TY - JOUR TI - Solutions of the KdV-MKdV equations arising in non-linear elastic rods under fractal dimension AU - Shang Chu-Han AU - Yi Huai-An JN - Thermal Science PY - 2024 VL - 28 IS - 3 SP - 2125 EP - 2133 PT - Article AB - A prediction of rod wave type with great precision is extremely important in theoretical analysis and practical applications. Besides the well-known periodic motion and resonance, this paper studies the rod wave in a fractal space, and a fractal solitary wave is unlocked by the variational approach, the results reveal that the rod strain non-linearity and fractal dimensions affect greatly the wave travelling properties. This paper offers a new window for identifying a solitary wave from periodic motion easily and accurately.
