In this work, the finite element technique is employed to evaluate the effects of thermal relaxation durations on temperature, displacements, and stresses in a two-dimensional, polymeric, orthotropic, elastic medium. The problem is considered in a homogeneous, polymeric, orthotropic medium in the context of the Green and Lindsay model with two thermal relaxation times. The bounding surface of the half-space was subjected to a heat flux with an exponentially decaying pulse. Finite element techniques were used to solve the governing formulations, with eight-node isoparametric rectangular elements with three degrees of freedom (DOF) per node. The developed method was calculated using numerical results applied to the polymeric, orthotropic medium. The findings were implemented and visually shown. Finally, the results were displayed to demonstrate the differences between classical dynamic coupling (CT), the Lord–Shulman (LS) and the Green and Lindsay (GL) models.

This paper addresses the newly proposed concatenation model by the usage of trial equation approach. The concatenation is a chain model that is a combination of the nonlinear Schrodinger’s equation, Lakshmanan–Porsezian–Daniel model as well as the Sasa–Satsuma equation. The recovered solutions are displayed in terms of dark solitons, singular solitons, cnoidal waves and singular periodic waves. The trial equation approach enables to recover a wide spectrum of solutions to the governing model. The numerical schemes give a visual perspective to the solutions derived analytically.

This work recovers cubic-quartic optical solitons with dispersive reflectivity in fiber Bragg gratings and parabolic law of nonlinearity. The Lie symmetry analysis first reduces the governing partial differential equations to the corresponding ordinary differential equations which are subsequently integrated. This integration is conducted using two approaches which are the modified Kudryashov’s approach as well as the generalized Arnous’ scheme. These collectively yielded a full spectrum of cubic-quartic optical solitons that have been proposed to control the depletion of the much-needed chromatic dispersion. They range from bright, dark, singular to combo solitons. These solitons are considered with dispersive reflectivity, which maintains the necessary balance between chromatic dispersion and nonlinear refractive index structure for an uninterrupted transmission of solitons along intercontinental distances. Their respective surface and contour plots are also exhibited. A few closing words are included with some prospective future avenues of research to extend this topic further.

The first-ever use of halloysite nanotube (HNT), a relatively low-cost nanomaterial abundantly available with minor toxicity for removing brilliant green dye from aqueous media, is reported. The factors affecting adsorption were studied by assessing the adsorption capacity, kinetics, and equilibrium thermodynamic properties. All the experiments were designed at a pH level of around 7. The Redlich-Peterson isotherm model fits best amongst the nine isotherm models studied. The kinetic studies data confirmed a pseudo model of the second order. Robotic investigations propose a rate-controlling advance being overwhelmed by intraparticle dispersion. The adsorbent features were interpreted using infrared spectroscopy and electron microscopy. Process optimization was carried out using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) through a dual section Fractional Factorial Experimental Design to contemplate the impact of boundaries on the course of adsorption. The examination of fluctuation (ANOVA) was utilized to consider the joined impact of the boundaries. The possibilities of the use of dye adsorbing HNT (“sludge”) for the fabrication of the composites using plastic waste are suggested.

This paper retrieves highly dispersive optical solitons to complex Ginzburg–Landau equation having six forms of nonlinear refractive index structures for the very first time. The enhanced version of the Kudryashov approach is the adopted integration tool. Thus, bright and singular soliton solutions emerge from the scheme that are exhibited with their respective parameter constraints.
