THREE-DIMENSIONAL THERMOELASTIC ANALYSIS OF FUNCTIONALLY GRADED PLATE

Three-dimensional thermoelastic analysis is presented for an orthotropic functionally graded rectangular plate,which is simply supported and isothermal on its four lateral edges.With the assumption that material properties have arbitrary dependence on the thickness-coordinate,a Peano-Baker series solution is obtained for the thermoelastic fields of the functionally graded plate subjected to mechanical and thermal loads on its upper and lower surfaces by means of state space method.The correctness of the obtained series solution is validated through numerical examples.The influence of different material properties distributions on the structural response of the plate is also studied.     

Effects of anti-symmetric nonlinear viscous damping on the force transmissibility of multi-degree of freedom structures

In the present study, the concept of the output frequency response function is applied to theoretically investigate the force transmissibility of multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) structures with a nonlinear anti-symmetric viscous damping. The results reveal that an anti-symmetric nonlinear viscous damping can significantly reduce the transmissibility over all resonance regions for MDOF structures while it has almost no effect on the transmissibility over non-resonant and isolation regions. The results indicate that the vibration isolators with an anti-symmetric damping characteristic have great potential to overcome the dilemma in the design of linear viscously damped vibration isolators where an increase of the damping level reduces the force transmissibility over resonant region but increases the transmissibility over non-resonant regions.

Universality properties of Taylor series inside the domain of holomorphy

It is proven that the Taylor series of functions holomorphic in C_∞?{1} generically have certain universality properties on small sets outside the unit disk. Moreover, it is shown that such sets necessarily are polar sets.     

Asymptotic formulae for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of q‐Sturm‐Liouville problems

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues and the eigenfunctions of q‐Sturm‐Liouville eigenvalue problems. For this aim we study the asymptotic behavior of q‐trigonometric functions as well as fundamental sets of solutions of the associated second order q‐difference equation. As in classical Sturm‐Liouville theory, the eigenvalues behave like zeros of q‐trigonometric functions and the eigenfunctions behave like q‐trigonometric functions. © 2011 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Universal series induced by approximate identities and some relevant applications

We prove the existence of series ∑a_nψ_n, whose coefficients (a_n) are in ∩_p>1?^p and whose terms (ψ_n) are translates by rational vectors in R^d of a family of approximations to the identity, having the property that the partial sums are dense in various spaces of functions such as Wiener’s algebra W(C₀,?¹), C_b(R^d), C₀(R^d), L^p(R^d), for every p∈[1,∞), and the space of measurable functions. Applying this theory to particular situations, we establish approximations by such series to solutions of the heat and Laplace equations as well as to probability density functions.     

A polynomial expression for the Hilbert series of the quotient ring of diagonal coinvariants

A special case of Haiman?s identity [M. Haiman, Vanishing theorems and character formulas for the Hilbert scheme of points in the plane, Invent. Math. 149 (2002) 371–407] for the character of the quotient ring of diagonal coinvariants under the diagonal action of the symmetric group yields a formula for the bigraded Hilbert series as a sum of rational functions in q,t. In this paper we show how a summation identity of Garsia and Zabrocki for Macdonald polynomial Pieri coefficients can be used to transform Haiman?s formula for the Hilbert series into an explicit polynomial in q,t with integer coefficients. We also provide an equivalent formula for the Hilbert series as the constant term in a multivariate Laurent series.     

A collocation approach for the numerical solution of certain linear retarded and advanced integrodifferential equations with linear functional arguments

This article presents a Taylor collocation method for the approximate solution of high‐order linear Volterra‐Fredholm integrodifferential equations with linear functional arguments. This method is essentially based on the truncated Taylor series and its matrix representations with collocation points. Some numerical examples, which consist of initial and boundary conditions, are given to show the properties of the technique. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq, 2011
