Long Term Behavior

Gas engines get an increasing market share compared to four stroke engines, especially in the field of energy systems. Under these special firing conditions engine components are stressed differently than in traditional diesel engines. This particularly is the case for bearings. In order to supplement the knowledge base for bearing performance under these aggravated conditions, special test methods have been developed to find out reasons for premature bearing failure characteristics. In combination with experience from the long term behavior of different bearing types in different gas engine applications, this data allows the development of improved bearing materials as well as bearing designs. Using this knowledge in combination with advanced simulation tools, a bearing supplier can offer assistance to select adequate bearing designs, give a life time prediction and in case of unexpected phenomena, redesign recommendations. The paper presents reasons and influences for life time limitations as well as different risk factors for available bearing types and situations. Based on field experience and data from the advanced bearing test procedures, values for bearing performance are given. Data for hydrodynamic performance, tribological properties and emergency running behavior, cavitation resistance, wear resistance and last, but not least corrosion resistance against active sulfur and halogens will be given for traditional and newly developed bearing materials. A short view into the future will finish the presentation.

Mapping Theory

In order to predict the long term behavior of nonlinear dynamical systems the generalized cell mapping is an efficient and powerful method for numerical analysis. For this reason it is of interest to know under what circumstances dynamical quantities of the generalized cell mapping (like persistent groups, stationary densities, …) reflect the dynamics of the system (attractors, invariant measures, …). In this article we develop such connections between the generalized cell mapping theory and the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems. We prove that the generalized cell mapping is a discretization of the Frobenius–Perron operator. By applying the results obtained for the Frobenius–Perron operator to the generalized cell mapping we outline for some classes of transformations that the stationary densities of the generalized cell mapping converges to an invariant measure of the system. Furthermore, we discuss what kind of measures and attractors can be approximated by this method.

Long Term Behavior

This paper is devoted to the long-term behavior of nonautonomous random lattice dynamical systems with nonlinear diffusion terms. The nonlinear drift and diffusion terms are not expected to be Lipschitz continuous but satisfy the continuity and growth conditions. We first prove the existence of solutions, and establish the existence of a multi-valued nonautonomous cocycle. We then show the existence and uniqueness of pullback attractors parameterized by sample parameters. Finally, we establish the measurability of this pullback attractor by the method based on the weak upper semicontinuity of the solutions.
