in this article the general non-symmetric parametric form of the incremental secant stiffness matrix for nonlinear analysis of solids have been investigated to present a semi analytical sensitivity analysis approach for geometric nonlinear shape optimization. to approach this aim the analytical formulas of secant stiffness matrix are presented. the models were validated and used to perform inve...

the aim of the paper is to analyze electro-thermo nonlinear vibration of a double-piezoelectric composite microplate-system (dpcmps) based on nonlocal piezoelasticity theory. the two microplates are assumed to be connected by an enclosing elastic medium which is simulated by pasternak foundation. both of smart composite microplates are made of poly-vinylidene fluoride (pvdf) reinforced by zigza...

the objectives of this study were to identify a suitable mathematical model for describing the growth curve of baluchi sheep based on monthly records of live weight from birth to yearling; and to evaluate the efficacies of nonlinear mixed effect model (nlmm) and the nonlinear fixed effect model (nlm) methodologies. growth models were fitted to a total of 16,650 weight–age data belonging to 2071...

In the present work, the Rayleigh-Taylor instability of two rotating superposed magnetized fluids within the presence of a vertical or a horizontal magnetic flux has been investigated. The nonlinear theory is applied, by solving the equation of motion and uses the acceptable nonlinear boundary conditions. However, the nonlinear characteristic equation within the elevation parameter is obtained....

Recent investigations have shown that the influences of Soil-Structure Interaction (SSI) may be detrimental to the seismic response of structure, and hence neglecting this phenomenon in analysis and design may lead to an un-conservative design. The objective of this paper is to quantify the effects of nonlinear soil-structure interaction on the seismic response of a low-rise special moment fram...

in this paper, the reduced dierential transform method is investigated fora nonlinear partial dierential equation modeling nematic liquid crystals, itis called the hunter-saxton equation. the main advantage of this methodis that it can be applied directly to nonlinear dierential equations withoutrequiring linearization, discretization, or perturbation. it is a semi analytical-numerical metho...
