Some New Analytical Techniques for Duffing Oscillator with Very Strong Nonlinearity
The current paper focuses on some analytical techniques to solve the non-linear Duffing oscillator with large nonlinearity. Four different methods have been applied for solution of the equation of motion; the variational iteration method, He’s parameter expanding method, parameterized perturbation method, and the homotopy perturbation method. The results reveal that approxim...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Physics-Based Method for the Solution of One-Dimensional Wave Motion Problems
In this paper, an adaptive physics-based method is developed for solving wave motion problems in one dimension (i.e., wave propagation in strings, rods and beams). The solution of the problem includes two main parts. In the first part, after discretization of the domain, a physics-based method is developed considering the conservation of mass and the balance of momentum. In the second part, ada...
متن کاملIntroducing Ill-Structured Problems in Introductory Physics Recitations
One important aspect of physics instruction is helping students develop better problem solving expertise. Besides enhancing the content knowledge, problems help students develop different cognitive abilities and skills. This paper focuses on ill-structured problems. These problems are different from traditional “end of chapter” well-structured problems. They do not have one right answer and thu...
متن کاملA numerical Algorithm Based on Chebyshev Polynomials for Solving some Inverse Source Problems
In this paper, two inverse problems of determining an unknown source term in a parabolic equation are considered. First, the unknown source term is estimated in the form of a combination of Chebyshev functions. Then, a numerical algorithm based on Chebyshev polynomials is presented for obtaining the solution of the problem. For solving the problem, the operational matrices of int...
متن کاملMentor modeling: the internalization of modeled professional thinking in an epistemic game
Players of epistemic games – computer games that simulate professional practica – have been shown to develop epistemic frames: a profession’s particular way of seeing and solving problems. This study examined the interactions between players and mentors in one epistemic game, Urban Science. Using a new method called epistemic network analysis, we explored how players develop epistemic frames th...
