Sound radiation from a beam resting on a viscoelastic foundation is analytically studied when it is subjected to a moving load. The topic could cover a range of applications such as submerged floating tunnels, buried pipelines, and railway tracks. Galerkin’s method is employed to obtain the transverse vibration of the beam. Based on the Rayleigh integral approach, acoustic pressure distribution around the beam is obtained in the time domain. In the second part of this paper, corresponding displacement and acoustic pressure are obtained by the use of the Rayleigh-Ritz approach in conjunction with the Laplace transform method and by the use of the Fourier transform, respectively. Durbin’s numerical Laplace transform inversion scheme is eventually employed to obtain dynamic responses. A parametric study is then carried out and influences of the design parameters as well as the loading conditions on the acoustic pressure field are investigated.

In this paper, the polarized neutron structure function [Formula: see text] in the [Formula: see text] nucleus is investigated and an analytical solution based on the Laplace transform method for [Formula: see text] is presented. It is shown that the neutron spin structure function can be extracted directly from the polarized nuclear structure function of [Formula: see text]. The nuclear corrections due to the Fermi motion of the nucleons as well as the binding energy considerations are taken into account within the framework of the convolution approach and the polarized structure function of [Formula: see text] nucleus is expressed in terms of the spin structure functions of nucleons and the light-cone momentum distribution of the constituent nucleons. Then, the numerical results for [Formula: see text] are compared with experimental data of the SMC and HERMES collaborations. We found that there is an overall good agreement between the theory and experiments.

This paper explores the technique for the computer aided numerical inversion of Laplace transform. The inversion technique is based on the properties of a family of three parameter exponential probability density functions. The only limitation in the technique is the word length of the computer being used. The Laplace transform has been used extensively in the frequency domain solution of linear, lumped time invariant networks but its application to the time domain has been limited, mainly because of the difficulty in finding the necessary poles and residues. The numerical inversion technique mentioned above does away with the poles and residues but uses precomputed numbers to find the time response. This technique is applicable to the solution of partially differentiable equations and certain classes of linear systems with time varying components.
