Gaseous Oxidant

The governing equations of thermal ignition are analyzed for porous solid fuel, such as coal, of various two-dimensional and axisymmetric geometries by the Laplace asymptotic method. Mass diffusion of the gaseous oxidant through the porous fuel is included. The nonlinear partial differential equations of energy and mass balances in time-space coordinates containing the Arrhenius volumic chemical reaction terms are analyzed. By employing the Laplace asymptotic technique and by invoking a certain limit theorem, the governing equations are reduced to a first order ordinary differential equation governing the fuel surface temperature, which is readily solved numerically. Detailed discussion of the effects of the various governing parameters on ignition is presented. Because of the basically closed-form nature of the solutions obtained, many general and fundamental aspects of the ignition criteria hitherto unknown are found.

Flow Through

The viscous fluid flow past a semi-infinite porous solid, which is proportionally sheared at one boundary with the possibility of the fluid slipping according to Navier’s slip or second order slip, is considered here. Such an assumption takes into consideration several of the boundary conditions used in the literature, and is a generalization of them. Upon introducing a similarity transformation, the governing equations for the problem under consideration reduces to a system of nonlinear partial differential equations. Interestingly, we were able to obtain an exact analytical solution for the velocity, though the equation is nonlinear. The flow through the porous solid is assumed to obey the Brinkman equation, and is considered relevant to several applications.

Comprehensive Study

In this article, a comprehensive study is conducted on the free vibration analysis of rotating truncated conical shells reinforced with functionally graded agglomerated carbon nanotubes The shell is modeled based on the first-order shear deformation theory, and effective mechanical properties are calculated based on the Eshelby–Mori–Tanaka scheme along with the rule of mixture. By considering centrifugal and Coriolis accelerations and initial hoop tension, the set of governing equations is derived using Hamilton’s principle and is solved numerically using the differential quadrature method Convergence and accuracy of the presented model are confirmed and the effects of different parameters on the forward and backward frequencies of the rotating carbon nanotube-reinforced truncated conical shells are investigated.

Generalized Differential

Bending analysis of thick laminated rectangular plates with various boundary conditions is presented using Generalized Differential Quadrature (GDQ) method. Based on the Reissner first order shear deformation theory, the governing equations include a system of eight first order partial differential equations in terms of unknown displacements, forces and moments. Presence of all plate variables in the governing equations provide a simple procedure to satisfy different boundary condition during application of GDQ method to obtain accurate results with relatively small number of grid points even for plates with free edges .Illustrative examples including various combinations of clamped, simply supported and free boundary condition are given to demonstrate the accuracy and convergence of the presented GDQ technique. Results are compared with other analytical and finite element predictions and show reasonably good agreement.

Axially Moving

In this paper the nonlinear transversal vibration of axially moving yarn with time-dependent tension is investigated. Yarn material is modeled as Kelvin element. A partial differential equation governing the transversal vibration is derived from Newtons second law. Galerkin method is used to truncate the governing nonlinear differential equation, and thus first-order ordinary differential equation is obtained. The periodic vibration equation and the natural frequency of moving yarn are received by applying homotopy perturbation method. As a result, the condition which should be avoided in the weaving process for resonance is obtained.

Abstract In this paper the fundamental concept (due to Euler, 1734) of how to make a first order ordinary differential equation exact by means of integrating factors, is extended to n-th order (n ≥ 2) ordinary differential equations and to systems of first order ordinary differential equations. For new classes of differential equations first integrals or complete solutions can be constructed. Also a perturbation method based on integrating factors can be developed. To show how this perturbation method works the method is applied to the well-known Van der Pol equation.

Magnetoelectroelastic Solids

Hamiltonian dual equation of plane transversely isotropic magnetoelectroelastic solids is derived from variational principle and mixed state Hamiltonian elementary equations are established. Similar to the Hamiltonian formulation in classic dynamics, the z coordinate is treated analogous to the time coordinate. Then the x-direction is discreted with the linear elements to obtain the state-vector governing equations, which are a set of first order differential equations in z and are solved by the analytical approach. Because present approach is analytic in z direction, there is no restriction on the thickness of plate through the use of the present element. Using the propagation matrix method, the approach can be extended to analyze the problems of magnetoelectroelastic laminated plates. Present semi-analytical method of mixed Hamiltonian element has wide application area.
