The Stability

Stability bounds are outlined for the null solution of the equation describing the response of a linear damped oscillator excited through periodic coefficients, the excitation being a form of Rice noise comprising equal amplitude sinusoids with frequencies at equal intervals in the vicinity of twice the natural frequency of the system, but with pseudo-random initial phases. Stability was investigated by the monodromy matrix method, which is exact apart from errors due to numerical integration, and by the approximate method due to R. A. Struble, which replaces the dependent variable by its amplitude and a phase variable. Struble’s method gives the main features of the stability diagram and leads to faster and more robust numerical integration with potential advantages for nonlinear and several degree-of-freedom systems, but loses much of the detail. When the frequency spacing is relatively large, the stability diagram is closely related to that for Mathieu’s equation, but the detailed shape becomes very complicated as the frequency spacing decreases. Quantitative comparison with the corresponding boundary for Gaussian white noise excitation shows very approximate equivalence.

This article investigates the equilibria and stability of a pendulum when the support has a prescribed motion defined by an elliptic function. Stability charts are generated in the parameter plane for different values of the elliptic function modulus. Numerical integration and Floquet theory are used to generate stability charts that are later obtained through harmonic balance analysis. It is shown that the size and location of the instability tongues is directly linked to the elliptic function modulus. Comparisons are also made between the stability charts of Mathieu's equation and those of the pendulum when the prescribed motion is defined by an elliptic function.

This paper considers the stability of constant solutions to the 1D Euler equation. The idea is to investigate the effect of different function spaces on the well-posedness and stability of the null solution of the 1D linearized Euler equations. It is shown that the mathematical tools and results depend on the meaning of the concepts “perturbation,” “small perturbation,” “solution of the propagation problem,” and “small solution, that is, solution close to zero,” which are specific for each function space.

Order Four

A new twelfth-order four-step formula containing fourth derivatives for the numerical integration of the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation has been developed. It was found that by adding multi-derivative terms, the stability of a linear multi-step method can be improved and the interval of periodicity of this new method is larger than that of the Numerov's method. The numerical test shows that the new method is superior to the previous lower orders in both accuracy and efficiency and it is specially applied to the problem when an increasing accuracy is requested.

The stability of nonlinear tertiary solutions in rotating plane Couette flow is examined numerically. It is found that the tertiary flows, which bifurcate from two-dimensional streamwise vortex flows, are stable within a certain range of the rotation rate when the Reynolds number is relatively small. The stability boundary is determined by perturbations which are subharmonic in the streamwise direction. As the Reynolds number is increased, the rotation range for the stable tertiary motions is destroyed gradually by oscillatory instabilities. We expect that the tertiary flow is overtaken by time-dependent motions for large Reynolds numbers. The results are compared with the recent experimental observation by Tillmark & Alfredsson (1996).

The Stability

This paper presents a study of the nonlinear dynamic behavior a flying capacitor four-level three-cell DC-DC buck converter. Its stability analysis is performed and its stability boundaries is determined in the multi-dimensional paramertic space. First, the switched model of the converter is presented. Then, a discrete-time controller for the converter is proposed. The controller is is responsible for both balancing the flying capacitor voltages from one hand and for output current regulation. Simulation results from the switched model of the converter under the proposed controller are presented. The results show that the system may undergo bifurcation phenomena and period doubling route to chaos when some system parameters are varied. One-dimensional bifurcation diagrams are computed and used to explore the possible dynamical behavior of the system. By using Floquet theory and Filippov method to derive the monodromy matrix, the bifurcation behavior observed in the converter is accurately predicted. Based on justified and realistic approximations of the system state variables waveforms, simple and accurate expressions for these steady-state values and the monodromy matrix are derived and validated. The simple expression of the steady-state operation and the monodromy matrix allow to analytically predict the onset of instability in the system and the stability region in the parametric space is determined. Numerical simulations from the exact switched model validate the theoretical predictions.

The present paper discusses the investigation of electronic properties of anthracene-based single electron transistor (SET) operating in coulomb blockade region using Density Functional Theory (DFT) based Atomistix toolkit-Virtual nanolab. The charging energies of anthracene molecule in isolated as well as electrostatic SET environments have been calculated for analyzing the stability of the molecule for different charge states. Study also includes the analysis of SET conductance dependence on source/drain and gate potentials in reference to the charge stability diagram. Our computed charging energies for anthracene in isolated environment are in good agreement with the experimental values and the proposed anthracene SET shows good switching properties in comparison to other acene series SETs.

Thermoacoustic Oscillations

Six burner/furnace systems which operated successfully without vibration are evaluated for resistance to thermoacoustic oscillations. The evaluation is based on the Rijke and Sondhauss models representing the combined burner/furnace (cold/hot) thermoacoustic systems. Frequency differences between the lowest vulnerable furnace acoustic frequencies in the burner axial direction and those of the systems’ Rijke and Sondhauss frequencies are evaluated to check for resonances. Most importantly, the stability of the Rijke and Sondhauss models is checked against the published design stability diagram of Eisinger [1] and Eisinger and Sullivan [2]. It is shown that the resistance to thermoacoustic oscillations is adequately defined by the published design stability diagram to which the evaluated cases generally adhere. Once the system falls into the stable range, the frequency differences or resonances appear to play only a secondary role. It is concluded, however, that in conjunction with stability, the primary criterion, sufficient frequency separations shall also be maintained in the design process to preclude resonances. The paper provides sufficient details to aid the design engineers.

Abstract Nonstationary response of a two-degrees-of-freedom system with quadratic coupling under a time varying modulated amplitude sinusoidal excitation is studied. The nonlinearly coupled pitch and roll ship model is based on Nayfeh, Mook and Marshall’s work for the case of stationary excitation. The ship model has a 2:1 internal resonance and is excited near the resonance of the pitch mode. The modulated excitation (F0 + F1 cos ωt) cosQt is used to model a narrow band sea-wave excitation. The response demonstrates a variety of bifurcations, loss of stability, and chaos phenomena that are not present in the stationary case. We consider here the periodically modulated response. Chaotic response of the system is discussed in a separate paper. Several approximate solutions, under both small and large modulating amplitudes F1, are obtained and compared with the exact one. The stability of an exact solution with one mode having zero amplitude is studied. Loss of stability in this case involves either a rapid transition from one of two stable (in the stationary sense) branches to another, or a period doubling bifurcation. From Floquet theory, various stability boundary diagrams are obtained in F1 and F0 parameter space which can be used to predict the various transition phenomena and the period-2 bifurcations. The study shows that both the modulation parameters F1 and ω (the modulating frequency) have great effect on the stability boundaries. Because of the modulation, the stable area is greatly expanded, and the stationary bifurcation point can be exceeded without loss of stability. Decreasing ω can make the stability boundary very complicated. For very small ω the response can make periodic transitions between the two (pseudo) stable solutions.

Abstract In this work we investigate the following quasiperiodic Mathieu equation: x ¨ + ( δ + ϵ cos ⁡ t + ϵ cos ⁡ ω t ) x = 0 We use numerical integration to determine regions of stability in the δ–ω plane for fixed ϵ. Graphs of these stability regions are presented, based on extensive computation. In addition, we use perturbations to obtain approximations for the stability regions near δ=14 for small ω, and we compare the results with those of direct numerical integration.
