Algebraic Eigenvalue Problem

Closed-form solutions to differential eigenvalue problems associated with natural conservative systems, albeit self-adjoint, can be obtained in only a limited number of cases. Approximate solutions generally require spatial discretization, which amounts to approximating the differential eigenvalue problem by an algebraic eigenvalue problem. If the discretization process is carried out by the Rayleigh-Ritz method in conjunction with the variational approach, then the approximate eigenvalues can be characterized by means of the Courant and Fischer maximin theorem and the separation theorem. The latter theorem can be used to demonstrate the convergence of the approximate eigenvalues thus derived to the actual eigenvalues. This paper develops a maximin theorem and a separation theorem for discretized gyroscopic conservative systems, and provides a numerical illustration.

Algebraic Eigenvalue Problem

The present paper is devoted to the issue of what effect the axial load (compressive or tensile) has on the eigenfrequencies of a heterogeneous pinned-pinned beam with an intermediate roller support (called a PrsP beam). This problem is a three point boundary value problem (eigenvalue problem) associated with homogeneous boundary conditions. If the Green functions of the three point boundary value problem (BVP) are known the eigenvalue problem that provide the eigenfrequencies for the beam loaded axially can be transformed into an eigenvalue problem governed by a homogeneous Fredholm integral equation. The later eigenvalue problems can be reduced to an algebraic eigenvalue problem which then can be solved numerically by using an effective solution algorithm which is based on the boundary element method.

Abstract The feedback control of Hopf bifurcation of nonlinear aeroelastic systems with asymmetric aerodynamic lift force and nonlinear elastic forces of the airfoil is discussed. For the Hopf bifurcation analysis, the eigenvalue problems of the state matrix and its adjoint matrix are defined. The Puiseux expansion is used to discuss the variations of the non-semi-simple eigenvalues, as the control parameter passes through the critical value to avoid the difficulty for computing the derivatives of the non-semi-simple eigenvalues with respect to the control parameter. The method of multiple scales and center-manifold reduction are used to deal with the feedback control design of a nonlinear system with non-semi-simple eigenvalues at the critical point of the Hopf bifurcation. The first order approximate solutions are developed, which include gain vector and input. The presented methods are based on the Jordan form which is the simplest one. Finally, an example of an airfoil model is given to show the feasibility and for verification of the present method.

Set Up

Abstract Ritz’s method is one of several possible procedures for obtaining approximate solutions for the frequencies and modes of vibration of thin elastic plates. The accuracy of the results and the practicability of the computations depend to a great extent upon the set of functions that is chosen to represent the plate deflection. In this investigation, use is made of the functions which define the normal modes of vibration of a uniform beam. Tables of values of these functions have been computed as well as values of different integrals of the functions and their derivatives. With the aid of these data, the necessary equations can be set up and solved with reasonable effort. Solutions are obtained for three specific plate problems, namely, (a) square plate clamped at all four edges, (b) square plate clamped along two adjacent edges and free along the other two edges, and (c) square plate clamped along one edge and free along the other three edges.

A method is presented for transparent, energy-dependent boundary conditions for open, non-Hermitian systems, and is illustrated on an example of Stark resonances in a single-particle quantum system. The approach provides an alternative to external complex scaling, and is applicable when asymptotic solutions can be characterized at large distances from the origin. Its main benefit consists in a drastic reduction of the dimesnionality of the underlying eigenvalue problem. Besides application to quantum mechanics, the method can be used in other contexts such as in systems involving unstable optical cavities and lossy waveguides.

Stiffness Variation

Parametric vibrations occur in many mechanical systems such as gears where the stiffness variation and external excitations generally occur at integer multiples of the rotational speed. This paper describes a procedure based on the Ritz Averaging Method for developing closed form solutions for the response of such systems to harmonic excitations. Although the method is illustrated in the paper by the case of a linear system with harmonic stiffness fluctuation (defined by Mathieu’s equation) it can be readily applied to determine approximate solutions for systems with nonlinear characteristics and any periodic variations of parameters.

A method for obtaining approximate solutions to initial-boundary-value problems in the linear theory of coupled thermoelasticity is developed. This procedure is a direct variational method representing an extension of the Ritz method. As an illustration of the procedure, it is applied to a class of one-dimensional, transient problems involving weak thermal shocks. The problems considered are: (a) Rapid heating of a half space through a thermally conducting boundary layer, and (b) gradual heating of the boundary surface of a half space. The solutions generated by the extended Ritz method are compared, for accuracy, to solutions obtained from a numerical inversion scheme for the Laplace transform based on Gaussian quadrature. These comparisons indicate that the variational procedure developed here can yield accurate results.

The Given

In this article, the iterative transformation method and homotopy perturbation transformation method are applied to calculate the solution of time-fractional Cauchy-reaction diffusion equations. In this technique, Shehu transformation is combined of the iteration and the homotopy perturbation techniques. Four examples are examined to show validation and the efficacy of the present methods. The approximate solutions achieved by the suggested methods indicate that the approach is easy to apply to the given problems. Moreover, the solution in series form has the desire rate of convergence and provides closed-form solutions. It is noted that the procedure can be modified in other directions of fractional order problems. These solutions show that the current technique is very straightforward and helpful to perform in applied sciences.
