Solution of Volterra’s Integro-Differential Equations by Using Variational Iteration Method[ ]


In this paper, we introduce some basic idea of Variational iteration method for short (VIM) to solve the Volterra’s integro-differential equations. The VIM is used to solve effectively, easily, and accurately a large class of non-linear problems with approximations which converge rapidly to accurate solutions. For linear problems, it’s exact solution can be obtained by only one iteration step due to the fact that the Lagrange multiplier can be exactly identified. It is to be noted that the Lagrange multiplier reduces the iteration on integral operator and also minimizes the computational time.

Neural Network Based Control Of Hydraulic System[ ]


In a heavy equipment hydraulic support system, the oil pressure must be a constant value. The hydraulic support system would not be stable due to disruption from the external environment and the running process; hence, we present a closed loop feedback system with an artificial neural network control system to stabilize the oil pressure by controlling the hydraulic pump motor’s rotational speed. The response and stability in this hydraulic system are key factors in determining whether the control method is successful or not .It demonstrate in our simulation that this artificial neural network system can meet the requirements of design. It has good properties of responseandstability.As the neural network mimics the functionality of the brain and can deal with the complexity and non-linearity of the system when properly trained. It should be remembered that the hydraulic control system is not appropriate for high speed cycling.ANN time series is chosen as a suitable tool to provide future driving condition based on past driving conditions and is used for dynamic programming to optimize energy management for a series of hydraulic hybrid vehicle.

Statistical Energy Analysis of structural vibrations: A review[ ]


The paper presents futuristic review on statistical energy analysis of structural vibrations. Statistical Energy Analysis is a structural-acoustic method that is widely used for response prediction at high frequencies. Statistical energy analysis arose during the 1960´s in the aerospace industry to predict the vibrational behaviour, while designing spacecrafts. Statistical energy analysis has been used as an estimation technique for mid and high frequency vibration and sound transmission. Statistical energy analysis has been proven successful and has a wide application ranging from buildings to spacecrafts. Statistical energy analysis is a method for predicting the transmission of sound (energy levels) and vibration through complex structural acoustic systems.

Relationship Between Price and Rate of Production of Crude Oil in Nigeria[ ]


It is expected that significant relationship should exist between price and production of crude oil. However, production may not necessarily determine price or production may not have significant relationship with price due to some factors. Irrespective of the relationship between the key factors, production can be studied independently as well as fluctuation in price of crude oil to determine the future occurrence. In this study, the effect of production was investigated on price of crude oil using scientific approach.
