In this paper, bending analysis of concentric and eccentric beam stiffened square and rectangular plate using the meshless collocation method has been investigated. For detecting the governing equations of plate and beams, Mindlin plate theory and Timoshenko beam theory have been used, respectively, with the stiffness matrices of the plate and the beams obtained separately. The stiffness matric...

Moment vector equations (MVEs) are presented for use in approximating and analyzing multi-dimensional non-linear discreteand continuous-time equations. A non-linear equation is expanded into simultaneous equations of generalized moments and then reduced to an MVE of a coefficient matrix and a moment vector. The MVE can be used to analyze the statistical properties, such as the mean, variance, c...

Exact moment equations for nonlinear Itô processes are derived. Taylor expansion of the drift and diffusion coefficients around the first conditional moment gives a hierarchy of coupled moment equations which can be closed by truncation or a Gaussian assumption. The state transition density is expanded into a Hermite orthogonal series with leading Gaussian term and the Fourier coefficients are ...

the present article focuses on the evaluation of a first-moment closure model applicable to film cooling flow and heat transfer computations. the present first-moment closure model consists of a higher level of turbulent heat flux modeling in which two additional transport equations for temperature variance kθ and its dissipation rate εθ are considered. it not only employs a time scale that is ...

in this paper, we present a new iterative method with order of convergence eighth for solving nonlinear equations. periteration this method requires three evaluations of the function and one evaluation of its first derivative. a general error analysis providing the eighth order of convergence is given. several numerical examples are given to illustrate the efficiency and performance of the new ...

In order to predict the structural responses under random wind loads to avoid catastrophe failures, structural dynamic analysis is necessary, which requires a reasonable description of wind loads on structures. Based on the equations of fluid mechanics, equations for aerodynamic forces for structures in motion and coefficients of drag, lift and pitching moment for static structures are derived ...

Using moment equations we analyze collective flavor transformation of supernova neutrinos. We study the convergence of moment equations and find that numerical results using a few moment converge quite fast. We study effects of emission angle distribution of neutrinos on neutrino sphere. We study scaling law of the amplitude of neutrino self-interaction Hamiltonian and find that it depends on m...
