Starting with the known steady-state solutions for diffraction by a perfectly conducting convex surface, the corresponding transient responses are derived using Fourier–Laplace inversion. Explicit results are given for an incident wave which varies with time as a step function.

This paper is concerned with the steady state bifurcations of a harmonically excited two-member plane truss system. A two-degree-of-freedom Duffing system having nonlinear fractional derivatives is derived to govern the dynamic behaviors of the truss system. Viscoelastic properties are described by the fractional Kelvin–Voigt model based on the Caputo definition. The combined method of harmonic balance and polynomial homotopy continuation is adopted to obtain steady state solutions analytically. A parametric study is conducted with the help of amplitude-response curves. Despite its seeming simplicity, the mechanical system exhibits a wide variety of structural responses. The primary and sub-harmonic resonances and chaos are found in specific regions of system parameters. The dynamic snap-through phenomena are observed when the forcing amplitude exceeds some critical values. Moreover, it has been shown that, suppression of undesirable responses can be achieved via changing of viscosity of the system.

Global interaction of the boundary layer separating from an obstacle with resulting open/closed wakes is studied for a thin airfoil in a steady flow. Replacing the Kutta condition of the classical theory is the breakaway criterion of the laminar triple-deck interaction (Sychev 1972; Smith 1977), which, together with the assumption of a uniform wake/eddy pressure, leads to a nonlinear equation system for the breakaway location and wake shape. The solutions depend on a Reynolds numberReand an airfoil thickness ratio or incidence τ and, in the domain$Re^{\frac{1}{16}}\tau = O(1)$considered, the separation locations are found to be far removed from the classical Brillouin–Villat point for the breakaway from a smooth shape. Bifurcations of the steady-state solution are found among examples of symmetrical and asymmetrical flows, allowing open and closed wakes, as well as symmetry breaking in an otherwise symmetrical flow. Accordingly, the influence of thickness and incidence, as well as Reynolds number is critical in the vicinity of branch points and cut-off points where steady-state solutions can/must change branches/types. The study suggests a correspondence of this bifurcation feature with the lift hysteresis and other aerodynamic anomalies observed from wind-tunnel and numerical studies in subcritical and high-subcriticalReflows.

This research work was devoted to present a novel adaptive controller which uses two negative stable feedbacks with a positive unstable positive feedback. The positive feedback causes the plant to do the break, therefore reaching the desired trajectory with tiny overshoots. However, the two other negative feedback gains controls the plant in two other sides of positive feedback, making the system to be stable, and controlling the steady-state, and transient responses. This controller was performed for PUMA-560 trajectory planning, and a comparison was made with a fuzzy controller. The fuzzy controller parameters were obtained according to the PSO technique. The simulation results shows that the novel adaptive controller, having just three parameters, can perform well, and can be a good substitute for many other controllers for complex systems such as robotic path planning.
