Stationary and non-stationary probability density function for non-linear oscillators
1997
A method for the evaluation of the stationary and non-stationary probability density function of non-linear oscillators subjected to random input is presented. The method requires the approximation of the probability density function of the response in terms of C-type Gram-Charlier series expansion. By applying the weighted residual method, the Fokker-Planck equation is reduced to a system of non-linear first order ordinary differential equations, where the unknowns are the coefficients of the series expansion. Furthermore, the relationships between the A-type and C-type Gram-Charlier series coefficient are derived.
LA FERRURE PÉRIPLANTAIRE, HISTOIRE D'UNE POLÉMIQUE
2014
Pierre Charlier, veterinarian of a transport company of Paris, presented 1765 a revolutionary method of far-riery. His horse shoe was made of an iron hook inlaid into the edge of the wall that limited the wear of the hoof while the sole and frog came into contact with the ground and limited slips. This patented device called into question the principles of the French method of farriery, threatened Parisian workshops owned by veterinarians in sight und thus unleashed a controversy of a rare violence that flourished the following year.
