Parametric identification of nonlinear systems using multiple trials

It is observed that the harmonic balance (HB) method of parametric identification of nonlinear system may not give right identification results for a single test data. A multiple-trial HB scheme is suggested to obtain improved results in the identification, compared with a single sample test. Several independent tests are conducted by subjecting the system to a range of harmonic excitations. The individual data sets are combined to obtain the matrix for inversion. This leads to the mean square error minimization of the entire set of periodic orbits. It is shown that the combination of independent test data gives correct results even in the case where the individual data sets give wrong results.

Determination of in situ parameters of sandy soils for off-road vehicle mobility

This study focuses on the development of a methodology for the determination of some in situ parameters for off-road vehicle mobility on sandy soils. The stress field in the vicinity of and at the interface between a wedge and soil was determined by solving the stress equations using the method of characteristics. The governing equations were solved numerically by using backward finite difference method. The proposed method allows the prediction of any two of the in situ soil parameters δ, φ, and γ (respectively, the interfacial friction angle between the material of a wedge penetrometer and the soil, the internal friction angle, and the unit weight of the soil), given the value of any one of them and the results of penetration tests of two different apex angle wedges. The predictions and the measured values are in agreement.

Non-linear vibrations and frequency response analysis of piezoelectrically driven microcantilevers

Microcantilevers have recently received widespread attentions due to their extreme applicability and versatility in both biological and non-biological applications. Along this line, this paper undertakes the non-linear vibrations of a piezoelectrically driven microcantilever beam as a common configuration in many scanning probe microscopy and nanomechanical cantilever biosensor systems. A part of the microcantilever beam surface is covered by a piezoelectric layer (typically ZnO), which acts both as an actuator and sensor. The bending vibrations of the microcantilever beam are studied considering the inextensibility condition and the coupling between electrical and mechanical properties in the piezoelectric materials. The non-linear terms appear in the form of quadratic expression due to presence of piezoelectric layer, and cubic form due to geometrical non-linearities. The Galerkin approximation is then utilized to discretize the equations of motion. In addition, the method of multiple scales is applied to arrive at the closed form solution for the fundamental natural frequency of the system. An experimental setup consisting of a commercial piezoelectric microcantilever attached on the stand of a state-of-the-art microsystem analyzer for non-contact vibration measurement is utilized to verify the theoretical developments. It is found that the experimental results and theoretical findings are in good agreement, which demonstrates that the non-linear modeling framework could provide a better dynamic representation of the microcantilever than the previous linear models. Due to microscale nature of the system, excitation amplitude plays an important role since even a small change in the amplitude of excitation can lead to significant vibrations and frequency shift.     

Transient gas flow simulation using an Adaptive Method of LinesSimulation d'écoulements dans un gazoduc par la méthode adaptative de lignes

Designing natural gas pipelines to safely and efficiently handle unsteady flows, requires knowledge of pressure drop, flowrate and temperature distribution throughout the system. The accurate prediction of these parameters is essential in order to achieve optimum cumulative deliverability, and safe and reliable operation. An Adaptive Method of Lines algorithm is formulated for the solution of Euler system of equations, which fully simulates slow and fast transients. Two test cases present the improvement of the numerical solution from grid adaptation. Good results are obtained both for slow and fast transients simulations proving that the suggested numerical procedure is appropriate for such predictions. To cite this article: E. Tentis et al., C.

On averaged and normal form equations

The method of ayeraging has long been an important method for the analysis of nonlinear systems. One method using normal forms has more recently become a tool in applied mathematics. Both methods convert systems of ordinary differential equations to simpler equations by using a sequence of change of variables. This study can be interpreted as a local analysis in that it treats equations that are nonlinear perturbations of linear equations. We show that the two methods are essentially equivalent.This work has been supported by the National Science Foundation, Grant No. NSF/MEA 8310966. Deceased.
