A new modification of He’s homotopy perturbation method for rapid convergence of nonlinear undamped oscillators

In this paper we present a new efficient modification of the homotopy perturbation method with x ³ force nonlinear undamped oscillators for the first time that will accurate and facilitate the calculations. The He’s homotopy perturbation method is modified by adding a term to linear operator depends on the equation and boundary conditions. We find that this modified homotopy perturbation method works very well for the wide range of time and boundary conditions for nonlinear oscillator. Only two or three iteration leads to high accuracy of the solutions. We then conduct a comparative study between the new modification and the homotopy perturbation method for strongly nonlinear oscillators. Numerical illustrations are investigated to show the accurate of the techniques. The new modified method accelerates the rapid convergence of the solution, reduces the error solution and increases the validity range. The new modification introduces a promising tool for many nonlinear problems.     

Construction of approximate periodic solutions to a modified van der Pol oscillator

A new iteration scheme is proposed and applied for the modified van der Pol oscillator. A simple and effective iteration procedure to search for the periodic solutions of the equation is given. This procedure is a powerful tool for the determination of the approximate frequencies and periodic solutions of the nonlinear differential equations. The solutions obtained using the present iteration procedure are in good agreement with the numerical integration obtained by a fourth order Runge–Kutta method, which shows the applicability of the procedure.     

Haar wavelet solutions of nonlinear oscillator equations

In this paper, we present a numerical scheme using uniform Haar wavelet approximation and quasilinearization process for solving some nonlinear oscillator equations. In our proposed work, quasilinearization technique is first applied through Haar wavelets to convert a nonlinear differential equation into a set of linear algebraic equations. Finally, to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method, it has been applied on three type of nonlinear oscillators namely Duffing, Van der Pol, and Duffing–van der Pol. The obtained responses are presented graphically and compared with available numerical and analytical solutions found in the literature. The main advantage of uniform Haar wavelet series with quasilinearization process is that it captures the behavior of the nonlinear oscillators without any iteration. The numerical problems are considered with force and without force to check the efficiency and simple applicability of method on nonlinear oscillator problems.     

Solution for an anti-symmetric quadratic nonlinear oscillator by a modified He’s homotopy perturbation method

In this paper He’s homotopy perturbation method has been adapted to calculate higher-order approximate periodic solutions for a nonlinear oscillator with discontinuity for which the elastic force term is an anti-symmetric and quadratic term. We find that He’s homotopy perturbation method works very well for the whole range of initial amplitudes, and the excellent agreement of the approximate frequencies and periodic solutions with the exact ones has been demonstrated and discussed. Just one iteration leads to high accuracy of the solutions with a maximal relative error for the approximate period of less than 0.73% for all values of oscillation amplitude, while this relative error is as low as 0.040% when the second iteration is considered. Comparison of the result obtained using this method with those obtained by the harmonic balance method reveals that the former is very effective and convenient.     

Frequency–energy plots of steady-state solutions for forced and damped systems,and vibration isolation by nonlinear mode localization

We study the structure of the periodic steady-state solutions of forced and damped strongly nonlinear coupled oscillators in the frequency–energy domain by constructing forced and damped frequency – energy plots (FEPs). Specifically, we analyze the steady periodic responses of a two degree-of-freedom system consisting of a grounded forced linear damped oscillator weakly coupled to a strongly nonlinear attachment under condition of 1:1 resonance. By performing complexification/averaging analysis we develop analytical approximations for strongly nonlinear steady-state responses. As an application, we examine vibration isolation of a harmonically forced linear oscillator by transferring and confining the steady-state vibration energy to the weakly coupled strongly nonlinear attachment, thereby drastically reducing its steady-state response. By comparing the nonlinear steady-state response of the linear oscillator to its corresponding frequency response function in the absence of a nonlinear attachment we demonstrate the efficacy of drastic vibration reduction through steady-state nonlinear targeted energy transfer. Hence, our study has practical implications for the effective passive vibration isolation of forced oscillators.     

Comparison of Energy Balance Period with Exact Period for Arising Nonlinear Oscillator Equations

In this paper, He’s energy balance method is applied to nonlinear oscillators. The new algorithm offers a promising approach by constructing a Hamiltonian for the nonlinear oscillator. We proved that the energy balance is very effective, convenient and does not require any linearization or small perturbation. In contradicts of the conventional methods, He’s Energy Balance method (HEBM) using just one iteration, leads us to high accuracy of solutions. Energy Balance method is very effective, convenient and adequately accurate to both linear and nonlinear problems in physics and engineering.     

Some new nonlinear wave solutions and their convergence for the (2+1)‐dimensional Broer–Kau–Kupershmidt equation

We use the bifurcation method of dynamical systems to study the (2+1)‐dimensional Broer–Kau–Kupershmidt equation. We obtain some new nonlinear wave solutions, which contain solitary wave solutions, blow‐up wave solutions, periodic smooth wave solutions, periodic blow‐up wave solutions, and kink wave solutions. When the initial value vary, we also show the convergence of certain solutions, such as the solitary wave solutions converge to the kink wave solutions and the periodic blow‐up wave solutions converge to the solitary wave solutions.

He, Limit cycle and bifurcation of nonlinear problems, Chaos Solitons Fractals 26 (2005) 827–833] is used to generate periodic solutions of van der Pol oscillator with a forcing term, forcing oscillator with quadratic type damping and van der Pol oscillator with excitation term. The comparison of the obtained results verifies its convenience and effectiveness.     

The iterative homotopy harmonic balance method for conservative Helmholtz-Duffing oscillators

An approach that the iterative homotopy harmonic balance method which incorporates salient features of both the parameter-expansion and the harmonic balance is presented to solve conservative Helmholtz-Duffing oscillators. Since the behaviors of the solutions in the positive and negative directions are quite different, the asymmetric equation is separated into two auxiliary equations. The auxiliary equations are solved by proposed method. The results show it works very well for the whole range of initial amplitudes in a variety of cases, and the excellent agreement of the approximate periods and periodic solutions with exact ones have been demonstrated and discussed. And, the proposed method is very simple in its principle and has great potential to be applied to other nonlinear oscillators.     

Bifurcation analysis of a simple 3D oscillator and chaos synchronization of its coupled systems

Tama?evi?ius et al. proposed a simple 3D chaotic oscillator for educational purpose. In fact the oscillator can be implemented very easily and it shows typical bifurcation scenario so that it is a suitable training object for introductory education for students. However, as far as we know, no concrete studies on bifurcations or applications on this oscillator have been investigated. In this paper, we make a thorough investigation on local bifurcations of periodic solutions in this oscillator by using a shooting method. Based on results of the analysis, we study chaos synchronization phenomena in diffusively coupled oscillators. Both bifurcation sets of periodic solutions and parameter regions of in-phase synchronized solutions are revealed. An experimental laboratory of chaos synchronization is also demonstrated.     

Asymptotic analysis and accurate approximate solutions for strongly nonlinear conservative symmetric oscillators

A new accurate iterative and asymptotic method is introduced to construct analytical approximate solutions to strongly nonlinear conservative symmetric oscillators. The method is based on applying a second-order expansion with the harmonic balance method and it excludes the requirement of solving a set of coupled nonlinear algebraic equations. Newton's iteration or the linearized model may be readily deduced by considering only the first-order terms in the model. According to this iterative approach, only Fourier series expansions of restoring force function, its first- and second-order derivatives for each iteration are required. It is concluded here that by only one single iteration, very brief and yet accurate analytical approximate solutions can be attained. Three physical examples are solved and accurate solutions are presented to illustrate the physics of the system and the effectiveness of the proposed asymptotic method.

Accurate analytical solutions to nonlinear oscillators by means of the Hamiltonian approach

The purpose of this paper is to apply the Hamiltonian approach to nonlinear oscillators. The Hamiltonian approach is applied to derive highly accurate analytical expressions for periodic solutions or for approximate formulas of frequency. A conservative oscillator always admits a Hamiltonian invariant, H , which stays unchanged during oscillation. This property is used to obtain approximate frequency–amplitude relationship of a nonlinear oscillator with high accuracy. A trial solution is selected with unknown parameters. Next, the Ritz–He method is used to obtain the unknown parameters. This will yield the approximate analytical solution of the nonlinear ordinary differential equations. In contrast with the traditional methods, the proposed method does not require any small parameter in the equation. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Replicate periodic windows in the parameter space of driven oscillators

In the bi-dimensional parameter space of driven oscillators, shrimp-shaped periodic windows are immersed in chaotic regions. For two of these oscillators, namely, Duffing and Josephson junction, we show that a weak harmonic perturbation replicates these periodic windows giving rise to parameter regions correspondent to periodic orbits. The new windows are composed of parameters whose periodic orbits have the same periodicity and pattern of stable and unstable periodic orbits already existent for the unperturbed oscillator. Moreover, these unstable periodic orbits are embedded in chaotic attractors in phase space regions where the new stable orbits are identified. Thus, the observed periodic window replication is an effective oscillator control process, once chaotic orbits are replaced by regular ones.     

Convergence for Fourier series solutions of the forced harmonic oscillator II

This paper compliments two recent articles by the author in this journal concerning solving the forced harmonic oscillator equation when the forcing is periodic. The idea is to replace the forcing function by its Fourier series and solve the differential equation term-by-term. Herein the convergence of such series solutions is investigated when the forcing function is bounded, piecewise continuous, and piecewise smooth. The series solution and its term-by-term derivative converge uniformly over the entire real line. The term-by-term differentiation produces a series for the second derivative that converges pointwise and uniformly over any interval not containing a jump discontinuity of the forcing function.     

Sine‐cosine wavelet method for fractional oscillator equations

Purpose In this article, a novel computational method is introduced for solving the fractional nonlinear oscillator differential equations on the semi‐infinite domain. The purpose of the proposed method is to get better and more accurate results. Design/methodology/approach The proposed method is the combination of the sine‐cosine wavelets and Picard technique. The operational matrices of fractional‐order integration for sine‐cosine wavelets are derived and constructed. Picard technique is used to convert the fractional nonlinear oscillator equations into a sequence of discrete fractional linear differential equations. Operational matrices of sine‐cosine wavelets are utilized to transformed the obtained sequence of discrete equations into the systems of algebraic equations and the solutions of algebraic systems lead to the solution of fractional nonlinear oscillator equations. Findings The convergence and supporting analysis of the method are investigated. The operational matrices contains many zero entries, which lead to the high efficiency of the method, and reasonable accuracy is achieved even with less number of collocation points. Our results are in good agreement with exact solutions and more accurate as compared with homotopy perturbation method, variational iteration method, and Adomian decomposition method. Originality/value Many engineers can utilize the presented method for solving their nonlinear fractional models.     

Wave propagation properties in oscillatory chains with cubic nonlinearities via nonlinear map approach

Free wave propagation properties in one-dimensional chains of nonlinear oscillators are investigated by means of nonlinear maps. In this realm, the governing difference equations are regarded as symplectic nonlinear transformations relating the amplitudes in adjacent chain sites (n, n + 1) thereby considering a dynamical system where the location index n plays the role of the discrete time. Thus, wave propagation becomes synonymous of stability: finding regions of propagating wave solutions is equivalent to finding regions of linearly stable map solutions. Mechanical models of chains of linearly coupled nonlinear oscillators are investigated. Pass- and stop-band regions of the mono-coupled periodic system are analytically determined for period-q orbits as they are governed by the eigenvalues of the linearized 2D map arising from linear stability analysis of periodic orbits. Then, equivalent chains of nonlinear oscillators in complex domain are tackled. Also in this case, where a 4D real map governs the wave transmission, the nonlinear pass- and stop-bands for periodic orbits are analytically determined by extending the 2D map analysis. The analytical findings concerning the propagation properties are then compared with numerical results obtained through nonlinear map iteration.     

Analytical approximate solutions to oscillation of a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field

This paper is concerned with analytical approximate solutions to dynamic oscillation of a current-carrying wire in a magnetic field generated by a fixed current-carrying conductor parallel to the wire. The wire is restrained to a fixed wall by linear elastic springs. The periodic oscillation solutions are obtained by generalizing the Newton-harmonic balance method. The procedure yields rapid convergence with respect to the “exact” solution obtained by numerical integration. In general, the results are valid for small as well as large oscillation amplitude. The method presented in this paper can be applied to other strongly nonlinear oscillators with more general restoring forces of rational form.     

Closed-loop suppression of chaos in nonlinear driven oscillators

Summary This paper discusses the suppression of chaos in nonlinear driven oscillators via the addition of a periodic perturbation. Given a system originally undergoing chaotic motions, it is desired that such a system be driven to some periodic orbit. This can be achieved by the addition of a weak periodic signal to the oscillator input. This is usually accomplished in open loop, but this procedure presents some difficulties which are discussed in the paper. To ensure that this is attained despite uncertainties and possible disturbances on the system, a procedure is suggested to perform control in closed loop. In addition, it is illustrated how a model, estimated from input/output data, can be used in the design. Numerical examples which use the Duffing-Ueda and modified van der Pol oscillators are included to illustrate some of the properties of the new approach.This work has been supported by CNPq (Brazil) under Grant 200597/90-6 and SERC (UK) under Grant GR/H 35286.
