Abstract

The purpose of this study is to introduce a modification of the homotopy perturbation method using Laplace transform and Pade approximation to obtain closed form solutions of nonlinear coupled systems of partial differential equations. Two test examples are given; the coupled nonlinear system of Burger equations and the coupled nonlinear system in one dimensional thermoelasticity. The results obtained ensure that this modification is capable of solving a large number of nonlinear differential equations that have wide application in physics and engineering.
