Almost All

The equation of motion of a discrete linear system has the form of a second-order ordinary differential equation with three real and square coefficient matrices. It is shown that, for almost all linear systems, such an equation can always be converted by an invertible transformation into a canonical form specified by two diagonal coefficient matrices associated with the generalized acceleration and displacement. This canonical form of the equation of motion is unique up to an equivalence class for non-defective systems. As an important by-product, a damped linear system that possesses three symmetric and positive definite coefficients can always be recast as an undamped and decoupled system.

Orthogonal Functions

The problem involves the determination of a biharmonic generalized plane-stress function satisfying certain boundary conditions. We expand the stress function in a series of non-orthogonal eigenfunctions. Each of these is expanded in a series of orthogonal functions which satisfy a certain fourth-order ordinary differential equation and the boundary conditions implied by the fact that the sides are stress-free. By this method the coefficients involved in the biharmonic stress function corresponding to any arbitrary combination of stress on the end can be obtained directly from two numerical matrices published here The method is illustrated by four examples which cast light on the application of St Venant’s principle to the strip. In a further paper by one of the authors, the method will be applied to the problem of the finite rectangle.

Toroidal Geometry

The existence of quasi-periodic eigensolutions of a linear second order ordinary differential equation with quasi-periodic coefficient f{ω1t, ω2t) is investigated numerically and graphically. For sufficiently incommensurate frequencies ω1, ω2, a doubly indexed infinite sequence of eigenvalues and eigenmodes is obtained.The equation considered is a model for the magneto-hydrodynamic “continuum” in general toroidal geometry. The result suggests that continuum modes exist at least on sufficiently ir-rational magnetic surfaces

Backward Differentiation Formula

This paper is aimed at deriving a 2-point zero stable numerical algorithm of block backward differentiation formula using Taylor series expansion, for solving first order ordinary differential equation. The order and zero stability of the method are investigated and the derived method is found to be zero stable and of order 3. Hence, the method is suitable for solving first order ordinary differential equation. Implementation of the method has been considered

Abstract We analyze a suspended pipe with the application to offshore pipelaying and suspended production risers. Basic equations from the planar theory of elastic rods are reduced to a second-order ordinary differential equation with special end conditions that is solved numerically. Dimensionless results are given for the maximum curvature in the sag portion of the pipe and the slope angle at the upper end of the pipe in the absence of hydrodynamic forces. Both a rigid and a compliant seafloor are treated. We find that tension is highly effective in limiting curvature. A equation is found for the applied tension at the upper end of the pipe. Our results are intended for preliminary design studies that can be followed by more sophisticated analyses.

AbstractIn this work, the solvability of a generally nonlocal problem is investigated for a third order linear ordinary differential equation with variable principal coefficient. A novel adjoint problem and Green’s functional are constructed for a completely nonhomogeneous problem. Several illustrative applications for the theoretical results are provided.
