Abstract:
The aim of this manuscript is to study the dynamics of the motion of an accelerated mass-spring system within fractional calculus. To investigate the described system, firstly, we construct the corresponding Lagrangian and derive the classical equations of motion using the Euler-Lagrange equations of integer-order. Furthermore, the generalized Lagrangian is introduced by using non-integer, so-called fractional, derivative operators; then the resulting fractional Euler-Lagrange equations are generated and solved numerically. The obtained results are presented illustratively by using numerical simulations.
