the method. The method is tested on number of numerical examples and results obtained shows that our methods are better and more effective and comparable to well-known methods.

  • The main objective of the present paper is to address a formal procedure for orthotropic steel plates design. The theme of the proposed approach is to recast the design procedure into a mathematical programming model. The objective function to be optimized is the total weight of the structure. The total weight is function of its layout parameters and structural element design variables. Mean while the proposed approach takes into consideration the strength and rigidity criteria in addition to other dimensional constraints. A nonlinear programming model is developed which consists of a nonlinear objective function and a set of implicit/explicit nonlinear constraints. A transformation method is adopted for minimization strategy, where the primal model constrained problem is transformed into a sequence of unconstrained minimization models. The search strategy is based on the well-known Fletcher/Powell algorithm. The finite element technique is adopted for discretization and analysis strategies. Mindlin theory is selected to simulate the finite element model and a selective reduced integration scheme is exploited to avoid a shear lock problem.

  • In this paper, we presented a new algebraic iterative algorithm for the optimal control of the nonlinear systems. The algorithm is based on tow steps. The first step transforms optimal control problem into a sequence of linear optimal control problem using the quasilinearization method. In the second step, TPB(two point boundary condition problem) is solved by algebraic equations instead of differential equations using BPF(block pulse functions). The proposed algorithm is simple and efficient in computation for the optimal control of nonlinear systems. In computer simulation, the algorithm was verified through the optimal control design of Van del pole system and Volterra Predatory-prey system.

  • In this paper, we study a system of nonlinear wave equations associated with the helical flows of Maxwell fluid. By constructing a N-order iterative scheme, we prove the local existence and uniqueness of a weak solution. Furthermore, we show that the sequence associated with N-order iterative scheme converges to the unique weak solution at a rate of N-order.

  • It is very important to study displacement prediction in geotechnical engineering. Nowadays, the grey system method, time series analysis method and artificial neural network method are three main methods. Based on the brief introduction, the three methods are analyzed comprehensively. Their merits and demerits, applied ranges are revealed. To solve the shortcomings of the artificial neural network method, a new prediction method based on new evolutionary neural network is proposed. Finally, through two real engineering applications, the analysis of three main methods and the new evolutionary neural network method all have been verified. The results show that, the grey system method is a kind of exponential approximation to displacement sequence, and time series analysis is linear autoregression approximation, while artificial neural network is nonlinear autoregression approximation. Thus, the grey system method can suitably analyze the sequence, which has the exponential law, the time series method can suitably analyze the random sequence and the neural network method almostly can be applied in any sequences. Moreover, the prediction results of new evolutionary neural network method is the best, and its approximation sequence and the generalization prediction sequence are all coincided with the real displacement sequence well. Thus, the new evolutionary neural network method is an acceptable method to predict the measurement displacements of geotechnical engineering.

  • Using the Lagrangian equation, nonlinear vibration analysis of laminated hybrid composite plates is carried out. The effects of stacking sequences, aspect ratios, number of modes, number of layers and various elastic properties on nonlinear vibration are investigated. The presence of bending-extension coupling in antisymmetric plates yields a second power term in addition to a cubic nonlinear term in governing differential equation of motion. In the other symmetric case, this second term vanishes. The fundamental frequency of analytic results are compared with that of ABAQUS FEM analysis. For nonlinear vibration of antisymmetric unimaterial plate, the result of reference is presented for comparison with this result.

  • This paper describes the implementation of three-phase three-wire active power filter system with a instantaneous PSD for distorted and unbalanced power conditions. The positive sequence voltage of the distorted and the unbalanced power system is calculated by the Instantaneous PSD, and phase transformation matrix of the instantaneous power theory is achieved with detected positive sequence voltage. Finally, the proposed method is experimented and tested under unbalanced nonlinear load as well as unbalanced /distorted condition in power system.

  • The statistical testing methods have been widely recognized to determine the plain and cipher texts. In fact, the randomness for a sequence from an encryption algorithm is necessary to guarantee security and reliance of cipher algorithm. Thus, the statistical randomness tests are used to discover cipher text. In this paper, we would provide the critical value for an approximate entropy test by estimating the nonlinear regression equation when the number of sequence and the level of significance are given. Thus, we can discern plan and cipher text for real problem with given number of sequence and the level of significance. Also, we confirm the fitness of the estimated critical values from the rate of success for plain or cipher text.

  • Performance evaluation of RC frame building by nonlinear static pushover analysis that accounts for elastic and post elastic behavior is becoming very popular as a valid decision making tool in seismic hazard resistant designs. Available literature suggests great amount of interest has shown by researchers in suggesting refinements to geometric and material modelling to bridge the gap between analytical predictions and observed performances. Notwithstanding the attempts gaps still exists. Sequence of plastic hinge formation which has great influence on pushover analysis results is an area less investigated. This paper attempts to highlight the importance of hinge sequence considerations to make analysis results more meaningful. Variation in analysis results due to different hinge sequences have been quantified, compared and bounds on analysis results have been presented.
