...Mohammed Rabius Sunny; Rakesh K. Kapania; Ronald D. Moffitt; Amitabh Mishra; Nakhiah Goulbourne This paper describes the development of a fractional calculus approach to model the hysteretic behavior shown by the variation in electrical resistances with strain in conductive polymers.

... at a differential level via a finite calculus procedure. This allows us to obtain a stabilized numerical solution scheme. Some particular aspects of the problem solution, such as the mesh updating procedure and the transom stern treatment, are presented. Examples of the efficiency of the semi-implicit algorithm...
