Theoretical Results

In this paper, we derive an analytical solution of a two-dimensional temperature field in a hollow sphere subjected to periodic boundary condition. The material is assumed to be homogeneous and isotropic with time-independent thermal properties. Because of the time-dependent term in the boundary condition, Duhamel’s theorem is used to solve the problem for a periodic boundary condition. The boundary condition is decomposed by Fourier series. In order to check the validity of the results, the technique was also applied to a solid sphere under harmonic boundary condition for which theoretical results were available in the literature. The agreement between the results of the proposed method and those reported by others for this particular geometry under harmonic boundary condition was realized to be very good, confirming the applicability of the technique utilized in the present work.

The objective of this article is to derive an analytical solution for a two-dimensional temperature field in a hollow cylinder, which is subjected to a periodic boundary condition at the outer surface, while the inner surface is insulated. The material is assumed to be homogeneous and isotropic with time-independent thermal properties. Because of the time-dependent term in the boundary condition, Duhamel's theorem is used to solve the problem for a periodic boundary condition. The periodic boundary condition is decomposed using the Fourier series. This condition is simulated with harmonic oscillation; however, there are some differences with the real situation. To solve this problem, first of all the boundary condition is assumed to be steady. By applying the method of separation of variables, the temperature distribution in a hollow cylinder can be obtained. Then, the boundary condition is assumed to be transient. In both these cases, the solutions are separately calculated. By using Duhamel's theorem, the temperature distribution field in a hollow cylinder is obtained. The final result is plotted with respect to the Biot and Fourier numbers. There is good agreement between the results of the proposed method and those reported by others for this geometry under a simple harmonic boundary condition.

Abstract This study investigates the solutions of an impulsive fractional differential equation incorporated with a pantograph. This work extends and improves some results of the impulsive fractional differential equation. A differential equation of an impulsive fractional pantograph with a more general anti-periodic boundary condition is proposed. By employing the well-known fixed point theorems of Banach and Krasnoselskii, the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the proposed problem are established. Furthermore, two examples are presented to support our theoretical analysis.

Abstract A new time-delayed periodic boundary condition (PBC) has been proposed for discrete element modelling (DEM) of periodic structures subject to moving loads such as railway track based on a box test which is normally used as an element testing model. The new proposed time-delayed PBC is approached by predicting forces acting on ghost particles with the consideration of different loading phases for adjacent sleepers whereas a normal PBC simply gives the ghost particles the same contact forces as the original particles. By comparing the sleeper in a single sleeper test with a fixed boundary, a normal periodic boundary and the newly proposed time-delayed PBC (TDPBC), the new TDPBC was found to produce the closest settlement to that of the middle sleeper in a three-sleeper test which was assumed to be free of boundary effects. It appears that the new TDPBC can eliminate the boundary effect more effectively than either a fixed boundary or a normal periodic cell. Graphic abstract
