This paper addresses the derivation of solitary wave solutions for some nonlinear partial differential equations by use of homogenous balanced principle. The solitary wave solutions for nonlinear thermo-elastic system of slender structure are obtained. The typical wave equations such as KdV equations, nonlinear thermal conducting equation and sine-Gordon equation are investigated and more solutions are found. In addition, a computer symbolic system (Maple) is used to find the exact solutions of PDEs in terms of tanh functions. |
