“…In each section a uniform [8][9][10][11], linear [12], exponential [13] or other types of lines may be inserted. In some efforts, an exact or approximate closed form solution has been derived from the structures containing many cascaded short sections [8,9]. These nonlinear equations have been solved analytically and without approximation only for a few special types of NTLs such as linear [12], exponential [13], power-law [14,15], binomial [16], exponential power law [17] and hermite [18] types.…”
