Integral Operators in b-Metric and Generalized b-Metric Spaces and Boundary Value Problems

We study fixed-point theorems of contractive mappings in b-metric space, cone b-metric space, and the newly introduced extended b-metric space. To generalize an existence and uniqueness result for the so-called Φs functions in the b-metric space to the extended b-metric space and the cone b-metric space, we introduce the class of ΦM functions and apply the Hölder continuous condition in the extended b-metric space. The obtained results are applied to prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions and positive solutions for nonlinear integral equations and fractional boundary value problems. Examples and numerical simulation are given to illustrate the applications.

Coupled thermo-elastic dynamics of rotating pre-twisted blades exposed to thermal shock including nonlinear rotational effects

Rotating blades operating under high-temperature experience intense mechanical and thermal stresses induced by centrifugal forces and thermal shock. In this research, to address this critical yet understudied topic, coupled thermo-elastic dynamics of rotating blades incorporating precise rotational effects is investigated. A comprehensive modeling approach, characterizing blade geometry in terms of pre-twist and pre-set angles is employed based on the theory of surfaces. Thermal strain–displacement field is defined based on third-order shear deformation theory in the model integrated with a third-order expansion of temperature change distribution within the blade. Rotational factors related to Coriolis, centrifugal stiffening, and rotational softening effects are considered. In the case of stiffening effects, two different modeling approaches including direct integration of centrifugal forces (DICFs), and pre-stressed dynamics about steady-state equilibrium deformations (SSEDs) are employed. When incorporating large-amplitude SSEDs in the latter, nonlinear rotational effects are incorporated into the model. To overcome the complexity arising from coupled thermo-elasticity, and rotational motion, the spectral Chebyshev technique is applied to the derived integral boundary value problems and coupled energy equations. Finally, natural frequencies, and thermal and centrifugal deformations are investigated comprehensively by including DICFs and pre-stressed dynamics. Results show that thermo-elastic dynamics of the system is highly affected by the modeling approaches used for centrifugal stiffening effects.

Existence of solutions for a fractional Riemann–Stieltjes integral boundary value problem

A multimesh finite element method for integral nonlocal elasticity using mesh-decoupling technique

This study presents a generalized multimesh nonlocal finite element method (M2-FEM) that addresses several long-standing challenges in the numerical simulation of Eringen’s integral elasticity theories, often used to model nonlocal effects. The major challenges in the numerical simulation of integral boundary value problems are primarily rooted in the coupling of the spatial discretization of the global (parent) and integral (child) domains, which severely restricts both the applicability and the computational efficiency of existing algorithms by imposing an implicit trade-off between the accuracy of the child domain and the resources required by the overall parent domain. One of the defining contributions of this study consists in the development of a mesh-decoupling technique that generates isolated sets of meshes such that the parent and child domains can be discretized and approximated independently. This mesh-decoupling has multi-fold advantages on the simulation of integral theories such that, when compared to existing state-of-the-art techniques, the proposed algorithm achieves a greater ability to adopt generalized integral kernel functions, the ability to handle non-regular (non-rectangular) domains via unstructured meshing, and simultaneously better numerical accuracy and efficiency (hence allowing greater flexibility in both mesh size and computational cost trade-off decisions). Both benchmark studies and several case studies are conducted to assess the effectiveness of M2-FEM. Simulation results confirm that M2-FEM can accurately simulate integral nonlocal problems and demonstrate its multi-fold computational advantages over existing mesh-coupling-based nonlocal finite element methods. Overall, the proposed M2-FEM algorithm is very general and it can be applied to a variety of integral theories, even beyond nonlocal elasticity.

An optimal control problem for the systems with integral boundary conditions

In this paper, we consider an optimal control problem with a «pure», integral boundary condition. The Green’s function is constructed. Using contracting Banach mappings, a sufficient condition for the existence and uniqueness of a solution to one class of integral boundary value problems for fixed admissible controls is established. Using the functional increment method, the Pontryagin‘s maximum principle is proved. The first and second variations of the functional are calculated. Further, various necessary conditions for optimality of the second order are obtained by using variations of controls.

$\alpha$-$(h,e)$-convex operators and applications for Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equations

In this paper, we consider a class of $\alpha$-$(h,e)$-convex operators defined in set $P_{h,e}$ and applications with $\alpha> 1$. Without assuming the operator to be completely continuous or compact, by employing cone theory and monotone iterative technique, we not only obtain the existence and uniqueness of fixed point of $\alpha$-$(h,e)$-convex operators, but also construct two monotone iterative sequences to approximate the unique fixed point. At last, we investigate the existence-uniqueness of a nontrivial solution for Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equations integral boundary value problems by employing $\alpha$-$(h,e)$-convex operators fixed point theorem.

A weak-form spectral Chebyshev technique for nonlinear vibrations of rotating functionally graded beams

This study presents the spectral Chebyshev technique (SCT) for nonlinear vibrations of rotating beams based on a weak formulation. In addition to providing a fast-converging and precise solution for linear vibrations of structures with complex geometry, material, and physics, this method is further advanced to be able to analyze the nonlinear vibration behavior of continuous systems. Rotational motion and material gradation further complicate this nonlinear behavior. Accordingly, the beam is considered to be axially functionally graded (FG) and a model representing the forced nonlinear vibrations of the beam about steady-state equilibrium deformations (SSEDs) is developed. The model includes Coriolis, centrifugal softening, and nonlinear stiffening effects caused by coupling of the axial, chordwise, and flapwise motions, and large amplitude deformations. The integral boundary value problem for the rotating structure is discretized using the SCT and element-wise multiplication definition. As a result, mass, damping, and stiffness matrices, as well as internal nonlinear forcing functions and external forcing vectors, are obtained for a given rotating beam. This formulation provides a general representation of nonlinear strain relations in matrix form and circumvents the complexity rising from obtaining and solving the partial differential equations directly. In addition, nonlinear forcing functions are obtained in matrix form which facilitates the application of harmonic balance method easier to obtain the forced nonlinear response.
