Efficient numerical algorithm for the solution of nonlinear two-dimensional Volterra integral equation arising from torsion problem (Q2244301)

Summary: In this article, an effective method is given to solve nonlinear two-dimensional Volterra integral equations of the second kind, which is arising from torsion problem for a long bar that consists of the nonlinear viscoelastic material type with a fixed elliptical cross section. First, the existence of a unique solution of this problem is discussed, and then, we find the solution of a nonlinear two-dimensional Volterra integral equation (NT-DVIE) using block-by-block method (B-by-BM) and degenerate kernel method (DKM). Numerical examples are presented, and their results are compared with the analytical solution to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the method.
