In this work, we combine two different existing two-compartmental models of ethanol metabolism and propose a nonlinear three-compartmental model of ethanol metabolism in the human body based on Michaelis-Menten kinetics for elimination of ethanol in liver cells. Hence, we obtain a system of nonlinear differential equations, which describes the approximate dynamics of ethanol elimination in the human body. Furthermore, we show that our time-continuous model possesses a unique nonnegative solution globally in time and has exactly one stable fixed point whose stability is shown. Afterward, we suggest a nonstandard finite-difference method based on Mickens' methodology for its numerical solution and examine all properties of our time-continuous model, which are preserved in the time-discrete case. Additionally, we show that the proposed scheme converges linearly towards the solution of the time-continuous model. Conclusively, we underline our theoretical findings by numerical examples.

A semi-implicit finite-difference scheme is proposed for solving the nonlinear viscous compressible Navier-Stokes equations. Coordinate transformations are constructed that yield a uniform mesh in the computational plane even though the physical domain under consideration is time-varying and curvilinear. The finite-difference scheme was tested using model examples.

We present a finite-difference method for the solution of the Falkner-Skan equation. The method uses a coordinate transformation to map a semi-infinite physical domain to the unit interval [0, 1]. After using a suitable change of variables, the transformed third order boundary value problem for this domain is solved using a finite-difference scheme. The numerical solutions obtained by the present method are in agreement with those obtained by previous authors. (C) 1998 Published by Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved.

In this article, first time, a well-known equation, which can be used to analyze the behavior of the bubble formulation in the mixture of gas and liquid in fluid dynamics, has been considered in the form of a non-linear ordinary differential equation in fuzzy environment. In addition, the fuzzy non-linear ordinary differential equation has been presented in the sense of acut. Then, the left and right branches of ordinary differential equations have been converted into Volterra integro-differential equations with singular kernels. A numerical method based on the numerical approximation of first-order derivative by finitedifference has been modified to solve the equation after converting it into the non-linear singular integro-differential equations. In the first-order method, the right rectangles rules have been used to compute the integrals in the converted equations. In addition, in the second-order method, the integrals have been analyzed with the help of trapezoidal rule instead of right rectangles rule. After that, the iterative sequence has been defined to find the approximate solution of the given equation for both first- and second-order methods. A convergence analysis has been developed for both first- and second-order methods in the form of different types of lemmas and theorems for different cases. Some of these theorems have been shown that the equations are uniquely solvable for both first- and second-order methods. These results have been shown with the help of Banach fixed-point theorem. A brief comparison of our method with other existing methods has been presented to show the efficiency and reliability of our proposed method. In addition, a brief discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of our method has been discussed. Some numerical examples have been chosen and examined to show the validation of our proposed method. In addition, some error analysis have been examined in the form of different types of tables and figures which shows the ef

In this article, we propose a high order method for solving steady and unsteady two-dimensional laminar boundary-layer equations. This method is convergent of sixth-order of accuracy. It is shown that this method is unconditionally stable. The unsteady separated stagnation point flow, the Falkner-Skan equation and Blasius equation are considered as special cases of these equations. Numerical experiments are given to illustrate our method and its convergence.

In recent years nanostructures have been widely used in industry, for example in nanoelectromechanical systems (NEMS);knowledge of the mechanical behavior of nanostructured materials is therefore important. In the work discussed in this paper, the non-dimensional buckling load of rectangular nano-plates was determined for general boundary conditions. Non-local theory was used to derive the governing equation, and this equation was then solved, by use of the finite-difference method, by applying different combinations of boundary conditions. To verify the proposed method, the non-dimensional buckling load determined for a simply supported plate was compared with results obtained by use of local theory and with results reported in the literature. When the method was used to calculate the buckling load of nano-beams, results were in good agreement with literature results. As a novel contribution of the work, non-symmetric boundary conditions were also studied. The non-dimensional buckling load was obtained for several values of aspect ratio, non-local variables, and different types of boundary condition. For better understanding, mode shapes are also depicted. The finite-difference method could be a powerful means of determination of the mechanical behavior of nanostructures, with little computational effort, and the results could be as reliable as those obtained by use of other methods. The ability to deal with a combination of boundary conditions illustrates the advantages of this method compared with other methods.

This paper presents the development of the magneto-thermoelastic problem in non-homogeneous isotropic cylinder in a primary magnetic field when the curved surface of the cylinder subject to certain boundary conditions. The governing coupled linear partial differential equations in the hyperbolic-type have been solved numerically using the finite-difference method. Graphical results for the temperature, displacement and components of stresses are illustrated and discussed for copper-like material. The results indicate that the effects of inhomogeneity and magnetic field are very pronounced. Some more interesting particular cases have also been discussed. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.

详细信息
Nonlinear equations of motion for a laminated composite plate under blast loading, based on the first-order shear deformation theory, are derived. The governing equations are solved by the finite-difference method in conjunction with the Newmark time integration scheme. The rules of material property degradation are modified to allow for strain rate effects. A progressive damage model is developed based on the modified rules of material property degradation and Hashin-type failure criteria to predict different failure modes. The validity of the method is demonstrated by quantitative and qualitative comparisons of present results with those available in the literature. Results for clamped glass/epoxy laminated composite plates with constant and strain-rate-dependent mechanical properties under a blast load are presented and compared for various ply stacking sequences, and pertinent conclusions are outlined.

This paper presents the ground motion amplification scenario along with fundamental frequency (F (0)) of sedimentary deposit for the seismic microzonation of Kolkata City, situated on the world's largest delta island with very soft soil deposit. A 4th order accurate SH-wave viscoelastic finite-difference algorithm is used for computation of response of 1D model for each borehole location. Different maps, such as for F (0), amplification at F (0), average spectral amplification (ASA) in the different frequency bandwidth of earthquake engineering interest are developed for a variety of end-users communities. The obtained ASA of the order of 3-6 at most of the borehole locations in a frequency range of 0.25-10.0 Hz reveals that Kolkata City may suffer severe damage even during a moderate earthquake. Further, unexpected severe damage to collapse of multi-storey buildings may occur in localities near Hoogly River and Salt Lake area due to double resonance effects during distant large earthquakes.
