Adomian decomposition method (ADM) is applied to linear nonhomogeneous boundary value problem arising from the beam-column theory The obtained results are expressed in tables and graphs We obtain rapidly converging results to exact solution byusing the ADMThis situation indicates that the method is appropriate and reliable for such problems
1 Introduction
It is possible to model many of the physical events thattake place in nature using linear and nonlinear differentialequations This modeling enables us to understand andinterpret the particular event in a much better manner Thusfinding the analytical and approximate solutions of suchmodels with initial and boundary conditions gain impor-tance Differential equations have had an important placein engineering since many years Scientists and engineersgenerally examine systems that undergo changes
Many methods have been developed to determine theanalytical and approximate solutions of linear and nonlineardifferential equations with initial and boundary value condi-tions and among these methods the ADM [1ndash6] homotopyperturbation method [7ndash11] variational iteration method[12ndash19] and homotopy analysismethod [20ndash25] can be listedPackage software such as Matematica Maple or Matlab isused to overcome tedious algebraic operations when usingthese methods The determination of the analytical andapproximate solutions of linear and nonlinear differentialequations is an important topic for civil engineering becausethese equations are the mathematical models of complexevents that occur in engineering
In this study the approximate solution of the fourth orderlinear nonhomogeneous differential equation with initial
and boundary conditions that arises in the beam-columntheory will be determined via the ADMand comparisons willbe made with the existing results in the literature
The ADMwas first put forth in the 1980s by an Americanscientist named Adomian [26] This method is based on thedecomposition of the unknown function Using this methodit is possible to determine the approximate solutions forthe linear and nonlinear ordinary and partial differentialequationsThe ADM has been used effectively by researchersduring 1990 and 2007 especially for the solution of differentialand integral equations [27ndash32] Using this method a nonlin-ear problem can be applied directly without discretizationand linearization Hence this is a method that is preferredby researchers
In this study the analytical and approximate solutions ofa fourth order linear boundary value problemwere calculatedusing the ADM In addition the fourth order linear ordinarydifferential equation set used in the beam-column theorywas solved under specific boundary conditions The ADMused provides realistic solutions without changing the linearor nonlinear differential equation model Numerical resultsclose to the real solution can be found by calculating the termsof the limited number of decomposition series It is possibleto find the numerical solution of a differential equation usingthis method without the necessity of indexing

2 Adomian Decomposition Method
The method has many advantages in comparison with manyother traditional methods such as Finite differences Finiteelements and Galerkin method [33ndash35] The method givesconverging results adapted to the problems It is a disadvan-tage that convergence interval is small and the calculation ofthe ADM polynomials occurs in nonlinear problems in theADM
We now consider second order nonlinear ordinary differ-ential equations with initial conditions This equation can bewritten in an operator by
119871119906 + 119877119906 + 119873119906 = 119891 (1)
where 119871 is the lower-order derivative which is assumed to beinvertible 119877 is a linear differential operator of order greaterthan119871119873 is a nonlinear differential operator and119891 is a sourceterm We next apply the inverse operator 119871minus1 to both sides of(1) and use the given initial conditions to get
119906 (119909) = 119906 (0) + 1199091199061015840

The various components 119906119899

3 The Application of the ADM to the LinearProblem with Boundary Condition ThatArises in Beam-Column Theory
31 Problem Definition Fourth order differential equationsconsist of various physical problems that are related tothe elastic stability theory Differential relations should beestablished between the effects of various cross-section effectsin order to understand beam-column problems better
When a cross section of distance 119889119909 shown in Figure 1(b)is taken from a beam-column subject to both the 119875 axial loadand the 119902 spread load perpendicular to the axis as shownin Figure 1(a) internal forces arise in the element When theequilibrium equation in the 119910 direction is written with
119902 = minus119889119881
119889119909 (11)
the following ordinary differential equation is found [39ndash42]
minus119881 + 119902119889119909 + (119881 + 119889119881) = 0 (12)
The algebraic sums of the forces acting on both surfacesof the cross-section element are the same due to equilibriumConsider
119872 + 119902119889119909119889119909
2+ (119881 + 119889119881) 119889119909 minus (119872 + 119889119872) + 119875
119889119910
119889119909= 0
(13)
Here 119881 is the shear force acting on the surface of theelement whereas119872 is the bendingmoment that tries to bendthe cross-section element
If rotations are assumed to be small and the second orderterms in terms of 119889119909 are neglected then (13) becomes
119881 =119889119872
119889119909minus 119875
119889119910

Since rotations are assumed to be small if 11988921198891199092 = minus119872119864119868then (14) becomes

In Figure 2 five terms of the decompositionmethod havebeen taken from the analytical solution and decompositionseries of example have been drawn in two dimensionalgraphs As seen in these graphs the analytical and approxi-mate solutions cannot be distinguished
In conclusion it has been determined that the ADM canbe applied to the linear homogeneous and nonhomogeneousboundary value problems that arise in civil engineering in thebeam-column theory Solutions that converge rapidly to theanalytical solution can be found without changing the natureof the physical phenomenon In addition the calculationsfor this method can be carried out using software such asMathematica Maple and Matlab

2 Adomian Decomposition Method
The method has many advantages in comparison with manyother traditional methods such as Finite differences Finiteelements and Galerkin method [33ndash35] The method givesconverging results adapted to the problems It is a disadvan-tage that convergence interval is small and the calculation ofthe ADM polynomials occurs in nonlinear problems in theADM
We now consider second order nonlinear ordinary differ-ential equations with initial conditions This equation can bewritten in an operator by
119871119906 + 119877119906 + 119873119906 = 119891 (1)
where 119871 is the lower-order derivative which is assumed to beinvertible 119877 is a linear differential operator of order greaterthan119871119873 is a nonlinear differential operator and119891 is a sourceterm We next apply the inverse operator 119871minus1 to both sides of(1) and use the given initial conditions to get

3 The Application of the ADM to the LinearProblem with Boundary Condition ThatArises in Beam-Column Theory
31 Problem Definition Fourth order differential equationsconsist of various physical problems that are related tothe elastic stability theory Differential relations should beestablished between the effects of various cross-section effectsin order to understand beam-column problems better
When a cross section of distance 119889119909 shown in Figure 1(b)is taken from a beam-column subject to both the 119875 axial loadand the 119902 spread load perpendicular to the axis as shownin Figure 1(a) internal forces arise in the element When theequilibrium equation in the 119910 direction is written with
119902 = minus119889119881
119889119909 (11)
the following ordinary differential equation is found [39ndash42]
minus119881 + 119902119889119909 + (119881 + 119889119881) = 0 (12)
The algebraic sums of the forces acting on both surfacesof the cross-section element are the same due to equilibriumConsider
119872 + 119902119889119909119889119909
2+ (119881 + 119889119881) 119889119909 minus (119872 + 119889119872) + 119875
119889119910
119889119909= 0
(13)
Here 119881 is the shear force acting on the surface of theelement whereas119872 is the bendingmoment that tries to bendthe cross-section element
If rotations are assumed to be small and the second orderterms in terms of 119889119909 are neglected then (13) becomes
119881 =119889119872

Since rotations are assumed to be small if 11988921198891199092 = minus119872119864119868then (14) becomes

4 Results and Discussion
In this study the approximate solution of the fourth orderboundary value problem arising in beam-column theory hasbeen determined using theADMThismethod can be appliedon differential equations without the need for discretizationindexing or linearization
Nonhomogeneous problem has been handled regardingthe topic and the obtained results have been given in Table 1and Figure 2 As can be seen from the table and figure themethod used has given results that converge rapidly to theanalytical solution with the removal of a few terms from the

solution series This shows that the method is suitable andreliable for such problems In addition the handled examplehas been compared with the results obtained by Chen andAtsuta [41 42] using nonpolynomial spline method As seenin Table 2 values close to those obtained in this study werefound only in case when the ldquoℎrdquo step was small New termscan be added to the solution series of the ADM to obtainresults that are much better than those of the spline method
In Figure 2 five terms of the decompositionmethod havebeen taken from the analytical solution and decompositionseries of example have been drawn in two dimensionalgraphs As seen in these graphs the analytical and approxi-mate solutions cannot be distinguished
In conclusion it has been determined that the ADM canbe applied to the linear homogeneous and nonhomogeneousboundary value problems that arise in civil engineering in thebeam-column theory Solutions that converge rapidly to theanalytical solution can be found without changing the natureof the physical phenomenon In addition the calculationsfor this method can be carried out using software such asMathematica Maple and Matlab

solution series This shows that the method is suitable andreliable for such problems In addition the handled examplehas been compared with the results obtained by Chen andAtsuta [41 42] using nonpolynomial spline method As seenin Table 2 values close to those obtained in this study werefound only in case when the ldquoℎrdquo step was small New termscan be added to the solution series of the ADM to obtainresults that are much better than those of the spline method
In Figure 2 five terms of the decompositionmethod havebeen taken from the analytical solution and decompositionseries of example have been drawn in two dimensionalgraphs As seen in these graphs the analytical and approxi-mate solutions cannot be distinguished
In conclusion it has been determined that the ADM canbe applied to the linear homogeneous and nonhomogeneousboundary value problems that arise in civil engineering in thebeam-column theory Solutions that converge rapidly to theanalytical solution can be found without changing the natureof the physical phenomenon In addition the calculationsfor this method can be carried out using software such asMathematica Maple and Matlab

In conclusion it has been determined that the ADM canbe applied to the linear homogeneous and nonhomogeneousboundary value problems that arise in civil engineering in thebeam-column theory Solutions that converge rapidly to theanalytical solution can be found without changing the natureof the physical phenomenon In addition the calculationsfor this method can be carried out using software such asMathematica Maple and Matlab
