THE equation of the plot of thermogravimetric data is useful in kinetic analysis (1–12), but since it contains an exponential integral, many workers prefer approximate expressions.

We analyze a nonlinear shock-capturing scheme for H1-conforming, piecewise-affine finite element approximations of linear elliptic problems. The meshes are assumed to satisfy two standard conditions: ...

Blasting is considered an indispensable process in mining excavation operations. Generally, only a small percentage of the total energy of blasting is consumed in the fragmentation and displacement of ...

A new two-step second derivative block method (TSDBM) using Bernstein polynomial of convergence order six for solving Riccati Differential Equations (RDEs) is presented. The TSDBM is constructed on ...

The Rayleigh-Ritz approximation is employed to describe the deformation of the beam, incorporating various boundary conditions and defining the generalized coordinates. Finally, the Hamiltonian ...
