A higher-order theory for laminated composite beams is used to study the free vibration of laminated composite beams, and the differential quadrature method is employed to obtain the numerical solution of the governing differential equations. Free vibration analysis of beams with rectangular cross-s...

A class of parallel implicit Runge-Kutta formulas is constructed for multiprocessor system. A family of parallel implicit two-stage fourth order Runge-Kutta formulas is given. For these formulas, the convergence is proved and the stability analysis is given. The numerical examples demonstrate that t...

In this paper a method of eigenfunction expansion associated with 2nd order differential equation is developed by using the concept of theory of distribution. An application of the method to the infinite long antenna is described in detail.

Motion planning issues encountered in assembling airplanes by employing the 6PURU parallel mechanism are analyzed in this paper. A sine curve of the change rate of acceleration, which is called as jerk in the following text, is proposed for uniaxial flexible acceleration and deceleration planning ba...

A uniform stability analysis is developed for a type of neutral delays differential equations which depend on more general nonlinear integral inequalities. Many original investigations and results are obtained. Firstly, generations of two integral nonlinear inequalities are presented, which are very...
