Abstract This paper presents mechanical energy and equivalent viscous damping for a single-degree-of-freedom fractional Zener oscillator. Differential equation of motion is derived in terms of fractional Zener constitutive equation of viscoelastic materials. A virtual fractional oscillator is generated via a state transformation. Then, based on the diffusive model for fractional integrators, the stored energy in fractional derivatives with orders lying in (0, 1) and (2, 3) is determined. Thus, the total mechanical energy in the virtual oscillator is determined. Finally, fractional derivatives are split into three parts: the equivalent viscous damping, equivalent stiffness, and equivalent mass. In this way, the fractional differential equation is simplified into an integer-order differential equation, which is much more convenient to handle in engineering.

Abstract The purpose of this study is to discuss the existence of solutions for a boundary value problem at resonance generated by a nonlinear differential equation involving both right and left Caputo fractional derivatives. The proofs of the existence of solutions are mainly based on Mawhin’s coincidence degree theory. We provide an example to illustrate the main result.

Based on some recent works about the general solution of fractional differential equations with instantaneous impulses, a Caputo-Hadamard fractional differential equation with noninstantaneous impulses is studied in this paper. An equivalent integral equation with some undetermined constants is obtained for this fractional order system with noninstantaneous impulses, which means that there is general solution for the impulsive systems. Next, an example is given to illustrate the obtained result.

AbstractIn this paper, we first provide a survey of some basic properties of the left-and right-hand sided Erdélyi-Kober fractional integrals and derivatives and introduce their compositions in form of the composed Erdélyi-Kober operators. Then we derive a convolutional representation for the composed Erdélyi-Kober fractional integral in terms of its convolution in the Dimovski sense. For this convolution, we also determine the divisors of zero. These both results are then used for construction of an operational method for solving an initial value problem for a fractional differential equation with the left-and right-hand sided Erdélyi-Kober fractional derivatives defined on the positive semi-axis. Its solution is obtained in terms of the four-parameters Wright function of the second kind. The same operational method can be employed for other fractional differential equation with the left-and right-hand sided Erdélyi-Kober fractional derivatives.

Using conformable fractional calculus on time scales, we first introduce fractional Sobolev spaces on time scales, characterize them, and define weak conformable fractional derivatives. Second, we prove the equivalence of some norms in the introduced spaces and derive their completeness, reflexivity, uniform convexity, and compactness of some imbeddings, which can be regarded as a novelty item. Then, as an application, we present a recent approach via variational methods and critical point theory to obtain the existence of solutions for ap-Laplacian conformable fractional differential equation boundary value problem on time scaleT:  Tα(Tαup-2Tα(u))(t)=∇F(σ(t),u(σ(t))),Δ-a.e.  t∈a,bTκ2,u(a)-u(b)=0,Tα(u)(a)-Tα(u)(b)=0,whereTα(u)(t)denotes the conformable fractional derivative ofuof orderαatt,σis the forward jump operator,a,b∈T,  0<a<b,  p>1, andF:[0,T]T×RN→R. By establishing a proper variational setting, we obtain three existence results. Finally, we present two examples to illustrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the existence results.

Engineered metal mesh foil bearings (MMFBs) are a promising low cost bearing technology for oil-free microturbomachinery. In a MMFB, a ring shaped metal mesh provides a soft elastic support to a smooth arcuate foil wrapped around a rotating shaft. This paper details the construction of a MMFB and the static and dynamic load tests conducted on the bearing for estimation of its structural stiffness and equivalent viscous damping. The 28.00 mm diameter 28.05 mm long bearing, with a metal mesh ring made of 0.3 mm copper wire and compactness of 20%, is installed on a test shaft with a slight preload. Static load versus bearing deflection measurements display a cubic nonlinearity with large hysteresis. The bearing deflection varies linearly during loading, but nonlinearly during the unloading process. An electromagnetic shaker applies on the test bearing loads of controlled amplitude over a frequency range. In the frequency domain, the ratio of applied force to bearing deflection gives the bearing mechanical impedance, whose real part and imaginary part give the structural stiffness and damping coefficients, respectively. As with prior art published in the literature, the bearing stiffness decreases significantly with the amplitude of motion and shows a gradual increasing trend with frequency. The bearing equivalent viscous damping is inversely proportional to the excitation frequency and motion amplitude. Hence, it is best to describe the mechanical energy dissipation characteristics of the MMFB with a structural loss factor (material damping). The experimental results show a loss factor as high as 0.7 though dependent on the amplitude of motion. Empirically based formulas, originally developed for metal mesh rings, predict bearing structural stiffness and damping coefficients that agree well with the experimentally estimated parameters. Note, however, that the metal mesh ring, after continuous operation and various dismantling and re-assembly processes, showed significant creep or sag that resulted in a gradual decrease in its structural force coefficients.

AbstractThis paper provides results on the existence and representation of solution to an initial value problem for the general multi-term linear fractional differential equation with generalized Riemann-Liouville fractional derivatives and constant coefficients by using operational calculus of Mikusinski’s type. We prove that the initial value problem has the solution if and only if some initial values are zero.

We investigate the existence of solutions for a Riemann-Liouville fractional differential equation with a nonlinearity dependent of fractional integrals, subject to nonlocal boundary conditions which contain various fractional derivatives and Riemann-Stieltjes integrals. In the proof of our main results we use different fixed point theorems.

This research paper is dedicated to the study of a class of boundary value problems for a nonlinear, implicit, hybrid, fractional, differential equation, supplemented with boundary conditions involving general fractional derivatives, known as the ϑ-Hilfer and ϑ-Riemann–Liouville fractional operators. The existence of solutions to the mentioned problem is obtained by some auxiliary conditions and applied Dhage’s fixed point theorem on Banach algebras. The considered problem covers some symmetry cases, with respect to a ϑ function. Moreover, we present a pertinent example to corroborate the reported results.
