چکیده
We consider a string of length l with ends fixed, and rest state coinciding with x-axis. The string is plucked into oscillation. Let u (x, t) be the position of the string at time t. Assumptions: 1. Small oscillations, i.e. the displacement u (x, t) is small compared to the length l. (a) Points move vertically. In general, we don't know that points on the string move vertically. By assuming the oscillations are small, we assume the points move vertically. (b) Slope of tangent to the string is small everywhere, i.e. |u x (x, t)| ≪ 1, so stretching of the string is negligible l (c) arc length α (t) = 1 + u 2 dx ≃ l. 0 x 2. String is perfectly flexible (it bends). This implies the tension is in the tan gent direction and the horizontal tension is constant, or else there would be a preferred direction of motion for the string. Consider an element of the string between x and x + Δx. Let T (x, t) be tension and θ (x, t) be the angle wrt the horizontal x-axis. Note that ∂u tan θ (x, t) = slope of tangent at (x, t) in ux-plane = (x, t). (1) ∂x 1

New explicit and Soliton Wave Solutions of Some Nonlinear Partial Differential Equations with Infinite Series Method
To start with, having employed transformation wave, some nonlinear partial differential equations have been converted into an ODE. Then, using the infinite series method for equations with similar linear part, the researchers have earned the exact soliton solutions of the selected equations. It is required to state that the infinite series method is a well-organized method for obtaining exact s...

In this study, we aim to construct a traveling wave solution for nonlinear partial differential equations. In this regards, a cosine-function method is used to find and generate the exact solutions for three different types of nonlinear partial differential equations such as general regularized long wave equation (GRLW), general Korteweg-de Vries equation (GKDV) and general equal width wave equ...

Rate of heat transfer ∂u = (1) −K0 area ∂x where K0 is the thermal conductivity, units [K0] = MLT U . In other words, heat is transferred from areas of high temp to low temp. 3. Conservation of energy. Consider a uniform rod of length l with non-uniform temperature lying on the x-axis from x = 0 to x = l. By uniform rod, we mean the density ρ, specific heat c, thermal conductivity K0, cross-sec...
