Built-up systems consisting of rectangular cable networks covered by or embedded in a membrane matrix are considered; small oscillations about an initially flat, pretensioned state are studied. By employing Dirac delta functions to aid in representation of preload and weight distribution acting on the system, the system response is shown to be given by a generalized version of the equation for a vibrating membrane. A solution of the field equation is effected using Galerkin’s method and approximating functions are suggested for a wide class of boundary shapes. As an illustration of the method a rectangular boundary shape is considered and results are obtained for typical values of preload, cable distribution, etc. Results are compared with previous analyses of similar systems, and advantages of the present approach are discussed.

Steady-state modelling method for matrix-reactance frequency converter with boost topologyThis paper presents a method intended for calculation of steady-state processes in AC/AC three-phase converters that are described by nonstationary periodical differential equations. The method is based on the extension of nonstationary differential equations and the use of Galerkin's method. The results of calculations are presented in the form of a double Fourier series. As an example, a three-phase matrix-reactance frequency converter (MRFC) with boost topology is considered and the results of computation are compared with a numerical method.

Abstract In this paper, a semi-analytical solution for free vibration differential equations of curved girders is proposed based on their mathematical properties and vibration characteristics. The solutions of in-plane vibration differential equations are classified into two cases: one only considers variable separation of non-longitudinal vibration, while the other is a synthesis method addressing both longitudinal and non-longitudinal vibration using Rayleigh’s modal assumption and variable separation method. A similar approach is employed for the out of- plane vibration, but further mathematical operations are conducted to incorporate the coupling effect of bending and twisting. In this case study, the natural frequencies of a curved girder under different boundary conditions are obtained using the two proposed methods, respectively. The results are compared with those from the finite element analysis (FEA) and results show good convergence.

Abstract A new solution technique is developed for solving the moving mass problem for nonconservalive, linear, distributed parameter systems using complex eigenfunction expansions. Traditional Galerkin analysis of this problem using complex eigenfunctions fails in the limit of large numbers of terms because complex eigenfunctions are not linearly independent. This linear dependence problem is circumvented in the method proposed here by applying a modal constraint on the velocity of the distributed parameter system (Renshaw, 1997). This constraint is valid for all complete sets of eigenfunctions but must be applied with care for finite dimensional approximations of concentrated loads such as found in the moving mass problem. A set of real differential ordinary equations in time are derived which require exactly as much work to solve as Galerkin’s method with a set of real, linearly independent trial functions. Results indicate that the proposed method is competitive with traditional Galerkin’s method in terms of speed, accuracy and convergence.
