چکیده

This paper proves sharp inequalities for the frequencies of vibration of strings and cylindrical membranes, under either fixed or fixed-free boundary conditions. We establish such inequalities also on the "generalized" cylinder, which is the cross-product of an interval with a homogeneous Riemannian manifold. The goal is to better understand the effect that inhomogeneities in the mass distribution have on the frequencies of vibration. Theorem 2, for example, says roughly that for a vibrating string fixed at one end and free at the other, moving mass towards the free end will tend to decrease the frequencies. To make this more precise, suppose w is a positive function on the interval (0, L) and \j(w) is the j-th eigenvalue of the weighted Laplacian w~d/dx on that interval, under Neumann boundary conditions at x = 0 and Dirichlet boundary conditions at x = L; this means that for some eigenfunction ^j,

Static Analysis of Orthotropic Functionally Graded Material Cylinders with Finite Length by a Mesh-Free Method

In this paper static analysis of orthotropic functionally graded material (FGM) cylinders with finite length was carried out by a mesh-free method. MLS shape functions are used for approximation of displacement field in the weak form of equilibrium equation and essential boundary conditions are imposed by transformation method. In this simulation, an ax symmetric model is used. Mechanical prope...

Experimental Study of Effective Parameters on Honing Process of Cast Iron Cylinder

Honing is a process for finishing surfaces to obtain smooth surface. This process is used for final polish of inner parts such as engines cylinders. Optimizing this process has always been a big challenge for mass production of cylinder blocks of internal combustion engines. Honing process has some variable parameters, thus to get their optimum rates the automobile cylinders were tested. In thi...

Small Black Holes on Cylinders

We find the metric of small black holes on cylinders, i.e. neutral and static black holes with a small mass in d-dimensional Minkowski-space times a circle. The metric is found using an ansatz for black holes on cylinders proposed in hep-th/0204047. We use the new metric to compute corrections to the thermodynamics which is seen to deviate from that of the (d + 1)-dimensional Schwarzschild blac...
