The bending stiffness EI varies continuously along the length of the beam. Dynamic equation yields differential equation with variable co- efficients based on the model of the Euler-Bernoulli beam. Then differential equation with variable coefficients becomes that with constant coefficients by variable substitution. At last, the study obtains the solution of dy- namic equation. The cantilever beam is an object for analysis. When the flexural rigidity at free end is a constant and that at clamped end is varied, the dynamic characteristics are analyzed under several cases. The results dem- onstrate that the natural angular frequency reduces as the fiexural rigidity reduces. When the rigidity of clamped end is higher than that of free end, low-level mode contributes the larger displacement response to the total re- sponse. On the contrary, the contribution of low-level mode is lesser than that of hi^h-level mode.展开更多

The height of the surge tank is then designed using this high water level mark generated by the completely closed penstock valve. Using a conical surge tank with a non-constant cross-sectional area can resolve the problems of space and height. When addressing issues in designing open surge tanks, key parameters are usually calculated by using complex equations, which may become cumbersome when multiple iterations are required. A more effective alternative in obtaining these values is the use of simple charts. Firstly, this paper presents and describes the equations used to design open conical surge tanks. Secondly, it introduces user-friendly charts that can be used in the design of cylindrical and conical open surge tanks. The contribution can be a benefit for practicing engineers in this field. A case study is also presented to illustrate the use of these design charts. The case study’s results show that key parameters obtained via successive approximation method required 26 iterations or complex calculations, whereas these values can be obtained by simple reading of the proposed chart. The use of charts to help surge tanks designing, in the case of preliminary designs, can save time and increase design efficiency, while reducing calculation errors.展开更多

The methodology ...The Complex Variable Boundary Element Method (CVBEM) procedure is extended to modeling applications of the two-dimensional linear diffusion partial differential equation (PDE) on a rectangular domain. The methodology in this work is suitable for modeling diffusion problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions and an initial condition that is equal on the boundary to the boundary conditions. The underpinning of the modeling approach is to decompose the global initial-boundary value problem into a steady-state component and a transient component. The steady-state component is governed by the Laplace PDE and is modeled using the Complex Variable Boundary Element Method. The transient component is governed by the linear diffusion PDE and is modeled by a linear combination of basis functions that are the products of a two-dimensional Fourier sine series and an exponential function. The global approximation function is the sum of the approximate solutions from the two components. The boundary conditions of the steady-state problem are specified to match the boundary conditions from the global problem so that the CVBEM approximation function satisfies the global boundary conditions. Consequently, the boundary conditions of the transient problem are specified to be continuously zero. The initial condition of the transient component is specified as the difference between the initial condition of the global initial-boundary value problem and the CVBEM approximation of the steady-state solution. Therefore, when the approximate solutions from the two components are summed, the resulting global approximation function approximately satisfies the global initial condition. In this work, it will be demonstrated that the coupled global approximation function satisfies the governing diffusion PDE. Lastly, a procedure for developing streamlines at arbitrary model time is discussed.展开更多
