The study of dynamic response of beam-like structures to moving or static loads has attracted and still attracting a lot of attention due to its wide range of applications in the construction and transportation industry especially when transverse by travelling masses. Hence, analytical solution for the boundary value problem (BVP) of elastic beams subjected to distributed load was investigated. The partial differential equation of order four were analysed to determine the dynamic response of the elastic beam under consideration and solved analytically. Effects of different parameters such as the mass of the load, the length of the moving load, the distance covered by the moving load, the speed of the moving and the axial force were considered. Result revealed that the values of the deflection with acceleration being considered increases than the system where acceleration of the moving load is negligible.

Analytical solution for the boundary value problem (BVP) of elastic beams subjected to distributed load was investigated. Based on the study, dynamic application curves are developed for beam deflection. The partial differential equation of order four were analysed to determine the dynamic response of the elastic beam under consideration and solved analytically. Effects of different parameters such as the mass of the load, the length of the moving load, the distance covered by the moving load, the speed of the moving and the axial force were considered. Result revealed that the values of the deflection with acceleration being considered are higher than the system where acceleration of the moving load is negligible. These obtained results are in agreement with the existing results.

The first boundary value problem of the theory of elasticity for an anisotropic elastic half-space is solved when a transport load moves along its surface. The subsonic Raleigh case is considered, when the velocity of motion is less than the velocity of propagation of bulk and surface elastic waves. The Green’s tensor of the transport boundary value problem is constructed and on its basis the solution of boundary value problems for a wide class of distributed traffic loads is given. To solve the problem, the methods of tensor and linear algebra, integral Fourier transform, and operator method for solving systems of differential equations were used. The obtained solution makes it possible to investigate the dynamics of the rock mass for a wide class of transport loads, in a wide range of velocities, both low velocities and high velocities, and to evaluate the strength properties of the rock mass under the influence of road transport. In particular, determine the permissible velocities of its movement and carrying capacity. In addition, a investigation on its basis of the movement of the day surface along the route will make it possible to establish criteria for the seismic resistance of ground structures and the permissible distances of their location from the route.

By using conformal mappings, it is possible to express the solution of certain boundary-value problems for the Laplace equation in terms of a single integral involving the given boundary data. We show that such explicit formulae can be used to obtain novel identity for special functions. A convenient tool for deriving this type of identity is the so-called global relation , which has appeared recently in a wide range of boundary-value problems. As a concrete application, we analyse the Neumann boundary-value problem for the Laplace equation in the exterior of the Hankel contour, which appears in the definition of both the gamma and the Riemann zeta functions. By using the explicit solution of this problem, we derive a number of novel identities involving the hypergeometric function. Also, we point out an interesting connection between the solution of the above Neumann boundary-value problem for a particular set of Neumann data and the Riemann hypothesis.

We present a reduced-order model and closed-form expressions describing the response of a micromechanical filter made up of two clamped-clamped microbeam capacitive resonators coupled by a weak microbeam. The model accounts for geometrical and electrical nonlinearities as well as the coupling between them. It is obtained by discretizing the distributed-parameter system using the Galerkin procedure. The basis functions are the linear undamped global mode shapes of the unactuated filter. Closed-form expressions for these mode shapes and the coressponding natural frequencies are obtained by formulating a boundary-value problem (BVP) that is composed of five equations and twenty boundary conditions. This problem is transformed into solving a system of twenty linear homogeneous algebraic equations for twenty constants and the natural frequencies. We predict the deflection and the voltage at which the static pull-in occurs by solving another boundary-value problem (BVP). We also solve an eigenvalue problem (EVP) to determine the two natural frequencies delineating the bandwidth of the actuated filter. Using the method of multiple scales, we determine four first-order nonlinear ODEs describing the amplitudes and phases of the modes. We found a good agreement between the results obtained using our model and the published experimental results. We found that the filter can be tuned to operate linearly for a wide range of input signal strengths by choosing a DC voltage that makes the effective nonlinearities vanish.

Fourth order boundary value problems arise in the study of the equilibrium of an elastaic beam under an external load. The author earlier investigated the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of the nonlinear analogues of fourth order boundary value problems that arise in the equilibrium of an elastic beam depending on how the ends of the beam are supported. This paper concerns the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the fourth order boundary value problems with periodic boundary conditions.
