In this paper, we investigate a class of nonlinear two-term fractional differential equations involving two fractional orders δ ∈ (1, 2] and τ ∈ (0, δ) with integral boundary value conditions. By the Schauder fixed point theorem we obtain the existence of positive solutions based on the method of upper and lower solutions. Then we obtain the uniqueness result by the Banach contraction mapping principle. Examples are given to illustrate our main results.
Investigated herein is the postbuckling behavior of an initially imperfect nonlocal elastic column, which is simply supported at one end and subjected to an axial force at the other movable end. The governing nonlinear differential equation of the axially loaded nonlocal elastic column experiencing large deflection is first established within the framework of Eringen's nonlocal elasticity theory in order to embrace the size effect. Its semianalytical solutions by the virtue of homotopy perturbation method, as well as the successive approximation algorithm, are determined in an explicit form, through which the postbuckling equilibrium loads in terms of the end rotation angle and the deformed configuration of the column at this end rotation are predicted. By comparing the degenerated results with the exact solutions available in the literature, the validity and accuracy of the proposed methods are numerically substantiated. The size effect, as well as the initial imperfection, on the buckled configuration and the postbuckling equilibrium path is also thoroughly discussed through parametric studies.
This study is concerned with the boundary conditions of elastic beams within the framework of nonlocal elasticity th eory. The general solutions of the plane stress problem are, firstly, discussed. Through which and by employing the decaying analysis technique proposed by Gregory and Wan, a set of necessary conditions on the edge-d ata, other than the pure displacement one, for the existence of a decaying solution are formulated. A novel method in constructing the auxiliary regular state is also demonstrated, which is different fr om that we used before. Finally, the appropriate boundary conditions for the interior solution are obtained, which are not altered by the nonlocal parameter and take the form as these for their local elastic counterparts.
