Lowest-order cumulants provide important information on the shape of the emission source in femtoscopy. For the simple case of noninteracting identical particles, we show how the fourth-order source cumulant can be determined from measured cumulants in momentum space. The textbook Gram–Charlier series is found to be highly inaccurate, while the related Edgeworth series provides increasingly accurate estimates. Ordering of terms compatible with the Central Limit Theorem appears to play a crucial role even for non-Gaussian distributions.

Three-point odd-order correlations and four-point even-order correlations of the longitudinal velocity fluctuations in grid-generated turbulence have been measured using linearized hot-wire anemometry, digital sampling, and a high-speed digital computer. The measured correlations are compared with relations between higher-order correlations corresponding to non-Gaussian Gram-Charlier joint probability densities for three and four variables. The fourth-order, three-point Gram-Charlier distribution accurately describes the relation between measured odd-order three-point correlations. The measured fourth-order even-order correlations may be accurately predicted from the two-point correlation using Millionshtchikov's joint-Gaussian hypothesis, except for small values of the separations. The disagreement at small separations cannot be reduced through use of the Gram-Charlier approximation.

We describe efforts to improve the accuracy of fatigue damage estimation methods of narrowband non-Gaussian random loading. The available analytical solutions are reviewed and briefly summarized, and the reasons for the occurrence of computational errors during nonlinear transformation-based methods are determined. The computational errors are mainly due to inconsistencies in the statistical moments above fourth order. A new approach is proposed for the evaluation of rainflow fatigue damage. This approach avoids the problem of transformation-based methods and provides accurate estimation for fatigue damage of narrowband leptokurtic non-Gaussian random loading. Additionally, the applicability of the proposed method to Gaussian random loading is investigated. Finally, two examples are carried out and comparisons are made to more commonly used methods to demonstrate the capabilities and brevity of the proposed algorithm.

The methods of Gaussian linearization along with a new Gaussian Criterion used in the prediction of the stationary output variances of stable nonlinear oscillators subjected to both stochastic parametric and external excitations are presented. The techniques of Gaussian linearization are first derived and the accuracy in the prediction of the stationary output variances is illustrated. The justification of using Gaussian linearization a priori is further investigated by establishing a Gaussian Criterion. The non-Gaussian effects due to system nonlinearities and/or large noise intensities in a Duffing oscillator are also illustrated. The validity of employing the Gaussian Criterion test for assuring accuracy of Gaussian linearization is supported by performing the Chi-square Gaussian goodness-of-fit test.

AbstractQuasi-periodic solutions can arise in assemblies of nonlinear oscillators as a consequence of Neimark-Sacker bifurcations. In this work, the appearance of Neimark-Sacker bifurcations is investigated analytically and numerically in the specific case of a system of two coupled oscillators featuring a 1:2 internal resonance. More specifically, the locus of Neimark-Sacker points is analytically derived and its evolution with respect to the system parameters is highlighted. The backbone curves, solution of the conservative system, are first investigated, showing in particular the existence of two families of periodic orbits, denoted as parabolic modes. The behaviour of these modes, when the detuning between the eigenfrequencies of the system is varied, is underlined. The non-vanishing limit value, at the origin of one solution family, allows explaining the appearance of isolated solutions for the damped-forced system. The results are then applied to a Micro-Electro-Mechanical System-like shallow arch structure, to show how the analytical expression of the Neimark-Sacker boundary curve can be used for rapid prediction of the appearance of quasiperiodic regime, and thus frequency combs, in Micro-Electro-Mechanical System dynamics.

Abstract We study chaotic dynamics and the phase-locking phenomenon of the circular mesh antenna with 1:3 internal resonance subjected to the temperature excitation in this paper. Firstly, the frequencies and modes of the circular mesh antenna are analyzed by the finite element method, it is found that there is an approximate threefold relationship between the first-order and the fourth-order vibrations of the circular mesh antenna. Considering a composite laminated circular cylindrical shell clamped along a generatrix and with the radial pre-stretched membranes at both ends subjected to the temperature excitation, we study the nonlinear dynamic behaviors of the equivalent circular mesh antenna model based on the fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm, which are described by the bifurcation diagrams, waveforms, phase plots and Poincaré maps in the state-parameter space. It is found that there appear the Pomeau-Manneville type intermittent chaos. According to the topology evolution of phase trajectories, the phase-locking phenomena are found.

The main objectives of this note are to examine the random response of nonlinear three degree-of-freedom systems in the neighborhood of combination internal resonance by using Monte Carlo simulation and to compare the results with those obtained by first-order non-Gaussian closure. The numerical simulation is found to support the main features of the nonlinear interaction in the neighborhood of internal resonance conditions. For example, the nonlinear interaction takes place in the form of a randomly continuous energy exchange between the modes involved. In addition, the results verify the existence of energy absorbing effect as predicted by the non-Gaussian closure method. While the non-Gaussian closure exhibits regions of multiple solutions in the neighborhood of exact internal resonance, the numerical simulation gives only one solution depending on the assigned initial conditions. This observation requires further investigation to establish the domains of attraction in stochastic nonlinear dynamics.
