In the present study, the propagation of Love waves is investigated in a layered structure with two different homogeneity saturated materials based on Biot’s theory. The upper layer is a transversely isotropic functional graded saturated layer, and the substrate is a saturated semi-space. The inhomogeneity of the functional graded layer is taken into account. Furthermore, the gradient coefficient is employed as the representation of the relation with the layer thickness and the material parameters, and the power series method is applied to solve the variable coefficients governing the equations. In this regard, the influence of the gradient coefficients of saturated material on the dispersion relations, and the attenuation of Love waves in this structure are explored, and the results of the present study can provide theoretical guidance for the non-destructive evaluation of functional graded saturated material.

This paper is devoted to studying the analytical series solutions for the differential equations with variable coefficients. By a general residual power series method, we construct the approximate analytical series solutions for differential equations with variable coefficients, including nonhomogeneous parabolic equations, fractional heat equations in 2D, and fractional wave equations in 3D. These applications show that residual power series method is a simple, effective, and powerful method for seeking analytical series solutions of differential equations (especially for fractional differential equations) with variable coefficients.

Power series method is used to analyze the distribution of stresses of the transversely isotropic cylinder under arbitrary axisymmetrical normal load. The stress function and normal load are expanded as the form of Fourier series. Unknown parameters in equations are determined using boundary conditions and final solutions of stress and displacement are obtained accordingly. The analysis of stresses obtained from different material parameters shows that the axial stress is significantly affected by Young's modulus and the circumference stress is sensitive to the variation of Poisson's ratio.

The variable-coefficients partial differential equations (vc-PDEs) in finance are investigated by Lie symmetry analysis and the generalized power series method. All of the geometric vector fields of the equations are obtained; the symmetry reductions and exact solutions to the equations are presented, including the exponentiated solutions and the similarity solutions. Furthermore, the exact analytic solutions are provided by the transformation technique and generalized power series method, which has shown that the combination of Lie symmetry analysis and the generalized power series method is a feasible approach to dealing with exact solutions to the variable-coefficients PDEs.

The fractional power series method is used to solve 2- and 3-D fractional wave-like models with variable coefficients. The fractional derivatives are described in the Caputo sense. Two examples are considered to show the effectiveness and convenience of the method.
