Fast parametrically excited van der Pol oscillator with time delay state feedback

We investigate the effect of a fast vertical parametric excitation on self-excited vibrations in a delayed van der Pol oscillator. We use the method of direct partition of motion to derive the main autonomous equation governing the slow dynamic in the vicinity of the trivial equilibrium. Then, we apply the multiple scales method on this slow dynamic to derive a second-order slow flow system describing the modulation of slow dynamic. In particular we analyze the slow flow to obtain the effect of a fast excitation on the regions in parameter space where self-excited vibrations can be eliminated. We have shown that in the case where the time delay and the feedback gains are imposed, fast vertical parametric excitation can be an alternative to suppress undesirable self-excited vibrations in a delayed van der Pol oscillator.     

The Response of a Parametrically Excited van der Pol Oscillator to a Time Delay State Feedback

We investigate the parametric resonance of a van der Pol oscillator under state feedback control with a time delay. Using the asymptotic perturbation method, we obtain two slow-flow equations on the amplitude and phase ofthe oscillator. Their fixed points correspond to a periodic motion forthe starting system and we show parametric excitation-response andfrequency-response curves. We analyze the effect of time delay andfeedback gains from the viewpoint of vibration control and use energyconsiderations to study the existence and characteristics of limit cycles of the slow-flow equations. A limit cycle corresponds to a two-periodmodulated motion for the van der Pol oscillator. Analytical results areverified with numerical simulations. In order to exclude the possibilityof quasi-periodic motion and to reduce the amplitude peak of theparametric resonance, we find the appropriate choices for the feedbackgains and the time delay.     

随机干扰与随机参数激励联合作用下的Hopf分叉

本文研究van der Pol-Duffing型的非线性振子在随机干扰和随机参数联合作用下的Hopf分叉现象。本文所得结果证实了当系统处在于Hopf分叉点附近时,对系统的参数的变化具有敏感性。在研究过程中,我们利用Markov扩散过程逼近系统的随机响应,得到了沿稳定矩的概率1稳定和矩稳定的条件。对于非线性振子,我们得到了振幅过程的稳态概论密度函数。研究发现,确定性系统的Hopf分叉点在随机参数作用下具有漂移现象,这种漂移是由系统的性质所决定的,当分叉点为超临界的,分叉点向前漂移;而当分叉点为亚临界时,这种漂移是向后的。当系统处在外部随机干扰作用下时,系统出现非零响应。另外我们发现,稳态矩的分叉与其阶数无关。     

Study of mixed-mode oscillations in a parametrically excited van der Pol system

This paper investigates the effects of slowly varying parametric excitation on the dynamics of van der Pol system. Periodic bifurcation delay behaviors are exhibited when the parametric excitation slowly passes through Hopf bifurcation value of the controlled van der Pol system. The first bifurcation delay behavior relies on initial conditions, while the bifurcation delay behaviors that follow the first one are immune to initial conditions. These bifurcation delay behaviors result in a hysteresis loop between the spiking attractor and the rest state, which is responsible for the generation of mixed-mode oscillations. Then an approximate calculation for the number of spikes in each cluster of repetitive spiking of mixed-mode oscillations is explored based on bifurcation delay behaviors. Theoretical results agree well with numerical simulations.     

Nonlinear dynamics of self-, parametric,and externally excited oscillator with time delay: van der Pol versus Rayleigh models

The regular and chaotic vibrations of a nonlinear structure subjected to self-, parametric, and external excitations acting simultaneously are analysed in this study. Moreover, a time delay input is added to the model to control the system response. The frequency-locking phenomenon and transition to quasi-periodic oscillations via Hopf bifurcation of the second kind (Neimark–Sacker bifurcation) are determined analytically by the multiple time scales method up to the second-order perturbation. Approximate solutions of the quasi-periodic motion are determined by a second application of the multiple time scales method for the slow flow, and then, slow–slow motion is obtained. The similarities and differences between the van der Pol and Rayleigh models are demonstrated for regular, periodic, and quasi-periodic oscillations, as well as for chaotic oscillations. The control of the structural response, and modifications of the resonance curves and bifurcation points by the time delay signal are presented for selected cases.

     

Bifurcation and pull-in voltages of primary resonance of electrostatically actuated SWCNT cantilevers to include van der Waals effect

In this work the voltage response of primary resonance of electrostatically actuated single wall carbon nano tubes (SWCNT) cantilevers over a parallel ground plate is investigated. Three forces act on the SWCNT cantilever, namely electrostatic, van der Waals and damping. While the damping is linear, the electrostatic and van der Waals forces are nonlinear. Moreover, the electrostatic force is also parametric since it is given by AC voltage. Under these forces the dynamics of the SWCNT is nonlinear parametric. The van der Waals force is significant for values less than 50 nm of the gap between the SWCNT and the ground substrate. Reduced order model method (ROM) is used to investigate the system under soft excitation and weak nonlinearities. The voltage-amplitude response and influences of parameters are reported for primary resonance (AC near half natural frequency).

Research on parametric resonance in a stochastic van der Pol oscillator under multiple time delayed feedback control

Analytical derivations and numerical calculations are employed to gain insight into the parametric resonance of a stochastically driven van der Pol oscillator with delayed feedback. This model is the prototype of a self-excited system operating with a combination of narrow-band noise excitation and two time delayed feedback control. A slow dynamical system describing the amplitude and phase of resonance, as well as the lowest-order approximate solution of this oscillator is firstly obtained by the technique of multiple scales. Then the explicit asymptotic formula for the largest Lyapunov exponent is derived. The influences of system parameters, such as magnitude of random excitation, tuning frequency, gains of feedback and time delays, on the almost-sure stability of the steady-state trivial solution are discussed under the direction of the signal of largest Lyanupov exponent. The non-trivial steady-state solution of mean square response of this system is studied by moment method. The results reveal the phenomenon of multiple solutions and time delays induced stabilization or unstabilization, moreover, an appropriate modulation between the two time delays in feedback control may be acted as a simple and efficient switch to adjust control performance from the viewpoint of vibration control. Finally, theoretical analysis turns to a validation through numerical calculations, and good agreements can be found between the numerical results and the analytical ones.     

Non-linear oscillator limit cycle analysis using a time transformation approach

A method is presented for the analysis of limit cycle behavior of autonomous non-linear oscillators characterized by second order ordinary differential equations containing a small parameter. The method differs from the classical perturbation methods in that the dependent variable is not expanded in a power series in the small parameter. Rather, a new independent variable is sought such that in its domain the motion is simple harmonic. Use of this time transformation technique to generate limit cycle phase portrait, amplitude and period is presented. We show results of the application of the method to the van der Pol oscillator, to an oscillator with quadratic damping, and to a modified van der Pol oscillator which is statically unstable in the limit of small motion.     

Frequency response of primary resonance of electrostatically actuated CNT cantilevers

This paper deals with electrostatically actuated carbon nanotube (CNT) cantilever over a parallel ground plate. Three forces act on the CNTs cantilever, namely electrostatic, van der Waals, and damping. The van der Waals force is significant for values of 50 nm or less of the gap between the CNT and the ground plate. As both forces electrostatic and van der Waals are nonlinear, and the CNTs electrostatic actuation is given by AC voltage, the CNT undergoes nonlinear parametric dynamics. The methods of multiple scales and reduced order model (ROM) are used to investigate the system under soft AC near half natural frequency of the CNT and weak nonlinearities. The frequency–amplitude response and damping, voltage, and van der Waals effects on the response are reported. It is showed that only five terms ROM predicts and accurately predicts the pull-in instability and the saddle-node bifurcation, respectively.     

Dynamic analysis of piezoelectric energy harvester under combination parametric and internal resonance: a theoretical and experimental study

In this work, theoretical and experimental analysis of a piezoelectric energy harvester with parametric base excitation is presented under combination parametric resonance condition. The harvester consists of a cantilever beam with a piezoelectric patch and an attached mass, which is positioned in such a way that the system exhibits 1:3 internal resonance. The generalized Galerkin’s method up to two modes is used to obtain the temporal form of the nonlinear electromechanical governing equation of motion. The method of multiple scales is used to reduce the equations of motion into a set of first-order differential equations. The fixed-point response and the stability of the system under combination parametric resonance are studied. The multi-branched non-trivial response exhibits bifurcations such as turning point and Hopf bifurcations. Experiments are performed under various resonance conditions. This study on the parametric excitation along with combination and internal resonances will help to harvest energy for a wider frequency range from ambient vibrations.

     

Effects of excitation probability distribution on system responses

For a system subjected to a random excitation, the probability distribution of the excitation may affect behaviors of the system responses. Such effects are investigated for a variety of dynamical systems, including a linear oscillator, an oscillator of cubic non-linearity in both damping and stiffness, and a non-linear oscillator of the van der Pol type. The random excitations are assumed to be stationary stochastic processes, sharing the same spectral density, but with different probability distributions. Each excitation process is generated by passing a Brownian motion process through a non-linear filter, which is governed by an Ito stochastic differential equation. Monte Carlo simulations are carried out to obtain the transient and stationary properties of the system response in each case. It is shown that, under different excitations, the transient behaviors of the system response can be markedly different. The differences tend to reduce, however, as time of exposure to the excitations increases and the system reaches the stationary state.     

Vibration control for the primary resonance of the van der Pol oscillator by a time delay state feedback

We investigate the primary resonance of an externally excited van der Pol oscillator under state feedback control with a time delay. By means of the asymptotic perturbation method, two slow-flow equations on the amplitude and phase of the oscillator are obtained and external excitation-response and frequency-response curves are shown. We discuss how vibration control and high amplitude response suppression can be performed with appropriate time delay and feedback gains. Moreover, energy considerations are used in order to investigate existence and characteristics of limit cycles of the slow-flow equations. A limit cycle corresponds to a two-period modulated motion for the van der Pol oscillator. We demonstrate that appropriate choices for the feedback gains and the time delay can exclude the possibility of modulated motion and reduce the amplitude peak of the primary resonance. Analytical results are verified with numerical simulations.     

2:1 and 1:1 frequency-locking in fast excited van der Pol–Mathieu–Duffing oscillator

The frequency-locking area of 2:1 and 1:1 resonances in a fast harmonically excited van der Pol–Mathieu–Duffing oscillator is studied. An averaging technique over the fast excitation is used to derive an equation governing the slow dynamic of the oscillator. A perturbation technique is then performed on the slow dynamic near the 2:1 and 1:1 resonances, respectively, to obtain reduced autonomous slow flow equations governing the modulation of amplitude and phase of the corresponding slow dynamics. These equations are used to determine the steady state responses, bifurcations and frequency-response curves. Analysis of quasi-periodic vibrations is carried out by performing multiple scales expansion for each of the dependent variables of the slow flows. Results show that in the vicinity of both considered resonances, fast harmonic excitation can change the nonlinear characteristic spring behavior from softening to hardening and causes the entrainment regions to shift. It was also shown that entrained vibrations with moderate amplitude can be obtained in a small region near the 1:1 resonance. Numerical simulations are performed to confirm the analytical results.     

Nonlinear vibrations of a shell-shaped workpiece during high-speed milling process

This paper is focused on nonlinear dynamics of a shell-shaped workpiece during high speed milling. The shell-shaped workpiece is modeled as a double-curved cantilevered shell subjected to a cutting force with time delay effects. Equations of motion are derived by using the Hamilton principle based on the classical shell theory and von Karman strain-displacement relation. The resulting nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced to a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system by applying the Galerkin approach. The averaging method is used to obtain four-dimensional averaged equations for the case of foundational parametric resonance and 1:2 internal resonance. Using a numerical method, the dynamics of the cantilevered shell-shaped workpiece is studied under time-delay effects, parametric excitation, and forcing excitation. It is found that time-delay parameters have great impact on chaotic motion. With increasing amplitude of forcing and parametric excitations, the shell-shaped workpiece exhibits different dynamic behavior.

Vibration control for parametrically excited Liénard systems

We apply a new vibration control method for time delay non-linear oscillators to the principal resonance of a parametrically excited Liénard system under state feedback control with a time delay. Using the asymptotic perturbation method, we obtain two slow flow equations on the amplitude and phase. Their fixed points correspond to limit cycles for the Liénard system. Vibration control and high-amplitude response suppression can be performed with appropriate time delay and feedback gains. Using energy considerations, we investigate existence and characteristics of limit cycles of the slow flow equations. A limit cycle corresponds to a two-period quasi-periodic modulated motion for the starting system and in order to reduce the amplitude peak of the parametric resonance and to exclude the existence of two-period quasi-periodic motion, we find the appropriate choices for the feedback gains and the time delay.     

Energy harvesting in a Mathieu–van der Pol–Duffing MEMS device using time delay

This paper investigates quasi-periodic vibration-based energy harvesting in a delayed nonlinear MEMS device consisting of a delayed Mathieu–van der Pol–Duffing type oscillator coupled to a delayed piezoelectric coupling mechanism. We use the multiple scales method to approximate the quasi-periodic response and the related power output near the principal parametric resonance. The effect of time delay on the energy harvesting performance is studied. It is shown that for appropriate combination of time delay parameters, there exists an optimum range of excitation frequency beyond the resonance where quasi-periodic vibration-based energy harvesting is maximum. Numerical simulations are performed to confirm the analytical predictions.

Based on the invariance principle of differential equations, the system is lead to desirable periodic orbit or chaotic state (synchronization) with different control techniques. Numerical simulations are provided to validate the proposed method.
