Boussinesq in 1872, model small-amplitude shallow-water waves with weakly nonlinear and dispersive effects. Over time, various forms of these systems have been developed. A common feature is their solution variables: the time-dependent free-surface elevation and horizontal fluid velocity in the water column. In 1993, O. Nwogu introduced a modified Boussinesq system by taking the solution variable at a specific fluid depth. This innovation significantly improved the linear dispersion properties, extending the applicability of Boussinesq systems to greater water depths. Due to these enhanced properties, the Nwogu system has become a widely used tool for nearshore wave modelling. While Boussinesq systems are commonly applied to small-amplitude long waves, the mechanical properties of these systems—such as mass, momentum, and energy—have received comparatively little attention, even for the Nwogu system. By leveraging the conservation principle, which states that the rate of change of a quantity in a spatial region equals the net influx into that region, mechanical balance laws can be derived for water wave models. This study derives mass, momentum, and energy balance laws for the Nwogu system in a two-dimensional domain with realistic bottom topography, ensuring accuracy consistent with the system’s asymptotic precision.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50658,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation","volume":"152 ","pages":"Article 109370"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145219434","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the mechanical response of such structures is inherently more complex than that of uniformly thick plates due to the variation in geometric shape. Meanwhile, this complexity is further compounded by the unclear mechanisms governing how bidirectional functionally graded materials (2D-FGMs) and local geometric imperfections affect low-velocity impact responses in rotating variable-thickness annular plates. The present study investigates these nonlinear impact characteristics through a novel analytical framework. By synergistically combining the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) with the improved nonlinear Hertz contact theory, the nonlinear governing equations of the plate are derived. The degradation model is validated to ensure the correctness of the proposed model.

It is generally believed that the complexity of such systems arises from these heterogeneous interactions, which are nonextensive and nonadditive. In other words, exploring how nonextensivity is generated in network ensembles is significant for understanding how complexity emerges in networked complex systems. In this work, based on the concept of local entropy in network ensembles and the detection of nonlinear increases in local entropy of network ensembles represented by matrices with local constraints, we find that network ensembles are nonextensive; that is, nonextensivity generally exists in network ensembles. Through detailed calculation of the local entropy for newly added nodes, we also find that the freedom of nodes to connect with each other causes the appearance of nonextensivity in network ensembles. In other words, the complexity in complex networks may emerge from free local interactions within the network, which is fundamentally different from the constrained local interactions in the Ising model. These results show that local entropy is a powerful framework for studying nonextensivity in network ensembles, and is also a significant method for understanding complexity in networked complex systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50658,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation","volume":"152 ","pages":"Article 109369"},"PeriodicalIF":3.8,"publicationDate":"2025-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145219429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Achieving uniform exponential stability, particularly polynomial stability, is a challenging endeavor.
