The flight of a migratory bird-like flapping-wing aircraft is characterized by a low Reynolds number and unsteadiness. The selection of airfoil profiles is critical to designing an efficient flapping-wing aircraft. To choose the suitable airfoil for vari...

The electromagnetic interaction between a circular disk with finite conductivity and finite thickness and a coaxial circular loop of constant current is addressed here. The finite conductivity and thickness of the material disk lead to the adoption of su...

The use of boundary elements in the analysis of exterior acoustic problems poses challenges at specific frequencies, since fictitious eigenfrequencies may arise at the internal resonances of cavities, leading to inaccurate results or even unstable behavi...

This paper considers a trajectory-tracking control algorithm for underactuated marine vehicles moving horizontally in which the current in the North-East-Down frame is constant. This algorithm is a modification of a control scheme based on the input-outp...

Integro-differential equations involving Volterra and Fredholm operators (VFIDEs) are used to model many phenomena in science and engineering. Nonlocal boundary conditions are more effective, and in some cases necessary, because they are more accurate me...

A common strategy for studying the nonlinear vibrations of beams is to discretize the nonlinear partial differential equation into a nonlinear ordinary differential equation or equations through the Galerkin method. Then, the oscillations of beams are ex...

The free transverse vibration of a surface-piercing, vertical cylinder partially submerged in water was studied. The cylinder had an arbitrary non-circular, but symmetric, cross-section in the vibration direction. The water was assumed to be an incompres...
