We present a study of passive but efficient vibration control, wherein a so-called nonlinear energy sink (NES) completely eliminates the limit cycle oscillations (LCOs) of a van der Pol oscillator. We first perform a parameter study in order to get overall understanding of responses with respect to parameters. Then, we establish a slow flow dynamics model to perform analytical study of the suppression mechanism which corresponds to classical nonlinear energy pumping, i.e., passive, broadband, and targeted energy transfer through 1:1 resonance capture. Utilizing the method of numerical continuation of equilibrium, we also study the bifurcation of the steady state solutions. It turns out that the system may have either subcritical or supercritical LCOs, and that for some parameter domain the LCOs are completely eliminated. This suggests applicability of the NES to vibration control in self-excited systems.

Siphoning is commonly associated with shunts, a treatment used in patients suffering from Hydrocephalus. Siphoning is known to have a negative effect on intracranial dynamics. In this paper, a model will be developed for the intracranial dynamics in the presence of siphoning based on the assumption of pulsatile intracranial dynamics as a forced non-linear van der Pol oscillator. This non-linear model is used to simulate how various degrees of siphoning can effect intracranial dynamics and create an understanding of painful side effects, such as vascular headaches. The model suggests that vascular headaches are due to an increase in the amplitude of arterial pulsations caused by the force exerted on the cranium by siphoning rather than due to volume shifts of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF).

This paper deals with the dynamics and active control of a driven multi-limit-cycle Van der Pol oscillator. The amplitude of the oscillatory states both in the autonomous and nonautonomous case are derived. The interaction between the amplitudes of the external excitation and the limit-cycles are also analyzed. The domain of the admissible values on the amplitude for the external excitation is found. The effects of the control parameter on the behavior of a driven multi-limit-cycle Van der Pol model are analyzed and it appears that with the appropriate selection of the coupling parameter, the quenching of chaotic vibrations takes place.

In this article the influence of friction R1, R2 on Van der Pol oscillator is considered. It turned out that the mentioned frictions decrease the amplitude of self – excited oscillations and they stabilize the equilibrium position of the self – excited system.

Abstract The asymptotic limit-cycle analysis of mathematical models for oscillating chemical reactions is presented. In this work, after a brief presentation of mathematical preliminaries applied to the biased Van der Pol oscillator, we consider a two-dimensional model of the Chlorine dioxide Iodine Malonic-Acid (CIMA) reactions and the three-dimensional and two-dimensional Oregonator models of the Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) reactions. Explicit analytical expressions are given for the relaxation-oscillation periods of these chemical reactions that are accurate within 5% of their numerical values. In the two-dimensional CIMA and Oregonator models, we also derive critical parameter values leading to canard explosions and implosions in their associated limit cycles.

Abstract We present a perturbation solution for a linear oscillator with a variable damping coefficient involving the limit cycle of the van der Pol equation (van der Pol 1926). This equation arises as the variational equation governing the stability of in-phase vibration in a pair of identical van der Pol oscillators with linear coupling. The van der Pol oscillator has served as the classic example of a limit cycle oscillator, and coupled limit cycle oscillators appear in mathematical models of self-excited systems ranging from tube rows in cross flow heat exchangers to arrays of stomates in plant leaves. As in many systems modeled by coupled oscillators, criteria for phase-locking or synchronization are of fundamental importance in understanding the dynamics. In this paper we study a simple but interesting problem consisting of a pair of identical van der Pol oscillators with linear diffusive coupling which corresponds, in the mechanical analogy, to a spring connecting the masses of the two oscillators. Intuition and earlier first-order analyses suggest that the spring will pull the two masses together causing stable in-phase locking. However, previous results of a relaxation limit study (Storti and Rand 1986) indicate that the in-phase mode is not always stable and suggest the existence of an additional stability boundary. To resolve the apparent discrepancy, we obtain a new periodic solution of the variational equation as a power series in ε, the small parameter in the sinusoidal van de Pol oscillator. This approach follows Andersen and Geer’s (1982) solution for the limit cycle of an isolated van der Pol oscillator. The coupling strength corresponding to the periodic solution of the variational equation defines an additional stability transition curve which has only been observed previously in the relaxation limit. We show that this transition curve, which provides a consistent connection between the sinusoidal and relaxation limits, is O(ε2) and could not have been delected in O(ε) analyses. We determine the analytical expression for this stability transition curve to O(ε31) and show very favorable agreement with numerical results we obtained using an Adams-Gear method.
