Strongly Nonlinear Oscillator

A method of approximate potential is presented for the study of certain kinds of strongly nonlinear oscillators. This method is to express the potential for an oscillatory system by a polynomial of degree four such that the leading approximation may be derived in terms of elliptic functions. The advantage of present method is that it is valid for relatively large oscillations. As an application, the elapsed time of periodic motion of a strongly nonlinear oscillator with slowly varying parameters is studied in detail. Comparisons are made with other methods to assess the accuracy of the present method.

We study the dynamics of a semi-infinite linear chain of particles that is weakly coupled to a strongly nonlinear oscillator at its free end. We analyze families of localized standing waves situated inside the lower or upper attenuation zones of the linear chain, corresponding to energy predominantly confined in the nonlinear oscillator. These families of standing waves are generated due to resonant interactions between the chain and the nonlinear attachment. A scenario for the realization of energy pumping phenomena in the system under consideration is discussed, and is confirmed by direct numerical simulations of the chain-attachment dynamic interaction.

Strongly Nonlinear Oscillator

We study asymptotically the family of subharmonic responses of an essentially nonlinear oscillator forced by two closely spaced harmonics. By expressing the original oscillator in action-angle form, we reduce it to a dynamical system with three frequencies (two fast and one slow), which is amenable to a singular perturbation analysis. We then restrict the dynamics in neighborhoods of resonance manifolds and perform local bifurcation analysis of the forced subharmonic orbits. We find increased complexity in the dynamics as the frequency detuning between the forcing harmonics decreases or as the order of a secondary resonance condition increases. Moreover, we validate our asymptotic results by comparing them to direct numerical simulations of the original dynamical system. The method developed in this work can be applied to study the dynamics of strongly nonlinear (nonlinearizable) oscillators forced by multiple closely spaced harmonics; in addition, the formulation can be extended to the case of transient excitations.

Strongly Nonlinear Oscillator

A numerical method for finding the solution of Duffing-harmonic oscillator is proposed. The approach is based on hybrid functions approximation. The properties of hybrid functions that consist of block-pulse and Chebyshev cardinal functions are discussed. The associated operational matrices of integration and product are then utilized to reduce the solution of a strongly nonlinear oscillator to the solution of a system of algebraic equations. The method is easy to implement and computationally very attractive. The results are compared with the exact solution and results from several recently published methods, and the comparisons showed proper accuracy of this method.
