We seek the sign changing periodic solutions of the nonlinear wave equation $u_{tt}-u_{xx}=a(x,t)g(u)$ under Dirichlet boundary and periodic conditions. We show that the problem has at least one solution or two solutions whether $\frac{1}{2}g(u)u-G(u)$ is bounded or not.

In this paper, design sensivity of plate natural frequency is computed for thickness design variables. Once the variational equation is derived from Lagrange quation using the virtual displacement, governing energy bilinear form is obtained and sensivity equation is formulated through the first variation. Natural frequency is obtained using the commercial FEM code and the accuracy of sensivity is verified by finite difference. The accuracy of natural frequency and sensivity improves for the fine mesh model.

Piezoceramic patches as collocated actuator and sensors are widely used in mechanical control systems. An approximation scheme for computing feedback gains arising in heat flux stabilization problem with such control mechanism is introduced. The scheme is based on a finite element method and a variational approach.

Let u be a function on a locally finite graph G = (V, E) and Ω be a bounded subset of V. Let 𝜀 > 0, p > 2 and 0 ≤ λ < λ₁(Ω) be constants, where λ₁(Ω) is the first eigenvalue of the discrete Laplacian, and h : V → ℝ be a function satisfying h ≥ 0 and $h{\not\equiv}0$. We consider a perturbed Yamabe equation, say $$\{\begin{array}{lll}-{\Delta}u-{\lambda}u={\mid}u{\mid}^{p-2}u+{\varepsilon}h,&&\text{ in }{\Omega},\\u=0,&&\text{ on }{\partial}{\Omega},\end{array}$$ where Ω and ∂Ω denote the interior and the boundary of Ω, respectively. Using variational methods, we prove that there exists some positive constant 𝜀₀ > 0 such that for all 𝜀 ∈ (0, 𝜀₀), the above equation has two distinct solutions. Moreover, we consider a more general nonlinear equation $$\{\begin{array}{lll}-{\Delta}u=f(u)+{\varepsilon}h,&&\text{ in }{\Omega},\\u=0,&&\text{ on }{\partial}{\Omega},\end{array}$$ and prove similar result for certain nonlinear term f(u).

This paper presents an innovative stress-function variational approach in formulating the interfacial shear and normal stresses in an externally bonded concrete joint using carbon fiber-reinforced plastic (CFRP) plies. The joint is subjected to surface traction loadings applied at both ends of the concrete substrate layer. By introducing two interfacial shear and normal stress functions on the CFRP-concrete interface, based on Euler-Bernoulli beam idea and static stress equations of equilibrium, the entire stress fields of the joint were determined. The complementary strain energy was minimized in order to solve the governing equation of the joint. This yields an ordinary differential equation from which the interfacial normal and shear stresses were proposed explicitly, satisfying all the multiple traction boundary conditions. Lamination theory for composite materials was also employed to obtain the interfacial stresses. The proposed approach was validated by the analytic models in the literature as well as through a comprehensive computational code generated by the authors. Furthermore, a numerical verification was carried out via the finite element software ABAQUS. In the end, a scaling analysis was conducted to analyze the interfacial stress field dependence of the joint upon effective issues using the devised code.

To operate a flexible mechanism in high speed its weight must be reduced as far as the structural strength does not decrease too much, but a light-weighted mechanism causes undesirable elastodynamic responses deteriorating the system performance. Besides, clearance within the connections of mechanisms causes rapid wear, increased noise and vibration. Even if the problems described above must be considered in the initial design stage, there has been no effective design process which takes account of the correlation between dynamic characteristics of flexible mechanism and the clearance effect at the joint. In this study, the generalized elastodynamic governing equations which include dynamic characteristics and boundary conditions of flexible mechanism are derived by variational calculus and solved by using FFM theory. To take the clearance effect at joint into account a new dynamic model is presented and also the method of modified stiffness/damping matrix is proposed to activate the dynamic clearance model, which cooperates with the developed governing equation very easily. As the results of this study, the proposed method(modified stiffness/damping matrix) to calculate clearance effect was proved to be superior to the existing one(force reaction method) in solution convergency and calculation performance. Besides this method can be easily adopted to the complex shape joint without calculation of reaction force direction.

The objective of this paper is setting out, for a cable-stayed bridge with a curtain suspension, a method to determine the modes of vibration of the structure. The system of differential equations governing the vibrations of the bridge, derived by means of a variational formulation in a nonlinear field, is reported in Appendix C. The whole analysis results from the application of Hamilton's principle, using the expressions of potential and kinetic energies and of the virtual work made by viscous damping forces of the various parts of the bridge (Monaco and Fiore 2003). This paper focuses on the equation concerning the transversal motion of the girder of the cable-stayed bridge and in particular on its final form obtained, restrictedly to the linear case, neglecting some quantities affecting the solution in a non-remarkable way. In the hypotheses of normal mode of vibration and of steady-state, we propose the resolution of this equation by a particular method based on a numerical approach. Respecting the boundary conditions, we derive, for each mode of vibration, the corresponding frequency, both natural and damped, the shape-function of the girder axis and the exponential function governing the variability of motion amplitude in time. Finally the results so obtained are compared with those deriving from the dynamic analysis performed by a finite elements calculation program.
