Free vibration of layered circular cylindrical shells of variable thickness using spline function approximation.
In the paper, we deal with the equation of a rectangular thin plate with a simply supported boundary. The restoring force being an odd superlinear function of the vertical displacement, the existence of infinitely many nonzero time-periodic solutions is proved.
The paper deals with the problem of quasistatic frictionless contact between an elastic body and a foundation. The elasticity operator is assumed to vanish for zero strain, to be Lipschitz continuous and strictly monotone with respect to the strain as well as Lebesgue measurable on the domain occupied by the body. The contact is modelled by normal compliance in such a way that the penetration is limited and restricted to unilateral contraints. In this problem we take into account adhesion which...
A viscoelastic Kirchhoff equation with Balakrishnan-Taylor damping is considered. Using integral inequalities and multiplier techniques we establish polynomial decay estimates for the energy of the problem. The results obtained in this paper extend previous results by Tatar and Zaraï [25].
Finding sufficient criteria for synchronization of master-slave chaotic systems by replacing variables control has been an open problem in the field of chaos control. This paper presents some recent works on the subject, with emphasis on chaos synchronization of both identical and parametrically mismatched Lur’e systems by replacing variables control. The synchronization schemes are formally constructed and two classes of sufficient criteria for global synchronization, linear matrix inequality criterion...
This paper considers group synchronization issue of diffusively directed coupled harmonic oscillators for two cases with nonidentical and identical agent dynamics. For the case of coupled nonidentical harmonic oscillators with positive coupling, it is demonstrated that distributed group synchronization can always be achieved under two kinds of network structures, i. e., the strongly connected graph and the acyclic partition topology with a directed spanning tree. It is interesting to find that the...
