in this paper we consider the european continuous installment call option. then  its linear complementarity formulation is given. writing the resulted problem in variational form, we prove the existence and uniqueness of its weak solution. finally finite element method is applied to price the european continuous installment call option.

carbon nanotube (cnt) is considered as a new generation of material possessing superior mechanical, thermal and electrical properties. the applications of cnt, especially in composite materials, i.e. carbon nanotube reinforced polymer have received great attention and interest in recent years. to characterize the influence of cnt on the stress intensity factor of nanocomposites, three fracture ...

fiber reinforced polymers (frp) have widely used for the purposes of enhances strength and ductility of concrete columns. proper design of such hybrid columns, however, requires a better recognition of the behavior of concrete columns confined with frp. in this paper, the influence of frp thickness, concrete compressive strength, and column size on the performance of eccentrically loaded reacti...

this research work is devoted to the development of a mathematical model for the simulation of the flow of polymeric melts through the die region of extruders. a set of governing equations are solved using finite element method. standard galerkin technique is used in conjunction with the mixed scheme to solve the flow equation. due to the non-linear nature of global equations, the picard iterat...

an analytical nonlinear stress-strain model and a microscopic damage index for confined and unconfined concretes together with a macroscopic damage index for reinforced concrete (rc) structures under cyclic loading are proposed. in order to eliminate the problem of scale effect, an adjustable finite element computer program was generated to simulate rc structures subjected to cyclic loading. by...

Since the electric motor of pure electric vehicle replaced the engine, the "masking effect" disappears, and the problem of vibration and noise of the transmission becomes prominent. This is generated during the gear meshing and is transmitted to the housing through the shaft and bearing. Thereby, radiation noise of the housing are generated. The prediction and analysis...

This research deals with axial and oblique impact crash tests on simple and hybrid composite tubes. Axial and oblique impact tests have been generated on simple and hybrid composite tubes with one, two and three layers. A drop test rig was used to conduct the experiments. Furthermore, in order to gain more detailed knowledge about the crash process, finite element simulations of the experim...

in this paper, single, bi-layered and three-layered tube hydroforming processes were numerically simulated using the finite element method. it was found that the final bulges heights resulted from the models were in good agreement with the experimental results. three types of modeling were kept with the same geometry, tube material and process parameters to be compared between the obtained hydr...
