This paper is concerned with the large-amplitude vibration behavior of simply supported and clamped uniform beams, with axially immovable ends, on Pasternak foundation. The combination of Newton's method and harmonic balance one is used to deal with these vibrations. Explicit and brief analytical approximations to nonlinear frequency and periodic solution of the beams for various values of the two stiffness parameters of the Pasternak foundation, small as well as large amplitudes of oscillation are presented. The analytical approximate results show excellent agreement with those from numerical integration scheme. Due to brevity of expressions, the present analytical approximate solutions are convenient to investigate effects of various parameters on the large-amplitude vibration response of the beams.

Issues related to eigen-vibrations of elastic beams of variable cross-section are discussed. It is noted that one of the common features characteristic of boundary-value problems of mathematical physics is certain ambiguity of their formulations. A boundary-value problem of determining eigen-frequencies of a variable cross-section beam in displacements is formulated. By introducing new variables characterizing the behavior of the system, the boundary-value problem is reduced to three ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients. The new variables have a distinct physical meaning. One of the functions is linear density of the pulse and the other is bending moment in the cross-section of the beam. Such a formulation of the problem of free vibrations of a variable cross-section beam makes it possible to reduce the system of differential equations to a single fourth-order equation written in terms of pulse functions. This equation is equivalent to the initial one, formulated in displacements, but has a different form. A method of integral-differential relations, alternative to classical numerical approaches, is described. The possibility of constructing various bilateral energy-based evaluations of the accuracy of approximate solutions resulting from the method of integral-differential relations is studied. The projection approach to analyzing spectral problems of nonlinear beam theory is considered. The efficiency of the method of integral-differential equations is demonstrated, using the problem of free vibrations of a rectangular beam with a constructional depth quadratically varying along its length. Energy-based evaluations of the accuracy of the approximate solutions constructed using polynomial approximations of the sought functions are presented. It is shown that applying standard Bubnov-Galerkin's method to the problem of free vibrations leads to the appearance of complex eigen-frequencies. At the same time, the ratio of the imaginary component to the real one of the eigen-value is a relative inaccuracy of the solution of the boundary-value problem. The introduced numerical algorithm makes it possible to evaluate unambiguously the local and integral quality of numerical solutions obtained.

AbstractApproximate solutions of SIR equations are given, based on a logistic growth curve in the Biology. These solutions are applied to fix the basic reproduction number α and the removed ratio c, especially from data of accumulated number of deaths in Japan COVID-19. We then discuss the end of the epidemic. These logistic curve results are compared with the exact results of the SIR model.

AbstractA new perturbation method, multiple scales Lindstedt–Poincare (MSLP) is applied to jerk equations with cubic nonlinearities. Three different jerk equations are investigated. Approximate analytical solutions and periods are obtained using MSLP method. Both approximate analytical solutions and periods are contrasted with numerical and exact results. For the case of strong nonlinearities, obtained results are in good agreement with numerical and exact ones.

In this paper we study a problem related to the classical Erdos--Szekeres Theorem on finding points in convex position in planar point sets. We study for which n and k there exists a number h(n,k) such that in every planar point set X of size h(n,k) or larger, no three points on a line, we can find n points forming a vertex set of a convex n-gon with at most k points of X in its interior. Recall that h(n,0) does not exist for n = 7 by a result of Horton. In this paper we prove the following results. First, using Horton's construction with no empty 7-gon we obtain that h(n,k) does not exist for k = 2(n+6)/4-n-3. Then we give some exact results for convex hexagons: every point set containing a convex hexagon contains a convex hexagon with at most seven points inside it, and any such set of at least 19 points contains a convex hexagon with at most five points inside it.
