This paper deals with stability problems of linear gyroscopic systems Mx¨+Gx˙+Kx=0 with finite or infinite degrees-of-freedom, where the system matrices or operators depend smoothly on several real parameters. Explicit formulas for the behavior of eigenvalues under a change of parameters are obtained. It is shown that the bifurcation (splitting) of double eigenvalues is closely related to the stability, flutter, and divergence boundaries in the parameter space. Normal vectors to these boundaries are derived using only information at a boundary point: eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and generalized eigenvectors, as well as first derivatives of the system matrices (or operators) with respect to parameters. These results provide simple and constructive stability and instability criteria. The presented theory is exemplified by two mechanical problems: a rotating elastic shaft carrying a disk, and an axially moving tensioned beam.

In most parametrically excited systems, stability boundaries cross each other at several points to form closed unstable subregions commonly known as “instability pockets.” The first aspect of this study explores some general characteristics of these instability pockets and their structural modifications in the parametric space as damping is induced in the system. Second, the possible destabilization of undamped systems due to addition of damping in parametrically excited systems has been investigated. The study is restricted to single degree-of-freedom systems that can be modeled by Hill and quasi-periodic (QP) Hill equations. Three typical cases of Hill equation, e.g., Mathieu, Meissner, and three-frequency Hill equations, are analyzed. State transition matrices of these equations are computed symbolically/analytically over a wide range of system parameters and instability pockets are observed in the stability diagrams of Meissner, three-frequency Hill, and QP Hill equations. Locations of the intersections of stability boundaries (commonly known as coexistence points) are determined using the property that two linearly independent solutions coexist at these intersections. For Meissner equation, with a square wave coefficient, analytical expressions are constructed to compute the number and locations of the instability pockets. In the second part of the study, the symbolic/analytic forms of state transition matrices are used to compute the minimum values of damping coefficients required for instability pockets to vanish from the parametric space. The phenomenon of destabilization due to damping, previously observed in systems with two degrees-of-freedom or higher, is also demonstrated in systems with one degree-of-freedom.

The stability and dynamics of an axially moving unidirectional plate partially immersed in a liquid and subjected to a nonlinear aerodynamic excitation are investigated. The method of singular functions is adopted to study the dynamic characteristics of the unidirectional plates with discontinuous characteristics. Nonlinearities due to large-amplitude plate motions are considered by using the classical nonlinear thin plate theory, with allowance for the effect of viscous structural damping. The velocity potential and Bernoulli's equation are used to describe the fluid pressure acting on the unidirectional plate. The effect of fluid on the vibrations of the plate may be equivalent to added mass of the plate. The formulation of added mass is obtained from kinematic boundary conditions of the plate–fluid interfaces. The system is discretized by Galerkin's method while a model involving two degrees of freedom, is adopted. Attention is focused on the behavior of the system in the region of dynamic instability, and several motions are found by numerical simulations. The effects of the moving speed and some other parameters on the dynamics of the system are also investigated. It is shown that chaotic motions can occur in this system in several certain regions of parameter space.

Through a convective acceleration component, the equations of motion for axially-moving materials are skew-symmetric in the state space formulation, so that the response problem is best analyzed within the broader context of continuous gyroscopic systems. With particular application to the prototypical traveling string and beam models, a modal analysis that associates degrees of freedom with the complex state eigenfunctions and their conjugates is presented. This procedure is well-suited for harmonic excitation sources, and in some instances, it is more convenient than previous methods which decompose the modal coordinates, eigenfunctions, and generalized forces into real and imaginary components. Also from the state space perspective, Rayleigh’s quotient for gyroscopic systems provides a variational method for determining the eigensolutions of axially-moving materials. Ritz discretization of the quotient can make effective use of the speed-adapting modes of the traveling string and beam models as they are rich in phase, as well as amplitude, content.

Sufficient conditions are obtained for the stability and instability of linear conservative gyroscopic systems. The conditions are nonspectral, involve only the definiteness of certain combinations of the coefficient matrices, and may yield useful design constraints. An example is employed to compare these results with earlier results of the same type.

By taking advantage of modal decoupling and reduction of order, we derive a simplified procedure for applying the method of multiple scales to determine the stability boundaries of parametrically excited, gyroscopic systems. The analytic advantages of the procedure are illustrated with three examples.

This paper considers a moving beam in frictional contact with pads, making the system susceptible for self-excited vibrations. The equations of motion are derived and a stability analysis is performed using perturbation techniques yielding analytical approximations to the stability boundaries. Special attention is given to the interaction of the beam and the rod equations. The mechanism yielding self-excited vibrations does not only occur in moving beams, but also in other moving continua such as rotating plates, for example.

We consider the hamiltonian system of linear differential equations with periodic coefficients. Using the infinite determinant method based on the existence of periodic solutions on the boundaries between the domains of stability and instability in the parameter space we have developed the algorithm for analytical computation of the stability boundaries. The algorithm has been realized for the second and the fourth order hamiltonian systems arising in the restricted many-body problems. The stability boundaries have been found in the form of powers series, accurate to the sixth order in a small parameter. All the computations are done with the computer algebra system Mathematica.

AbstractA review of the stability theory of symmetrizable time-dependent difference schemes is represented. The notion of the operator-difference scheme is introduced and general ideas about stability in the sense of the initial data and in the sense of the right hand side are formulated. Further, the so-called symmetrizable difference schemes are considered in detail for which we manage to formulate the unimprovable necessary and su±cient conditions of stability in the sense of the initial data. The schemes with variable weight multipliers are a typical representative of symmetrizable difference schemes. For such schemes a numerical algorithm is proposed and realized for constructing stability boundaries.

Since 2010 Middle East have many events or what they call "Arab spring events" which it result of overthrow governments and the rise of new political groups, all of this elements was resulting of many international and regional activities and making new regional and international axles, as well as the intersections of the different regional interests, therefore this research will try to study the stability and instability in the region as an independent variable not according to the neorealism or neoliberalism theories, but according to the constructivism theory which it base their assumptions on:  "In the international relations the non-physical structures of international interactions are determined by the identities of the players, which in turn determine the interests that determine the behavior of international players." So the research questions are: 1-What is the identity policy and haw affect in international relations? 2-How the social construct affect in international relations? 3-How the elite's identities for the main actors in the Middle East affect in the regional axles?

The binding of calcium and lead ions to carboxy derivatives of starch prepared by allowing nitrogen dioxide to act on native maize starch (procedure A) and on starch 2,3-dialdehyde derivatives of degrees of oxidation DO(d.a.) ≥ 0.94 (procedure B) was studied. The carboxy group content of the samples in the H+ form was 4.6 - 12.1 mmol g-1. The effect of alkaline medium on the stability of the carboxy derivatives and on their ability to bind and exchange cations was examined. The Ca2+ → 2K+ exchange was evaluated in terms of the decrease in the electrostatic free enthalpy Δ(Gel/N)KCa, determined by alkalimetric potentiometric titrations, and the binding of Pb2+ ions was evaluated in terms of the activity of the Pb2+ counter-ions determined in suspensions of Pb salts of the carboxy derivatives by means of an ion specific electrode. The IR and CD spectra revealed that the carboxystarch preparations obtained by procedure A contained, in addition to free carboxy groups, a considerable amount of carbonyl groups. During the conversion of the latter groups to the former, even in a weakly alkaline medium, the carboxy derivatives undergo an appreciable degradation and lose, to a great extent, their ability to bind and exchange cations. Procedure B, on the other hand, leads to highly selective starch and amylose carboxy derivatives, exhibiting a small amount of carbonyl groups and featuring a relative stability towards alkaline medium; their binding capacity is as high as 12 milliequivalents of cations per g of sample.
