Potential method of integration for solving the equations of mechanical systems

This paper is intended to apply a potential method of integration to solving the equations of holonomic and nonholonomic systems. For a holonomic system, the differential equations of motion can be written as a system of differential equations of first order and its fundamental partial differential equation is solved by using the potential method of integration. For a nonholonomic system, the equations of the corresponding holonomic system are solved by using the method and then the restriction of the nonholonomic constraints on the initial conditions of motion is added.     

Refractivity estimations from an angle-of-arrival spectrum

This paper addresses the probability of atmospheric refractivity estimation by using field measurements at an array of radio receivers in terms of angle-of-arrival spectrum.Angle-of-arrival spectrum information is simulated by the ray optics model and refractivity is expressed in the presence of an ideal tri-linear profile.The estimation of the refractivity is organized as an optimization problem and a genetic algorithm is used to search for the optimal solution from various trial refractivity profiles.Theoretical analysis demonstrates the feasibility of this method to retrieve the refractivity parameters.Simulation results indicate that this approach has a fair anti-noise ability and its accuracy performance is mainly dependent on the antenna aperture size and its positions.     

Measuring vibration by using fiber Bragg grating and demodulating it by blazed grating

A method of measuring vibration by using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and demodulating the spectrum by blazed grating is introduced. The sensor system is made of a simple supported beam with a FBG adhered to its upper surface. A blazed grating is used to demodulate the changing spectrum that is got from the sensor system, and a line charge-coupled device (CCD) is used to accept the diffraction spectrum. Through analyzing the number of the CCD's pixels, we can get the amplitude of vibration and the change of the temperature. The experimental results show that the vibration amplitude of the exciter matches the detected signal under the stable frequency. The temperature shift and vibration signal are also successfully separated.     

Design and multistability analysis of five-value memristor-based chaotic system with hidden attractors

A five-value memristor model is proposed, it is proved that the model has a typical hysteresis loop by analyzing the relationship between voltage and current. Then, based on the classical Liu–Chen system, a new memristor-based four-dimensional(4D) chaotic system is designed by using the five-value memristor. The trajectory phase diagram, Poincare mapping, bifurcation diagram, and Lyapunov exponent spectrum are drawn by numerical simulation. It is found that, in addition to the general chaos characteristics, the system has some special phenomena, such as hidden homogenous multistabilities, hidden heterogeneous multistabilities, and hidden super-multistabilities. Finally, according to the dimensionless equation of the system, the circuit model of the system is built and simulated. The results are consistent with the numerical simulation results, which proves the physical realizability of the five-value memristor-based chaotic system proposed in this paper.     

A transient process observation method based on the non-homogeneous Poisson process model

The current-mode-counting method is a new approach to observing transient processes,especially in transient nuclear fusion,based on the non-homogeneous Poisson process(NHPP)model.In this paper,a new measurement process model of the pulsed radiation field produced by transient nuclear fusion is built based on the NHPP.A simulated measurement is performed using the model,and the current signal from the detector is obtained by simulation based on Poisson process thinning.The neutron time spectrum is reconstructed and is in good agreement with the theoretical value,with its maximum error of a characteristic parameter less than 2.3%.Verification experiments were carried out on a CPNG-6 device at the China Institute of Atomic Energy,with a detection system with a nanosecond response time.The experimental charge amplitude spectra are in good agreement with those obtained by the traditional counting mode,and the characteristic parameters of the time spectrum are in good agreement with the theoretical values.This shows that the current-mode-counting method is effective for the observation of transient nuclear fusion processes.     

First Integrals and Integral Invariants of Relativistic Birkhoffian Systems

For a relativistic Birkhoflan system, the first integrals and the construction of integral invariants are studied. Firstly, the cyclic integrals and the generalized energy integral of the system are found by using the perfect differential method. Secondly, the equations of nonsimultaneous variation of the system are established by using the relation between the simultaneous variation and the nonsimultaneous variation. Thirdly, the relation between the first integral and the integral invariant of the system is studied, and it is proved that, using a t~rst integral, we can construct an integral invarlant of the system. Finally, the relation between the relativistic Birkhoflan dynamics and the relativistic Hamilton;an dynamics is discussed, and the first integrals and the integral invariants of the relativistic Hamiltonian system are obtained. Two examples are given to illustrate the application of the results.     

Complex dynamic behaviors in hyperbolic-type memristor-based cellular neural network

This paper presents a new hyperbolic-type memristor model,whose frequency-dependent pinched hysteresis loops and equivalent circuit are tested by numerical simulations and analog integrated operational amplifier circuits.Based on the hyperbolic-type memristor model,we design a cellular neural network(CNN)with 3-neurons,whose characteristics are analyzed by bifurcations,basins of attraction,complexity analysis,and circuit simulations.We find that the memristive CNN can exhibit some complex dynamic behaviors,including multi-equilibrium points,state-dependent bifurcations,various coexisting chaotic and periodic attractors,and offset of the positions of attractors.By calculating the complexity of the memristor-based CNN system through the spectral entropy(SE)analysis,it can be seen that the complexity curve is consistent with the Lyapunov exponent spectrum,i.e.,when the system is in the chaotic state,its SE complexity is higher,while when the system is in the periodic state,its SE complexity is lower.Finally,the realizability and chaotic characteristics of the memristive CNN system are verified by an analog circuit simulation experiment.     

Low group velocity in a photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguide

A two-dimensional photonic crystal coupled-cavity waveguide is designed and optimized, the transmission spectrum is calculated by using the finite-difference time-domain method, and the group velocity of c/1856 is obtained. To our knowledge, this value of group velocity is the lowest group velocity in a photonic crystal waveguide calculated from its transmission spectrum so far. The result is confirmed by the photonic band structure calculated by using the plane wave expansion method, and it is found that the photonic crystal waveguide modes in a photonic band structure are in accordance with those in the transmission spectrum by using the finite-difference time-domain method. The mechanism of slow light in the coupled-cavity waveguide of photonic crystal is analysed.

Universal form of the power spectrum of the aero-optical aberration caused by the supersonic turbulent boundary layer

Based on the measurement of one-dimensional （1D） optical path difference （OPD） of the supersonic turbulent bound- ary layer, an analytical form for the power spectrum of the two-dimensional （2D） OPD is obtained with its structure function and under the locally homogeneous isotropic assumption. The universality of this spectrum is argued, and its validity is checked by the comparison with experimental result. The potential applications of this model in theoretical and numerical studies are emphasized. Another contribution of this work is around the application of correlation function to analyzing the statistics of OPD. Based on our results and other results published elsewhere, we show that the OPD is often not stationary, and one should be cautious about using this tool.

The two-stage dynamics in the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam problem: from regular to diffusive behavior

A numerical and analytical study of the relaxation to equilibrium of both the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) α-model and the integrable Toda model, when the fundamental mode is initially excited, is reported. We show that the dynamics of both systems is almost identical on the short term, when the energies of the initially unexcited modes grow in geometric progression with time, through a secular avalanche process. At the end of this first stage of the dynamics, the time-averaged modal energy spectrum of the Toda system stabilizes to its final profile, well described, at low energy, by the spectrum of a q-breather. The Toda equilibrium state is clearly shown to describe well the long-living quasi-state of the FPU system. On the long term, the modal energy spectrum of the FPU system slowly detaches from the Toda one by a diffusive-like rising of the tail modes, and eventually reaches the equilibrium flat shape. We find a simple law describing the growth of tail modes, which enables us to estimate the time-scale to equipartition of the FPU system, even when, at small energies, it becomes unobservable.     

Extremely selective modal oscillation of random lasing induced by strong multiple scattering

We report on a new physical aspect of random lasing, an extremely selective modal oscillation by using a two-dimensional calculation model. The developed model consists of two theoretical subsystems, two-dimensional scattering model for describing multiple scattering process and rate equation model for describing lasing process. Using this model, we show how emission spectrum behaves as the scattering state of photons inside the system changes. It is shown that specific and strong modal oscillation takes place in a closed loop path of emitted photons, efficiently supported by the background multiple scattering. With the increase of multiple scattering events around the closed loop path, the system starts to oscillate with an extremely strong mode without any ASE (amplified spontaneous emission) noise.     

Experimental study of thermal noise caused by an inhomogeneously distributed loss

The thermal fluctuation of a mechanical system with an inhomogeneously distributed loss was measured to prove the invalidity of the normal-mode expansion method which is commonly used to calculate the thermal noise of mechanical oscillators. The measured spectrum is inconsistent with the modal expansion model, while they agree well with an evaluation obtained by applying the fluctuation-dissipation theorem to the measured mechanical response. These are the first experimental results which show that mode expansion is invalid.

A modal disturbance estimator for vibration suppression in nonlinear flexible structures

This paper presents a control strategy for the suppression of vibration due to unknown disturbance forces in large, nonlinear flexible structures. The control action proposed, based on the modal approach, consists of two contributions. The first is the well-known Independent Modal-Space Control, which increases system damping and improves its behavior close to the resonance frequencies. The second is a disturbance estimator, which calculates the modal components of the external forces acting on the system and compensates for them using actuator forces. The system modal coordinates, required by both logics, are estimated through a modal state observer.The proposed control logic is tested on a flexible boom. The paper reports the numerical and experimental results both for the linear and nonlinear (large motion) boom configuration.

Experimental modal substructuring to estimate fixed-base modes from tests on a flexible fixture

Fixed boundary conditions are often difficult if not impossible to simulate experimentally, but they are important to consider in many applications. In principle, modal substructuring or impedance coupling approaches can be used to predict the fixed base modes of a system from tests where the system has some other boundary condition if the motion at the connection point can be measured, but this approach can be highly sensitive to imperfections in the experimental measurements. This work presents two alternatives that reduce the sensitivity to experimental errors, capitalizing on recent works where additional degrees of freedom are used to improve the robustness of substructure uncoupling. The system of interest is tested while mounted on a stiff fixture, where some modes of the fixture inevitably interact with those of the system of interest. The modes of the system–fixture assembly are extracted using a modal test and then a modal substructuring approach is used to apply constraints to eliminate the motion of the fixture. Two types of constraints are proposed, one based on the modes of the fixture and the other on a singular value decomposition of the fixture motion that was observed during the test. Neither approach requires an estimate of the displacements or rotations at the points where the system of interest is connected to the fixture. The methods are validated by applying them to experimental measurements from a simple test system meant to mimic a flexible satellite on a stiff shaker table. A finite element model of the subcomponents was also created and the method is applied to its modes in order to separate the effects of measurement errors and modal truncation. The proposed method produces excellent predictions of the first several modes of the fixed-base structure, so long as modal truncation is minimized. The proposed approach is also applied to experimental measurements from a wind turbine blade mounted in a stiff frame and found to produce reasonable results.     

Vibration analysis of drillstrings with self-excited stick-slip oscillations

Drillstring vibration is one of the major causes for a deteriorated drilling performance. Field experience revealed that it is crucial to understand the complex vibrational mechanisms experienced by a drilling system in order to better control its functional operation and improve its performance. Sick-slip oscillations due to contact between the drilling bit and formation is known to excite severe torsional and axial vibrations in the drillstring. A dynamic model of the drillstring including the drillpipes and drillcollars is formulated. The equation of motion of the rotating drillstring is derived using Lagrangian approach in conjunction with the finite element method. The model accounts for the torsional-bending inertia coupling and the axial-bending geometric nonlinear coupling. In addition, the model accounts for the gyroscopic effect, the effect of the gravitational force field, and the stick-slip interaction forces. Explicit expressions of the finite element coefficient matrices are derived using a consistent mass formulation. The generalized eigenvalue problem is solved to determine modal transformations, which are invoked to obtain the reduced-order modal form of the dynamic equations. The developed model is integrated into a computational scheme to calculate time-response of the drillstring system in the presence of stick-slip excitations.
