Instability of Waveguides in a Liquid with Surface Effects

Long surface capillary-gravity waves and waves beneath an elastic plate simulating an ice sheet are considered for a liquid of finite depth. These waves are described by a generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation containing higher (as compared with the ordinary Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation) space derivatives. The generalized Kadomtsev-Petviashvili equation has waveguide solutions (waveguides) corresponding to traveling waves which are periodic in the direction of propagation and localized in the transverse direction. These waves result from the instability of uniform (carrier) periodic waves with respect to transverse perturbations. The stability of the waveguides with respect to longitudinal longwave perturbations is studied. The behavior of these perturbations depends on the wavenumber of the carrier periodic wave. Three intervals of wavenumbers corresponding to all the possible types of governing equations are considered.

On the dispersion relations for an inhomogeneous waveguide with attenuation

Some general laws concerning the structure of dispersion relations for solid inhomogeneous waveguides with attenuation are studied. An approach based on the analysis of a first-order matrix differential equation is presented in the framework of the concept of complex moduli. Some laws concerning the structure of components of the dispersion set for a viscoelastic inhomogeneous cylindrical waveguide are studied analytically and numerically, and the asymptotics of components of the dispersion set are constructed for arbitrary inhomogeneity laws in the low-frequency region.     

Forerunning mode transition in a continuous waveguide

We have discovered a forerunning mode transition as the periodic wave changing the state of a uniform continuous waveguide. The latter is represented by an elastic beam initially rested on an elastic foundation. Under the action of an incident sinusoidal wave, the separation from the foundation occurs propagating in the form of a transition wave. The critical displacement is the separation criterion. Under these conditions, the steady-state mode exists with the transition wave speed independent of the incident wave amplitude. We show that such a regime exists only in a bounded domain of the incident wave parameters. Outside this domain, for higher amplitudes, the steady-state mode is replaced by a set of local separation segments periodically emerging at a distance ahead of the main transition point. The crucial feature of this waveguide is that the incident wave group speed is greater than the phase speed. This allows the incident wave to deliver the energy required for the separation. The analytical solution allows us to show in detail how the steady-state mode transforms into the forerunning one. The latter studied numerically turns out to be periodic. As the incident wave amplitude grows the period decreases, while the transition wave speed averaged over the period increases to the group velocity of the wave. As an important part of the analysis, the complete set of solutions is presented for the waves excited by the oscillating or/and moving force acting on the free beam. In particular, an asymptotic solution is evaluated for the resonant wave corresponding to a certain relation between the load's speed and frequency.

Stability of an equilibrium position of a pendulum with step parameters

A mathematical pendulum affected by parametric disturbance with potential energy being periodic step function is considered. Non-linear equation of the pendulum depends on two parameters characterizing the mean value in time of the parametric disturbance and range of its “ripple”. Values of the parameters can be set arbitrarily. The non-linear problem of stability for two particular solutions of the equation corresponding to a hanging and inverse pendulum is solved.     

Periodic solutions and locking-in on the periodic surface

Periodic solutions (on the torus) are studied for the differential equation on the torus θ' = 1 + ge6(t/T), θ, T, ?). This equation, for example, governs solutions on the periodic surface for a periodically perturbed autonomous system. The set of all points in a horizontal strip of the T — ? plane containing ? = 0 for which the equation has periodic solutions are characterized, and the characterization is shown to be best possible. Locking-in is also discussed.     

Estimates of azimuthal numbers associated with elementary elliptic cylinder wave functions

The paper deals with issues related to the construction of solutions, 2 π-periodic in the angular variable, of the Mathieu differential equation for the circular elliptic cylinder harmonics, the associated characteristic values, and the azimuthal numbers needed to form the elementary elliptic cylinder wave functions. A superposition of the latter is one possible form for representing the analytic solution of the thermoelastic wave propagation problem in long waveguides with elliptic cross-section contour. The classical Sturm-Liouville problem for the Mathieu equation is reduced to a spectral problem for a linear self-adjoint operator in the Hilbert space of infinite square summable two-sided sequences. An approach is proposed that permits one to derive rather simple algorithms for computing the characteristic values of the angular Mathieu equation with real parameters and the corresponding eigenfunctions. Priority is given to the application of the most symmetric forms and equations that have not yet been used in the theory of the Mathieu equation. These algorithms amount to constructing a matrix diagonalizing an infinite symmetric pentadiagonal matrix. The problem of generalizing the notion of azimuthal number of a wave propagating in a cylindrical waveguide to the case of elliptic geometry is considered. Two-sided mutually refining estimates are constructed for the spectral values of the Mathieu differential operator with periodic and half-periodic (antiperiodic) boundary conditions.

Hopf bifurcation in delayed van der Pol oscillators

In this paper, we consider a classical van der Pol equation with a general delayed feedback. Firstly, by analyzing the associated characteristic equation, we derive a set of parameter values where the Hopf bifurcation occurs. Secondly, in the case of the standard Hopf bifurcation, the stability of bifurcating periodic solutions and bifurcation direction are determined by applying the normal form theorem and the center manifold theorem. Finally, a generalized Hopf bifurcation corresponding to non-semisimple double imaginary eigenvalues (case of 1:1 resonance) is analyzed by using a normal form approach.     

A new numerical technique for the analysis of parametrically excited nonlinear systems

A new computational scheme using Chebyshev polynomials is proposed for the numerical solution of parametrically excited nonlinear systems. The state vector and the periodic coefficients are expanded in Chebyshev polynomials and an integral equation suitable for a Picard-type iteration is formulated. A Chebyshev collocation is applied to the integral with the nonlinearities reducing the problem to the solution of a set of linear algebraic equations in each iteration. The method is equally applicable for nonlinear systems which are represented in state-space form or by a set of second-order differential equations. The proposed technique is found to duplicate the periodic, multi-periodic and chaotic solutions of a parametrically excited system obtained previously using the conventional numerical integration schemes with comparable CPU times. The technique does not require the inversion of the mass matrix in the case of multi degree-of-freedom systems. The present method is also shown to offer significant computational conveniences over the conventional numerical integration routines when used in a scheme for the direct determination of periodic solutions. Of course, the technique is also applicable to non-parametrically excited nonlinear systems as well.     

Gap in a continuous spectrum of an elastic waveguide with a partly clamped surface

A periodic elastic waveguide whose continuous spectrum contains a gap (interval that can contain a discrete spectrum only) is constructed. The gap prevents wave propagation in the corresponding range of frequencies, which can be used in designing filters and dampers of elastic waves.     

Bifurcation and chaos of an axially moving viscoelastic string

In this paper, bifurcation and chaos of an axially moving viscoelastic string are investigated. The 1-term and the 2-term Galerkin truncations are respectively employed to simplify the partial-differential equation that governs the transverse motions of the string into a set of ordinary differential equations. The bifurcation diagrams are presented in the case that the transport speed, the amplitude of the periodic perturbation, or the dynamic viscosity is respectively varied while other parameters are fixed. The dynamical behaviors are numerically identified based on the Poincare maps. Numerical simulations indicate that periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic motions occur in the transverse vibrations of the axially moving viscoelastic string.

Nonlinear forced vibration analysis of postbuckled beams

A numerical solution methodology is proposed herein to investigate the nonlinear forced vibrations of Euler–Bernoulli beams with different boundary conditions around the buckled configurations. By introducing a set of differential and integral matrix operators, the nonlinear integro-differential equation that governs the buckling of beams is discretized and then solved using the pseudo-arc-length method. The discretized governing equation of free vibration around the buckled configurations is also solved as an eigenvalue problem after imposing the boundary conditions and some complicated matrix manipulations. To study forced and nonlinear vibrations that take place around a buckled configuration, a Galerkin-based numerical method is applied to reduce the partial integro-differential equation into a time-varying ordinary differential equation of Duffing type. The Duffing equation is then discretized using time differential matrix operators, which are defined based on the derivatives of a periodic base function. Finally, for any given magnitude of axial load, the pseudo -arc-length method is used to obtain the nonlinear frequencies of buckled beams. The effects of axial load on the free vibration, nonlinear, and forced vibrations of beams in both prebuckling and postbuckling domains for the lowest three vibration modes are analyzed. This study shows that the nonlinear response of beams subjected to periodic excitation is complex in the postbuckling domain. For example, the type of boundary conditions significantly affects the nonlinear response of the postbuckled beams.     

THE WAVELET TRANSFORM OF PERIODIC FUNCTION AND NONSTATIONARY PERIODIC FUNCTION

Some properties of the wavelet transform of trigonometric function, periodic function and nonstationary periodic function have been investigated. The results show that the peak height and width in wavelet energy spectrum of a periodic function are in proportion to its period. At the same time, a new equation, which can truly reconstruct a trigonometric function with only one scale wavelet coefficient, is presented. The reconstructed wave shape of a periodic function with the equation is better than any term of its Fourier series. And the reconstructed wave shape of a class of nonstationary periodic function with this equation agrees well with the function.     

Periodic system of collinear cracks in an elastic porous medium

We consider a problem for cracks in a specific porous elastic material described by the Cowin-Goodman-Nunziato model. For an arbitrary set of collinear cracks, the problem is reduced to an integral equation over the crack surface. In the special case of a periodic crack arrangement, the kernel of the integral equation is written in the form of a Fourier series. By explicitly summing the leading part of the kernel, we can show that it exhibits hypersingular behavior as the argument tends to zero. Further, we solve the main integral equation by using the direct numerical method proposed in our preceding paper. In conclusion, we study the stress concentration at the crack tips and compare this case with the case of a single isolated crack.     

Long-wave asymptotic theories: The connection between functionally graded waveguides and periodic media

This article explores the deep connections that exist between the mathematical representations of dynamic phenomena in functionally graded waveguides and those in periodic media. These connections are at their most obvious for low-frequency and long-wave asymptotics where well established theories hold. However, there is also a complementary limit of high-frequency long-wave asymptotics corresponding to various features that arise near cut-off frequencies in waveguides, including trapped modes. Simultaneously, periodic media exhibit standing wave frequencies, and the long-wave asymptotics near these frequencies characterise localised defect modes along with other high-frequency phenomena. The physics associated with waveguides and periodic media are, at first sight, apparently quite different, however the final equations that distill the essential physics are virtually identical. The connection is illustrated by the comparative study of a periodic string and a functionally graded acoustic waveguide.
