The boundary layer equation of the pseudoplastic fluid over a flat plate is considered. This equation is a boundary value problem (BVP) with the high nonlinearity and a boundary condition at infinity. To solve such problems, powerful numerical techniques are usually used. Here, through using differential transform method (DTM), the BVP is replaced by two initial value problems (IVP) and then multi-step differential transform method (MDTM) is applied to solve them. The differential equation and its boundary conditions are transformed to a set of algebraic equations, and the Taylor series of solution is calculated in every sub domain. In this solution, there is no need for restrictive assumptions or linearization. Finally, DTM results are compared with the numerical solution of the problem, and a good accuracy of the proposed method is observed.

In this paper, a semi analytical-numerical technique called differential transform method (DTM) is applied to investigate free vibration of nanobeams based on non-local Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. The essential steps of the DTM application include transforming the governing equations of motion into algebraic equations, solving the transformed equations and then applying a process of inverse transformation to obtain accurate mode frequency. All the steps of the DTM are very straightforward, and the application of the DTM to both the equations of motion and the boundary conditions seems to be very involved computationally. Besides all these, the analysis of the convergence of the results shows that DTM solutions converge fast. In this paper, a detailed investigation has been reported and MATLAB code has been developed to analyze the numerical results for different scaling parameters as well as for four types of boundary conditions. Present results are compared with other available results and are found to be in good agreement.

In this study, free transverse vibration of two parallel beams connected together through variable stiffness Winkler-type elastic layer is investigated. Euler–Bernoulli beam hypothesis has been applied and the support is considered to be translational and rotational elastic springs in each ends. Linear and parabolic variation has been considered for connecting layer. The equations of motion have been derived in the form of coupled differential equations with variable coefficients. The differential transform method has been applied to obtain natural frequencies and normalized mode shapes of system. Differential transform method is a semi-analytical approach based on Taylor expansion series which converts differential equations to recursive algebraic equations and does not need domain discretization. The results obtained from differential transform method have been validated with the results reported by well-known references in the case of two parallel beams connected through uniform elastic layer. The effects of variation type and total stiffness of connecting layer, flexural rigidity ratio of beams, and boundary conditions on behavior of system are investigated and discussed in detail.

Abstract Herein, analytical solutions of three-dimensional (3D) diffusion, telegraph, and Burgers' models that are equipped with three memory indices are derived by using an innovative fractional generalization of the traditional differential transform method (DTM), namely, the threefold-fractional differential transform method (threefold-FDTM). This extends the applicability of DTM to comprise initial value problems in higher fractal spaces. The obtained solutions are expressed in the form of a γ¯-fractional power series which is a fractional adaptation of the classical Taylor series in several variables. Furthermore, the projection of these solutions into the integer space corresponds with the solutions of the classical copies for these models. The results detect that the suggested method is easy to implement, accurate, and very efficient in (non)linear fractional models. Thus, research on this trend is worth tracking.
