Demiray, H. (2008). Weakly non-linear waves in a fluid-filled elastic tube with variable prestretch. International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics, 43(9), 887-891. doi:10.1016/j.ijnonlinmec.2008.06.001Özet
In the present work, by utilizing the non-linear equations of motion of an incompressible, isotropic thin elastic tube subjected to a variable prestretch both in the axial and the radial directions and the approximate equations of motion of an incompressible inviscid fluid, which is assumed to be a model for blood, we studied the propagation of weakly non-linear waves in such a medium, in the long wave approximation. Employing the reductive perturbation method we obtained the variable coefficient KdV equation as the evolution equation. By seeking a travelling wave solution to this evolution equation, we observed that the wave speed is variable in the axial coordinate and it decreases for increasing circumferential stretch (or radius). Such a result seems to be plausible from physical considerations.

Reducing a generalized Davey-Stewartson system to a non-local nonlinear Schrodinger equation
Eden, Osman Alp; Erbay, Saadet; Hacınlıyan, Irma (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-07-30)In the present study, we consider a generalized (2 + 1) Davey-Stewartson (GDS) system consisting of a nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) type equation for the complex amplitude of a short wave and two asymmetrically coupled linear ... -
Head-on-collision of nonlinear waves in a fluid of variable viscosity contained in an elastic tube
Demiray, Hilmi (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2009-08-30)In this work, treating the arteries as a thin walled, prestressed elastic tube and the blood as an incompressible viscous fluid of variable viscosity, we have studied the interactions of two nonlinear waves, in the long ... -
