Fractional calculus (FC) is a valuable tool in the modeling of many phenomena, and it has become a topic of great interest in science and engineering. This mathematical tool has proved its efficiency in modeling the intermediate anomalous behaviors observed in different physical phenomena. The Meissner–Ochsenfeld effect describes the levitation of superconductors in a nonuniform magnetic field if they are cooled below critical temperature. This paper presents analytical solutions of the fractional London equation that describes the Meissner–Ochsenfeld effect considering the Liouville–Caputo, Caputo–Fabrizio–Caputo, Atangana–Baleanu–Caputo, fractional conformable derivative in Liouville–Caputo sense and Atangana–Koca–Caputo fractional-order derivatives. Numerical simulations were obtained for different values of the fractional-order.

Two Stages

This paper describes epoxy resins by means of electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and the mathematical tool of fractional calculus (FC). Two stages are considered: first, the EIS is used for testing the samples and, second, the measured data are approximated using integer and fractional order models. The FC-based modelling describes the epoxy resins using a small number of parameters that reflect their main characteristics. The EIS data gathered for the epoxies samples are compared with those of different adhesives and sealants by means of a hierarchical clustering algorithm that unravels the relationships between the distinct materials. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Advanced materials modelling via fractional calculus: challenges and perspectives’.

Abstract This survey paper is devoted to the description of the results by M.M. Djrbashian related to the modern theory of Fractional Calculus. M.M. Djrbashian (1918-1994) is a well-known expert in complex analysis, harmonic analysis and approximation theory. Anyway, his contributions to fractional calculus, to boundary value problems for fractional order operators, to the investigation of properties of the Queen function of Fractional Calculus (the Mittag-Leffler function), to integral transforms’ theory has to be understood on a better level. Unfortunately, most of his works are not enough popular as in that time were published in Russian. The aim of this survey is to fill in the gap in the clear recognition of M.M. Djrbashian’s results in these areas. For same purpose, we decided also to translate in English one of his basic papers [21] of 1968 (joint with A.B. Nersesian, “Fractional derivatives and the Cauchy problem for differential equations of fractional order”), and were invited by the “FCAA” editors to publish its re-edited version in this same issue of the journal.

Abstract This paper proposes a conceptual experiment embedding the model of a bouncing ball and the Grünwald-Letnikov (GL) formulation for derivative of fractional order. The impacts of the ball with the surface are modeled by means of a restitution coefficient related to the coefficients of the GL fractional derivative. The results are straightforward to interpret under the light of the classical physics. The mechanical experiment leads to a physical perspective and allows a straightforward visualization. This strategy provides not only a motivational introduction to students of the fractional calculus, but also triggers possible discussion with regard to the use of fractional models in mechanics.

Plastic Creep

A rock creep constitutive model is the core content of rock rheological mechanics theory and is of great significance for studying the long-term stability of engineering. Most of the creep models constructed in previous studies have complex types and many parameters. Based on fractional calculus theory, this paper explores the creep curve characteristics of the creep elements with the fractional order change, constructs a nonlinear viscoelastic-plastic creep model of rock based on fractional calculus, and deduces the creep constitutive equation. By using a user-defined function fitting tool of the Origin software and the Levenberg–Marquardt optimization algorithm, the creep test data are fitted and compared. The fitting curve is in good agreement with the experimental data, which shows the rationality and applicability of the proposed nonlinear viscoelastic-plastic creep model. Through sensitivity analysis of the fractional order β2 and viscoelastic coefficient ξ2, the influence of these creep parameters on rock creep is clarified. The research results show that the nonlinear viscoelastic-plastic creep model of rock based on fractional calculus constructed in this paper can well describe the creep characteristics of rock, and this model has certain theoretical significance and engineering application value for long-term engineering stability research.

In this paper the fractional differential equation for the mass-spring-damper system in terms of the fractional time derivatives of the Caputo type is considered. In order to be consistent with the physical equation, a new parameter is introduced. This parameter char­acterizes the existence of fractional components in the system. A relation between the fractional order time derivative and the new parameter is found. Different particular cases are analyzed

Asymptotic Behaviours

By using fractional calculus and the summation by parts formula in this paper, the asymptotic behaviours of solutions of nonlinear neutral fractional delay pantograph equations with continuous arguments are investigated. The asymptotic estimates of solutions for the equation are obtained, which may imply asymptotic stability of solutions. In the end, a particular case is provided to illustrate the main result and the speed of the convergence of the obtained solutions.

Kinematic Control

Redundant manipulators have some advantages when compared with classical arms because they allow the trajectory optimization, both on the free space and on the presence of obstacles, and the resolution of singularities. For this type of arms the proposed kinematic control algorithms adopt generalized inverse matrices but, in general, the corresponding trajectory planning schemes show important limitations. Motivated by these problems this paper studies the pseudoinverse-based trajectory planning algorithms, using the theory of fractional calculus.

The theory and applications of fractional calculus (FC) had a considerable progress during the last years. Dynamical systems and control are one of the most active areas, and several authors focused on the stability of fractional order systems. Nevertheless, due to the multitude of efforts in a short period of time, contributions are scattered along the literature, and it becomes difficult for researchers to have a complete and systematic picture of the present day knowledge. This paper is an attempt to overcome this situation by reviewing the state of the art and putting this topic in a systematic form. While the problem is formulated with rigour, from the mathematical point of view, the exposition intends to be easy to read by the applied researchers. Different types of systems are considered, namely, linear/nonlinear, positive, with delay, distributed, and continuous/discrete. Several possible routes of future progress that emerge are also tackled.

It is well known that the complex step method is a tool that calculates derivatives by imposing a complex step in a strict sense. We extended the method by employing the fractional calculus differential operator in this paper. The fractional calculus can be taken in the sense of the Caputo operator, Riemann-Liouville operator, and so forth. Furthermore, we derived several approximations for computing the fractional order derivatives. Stability of the generalized fractional complex step approximations is demonstrated for an analytic test function.
