Nonlinear stability analysis of a clamped rod carrying electric current

This paper is devoted to the analysis of the nonlinear stability of a clamped rod carrying electric current in the magnetic field which is produced by the current flowing in a pair of inifinitely long parallel rigid wires. The natural state of the rod is in the plane of the wires and is equidistant from them. Firstly under the assumption of spatial deformation, the governing equations of the problem are derived, and the linearized problem and critical currents are discussed. Secondly, it is proved that the buckled states of the rod are always in planes. Finally, the global responses of the bifurcation problem of the rod are computed numerically and the distributions of the deflections, axial forces and bending moments are obtained. The results show that the buckled states of the rod may be either supercritical or subcritical, depending on the distancz between the rod and the wires. Furthermore, it is found that there exists a limit point on the branch solution of the supercritical buckled state. This is distinctively different from the buckled state of the elastic compressive rods.Project supported by the Foundation of the Natural Science of China and Gansu Province

Steady state motions of shallow arch under periodic force with 1∶2 internal resonance on the plane of physical parameters

The bifurcation dynamics of shallow arch which possesses initial deflection under periodic excitation for the case of 1∶2 internal resonance is studied in this paper. The whole parametric plane is divided into several different regions according to the types of motions; then the distribution of steady state motions of shallow arch on the plane of physical parameters is obtained. Combining with numerical method, the dynamics of the system in different regions, especially in the Hopf bifurcation region, is studied in detail. The rule of the mode interaction and the route to chaos of the system is also analysed at the end.

Stability of an extensible rotating rod

The stability of a rotating, linearly elastic, extensibte rod against deflection is analysed. It is shown that the critical rotation speed is determined by the lowest eigenvalue of the linearized equations of equilibrium. The critical speed turns out to be independent of the extensibility of the rod. Load and shape imperfections change the form of the bifurcation diagram, they generate a universal unfolding of the bifurcation of the perfect rod. The numerical calculation of the deflection of the perfect rod show that the extensibility of the rod tends to increase the deflection.     

Buckling of a twisted and compressed rod supported by Cardan joints

We consider the problem of determining the stability boundary of an elastic rod supported by Cardan joints at both ends. The rod is loaded by a compressive force and a couple. The constitutive equations of the rod take into account the compressibility of the rod axis. The stability boundary is determined by the bifurcation points of a system of eight nonlinear first order differential equations obtained by using suitable dependent variables. The type of bifurcation is examined depending on the compressibility. By numerical integration of a system of ten nonlinear first order differential equations the post-critical shape of the rod is determined.     

ROBUST CONTROL OF PERIODIC BIFURCATION SOLUTIONS

The topological bifurcation diagrams and the coefficients of bifurcation equation were obtained by C-L method. According to obtained bifurcation diagrams and combining control theory, the method of robust control of periodic bifurcation was presented, which differs from generic methods of bifurcation control. It can make the existing motion pattern into the goal motion pattern. Because the method does not make strict requirement about parametric values of the controller, it is convenient to design and make it. Numerical simulations verify validity of the method.     

Eine allgemeine Theorie der Stabilität von Gleichgewichtszuständen bei Stäben

Übersicht Unter Beachtung von drei Zuständen eines Stabes mit beliebiger Form der Zeritrallinie, nämlich des spannungslosen Ausgangszustandes, des Grundverformungszustandes unmittelbar vor der Verzweigung des Gleichgewichts und des hierzu infinitesimalen Nachbarzustandes, wird eine lineare Theorie räumlicher Verzweigungsprobleme hergeleitet. Für den Fall des ideal linear elastischen Stabes werden drei Beispiele vorgeführt. Das erste ist der ursprünglich gerade Stab unter Druck und Biegung. Hier wird der Grundzustand als infinitesimal dem Ausgangszustand benachbart angenommen. Als zweites wird der ursprünglich gerade Stab unter Druck und Torsion behandelt. Hier wird ein Grundzustand mit endlichen Verformungen betrachtet. Im dritten Beispiel wird am Fall des ebenen, gebogenen Bogens mit beliebiger Achse die Vorgehensweise bei einer Vernachlässigbarkeit der Verformungen des Grundzustandes demonstriert. Insgesamt ergeben sich durchweg Aussagen, die über die der bekannten klassischen Resultate hinausgehen.

Summary Three states of a rod with arbitrary shape of the center line are considered: the initial stress-free state, the fundamental state before the bifurcation of equilibrium, and the state in an infinitesimal neighbourhood. This leads to a linear theory of stability for spatial bifurcation problems. In the case of the ideal elastic rod three examples are treated. The first one is the initially straight rod unter bending and pressure. In this case the fundamental state is considered to be infinitesimally close to the initial state. The second example is the straight rod under torsion and pressure. Here the fundamental state has finite deformations before the bifurcation. In the third example, the plane arch in bending, the deformation of the fundamental state is neglected. In all cases one gets results which are free of contradictions and more general than the classical ones.

A note for analysis of thermo-mechanical contact problems

A discussion about the bifurcation and non-uniqueness of solutions in the analysis of thermo-mechanical contact problems with initial gap is given. Without loss of generality, a mechanical contact problem coupled with steady heat transfer is studied and an example of non-uniqueness of solutions caused by the thermo-mechanical mechanism is presented. The important work is that the non-uniqueness of solutions, which is different from that found in the analysis of the traditional frictional contact problems, is studied in detail. The possible oscillation and non-convergence problems in the iteraction process of the numerical computation are discussed, and an enhanced algorithm is put forward to overcome the difficulties.

Bifurcation in two-dimensional neural network model with delay

A kind of 2-dimensional neural network model with delay is considered. By analyzing the distribution of the roots of the characteristic equation associated with the model, a bifurcation diagram was drawn in an appropriate parameter plane. It is found that a line is a pitchfork bifurcation curve. Further more, the stability of each fixed point and existence of Hopf bifurcation were obtained. Finally, the direction of the Hopf bifurcation and the stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions were determined by using the normal form method and centre manifold theory.

Codimension two bifurcation of a vibro-bounce system

A three-degree-of-freedom vibro-bounce system is considered. The disturbed map of period one single-impact motion is derived analytically. A center manifold theorem technique is applied to reduce the Poincaré map to a three-dimensional one, and the normal form map associated with Hopf-flip bifurcation is obtained. Dynamical behavior of the system, near the point of codimension two bifurcation, is investigated by using qualitative analysis and numerical simulation. It is found that near the point of Hopf-flip bifurcation there exists not only Hopf bifurcation of period one single-impact motion, but also Hopf bifurcation of period two double-impact motion. The results from simulation show that there exists an interesting torus doubling bifurcation near the codimension two bifurcation. The torus doubling bifurcation makes the quasi-periodic attractor associated with period one single-impact motion transform to the other quasi-periodic attractor represented by two attracting closed circles. The torus bifurcation is qualitatively different from the typical torus doubling bifurcation occurring in the vibro-impact systems. Different routes from period one single-impact motion to chaos are observed by numerical simulation.The project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (10172042, 50475109) and the Natural Science Foundation of Gansu Province Government of China (ZS-031-A25-007-Z (key item))

Buckling of a twisted and compressed rod

We consider the problem of determining the stability boundary for an elastic rod under thrust and torsion. The constitutive equations of the rod are such that both shear of the cross-section and compressibility of the rod axis are considered. The stability boundary is determined from the bifurcation points of a single nonlinear second order differential equation that is obtained by using the first integrals of the equilibrium equations. The type of bifurcation is determined for parameter values. It is shown that the bifurcating branch is the branch with minimal energy. Finally, by using the first integral, the solution for one specific dependent variable is expressed in terms of elliptic integrals. The solution pertaining to the complete set of equilibrium equations is obtained by numerical integration.

Bifurcation and universal unfolding for a rotating shaft with unsymmetrical stiffness

The 1/2 subharmonic resonance bifurcation and universal unfolding are studied for a rotating shaft with unsymmetrical stiffness. The bifurcation behavior of the response amplitude with respect to the detuning parameter was studied for this class of problems by Xiao et al. Obviously, it is highly important to research the bifurcation behavior of the response amplitude with respect to the unsymmetry of stiffness for this problem. Here, by means of the singularity theory, the bifurcation and universal unfolding of amplitude with respect to the unsymmetrical stiffness parameter are discussed. The results indicate that it is a high codimensional bifurcation problem with codimension 5, and the universal unfolding is given. From the mechanical background, we study four forms of two parameter unfoldings contained in the universal unfolding. The transition sets in the parameter plane and the bifurcation diagrams are plotted. The results obtained in this paper show rich bifurcation phenomena and provide some guidance for the analysis and design of dynamic buckling experiments of this class of system, especially, for the choice of system parameters.

Bifurcation of flow and mass transport in a curved blood vessel

A numerical analysis of flow and concentration fields of macromolecules in a, slightly curved blood vessel was carried out. Based on these results, the effect of the bifurcation of a flow on the mass transport in a curved blood vessel was discussed. The macromolecules turned out to be easier to deposit in the inner part of the curved blood vessel near the critical Dean number. Once the Dean number is higher than the critical number, the bifurcation of the flow appears. This bifurcation can prevent macromolecules from concentrating in the inner part of the curved blood vessel. This result is helpful for understanding the possible correlations between the blood dynamics and atherosclerosis.
