This paper studies a non-linear viscoelastic wave equation, with non-linear damping and source terms, from the point of view of the Lie groups theory. Firstly, we apply Lie's symmetries method to the partial differential equation to classify the Lie point symmetries. Afterwards, we reduce the partial differential equation to some ordinary differential equations, by using the symmetries. Therefore, new analytical solutions are found from the ordinary differential equations. Finally, we derive low-order conservation laws, depending on the form of the damping and source terms, and discuss their physical meaning.

In this paper we make a full analysis of the symmetry reductions of a beam equation by using the classical Lie method of infinitesimals and the nonclassical method. We consider travelling wave reductions depending on the form of an arbitrary function. We have found several new classes of solutions that have not been considered before: solutions expressed in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions, Wadati solitons and compactons. Several classes of coherent structures are displayed by some of the solutions: kinks, solitons, two humps compactons.

In this paper, the family of BBM equation with strong nonlinear dispersive is considered. We apply the classical Lie method of infinitesimals. The symmetry reductions are derived from the optimal system of subalgebras and lead to systems of ordinary differential equations. We obtain for special values of the parameters of this equation, many exact solutions expressed by various single and combined nondegenerative Jacobi elliptic function solutions and their degenerative solutions (soliton, kink and compactons).

En este trabajo presentamos un estudio, desde el punto de vista de la teoría de las simetrías potenciales clásicas y no clásicas para ecuaciones en derivadas parciales, del modelo que describe las vibraciones de una viga.
