Analytical and numerical studies for seiches in a closed basin with various geometric shapes of longitudinal section

Seiches are long-period standing waves with a unique period called a natural resonant period, during which the phenomenon of resonance occurs. The occurrence of resonance in coastal areas can cause destruction to surrounding natural and man-made structures. By determining the resonant period of a given basin, we can pinpoint the conditions that allow waves to achieve resonance. In this study, a mathematical model is developed from the shallow water equations to examine seiches and resonances in various types of closed basin. The developed model is solved analytically using the separation of variables method to determine the seiches' fundamental resonant periods. Comparisons between the analytical solutions and experimental measurements for resonant periods are also provided. It is shown that the analytical resonant period confirms the experimental data for closed basin of various geometric profiles. Using a finite volume method on a staggered grid, the model is solved numerically to simulate the wave profile when resonance phenomenon occurs. Through those numerical simulations, we also obtain the fundamental resonant period for each basin which agrees with the derived analytical period.     

Revealing the evolution, the stability, and the escapes of families of resonant periodic orbits in Hamiltonian systems

We investigate the evolution of families of periodic orbits in a bisymmetrical potential made up of a two-dimensional harmonic oscillator with only one quartic perturbing term, in a number of resonant cases. Our main objective is to compute sufficiently and accurately the position and the period of the periodic orbits. For the derivation of the above quantities (position and period) we deploy in each resonance case semi-numerical methods. The comparison of our semi-numerical results with those obtained by numerical integration of the equations of motion indicates that in every case the relative error is always less than 1 %, and therefore, the agreement is more than sufficient. Thus, we claim that semi-numerical methods are very effective tools for computing periodic orbits. We also study in detail the case when the energy of the orbits is larger than the escape energy. In this case, the periodic orbits in almost all resonance families become unstable and eventually escape from the system. Our target is to calculate the escape period and the escape position of the periodic orbits and also to monitor their evolution with respect to the value of the energy.     

Acoustic scattering from baffled membranes that are backed by elastic cavities

An elastic membrane backed by a fluid-filled cavity in an elastic body is set into an infinite plane baffle. A time harmonic wave propagating in the acoustic fluid in the upper half-space is incident on the plane. It is assumed that the densities of this fluid and the fluid inside the cavity are small compared with the densities of the membrane and of the elastic walls of the cavity, thus defining a small parameter . Asymptotic expansions of the solution of this scattering problem as →0, that are uniform in the wave number k of the incident wave, are obtained using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. When the frequency of the incident wave is bounded away from the resonant frequencies of the membrane, the cavity fluid, and the elastic body, the resultant wave is a small perturbation (the “outer expansion”) of the specularly reflected wave from a completely rigid plane. However, when the incident wave frequency is near a resonant frequency (the “inner expansion”) then the scattered wave results from the interaction of the acoustic fluid with the membrane, the membrane with the cavity fluid, and finally the cavity fluid with the elastic body, and the resulting scattered field may be “large”. The cavity backed membrane (CBM) was previously analyzed for a rigid cavity wall. In this paper, we study the effects of the elastic cavity walls on modifying the response of the CBM. For incident frequencies near the membrane resonant frequencies, the elasticity of the cavity gives only a higher order (in ) correction to the scattered field. However, near a cavity fluid resonant frequency, and, of course, near an elastic body resonant frequency the elasticity contributes to the scattered field. The method is applied to the two dimensional problem of an infinite strip membrane backed by an infinitely long rectangular cavity. The cavity is formed by two infinitely long rectangular elastic solids. We speculate on the possible significance of the results with respect to viscoelastic membranes and viscoelastic instead of elastic cavity walls for surface sound absorbers.     

Scattering by penetrable acoustic targets

An acoustic target of constant density ?_t and variable index of refraction is imbedded in a surrounding acoustic fluid of constant density ?_a. A time harmonic wave propagating in the surrounding fluid is incident on the target. We consider two limiting cases of the target where the parameter ε ≡ ?_a/?_t → 0 (the nearly rigid target) or ε → ∞ (the nearly soft target). Wh en the frequency of the incident wave is bounded away from the ‘in-vacuo’ resonant frequencies of the target, the resulting scattered field is essentially the field scattered by the rigid target for ε = 0 or the soft target if ε → ∞. However, when the frequency of the incident wave is near a resonant frequency,the target oscillates and its interaction with the surrounding fluid produces peaks in the scattered field amplitude. In this paper we obtain asymptotic expansions of the solutions of the scattering problems for the nearly rigid and the nearly soft targets as ε → 0 or ε → ∞, respectively, that are uniformly valid in the incident frequency. The method of matched asymptotic expansions is used in the analysis. The outer and inner expansions correspond to the incident frequencies being far or near to the resonant frequencies, respectively. We have applied the method only to simple resonant frequencies, but it can be extended to multiple resonant frequencies. The method is applied to the incidence of a plane wave on a nearly rigid sphere of constant index of refraction. The far field expressions for the scattered fields, including the total scattering cross-sections, that are obtained from the asymptotic method and from the partial wave expansion of the solution are in close agreement for sufficiently small values of ε.     

The Simplest Resonance Capture Problem,Using Harmonic Balance Based Averaging

We study the dynamics of capture into, or escape from, resonance in a strongly nonlinear oscillator with weak damping and forcing, using harmonic balance based averaging (HBBA). This system provides the simplest example of resonance capture that we know of. The HBBA technique, here adapted to tackle nonlinear resonances, provides a harmonic balance assisted approximation to the underlying, asymptotically correct, averaged dynamics. Allowing the harmonic balance approximation makes a variety of systems analytically tractable which might otherwise be intractable. The evolution equations for amplitude and phase of oscillations are derived first. Restricting attention near the primary resonance, the slow flow equations are approximately averaged. The resulting flow transparently shows the stable and unstable primary resonant solutions, as well as the trajectories that get captured into resonance and the ones that escape. Good agreement with numerics is obtained, showing the utility of HBBA near resonance manifolds.

Triadic resonant modes: dynamical model and truncation criterion

In the present paper we propose a three-dimensional theoretical model describing the local evolution of any two- or three-dimensional disturbance superimposed on a basic shear flow. A numerical investigation, using a truncated form of the evolution model, was performed to select resonant three-dimensional disturbance in a transitional cylinder wake. A truncation criterion of non-linear triadic resonance, which is a generalisation of the standard linear-resonance condition, allowed us to locate some triadic sets of linear eigenmodes. Numerical integration of the corresponding low-dimensional dynamical systems showed interesting results that are in qualitative agreement with those performed by Williamson and Prasad [J. Fluid Mech. 256 (1993) 269.] This seems to validate the truncation criterion which, together with the theoretical model, proved to be an appropriate tool for describing the local evolution of large-scale structures in shear flows.     

Surface Plasmon Resonance of Nanoparticles and Applications in Imaging

In this paper we provide a mathematical framework for localized plasmon resonance of nanoparticles. Using layer potential techniques associated with the full Maxwell equations, we derive small-volume expansions for the electromagnetic fields, which are uniformly valid with respect to the nanoparticle’s bulk electron relaxation rate. Then, we discuss the scattering and absorption enhancements by plasmon resonant nanoparticles. We study both the cases of a single and multiple nanoparticles. We present numerical simulations of the localized surface plasmonic resonances associated to multiple particles in terms of their separation distance.     

一种基于超声共振谱的低Q值材料共振频率提取方法

超声共振谱技术通过测量样本在超声激励下产生的固有共振频率来计算弹性参数,而共振频率的提取是整个测量过程的关键.低$Q$值(品质因数)材料由于其衰减特性,导致共振谱平缓并无法直观地从谱图上观察得到共振频率,为从中提取更为有效的共振频率, 本文提出了一种新的共振频率提取方法.采用经验模态分解法将材料频率响应自适应分解为有限个具有特殊振荡特性的固有模态函数分量,根据材料的超声共振谱先验信息选择具有共振频率特性的固有模态函数分量,并从中提取共振频率. 以短切纤维环氧树脂材料(仿骨材料, $Q \approx$25)为例, 通过实验与传统线性预测方法进行对比,计算弹性系数和工程模量. 实验结果表明新方法的计算效率高,对弱激发模态更为敏感,共振频率的匹配数量(26)多于传统方法(21)且满足5倍于弹性系数的估计要求,优化后的弹性模量更接近标准值.新方法可从低$Q$值材料平缓的频谱中提取数量足够且有效的共振频率,不仅有效提升了力学参数估计的可靠性,而且拓展了超声共振谱技术的应用范围.      

Multi-pulse jumping orbits and homoclinic trees in motion of a simply supported rectangular metallic plate

The global bifurcations in mode interaction of a simply supported rectangular metallic plate subjected to a transverse harmonic excitation are investigated with the case of the 1:1 internal resonance, the modulation equations representing the evolution of the amplitudes and phases of the interacting normal modes exhibit complex dynamics. The energy-phase method proposed by Haller and Wiggins is employed to analyze the global bifurcations for the rectangular metallic plate. The results obtained here indicate that there exist the Silnikov-type multi-pulse orbits homoclinic to certain invariant sets for the resonant case in both Hamiltonian and dissipative perturbations, which imply that chaotic motions may occur for this class of systems. Homoclinic trees which describe the repeated bifurcations of multi-pulse solutions are found. To illustrate the theoretical predictions, we present visualizations of these complicated structures and numerical evidence of chaotic motions.     

Wave generation on an interface by vortex disturbances in a shear flow

A linear problem of oscillations of an interface in a two-layer system, in which the upper layer is at rest and the lower layer has a constant velocity shear, is considered. The dynamic perturbations in the lower layer are represented as the sum of vortex and wave disturbances (disturbances with zero vorticity). It is shown that in the shear flow the evolution of the vortex disturbances with a nonsmooth or a singular initial vorticity distribution can result in the resonant excitation of waves on the interface. The occurrence of the resonance corresponds to the coincidence of the oscillation frequencies of the perturbations of both classes. In the absence of hydrodynamic instability of the shear flow, the resonant excitation can be one of the main mechanisms of wave generation in two-layer systems.

Resonant bound-free contributions to Thomson scattering of X-rays by warm dense matter

Recent calculations [Nilsen et al. arXiv:1212.5972] predict that contributions to the scattered photon spectrum from 3s and 3p bound states in chromium (Z = 24) at metallic density and T = 12 eV resonate below the respective bound-state thresholds. These resonances are shown to be closely related to continuum lowering, where 3d bound states in the free atom dissolve into a resonant l = 2 partial wave in the continuum. The resulting d-state resonance dominates contributions to the bound-free dynamic structure function, leading to the predicted resonances in the scattered X-ray spectrum. Similar resonant features are shown to occur in all elements in the periodic table between Ca and Mn (20 ≤ Z ≤ 25).

Nonlinear energy harvesting with dual resonant zones based on rotating system

An electromagnetic nonlinear energy harvester(NEH)based on a rotating system is proposed,of which the host system rotates at a constant speed and vibrates harmonically in the vertical direction.This kind of device exhibits several resonant phenomena due to the combinations of the rotating and the vibration frequencies of the host system as well as the cubic nonlinearity of the NEH.The governing equation of motion for the NEH is derived,and the dynamic responses and output power are investigated with the multiple scale method under the 1:1 primary and 2:1 superharmonic resonant conditions.The effects of system parameters including the nondimensional external frequency,the rotating speed,and the nonlinear stiffness on the responses of free vibration for the system are studied.The results of the primary resonance show that the responses exhibit not only the resonant characteristics but also the nonlinear dynamic characteristics such as the saddle-node(SN)bifurcation.The coexistence of multiple solutions and the varying trends of responses are verified with the direct numerical simulation.Moreover,the effects of system parameters on the average output power are investigated.The results of the analyses on the two resonant conditions indicate that the large power can be harvested in two resonant frequency bands.The effect of resonance on the output power is dominant for the 2:1 superharmonic resonance.Moreover,the results also show that introducing the nonlinearity can increase the value of the output power in large frequency bands and induce the occurence of new frequency bands to harvest the large power.The efficiency of the harvested power could be improved by the combined effects of the resonance as well as the nonlinearity of the NEH device.Suitable parameter conditions could help optimize the power harvesting in design.     

In-plane wave motion and resonance phenomena in periodically layered composites with a crack

This paper investigates the transmission and propagation of two-dimensional (2D) time-harmonic plane waves in periodically multilayered elastic composites with a strip-like crack. The total wave field in the composite structure is represented as a sum of the incident wave field determined by the transfer matrix method and the scattered wave field described by integral representations in terms of the Green’s matrices and the crack-opening-displacements. A numerical scheme is developed to compute the wave propagation characteristics and the crack-characterizing quantities. The effects of the crack location and size as well as the angle of wave incidence are investigated using the averaged crack-opening-displacements and the stress intensity factors. Special attention of the paper is devoted to resonance wave motion and wave localization phenomena in a stack of periodical elastic layers weakened by a single strip-like crack. Numerical results are presented and discussed to reveal the usual and the resonant wave transmission by using the power-density vector and the energy streamlines in the vicinity of the crack. Wave localization due to interior and interface cracks is analyzed by considering the energy captured by a crack, and resonance induced crack growth is also discussed.

Thermoelastic coupled modeling for a thermal bimorph actuator

This paper presents a theoretical thermoelastic coupled model for a thermal bimorph actuator driven by a harmonically varying thermal load in micro-electro-mechanical systems. The thermoelastic coupling, which arises from the coupling of the strain rate to the temperature field of the heat transport, is considered in this model. The frequency responses are simulated using the theorem of eigenmode expansion. The effects of thermoelastic coupling on the resonant frequency and the quality factor Q for each eigenmode resonance of the deflection are calculated and compared with the same effects resulted from air damping. It shows that for the example of an aluminum–polysilicon thermal bimorph actuator, the resonant frequencies are generally shifted downward with the order larger than that of air damping, whereas the influence of thermoelastic coupling on the Q is more significant than that of air damping under high vacuum level.
