Abstract A governing partial differential equation that describes an accreting nanochain containing an attachment of infinite atoms was considered in this paper. We transformed the space variable u(t,r) → v(τ,x) (for a governing PDE formulated in previous research studies) and introduced a function of linear growth. The boundary conditions were also transformed into the new variables, the left end of the accreting chain was free u(t, r=0)=0 while the right end was fixed. The method of lines was also employed to numerically analyze the governing partial differential equation. We detailed the differential transformation for the change of variables used in obtaining the transformed partial differential equation. We also considered what happens with the introduction of the viscous damping term, (δ). The governing partial differential equation was formulated. Numerical simulations for both cases, was then carried out.

The temperature profile for fins with temperature-dependent thermal conductivity and heat transfer coefficients will be considered. Assuming such forms for these coefficients leads to a highly nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) which cannot easily be solved analytically. We establish a numerical balance rule which can assist in getting a well-balanced numerical scheme. When coupled with the zero-flux condition, this scheme can be used to solve this nonlinear partial differential equation (PDE) modelling the temperature distribution in a one-dimensional longitudinal triangular fin without requiring any additional assumptions or simplifications of the fin profile.

Abstract This paper presents an analytic solution to a problem of the transient flow of gas within a one-dimensional semi-infinite porous medium. A perturbation method, carried out to include terms of the second order, is employed to obtain a solution of the nonlinear partial differential equation describing the flow of gas. The zero-order term of the solution represents the solution of the linearized partial differential equation of gas flow in porous media given by Green and Wilts (1).

The Hamilton-Jacobi partial differential equation is established for continuum systems; to do this a new concept in material distributions is introduced. The Lagrangian and Hamiltonian are developed, so that the Hamilton-Jacobi equation can be formulated and the principal function defined. Finally the principal function is constructed for the dynamics of a one-dimensional linear elastic bar; the solution for its’ vibrations is then established following the differentiation of the principal function.

We use several methods to study the nonlinear modes of one-dimensional continuous systems with cubic inertia and geometric nonlinearities. Invariant manifold and perturbation methods applied to the discretized system and the method of multiple scales applied to the partial-differential equation and boundary conditions are discussed and their equivalence is demonstrated. The method of multiple scales is then applied directly to the partial-differential equation and boundary conditions governing several nonlinear beam problems.

For one-dimensional (1D) nonlinear consolidation, the governing partial differential equation is nonlinear. This paper develops the finite analytic method (FAM) to simulate 1D nonlinear consolidation under different time-dependent loading and initial conditions. To achieve this, the assumption of constant initial effective stress is not considered and the governing partial differential equation is transformed into the diffusion equation. Then, the finite analytic implicit scheme is established. The convergence and stability of finite analytic numerical scheme are proven by a rigorous mathematical analysis. In addition, the paper obtains three corrected semianalytical solutions undergoing suddenly imposed constant loading, single ramp loading, and trapezoidal cyclic loading, respectively. Comparisons of the results of FAM with the three semianalytical solutions and the result of FDM, respectively, show that the FAM can obtain stable and accurate numerical solutions and ensure the convergence of spatial discretization for 1D nonlinear consolidation.
