The governing equation, a nonlinear partial-differential equation, is derived from the viscoelastic constitution relation using the material derivative. The differential quadrature scheme is developed to solve numerically the governing equation. Based on the numerical solutions, the nonlinear dynamical behaviors are identified by use of the Poincare map and the phase portrait. The bifurcation diagrams are presented in the case that the mean axial speed and the amplitude of the speed fluctuation are respectively varied while other parameters are fixed. The Lyapunov exponent and the initial value sensitivity of the different points of the beam, calculated from the time series based on the numerical solutions, are used to indicate periodic motions or chaotic motions occurring in the transverse motion of the axially accelerating viscoelastic beam.展开更多

The OFDM transmitter and receiver are modeled through MATLAB/Simulink tool. The electrical-optical-electrical （EOE） response of the VLC channel, which is also the re- sponse of the detector, is derived based on Lambert＇s lighting model. Then the modeling on the overall OFDM/VLC system is established by combining the above three models together. The effects of the factors which include the digital modulation, Reed-Solomon （RS） coding, pilot form, pilot ratio （PR） and communication distance on the bit error rate （BER） of the system are discussed. The results show that through the use of RS coding, block pilot, quad- rate phase shift keying （QPSK） modulation and a suitable pilot ratio about 1/3, under the communication rate about 550 kbit/s, the BER can be dropped to below 10^-5, and the communication distance can reach 0.9 m.展开更多

For the analytical model, the effect of the nonlinear elastic foundation is modeled by a nonlinear restraining force. By using an iterative algorithm, a set of ordinary differential dynamical equations derived from the equation of motion of the system are solved numerically and then the bifurcations are analyzed. The numerical results, in which the existence of chaos is demonstrated, are presented in the form of phase portraits of the oscillations. The intermittency transition to chaos has been found to arise.展开更多

From the relationship between the weighting function of orthogonal polynomial and probability density function （PDF） of random variable, the numerical integration formulas are derived for moment computation. Then, distribution of structural uncertainty response can be approximated by the CGC series with the calculated moments. Three engineering appli- cations for the distribution of, the maximum displacement of a ten-bar planer truss, natural frequency of an auto frame, and Von-Mises stress of a bending pipe, are employed to illustrate the computational efficiency and accuracy of the proposed methodology. As compared with plain Monte Carlo simulation （MCS）, the method can obtain the accurate distribution of structural performance. Especially at the tail region of cumulative distribution function （CDF）, results have shown the satisfy- ing estimators for small probabilities, say, Pc [104, 10-3]. That implies the method could be trusted for structural failure prob- ability prediction. As the computational efficiency is concerned, the procedure could save more than two orders of computational resources as compared with the direct numerical integration （NI） and MCS. Furthermore, realization of the procedure does not require computing the performance gradient or Hessian matrix with respect to random variables, or reshaping the finite element matrix as other stochastic finite element （SFE） codes. Therefore, it should be an efficient and reliable routine for uncertainty structural analysis.展开更多

A partial-differential equation is derived from the governing equation of coupled planar motion by omit- ting its longitudinal terms. The model can be reduced to an integro-partial-differential equation by av- eraging the beam disturbed tension. Numerical schemes are respectively presented for the governing equations of coupled planar and the two governing equations of transverse motion via the finite dif- ference method and differential quadrature method under the fixed boundary and the simple support boundary. A steel beam and a copper beam are treated as examples to demonstrate the deviations of the solutions to the two transverse equations from the solution to the coupled equation. The numerical results indicate that the differences increase with the amplitude of vibration and the axial speed. Both models yield almost the same precision results for small amplitude vibration and the inte- gro-partial-differential equation gives better results for large amplitude vibration.展开更多

Material properties vary continuously and smoothly through the beam thickness, leading to variable coefficients in the state equation derived from the elasticity equations. Approximate laminate model is employed to translate the state equation into the one with constant coefficients in each layer. To avoid numerical instability, joint coupling matrices are introduced according to the continuity conditions at interfaces in the approximate model. The differential quadrature procedure is applied to discretizing the beam in the axial direction to make easy the treatment of arbitrary end conditions. A simply-supported beam with exponentially varying material properties is considered to validate the present method. Numerical examples are performed to investigate the influences of relative parameters.展开更多

The modulation employs nonorthogonal PSWF pulses to transmit information and it shows a higher capacity than traditional orthogonal modulations. The NPSM capacity under the constraint of finite input alphabet, which is determined by parameters of PSWF pulse, is derived. An optimiza- tion model for maximal capacity of NPSM is constructed and an exhaustive self-adapting gradient search algorithm for the model is proposed. A practical NPSM scheme with the maximal capacity is obtained by this search algorithm and it is proved to be superior to orthogonal signaling in the capacity. Our theoretical analysis is validated by numerical simulations and practical tests, and the results show that NPSM outperforms orthogonal modulations in the capacity and has a lower Peak-to-Average Power Ratio.展开更多

The effects of two geometrical parameters on the first band gap of this periodic beam are investigated by the generalized differential quadrature rule （GDQR） method. The GDQR method is also used to calculate the forced vibration response of the beam and voltage of each piezoelectric layer when the beam is subject to a sinusoidal base excitation. Results obtained from the analytical method are compared with those obtained from the finite element simulation with ANSYS, and good agreement is found. The voltage output of this periodic beam over its first band gap is calculated and compared with the voltage output of the uniform piezoelectric beam. It is concluded that this periodic beam has three advantages over the uniform piezoelectric beam, i.e., generating more voltage outputs over a wide frequency range, absorbing vibration, and being less weight.展开更多

However, difficu...The precise time step integration method proposed for linear time-invariant homogeneous dynamic systems can provide precise numerical results that approach an exact solution at the integration points. However, difficulty arises when the algorithm is used for non-homogeneous dynamic systems, due to the inverse matrix calculation and the simulation accuracy of the applied loading. By combining the Gaussian quadrature method and state space theory with the calculation technique of matrix exponential function in the precise time step integration method, a new modified precise time step integration method （e.g., an algorithm with an arbitrary order of accuracy） is proposed. In the new method, no inverse matrix calculation or simulation of the applied loading is needed, and the computing efficiency is improved. In particular, the proposed method is independent of the quality of the matrix H. If the matrix H is singular or nearly singular, the advantage of the method is remarkable. The numerical stability of the proposed algorithm is discussed and a numerical example is given to demonstrate the validity and efficiency of the algorithm.展开更多
