The important deviations from ideal “gyroscopic” behavior of the plane of a vibrating string, driven by longitudinal end motion, are obtained theoretically. The amplitude of lateral string oscillation is obtained, and perturbation methods are applied to determine conditions under which these oscillations begin and/or continue. Elastic asymmetry is shown to cause the string elements to move out of the nominal plane of vibration into thin elliptical orbits, balanced in a “field” which deviates from linearity because of tension variation. A general expression for orbital precession in a nearly-linear central field is derived and applied to string orbits to obtain the differential equation of motion of the nominal string plane. Finally, motion of the string plane caused by asymmetrical damping is derived.

In order to analysis the force situation of the material which is discontinuity,we can used the new theory called peridynamics to slove it.Peridynamics theory is a new method of molecular dynamics that develops very quickly.Peridynamics theory used the volume integral equation to constructed the model,used the volume integral equation to calculated the PD force in the horizon.So It doesn’t need to assumed the material’s continuity which must assumed that use partial differential equation to formulates the equation of motion. Destruction and the expend of crack which have been included in the peridynamics’ equation of motion.Do not need other additional conditions.In this paper,we introduce the peridynamics theory modeling method and introduce the relations between peridynamics and classic theory of mechanics.We also introduce the numerical integration method of peridynamics.Finally implementation the numerical integration in prototype microelastic brittle material.Through these work to show the advantage of peridynamics to analysis the force situation of the material.

Abstract The transverse vibrating motion of a simple beam with one end fixed while driven harmonically along its axial direction from the other end is investigated. For a special case of zero value for the rigidity of the beam, the system reduces to that of a vibrating string with the corresponding equation of its motion. The sufficient condition for the periodic solution of the beam is then derived by means of the Green’s function and Schauder’s fixed point theorem. The criteria for the stability of the system is well defined and the condition for which the performance of the beam behaves as a nonlinear function is stated.

Generalized Differential

The motion of an oscillatory system with one degree of freedom, described by the generalized Rayleigh differential equation, is considered. The generalization is achieved by replacing the cubic term, which expresses the dissipative strength of the equation of motion, by a power term with an arbitrary positive exponent. To study the oscillatory process involved the method of energy balance. Using it, an approximate differential equation of the envelope of the graph of the oscillatory process is compiled and its analytical solution is constructed from which it follows that quasilinear frictional self-oscillations are possible only when the exponent is greater than unity. The value of the amplitude of the self-oscillations in the steady state also depends on the value of the indicator. A compact formula for calculating this amplitude is derived. In the general case, the calculation involves the use of a gamma function table. In the case when the exponent is three, the amplitude turned out to be the same as in the asymptotic solution of the Rayleigh equation that Stoker constructed. The amplitude is independent of the initial conditions. Self-oscillations are impossible if the exponent is less than or equal to unity, since depending on the initial deviation of the system, oscillations either sway (instability of the movement is manifested) or the range decreases to zero with a limited number of cycles, which is usually observed with free oscillations of the oscillator with dry friction. These properties of the oscillatory system are also confirmed by numerical computer integration of the differential equation of motion for specific initial data. In the Maple environment, the oscillator trajectories are constructed for various values of the nonlinearity index in the expression of the viscous resistance force and a corresponding comparative analysis is carried out, which confirms the adequacy of approximate analytical solutions.

Rocking Motion

This chapter addresses the numerical modeling of freestanding rigid blocks by means of a semi-discrete approach. The pure rocking motion of single rigid bodies can be easily studied with the differential equation of motion, which can be solved by numerical integration or by linearization. However, when we deal with sliding and jumping motion of rigid bodies, the mathematical formulation becomes quite complex. In order to overcome this complexity, a Semi-Discrete Model (SMD) is proposed for the study of rocking motion of rigid bodies, in which the rigid body is considered as a mass element supported by springs and dashpots, in the spirit of deformable contacts between rigid blocks. The SMD can detect separation and sliding of the body; however, initial base contacts do not change, keeping a relative continuity between the body and its base. Extensive numerical simulations have been carried out in order to validate the proposed approach.

This paper investigates the voltage response of superharmonic resonance of the second order of electrostatically actuated nano-electro-mechanical system (NEMS) resonator sensor. The structure of the NEMS device is a resonator cantilever over a ground plate under Alternating Current (AC) voltage. Superharmonic resonance of second order occurs when the AC voltage is operating in a frequency near-quarter the natural frequency of the resonator. The forces acting on the system are electrostatic, damping and Casimir. To induce a bifurcation phenomenon in superharmonic resonance, the AC voltage is in the category of hard excitation. The gap distance between the cantilever resonator and base plate is in the range of 20 nm to 1 μm for Casimir forces to be present. The differential equation of motion is converted to dimensionless by choosing the gap as reference length for deflections, the length of the resonator for the axial coordinate, and reference time based on the characteristics of the structure. The Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) and Reduced Order Model (ROM) are used to model the characteristic of the system. MMS transforms the nonlinear partial differential equation of motion into two simpler problems, namely zero-order and first-order. ROM, based on the Galerkin procedure, uses the undamped linear mode shapes of the undamped cantilever beam as the basis functions. The influences of parameters (i.e. Casimir, damping, fringe, and detuning parameter) were also investigated.

Two Degree Of Freedom

We investigate the effect of nonlinearites on a parametrically excited ordinary differential equation whose linearization exhibits the phenomena of coexistence. The differential equation studied governs the stability mode of vibration in an unforced conservative two degree of freedom system used to model the free vibrations of a thin elastica. Using perturbation methods, we show that at parameter values corresponding to coexistence, nonlinear terms can cause the origin to become nonlinearly unstable, even though linear stability analysis predicts the origin to be stable. We also investigate the bifurcations associated with this instability.

Lyapunov Constants

We prove that the Lyapunov constants for differential equations given by a vector field with a line of discontinuities are quasi-homogeneous polynomials. This property is strongly used to derive the general expression of the Lyapunov constants for two families of discontinuous Liénard differential equations, modulus some unknown coefficients. In one of the families these coefficients are determined and the center problem is solved. In the other family the center problem is just solved by assuming that the coefficients which appear in these expressions are nonzero. This assumption on the coefficients is supported by their computation (analytical and numerical) for several cases.
