Resonances in linear one-degree-of-freedom systems with piecewise-constant parameters

A technique based on the composition of elementary phase fluxes is proposed for investigating parametric resonance in systems with “large” perturbations, described by second-order linear differential equations with periodic piecewise-constant coefficients. A monodromy matrix is given and a parametric resonance criterion is indicated, which takes into account the possibility of multiple multipliers and the action of dissipative forces. When there is a two-stage dependence of the coefficients on time during one period, regions of parametric resonance are obtained for different types of linear mechanical systems with one degree of freedom.     

Instability of parametrically second- and third-subharmonic resonances governed by nonlinear Shrödinger equations with complex coefficients

A theoretical analysis of the parametric harmonic response of two resonant modes is made based on a cubic nonlinear system. The analysis based on the method of multiple scales. Two types of the modified nonlinear Schrödinger equations with complex coefficients are derived to govern the resonance wave. One of these equations contains the first derivatives in space for a complex-conjugate type as well as a linear complex-conjugate term that is valid in the second-harmonic resonance cases. The second parametric equation contains a complex-conjugate type which is valid at the third-subharmonic resonance case. Estimates of nonlinear coefficients are made. The resulting equations have an interesting in many dynamical and physical cases. Temporal modulational method is confirmed to discuss the stability behavior at both parametric second- and third-harmonic resonance cases. Furthermore, the Benjamin–Feir instability is discussed for the sideband perturbation. The instability behavior at the sharp resonance is examined and the existence of the instability is found.     

Stability study and control of helicopter blade flapping vibrations

The response of a two-degree-of-freedom, controlled, autoparametric system to harmonic excitations is studied and solved. The objective of this research is to investigate the effect of linear absorber on the vibrating system and the saturation control of a linear absorber to reduce vibrations due to rotor blade flapping motion. The method of multiple scale perturbation technique is applied to obtain the periodic response equation near the primary resonance in the presence of internal resonance of the system. The stability of the obtained numerical solution is investigated using both phase plane methods and frequency response equations. Variation of some parameters leads to the bending of the frequency response curves and hence to the jump phenomenon occurrence. The reported results are compared to the available published work.     

On the connectedness of the solution set to linear complementarity systems

This paper establishes sufficient conditions for the connectedness of nontrivial subsets of the solution set to linear complementarity systems with special structure. Connectedness may be important to investigate stability and sensitivity questions, parametric problems, and for extending a Lemke-type method to a new class of problems. Such a property may help in analyzing the structure of the feasible region by checking the explicitly given matrices of the resulting conditions. From the point of view of geometry, the question is how to analyze the combined geometrical object consisting of a Riemannian manifold, a pointed cone, and level sets determined by linear inequalities.This paper has been mainly prepared while the author was visiting the Department of Mathematics at the University of Pisa.

Nonlinear Mathieu equation and coupled resonance mechanism

The method of multiple-scales is used to determine a third-order solution for a cubic nonlinear Mathieu equation. The perturbation solutions are imposed on the so-called solvability conditions. Solvability conditions in the non-resonance case yield the standard Landau equation. Several types of a parametric Landau equation are derived in the neighborhood of five different resonance cases. These parametric Landau equations contain a parametric complex conjugate term or a parametric second-order complex conjugate term or a parametric complex conjugate term as well as a parametric second-order term. Necessary and sufficient conditions for stability are performed in each resonance case. Stability criteria correspond to each parametric Landau equation and are derived by linear perturbation. Stability criteria for the non-trivial steady-state response are discussed. The analysis leads to simultaneous resonance. Transition curves are performed in each case. Numerical calculations are made for some transition curves to illustrate the coupled resonance regions, where the induced stability tongues within the instability tongues are observed. The amplitude of the periodic coefficient of Mathieu equation plays a dual role in the stability criteria for nonlinear Mathieu equation.     

Complex-plane approach for the analysis of an externally excited system with autoparametric resonance

An autoparametric system with external excitation was examined by Nabergoj R, Tondl A, and Virag Z. (Chaos, Solitons & Fractals 1994;4:263–273). For investigating the semi-trivial and the nontrivial solution, a different approach in terms of complex-plane variables is here presented. It is proved that autoparametric resonance is initiated when semi-trivial solution becomes unstable. The trajectory of the system transforms from a straight line to an elliptic path. Within a certain interval of the excitation frequency, chaotic motion becomes possible.     

The theory of parametric oscillations

The correctness of the existing definitions of the parametric oscillations of linear and non-linear systems is discussed. The possibility of an erroneous choice of the mathematical parametric model instead of the autooscillatory model, connected with the existence in such systems of the same periodic solutions, is pointed out. Some non-local properties of parametric oscillations in Hamiltonian systems are established. It is shown, in particular, that stability regions are convex with respect to the frequency of the parametric excitation (i.e., all the points between the boundaries of neighbouring instability regions correspond to stable solutions). At the critical frequencies of parametric resonance the well-known Rayleigh and Zhuravlev theorems on the behaviour of the frequencies of natural oscillations when the stiffness and inertia changes are generalized. Some additional assertions on the limits of the first instability region for the Hill vector equations are established.     

Necessary and sufficient constraint qualifications for solvability of systems of infinite convex inequalities

In this paper we present constraint qualifications which completely characterize the Farkas–Minkowski and the locally Farkas–Minkowski convex (possibly infinite) inequality systems posed in topological vector spaces. The number of constraints and the dimension of the linear space are arbitrary (possibly infinite). The constraint qualifications considered in this paper are expressed in terms of the solvability of certain parametric convex (linear) systems and the uniform strong duality or the uniform min–max duality relative to the Lagrange (Haar) dual problems of suitable convex (linear) parametric optimization problems.     

A study of the stability of solutions of linear parabolic equations with nearly constant coefficients and small diffusion

We study the stability of the solutions of boundary value problems for a certain class of Petrovskii-parabolic systems with sufficiently small diffusion coefficients. The dimension of the set of critical cases in the stability problem turns out to be infinite. We develop an efficient algorithm for studying stability. As examples we consider parabolic boundary value problems with delay and rapidly oscillating coefficients, the problem of parametric resonance under a double-frequency perturbation, and problems with variable leading terms and variable domain of definition.

Direct and iterative methods for interval parametric algebraic systems producing parametric solutions

This paper deals with interval parametric linear systems with general dependencies. Motivated by the so‐called parameterized solution introduced by Kolev, we consider the enclosures of the solution set in a revised affine form. This form is advantageous to a classical interval solution because it enables us to obtain both outer and inner bounds for the parametric solution set and, thus, intervals containing the endpoints of the hull solution, among others. We propose two solution methods, a direct method called the generalized expansion method and an iterative method based on interval‐affine Krawczyk iterations. For the iterative method, we discuss its convergence and show the respective sufficient criterion. For both methods, we perform theoretical and numerical comparisons with some other approaches. The numerical experiments, including also interval parametric linear systems arising in practical problems of structural and electrical engineering, indicate the great usefulness of the proposed methodology and its superiority over most of the existing approaches to solving interval parametric linear systems.     

Nonlinear vibrations of offshore structures under random wave excitation

An account is given of some mathematical methods which have been used to analyse the response of offshore structures to random wave excitation. The analysis of nonlinear phenomena and the assessment of related nongaussian probability distributions are emphasized. The following problems are analysed in some depth: probability distributions for Morison-type wave loading; response near resonance of nonlinearly damped systems to random excitation; parametric resonance and instability of nonlinearly damped systems with randomly fluctuating restoring force coefficient. Solutions to each of these problem areas are illustrated by practical examples.     

On a case of resonance for nonlinear systems : PMM vol. 38, n 6, 1974, pp. 986–990

We examine the case of resonance for systems close to nonlinear systems, admitting of a parametric periodic solution. Among the eigenvalues of the matrix of the system's linear part there are zero and pure imaginary ones. We have proved (under certain conditions) the absence of a periodic solution for the original system for which the generating solution is trivial.     

Stabilization via parametric excitation of multi-dof statically unstable systems

The problem of re-stabilization via parametric excitation of statically unstable linear Hamiltonian systems is addressed. An n-degree-of-freedom dynamical system is considered, at rest in a critical equilibrium position, possessing a pair of zero-eigenvalues and n − 1 pairs of distinct purely imaginary conjugate eigenvalues. The response of the system to a small static load, making the zero eigenvalues real and opposite, simultaneous to a harmonic parametric excitation of small amplitude, is studied by the Multiple Scale perturbation method, and the stability of the equilibrium position is investigated. Several cases of resonance between the excitation frequency and the natural non-zero frequencies are studied, calling for standard and non-standard applications of the method. It is found that the parametric excitation is able to re-stabilize the equilibrium for any value of the excitation frequencies, except for frequencies close to resonant values, provided a sufficiently large excitation amplitude is enforced. Results are compared with those provided by a purely numerical approach grounded on the Floquet theory.

A closure procedure for the hierarchy of moment equations related to linear systems of ordinary differential equations with a random parametric excitation is introduced. A generalization of Pringsheim's theorem for continued fractions is used in a proof of the procedure convergence. The boundary function method for singular perturbation problems is applied to obtain asymptotic expansions for the moments of the solutions of such systems.     

Consistent Initialization of Sensitivity Matrices for a Class of Parametric DAE Systems

A class of parametric semi-explicit differential algebraic equation (DAE) systems up to index 2 is considered. It is well known that initial value problems with DAE systems do not have a solution for every initial value. The initial value has to be consistent. Therefore, a method for the calculation of consistent initial values for this class of systems is introduced. In addition, various applications need information about the dependency of the solution of an initial value problem with respect to given parameters. This question leads to a linear matrix DAE system, the sensitivity DAE system, for which consistent initial values have to be provided as well. An appropriate consistent initialization method based on the solution differentiability of parametric nonlinear optimization problems in combination with Newton's method is developed. An illustrative example shows the capability of the method.     

Finite-difference methods for solving loaded parabolic equations

Loaded partial differential equations are solved numerically. For illustrative purposes, a boundary value problem for a parabolic equation with various point loads is considered. By applying difference approximations, the problems are reduced to systems of algebraic equations of special structure, which are solved using a parametric representation involving solutions of auxiliary linear systems with tridiagonal matrices. Numerical results are presented and analyzed.     

Stochastic stability of coupled linear systems: a survey of methods and results

The analysis of dynamic systems subject to stochastic parametric excitation is important in a variety of branches of engineering and physics. For example, models of this type frequently occur in the analysis of linear continuous systems using modal decomposition. The random coupling or parametric excitation can, for example, model the influence of externally applied loads on the system parameters. In this paper we investigate the almost–sure stability properties of the sample trajectories of linear stochastic systems with parametric excitation.
