    A note on the exact travelling wave solution to the KdV-Burgers equation
    (Elsevier Science, 2003-10) Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present note, by use of the hyperbolic tangent method, a progressive wave solution to the Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers (KdVB) equation is presented. The solution we introduced here is less restrictive and comprises some solutions existing in the current literature (see [Wave Motion 11 (1989) 559; Wave Motion 14 (1991) 369]).

    On the realization of optical mappings and transformation of amplitudes by means of an aspherical "thick" lens
    (Gustav Fischer Verlag, 2000) Hasanoğlu, Elman; Polat, Burak Deniz
    The constraints for the realization of a given optical mapping by means of an aspherical ''thick" lens are investigated by using the laws of geometrical optics. The analysis yields us a partial differential equation which the optical mapping functions must satisfy as a necessary and sufficient condition. It is shown that thick lenses, which convert plane waves to plane waves, can be considered as a pure amplitude element, An interesting feature of this equation is that it does not involve the lens profiles. The problem of realization is later discussed for some special mappings and graphical illustrations of the aspherical lens profiles for a linear mapping are presented.

    Weakly non-linear waves in a tapered elastic tube filled with an inviscid fluid
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2005-07) Bakırtaş, İlkay; Demiray, Hilmi
    In the present work, treating the artery as a tapered, thin walled, long and circularly conical prestressed elastic tube and using the longwave approximation, we have studied the propagation of weakly non-linear waves in such a fluid-filled elastic tube by employing the reductive perturbation method. By considering the blood as an incompressible inviscid fluid, the evolution equation is obtained as the Korteweg-de Vries equation with a variable coefficient. It is shown that this type of equation admits a solitary wave-type solution with variable wave speed. It is observed that, the wave speed decreases with distance for positive tapering while it increases for negative tapering. It is further observed that, the progressive wave profile for expanding tubes (a > 0) becomes more steepened whereas for narrowing tubes (a < 0) it becomes more flattened.

    The dynamic response of an incompressible non-linearly elastic membrane tube subjected to a dynamic extension
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004-06) Tüzel, Vasfiye Hande; Erbay, Hüsnü Ata
    The dynamic response of an isotropic hyperelastic membrane tube, subjected to a dynamic extension at its one end, is studied. In the first part of the paper, an asymptotic expansion technique is used to derive a non-linear membrane theory for finite axially symmetric dynamic deformations of incompressible non-linearly elastic circular cylindrical tubes by starting from the three-dimensional elasticity theory. The equations governing dynamic axially symmetric deformations of the membrane tube are obtained for an arbitrary form of the strain-energy function. In the second part of the paper, finite amplitude wave propagation in an incompressible hyperelastic membrane tube is considered when one end is fixed and the other is subjected to a suddenly applied dynamic extension. A Godunov-type finite volume method is used to solve numerically the corresponding problem. Numerical results are given for the Mooney-Rivlin incompressible material. The question how the present numerical results are related to those obtained in the literature is discussed.

    Two-dimensional wave packets in an elastic solid with couple stresses
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004-08) Babaoğlu, Ceni; Erbay, Saadet
    The problem of (2+1) (two spatial and one temporal) dimensional wave propagation in a bulk medium composed of an elastic material with couple stresses is considered. The aim is to derive (2+1) non-linear model equations for the description of elastic waves in the far field. Using a multi-scale expansion of quasi-monochromatic wave solutions, it is shown that the modulation of waves is governed by a system of three non-linear evolution equations. These equations involve amplitudes of a short transverse wave, a long transverse wave and a long longitudinal wave, and will be called the "generalized Davey Stewartson equations". Under some restrictions on parameter values, the generalized Davey-Stewartson equations reduce to the Davey-Stewartson and to the non-linear Schrodinger equations. Finally, some special solutions involving sech-tanh-tanh and tanh-tanh-tanh type solitary wave solutions are presented.
