Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Partial differential equations are widely used for modelling in physics, mechanics, chemistry and other natural sciences. Studying solution properties using partial differential equations is very useful for understanding natural phenomena. In this Special Issue, we aim to present the latest research on the solution theory and applications of the partial differential equations. In particularly, we are also interested in articles on the numerical approximation of partial differential equations (finite difference methods, finite element methods, spectral methods and other numerical methods are welcome) and inverse problems of partial differential equations, including fractional partial differential equations (time fractional, space fractional and space–time fractional PDEs are all welcome).

In comparison to fractional-order differential equations, integer-order differential equations generally fail to properly explain a variety of phenomena in numerous branches of science and engineering. This article implements efficient analytical techniques within the Caputo operator to investigate the solutions of some fractional partial differential equations. The Adomian decomposition method, homotopy perturbation method, and Elzaki transformation are used to calculate the results for the specified issues. In the current procedures, we first used the Elzaki transform to simplify the problems and then applied the decomposition and perturbation methods to obtain comprehensive results for the problems. For each targeted problem, the generalized schemes of the suggested methods are derived under the influence of each fractional derivative operator. The current approaches give a series-form solution with easily computable components and a higher rate of convergence to the precise solution of the targeted problems. It is observed that the derived solutions have a strong connection to the actual solutions of each problem as the number of terms in the series solution of the problems increases. Graphs in two and three dimensions are used to plot the solution of the proposed fractional models. The methods used currently are simple and efficient for dealing with fractional-order problems. The primary benefit of the suggested methods is less computational time. The results of the current study will be regarded as a helpful tool for dealing with the solution of fractional partial differential equations. Full article

Negative Poisson’s ratio materials are increasingly used in the design of vibration isolation bases due to their unique tensile properties. In this paper, based on the expansion feature of the negative Poisson’s ratio re-entrant structure, the influence of the size of the re-entrant structure within a single structure was analyzed, and a honeycomb base was designed with a negative Poisson’s ratio re-entrant structure. A new modeling method for the honeycomb base is proposed. In the modeling process, the honeycomb base was analyzed according to its symmetry using the Lagrange equation for base modeling and the finite element consistent mass matrix was introduced to simplify the calculation. The vibration isolation performance of the honeycomb base was evaluated by vibration level difference. COMSOL software was used to simulate and analyze the cellular base in order to verify the correctness of the results obtained from numerical modeling. In conclusion, the honeycomb base had a vibration isolation effect on external excitation in the vertical direction of the base. Furthermore, the vibration isolation performance of the base was greatly related to the wall thickness and Poisson’s ratio of the re-entrant structure. Full article
