Exact Solutions of Two Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations by the First Integral Method

In recent years, many methods have been used to find the exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. One of them is called the first integral method, which is based on the ring theory of commutative algebra. In this paper, exact travelling wave solutions of the Non-Boussinesq wavepacket model and the (2 + 1)-dimensional Zoomeron equation are studied by using the first integral method. From the solving process and results, the first integral method has the characteristics of simplicity, directness and effectiveness about solving the exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. In other words, tedious calculations can be avoided by Maple software;the solutions of more accurate and richer travelling wave solutions are obtained. Therefore, this method is an effective method for solving exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations.

Dynamic stability analysis of porous functionally graded beams under hygro-thermal loading using nonlocal strain gradient integral model

We present a study on the dynamic stability of porous functionally graded(PFG)beams under hygro-thermal loading.The variations of the properties of the beams across the beam thicknesses are described by the power-law model.Unlike most studies on this topic,we consider both the bending deformation of the beams and the hygro-thermal load as size-dependent,simultaneously,by adopting the equivalent differential forms of the well-posed nonlocal strain gradient integral theory(NSGIT)which are strictly equipped with a set of constitutive boundary conditions(CBCs),and through which both the stiffness-hardening and stiffness-softening effects of the structures can be observed with the length-scale parameters changed.All the variables presented in the differential problem formulation are discretized.The numerical solution of the dynamic instability region(DIR)of various bounded beams is then developed via the generalized differential quadrature method(GDQM).After verifying the present formulation and results,we examine the effects of different parameters such as the nonlocal/gradient length-scale parameters,the static force factor,the functionally graded(FG)parameter,and the porosity parameter on the DIR.Furthermore,the influence of considering the size-dependent hygro-thermal load is also presented.

Numerical Study of the Vibrations of Beams with Variable Stiffness under Impulsive or Harmonic Loading

The behavior of beams with variable stiffness subjected to the action of variable loadings (impulse or harmonic) is analyzed in this paper using the successive approximation method. This successive approximation method is a technique for numerical integration of partial differential equations involving both the space and time, with well-known initial conditions on time and boundary conditions on the space. This technique, although having been applied to beams with constant stiffness, is new for the case of beams with variable stiffness, and it aims to use a quadratic parabola (in time) to approximate the solutions of the differential equations of dynamics. The spatial part is studied using the successive approximation method of the partial differential equations obtained, in order to transform them into a system of time-dependent ordinary differential equations. Thus, the integration algorithm using this technique is established and applied to examples of beams with variable stiffness, under variable loading, and with the different cases of supports chosen in the literature. We have thus calculated the cases of beams with constant or variable rigidity with articulated or embedded supports, subjected to the action of an instantaneous impulse and harmonic loads distributed over its entire length. In order to justify the robustness of the successive approximation method considered in this work, an example of an articulated beam with constant stiffness subjected to a distributed harmonic load was calculated analytically, and the results obtained compared to those found numerically for various steps (spatial h and temporal τ ¯ ) of calculus, and the difference between the values obtained by the two methods was small. For example for ( h=1/8 , τ ¯ =1/ 64 ), the difference between these values is 17%.

PID Parameters for Tuning and Optimization of a Turbine EngineBased on the Simplex Search Method

A PID parameters tuning and optimization method for a turbine engine based on the simplex search method was proposed. Taking time delay of combustion and actuator into account, a simulation model of a PID control system for a turbine engine was developed. A performance index based on the integral of absolute error （IAE） was given as an objective function of optimization. In order to avoid the sensitivity that resulted from the initial values of the simplex search method, the traditional Ziegler-Nichols method was used to tune PID parameters to obtain the initial values at first, then the simplex search method was applied to optimize PID parameters for the turbine engine. Simulation results indicate that the simplex search method is a reasonable and effective method for PID controller parameters tuning and optimization.

On the consistency of two-phase local/nonlocal piezoelectric integral model

In this paper,we propose general strain-and stress-driven two-phase local/nonlocal piezoelectric integral models,which can distinguish the difference of nonlocal effects on the elastic and piezoelectric behaviors of nanostructures.The nonlocal piezoelectric model is transformed from integral to an equivalent differential form with four constitutive boundary conditions due to the difficulty in solving intergro-differential equations directly.The nonlocal piezoelectric integral models are used to model the static bending of the Euler-Bernoulli piezoelectric beam on the assumption that the nonlocal elastic and piezoelectric parameters are coincident with each other.The governing differential equations as well as constitutive and standard boundary conditions are deduced.It is found that purely strain-and stress-driven nonlocal piezoelectric integral models are ill-posed,because the total number of differential orders for governing equations is less than that of boundary conditions.Meanwhile,the traditional nonlocal piezoelectric differential model would lead to inconsistent bending response for Euler-Bernoulli piezoelectric beam under different boundary and loading conditions.Several nominal variables are introduced to normalize the governing equations and boundary conditions,and the general differential quadrature method(GDQM)is used to obtain the numerical solutions.The results from current models are validated against results in the literature.It is clearly established that a consistent softening and toughening effects can be obtained for static bending of the Euler-Bernoulli beam based on the general strain-and stress-driven local/nonlocal piezoelectric integral models,respectively.

The conclusion shows that the field-method in analytical mechanics can be fully used to find the solutions of a differential equation of the first order, thus a new method for finding the solutions of the first order is provided.

Application of <i>q</i>-Calculus to the Solution of Partial <i>q</i>-Differential Equations

We introduce the concept of q-calculus in quantum geometry. This involves the q-differential and q-integral operators. With these, we study the basic rules governing q-calculus as compared with the classical Newton-Leibnitz calculus, and obtain some important results. We introduce the reduced q-differential transform method (RqDTM) for solving partial q-differential equations. The solution is computed in the form of a convergent power series with easily computable coefficients. With the help of some test examples, we discover the effectiveness and performance of the proposed method and employing MathCAD 14 software for computation. It turns out that when q = 1, the solution coincides with that for the classical version of the given initial value problem. The results demonstrate that the RqDTM approach is quite efficient and convenient.

A new method for integration of a Birkhoffian system

The idea of the gradient method for integrating the dynamical equations of a nonconservative system presented by Vujanovic is transplanted to a Birkhoffian system, which is a new method for the integration of Birkhoff＇s equations. First, the differential equations of motion of the Birkhoffian system are written out. Secondly, 2n Birkhoff＇s variables are divided into two parts, and assume that a part of the variables is the functions of the remaining part of the variables and time. Thereby, the basic quasi-linear partial differential equations are established. If a complete solution of the basic partial differential equations is sought out, the solution of the problem is given by a set of algebraic equations. Since one can choose n arbitrary Birkhoff＇s variables as the functions of n remains of variables and time in a specific problem, the method has flexibility. The major difficulty of this method lies in finding a complete solution of the basic partial differential equation. Once one finds the complete solution, the motion of the systems can be obtained without doing further integration. Finally, two examples are given to illustrate the application of the results.

The numerical examples machine accuracy solutions. show that the IPIM is stable and gives the

Well-posedness of two-phase local/nonlocal integral polar models for consistent axisymmetric bending of circular microplates

Previous studies have shown that Eringen’s differential nonlocal model would lead to the ill-posed mathematical formulation for axisymmetric bending of circular microplates.Based on the nonlocal integral models along the radial and circumferential directions,we propose nonlocal integral polar models in this work.The proposed strainand stress-driven two-phase nonlocal integral polar models are applied to model the axisymmetric bending of circular microplates.The governing differential equations and boundary conditions(BCs)as well as constitutive constraints are deduced.It is found that the purely strain-driven nonlocal integral polar model turns to a traditional nonlocal differential polar model if the constitutive constraints are neglected.Meanwhile,the purely strain-and stress-driven nonlocal integral polar models are ill-posed,because the total number of the differential orders of the governing equations is less than that of the BCs plus constitutive constraints.Several nominal variables are introduced to simplify the mathematical expression,and the general differential quadrature method(GDQM)is applied to obtain the numerical solutions.The results from the current models(CMs)are compared with the data in the literature.It is clearly established that the consistent softening and toughening effects can be obtained for the strain-and stress-driven local/nonlocal integral polar models,respectively.The proposed two-phase local/nonlocal integral polar models(TPNIPMs)may provide an efficient method to design and optimize the plate-like structures for microelectro-mechanical systems.
