We consider $Y=X{\lambda}Z,\;{\lambda}>0$, where X and Z are independent random variables, and Y is the length biased distribution or the equilibrium distribution of X. The purpose of this paper is to consider the distribution of X or Y when the distribution of Z is given and the distribution of Z when the distribution of X or Y is given, In particular, we obtain that the necessary and sufficient conditions for X to be $X^{2}({\upsilon})\;is\;Z{\sim}X^{2}(2)\;and\;for\;Z\;to\;be\;X^{2}(1)\;is\;X{\sim}IG({\mu},\;{\mu}^{2}/{\lambda})$, where $IG({\mu},\;{\mu}^{2}/{\lambda})$ is two-parameter inverse Gaussian distribution. Also we show that X is smaller than Y in the reverse Laplace transform ratio order if and only if $X_{e}$ is smaller than $Y_{e}$ in the Laplace transform ratio order. Finally, we can get the results that if X is smaller than Y in the Laplace transform ratio order, then $Y_{L}$ is smaller than $X_{L}$ in the Laplace transform order, and that if X is smaller than Y in the reverse Laplace transform ratio order, then $_{\mu}X_{L}$ is smaller than $_{\nu}Y_{L}$ in the Laplace transform order.

In this paper, a two-layer partial interaction composite beams model considering the higher order shear deformation of sub-elements is built. Then, the governing differential equations and boundary conditions for static analysis of linear elastic higher order composite beams are formulated by means of principle of minimum potential energy. Subsequently, analytical solutions for cantilever composite beams subjected to uniform load are presented by Laplace transform technique. As a comparison, FEM for this problem is also developed, and the results of the proposed FE program are in good agreement with the analytical ones which demonstrates the reliability of the presented exact and finite element methods. Finally, parametric studies are performed to investigate the influences of parameters including rigidity of shear connectors, ratio of shear modulus and slenderness ratio, on deflections of cantilever composite beams, internal forces and stresses. It is revealed that the interfacial slip has a major effect on the deflection, the distribution of internal forces and the stresses.
