The nonlinear dynamic analysis is performed on parametrically excited, viscoelastic moving-belts at summation resonance. The belt material behavior is described by a Voigt-Kelvin model. Closed-form solutions are derived at the first order approximation. Focus is put on the stability of the nontrivial solutions. The explicit expressions on the stability conditions are obtained, and then simplified through numerical simulations. The influences of moving speed and tension fluctuation on the stability of the nontrivial solutions are also demonstrated.

Abstract By using a standard linear solid model to describe the viscoelasticity of the belt material, a vibration analysis of a parametrically excited moving belt is performed. Closed-form solutions at principal resonance and summation resonance are derived at the first order approximation. The existence conditions and stability are discussed for the nontrivial solutions, yielding explicit expressions of the existence and the stability conditions in terms of the detuning parameter. Numerical examples clearly show the effects of tension fluctuations and translating speeds on the amplitudes of dynamic responses, the corresponding existence domains and the stability of the solutions. It is also demonstrated that the stability domains of the nontrivial solutions are different from those corresponding to elastic models.

In this paper, we extend the first-order asymptotics analysis of Fouque et al. to general path-dependent financial derivatives using Dupire’s functional Itô calculus. The main conclusion is that the market group parameters calibrated to vanilla options can be used to price to the same order exotic, path-dependent derivatives as well. Under general conditions, the first-order condition is represented by a conditional expectation that could be numerically evaluated. Moreover, if the path-dependence is not too severe, we are able to find path-dependent closed-form solutions equivalent to the first-order approximation of path-independent options derived in Fouque et al. Additionally, we exemplify the results with Asian options and options on quadratic variation.

Tension fluctuations are the dominant source of excitation in automotive belts. In particular designs, these fluctuations may parametrically excite large amplitude transverse belt vibrations and adversely impact belt life. This paper evaluates an efficient discrete model of a parametrically excited translating belt. The efficiency derives from the use of translating string eigenfunctions as a basis for a Galerkin discretization of the equations of transverse belt response. Accurate and low-order models lead to simple closed-form solutions for the existence and stability of limit cycles near parametric instability regions. In particular, simple expressions are found for the stability boundaries of the general nth-mode principal parametric instability regions and the first summation and difference parametric instability regions. Subsequent evaluation of the weakly nonlinear equation of motion leads to an analytical expression for the amplitudes (and stability) of nontrivial limit cycles that exist around the nth-mode principal parametric instability regions. Example results highlight important conclusions concerning the response of automotive belt drives.

The stability of an axially moving string system subjected to parametric excitation resulting from speed fluctuations has been examined in this paper. The time-dependent velocity is assumed to be a harmonically varying function around a (low) constant mean speed. The method of characteristic coordinates in combination with the two timescales perturbation method is used to compute the first-order approximation of the solutions of the equations of motion that governs the transverse vibrations of an axially moving string. It turns out that the system can give rise to resonances when the velocity fluctuation frequency is equal (or close) to an odd multiple of the natural frequency of the system. The stability conditions are investigated analytically in terms of the displacement-response and the energy of the system near the resonances. The effects of the detuning parameter on the amplitudes of vibrations and on the energy of the system are also presented through numerical simulations.

In this paper, the vibration of a micro-electromechanical resonator with positive position feedback controller is studied. The analytical results are obtained to the first order approximation by using the multiple scale perturbation technique. The stability of the steady-state solution is presented and studied applying frequency response equations near the simultaneous primary and internal resonance cases. The effects of the controller and some system parameters on the vibrating system are studied numerically. The main result of this paper indicates that it is possible to reduce the vibration for the resonator system.

This study established the fuzzy logic modeling of the stochastic finite element method based on the first-order approximation theorem. Fuzzy mathematical models of safety repertories were incorporated into the stochastic finite element method to analyze the stability of embankments and foundations in order to describe the fuzzy failure procedure for the random safety performance function. The fuzzy models were developed with membership functions with half depressed gamma distribution, half depressed normal distribution, and half depressed echelon distribution. The result shows that the middle region of the dike is the principal zone of concentrated failure due to local fractures. There is also some local shear failure on the dike crust. This study provides a referential method for solving complex multi-uncertainty problems in engineering safety analysis.

Abstract The approximate analytical solution for the propagation of gas ionizing cylindrical blast (shock) wave in a rotational axisymmetric non-ideal gas with azimuthal or axial magnetic field is investigated. The axial and azimuthal components of fluid velocity are taken into consideration and these flow variables, magnetic field in the ambient medium are assumed to be varying according to the power laws with distance from the axis of symmetry. The shock is supposed to be strong one for the ratio C 0 V s 2 ${\left(\frac{{C}_{0}}{{V}_{s}}\right)}^{2}$ to be a negligible small quantity, where C 0 is the sound velocity in undisturbed fluid and V S is the shock velocity. In the undisturbed medium the density is assumed to be constant to obtain the similarity solution. The flow variables in power series of C 0 V s 2 ${\left(\frac{{C}_{0}}{{V}_{s}}\right)}^{2}$ are expanded to obtain the approximate analytical solutions. The first order and second order approximations to the solutions are discussed with the help of power series expansion. For the first order approximation the analytical solutions are derived. In the flow-field region behind the blast wave the distribution of the flow variables in the case of first order approximation is shown in graphs. It is observed that in the flow field region the quantity J 0 increases with an increase in the value of gas non-idealness parameter or Alfven-Mach number or rotational parameter. Hence, the non-idealness of the gas and the presence of rotation or magnetic field have decaying effect on shock wave.
