Among the various blast load equations, the Kingery-Bulmash equation is applicable to both a free-air burst and a surface burst that enables calculations of the parameters of a pressure-time history curve. On the other hand, this equation is quite complicated. This paper proposes a modified equation that may replace the conventional Kingery-Bulmash equation. The proposed modified equation, whic...

In this paper, operational matrices of Riemann-Liouville fractional integration and Caputo fractional differentiation for shifted Jacobi polynomials are considered. Using the given initial conditions, we transform the fractional differential equation (FDE) into a modified fractional differential equation with zero initial conditions. Next, all the existing functions in modified differential equ...

Talk Abstract We present an efficient integral equation method approach to solve the forced heat equation, ut(x) − ∆u(x) = F (x, u, t), in a two dimensional, multiply connected domain, with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We first discretize in time, which is known as Rothe’s method, resulting in a non-homogeneous modified Helmholtz equation that is solved at each time step. We formulate the sol...
