Abstract Considering the high cost of numerical simulation for aeroelastic coupling analysis, it is difficult to directly apply it to engineering. In this paper, the typical swept trapezoidal wing of hypersonic aircraft [1] is simplified to a cantilever trapezoidal plate [2]. Based on semi-analytical method [3], including von Karman plate theory to consider the structural geometric nonlinearity, third-order piston theory to calculate quasi steady aerodynamic force, and Rayleigh-Ritz method to characterize the displacement as a mode superposition form, the aeroelastic equation of the swept trapezoidal wing is established, and the fourthorder Runge Kutta numerical integration is More >

Abstract In this work, We are looking at the characteristics of micropolar flow in a porous channel that’s being driven by suction or injection. The working of the fluid is described in the flow model. We can reduce the governing nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) to a model of coupled systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations using similarity variables (ODEs). In order to obtain the results of a coupled system of nonlinear ODEs, we discuss a method which is known as the differential transform method (DTM). The concern transform is an excellent mathematical tool to obtain More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract This study employs a semi-analytical approach, called Optimal Homotopy Asymptotic Method (OHAM), to analyze a coronavirus (COVID-19) transmission model of fractional order. The proposed method employs Caputo's fractional derivatives and Reimann-Liouville fractional integral sense to solve the underlying model. To the best of our knowledge, this work presents the first application of an optimal homotopy asymptotic scheme for better estimation of the future dynamics of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our proposed fractional-order scheme for the parameterized model is based on the available number of infected cases from January 21 to January 28, 2020, in Wuhan City More >

Abstract A semi-analytical form of complex modal analysis is proposed for the time-variant dynamical problem of rotating pipe conveying fluid system. The complex mode superposition method is introduced for the dynamic analysis in the time and frequency domains, in which appropriate orthogonality conditions are constructed to decouple the time-variant equation of motion. Consequently, complex frequencies and modes of vibration are analytically formulated and the variations of frequencies and damping of the system are evaluated. Numerical time-variant example of rotating pipe conveying fluid illustrates the effectiveness and accuracy of this method. Furthermore, the proposed solution scheme is More >

Abstract Basic probabilistic characteristics and reliability indices of critical forces for high steel skeletal towers are numerically modeled by using the Stochastic, perturbation-based Finite Element Method. It is implemented together with the Weighted Least Squares Method and compared with the Monte-Carlo simulation as well as with the semi-analytical Probabilistic FEM. The Finite Element Method solution to the stability problem for a full 3D model of a tower accounts for both first and second order effects known from the engineering codes as the so-called P-delta effect. Two different Gaussian input random variables are adopted here – Young More >

Abstract In this paper, a semi-analytical method is presented for free vibration and buckling analysis of functionally graded (FG) size-dependent nanobeams based on the physical neutral axis position. It is the first time that a semi-analytical differential transform method (DTM) solution is developed for the FG nanobeams vibration and buckling analysis. Material properties of FG nanobeam are supposed to vary continuously along the thickness according to the power-law form. The physical neutral axis position for mentioned FG nanobeams is determined. The small scale effect is taken into consideration based on nonlocal elasticity theory of Eringen. The… More >

Abstract The control and separation of a scanning device moving along an arbitrary trajectory on an elastic plate is investigated. The system is a moving mass problem and is difficult to analyze directly. A semi-analytical method for the movingmass model is presented here. Without vibration control, the separation of a vehicle from a plate is likely to happen. The mechanism of separation of a vehicle from a plate is studied. Moreover, the effects of several parameters on vibration separation and the critical speed of system are studied. An effective control methodology is proposed for suppressing vibration More >

Abstract In this study, examine the in-plane vibration of a robot arm picking and placing a mass along arbitrary curved tracking. This mathematical model is established. It is a moving mass problem. Due to the effect of movement along arbitrary curved tracking, the corresponding differential equation is nonlinear with the time-dependent coefficients and non-homogenous boundary conditions. So far, a few literatures devoted to investigate this system due to its complexity. The solution method procedure for this system is presented. It integrates several methods as the transform of variable, the subsection method, the mode superposition method, and More >

Abstract In this paper, the Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin method based on Rankine source solution (MLPG_R) is further developed to model 3D breaking waves. For this purpose, the technique for identifying free surface particles called Mixed Particle Number Density and Auxiliary Function Method (MPAM) and the semi-analytical technique for estimating the domain integrals for 2D cases are extended to 3D cases. In addition, a new semi-analytical technique is developed to deal with the local spherical surface integrals. The numerical results obtained by the newly developed method will be compared with experimental data available in literature and satisfactory More >
