in the present paper, an exact solution for transient response of an infinitely long functionally graded thick-walled cylinder subjected to dynamic pressures at the boundary surfaces is presented for arbitrary initial conditions. the cylinder is assumed to have a plane-strain condition and the dynamic pressures are assumed to be imposed uniformly and axisymmetrically on the boundary surfaces. m...

The reason why we consider this type of equation will be explained in the end of this section. As mentioned in Part I, we know that the equation (1.1) has a unique formal power series solution in O[R][[y]]2 for some R > 0. Here we say that a formal power series u(x, y) belongs to O[R][[y]]2 if u(x, y) can be written as u(x, y) = ∑∞ n=0 un(x)y , where all un(x) are holomorphic on {x ∈ C; |x| ≤ R...

The theory of formal power series and derivation is developed from the point of view of the power matrix. A Loewner equation for formal power series is introduced. We then show that the matrix exponential is surjective onto the group of power matrices, and the coefficients are entire functions of finitely many coefficients of the infinitesimal generator. Furthermore coefficients of the solution...

Modeling of large amplitude of structures such as slender, flexible cantilever beam and fluid-structure resting on nonlinear elastic foundations or subjected to stretching effects often lead to strongly nonlinear models of Duffing equations which are not amendable to exact analytical methods. In this work, explicit analytical solutions to the large amplitude nonlinear oscillation systems of cub...

A method is presented, with standard examples, based on an elementary complex integral expression, for developing, in particular, series solutions for second-order linear homogeneous ordinary differential equations. Straightforward to apply, the method reduces the task of finding a series solution to the solution, instead, of a system of simple equations in a single variable. The method elimina...

In this paper, we present a new method for solving Reproducing Kernel Space (RKS) theory, and iterative algorithm for solving Generalized Burgers Equation (GBE) is presented. The analytical solution is shown in a series in a RKS, and the approximate solution u(x,t) is constructed by truncating the series. The convergence of u(x,t) to the analytical solution is also proved.
