New explicit and exact traveling wave solutions for two nonlinear evolution equations

In this paper, with the aid of computer symbolic computation system such as Maple, an algebraic method is firstly applied to two nonlinear evolution equations, namely, nonlinear Schrodinger equation and Pochhammer–Chree (PC) equation. As a consequence, some new types of exact traveling wave solutions are obtained, which include bell and kink profile solitary wave solutions, triangular periodic wave solutions, and singular solutions. The method is straightforward and concise, and it can also be applied to other nonlinear evolution equations in mathematical physics.     

Exact solutions of some general nonlinear wave equations in elasticity

A similarity analysis of a nonlinear wave equation in elasticity is studied; in particular, one with anharmonic corrections. The symmetry transformation give rise to exact solutions via the method of invariants. In some cases, graphical figure of the solutions are presented. Furthermore, we consider some cases wherein the velocities of the longitudinal and transversal plane waves are variable. Finally, a brief discussion on how a symmetry analysis on a perturbation of the elasticity equation can be pursued.     

Generalized solitonary and periodic solutions for nonlinear partial differential equations by the Exp-function method

In this paper, the Exp-function method with the aid of the symbolic computational system Maple is used to obtain the generalized solitonary solutions and periodic solutions for nonlinear evolution equations arising in mathematical physics, namely, (2+1)-dimensional Konopelchenko–Dubrovsky equations, the (3+1)-dimensional Jimbo–Miwa equation, the Kadomtsev–Petviashvili (KP) equation, and the (2+1)-dimensional sine-Gordon equation. It is shown that the Exp-function method, with the help of symbolic computation, provides a powerful mathematical tool for solving other nonlinear evolution equations arising in mathematical physics.

Propagation of surface (seismic) waves: Ordinary differential equations with strongly nonlinear damping

Second-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with strongly nonlinear damping (cubic nonlinearities) govern surface wave motions that entail nonlinear surface seismic motions. They apply to dynamic crack propagation and nonlinear oscillation problems in physics and nonlinear mechanics. It is shown that the nonlinear surface seismic wave equation (Rayleigh equation) admits several functional transformations and it is possible to reduce it to an equivalent first-order Abel ODE of the second kind in normal form. Based on a recently developed methodology concerning the construction of exact analytic solutions for the type of Abel equations under consideration, exact solutions are obtained for the nonlinear seismic wave (NLSW) equation for initial conditions of the physical problem. The method employed is general and can be applied to a large class of relevant ODEs in mathematical physics and nonlinear mechanics.

The integrability of these invariants deserves the integrability of the given set of coupled differential equations. As applications, the Lorenz and Rikitake sets, among others, are studied. New invariants are obtained.

Some exact solutions for a class of compressible non-linearly elastic materials

In this paper we consider exact solutions for plane and axisymmetric deformations for a class of compressible elastic materials we call coharmonic. The coharmonic materials are derived from the harmonic materials by using Shield's inverse deformation theorem. The governing equations for the coharmonic material show the same kind of simplification associated with the harmonic materials. The equations reduce to first-order linear equations depending on an arbitrary harmonic function. They are intractable in general, so various ansätze are investigated. Boundary value problems for the coharmonic materials are compared with the same problems for harmonic materials. For certain boundary value problems, the harmonic materials exhibit well-known problematic behaviour which limits their use as models of material behaviour. The corresponding solutions for the coharmonic materials do not display these non-physical features.     

On the reduction of some second-order nonlinear ODEs in physics and mechanics to first-order nonlinear integrodifferential and Abel’s classes of equations

Second-order ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with strong nonlinear stiffness terms (cubic nonlinearities) governing wave motions, dynamic crack propagations, nonlinear oscillations etc. in physics and nonlinear mechanics are analyzed. Selecting as guide line a second-order nonlinear ODE of the form of the forced Duffing equation and using admissible functional transformations it is possible to reduce it to an equivalent first-order nonlinear integrodifferential equation. The reduced equation is exact. In the limits of small or large values of the parameter characterizing this nonlinear problem, it is shown that further reductions lead to a nonlinear ODE of the Abel classes. Taking into account the known exact analytic solutions of this equivalent equation it is proved that there does not exist an exact analytic solution of this type of equations. However, in cases when convenient functional relations connecting all parameters of the corresponding null equation and the characteristics of the driving force exist, approximate analytic solutions to the problem under consideration are provided.     

On new symplectic superposition method for exact bending solutions of rectangular cantilever thin plates

A novel superposition method based on the symplectic geometry approach is presented for exact bending analysis of rectangular cantilever thin plates. The basic equations for rectangular thin plate are first transferred into Hamilton canonical equations. By the symplectic geometry method, the analytic solutions to some problems for plates with slidingly supported edges are derived. Then the exact bending solutions of rectangular cantilever thin plates are obtained using the method of superposition. The symplectic superposition method developed in this paper is completely rational compared with the conventional analytical ones because the predetermination of deflection functions, which is indispensable in existing methods, is dispelled.     

Explicit solution to the exact Riemann problem and application in nonlinear shallow‐water equations

The Riemann solver is the fundamental building block in the Godunov‐type formulation of many nonlinear fluid‐flow problems involving discontinuities. While existing solvers are obtained either iteratively or through approximations of the Riemann problem, this paper reports an explicit analytical solution to the exact Riemann problem. The present approach uses the homotopy analysis method to solve the nonlinear algebraic equations resulting from the Riemann problem. A deformation equation defines a continuous variation from an initial approximation to the exact solution through an embedding parameter. A Taylor series expansion of the exact solution about the embedding parameter provides a series solution in recursive form with the initial approximation as the zeroth‐order term. For the nonlinear shallow‐water equations, a sensitivity analysis shows fast convergence of the series solution and the first three terms provide highly accurate results. The proposed Riemann solver is implemented in an existing finite‐volume model with a Godunov‐type scheme. The model correctly describes the formation of shocks and rarefaction fans for both one and two‐dimensional dam‐break problems, thereby verifying the proposed Riemann solver for general implementation.

A new method for obtaining the exact solutions of the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations and its applications

In this paper we propose a new method for obtaining the exact solutions of the Mavier-Stokes (NS) equations for incompressible viscous fluid in the light of the theory of simplified Navier-Stokes (SNS) equations developed by the first author^[1,2], Using the present method we can find some new exact solutions as well as the well-known exact solutions of the NS equations. In illustration of its applications, we give a variety of exact solutions of incompressible viscous fluid flows for which NS equations of fluid motion are written in Cartesian coordinates, or in cylindrical polar coordinates, or in spherical coordinates.
