Solitary waves in a fluid-filled thin elastic tube with variable cross-section

The present work treats the arteries as a thin walled prestressed elastic tube with variable cross-section and uses the longwave approximation to study the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in such a fluid-filled elastic tube by employing the reductive perturbation method. By considering the blood as an incompressible inviscid fluid, the evolution equation is obtained as the Korteweg–de Vries equation with a variable coefficient. It is shown that this type of equations admits a solitary wave type of solution with variable wave speed. It is observed that, for soft biological tissues with an exponential strain energy function the wave speed increases with distance for narrowing tubes while it decreases for expanding tubes.

It is shown that this type of equations admit a solitary wave type of solution with variable wave speed. It is observed that, the wave speed increases with distance for positive tapering while it decreases for negative tapering.     

Propagation Speed of the Bistable Traveling Wave to the Lotka–Volterra Competition System in a Periodic Habitat

We study propagation direction of the traveling wave for the diffusive Lotka–Volterra competition system with bistable nonlinearity in a periodic habitat. By directly proving the strong stability of two semitrivial equilibria, we establish a new and sharper result on the existence of traveling wave. Using the method of upper and lower solutions, we provide two comparison theorems concerning the direction of traveling wave propagation. Several explicit sufficient conditions on the determination of the speed sign are established. In addition, an interval estimation of the bistable-wave speed reveals the relations among the bistable speed and the spreading speeds of two monostable subsystems. Biologically, our idea and insight provide an effective approach to find or control the direction of wave propagation for a system in heterogeneous environments.

In the present work, treating the arteries as a tapered, thin-walled, long and circularly conical prestressed elastic tube and using the long-wave approximation, we have studied the propagation of weakly nonlinear waves in such a fluid-filled elastic tube by employing the reductive perturbation method. By considering the blood as an incompressible inviscid fluid the evolution equation is obtained as the Korteweg-de Vries equation with a variable coefficient.

It is observed that the wave speed increases with the scaled time parameter τ for positive tapering while it decreases for negative tapering, as expected.     

The existence and non-existence of traveling waves of scalar reaction-diffusion-advection equation in unbounded cylinder

This paper is concerned with the existence and non-existence of traveling wave solutions of reaction-diffusion-advection equation with boundary conditions of mixed type in unbounded cylinder. By constructing new supper-sub solutions and applying monotone iteration method, we obtain existence of traveling wave solutions with wave velocity bigger than the “minimal speed”. For wave velocity smaller than the “minimal speed”, we find that traveling waves of exponential decay do not exist. Finally, we apply our results to KPP type nonlinearity.     

Traveling wave front for a two-component lattice dynamical system arising in competition models

We study traveling front solutions for a two-component system on a one-dimensional lattice. This system arises in the study of the competition between two species with diffusion (or migration), if we divide the habitat into discrete regions or niches. We consider the case when the nonlinear source terms are of Lotka–Volterra type and of monostable case. We first show that there is a positive constant (the minimal wave speed) such that a traveling front exists if and only if its speed is above this minimal wave speed. Then we show that any wave profile is strictly monotone. Moreover, under some conditions, we show that the wave profile is unique (up to translations) for a given wave speed. Finally, we characterize the minimal wave speed by the parameters in the system.

Propagation of a plane wave to a materially uniform but inhomogeneous body

We produce the equations of small deformations superimposed upon large for materially uniform but inhomogeneous bodies and specialize to an isotropic material and to a homogeneous finite elastic deformation. By assuming the small deformation to be a plane wave, a set of equations for the amplitude of the wave is produced which is accompanied by an additional set of conditions. By requiring a non-trivial solution for the amplitude, we obtain the secular equation and from it a set of necessary and sufficient conditions for having a real wave speed. The second set of conditions that have to be satisfied is due to the materials inhomogeneity. Essentially, the present analysis enhances the approach of Hayes and Rivlin for materially uniform but inhomogeneous bodies. The outcome is that for such bodies the restrictions on the constitutive law for having real wave speeds for an isotropic material subjected to a pure homogeneous deformation involves the field of the inhomogeneity as well.     

Hertz problem for a rigid punch moving across the surface of a semi-infinite elastic solid

The elastodynamic problem of a rigid punch moving at a constant sub-Rayleigh speed across the surface of an elastic half-space is investigated in the present paper. The unknown contact region is determined as part of solution from the unilateral or Signorini conditions. Numerical results are plotted showing how the eccentricity of the contact ellipse changes with the punch speed. Some asymptotic properties of the solution for the case where the punch speed is comparable with the Rayleigh wave speed are explored in details.     

Existence, uniqueness and asymptotic stability of time periodic traveling waves for a periodic Lotka–Volterra competition system with diffusion

We study the existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic stability of time periodic traveling wave solutions to a periodic diffusive Lotka–Volterra competition system. Under certain conditions, we prove that there exists a maximal wave speed c^? such that for each wave speed c?c^?, there is a time periodic traveling wave connecting two semi-trivial periodic solutions of the corresponding kinetic system. It is shown that such a traveling wave is unique modulo translation and is monotone with respect to its co-moving frame coordinate. We also show that the traveling wave solutions with wave speed c<c^? are asymptotically stable in certain sense. In addition, we establish the nonexistence of time periodic traveling waves for nonzero speed c>c^?.

The finiteness of the number of symmetrical extensions of a locally finite tree by a finite graph

The problem of incidence of an acoustic wave on the interface between media with impedance interface conditions is considered. An approximate method is proposed for calculating the result of diffraction under such conditions. The method is implemented as a computer program, and the result is compared with the analytical solution for the impedance conditions and with the calculations by a program for the contact boundary conditions. Good accuracy of the method and high computation speed are demonstrated, which allow one to apply the proposed approximate method to solving both direct and inverse problems of acoustics.     

The multiple-scale wave equation

An analytic and numerical study of the behavior of the linear nonhomogeneous wave equation of the form ε²u_tt = Δu + tf with high wave speed (ε 1) is carried out. This study was initially motivated by meteorological observations which have indicated the presence of large spatial scale gravity waves in the neighborhood of a number of summer and winter storms, mainly from visible images of ripples in clouds in satellite photos. There is a question as to whether the presence of these waves is caused by the nearby storms. Since the linear wave equation is an approximation to the full system describing pressure waves in the atmosphere, yet is considerably more tractable, we have chosen to analyze the behavior of the linear nonhomogeneous wave equation with high wave speed. The analysis is shown to be valid in one, two, and three space dimensions. Partly because of the high wave speed, the solution is known to consist of behavior which changes on two different time scales, one rapid and one slow. Additionally, because of the presence of the nonhomogeneous forcing term tf, we show that there is a component of the solution which will vary only on a very large spatial scale. Since even the linearized wave equation can give rise to persistent large spatial scale waves under the right conditions, the implication is that certain storms could be responsible for the generation of large-scale waves. Numerical simulations in one and two dimensions confirm analytic results.     

Stability results for laminated beam with thermo-visco-elastic effects and localized nonlinear damping

In this article, we investigate a one-dimensional thermoelastic laminated beam system with nonlinear damping and viscoelastic dissipation on the effective rotation angle and through heat conduction in the interfacial slip equations. Under minimal conditions on the relaxation function and the relationship between the coefficients of the wave propagation speed of the first two equations, we show that the solution energy has an explicit and optimal decay rate from which the exponential and polynomial stability are just particular cases. Moreover, we establish a weaker decay result in the case of non-equal wave of speed propagation and give some examples illustrate our results. This work extends and improves the earlier results in the literature, particularly the result of Mukiawa et al. (2021).     

Linear vs. nonlinear selection for the propagation speed of the solutions of scalar reaction‐diffusion equations invading an unstable equilibrium

We revisit the classical problem of speed selection for the propagation of disturbances in scalar reaction‐diffusion equations with one linearly stable and one linearly unstable equilibrium. For a wide class of initial data this problem reduces to finding the minimal speed of the monotone traveling wave solutions connecting these two equilibria in one space dimension. We introduce a variational characterization of these traveling wave solutions and give a necessary and sufficient condition for linear versus nonlinear selection mechanism. We obtain sufficient conditions for the linear and nonlinear selection mechanisms that are easily verifiable. Our method also allows us to obtain efficient lower and upper bounds for the propagation speed. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
