The Euler-Bernoulli uniform elastically supported beam model with incorporated dissipation mechanisms is dealt with. Conditions are given to ensure oscillatory character of solutions.

Abstract. If {an}n=1 and {bn}n=1 are two sequences such that a1 = b1 and bn + a1bn−1 + · · ·+ an−1b1 = nan (n > 1), then we say that (an, bn) is a Newton-Euler pair. In the paper we establish many formulas for Newton-Euler pairs, and then make use of them to obtain new results concerning some special sequences such as p(n), σ(n) and Bn, where p(n) is the number of partitions of n, σ(n) is the s...

Absorbing boundary conditions are generally associated to long-range memory behaviors. In the case of the Euler-Bernoulli beam, they are naturally based on Abel-Volterra operators of order 1/2. Diiusive real-izations of them are introduced and used for the construction of an original and eecient boundary dynamic feedback control.

We introduce and investigate the Apostol-Bernoulli, Apostol-Euler and Apostol-Genocchi polynomials by means of a suitable theirs generating polynomials. We establish several interesting properties of these polynomials. Also, we gave some propositions two theorems and one corollary.

We consider an optimal control problem with indeenite cost for an abstract model which covers in particular hyperbolic and hyperbolic-like systems in a general bounded domain. Necessary and suucient conditions are given for the synthesis of the optimal control, which is given in terms of the Riccati operator arising from a nonstandard Riccati equation. The theory also extends a nite-dimensional...

The earliest example of bifurcation is the buckling of of an elastic beam. In engineering, buckling is a failure mode characterized by a sudden failure of a structure subjected to high compressive stresses, where the actual compressive stresses at failure are greater than the ultimate compressive stresses that the material is capable of withstanding. This mode of failure is also described as fa...

We study a q-logarithm which was introduced by Euler and give some of its properties. This q-logarithm did not get much attention in the recent literature. We derive basic properties, some of which were already given by Euler in a 1751-paper and 1734-letter to Daniel Bernoulli. The corresponding q-analogue of the dilogarithm is introduced. The relation to the values at 1 and 2 of a q-analogue o...

The main purpose of this paper is to derive various Matiyasevich-Miki-Gessel type convolution identities for Bernoulli and Genocchi polynomials and numbers by applying some Euler type identities with two parameters.

The paper deals with the mechanical behavior of a micro-beam bonded with two piezoelectric layers. The micro-beam is suspended over a fixed substrate and undergoes the both piezoelectric and electrostatic actuation. The piezoelectric layers are poled through the thickness and equipped with surface electrodes. The equation governing the micro-beam deflection under electrostatic pressure is deriv...

This paper presents a numerical parametric study on design parameters of multispan viscoelastic shear deformable beams subjected to a moving mass via generalized moving least squares method (GMLSM). For utilizing Lagrange’s equations, the unknown parameters of the problem are stated in terms of GMLSM shape functions and the generalized Newmarkscheme is applied for solving the discrete equations...
