this paper presents the application of the generalized differential quadrature (gdq) method for the hydrodynamic analysis of circular and noncircular, two lobe and three lobe, journal bearings. gdq is a simple, efficient, high-order numerical technique and it uses the information on all grid points to approach the derivatives of the unknown function. the effectiveness of the solution technique ...

Numerical solutions of the generalized Burgers-Fisher equation are presented based on a polynomial-based differential quadrature method with minimal computational effort. To achieve this, a combination of a polynomial-based differential quadrature method in space and a third-order strong stability preserving Runge-Kutta scheme in time have been used. The proposed technique successfully worked t...

In this paper, numerical spline-based differential quadrature is presented for solving the boundary and initial value problems, and its application is used to solve the fixed rectangular membrane vibration equation. For the time integration of the problem, the Runge–Kutta and spline-based differential quadrature methods have been applied. The Runge–Kutta method was unstable for solving the prob...

this paper presents a nonlinear model of a clamped-clamped microbeam actuated by an electrostatic load with stretching and thermoelastic effects. the frequency of free vibration is calculated by discretization based on the differential quadrature (dq) method. by separating the real and imaginary parts of frequency, the quality factor of thermoelastic damping is calculated. both the stretching a...

Piezoelectric materials, due to their electromechanical coupling properties, are widely used as actuators and sensors in intelligent structures control vibrations bends of multilayer sheets with piezoelectric layers. In this paper, the response free a composite shell new Generalized Differential Quadrature Method (GDQM) for different boundary conditions is investigated. The governing equations ...

in this paper deflection and free vibration of sandwich panel is studied. the core of sandwich panels is made of hexagonal honeycomb and faces are made of two different materials of carbon fiber reinforced plastic and k-aryl/epoxy covering. the governing equations are deduced from the first order sheer deformation theory (fsdt) and they are solved using generalized differential quadrature metho...

Nowadays, the technology intends to use materials such as magnesium alloys due to their high strength to weight ratio in engine components. As usual, engine cylinder heads and blocks has made of various types of cast irons and aluminum alloys. However, magnesium alloys has physical and mechanical properties near to aluminum alloys and reduce the weight up to 40 percents. In this article, a new ...
