Under investigation in this work is a generalized higher-order beam equation, which is an important physical model and describes the vibrations of a rod. By considering Lie symmetry analysis, and using the power series method, we derive the geometric vector fields, symmetry reductions, group invariant solutions and power series solutions of the equation, respectively. The convergence analysis of the power series solutions are also provided with detailed proof. Furthermore, by virtue of the multipliers, the local conservation laws of the equation are derived as well. Furthermore, an effective and direct approach is proposed to study the symmetry-preserving discretization for the equation via its potential system. Finally, the invariant difference models of the generalized beam equation are successfully constructed. Our results show that it is very useful to construct the difference models of the potential system instead of the original equation.

A new approach to a class of regular perturbation problems of common occurrence in lubrication theory is presented. The approach is not dependent on extensive algebraic manipulation and predicts results which, apart from numerical rounding error, are in exact agreement with standard theory. Three illustrative examples are studied in detail and it is demonstrated that asymptotic approximations obtained through use of the approach can be of a substantially higher order than approximations at present in the literature.

The Stokes flow problem is considered here for the case in which an axially symmetric body is uniformly rotating about its axis of symmetry. Analytic solutions are presented for the heretofore unsolved cases of a spindle, a torus, a lens, and various special configurations of a lens. Formulas are derived for the angular velocity of the flow field and for the couple experienced by the body in each case.
