In this paper, we develop a mathematical model of an electrostatic MEMS beam undergoing impact with a stationary electrode subsequent to pull-in. We model the contact between the beam and the substrate using a nonlinear foundation of springs and dampers. The system partial differential equation (PDE) is converted into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using the Galerkin method. A numerical solution is obtained by treating all nonlinear terms as external forces.

In this paper, we develop a mathematical model of an electrostatic MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical systems) beam undergoing impact with a stationary electrode subsequent to pull-in. We model the contact between the beam and the substrate using a nonlinear foundation of springs and dampers. The system partial differential equation is converted into coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations using the Galerkin method. A numerical solution is obtained by treating all nonlinear terms as external forces. We use the model to predict the contact length, natural frequencies, and mode shapes of the beam past pull-in voltage as well as the dynamic response of a shunt switch in a closing and opening sequence.

In this paper, we propose a meshless method for solving the mathematical model concerning the leakage problem when the pressure is tested in the gas pipeline. The method of radial basis function (RBF) can be used for solving partial differential equation by writing the solution in the form of linear combination of radius basis functions, that is, when integrating the definite conditions, one can find the combination coefficients and then the numerical solution. The leak problem is a kind of inverse problem that is focused by many engineers or mathematical researchers. The strength of the leak can find easily by the additional conditions and the numerical solutions.

A mathematical model of evolution process is adopted to simulate orientation distribution of fibers suspensions in planar extensional flow, i.e., specific form of Fokker-Plank partial differential equation and Jeffery equation. The analytical solution of differential equation on forecast fiber orientation distribution is deduced.

When one solves the Black–Scholes partial differential equation, it is of great important that numerical scheme to be free of spurious oscillations and satisfy the positivity requirement. With positivity, we mean, the component non-negativity of the initial vector, is preserved in time for the exact solution. Numerically, such property for fully implicit scheme is not always satisfied by approximated solutions and they generate spurious oscillations in the presence of discontinuous payoff. In this paper, by using the nonstandard discretization strategy, we propose a new scheme that is free of spurious oscillations and satisfies the positivity requirement.
