An extended variational principle providing the equations of motion for a system consisting of interacting classical, quasiclassical, and quantum components is presented, and applied to the model of bilinear coupling. The relevant dynamical variables are expressed in the form of a quantum state vector that includes the action of the classical subsystem in its phase factor. It is shown that the statistical ensemble of Brownian state vectors for a quantum particle in a classical thermal environment can be described by a density matrix evolving according to a nonlinear quantum Fokker–Planck equation. Exact solutions of this equation are obtained for a two-level system in the limit of high temperatures, considering both stationary and nonstationary initial states. A treatment of the common time shared by the quantum system and its classical environment as a collective variable, rather than as a parameter, is presented in the Appendix.

The Impact

Treatment of the first natural frequency of a rotating nanocomposite beam reinforced with graphene platelet is discussed here. In regard of the Timoshenko beam theory hypothesis, the motion equations are acquired. The effective elasticity modulus of the rotating nanocomposite beam is specified resorting to the Halpin–Tsai micro mechanical model. The Ritz technique is utilized for the sake of discretization of the nonlinear equations of motion. The first natural frequency of the rotating nanocomposite beam prior to the buckling instability and the associated post-critical natural frequency is computed by means of a powerful iteration scheme in reliance on the Newton–Raphson method alongside the iteration strategy. The impact of adding the graphene platelet to a rotating isotropic beam in thermal ambient is discussed in detail. The impression of support conditions, and the weight fraction and the dispersion type of the graphene platelet on the acquired outcomes are studied. It is elucidated that when a beam has not undergone a temperature increment, by reinforcing the beam with graphene platelet, the natural frequency is enhanced. However, when the beam is in a thermal environment, at low-to-medium range of rotational velocity, adding the graphene platelet diminishes the first natural frequency of a rotating O-GPL nanocomposite beam. Depending on the temperature, the post-critical natural frequency of a rotating X-GPL nanocomposite beam may be enhanced or reduced by the growth of the graphene platelet weight fraction.

Abstract The nonlinear dynamics of a circular spinning disc parametrically excited by noise of small intensity is investigated. The governing PDEs are reduced using a Galerkin reduction procedure to a two-DOF system of ODEs which, govern the transverse motion of the disc. The dynamics is simplified by exploiting the S1 invariance of the equations of motion of the reduced system and further, reduced by performing stochastic averaging. The resulting one-dimensional Markov diffusive process is studied in detail. The stationary probability density distribution is obtained by solving the Fokker-Planck equation along with the appropriate boundary conditions. The boundary behaviour is studied using an asymptotic approach. Some aspects of dynamical and phenomenological bifurcations of the stationary solution are also investigated. The scheme of things presented here can be applied in principle to a four-dimensional Hamiltonian system possessing one integral of motion in addition to the hamiltonian and having one fixed point.

Viscoelastic Core

This work presents a finite-element-based numerical formulation to evaluate the nonlinear deflections of magneto-electro-elastic sandwich skew plates with a viscoelastic core and functionally graded carbon nanotube-reinforced magneto-electro-elastic face sheets. Meanwhile, the proposed formulation accommodates the geometrical skewness as well. The magneto-electro-elastic sandwich skew plate is operated in the thermal environment and subjected to various multiphysics loads, including electric and magnetic loads. The viscoelastic core is modelled via the complex modulus approach. Two different forms of viscoelastic cores, such as Dyad 606 and EC 2216, are considered in this study. Also, different thickness configurations of core and facing arrangements are taken into account. The plate kinematics is presumed through higher-order shear deformation theory, and von Karman's nonlinear strain displacement relations are incorporated. The global equations of motion are arrived at through the total potential energy principle and solved via the direct iterative method. Special attention is paid to assessing the influence of pyroeffects, coupling fields and electromagnetic boundary conditions on the nonlinear deflections of magneto-electro-elastic sandwich plates working in the thermal environment and subjected to electromagnetic loads, which is the first of its kind. Also, parametric studies dealing with the skew angles, carbon nanotube distributions and volume fractions, thickness ratio, and aspect ratio have been discussed. The results of this work are believed to be unique and serve as a guide for the design engineers towards developing sophisticated smart structures for various engineering applications.

We determine the approximate Noether point symmetries of the variational principle characterizing second-order equations of motion of a particle in a (finite-dimensional) Riemannian manifold. In particular, the Lagrangian comprises of kinetic energy and a potential [Formula: see text], perturbed to [Formula: see text]. We establish a convenient system of approximate geometric conditions that suffices for the computation of approximate Noether symmetry vectors and moreover, simplifies the problem of the effect of higher orders of the perturbation. The general results are applied to several practical problems of interest and we find extra Noether symmetries at [Formula: see text].

Abstract Protozoa of the genus Sarcocystis (phylum Apicomplexa, family Sarcocystidae) is one of the most common parasites affecting animals. Interspecies diagnostic of Sarcocystis genus was based on electron microscopy for many years. Because of absence of visible differences between species with reachable magnifications, light microscopy is useless. In many cases serological diagnostic method have lack of sensitivity. A variety of molecular methods have been developed and used to detect and identify Sarcocystis spp. and to assess the genetic diversity among this protozoan from different population/hosts. Nowadays, molecular diagnostic is the common, time/cost effective method used all over the world to interspecies differentiation.

Rigorous Solution

A kinetic equation for a two-dimensional inviscid hydrodynamic fluid is derived in two ways. First, the equations of motion for the modes of the fluid are interpreted as stochastic equations resembling the Langevin equation. To lowest order a Fokker–Planck equation can be derived which is the kinetic equation for one mode. Secondly, a suitable iteration scheme is applied to the Hopf equation which results in the same kinetic equation. A parameter describing the time scale is arbitrary and cannot be determined by the applied methods alone. It is shown that the kinetic equation satisfies the conservation requirements and relaxes to an equilibrium which is a rigorous solution of the Hopf equation.

This paper presents a direct vectorial derivation of the famous Boltzmann-Hamel equations of motion of discrete mechanical systems, in general nonlinear nonholonomic coordinates and under general nonlinear (velocity) nonholonomic constraints. The connection between particle and system vectors is stressed throughout, in all relevant kinematic and kinetic quantities/principles/theorems. The specialization of these results to the common case of linear nonholonomic coordinates and linear nonholonomic (i.e., Pfaffian) constraints is carried out in the paper’s Appendix.
