The nonlinear dynamics are studied for a supported cylinder subjected to axial flow. A nonlinear model is presented for dynamics of the cylinder supported at both ends. The nonlinear terms considered here are the quadratic viscous force and the structural nonlinear force induced by the lateral motions of the cylinder. Using two-mode discretized equation, numerical simulations are carried out for the dynamical behavior of the cylinder to explain the flutter instability found in the experiment. The results of numerical analysis show that at certain value of flow velocity the system loses stability by divergence, and the new equilibrium (the buckled configuration) becomes unstable at higher flow leading to post-divergence flutter. The effect of the friction drag coefficients on the behavior of the system is investigated.

Understanding and prediction of the dynamics of slender flexible cylinders in axial flow is of interest for the design and safe operation of heat exchangers and nuclear reactors, specifically that of heat exchanger tubes, nuclear fuel elements, control rods, and monitoring tubes. In such fluid-structure interaction problems, the fluid forces acting on the flexible structure play a vital role in defining its dynamics. Therefore, a precise calculation of the coefficients associated to these forces, such as the longitudinal and normal viscous force coefficients, and base drag coefficient in the equation of motion is imperative. The present work is aimed at (i) calculating these force coefficients for a cantilevered slender flexible cylinder, fitted with an ogival end-piece, in axial flow and (ii) conducting experiments on the same system. In the calculation of these force coefficients, the parameters of the experimental system are used, so that the theoretically predicted dynamics would be representative of the actual physical system. These calculated force coefficients are then incorporated in the linear and nonlinear equations of motion and the predicted dynamics are compared with those of the experiments. The comparison shows good agreement between the theoretical and experimental results.

This paper investigates the cluster consensus of multi-agent systems (MASs) with general linear and nonlinear dynamics via intermittent adaptive pinning control, where each cluster has a virtual leader whose state can be sensed by only a small part of followers on some disconnected time intervals because of communication constraints. The communication topology is considered to be weakly connected, that is, it is not necessary to be in-degree balanced, strongly connected or contain a directed spanning tree. To realise the cluster consensus, a class of intermittent adaptive pinning control protocols is proposed according to difference that the agents receive information source. The pinning gains are designed to be intermittent adaptive and with an exponential convergence rate, which will effectively reduce communication costs, avoid the pinning gains being larger than those needed in practice. Meanwhile, it guarantees that the pinning gains quickly converge to steady value. Correspondingly, some sufficient consensus criteria are derived to guarantee that the agents in the same cluster asymptotically can reach consensus while the agents in different clusters can reach different consensus. Rigorous proofs are given by the aid of Lyapunov stability theory and matrix theory. Finally, a numerical simulation example is presented to validate the main results.
