One of them is called the first integral method, which is based on the ring theory of commutative algebra. In this paper, exact travelling wave solutions of the Non-Boussinesq wavepacket model and the (2 + 1)-dimensional Zoomeron equation are studied by using the first integral method. From the solving process and results, the first integral method has the characteristics of simplicity, directness and effectiveness about solving the exact travelling wave solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations. In other words, tedious calculations can be avoided by Maple software;the solutions of more accurate and richer travelling wave solutions are obtained. Therefore, this method is an effective method for solving exact solutions of nonlinear partial differential equations.展开更多

The technique described in this work is suitable for modeling initial-boundary value problems governed by the wave equation on a rectangular domain with Dirichlet boundary conditions and an initial condition that is equal on the boundary to the boundary conditions. The new numerical scheme is based on the standard approach of decomposing the global initial-boundary value problem into a steady-state component and a time-dependent component. The steady-state component is governed by the Laplace PDE and is modeled with the CVBEM. The time-dependent component is governed by the wave PDE and is modeled using a generalized Fourier series. The approximate global solution is the sum of the CVBEM and generalized Fourier series approximations. The boundary conditions of the steady-state component are specified as the boundary conditions from the global BVP. The boundary conditions of the time-dependent component are specified to be identically zero. The initial condition of the time-dependent component is calculated as the difference between the global initial condition and the CVBEM approximation of the steady-state solution. Additionally, the generalized Fourier series approximation of the time-dependent component is fitted so as to approximately satisfy the derivative of the initial condition. It is shown that the strong formulation of the wave PDE is satisfied by the superposed approximate solutions of the time-dependent and steady-state components.展开更多

It helps us understand regular patterns in seismic wave propagation, analyze seismic attributes, and interpret seismic data. However, because of its discretization, the FD method is only stable under certain conditions. The Arbitrary Difference Precise Integration (ADPI) method is based on the FD method and adopts an integration scheme in the time domain and an arbitrary difference scheme in the space domain. Therefore, the ADPI method is a semi-analytical method. In this paper, we deduce the formula for the ADPI method based on the 3D elastic equation and improve its stability. In forward modeling cases, the ADPI method was implemented in 2D and 3D elastic wave equation forward modeling. Results show that the travel time of the reflected seismic wave is accurate. Compared with the acoustic wave field, the elastic wave field contains more wave types, including PS- and PP- reflected waves, transmitted waves, and diffracted waves, which is important to interpretation of seismic data. The method can be easily applied to elastic wave equation numerical simulations for eoloical models.展开更多

A generalized method is also derived where the previous schemes can be obtained by some special values of l. The proposed methods will produced a coupled nonlinear tridiagonal system which can be solved by fixed point method. The exact solutions and the conserved quantities for two different tests are used to display the robustness of the proposed schemes.展开更多

The Fourier transform is applied and a mixedboundary value problem is formulated. Then a set of dual integralequations is solved using the Schmidt method instead of the first orthe second integral equation method. A one-dimensional non-localkernel is used instead of a two-di- mensional one for the anti-planedynamic problem to obtain the stress occurring at the crack tips.Contrary to the classical elasticity solution, it is found that nostress singularity is present at the crack tip. The non-local dynamicelastic solutions yield a finite hoop stress at the crack tip, thusallowing for a fracture criterion based on the maximum dynamic stresshypothesis. The finite hoop stress at the crack tip depends on thecrack length, the width of the strip and the lattice parameters.展开更多
