The dynamic behaviour of an Euler–Bernoulli beam resting on the fractionally damped viscoelastic foundation subjected to a moving point load is investigated. The fractional-order derivative-based Kelvin–Voigt model describes the rheological properties of the viscoelastic foundation. The Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative model is applied for a fractional derivative order. The modal superposition method and Triangular strip matrix approach are applied to solve the fractional differential equation of motion. The dependence of the modal convergence on the system parameters is studied. The influences of (a) the fractional order of derivative, (b) the speed of the moving point load and (c) the foundation parameters on the dynamic response of the system are studied and conclusions are drawn. The damping of the beam-foundation system increases with increasing the order of derivative, leading to a decrease in the dynamic amplification factor. The results are compared with those using the classical integer-order derivative-based foundation model. The classical foundation model over-predicts the damping and under-predicts the dynamic deflections and stresses. The results of the classical (integer-order) foundation model are verified with literature.

In this paper, dynamic response analysis of a forced fractional viscoelastic beam under moving external load is studied. The beauty of this study is that the effect of values of fractional order, the effect of internal damping, and the effect of intensity value of the moving force load on the dynamic response of the beam are analyzed. Constitutive equations for fractional order viscoelastic beam are constructed in the manner of Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. Solution of the fractional beam system is obtained by using Bernoulli collocation method. Obtained results are presented in the tables and graphical forms for two different beam systems, which are polybutadiene beam and butyl B252 beam.

Abstract This paper aims to investigate the class of fifth-order Korteweg–de Vries equations by devising suitable novel hyperbolic and exponential ansatze. The class under consideration is endowed with a time-fractional order derivative defined in the conformable fractional derivative sense. We realize various solitons and solutions of these equations. The fractional behavior of the solutions is studied comprehensively by using 2D and 3D graphs. The results demonstrate that the methods mentioned here are more effective in solving problems in mathematical physics and other branches of science.

Damage detection and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) for bridges employing bridge-vehicle interaction has created considerable interest in recent times. In this regard, a significant amount of work is present on the bridge-vehicle interaction models and on damage models. Surface roughness on bridges is typically used for detailing models and analyses are present relating surface roughness to the dynamic amplification of response of the bridge, the vehicle or to the ride quality. This paper presents the potential of using surface roughness for damage detection of bridge structures through bridge-vehicle interaction. The concept is introduced by considering a single point observation of the interaction of an Euler-Bernoulli beam with a breathing crack traversed by a point load. The breathing crack is treated as a nonlinear system with bilinear stiffness characteristics related to the opening and closing of crack. A uniform degradation of flexural rigidity of an Euler-Bernoulli beam traversed by a point load is also considered in this regard. The surface roughness of the beam is essentially a spatial representation of some spectral definition and is treated as a broadband white noise in this paper. The mean removed residuals of beam response are analyzed to estimate damage extent. Uniform velocity and acceleration conditions of the traversing load are investigated for the appropriateness of use. The detection and calibration of damage is investigated through cumulant based statistical parameters computed on stochastic, normalized responses of the damaged beam due to passages of the load. Possibilities of damage detection and calibration under benchmarked and non-benchmarked cases are discussed. Practicalities behind implementing this concept are also considered.

This paper compares the performance of Legendre wavelets (LWs) with integer and noninteger orders for solving fractional nonlinear Fredholm integro-differential equations (FNFIDEs). The generalized fractional-order Legendre wavelets (FLWs) are formulated and the operational matrix of fractional derivative in the Caputo sense is obtained. Based on the FLWs, the operational matrix and the Tau method an efficient algorithm is developed for FNFIDEs. The FLWs basis leads to more efficient and accurate solutions of the FNFIDE than the integer-order Legendre wavelets. Numerical examples confirm the superior accuracy of the proposed method.

The fractional derivative Winkler viscoelastic foundation model is established by introducing the concept of fractional derivative. The control equations of free vibration of elastic Timoshenko beam on fractional derivative Winkler viscoelastic foundation are also built by considering the shear deformation and rotary inertia, and the control equations of elastic Timoshenko beam are decoupled by using the deformation function and considering the properties of fractional derivative, and the expressions of deflection and section corner of elastic Timoshenko beam on fractional derivative Winkler viscoelastic foundation are obtained. The influences of fractional derivative order and shear shape factor on the free vibration of elastic Timoshenko beam are discussed by numerical example.

We propose a fractional model for computer virus propagation. The model includes the interaction between computers and removable devices. We simulate numerically the model for distinct values of the order of the fractional derivative and for two sets of initial conditions adopted in the literature. We conclude that fractional order systems reveal richer dynamics than the classical integer order counterpart. Therefore, fractional dynamics leads to time responses with super-fast transients and super-slow evolutions towards the steady-state, effects not easily captured by the integer order models.
