The equations of motion for any discrete, lower pair mechanical system can be obtained by analyzing a branched, three-dimensional compound pendulum of indefinite length. In this paper, a set of expressions which provides the equations of motion of arbitrary mechanical dynamic systems directly as ordinary differential equations are presented. These expressions and the associated technique is applicable to linear and nonlinear unconstrained dynamic systems, kinematic systems and multidegree-of-freedom constrained systems.

A set of expressions termed the generalized d’Alembert force is determined for application to two and three-dimensional dynamic analysis of discrete, nonlinear, multifreedom, constrained, mechanical dynamic systems. These expressions greatly simplify the task of developing a correct set of second order differential equations of motion for mechanical systems which are nonlinear because of large deflections or other geometric effects. They apply to both constrained and unconstrained mechanical systems via the method of Lagrange equations with constraint. The two-dimensional version of the expressions has been successfully applied in a type-varient computer program for the dynamic analysis of mechanical networks, and example problems simulated with this program are discussed.

Three-dimensional elasticity solution is presented for finite length, simply supported, laminated cylinder with a piezoelectric layer under dynamic thermal load and pressure. The piezoelectric layer can be used as an actuator or a sensor. The ordinary differential equations are obtained from partial differential equations of motion by means of trigonometric function expansion in longitudinal direction. Galerkin finite element method is used to solve the resulting ordinary differential equations. Finally numerical results are discussed for different situations.

The equations of motion for the three-dimensional nonsteady flow of incompressible viscous fluid in the vicinity of a forward stagnation point are reduced to three ordinary differential equations for a potential flow field chosen to vary inversely as a linear function of time. The resulting ordinary differential equations contain two parameters C and D, the former characterizes the type of curvature of the surface around the stagnation point and the latter the degree of acceleration or deceleration of the potential flow. The simple stagnation-point problems which have been studied previously are obtainable as special cases of the present analysis by assigning particular values to C and D. Exact solutions have been computed numerically for the velocity field and the pressure distribution in the boundary-layer flow around the stagnation point of a three-dimensional blunt body for the values of the parameter C from 0–1.

Motivated by the Hamilton–Jacobi approach of constrained systems, we analyze the classical structure of a four-dimensional superstring. The equations of motion for a singular system are obtained as total differential equations in many variables. The path integral quantization based on Hamilton–Jacobi approach is applied to quantize the system, and the integration is taken over the canonical phase space coordinates.

In this article, we deal with prescribed exponential surface temperature and prescribed exponential heat flux due to micropolar fluids flow on a Riga plate. The flow is induced through an exponentially stretching surface within the time-dependent thermal conductivity. Analysis is performed inside the heat transfer. In our study, two cases are discussed here, namely prescribed exponential order surface temperature (PEST) and prescribed exponential order heat flux (PEHF). The governing systems of the nonlinear partial differential equations are converted into nonlinear ordinary differential equations using appropriate similarity transformations and boundary layer approach. The reduced systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically with the help of bvp4c. The significant results are shown in tables and graphs. The variation due to modified Hartman number M is observed in θ (PEST) and [Formula: see text] (PEHF). θ and [Formula: see text] are also reduced for higher values of the radiation parameter Tr. Obtained results are compared with results from the literature.

We propose He’s homotopy perturbation method (HPM) to solve stiff systems of ordinary differential equations. This method is very simple to be implemented. HPM is employed to compute an approximation or analytical solution of the stiff systems of linear and nonlinear ordinary differential equations.
