tuned liquid dampers (tld) are among passive control devices that have been used to suppress the vibration of structures in recent years. these structures must be adequately presentable as an equivalent single degree of freedom system with long fundamental period. the tld, located at the top floors of the structure, can dissipate the external input energy into the system through the sloshing ef...

We consider fifth order nonlinear dispersive K(m,n, p) type equations to study the effect of nonlinear dispersion. Using simple scaling arguments we show, how, instead of the conventional solitary waves like solitons, the interaction of the nonlinear dispersion with nonlinear convection generates compactons the compact solitary waves free of exponential tails. This interaction also generates ma...

A complete series of potential functions for solving the wave equations in an almost transversely isotropic media is presented. The potential functions are reduced to only one potential function particularly for axisymmetric wave propagation problems. The potential functions presented in this paper can be reduced to Lekhnitskii-Hu-Nowacki solution for elastostatics problems.

in this paper, the coupled dispersive (2+1)-dimensional long wave equation is studied. the traveling wave hypothesis yields complexiton solutions. subsequently, the wave equation is studied with power law nonlinearity where the ansatz method is applied to yield solitary wave solutions. the constraint conditions for the existence of solitons naturally fall out of the derivation of the soliton so...

in this paper wave transformation in a submerged sloped breakwater and its hydraulic performance was simulated by developing a numerical model in fortran. the code was established by combining porous flow and a two-phase model using vof method. modified navier-stokes and k-ε equations implemented to the model to simulate the flow in porous media. cut cell method was modified to simulate fluid t...

in this work, we successfully construct the new exact traveling wave solutions ofthe generalized sinh–gordon equation by new application of the homogeneousbalance method. the idea introduced in this paper can be applied to othernonlinear evolution equations.
