Abstract: A fractional-order Maxwell model was used to describe viscoelastic seabed mud.The experimental data of real mud were fitted well by the fractional-order Maxwell model,which had fewer parameters than the traditional one.This model was then applied to investigate the effect of mud on surface-wave damp...
Abstract: Numerical solutions of MHD effects on free convective flow an incompressible viscous fluid past a moving semi-infinite vertical cylinder with temperature oscillation was presented.The dimensionless, unsteady,non-linear and coupled governing partial differential equations were solved using an implici...
Abstract: The "three configurations" based surface/interface energy theory proposed by Huang et al was used to study the effective properties of thermal elastic nanocomposites.Particular emphasis was placed on the discussions of the influence of the residual interface stress on the thermal expansion coefficie...
Abstract: The nonstationary probability densities of system response of a single-degree-of-freedom system with lightly nonlinear damping and strongly nonlinear stiffness subject to dulated white noise excitation were studied.Using the stochastic averaging method based on the generalized harmonic functions,the...
Abstract: Using the complex variable function method and the technique of the conformal mapping,the fracture problem of two semi-infinite collinear cracks in a piezoelectric strip was studied under the antiplane shear stress and in-plane electric load on the partial crack surface.The analytic solutions of the...
Abstract: The spline finite strip method was one of the most popular numerical methods for analyzing prismatic structures.Efficacy and convergence of the method had been demonstrated in previous studies by comparing only numerical results with analytical results of some benchmark problems.To date,no mathemati...
Abstract: Propagation of elastic waves through a micro gap between two solids with consideration of frictional contact was investigated.By using the Fourier analysis technique and corrective solution method, the nonlinear boundary problem was reduced to a set of algebraic equations.Numerical results exhibit t...
Abstract: An appropriate coupled cohesive law for predicting mixed mode failure was established by combining normal separation and tangential separation of surface in cohesive zone model and cohesive element method.Xu-Needleman exponential cohesive law with fully shearing failure mechanism was one of the most...
Abstract: The Lin-Reissner-Tsien equation describes unsteady transonic flows under the transonic approximation.The equation was reduced to an ordinary differential equation via a similarity transformation. The resulting equation was then solved analytically,and in some cases even exactly.Numerical simulations...
Abstract: A new class of bilevel generalized mixed equilibrium problems(BGMEP)involving generalized mixed variational-like inequality problems was introduced and studied in reflexive Banach spaces. First,an auxiliary generalized mixed equilibrium problem(AGMEP)to compute the approximate solutions of the bilev...
Abstract: The numerical solutions of standing wave for Euler equations with nonlinear free surface boundary condition in a two dimensional tank were solved.The irregular tank was mapped onto a fixed square domain through proper mapping functions and a staggered mesh system was employed in a two dimensional ta...
