A hybrid technique for the solution of unsteady Maxwell fluid with fractional derivatives due to tangential shear stress

The article describes the unsteady motion of viscoelastic fluid for a Maxwell model with fractional derivatives. The flow is produced by cylinder, considering time dependent quadratic shear stress ft² on Maxwell fluid with fractional derivatives. The fractional calculus approach is used in the constitutive relationship of Maxwell model. By applying Laplace transform with respect to time t and modified Bessel functions, semianalytical solutions for velocity function and tangential shear stress are obtained. The obtained semianalytical results are presented in transform domain, satisfy both initial and boundary conditions. Our solutions particularized to Newtonian and Maxwell fluids having typical derivatives. The inverse Laplace transform has been calculated numerically. The numerical results for velocity function are shown in Table by using MATLAB program and compared them with two other algorithms in order to provide validation of obtained results. The influence of fractional parameters and material constants on the velocity field and tangential stress is analyzed by graphs.     

Non-linear viscoelastic behavior of polymer melts interpreted by fractional viscoelastic model

Very recently, researchers dealing with constitutive law pertinent viscoelastic materials put forward the successful idea to introduce viscoelastic laws embedded with fractional calculus, relating the stress function to a real order derivative of the strain function. The latter consideration leads to represent both, relaxation and creep functions, through a power law function. In literature there are many papers in which the best fitting of the peculiar viscoelastic functions using a fractional model is performed. However there are not present studies about best fitting of relaxation function and/or creep function of materials that exhibit a non-linear viscoelastic behavior, as polymer melts, using a fractional model. In this paper the authors propose an advanced model for capturing the non-linear trend of the shear viscosity of polymer melts as function of the shear rate. Results obtained with the fractional model are compared with those obtained using a classical model which involves classical Maxwell elements. The comparison between experimental data and the theoretical model shows a good agreement, emphasizing that fractional model is proper for studying viscoelasticity, even if the material exhibits a non-linear behavior.     

A class of linear viscoelastic models based on Bessel functions

In this paper we investigate a general class of linear viscoelastic models whose creep and relaxation memory functions are expressed in Laplace domain by suitable ratios of modified Bessel functions of contiguous order. In time domain these functions are shown to be expressed by Dirichlet series (that is infinite Prony series). It follows that the corresponding creep compliance and relaxation modulus turn out to be characterized by infinite discrete spectra of retardation and relaxation time respectively. As a matter of fact, we get a class of viscoelastic models depending on a real parameter \(\nu > -1\). Such models exhibit rheological properties akin to those of a fractional Maxwell model (of order 1/2) for short times and of a standard Maxwell model for long times.

Solution for a Fractional Diffusion-Wave Equation Defined in a Bounded Domain

A general solution is given for a fractional diffusion-wave equation defined in a bounded space domain. The fractional time derivative is described in the Caputo sense. The finite sine transform technique is used to convert a fractional differential equation from a space domain to a wavenumber domain. Laplace transform is used to reduce the resulting equation to an ordinary algebraic equation. Inverse Laplace and inverse finite sine transforms are used to obtain the desired solutions. The response expressions are written in terms of the Mittag–Leffler functions. For the first and the second derivative terms, these expressions reduce to the ordinary diffusion and wave solutions. Two examples are presented to show the application of the present technique. Results show that for fractional time derivatives of order 1/2 and 3/2, the system exhibits, respectively, slow diffusion and mixed diffusion-wave behaviors.     

Memory response on thermal wave propagation in an elastic solid with voids

Abstract

Fractional derivative is a widely accepted theory to describe the physical phenomena and the processes with memory responses which is defined in the form of convolution having kernels as power functions. Due to the shortcomings of power law distributions, some other forms of derivatives with few other kernel functions are proposed. This present study deals with a novel mathematical model of generalized thermoelasticity to investigate the transient phenomena for an infinite porous material subjected to the presence of distributed time-dependent heat source acting over the plane area. The heat transport equation for this problem is involving the memory dependent derivative on a slipping interval in the context of three-phase-lag (3PL) model of generalized thermoelasticity. Employing the Laplace transform as a tool, the analytical results for the distributions of the change in volume fraction field, temperature, stress, and displacement are obtained on solving the vector-matrix differential equation using eigenvalue approach. The numerical inversion of the Laplace transform is performed using the Zakian method. Excellent predictive capability is demonstrated due to the presence of memory dependent derivative and delay time also.

RETRACTED ARTICLE: Flow of fractional Maxwell fluid between coaxial cylinders

This paper deals with the study of unsteady flow of a Maxwell fluid with fractional derivative model, between two infinite coaxial circular cylinders, using Laplace and finite Hankel transforms. The motion of the fluid is produced by the inner cylinder that, at time t = 0⁺, is subject to a time-dependent longitudinal shear stress. Velocity field and the adequate shear stress are presented under series form in terms of the generalized G and R functions. The solutions that have been obtained satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions. The corresponding solutions for ordinary Maxwell and Newtonian fluids are obtained as limiting cases of general solutions. Finally, the influence of the pertinent parameters on the fluid motion as well as a comparison between the three models is underlined by graphical illustrations.

Constitutive equation with fractional derivatives for the generalized UCM model

A fundamental problem on the constitutive equation with fractional derivatives for the generalized upper convected Maxwell model (UCM) is studied. The existing investigations on the constitutive equation are reviewed and their limitations or deficiencies are highlighted. By utilizing the convected coordinates approach, a mathematically rigorous constitutive equation with fractional derivatives for the generalized UCM model is proposed, which has an explicit expression for the stress tensor. This model can be reduced to the linear generalized Maxwell model with fractional derivatives, the UCM model and some other existing models. In addition, the rheological properties of this proposed model in the start-up of simple shear and elongation flows are investigated. It is shown that this generalized UCM model can describe the various stress evolution processes and the strain hardening effect of the viscoelastic fluids.     

Exact solutions for the unsteady rotational flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid with fractional derivatives induced by a circular cylinder

In this research article, the unsteady rotational flow of an Oldroyd-B fluid with fractional derivative model through an infinite circular cylinder is studied by means of the finite Hankel and Laplace transforms. The motion is produced by the cylinder, that after time t=0⁺, begins to rotate about its axis with an angular velocity Ωt ^p . The solutions that have been obtained, presented under series form in terms of the generalized G-functions, satisfy all imposed initial and boundary conditions. The corresponding solutions that have been obtained can be easily particularized to give the similar solutions for Maxwell and Second grade fluids with fractional derivatives and for ordinary fluids (Oldroyd-B, Maxwell, Second grade and Newtonian fluids) performing the same motion, are obtained as limiting cases of general solutions. The most important things regarding this paper to mention are that (1) we extracted the expressions for the velocity field and the shear stress corresponding to the motion of Second grade fluid with fractional derivatives as a limiting case of our general solutions corresponding to the Oldroyd-B fluid with fractional derivatives, this is not previously done in the literature to the best of our knowledge, and (2) the expressions for the velocity field and the shear stress are in the most simplified form, and the point worth mentioning is that these expressions are free from convolution product and the integral of the product of the generalized G-functions. Finally, the influence of the pertinent parameters on the fluid motion, as well as a comparison between models, is shown by graphical illustrations.     

Coupling model for unsteady MHD flow of generalized Maxwell fluid with radiation thermal transform

This paper introduces a new model for the Fourier law of heat conduction with the time-fractional order to the generalized Maxwell fluid. The flow is influenced by magnetic field, radiation heat, and heat source. A fractional calculus approach is used to establish the constitutive relationship coupling model of a viscoelastic fluid. We use the Laplace transform and solve ordinary differential equations with a matrix form to obtain the velocity and temperature in the Laplace domain. To obtain solutions from the Laplace space back to the original space, the numerical inversion of the Laplace transform is used. According to the results and graphs, a new theory can be constructed. Comparisons of the associated parameters and the corresponding flow and heat transfer characteristics are presented and analyzed in detail.     

Plane surface suddenly set in motion in a viscoelastic fluid with fractional Maxwell model

The fractional calculus approach in the constitutive relationship model of viscoelastic fluid is introduced. The flow near a wall suddenly set in motion is studied for a non-Newtonian viscoelastic fluid with the fractional Maxwell model. Exact solutions of velocity and stress are obtained by using the discrete inverse Laplace transform of the sequential fractional derivatives. It is found that the effect of the fractional orders in the constitutive relationship on the flow field is significant. The results show that for small times there are appreciable viscoelastic effects on the shear stress at the plate, for large times the viscoelastic effects become weak.

Analytical solution of time fractional Cattaneo heat equation for finite slab under pulse heat flux

A fractional Cattaneo model is derived for studying the heat transfer in a finite slab irradiated by a short pulse laser. The analytical solutions for the fractional Cattaneo model, the classical Cattaneo-Vernotte model, and the Fourier model are obtained with finite Fourier and Laplace transforms. The effects of the fractional order parameter and the relaxation time on the temperature fields in the finite slab are investigated. The results show that the larger the fractional order parameter, the slower the thermal wave. Moreover, the higher the relaxation time, the slower the heat flux propagates. By comparing the fractional order Cattaneo model with the classical Cattaneo-Vernotte and Fourier models, it can be found that the heat flux predicted using the fractional Cattaneo model always transports from the high temperature to the low one, which is in accord with the second law of thermodynamics. However, the classical Cattaneo-Vernotte model shows that the unphysical heat flux sometimes transports from the low temperature to the high one.     

Nonlocal elasticity: an approach based on fractional calculus

Fractional calculus is the mathematical subject dealing with integrals and derivatives of non-integer order. Although its age approaches that of classical calculus, its applications in mechanics are relatively recent and mainly related to fractional damping. Investigations using fractional spatial derivatives are even newer. In the present paper spatial fractional calculus is exploited to investigate a material whose nonlocal stress is defined as the fractional integral of the strain field. The developed fractional nonlocal elastic model is compared with standard integral nonlocal elasticity, which dates back to Eringen’s works. Analogies and differences are highlighted. The long tails of the power law kernel of fractional integrals make the mechanical behaviour of fractional nonlocal elastic materials peculiar. Peculiar are also the power law size effects yielded by the anomalous physical dimension of fractional operators. Furthermore we prove that the fractional nonlocal elastic medium can be seen as the continuum limit of a lattice model whose points are connected by three levels of springs with stiffness decaying with the power law of the distance between the connected points. Interestingly, interactions between bulk and surface material points are taken distinctly into account by the fractional model. Finally, the fractional differential equation in terms of the displacement function along with the proper static and kinematic boundary conditions are derived and solved implementing a suitable numerical algorithm. Applications to some example problems conclude the paper.

Stochastic solution to a time-fractional attenuated wave equation

The power law wave equation uses two different fractional derivative terms to model wave propagation with power law attenuation. This equation averages complex nonlinear dynamics into a convenient, tractable form with an explicit analytical solution. This paper develops a random walk model to explain the appearance and meaning of the fractional derivative terms in that equation, and discusses an application to medical ultrasound. In the process, a new strictly causal solution to this fractional wave equation is developed.     

Exact solutions for fractional diffusion equation in a bounded domain with different boundary conditions

We give an analytical treatment of a time fractional diffusion equation with Caputo time-fractional derivative in a bounded domain with different boundary conditions. We use the Fourier method of separation of variables and Laplace transform method. The solution is obtained in terms of the Mittag-Leffler-type functions and complete set of eigenfunctions of the Sturm–Liouville problem. Such problems can be used in the context of anomalous diffusion in complex media, as well as for modeling voltammetric experiment in limiting diffusion space.
