Abstract Many wake-oscillator models applied to study vortex-induced vibration (VIV) are assumed to be excited by ideal wind that is assumed to be uniform flow with constant velocity. While in the field of wind engineering, the real wind generally is described to be composed of mean wind and fluctuating wind. The wake-oscillator excited by fluctuating wind should be treated as a randomly excited and dissipated multi-degree of freedom (DOF) nonlinear system. The involved studies are very difficult and so far there are no exact solutions available. The present paper aims to carry out some study works on the stochastic dynamics of VIV. The stochastic averaging method of quasi integrable Hamiltonian systems under wideband random excitation is applied to study the Hartlen-Currie wake-oscillator model and its modified model excited by fluctuating wind. The probability and statistics of the random response of wake-oscillator in resonant or lock-in case and in non-resonant case are analytically obtained, and the theoretical results are confirmed by using numerical simulation of original system. Finally, it is pointed out that the stochastic averaging method of quasi integrable Hamiltonian systems under wideband random excitation can also be applied to other wake-oscillator models, such as Skop-Griffin model and Krenk-Nielsen model excited by fluctuating wind.

The stochastic Hopf bifurcation of multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems with fractional derivative damping is investigated. First, the averaged Itô stochastic differential equations for n motion integrals are obtained by using the stochastic averaging method for quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems. Then, an expression for the average bifurcation parameter of the averaged system is obtained and a criterion for determining the stochastic Hopf bifurcation of the system by using the average bifurcation parameter is proposed. An example is given to illustrate the proposed procedure in detail and the numerical results show the effect of fractional derivative order on the stochastic Hopf bifurcation.

AbstractIn the present survey, some progress in the stochastic dynamics and fractional optimal control of quasi integrable Hamiltonian systems with fractional derivative damping is reviewed. First, the stochastic averaging method for quasi integrable Hamiltonian systems with fractional derivative damping under various random excitations is briefly introduced. Then, the stochastic stability, stochastic bifurcation, first passage time and reliability, and stochastic fractional optimal control of the systems studied by using the stochastic averaging method are summarized. The focus is placed on the effects of fractional derivative order on the dynamics and control of the systems. Finally, some possible extensions are pointed out.

The paper investigated the Van der Pol system with time-delay under random excitation by the higher stochastic averaging method. The original system was expressed in terms without time-delay under the assumption that the state variabled of the system were slowly varying processed. Then the higher stochastic averaging method was applied on the approximation system. By this technique, the analytical expression of the stationary probability density function for the Van der Pol system with time-delay under random excitation was showed in higher order approximation for the first time. Effects of the parameter time-delay on the system’s response were investigated. The analytical results were suited well to numerical ones obtained by Monte-Carlo method. It was also showed that the higher order averaging solution was better than the one obtained by the traditional stochastic averaging method.

Comprehensive surveys on the stochastic averaging method in random vibration until the late 1980s were given by Roberts and Spanos (1986) and Zhu (1988). The present paper reviews the recent developments and applications of the stochastic averaging method in random vibration since then. A major new development of the stochastic averaging method in recent years is the generalization of the method to multi-degree-of-freedom, quasi-Hamiltonian systems.

A stochastic averaging method is proposed to predict approximately the response of quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems, i.e., multi-degree-of-freedom integrable Hamiltonian systems subject to lightly linear and (or) nonlinear dampings and weakly external and (or) parametric excitations of Gaussian white noises. According to the present method an n-dimensional averaged Fokker-Planck-Kolmogrov (FPK) equation governing the transition probability density of n action variables or n independent integrals of motion can be constructed in nonresonant case. In a resonant case with α resonant relations, an (n + α)-dimensional averaged FPK equation governing the transition probability density of n action variables and α combinations of phase angles can be obtained. The procedures for obtaining the stationary solutions of the averaged FPK equations for both resonant and nonresonant cases are presented. It is pointed out that the Stratonovich stochastic averaging and the stochastic averaging of energy envelope are two special cases of the present stochastic averaging. Two examples are given to illustrate the application and validity of the proposed method.

The averaged equations of integrable and nonresonant Hamiltonian systems of multi-degree-of-freedom subject to light damping and real noise excitations of small intensities are first derived. Then, the expression for the largest Lyapunov exponent of the square root of the Hamiltonian is formulated by generalizing the well-known procedure due to Khasminskii to the averaged equations, from which the stochastic stability and bifurcation phenomena of the original systems can be determined approximately. Linear and nonlinear stochastic systems of two degrees-of-freedom are investigated to illustrate the application of the proposed combination approach of the stochastic averaging method for quasi-integrable Hamiltonian systems and Khasminskii’s procedure.

An improved stochastic averaging method of the energy envelope is proposed, whose application sphere is extensive and whose implementation is convenient. An oscillating system with both nonlinear damping and stiffness is taken into account. Its averaged Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov (FPK) equation in respect of the transition probability density function of the energy envelope is deduced by virtue of the method mentioned above. Under the initial and boundary conditions, the joint probability density function as to the displacement and velocity of the system is worked out in closed form after solving the averaged FPK equation by right of a technique based on the integral transformation. With the aid of the special functions, the transient solutions of the probabilistic characteristics of the system response are further derived analytically, including the probability density functions and the mean square values. A simple approach to generate the ideal white noise is drastically ameliorated in order to produce the stationary wide-band stochastic external excitation for the Monte Carlo simulating investigation of the nonlinear system. Both the theoretical solution and the numerical solution of the probabilistic properties of the system response are obtained, which are extremely coincident with each other. The numerical simulation and the theoretical computation all show that the time factor has a certain influence on the probability characteristics of the response. For example, the probabilistic distribution of the displacement tends to be scattered and the mean square displacement trends toward its steady-state value as time goes by. Of course the transient process to reach the steady-state value will obviously be shorter if the damping of the system is greater.

We consider bifurcation regulations under the effects of correlated noise and delay self-control feedback excitation in a birhythmic model. Firstly, the term of delay self-control feedback is transferred into state variables without delay by harmonic approximation. Secondly, FPK equation and stationary probability density function (SPDF) for amplitude can be theoretically mapped with stochastic averaging method. Thirdly, the intriguing effects on bifurcation regulations in a birhythmic model induced by delay and correlated noise are observed, which suggest the violent dependence of bifurcation in this model on delay and correlated noise. Particularly, the inner limit cycle (LC) is always standing due to noise. Lastly, the validity of analytical results was confirmed by Monte Carlo simulation for the dynamics.
