On the Solution of Nonlinear Fractional-Order Differential Equations Used in the Modeling of Viscoplasticity

  • Conference paper
Scientific Computing in Chemical Engineering II

Abstract

The authors have recently developed a mathematical model for the description of the behavior of viscoplastic materials. The model is based on a nonlinear differential equation of order β, where β is a material constant typically in the range 0 < β < 1. This equation is coupled with a first-order differential equation. In the present paper, we introduce and discuss a numerical scheme for the numerical solution of these equations. The algorithm is based on a PECE-type approach.
