In this paper, a planar biaxial vehicle model with four degrees of freedom is presented based on spring-damping-mass system theory. By using Runge-Kutta method, the dynamic characteristics of a simply support bridge acting by moving vehicle with uniform variable speed are analyzed, and the effects of inertia force, relative acceleration and initial velocity are taken into consideration in the present research. The time-deflection response curves of the bridge under the variation of initial speed and acceleration are analyzed. Some valuable results are found which can provide a theoretical direction for the consideration of dynamical characteristics in design of bridge system.

In this paper, an investigation has been made to validate the variational approach to obtain soliton solutions of the Klein-Gordon-Zakharov (KGZ) equations. It is evident that to resolve the non-linear partial differential equations are quite complex and difficult. The presented approach is capable of achieving the condition for continuation of the solitary solution of KGZ equation as well as the initial solutions selected in soliton form including various unknown parameters can be resolute in the solution course of action. The procedure of attaining the solution reveals that the scheme is simple and straightforward.

In this paper, we implement the fractional complex transform method to convert the nonlinear fractional Klein-Gordon equation (FKGE) to an ordinary differential equation. We use the variational iteration method (VIM) to solve the resulting ODE. The fractional derivatives are presented in terms of the Caputo sense. Some numerical examples are presented to validate the proposed techniques. Finally, a comparison with the numerical solution using Runge-Kutta of order four is given.

A theoretically investigation has been performed to study the effects of thermal radiation and chemical reaction on MHD velocity slip boundary layer flow and melting heat transfer of nanofluid induced by a nonlinear stretching sheet. The Brownian motion and thermophoresis effects are incorporated in the present nanofluid model. A set of proper similarity variables is used to reduce the governing equations into a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations. An efficient numerical method like Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg-45 order is used to solve the resultant equations for velocity, temperature and volume fraction of the nanoparticle. The effects of different flow parameters on flow fields are elucidated through graphs and tables. The present results have been compared with existing one for some limiting case and found excellent validation.

This paper emphasizes on finding the solution for a foam drainageequation using the technique of modified homotopy analysis transform method (MHATM). MHATM is a new amalgamation of the homotopy analysis method and Laplace transform method with homotopy polynomial. Comparisons are made between the results of the proposed method for different values of fractional derivative α and exact solutions. Then, we analyze the results by numerical simulations, which demonstrate the simplicity and effectiveness of the present method.

The significance of Soret, Hall and Ion-slip effects on mixed convection flow of an electrically conducting Casson fluid in a vertical channel in the presence of viscous dissipation is analyzed. The system of flow governing equations are converted into the system of non-dimensional equations using appropriate non-dimensional transformations and hence solved analytically by homotopy analysis method. A quantitative comparison is made between homotopy analysis method and Adomian decomposition method and the results are found to be in good agreement. The dimensionless velocity, temperature and species concentration profiles are illustrated graphically and quantitatively with special focus on the Casson fluid, Soret, viscous dissipation, Hall and Ion-slip parameters.

Most of the Real systems shows chaotic behavior when they approach complex states. Especially in physical and chemical systems these behaviors define the character of the system. The control of these chaotic behaviors is of very high practical importance and hence mathematical models of these chaotic systems proves vital in deciding the control structures. One such model of chemical reactors is the Willamowski–Rössler system (WR). In this paper we derive a fractional order sliding mode control scheme where the states of the WR system are driven back to the defined equilibrium points. We have also synchronized master and slave fractional order WR system using sliding mode control. As the entire control law is defined in fractional order, we derived a new methodology to prove the stability of the controller. The numerical simulation and analysis are achieved with LabVIEW.

In this article, the active control method and the backstepping method are used during the synchronization of fractional order chaotic systems. The salient feature of the article is the analysis of time of synchronization between fractional order Chen and Qi systems using both the methods. Numerical simulation and graphical results clearly exhibit that backstepping approach is better than active control method for synchronization of the considered pair of systems, as it takes less time to synchronize while using the first one compare to second one.

The significance of nonlinear temperaturedependent density relation and convective boundary condition on natural convection flow of an incompressible micropolar fluid with homogeneous-heterogeneous reactions is analyzed. In spite of the complicated nonlinear structure of the present setup and to allow all the essential features, the representation of similarity transformations for the system of non-dimensional fluid flow equations is attained through Lie group transformations and hence the governing similarity equations are worked out by a numerical approach known as spectral quasi-linearization method. It is noticed that in the presence of the nonlinear convection parameter enhance the velocity, species concentration, heat transfer rate, skin friction, but decreases the temperature and wall couple stress.

The manuscript shows how the few, scattered, latest measurements of ocean pH lacking a proper spatial and time coverage do not permit a meaningful computation of global trends, as the ocean pH is strongly variable in latitude, longitude and depth and very likely is subject to the multi-decadal oscillations that have been identified in the atmospheric and ocean systems. The proposed mathematical model is based on the assumption that the monthly averaged ocean pH may be described by the superposition of a linear trend and inter-annual, decadal and multi-decadal oscillations, with linear and sinusoidal regression coefficients requiring data that are presently unavailable.
