Energy harvesting in a Mathieu–van der Pol–Duffing MEMS device using time delay

This paper investigates quasi-periodic vibration-based energy harvesting in a delayed nonlinear MEMS device consisting of a delayed Mathieu–van der Pol–Duffing type oscillator coupled to a delayed piezoelectric coupling mechanism. We use the multiple scales method to approximate the quasi-periodic response and the related power output near the principal parametric resonance. The effect of time delay on the energy harvesting performance is studied. It is shown that for appropriate combination of time delay parameters, there exists an optimum range of excitation frequency beyond the resonance where quasi-periodic vibration-based energy harvesting is maximum. Numerical simulations are performed to confirm the analytical predictions.     

2:1 and 1:1 frequency-locking in fast excited van der Pol–Mathieu–Duffing oscillator

The frequency-locking area of 2:1 and 1:1 resonances in a fast harmonically excited van der Pol–Mathieu–Duffing oscillator is studied. An averaging technique over the fast excitation is used to derive an equation governing the slow dynamic of the oscillator. A perturbation technique is then performed on the slow dynamic near the 2:1 and 1:1 resonances, respectively, to obtain reduced autonomous slow flow equations governing the modulation of amplitude and phase of the corresponding slow dynamics. These equations are used to determine the steady state responses, bifurcations and frequency-response curves. Analysis of quasi-periodic vibrations is carried out by performing multiple scales expansion for each of the dependent variables of the slow flows. Results show that in the vicinity of both considered resonances, fast harmonic excitation can change the nonlinear characteristic spring behavior from softening to hardening and causes the entrainment regions to shift. It was also shown that entrained vibrations with moderate amplitude can be obtained in a small region near the 1:1 resonance. Numerical simulations are performed to confirm the analytical results.

Stochastic averaging method for estimating first-passage statistics of stochastically excited Duffing–Rayleigh–Mathieu system

The first-passage statistics of Duffing-Rayleigh- Mathieu system under wide-band colored noise excitations is studied by using stochastic averaging method. The motion equation of the original system is transformed into two time homogeneous diffusion Markovian processes of amplitude and phase after stochastic averaging. The diffusion process method for first-passage problem is used and the corresponding backward Kolmogorov equation and Pontryagin equation are constructed and solved to yield the conditional reliability function and mean first-passage time with suitable initial and boundary conditions. The analytical results are confirmed by Monte Carlo simulation.

Hopf bifurcation and spatio-temporal patterns in?delay-coupled van der Pol oscillators

In this paper, the dynamics of a pair of van der Pol oscillators with delayed velocity coupling is studied by taking the time delay as a bifurcation parameter. We first investigate the stability of the zero equilibrium and the existence of Hopf bifurcations induced by delay, and then study the direction and stability of the Hopf bifurcations. Then by using the symmetric bifurcation theory of delay differential equations combined with representation theory of Lie groups, we investigate the spatio-temporal patterns of Hopf bifurcating periodic oscillations. We find that there are different in-phase and anti-phase patterns as the coupling time delay is increased. The analytical theory is supported by numerical simulations, which show good agreement with the theory.     

Stability and bifurcation analysis of delay coupled Van der Pol–Duffing oscillators

In this paper, we aim to investigate the dynamics of a system of Van der Pol–Duffing oscillators with delay coupling. First, taking the time delay as a bifurcation parameter, the stability of the equilibrium, and the existence of Hopf bifurcation are investigated. Then using the center manifold reduction technique and normal form theory, we give the direction of the Hopf bifurcation. And then by means of the symmetric bifurcation theory for delay differential equations and the representation theory of groups, we claim the bifurcation periodic solution induced by time delay is antiphase locked oscillation. Finally, at the end of the paper, numerical simulations are carried out to support our theoretical analysis.     

Chaos disappearance in a piecewise linear Bonhoeffer–van der Pol dynamics with a bistability of stable focus and stable relaxation oscillation under weak periodic perturbation

This study elucidates the bifurcation structure causing chaos disappearance in a four-segment piecewise linear Bonhoeffer–van der Pol oscillator with a diode under a weak periodic perturbation. The parameter values of this oscillator are chosen such that stable focus and stable relaxation oscillation can coexist in close proximity in the phase plane if no perturbation is applied. Chaos disappearance occurs through a previously unreported novel and unconventional bifurcation mechanism. To rigorously analyze these phenomena, the diode in this oscillator is assumed to operate as a switch. In this case, the governing equation is represented as a constraint equation, and the Poincaré map is constructed as an one-dimensional map. By analyzing the Poincaré map, we clearly demonstrate why the stable relaxation oscillation that exists when no perturbation is applied disappears via chaotic oscillation when an extremely weak perturbation is applied.

Slow passage through canard explosion and mixed-mode oscillations in the forced Van der Pol’s equation

This paper investigates the emergence of mixed-mode oscillations (MMOs) in the forced Van der Pol’s equation. It is found that the MMOs studied here can be classified as a slow passage through canard explosion, which is different from the usual fast-slow bursters. We first consider the external forcing as a control parameter and study its influence on the Van der Pol’s equation with constant forcing (VPCF). Then we briefly discuss the famous canard phenomenon in VPCF. The results of these analysis, together with the “transformed phase diagram,” are applied to the forced Van der Pol’s equation, which shows that the canard explosion and the external forcing plays an important role in the generation of MMOs, that is, the MMOs are created since the external forcing slowly and periodically visits the rest and spiking areas of VPCF.

Stabilization in a two-dimensional chemotaxis-Navier–Stokes system

This paper deals with an initial-boundary value problem for the system $$\left\{ \begin{array}{llll} n_t + u\cdot\nabla n &=& \Delta n -\nabla \cdot (n\chi(c)\nabla c), \quad\quad & x\in\Omega, \, t > 0,\\ c_t + u\cdot\nabla c &=& \Delta c-nf(c), \quad\quad & x\in\Omega, \, t > 0,\\ u_t + \kappa (u\cdot \nabla) u &=& \Delta u + \nabla P + n \nabla\phi, \qquad & x\in\Omega, \, t > 0,\\ \nabla \cdot u &=& 0, \qquad & x\in\Omega, \, t > 0,\end{array} \right.$$ which has been proposed as a model for the spatio-temporal evolution of populations of swimming aerobic bacteria. It is known that in bounded convex domains ${\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2}$ and under appropriate assumptions on the parameter functions χ, f and ?, for each ${\kappa\in\mathbb{R}}$ and all sufficiently smooth initial data this problem possesses a unique global-in-time classical solution. The present work asserts that this solution stabilizes to the spatially uniform equilibrium ${(\overline{n_0},0,0)}$ , where ${\overline{n_0}:=\frac{1}{|\Omega|} \int_\Omega n(x,0)\,{\rm d}x}$ , in the sense that as t→∞, $$n(\cdot,t) \to \overline{n_0}, \qquad c(\cdot,t) \to 0 \qquad \text{and}\qquad u(\cdot,t) \to 0$$ hold with respect to the norm in ${L^\infty(\Omega)}$ .

Eventually vanished solutions of a forced Liénard system

In this paper, we aim to find eventually vanished solutions, a special class of bounded solutions which tend to 0 as t → ±∞）, to a Lienard system with a time-dependent force. Since it is not a Hamiltonian system with small perturbations, the well-known Melnikov method is not applicable to the determination of the existence of eventually vanished solutions. We use a sequence of periodically forced systems to approximate the considered system, and find their periodic solutions. Difficulties caused by the non- Hamiltonian form are overcome by applying the Schauder＇s fixed point theorem. We show that the sequence of the periodic solutions has an accumulation giving an eventually vanished solution of the forced Lienard system.
