Quadratic Eigenvalue Problem

We introduce quadratic two-parameter eigenvalue problem and show that we can linearize it as a singular two-parameter eigenvalue problem. This problem, together with another example that comes from model updating, shows the need for nu- merical methods for singular two-parameter eigenvalue problems and for a better understanding of such problems. There are various numerical methods for two-parameter eigenvalue problems, but

The effect of the induced vibrations in the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) arising from the internal fluid flow is a critical issue in the design of CNT-based fluidic devices. In this study, in-plane vibration analysis of curved CNTs conveying fluid embedded in viscoelastic medium is investigated. The CNT is modeled as a linear elastic cylindrical tube where the internal moving fluid is characterized by steady flow velocity and mass density of fluid. A modified-inextensible theory is used in formulation and the steady-state initial forces due to the centrifugal and pressure forces of the internal fluid are also taken into account. The finite element method is used to discretize the equation of motion and the frequencies are obtained by solving a quadratic eigenvalue problem. The effects of CNT opening angle, the elastic modulus and the damping factor of the viscoelastic surrounded medium and fluid velocity on the resonance frequencies are elucidated. It is shown that curved CNTs are unconditionally stable even for a system with sufficiently high flow velocity. The most results presented in this investigation have been absent from the literature for fluid-induced vibration of curved CNTs embedded in viscoelastic foundations.

This paper presents a new computational approach for solving the Regularized Total Least Squares problem. The problem is formulated by adding a quadratic constraint to the Total Least Square minimization problem. Starting from the fact that a quadratically constrained Least Squares problem can be solved via a quadratic eigenvalue problem, an iterative procedure for solving the regularized Total Least Squares problem based on quadratic eigenvalue problems is presented. Discrete ill-posed problems are used as simulation examples in order to numerically validate the method.

The high interlaminar stresses, which appear in laminated composites due to the boundary layer effect near the free edge, play an important role in the analysis and design of advanced structures. Moreover, they are also the dominant effect causing delamination. Even if the singular behavior of such structures is investigated in many works, most of them deal either with 2D,
