Delay differential equations (DDEs) are widely utilized as the mathematical models in engineering fields. In this paper, a method is proposed to analyze the stability characteristics of periodic DDEs with multiple time-periodic delays. Stability charts are produced for two typical examples of time-periodic DDEs about milling chatter, including the variable-spindle speed milling system with one-time-periodic delay and variable pitch cutter milling system with multiple delays. The simulations show that the results gained by the proposed method are in close agreement with those existing in the past literature. This indicates the effectiveness of our method in terms of time-periodic DDEs with multiple time-periodic delays. Moreover, for milling processes, the proposed method further provides a generalized algorithm, which possesses a good capability to predict the stability lobes for milling operations with variable pitch cutter or variable-spindle speed.

In this paper, we develop Galerkin approximations for determining the stability of delay differential equations (DDEs) with time periodic coefficients and time periodic delays. Using a transformation, we convert the DDE into a partial differential equation (PDE) along with a boundary condition (BC). The PDE and BC we obtain have time periodic coefficients. The PDE is discretized into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) using the Galerkin method with Legendre polynomials as the basis functions. The BC is imposed using the tau method. The resulting ODEs are time periodic in nature; thus, we resort to Floquet theory to determine the stability of the ODEs. We show through several numerical examples that the stability charts obtained from the Galerkin method agree closely with those obtained from direct numerical simulations.

A numerical method to determine the stability of delay differential equations (DDEs) with time periodic coefficients is proposed. The DDE is converted into an equivalent partial differential equation (PDE) with a time periodic boundary condition (BC). The PDE, along with its BC, is then converted into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with time periodic coefficients using the Galerkin least squares approach. In the Galerkin approach, shifted Legendre polynomials are used as basis functions, allowing us to obtain explicit expressions for the approximate system of ODEs. We analyze the stability of the discretized ODEs, which represent an approximate model of the DDEs, using Floquet theory. We use numerical examples to show that the stability charts obtained with our method are in excellent agreement with those existing in the literature and those obtained from direct numerical simulation.

Abstract Many practical systems have inherent time delays that cannot be ignored; thus, their dynamics are described using delay differential equations (DDEs). The Galerkin approximation method is one strategy for studying the stability of time-delay systems. In this work, we consider delays that are time-varying and, specifically, time-periodic. The Galerkin method can be used to obtain a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) from a second-order time-periodic DDE in two ways: either by converting the DDE into a second-order time-periodic partial differential equation (PDE) and then into a system of second-order ODEs, or by first expressing the original DDE as two first-order time-periodic DDEs, then converting into a system of first-order time-periodic PDEs, and finally converting into a first-order time-periodic ODE system. The difference between these two formulations in the context of control is presented in this paper. Specifically, we show that the former produces spurious Floquet multipliers at a spectral radius of 1. We also propose an optimization-based framework to obtain feedback gains that stabilize closed-loop control systems with time-periodic delays. The proposed optimization-based framework employs the Galerkin method and Floquet theory, and is shown to be capable of stabilizing systems considered in the literature. Finally, we present experimental validation of our theoretical results using a rotary inverted pendulum apparatus with inherent sensing delays as well as additional time-periodic state-feedback delays that are introduced deliberately.

This paper describes a new approach to examine the stability of delay differential equations that builds upon prior work using temporal finite element analysis. In contrast to previous analyses, which could only be applied to second order delay differential equations, the present manuscript develops an approach which can be applied to a broader class of systems — systems that may be written in the form of a state space model. A primary outcome from this work is a generalized framework to investigate the asymptotic stability of autonomous delay differential equations with a single time delay. Furthermore, this approach is shown to be applicable to time-periodic delay differential equations and equations that are piecewise continuous.

In this paper, the application of the Magnus expansion on periodic time-delayed differential equations is proposed, where an approximation technique of Chebyshev Spectral Continuous Time Approximation (CSCTA) is first used to convert a system of delayed differential equations (DDEs) into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), whose solution are then obtained via the Magnus expansion. The stability and time response of this approach are investigated on two examples and compared with known results in the literature.

Delay differential equations (DDEs) are infinite-dimensional systems, therefore analyzing their stability is a difficult task. The delays can be discrete or distributed in nature. DDEs with distributed delays are referred to as delay integro-differential equations (DIDEs) in the literature. In this work, we propose a method to convert the DIDEs into a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). The stability of the DIDEs can then be easily studied from the obtained system of ODEs. By using a space-time transformation, we convert the DIDEs into a partial differential equation (PDE) with a time-dependent boundary condition. Then, by using the Galerkin method, we obtain a finite-dimensional approximation to the PDE. The boundary condition is incorporated into the Galerkin approximation using the Tau method. The resulting system of ODEs will have time-periodic coefficients, provided the coefficients of the DIDEs are time periodic. Thus, we use Floquet theory to analyze the stability of the resulting ODE systems. We study several numerical examples of DIDEs with different kernel functions. We show that the results obtained using our method are in close agreement with those existing in the literature. The theory developed in this work can also be used for the integration of DIDEs. The computational complexity of our numerical integration method is O(t), whereas the direct brute-force integration of DIDE has a computational complexity of O(t2).
