A method of analysis of the free vibration of a three-layer sandwich beam with an elastic or viscoelastic core and arbitrary boundary conditions is presented. The characteristic equation of the free vibration is derived by applying the Green function which is obtained as a discrete solution of diffe
The design problem considered in this paper is the optimal distribution of pressure drop over a network in which flow-rates are specified, but pipe diameters may vary. By using elements of the duality theory of nonlinear programming, the problem is cast in a form which is computationally attractive.
In this paper, an analytical method for the free vibration of a three-layer, continuous sandwich beam with an elastic or viscoelastic core and arbitrary boundary conditions is presented. The characteristic equation for finding the natural frequencies and modes is derived by introducing a discrete-ty
A method is described for deriving design curves which provide a smooth transition through the various modes of failure of steel beams and are therefore valid over the whole range of beam slendernesses. Comparison with available test results and the theory for perfect beams demonstrates the validity
