Many physical problems, such as heat transfer and wave transfer, are modeled in the real world using partial differential equations (PDEs). When the domain of such modeled problems is irregular in shape, computing analytic solution becomes difficult, if not impossible. In such a case, numerical methods can be used to compute the solution of such PDEs. The Finite difference method (FDM) is one of the numerical methods used to compute the solutions of PDEs by discretizing the domain into a finite number of regions. We used FDMs to compute the numerical solutions of the one dimensional heat equation with different position initial conditions and multiple initial conditions. Blacksmiths fashioned different metals into the desired shape by heating the objects with different temperatures and at different position. The numerical technique applied here can be used to solve heat equations observed in the field of science and engineering.


The chapter presents the MATLAB® commands that realize numerical methods for solving problems arising in science and engineering in general and in the field of mechanics and tribology (M&T) in particular. The most commonly used commands along with some information on numerical methods are explained. The topics of the chapter include interpolation and extrapolation, solving nonlinear equations with one or more unknowns, finding minimum and maximum, integration, and differentiation. All described actions are explained by examples from the field of M&T. At the end of the chapter, applications are presented; they illustrate how to interpolate the friction coefficient data, calculate elongation of a scale with two springs, determine the maxima and minima of the pressure-angle function, and solve some other M&T problems.

Theory and applications of non-Newtonian calculus have been evolving rapidly over the recent years. As numerical methods have a wide range of applications in science and engineering, the idea of the design of such numerical methods based on non-Newtonian calculus is self-evident. In this paper, the well-known Runge-Kutta method for ordinary differential equations is developed in the frameworks of non-Newtonian calculus given in generalized form and then tested for different generating functions. The efficiency of the proposed non-Newtonian Euler and Runge-Kutta methods is exposed by examples, and the results are compared with the exact solutions.

Recently, wavelet-based numerical methods have been newly developed in the areas of science and engineering. In this paper, we proposed a full-approximation scheme for the numerical solution of Burgers’ equation using biorthogonal wavelet filter coefficients as prolongation and restriction operators. The presented scheme gives higher accuracy in terms of higher convergence in less CPU time, which has been illustrated through the test problem.
