Analysis of the Vibrations of Flexible Discrete-Continuous One-Dimensional Systems with Nonpotential Deformation Characteristics

An approach is proposed to solve dynamic problems for discrete-continuous flexible one-dimensional systems with nonpotential deformation characteristics. The approach is based on a generalized stationarity principle. The solution algorithm employs cubic spline functions. A numerical example demonstrates the capabilities of this approach in determining the loads and displacements in such a system under external influence__________Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 2, pp. 68–74, February 2005.     

Mixed variational principle in elasticity theory and canonical systems of equations

The paper proposes a modification of the mixed variational principle from which stationarity conditions are derived in the form of a mixed system of equations resolved for the first derivatives of the displacement and stress components acting in a plane perpendicular to one of the coordinate axes. The variational principle allows decreasing the dimension of the problem of elasticity thus reducing the system of equations to a canonical form. The modified mixed principle helps immediately obtain a canonical system of equations for various applied theories. This possibility is demonstrated with the example of the Timoshenko theory of plates __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 43, No. 5, pp. 55–62, May 2007.     

Kronecker product and a new matrix form of Lagrangian equations with multipliers for constrained multibody systems

The automatic derivation of motion equations is an important problem of multibody system dynamics. Firstly, an overview of the matrix calculus related to Kronecker product of two matrices is presented. A new matrix form of Lagrangian equations with multipliers for constrained multibody systems is then developed to demonstrate the usefulness of Kronecker product of two matrices in the study of dynamics of multibody systems. Finally, the equations of motion of mechanisms are derived using the proposed matrix form of Lagrangian equations as application examples.     

Non-smooth model and numerical analysis of a friction driven structure for piezoelectric motors

In this contribution, typical friction driven structures are summarized and presented considering the mechanical structures and operation principles of different types of piezoelectric motors. A two degree-of-freedom dynamic model with one unilateral frictional contact is built for one of the friction driven structures. Different contact regimes and the transitions between them are identified and analyzed. Numerical simulations are conducted to find out different operation modes of the system concerning the sequence of contact regimes in one steady state period. The influences of parameters on the operation modes and corresponding steady state characteristics are also explored. Some advice are then given in terms of the design of friction driven structures and piezoelectric motors.

四维超混沌系统Hopf分岔分析与反控制

对超混沌系统进行分岔反控制的研究已成为当前一个重要研究方向,常采用线性控制器实现反控制。首先,对一个四维超混沌系统的Hopf分岔特性进行了分析,利用高维分岔理论推导出分岔特性与参数之间的关系式,以此判断系统的分岔类型。然后,设计一个由线性与非线性组合成的混合控制器对系统进行分岔反控制,控制参数取值不同时,系统会呈现出不同的分岔特性。通过分析得出,调控线性控制器参数可以使系统Hopf分岔提前或延迟发生;同时,调控混合控制器的两个控制参数,可以改变系统Hopf分岔特性,实现分岔反控制。
