In this study, static deflection and Instability of double-clamped nanobeams actuated by electrostatic field and intermolecular force, are investigated. The model accounts for the electric force nonlinearity of the excitation and for the fringing field effect. Effects of mid-plane stretching and axial loading are considered. Galerkin’s decomposition method is utilized to convert the nonlinear differential equation of motion to a nonlinear algebraic equation which is solved using the homotopy perturbation method. The effect of the design parameters such as axial load and mid-plane stretching on the static responses and pull-in instability is discussed. Results are in good agreement with presented in the literature.

We investigate through this research the numerical inversion technique for the Laplace transforms cooperated by the integration Boubaker polynomials operational matrix. The efficiency of the presented approach is demonstrated by solving some differential equations. Also, this technique is combined with the standard Laplace Homotopy Perturbation Method. The numerical results highlight that there is a very good agreement between the estimated solutions with exact solutions.

This paper applies the homotopy perturbation method to the simulation of the static response of nano-switches to electrostatic actuation and intermolecular surface forces. The model accounts for the electric force nonlinearity of the excitation and for the fringing field effect. Using a mode approximation in the Galerkin projection method, the nonlinear boundary value differential equation describing the statical behavior of nano-switch is reduced to a nonlinear algebraic equation which is solved using the homotopy perturbation method. The number of included terms in the perturbation expansion for achieving a reasonable response has been investigated. Three cases have been specifically studied. These cases correspond to when the effective external force is the electrostatic force, the combined electrostatic and Casimir force and the combined electrostatic and van der Waals force. In all three cases the pull-in characteristics has been investigated thoroughly. Results have been compared with numerical results and also analytical results available in the literature. It was found that HPM modifies the overestimation of N/MEMS instability limits reported in the literature and can be used as an effective and accurate design tool in the analysis of N/MEMS.

A simple modification of the homotopy perturbation method is proposed for the solution of the Blasius equation with two different boundary conditions. Padé approximate is used to deal with the boundary condition at infinity. The results obtained from the analytical method are compared to Howarth’s numerical solution and fifth order Runge-Kutta Fehlberg method indicating a very good agreement. The proposed method is a simple and reliable modification of homotopy perturbation method, which does not require the existence of a small parameter, linearization of the equation, or computation of Adomian’s polynomials.

Nonlinear phenomena have important effects on applied mathematics, physics, and issues related to engineering. Most physical phenomena are modeled according to partial differential equations. It is difficult for nonlinear models to obtain the closed form of the solution, and in many cases, only an approximation of the real solution can be obtained. The perturbation method is a wave equation solution using HPM compared with the Fourier series method, and both methods results are good agreement. The percentage of error of ux,t with α=1 and 0.33, t =0.1 sec, between the present research and Yong-Ju Yang study for x≥0.6 is less than 10. Also, the % error for x≥0.5 in α=1 and 0.33, t =0.3 sec, is less than 5, whereas for α=1 and 0.33, t =0.8 and 0.7 sec, the % error for x≥0.4 is less than 8.

In this research work, the well-known Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is used to find the approximate solutions of the nonlinear Liénard differential equation (LDE) using different types of boundary conditions. In order to find the accuracy of the approximate solution, one term, two terms and three terms HPM approximations are considered. This idea is actually based on the idea of Taylor’s series polynomials. It is found that solution converges to the actual solution with the increase of the terms in the guess solution. Moreover, in each of the new HPM solution, previously obtained solutions are added to it in order to find the exactness of HPM solutions. However, the nature of the solution seems to be complicated. In addition, comparisons are made with the previously published results and a good agreement is observed. GANIT J. Bangladesh Math. Soc.Vol. 39 (2019) 87-100

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to find the solution of classical nonlinear shallow-water wave (SWW) equations in particular to the tsunami wave propagation in crisp and interval environment. Design/methodology/approach Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) has been used for handling crisp and uncertain differential equations governing SWW equations. Findings The wave height and depth-averaged velocity of a tsunami wave in crisp and interval cases have been obtained. Originality/value Present results by HPM are compared with the existing solution (in crisp case), and they are found to be in good agreement. Also, the residual error of the solutions is found for the convergence conformation and reliability of the present results.

In this paper, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) proposed by Liao is adopted for solving Davey–Stewartson (DS) equations which arise as higher dimensional generalizations of the nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. The results obtained by HAM have been compared with the exact solutions and homotopy perturbation method (HPM) to show the accuracy of the method. Comparisons indicate that there is a very good agreement between the HAM solutions and the exact solutions in terms of accuracy.

In this paper, primary resonance of a double-clamped microbeam has been investigated. The Microbeam is predeformed by a DC electrostatic force and then driven to vibrate by an AC harmonic electrostatic force. Effects of midplane stretching, axial loads and damping are considered in modeling. Galerkin’s approximation is utilized to convert the nonlinear partial differential equation of motion to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation. Afterward, a combination of homotopy perturbation method and the method of multiple scales are utilized to find analytic solutions to the steady-state motion of the microbeam, far from pull-in. The effects of different design parameters on dynamic behavior are discussed. The results obtained by the presented method are validated by comparing with literature.
