Truncated series solutions to the(2+1)-dimensional perturbed Boussinesq equation by using the approximate symmetry method

In this paper, the（2＋1）-dimensional perturbed Boussinesq equation is transformed into a series of two-dimensional（2 D） similarity reduction equations by using the approximate symmetry method. A step-by-step procedure is used to acquire Jacobi elliptic function solutions to these similarity equations, which generate the truncated series solutions to the original perturbed Boussinesq equation. Aside from some singular area, the series solutions are convergent when the perturbation parameter is diminished.

The series solution to the metric of stationary vacuum with axisymmetry

The multipole moment method not only conduces to the understanding of the deformation of the space-time, but also serves as an effective tool to approximately solve the Einstein field equation with. However, the usual multipole moments are recursively determined by a sequence of symmetric and trace-free tensors, which is inconvenient for practical resolution. In this paper, we develop a simplified procedure to generate the series solutions to the metric of the stationary vacuum with axisymmetry, and show its validity. In order to understand the free parameters in the solution, we propose to take the Schwarzschild metric as a standard ruler, and some well- known examples are analysed and compared with the series solutions in detail.

A Series Solution Approach to the Circular Restricted Gravitational Three-Body Dynamical Problem

The present manuscript examines the circular restricted gravitational three-body problem (CRGTBP) by the introduction of a new approach through the power series method. In addition, certain computational algorithms with the aid of Mathematica software are specifically designed for the problem. The algorithms or rather mathematical modules are established to determine the velocity and position of the third body’s motion. In fact, the modules led to accurate results and thus proved the new approach to be efficient.

To the flow produced in particle-suspension by a rotating disk of infinite extent, the asymptotic behavior at infinity is analyzed.A corresponding series solution is presented.It is shown that this approach yields widely valid solutions of high accuracy for all the cases in which that suction or weak injection at the disk surface exists.For the cases that strong injection or par- ticle-free band exists,the series method fails.

Adomian Modification Methods for the Solution of Chebyshev’s Differential Equations

The current study examines the important class of Chebyshev’s differential equations via the application of the efficient Adomian Decomposition Method (ADM) and its modifications. We have proved the effectiveness of the employed methods by acquiring exact analytical solutions for the governing equations in most cases;while minimal noisy error terms have been observed in a particular method modification. Above all, the presented approaches have rightly affirmed the exactitude of the available literature. More to the point, the application of this methodology could be extended to examine various forms of high-order differential equations, as approximate exact solutions are rapidly attained with less computation stress.

Infinite series symmetry reduction solutions to the modified KdV-Burgers equation

From the point of view of approximate symmetry, the modified Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers （mKdV-Burgers） equation with weak dissipation is investigated. The symmetry of a system of the corresponding partial differential equations which approximate the perturbed mKdV-Burgers equation is constructed and the corresponding general approximate symmetry reduction is derived; thereby infinite series solutions and general formulae can be obtained. The obtained result shows that the zero-order similarity solution to the mKdV-Burgers equation satisfies the Painleve II equation. Also, at the level of travelling wave reduction, the general solution formulae are given for any travelling wave solution of an unperturbed mKdV equation. As an illustrative example, when the zero-order tanh profile solution is chosen as an initial approximate solution, physically approximate similarity solutions are obtained recursively under the appropriate choice of parameters occurring during computation.

AN IMPLICIT SERIES PRECISE INTEGRATION ALGORITHM FOR STRUCTURAL NONLINEAR DYNAMIC EQUATIONS

Nonlinear dynamic equations can be solved accurately using a precise integration method. Some algorithms exist, but the inversion of a matrix must be calculated for these al- gorithms. If the inversion of the matrix doesn’t exist or isn’t stable, the precision and stability of the algorithms will be afected. An explicit series solution of the state equation has been pre- sented. The solution avoids calculating the inversion of a matrix and its precision can be easily controlled. In this paper, an implicit series solution of nonlinear dynamic equations is presented. The algorithm is more precise and stable than the explicit series solution and isn’t sensitive to the time-step. Finally, a numerical example is presented to demonstrate the efectiveness of the algorithm.

Approximate Solutions of Primary Resonance for Forced Duffing Equation by Means of the Homotopy Analysis Method

Nonlinear dynamic equation is a common engineering model.There is not precise analytical solution for most of nonlinear differential equations.These nonlinear differential equations should be solved by using approximate methods.Classical perturbation methods such as LP method,KBM method,multi-scale method and the averaging method on weakly nonlinear vibration system is effective,while the strongly nonlinear system is difficult to apply.Approximate solutions of primary resonance for forced Duffing equation is investigated by means of homotopy analysis method （HAM）.Different from other approximate computational method,the HAM is totally independent of small physical parameters,and thus is suitable for most nonlinear problems.The HAM provides a great freedom to choose base functions of solution series,so that a nonlinear problem may be approximated more effectively.The HAM provides us a simple way to adjust and control the convergence region of the series solution by means of an auxiliary parameter and the auxiliary function.Therefore,HAM not only may solve the weakly non-linear problems but also may be suitable for the strong non-linear problem.Through the approximate solution of forced Duffing equation with cubic non-linearity,the HAM and fourth order Runge-Kutta method of numerical solution were compared,the results show that the HAM not only can solve the steady state solution,but also can calculate the unsteady state solution,and has the good computational accuracy.

We construct a formal power series solution for our considering FDE and prove convergence of formal so- lutions under conditions. -We use the Caputo fractional differential operator and the nonlinearity depends on the fractional derivative of an unknown function.

Approximate direct reduction method:infinite series reductions to the perturbed mKdV equation

The approximate direct reduction method is applied to the perturbed mKdV equation with weak fourth order dispersion and weak dissipation. The similarity reduction solutions of different orders conform to formal coherence, accounting for infinite series reduction solutions to the original equation and general formulas of similarity reduction equations. Painleve Ⅱ type equations, hyperbolic secant and Jacobi elliptic function solutions are obtained for zeroorder similarity reduction equations. Higher order similarity reduction equations are linear variable coefficient ordinary differential equations.

Nonlinear oscillations with parametric excitation solved by homotopy analysis method

An analytical technique, namely the homotopy analysis method （HAM）, is used to solve problems of nonlinear oscillations with parametric excitation. Unlike perturbation methods, HAM is not dependent on any small physical parameters at all, and thus valid for both weakly and strongly nonlinear problems. In addition, HAM is different from all other analytic techniques in providing a simple way to adjust and control convergence region of the series solution by means of an auxiliary parameter h. In the present paper, a periodic analytic approximations for nonlinear oscillations with parametric excitation are obtained by using HAM, and the results are validated by numerical simulations.

THE DYNAMIC BUCKLING OF ELASTIC-PLASTIC COLUMN SUBJECTED TO AXIAL IMPACT BY A RIGID BODY

The dynamic buckling of an elastic-plastic column subjected to axial impact by a rigid body has been discussed in this paper. The whole traveling process of elastic-plastic waves under impact action is analyzed with the characteristics method. The regularity of stress changes in both column ends and the first separating time of a rigid body and column are obtained. By using the energy principle and taking into account the propagation and reflection of stress waves the lateral disturbance equation is derived and the power series solution is given. In addition, the critical buckling condition can be obtained from the stability analysis of the solution. By numerical computation and analysis, the relationship among critical velocity and impact mass, hardening modulus, and buckling time is given.

DYNAMIC BEHAVIORS OF CONDUCTIVE CIRCULAR PLATE IN TIME-VARYING MAGNETIC FIELDS

In this study, we proposed an analytical solution for eddy currents as well as electromagnetic forces of a conductive circular plate in a time varying magnetic field. Specifically, an analytical series solution for eddy currents in a circular plate subjected to an axisymmetrie time varying magnetic field has been proposed based on the T-method that has been widely used in the eddy current analysis of conductive and superconductive structures. Accordingly, the dynamic response, the dynamic instability and the magnetic damping of a circular plate in a transverse transient magnetic field as well as a stationary in-plane magnetic field have also been obtained. The analytical series solution proposed in this work as well as the subsequent numerical analysis not only confirmed the emergence of dynamic instability of a circular plate in a strong transverse magnetic field, but also demonstrated the existence of magneto-damping of a circular conductive plate in an in-plane magnetic field. The method developed in this paper provides a potential new possible way by which the analysis of the electromagnetic coupling problems of conductive structures can be simplified.

Stagnation-point flow of couple stress fluid with melting heat transfer

Melting heat transfer in the boundary layer flow of a couple stress fluid over a stretching surface is investigated. The developed differential equations are solved for homotopic solutions. It is observed that the velocity and the boundary layer thickness are decreasing functions of the couple stress fluid parameter. However, the temperature and surface heat transfer increase when the values of the couple stress fluid parameter increase. The velocity and temperature fields increase with an increase in the melting process of the stretching sheet.

Primary resonance of multiple degree-of-freedom dynamic systems with strong non-linearity using the homotopy analysis method

A homotopy analysis method（HAM）is presented for the primary resonance of multiple degree-of-freedom systems with strong non-linearity excited by harmonic forces.The validity of the HAM is independent of the existence of small parameters in the considered equation.The HAM provides a simple way to adjust and control the convergence region of the series solution by means of an auxiliary parameter.Two examples are presented to show that the HAM solutions agree well with the results of the modified Linstedt-Poincar＇e method and the incremental harmonic balance method.

Approximate homotopy similarity reduction for the generalized Kawahara equation via Lie symmetry method and direct method

This paper studies the generalized Kawahara equation in terms of the approximate homotopy symmetry method and the approximate homotopy direct method. Using both methods it obtains the similarity reduction solutions and similarity reduction equations of different orders, showing that the approximate homotopy direct method yields more general approximate similarity reductions than the approximate homotopy symmetry method. The homotopy series solutions to the generalized Kawahara equation are consequently derived.

Transverse vibrations of arbitrary non-uniform beams

Free and steady state forced transverse vibrations of non-uniform beams are investigated with a proposed method, leading to a series solution. The obtained series is verified to be convergent and linearly independent in a convergence test and by the non-zero value of the corresponding Wronski determinant, respectively. The obtained solution is rigorous, which can be reduced to a classical solution for uniform beams. The proposed method can deal with arbitrary non-uniform Euler-Bernoulli beams in principle, but the methods in terms of special functions or elementary functions can only work in some special cases.
