The problem of obtaining a modal (i.e., infinite series) solution of second order flexible structures with viscous damping boundary conditions is considered. In conservative boundary systems, separation of variables is well established and there exist closed form modal solutions. However, no counterpart results exist for the damped boundary case and previous publications fall short of providing a complete solution for the series, in particular, its coefficients. The paper presents the free response of damped boundary structures to general initial conditions in the form of an infinite sum of products of spatial and time functions. The problem is attended via Laplace domain approach, and explicit expressions for the series components and coefficients are derived. The modal approach is useful in finite dimension modeling, since it provides a convenient framework for truncation. It is shown via examples that often few modes suffice for approximation with good accuracy.

The paper considers the problem of suppressing the free vibration, induced by nonzero initial conditions, in a flexible system governed by the wave equation. First an exact response of the system, with general linear boundary conditions, is derived in terms of propagating waves that are reflected from the boundaries. The solution is explicit and with clear physical interpretation. The general expressions for the response are then used to investigate the behavior of the system under control with the absolute vibration suppression controller, which was originally designed for tracking control. It is shown that the vibration suppression properties of this controller apply also to nonzero initial conditions. In cases where the load end is free or contains only damping, the vibration stops completely in finite time and if it contains only inertia and damping it decays exponentially without vibration.

This paper considers the problem of modeling and control of non-conservative flexible systems, whose dynamics is described by the wave equation. Classical modal analysis failed so far when the boundaries included dampers. A new insight into the problem was obtained by infinite dimension transfer functions models, developed in previous works. Their special structure, consisting of delays and low order rational terms lead to the time domain interpretation of traveling waves. In this paper the Laplace modeling approach is used to represent the solution in a modal like fashion, i.e. an infinite sum of products of spatial and temporal functions. While this form is closely related to standing waves, it was shown to lead also to a traveling wave representation. The response is then used to investigate the behavior of the system under control with the absolute vibration suppression (AVS) controller, which was originally designed for tracking control. It is shown that the vibration suppression properties of this controller apply also to nonzero initial conditions.

AbstractWe consider the second-order rational difference equation $$ {x_{n+1}=\gamma +\delta \frac{x_{n}}{x^{2}_{n-1}}}, $$xn+1=γ+δxnxn−12, where γ, δ are positive real numbers and the initial conditions $x_{-1}$x−1 and $x_{0}$x0 are positive real numbers. Boundedness along with global attractivity and Neimark–Sacker bifurcation results are established. Furthermore, we give an asymptotic approximation of the invariant curve near the equilibrium point.

Modeling the conduction of heat in living tissue requires the consideration of sudden spatial discontinuities in property values as well as the presence of the body's circulatory system. This paper presents a description of the separation of variables method that results in a remarkably simple solution of transient heat conduction in a perfuse composite slab for which at least one of the layers experiences a zero perfusion rate. The method uses the natural analytic approach and formats the description so that the constants of integration of each composite layer are expressed in terms of those of the previous layer's eigenfunctions. This allows the solution to be “built” in a very systematic and sequential manner. The method is presented in the context of the Pennes bioheat equation for which the solution is developed for a system composed of any number of N layers with arbitrary initial conditions.

In this contribution, we construct approximations for the density associated with the solution of second-order linear differential equations whose coefficients are analytic stochastic processes about regular-singular points. Our analysis is based on the combination of a random Fröbenius technique together with the random variable transformation technique assuming mild probabilistic conditions on the initial conditions and coefficients. The new results complete the ones recently established by the authors for the same class of stochastic differential equations, but about regular points. In this way, this new contribution allows us to study, for example, the important randomized Bessel differential equation.
