In this paper, the nonlinear vibration analysis of a thin cylindrical shell made of Functionally Graded Material (FGM) resting on a nonlinear viscoelastic foundation under compressive axial and lateral loads is studied. Nonlinear governing coupled partial differential equations of motions (PDEs) for cylindrical shell are derived using improved Donnell shell theory. The equations of motions (EOM...

In this paper a novel method is proposed for construction of an exponential observer for nonlinear system. The presented method is based on direct solution of dynamic error without any linearzing of nonlinear terms. Necessary and sufficient conditions for construction of direct observer are presented. Stability of the observer is checked using Lyapunov theorem. Also the ability of this observer...

this paper presents an operational formulation of the tau method based upon orthogonal polynomials by using a reduced set of matrix operations for the numerical solution of nonlinear multi-order fractional differential equations(fdes). the main characteristic behind the approach using this technique is that it reduces such problems to those of solving a system of non-linear algebraic equations....

‎the main purpose of this paper is to study the numerical solution of nonlinear volterra integral equations with constant delays, based on the multistep collocation method. these methods for approximating the solution in each subinterval are obtained by fixed number of previous steps and fixed number of collocation points in current and next subintervals. also, we analyze the convergence of the...

for the nonlinear analysis of structures using the well known newton-raphson method, the tangent stiffness matrices of the elements must be constructed in each iteration. due to the high expense required to find the exact tangent stiffness matrices, researchers have developed novel innovations into the newton-raphson method to reduce the cost and time required by the analysis. in this paper, a ...

augmented downhill simplex method (adsm) is introduced here, that is a heuristic combination of downhill simplex method (dsm) with random search algorithm. in fact, dsm is an interpretable nonlinear local optimization method. however, it is a local exploitation algorithm; so, it can be trapped in a local minimum. in contrast, random search is a global exploration, but less efficient. here, rand...

Homotopy Perturbation Method is an effective method to find a solution of a nonlinear differential equation, subjected to a set of boundary condition. In this method a nonlinear and complex differential equation is transformed to series of linear and nonlinear and almost simpler differential equations. These set of equations are then solved secularly. Finally a linear combination of the solutio...

in this paper a novel hybrid algorithm for harmonics estimation in power systems is proposed. the estimation of the harmonic components is a nonlinear problem due to the nonlinearity of phase of sinusoids in distorted waveforms. most researchers implemented nonlinear methods to extract the harmonic parameters. however, nonlinear methods for amplitude estimation increase time of convergence. hen...
