Fractional calculus view of complexity tomorrow's science

Bruce J. West

Book Description

This book is not a text devoted to a pedagogical presentation of a specialized topic nor is it a monograph focused on the author's area of research. It accomplishes both these things while providing a rationale for why the reader ought to be interested in learning about fractional calculus. This book is for researchers who has heard about many of these scientifically exotic activities, but could not see how they fit into their own scientific interests, or how they could be made compatible with the way they understand science. It is also for beginners who have not yet decided where their scientific talents could be most productively applied. The book provides insight into the long-term direction of science and show how to develop the skills necessary to successfully do research in the twenty-first century.

Fractional calculus with applications in mechanics :wave propagation, impact and variational principles

Pilipovic, Stevan,Stankovic, Bogoljub,Zorica, Dusan,Atanackovic

Book Description

The books Fractional Calculus with Applications in Mechanics: Vibrations and Diffusion Processes and Fractional Calculus with Applications in Mechanics: Wave Propagation, Impact and Variational Principles contain various applications of fractional calculus to the fields of classical mechanics. Namely, the books study problems in fields such as viscoelasticity of fractional order, lateral vibrations of a rod of fractional order type, lateral vibrations of a rod positioned on fractional order viscoelastic foundations, diffusion-wave phenomena, heat conduction, wave propagation, forced oscillations of a body attached to a rod, impact and variational principles of a Hamiltonian type. The books will be useful for graduate students in mechanics and applied mathematics, as well as for researchers in these fields. Part 1 of this book presents an introduction to fractional calculus. Chapter 1 briefly gives definitions and notions that are needed later in the book and Chapter 2 presents definitions and some of the properties of fractional integrals and derivatives. Part 2 is the central part of the book. Chapter 3 presents the analysis of waves in fractional viscoelastic materials in infinite and finite spatial domains. In Chapter 4, the problem of oscillations of a translatory moving rigid body, attached to a heavy, or light viscoelastic rod of fractional order type, is studied in detail. In Chapter 5, the authors analyze a specific engineering problem of the impact of a viscoelastic rod against a rigid wall. Finally, in Chapter 6, some results for the optimization of a functional containing fractional derivatives of constant and variable order are presented.

3D Memory Constitutive Equations for Plastic Media

Caputo, Michele; Fabrizio, Mauro

Publication information: JOURNAL OF ENGINEERING MECHANICS Volume: 143 Issue: 5 Article Number: D4016008 Published: MAY 2017

http://ascelibrary.org/doi/abs/10.1061/%28ASCE%29EM.1943-7889.0001128

Abstract

In this paper, the authors begin by observing that using the new definition of fractional derivative with an exponential kernel makes it is possible to obtain again some generalized constitutive equation of continuum mechanics as a Kelvin-Voight Maxwell standard linear solid. However, this equivalence holds only in a space of smooth solutions. In the second part, two different fractional derivatives to describe the behavior of some types of plastic materials are considered. Before a kernel with a negative power of the variable and then a kernel with a negative exponential are assumed. The problems related with 1D1D (one dimensional) stress and a 1D1D strain respectively are applied to the 3D3D (three dimensional) body as part of a discussion of the Poisson phenomenon.

Fractional biharmonic operator equation model for arbitrary frequency-dependent scattering attenuation in acoustic wave propagation

Chen, Wen; Fang, Jun; Pang, Guofei; et al.

Publication information: JOURNAL OF THE ACOUSTICAL SOCIETY OF AMERICA Volume: 141 Issue: 1 Pages: 244-253 Published: JAN 2017

http://asa.scitation.org/doi/pdf/10.1121/1.4973865

Abstract

This paper proposes a fractional biharmonic operator equation model in the time-space domain to describe scattering attenuation of acoustic waves in heterogeneous media. Compared with the existing models, the proposed fractional model is able to describe arbitrary frequency-dependent scattering attenuation, which typically obeys an empirical power law with an exponent ranging from 0 to 4. In stark contrast to an extensive and rapidly increasing application of the fractional derivative models for wave absorption attenuation in the literature, little has been reported on frequency-dependent scattering attenuation. This is largely because the order of the fractional Laplacian is from 0 to 2 and is infeasible for scattering attenuation. In this study, the definition of the fractional biharmonic operator in space with an order varying from 0 to 4 is proposed, as well as a fractional biharmonic operator equation model of scattering attenuation which is consistent with arbitrary frequency power-law dependency and obeys the causal relation under the smallness approximation. Finally, the correlation between the fractional order and the ratio of wavelength to the diameter of the scattering heterogeneity is investigated and an expression on exponential form is also provided.
