This work introduces a numerical scheme for free vibration analysis of elastically supported piezoelectric nanobeam. Based on Hamilton principle, governing equations of the problem are derived. The problem is formulated for linear and nonlinear Winkler-Pasternak foundation type. Three differential quadrature techniques are employed to reduce the problem to an Eigen-value problem. The reduced system is solved iteratively. The natural frequencies of the beam are obtained. Numerical analysis is implemented to investigate computational characteristics affecting convergence, accuracy and efficiency of the proposed scheme. The obtained results agreed with the previous analytical and numerical ones. Furthermore, a parametric study is introduced to show influence of supporting conditions, two different electrical boundary conditions, material characteristics, foundation parameters, temperature change, external electric voltage, nonlocal parameter and beam length-to-thickness ratio on the values of natural frequencies and mode shapes of the problem.

This paper introduces the generalized fractional differential quadrature method, which is based on the generalized Caputo type and is used for the first time to solve nonlinear fractional differential equations. One of the effective shape functions of this method is the Cardinal Sine shape function, which is used in combination with the fractional operator of the generalized Caputo kind to convert nonlinear fractional differential equations into a nonlinear algebraic system. The nonlinearity problem is then solved using an iterative approach. Numerical results for a variety of chaotic systems are introduced using the MATLAB program and compared with previous theoretical and numerical results to ensure their reliability, convergence, accuracy, and efficiency. The fractional parameters play an effective role in studying the proposed problems. The achieved solutions prove the viability of the presented method and demonstrate that this method is easy to implement, effective, highly accurate, and appropriate for studying fractional differential equations emerging in fields related to chaotic systems and generalized Caputo-type fractional problems in the future.
The aim of this study is to utilize a differential quadrature method with various kernels, such as Lagrange interpolation and discrete singular convolution, to tackle problems related to the Riesz fractional diffusion equation and the Riesz fractional advection–dispersion equation. The governing equation for convection and diffusion depends on both spatial and transient factors. By using the block marching technique, we transform these equations into an algebraic system using differential quadrature methods and the Caputo-type fractional operator. Next, we develop a MATLAB program that generates code capable of solving the fractional convection–diffusion equation in (1+2) dimensions for each shape function. Our goal is to ensure that our methods are reliable, accurate, efficient, and capable of convergence. To achieve this, we conduct two experiments, comparing the numerical and graphical results with both analytical and numerical solutions. Additionally, we evaluate the accuracy of our findings using the L∞ error. Our tests show that the differential quadrature method, which relies mainly on the discrete singular convolution shape function, is a highly effective numerical approach for fractional convective diffusion problems. It offers superior accuracy, faster convergence, and greater reliability than other techniques. Furthermore, we study the impact of fractional order derivatives, velocity, and positive diffusion parameters on the results.
The primary goal of this work is to solve the problem of drug diffusion through a thin membrane using a differential quadrature approach with drastically different shape functions, such as Lagrange interpolation and discrete singular convolution (the delta Lagrange kernel and the regularized Shannon kernel). A nonlinear partial differential equation with two time- and space-dependent variables governs the system. To reduce the two independent variables by one, the partial differential equation is transformed into an ordinary differential equation using a one-parameter group transformation. With the aid of the iterative technique, the differential quadrature methods change this equation into an algebraic equation. Then, using a MATLAB program, a code is created that solves this equation for each shape function. To ensure the validity, efficiency, and accuracy of the developed techniques, the computed results are compared to previous numerical and analytical solutions. In addition, the L∞ error is applied. As a consequence of the numerical outcomes, the differential quadrature method, which is primarily based on a discrete singular convolution shape function, is an effective numerical method that can be used to solve the problem of drug diffusion through a thin membrane, guaranteeing a higher accuracy, faster convergence, and greater reliability than other techniques.
