The Dynamics of the Autowave Front in a Model of Urban Ecosystems

A nonlinear singularly perturbed system of parabolic equations in a two-dimensional domain is considered. The system can be used to simulate the motion of an autowave front in a model of the evolution of urban ecosystems in the case of an inhomogeneous medium whose parameters vary with time. An asymptotic analysis of the problem is performed using methods of the theory of contrast structures. An asymptotic approximation of a front-type solution of the zero and first orders is obtained.

On the separation of fast and slow motions in mechanical systems with high-frequency modulation of the dissipation coefficient

Dynamics of a model mechanical system with ‘fast and strong’ oscillations of the damping coefficient has been analyzed by Fidlin (2005) [6]. He has performed the asymptotic analysis of the equation of motion of this system to conclude that these oscillations produce variation in its effective stiffness. The present paper continues analysis of dynamics of the system in the regimes of motion treated by Fidlin as well as in those left out in his asymptotic solution. The results are compared with the results of the solution of the classical Mathieu equation, which features fast oscillations in the stiffness of a system. The influence of stiffness and damping modulations on the stability of motion of corresponding oscillators is studied. Several engineering applications modeled by the system with oscillations of the damping coefficient are introduced. Analysis of motion of this system exemplifies how the method of direct separation of motions (Blekhman (2000) [7]) can be applied for solving equations with fast oscillating terms depending on the velocities. Some features of the application of the method of direct separation of motions in this case and in the similar ones are highlighted.     

Metriplectic framework for dissipative magneto-hydrodynamics

The metriplectic framework, which allows for the formulation of an algebraic structure for dissipative systems, is applied to visco-resistive Magneto-Hydrodynamics (MHD), adapting what had already been done for non-ideal Hydrodynamics (HD). The result is obtained by extending the HD symmetric bracket and free energy to include magnetic field dynamics and resistive dissipation. The correct equations of motion are obtained once one of the Casimirs of the Poisson bracket for ideal MHD is identified with the total thermodynamic entropy of the plasma. The metriplectic framework of MHD is shown to be invariant under the Galileo Group. The metriplectic structure also permits us to obtain the asymptotic equilibria toward which the dynamics of the system evolves. This scheme is finally adapted to the two-dimensional incompressible resistive MHD, that is of major use in many applications.     

Fourier's law based on microscopic dynamics

While Fourier's law is empirically confirmed for many substances and over an extremely wide range of thermodynamic parameters, a convincing microscopic derivation still poses difficulties. With current machines, the solution to Newton's equations of motion can be obtained with high precision and for a reasonably large number of particles. For simplified model systems, one thereby arrives at a deeper understanding of the microscopic basis for Fourier's law. We report on recent, and not so recent, advances.

Analytic-numerical description of asymptotic solutions of a Cauchy problem in a neighborhood of singularities for a linearized system of shallow-water equations

S. Yu. Dobrokhotov, B. Tirozzi, S. Ya. Sekerzh-Zenkovich, A. I. Shafarevich, and their co-authors suggested new effective asymptotic formulas for solving a Cauchy problem with localized initial data for multidimensional linear hyperbolic equations with variable coefficients and, in particular, for a linearized system of shallow-water equations over an uneven bottom in their cycle of papers. The solutions are localized in a neighborhood of fronts on which focal points and self-intersection points (singular points) occur in the course of time, due to the variability of the coefficients. In the present paper, a numerical realization of asymptotic formulas in a neighborhood of singular points of fronts is presented in the case of the system of shallow-water equations, gluing problems for these formulas together with formulas for regular domains are discussed, and also a comparison of asymptotic solutions with solutions obtained by immediate numerical computations is carried out.     

A numerical algorithm for viscous incompressible interfacial flows

We present a new algorithm to numerically simulate two-dimensional viscous incompressible flows with moving interfaces. The motion is updated in time by using the backward difference formula through an iterative procedure. At each iteration, the pseudo-spectral technique is applied in the horizontal direction. The resulting semi-discretized equations constitute a boundary value problem in the vertical coordinate which is solved by decoupling growing and decaying solutions. Numerical tests justify that this method achieves fully second-order accuracy in both the temporal variable and vertical coordinate. As an application of this algorithm, we study the motion of Stokes waves in the presence of viscosity. Our numerical results are consistent with the recently published asymptotic solution for Stokes waves in slightly viscous fluids.     

Flexural and transversal wave motion in homogeneous isotropic thermoelastic plates by using asymptotic method

The present investigation is concerned with the flexural and transversal wave motion in an infinite, transversely isotropic, thermoelastic plate by asymptotic method. The governing equations for the flexural and transversal motions have been derived from the system of three-dimensional dynamical equations of linear theory of coupled thermoelasticity. The asymptotic operator plate model for free vibrations; both flexural and transversal, in a homogenous thermoelastic plate leads to fifth degree and cubic polynomial secular equations, respectively, that governs frequency and phase velocity of various possible modes of wave propagation at all wavelengths. All the coefficients of differential operator have been expressed as explicit functions of the material parameters. The velocity dispersion equations for the flexural and transversal wave motion have been deduced from the three-dimensional analog of Rayleigh-Lamb frequency equation for thermoelastic plate waves. The approximations for long and short waves and expression for group velocity have also been derived. The thermoelastic Rayleigh-Lamb frequency equations for the considered plate are expanded in power series in order to obtain polynomial frequency and velocity dispersion relations whose equivalence is established with that of asymptotic method. The dispersion curves for phase velocity, group velocity and attenuation coefficient of various flexural and transversal wave modes are shown graphically for aluminum-epoxy material elastic and thermoelastic plates.     

Bifurcation and Stability Analysis of the Equilibrium States in Thermodynamic Systems in a Small Vicinity of the Equilibrium Values of Parameters

The dynamic behavior of thermodynamic system, described by one order parameter and one control parameter, in a small neighborhood of ordinary and bifurcation equilibrium values of the system parameters is studied. Using the general methods of investigating the branching (bifurcations) of solutions for nonlinear equations, we performed an exhaustive analysis of the order parameter dependences on the control parameter in a small vicinity of the equilibrium values of parameters, including the stability analysis of the equilibrium states, and the asymptotic behavior of the order parameter dependences on the control parameter (bifurcation diagrams). The peculiarities of the transition to an unstable state of the system are discussed, and the estimates of the transition time to the unstable state in the neighborhood of ordinary and bifurcation equilibrium values of parameters are given. The influence of an external field on the dynamic behavior of thermodynamic system is analyzed, and the peculiarities of the system dynamic behavior are discussed near the ordinary and bifurcation equilibrium values of parameters in the presence of external field. The dynamic process of magnetization of a ferromagnet is discussed by using the general methods of bifurcation and stability analysis presented in the paper.     

On the definition of the natural frequency of oscillations in nonlinear large rotation problems

Computational multibody system algorithms allow for performing eigenvalue analysis at different time points during the simulation to study the system stability. The nonlinear equations of motion are linearized at these time points, and the resulting linear equations are used to determine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the system. In the case of linear systems, the system eigenvalues remain the same under a constant coordinate transformation; and zero eigenvalues are always associated with rigid body modes, while nonzero eigenvalues are associated with non-rigid body motion. These results, however, cannot in general be applied to nonlinear multibody systems as demonstrated in this paper. Different sets of large rotation parameters lead to different forms of the nonlinear and linearized equations of motion, making it necessary to have a correct interpretation of the obtained eigenvalue solution. As shown in this investigation, the frequencies associated with different sets of orientation parameters can differ significantly, and rigid body motion can be associated with non-zero oscillation frequencies, depending on the coordinates used. In order to demonstrate this fact, the multibody system motion equations associated with the system degrees of freedom are presented and linearized. The resulting linear equations are used to define an eigevalue problem using the state space representation in order to account for general damping that characterizes multibody system applications. In order to demonstrate the significant differences between the eigenvalue solutions associated with two different sets of orientation parameters, a simple rotating disk example is considered in this study. The equations of motion of this simple example are formulated using Euler angles, Euler parameters and Rodriguez parameters. The results presented in this study demonstrate that the frequencies obtained using computational multibody system algorithms should not in general be interpreted as the system natural frequencies, but as the frequencies of the oscillations of the coordinates used to describe the motion of the system.     

Bifurcations and loss of orbital stability in nonlinear viscoelastic beam arrays subject to parametric actuation

The collective dynamic response of microbeam arrays is governed by nonlinear effects, which have not yet been fully investigated and understood. This work employs a nonlinear continuum-based model in order to investigate the nonlinear dynamic behavior of an array of N nonlinearly coupled micro-electromechanical beams that are parametrically actuated. Investigations focus on the behavior of small size arrays in the one-to-one internal resonance regime, which is generated for low or zero DC voltages. The dynamic equations of motion of a two-element system are solved analytically using the asymptotic multiple-scales method for the weakly nonlinear system. Analytically obtained results are verified numerically and complemented by a numerical analysis of a three-beam array. The dynamic responses of the two- and three-beam systems reveal coexisting periodic and aperiodic solutions. The stability analysis enables construction of a detailed bifurcation structure, which reveals coexisting stable periodic and aperiodic solutions. For zero DC voltage only quasi-periodic and no evidence for the existence of chaotic solutions are observed. This study of small size microbeam arrays yields design criteria, complements the understanding of nonlinear nearest-neighbor interactions, and sheds light on the fundamental understanding of the collective behavior of finite-size arrays.     

Analytical description of the thermomechanical deformation of a crystal

A metallic single crystal is considered as a thermodynamic system interacting with a surrounding medium by mechanical and thermal forms of motion in an irreversible process. The equations determining the process are obtained, taking account of the changes in structure and thermal conductivity of the crystal, for which new concepts of mathematical expectation and additional stress are introduced.     

Social influencing and associated random walk models: Asymptotic consensus times on the complete graph

We investigate consensus formation and the asymptotic consensus times in stylized individual- or agent-based models, in which global agreement is achieved through pairwise negotiations with or without a bias. Considering a class of individual-based models on finite complete graphs, we introduce a coarse-graining approach (lumping microscopic variables into macrostates) to analyze the ordering dynamics in an associated random-walk framework. Within this framework, yielding a linear system, we derive general equations for the expected consensus time and the expected time spent in each macro-state. Further, we present the asymptotic solutions of the 2-word naming game and separately discuss its behavior under the influence of an external field and with the introduction of committed agents.

The Pearcey Process

The extended Airy kernel describes the space-time correlation functions for the Airy process, which is the limiting process for a polynuclear growth model. The Airy functions themselves are given by integrals in which the exponents have a cubic singularity, arising from the coalescence of two saddle points in an asymptotic analysis. Pearcey functions are given by integrals in which the exponents have a quartic singularity, arising from the coalescence of three saddle points. A corresponding Pearcey kernel appears in a random matrix model and a Brownian motion model for a fixed time. This paper derives an extended Pearcey kernel by scaling the Brownian motion model at several times, and a system of partial differential equations whose solution determines associated distribution functions. We expect there to be a limiting nonstationary process consisting of infinitely many paths, which we call the Pearcey process, whose space-time correlation functions are expressible in terms of this extended kernel.
