Complex vibrations of closed cylindrical shells of circular cross section and finite length subjected to nonuniform sign-changeable external load in the frame of classical nonlinear theory are studied. A transition from partial differential equations to ordinary differential equations (Cauchy problem) is carried out using the higher order Bubnov–Galerkin’s approach and Fourier’s representation. On the other hand, the Cauchy problem is solved using the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. Results are analyzed owing to the application of nonlinear dynamics and qualitative theory of differential equations. The present work is devoted to the analysis of influence of the system dynamics of the following parameters: length of pressure width φ0, relative linear shell dimension λ=L∕R, and frequency ωp and amplitude q0 of external transversal load. Some new scenarios of vibrations of closed cylindrical shells exhibiting a transition from harmonic to chaotic vibrations are illustrated and studied.

AbstractBased on the Bernoulli–Euler beam theory, the nonlinear governing differential equations (GDEs) for a spatially deflected beam with circular cross-section are formulated, which are then reduced to first-order differential equations to be compatible with Runge–Kutta method. With the boundary conditions of a spatial beam, the governing equations are treated as an initial value problem (IVP) of ordinary differential equations. A Runge–Kutta method combined with an unconstrained optimization algorithm (RKUO) is presented to solve the IVP. The approach for determining the orientation of the cross-section plane at any position on the deflected beam is also provided. Finally, the comparison between the RKUO results and those achieved using nonlinear finite element (NFE) analysis and spatial pseudo-rigid-body model validate the accuracy and effectiveness of RKUO. The results also demonstrated the unique capabilities of RKUO to solve large spatial deflection problems that are outside the range of nonlinear finite element model.

This paper is about the propagation of the singularities in the solutions to the Cauchy problem of the spatially inhomogeneous Boltzmann equation with angular cutoff assumption. It is motivated by the work of Boudin–Desvillettes on the propagation of singularities in solutions near vacuum. It shows that for the solution near a global Maxwellian, singularities in the initial data propagate like the free transportation. Precisely, the solution is the sum of two parts in which one keeps the singularities of the initial data and the other one is regular with locally bounded derivatives of fractional order in some Sobolev space. In addition, the dependence of the regularity on the cross-section is also given.

This paper presents an investigation of modeling and solving of differential equations in the study of mechanical systems with holonomic constraints. The 2D and 3D mathematical models of constrained motion are made. The structure of the models consists of nonlinear first or second order differential equations. Cases of free movement and movement with resistance are investigated. Solutions of the Cauchy problem of obtained differential equations were obtained by Runge–Kutta method.

AbstractAn elementary approach, based on a systematic use of lower and upper solutions, is employed to detect the qualitative properties of solutions of first order scalar periodic ordinary differential equations. This study is carried out in the Carathéodory setting, avoiding any uniqueness assumption, in the future or in the past, for the Cauchy problem. Various classical and recent results are recovered and generalized.

One of the mathematical models describing the behavior of two horizontally infinite adjoining layers of an ideal incompressible liquid under a solid cover moving at different speeds is investigated. At a large difference in the layer velocities, the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability occurs, which leads to a distortion of the interface. At the initial point in time, the interface is not necessarily flat. From a mathematical point of view, the behavior of the liquid layers is described by a system of four quasilinear equations, either hyperbolic or elliptic, in partial derivatives of the first order. Some type shallow water equations are used to construct the model. In the simple version of the model considered in this paper, in the spatially one-dimensional case, the unknowns are the boundary between the liquid layers h(x,t) and the difference in their velocities γ(x,t). The main attention is paid to the case of elliptic equations when |h|<1 and γ>1. An evolutionary Cauchy problem with arbitrary sufficiently smooth initial data is set for the system of equations. The explicit dependence of the Riemann invariants on the initial variables of the problem is indicated. To solve the Cauchy problem formulated in terms of Riemann invariants, a variant of the hodograph method based on a certain conservation law is used. This method allows us to convert a system of two quasilinear partial differential equations of the first order to a single linear partial differential equation of the second order with variable coefficients. For a linear equation, the Riemann-Green function is specified, which is used to construct a two-parameter implicit solution to the original problem. The explicit solution of the problem is constructed on the level lines (isochrons) of the implicit solution by solving a certain Cauchy problem for a system of ordinary differential equations. As a result, the original Cauchy problem in partial derivatives of the first order is transformed to the Cauchy problem for a system of ordinary differential equations, which is solved by numerical methods. Due to the bulkiness of the expression for the Riemann-Green function, some asymptotic approximation of the problem is considered, and the results of calculations, and their analysis are presented.
