In this study, based on nonlocal differential constitutive relations of Eringen, the first order shear deformation theory of plates (FSDT) is reformulated for vibration of nano-plates considering the initial geometric imperfection. The dynamic analog of the von Kármán nonlinear strain-displacement relations is used to derive equations of motion for the nano-plate. When dealing with nonlineariti...

This paper deals with the stability of Runge–Kutta methods for a class of stiff systems of nonlinear Volterra delay-integro-differential equations. Two classes of methods are considered: Runge–Kutta methods extended with a compound quadrature rule, and Runge– Kutta methods extended with a Pouzet type quadrature technique. Global and asymptotic stability criteria for both types of methods are de...

In this study, vibration of initially imperfect cracked thick plate has been investigated using the differential quadrature method. The crack modeled as an open crack using a no-mass linear spring. The governing equations of vibration of a cracked plate are derived using the Mindlin theory and considering the effect of initial imperfection in Von-Karman equations. Differential equations are dis...

A general class of convergent methods for the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations is employed to obtain a class of convergent generalized reducible quadrature methods for Volterra integral equations of the second kind and Volterra integro-differential equations.

The differential quadrature method (DQM) is one of the most elegant and useful approximate methods for solving initial and/or boundary value problems. It is easy to use and also straightforward to implement. However, the conventional DQM is well-known to have some difficulty in implementing multiple initial and/or boundary conditions at a given discrete point. To overcome this difficulty, this ...

This paper describes the design and optimization of voltage controlled oscillators with quadrature outputs. Systematic design of fully integrated LC-VCOs with a high inductance tank leads to a cross-coupled double core LC-VCO as the optimal solution in terms of power consumption. Futhermore, a novel fully differential frequency tuning concept is introduced to ease high integration. The concepts...
