in this paper, eringen’s nonlocal elasticity and timoshenko beam theories are implemented to analyze the bending vibration for non-uniform nano-beams.  the governing equations and the boundary conditions are derived using hamilton’s principle. a generalized differential quadrature method (gdqm) is utilized for solving the governing equations of non-uniform timoshenko nano-beam for pinned-pinned...

in this paper the author considers a general method, based on time domain samples for spectral manipulation of time limited signals. first, the original signal is divided into some frames in the time domain. then, by presenting a suitable theoretical and computational algorithm, and using a method for improving the speed of convergence, we find the local bandwidth of each frame; thereby, each f...

Two main technologies are available to design and represent freeform surfaces: NonUniform Rational B-Splines (NURBS) and subdivision surfaces. Both representations are built on uniform B-splines, but they extend this foundation in incompatible ways, and different industries have therefore established a preference for one representation over the other. NURBS are the dominant standard for Compute...

In this correspondence, a simple design method for multirate near perfect reconstruction (NPR) integer decimated filter bank with non-uniform frequency spacing and linear phase property, that involves optimization of only single parameter, is proposed. It is derived from the uniform cosine modulated filter bank (CMFB) by merging some relevant band pass filters. The design procedure and the stru...

The available shear correction factors have mainly been developed for homogeneous isotropic plates and/or assuming that no shear tractions are imposed on the top and bottom surfaces of the plate. In the present research, a more general case of a circular functionally graded plate subjected to non-uniform normal and shear tractions at the top and bottom surfaces is considered. These non-uniform ...

in most of the multi–criteria decision–analysis (mcda) problems in which the choquet integral is used as aggregation function, the coefficients of choquet integral (capacity) are not known in advance. actually, they could be calculated by capacity definition methods. in these methods, the preference information of decision maker (dm) is used to constitute a possible solution space. the methods ...

A study of female-male differences in F F2: and F3 of var ious vowels within eight different languages revea ls univer sa l tendencies of departure f rom a simple uniform scaling. These have been quantified and adopted a s a basis for a vowel-category-specific normalization procedure which, on the average, reduces the female-male variance to one-half of that remaining after a simple uniform sca...

A subset of the vertices in a hypergraph is a cover if it intersects every edge. Let τ(H) denote the cardinality of a minimum cover in the hypergraph H , and let us denote by g(n) the maximum of τ(H) taken over all hypergraphs H with n vertices and with no two hyperedges of the same size. We show that g(n) < 1.98 √ n(1 + o(1)). A special case corresponds to an old problem of Erdős asking the ma...

Let Ω be a set with n elements. A transformation monoid on Ω is a set of maps from Ω to itself which is closed under composition and contains the identity. A transformation monoid M is synchronizing if it contains a map with rank 1 (that is, whose image has only one element). The notion comes from automata theory. A (finite deterministic) automaton consists of a set Ω of states and a set S of t...
