The mechanical responses of the fractal dashpot are investigated with different strains and stresses, which are compared with the existing dashpot models, including the Newton dashpot and the Abel dashpot. The results show that as the derivative order is between 0 and 1, the viscoelastic behavior of the fractal dash- pot is similar to that of the Abel dashpot. However, the fractal dashpot has a high computational efficiency compared with the Abel dashpot. On the other hand, the fractal dashpot can be reduced to the Newton dashpot when the deriva- tive order equals to 1. As an extension of fractal dashpot, a fractal Bingham model is also introduced in this study. The accuracy of proposed fractal models is verified by the relevant rheological experimental data. Moreover, the obtained parameters can not only provide quantitative insights into both the viscoelasticity and the relative strength of rheopexy and thixotropy, but also quantitatively distinguish shear thinning and thickening phenomena.

On the other hand, with the order a approaching to 1, the strain of fractal dashpot is close to that of Newton dashpot (a special case of fractal dashpot with order equals to 1), which shows the high viscosity of fractal dashpot. In addition, it can be seen that fractal dashpot and Abel dashpot are almost similar in viscoelastic property with respect to the creep and recovery processes.

Key words: fractal, fractal derive, fractional derive Introduction Fractional calculus becomes a hot topic in both mathematics and engineering. There are many definitions of fractional derivative. Hereby we write down Jumarie’s definition [1] 1dn x D f( x ) = ( x )n [ f ( ) f (0)]d (1) 0 x n ()n dx 0 for x Î[0, 1], n – 1 £ a < n and n ≥ 1. Other definitions can be found in refs. [2-7]. Most fractional derivatives are very complex for engineering applications. Though the fractional equations can be solved by various methods, such as the variational iteration method [2], the homotopy perturbation method [3], and the exp-function method[4], the solution procedure is not easy enough for an engineer to master it. In order to better model an engineering problem in a discontinuous media, a new derivative is much needed. Fractal derivative A discontinuous media can be described by fractal dimensions. Chen et al. suggested a fractal derivative defined as [8]: du ( x ) u ( x ) u ( s ) lim DDD (2) dxssx x where D is the order of the fractal derivative.

The two-scale thermodynamics observes the same phenomenon using two different scales, one scale is generally used in the conventional continuum mechanics, and the other scale can reveal the hidden truth beyond the continuum assumption, and fractal calculus has to be adopted to establish governing equations. Here basic properties of fractal calculus are elucidated, and the relationship between the fractal calculus and traditional calculus is revealed using the two-scale transform, fractal variational principles are discussed for one-dimensional fluid mechanics. Additionally planet distribution in the fractal solar system, dark energy in the fractal space, and a fractal ageing model are also discussed.

  • Parameters Identification for Fractional‐Fractal Model of Filtration‐Consolidation Using GPU
    Parameters identification for fractional‐fractal model of filtration‐consolidation using GPU Vsevolod Bohaienkoa, Anatolij Gladkya a V.M. Glushkov Institute of Cybernetics of NAS of Ukraine, Glushkov ave., 40, Kyiv, 03187, Ukraine Abstract The paper considers some computational problems arising in the important practical field of the determination of safe operation conditions of engineering facilities that pollute soils and groundwater. In the case of complex geological and hydrological conditions, such problems are widely considered using mathematical modeling of deformation and consolidation processes in water-saturated soils, particularly, in the foundations of hydraulic structures. To simulate the dynamics of such processes, we use a fractional-fractal approach that allows considering temporal non-locality of transfer processes in media of fractal structure. The used one-dimensional differential model contains a non-local Caputo derivative with respect to the time variable and a local fractal derivative with respect to the space variable. Some of model’s parameters, namely the orders of fractional derivatives, can only be determined fitting them to the measured data related to the state of a process. We propose to use particle swarm optimization algorithm to perform an identification of fractional derivatives’ orders and present the results of its testing on noised subsets of direct problem solutions. In this context, we have determined that the order of space-fractal derivative is restored with a relative error of not more than 1% while the order of time-fractional derivative is restored with higher errors of not more than 10%. The lowest number of observation points that ensures stable restoration of the orders was equal to 25.

This paper presents a comprehensive understanding of the Hausdorff derivative diffusion model on the basis of the physical interpretation, the Hausdorff fractal distance and the funda- mental solution. The concept of the Hausdorff fractal distance is introduced, which converges to the classical Euclidean distance with the varying orders tending to 1. The fundamental solution of the 3-D Hausdorff fractal derivative diffusion equa- tion is proposed on the basis of the Hausdorff fractal distance. With the help of the properties of the Hausdorff derivative, the Huasdorff diffusion model is also found to be a kind of time-space dependent convection-diffusion equation underlying the anomalous diffusion behavior. Key words: anomalous diffusion, Hausdorff derivative, fundamental solution, Hausdorff fractal distance Introduction In recent years, the anomalous diffusion has been widely observed, such as pollutant and gas transport in porous media [1, 2].

Previous investigations have indicated that the medium structure, fractal dimension or porosity may change with time or space during sol- ute transport processes, results in time or spatial dependent anomalous diffusion phenomena. Hereby, this study makes an attempt to introduce a variable-order fractal derivative diffusion model, in which the index of fractal derivative depends on temporal moment or spatial position, to characterize the previous mentioned anomalous diffusion (or transport) processes. Compared with other models, the main advantages in description and the physical explanation of new model are explored by numerical simulation. Further discussions on the dissimilitude such as computational efficiency, diffusion behavior, and heavy tail phenomena of the new model, and variable-order fractional derivative model are also offered.

In this model, the time and space Hausdorff derivatives are defined on non-Euclidean fractal metrics with power law scaling transform which, respectively, connect the temporal and spatial complexity during transport. As an example of applications of this model, an explicit solution with a constant diffusion coefficient and flow velocity subject to an instantaneous source is derived and fitted to the breakthrough curves of tritium as a tracer in porous media. These results are compared with those of a scale-dependent dispersion model and a time-scale dependent dispersion model. Overall, it is found that the fractal model based on the Hausdorff derivatives better captures the early arrival and heavy tail in the scaled breakthrough curves for variable transport distances. The estimated parameters in the fractal Hausrdorff model represent clear physical mechanisms. Keywords: Time-space dependent dispersion, Hausdorff derivative, fractal PDE, solute transport, water flow, porous media 1.

The concept of differentiation with power law reset has not been investigated much in the literature, as some researchers believe the concept was wrongly introduced, it is unable to describe fractal sharps. It is impor- tant to note that, this concept of differentiation is not to describe or display fractal sharps but to describe a flow within a medium with self-similar prop- erties. For instance, the description of flow within a non-conventional media which does not obey the classical Fick's laws of diffusion, Darcy's law and Fourier's law cannot be handle accurately with conventional mechanical law of rate of change. In this paper, we pointed out the use of the non-conventional differential operator with fractal dimension and it possible applicability in sev- eral field of sciences, technology and engineering dealing with non-conventional flow. Due to the wider applicability of this concept and the complexities of solving analytically those partial differential equations generated from this op- erator, we introduced in this paper a new numerical scheme that will be able to handle this class of differential equations. We presented in general the condi- tions of stability and convergence of the numerical scheme.

  • The Exact Spectral Derivative Discretization Finite Difference
    The Exact Spectral Derivative Discretization Finite Difference (ESDDFD) Method for Wave Models: A Wave View of the Universe Through Natural Fractional and Fractal Derivative Representations (or View Lens Shops for The Exponential Wave Universe) D.P. Clemence-Mkhope Department of Mathematics and Statistics North Carolina A&T State University Greensboro, NC 27411, USA e-mail: [email protected] Abstract A wave view of the universe is proposed in which each natural phenomenon is equipped with its own unique natural viewing lens. A self-sameness modeling principle and its systematic application in Fourier-Laplace transform space is proposed as a novel, universal discrete modeling paradigm for advection-diffusion-reaction equations (ADREs) across non-integer derivatives, time scales, and wave spectral signatures. Its implementation is a novel exact spectral derivative discretization finite difference method (ESDDFD), a way for crafting wave viewing lenses by obtaining discrete wave models from ADRE models. The template for building these lenses come in the form of natural derivative representations obtained from the wave signature probability distribution function and its harmonic oscillation in FL transform space; use of the ESDDFD method in the discrete numerical modeling of wave equations requires no a-priori theory of any mathematical derivative. A major mathematical consequence of this viewpoint is that all notions of the mathematical integer or non- integer derivatives have representation as limits of such natural derivative representations; this and other consequences are discussed and a discretization of a simple integer derivative diffusion-reaction equation is presented to illustrate the method. The resulting view lenses, in the form of ESDDFD models, work well in detecting both local and non-local Debye or Kohlrausch-Williams-Watts exponential patterns; only Brownian motion and sub-diffusion are discussed in the present article.

NOVEL METHODS FOR SOLVING THE CONFORMABLE WAVE EQUATION MOHAMMED K A KAABAR Abstract. In this paper, a two-dimensional conformable fractional wave equa- tion describing a circular membrane undergoing axisymmetric vibrations is formulated. It was found that the analytical solutions of the fractional wave equation using the conformable fractional formulation can be easily and effi- ciently obtained using separation of variables and double Laplace transform methods. These solutions are compared with the approximate solution ob- tained using the differential transform method for certain cases. 1. Introduction The fractional formulation of differential equations is an extension of the frac- tional calculus that was first introduced in 1695 when L'H^opitaland Leibniz dis- cussed the extension of the integer order derivative to the derivative of order 1=2. Both Euler and Lacroix studied the fractional order derivative and defined the frac- tional derivative using the expression for the nth derivative of the power function [8].

Fractional Brownian motion on thin Cantor-like sets is defined with the use of non-local fractal derivatives. The fractal Hurst exponent is suggested, and its relation with the order of non-local fractal derivatives is established. We relate the Gangal fractal derivative defined on a one-dimensional stochastic fractal to the fractional derivative after an averaging procedure over the ensemble of random realizations. That means the fractal derivative is the progenitor of the fractional derivative, which arises if we deal with a certain stochastic fractal.
