In this paper, we introduce some generalizations by applying the variational method to deformable strings. We explore two specific cases: (i) in the first case, we investigate the nonlinear behavior of an elastic string with variable length, dependent on the applied boundary conditions; specifically, this analysis serves to introduce the variational method and demonstrate the process of finding analytical solutions; (ii) in the second case, we examine a deformable string with a constant length; however, we introduce mass redistribution within the string through nonlinear elastic interactions. In the first scenario, the deformation state of the string always describes elongation, as compression states prove to be unstable for fully flexible strings. In contrast, in the second scenario, the finite length constraint induces compressive states in specific configurations and regions of the string. However, it is worth noting that the solution to this problem exists only for values of the elastic constant that are not too low, a phenomenon that is studied in detail. We conduct here both analytical and graphical analyses of various geometries, comparing the elastic behavior of the two aforementioned types of strings. Understanding the elastic behavior of deformable strings, especially the second type involving mass redistribution, is crucial for enhancing comprehension in the study of biological filaments or fibers and soft matter. For instance, these investigations can contribute to understanding the mechanisms employed by cells to sense gravity or other mechanical conditions.","PeriodicalId":501230,"journal":{"name":"ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics","volume":"167 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141519649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to be able to perform the comparison, dynamic experiments were carried out in a laboratory microtomography facility. During active scans with a duration of 30–75 s several sedimentation experiments have been carried out with an exposure time of 0.13 s/projection. Through the movement of the particles during the scan curved motion artefacts in the reconstructed data occur, where the vertex marks the coordinate of the particle. It could be shown that both approaches enable the tracing of particles in laboratory x‐ray µCT with deviations from a manually evaluated result of exemplarily 1.25% for the conventional digital image processing (CDIP) and 0.48% for the ANN. It was found that ANNs are able to identify particle positions in non‐symmetrical motion artefacts, appearing around the first and last position of the particles in the scan, allowing an extension of the motion range of the particles that can be evaluated. Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages. Due to the high complexity and size as well as partly black box structures of neural networks, they are not 100% comprehensible whereas conventional image processing is 100% transparent and understandable. But because of the complexity of the tracing of particles, the CDIP code offers many parameters that can be set, which is why the application is therefore slightly more complex.","PeriodicalId":501230,"journal":{"name":"ZAMM - Journal of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141505685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model is further developed using the properties of convective heat transfer, suction velocity, Joule heating, heat source/sink, and viscous dissipation with the porous medium. The relevant transformations are applied to the governing partial differential equations (PDEs) resulting in the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The solution technique makes use of the computational scheme in MATLAB known as the bvp4c technique. All relevant findings are obtained using a wide range of dimensionless parameters. The Cattaneo–Christov model and the second‐grade fluid transmits heat faster than the classical Fourier law and Newtonian fluid as well as the heat transfer rate of both fluids was found to drop as the values of Eckert number and curvature parameter enhances. Moreover, the Newtonian fluid has lower friction drag than the second‐grade fluid and the concentration of the bulk fluid is declined by the rising values of hetrogeneous and homogeneous reaction parameter. With potential applications in a variety of engineering fields, including thermal management systems and nanofluid‐based technologies, this work is significant for understanding MHD flow of second‐grade nanofluids over curved surfaces, incorporating heterogeneous reactions and the Cattaneo–Christov model.

The study addressed the problem based on time‐dependent thermal conductivity and considering an external heat source. It is important to understand how heat transfer occurs in nanofluids with variable thermal conductivity because it is a significant feature in many thermodynamic systems where nanofluids play important roles. To formulate the set of dimensionless governing equations, similarity variables are employed. The numerical shooting method, known for its high precision, is applied to solve these equations. The accuracy of the solutions is verified by comparison with results from previous studies, and the impact of various parameters is examined.

The impact of viscous dissipation and magnetic field is recorded. The suction‐ injection is promoted at the walls of the microchannel. Two imperative slip mechanisms like Brownian motion and thermophoresis are accounted for the study. Entropy scrutiny is carried out for system effectiveness. To simplify the non‐linear equations certain non‐dimensional variables are used. The obtained mathematical formulations are solved using an efficient problem‐solving operation namely Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg 4–5th order method. The parameters attained are studied using graphical illustrations. The findings of this article comprehend that on enlarging Weissenberg number, flow field declines at the bottom wall and levitates at the top wall and the material power law parameter magnifies the velocity distribution. Entropy generated is maximum at top wall and minimum at the bottom wall for the Brownian motion parameter but the reverse manner is attained for thermophoresis parameter.

In the context of mathematical modeling, the appropriate dimensional nonlinear equations for momentum, heat and mass transport are simplified into dimensionless equations by applying the essential estimation of long wavelength and low Reynolds number. The solution of the governing equations is executed numerically.

For the growing values of Prandtl number , an increment in temperature profile is observed whilst a reverse tendency is captured for concentration profile. It is noted that concentration profile falls down owing to the enhancement in Soret number and Schmidt number . An oscillatory outlook is noticed for heat transfer rate and Nusselt number.
