A dispersive model is developed for wave propagation in periodic heterogeneous media. The model is based on the higher order mathematical homogenization theory with multiple spatial and temporal scales. A fast spatial scale and a slow temporal scale are introduced to account for the rapid spatial fluctuations as well as to capture the long-term behavior of the homogenized solution. By this approach the problem of secularity, which arises in the conventional multiple-scale higher order homogenization of wave equations with oscillatory coefficients, is successfully resolved. A model initial boundary value problem is analytically solved and the results have been found to be in good agreement with a numerical solution of the source problem in a heterogeneous medium.

AbstractNumerical methods are developed to simulate the wave propagation in heterogeneous 2D fluid/poroelastic media. Wave propagation is described by the usual acoustics equations (in the fluid medium) and by the low-frequency Biot’s equations (in the porous medium). Interface conditions are introduced to model various hydraulic contacts between the two media: open pores, sealed pores, and imperfect pores. Well-posedness of the initial-boundary value problem is proven. Cartesian grid numerical methods previously developed in porous heterogeneous media are adapted to the present context: a fourth-order ADER scheme with Strang splitting for time- marching; a space-time mesh-refinement to capture the slow compressional wave predicted by Biot’s theory; and an immersed interface method to discretize the interface conditions and to introduce a subcell resolution. Numerical experiments and comparisons with exact solutions are proposed for the three types of interface conditions, demonstrating the accuracy of the approach.

AbstractIn this paper, we study the initial boundary value problem for a class of higher-order n-dimensional nonlinear pseudo-parabolic equations which do not have positive energy and come from the soil mechanics, the heat conduction, and the nonlinear optics. By the mountain pass theorem we first prove the existence of nonzero weak solution to the static problem, which is the important basis of evolution problem, then based on the method of potential well we prove the existence of global weak solution to the evolution problem.

Abstract A computational approach to analysis of wave propagation in plane stress problems is presented. The initial-boundary value problem is spatially approximated by the multi-node C0 displacement-based isoparametric quadrilateral finite elements. To integrate the element matrices the multi-node Gauss-Legendre-Lobatto quadrature rule is employed. The temporal discretization is carried out by the Newmark type algorithm reformulated to accommodate the structure of local element matrices. Numerical simulations are conducted for a T-shaped steel panel for different cases of initial excitation. For diagnostic purposes, the uniformly distributed loads subjected to an edge of the T-joint are found to be the most appropriate for design of ultrasonic devices for monitoring the structural element integrity

In this paper we study the initial boundary value problem for logarithmic Higher Order Wave equation. Introducing the Logarithmic Sobolev inequality and using the combination of Galerkin method, we consider the theorem of existence of a global weak solution to problem for the initial boundary value problem of the logarithmic wave equation. By constructing an appropriate Lyapunov function, we obtain the decay estimates of energy for logarithmic Higher Order Wave equation. The proof of the main theorem is given.

In this paper, we consider initial-boundary value problem on semiaxis for generalized Kawahara equation with higher-order nonlinearity. We obtain the result on existence and uniqueness of the global solution. Also, if the equation contains the absorbing term vanishing at infinity, we prove that the solution decays at large time values.

This paper is devoted to the study of the well-posedness of an initial boundary value problem for an odd higher order nonlinear pseudohyperbolic integrodifferential partial differential equation. We associate to the equationnnonlocal conditions andn+1classical conditions. Upon some a priori estimates and density arguments, we first establish the existence and uniqueness of the strongly generalized solution in a class of a certain type of Sobolev spaces for the associated linear mixed problem. On the basis of the obtained results for the linear problem, we apply an iterative process in order to establish the well-posedness of the nonlinear problem.
