nonlinear hunting speeds of railway vehicles running on a tangent track are analytically obtained using hopf bifurcation theory in this paper. the railway vehicle model consists of nonlinear primary yaw dampers, nonlinear flange contact stiffness as well as the clearance between the wheel flange and rail tread. linear and nonlinear critical speeds are obtained using bogoliubov method. a compreh...

this paper proposes a three-step method for solving nonlinear volterra integralequations system. the proposed method convents the system to a (3 × 3)nonlinear block system and then by solving this nonlinear system we ndapproximate solution of nonlinear volterra integral equations system. to showthe advantages of our method some numerical examples are presented.

for many physical systems like vehicles, acceleration can be easily measured for the respective states. however, the outputs are usually affected by stochastic noise disturbance. the mentioned systems are often sensitive to noise and structural uncertainties. furthermore, it is very difficult to estimate the multiple integrals of the signal, acceleration to velocity and velocity to position. in...

we present a structured algorithm for solving constrained nonlinear least squares problems, and establish its local two-step q-superlinear convergence. the approach is based on an adaptive structured scheme due to mahdavi-amiri and bartels of the exact penalty method of coleman and conn for nonlinearly constrained optimization problems. the structured adaptation also makes use of the ideas of n...

in this paper, we implemented the modified iteration perturbation method (mipm) for approximating the periodic behavior of a tapered beam. this problem is formulated as a nonlinear ordinary differential equation with linear and nonlinear terms. the solution is quickly convergent and does not need to complicated calculations. comparing the results of the mipm with the exact solution shows that t...

displacement coefficient method (dcm) stipulated in the asce 41-06 standard is becoming the preferred method for seismic rehabilitation of buildings in many high-seismic-hazard countries. applications of the method for non-building constructions such as bridges are beyond the scope of this standard. thus its application to this kind of structure should be approached with care. target displaceme...

in this work, we conduct a comparative study among the combine laplace transform and modied adomian decomposition method (lmadm) and two traditional methods for an analytic and approximate treatment of special type of nonlinear volterra integro-differential equations of the second kind. the nonlinear part of integro-differential is approximated by adomian polynomials, and the equation is red...

in this paper, the nonlinear free vibrations of thin symmetric and non-symmetric cross-ply composite plates subjected to biaxial initial stresses are investigated. because of their excellent properties such as specific strength and specific stiffness, composite plates have wide applications in aerospace and mechanical structures. based on von-karman's strain-displacement relations and using gal...

this article studied static deflection, natural frequency and nonlinear vibration of a clamped-clamped microbeam under discontinues electrostatic actuation. the electrostatic actuation was induced by applying ac-dc voltage between the microbeam and electrode plate. in contrast to previous works, it was assumed that length of the electrode plate was smaller than that of the microbeam. in additio...
