The nonlinear planar response of cantilever metallic beams to combination parametric and external subcombination resonances is investigated, taking into account the effects of cubic geometric and inertia nonlinearities. The beams considered here are assumed to have large length-to-width aspect ratios and thin rectangular cross sections. Hence, the effects of shear deformations and rotatory inertia are neglected. For the case of combination parametric resonance, a two-mode Galerkin discretization along with Hamilton’s extended principle is used to obtain two second-order nonlinear ordinary-differential equations of motion and associated boundary conditions. Then, the method of multiple scales is applied to obtain a set of four first-order nonlinear ordinary-differential equations governing the modulation of the amplitudes and phases of the two excited modes. For the case of subcombination resonance, the method of multiple scales is applied directly to the Lagrangian and virtual-work term. Then using Hamilton’s extended principle, we obtain a set of four first-order nonlinear ordinary-differential equations governing the amplitudes and phases of the two excited modes. In both cases, the modulation equations are used to generate frequency- and force-response curves. We found that the trivial solution exhibits a jump as it undergoes a subcritical pitchfork bifurcation. Similarly, the nontrivial solutions also exhibit jumps as they undergo saddle-node bifurcations.

This paper develops and validates through a series of presentable examples, a comprehensive high-precision, and ultrafast computing concept for solving nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and partial differential equations (PDEs) with cellular neural networks (CNN). The core of this concept is a straightforward scheme that we call "nonlinear adaptive optimization (NAOP),” which is used for a precise template calculation for solving nonlinear ODEs and PDEs through CNN processors. One of the key contributions of this work is to demonstrate the possibility of transforming different types of nonlinearities displayed by various classical and well-known nonlinear equations (e.g., van der Pol-, Rayleigh-, Duffing-, Rössler-, Lorenz-, and Jerk-equations, just to name a few) unto first-order CNN elementary cells, and thereby enabling the easy derivation of corresponding CNN templates. Furthermore, in the case of PDE solving, the same concept also allows a mapping unto first-order CNN cells while considering one or even more nonlinear terms of the Taylor's series expansion generally used in the transformation of a PDE in a set of coupled nonlinear ODEs. Therefore, the concept of this paper does significantly contribute to the consolidation of CNN as a universal and ultrafast solver of nonlinear ODEs and/or PDEs. This clearly enables a CNN-based, real-time, ultraprecise, and low-cost computational engineering. As proof of concept, two examples of well-known ODEs are considered namely a second-order linear ODE and a second order nonlinear ODE of the van der Pol type. For each of these ODEs, the corresponding precise CNN templates are derived and are used to deduce the expected solutions. An implementation of the concept developed is possible even on embedded digital platforms (e.g., field programmable gate array (FPGA), digital signal processor (DSP), graphics processing unit (GPU), etc.). This opens a broad range of applications. Ongoing works (as outlook) are using NAOP for deriving precise templates for a selected set of practically interesting ODEs and PDEs equation models such as Lorenz-, Rössler-, Navier Stokes-, Schrödinger-, Maxwell-, etc.

This paper presents an investigation into the vibration and stability of a blade spinning with respect to a nonfixed axis. Due to the motion of the spin axis, parametric instability of the blade may occur in certain situations. In this work, the discretized equations of motion are first formulated by the finite element technique. Then the system equations are transformed, by a special modal analysis procedure, into independent sets of first-order simultaneous differential equations. Each set of differential equations is solved analytically by the method of multiple scales if the precessional speed of the spin axis is assumed to be small compared to the spin rate of the blade, yielding the system response and the expressions for the boundaries of the unstable regions. Finally, the effects of system parameters on the changes in these boundaries are studied numerically.

Governing dynamical equations of motion for a basketball rolling on the rim of a basket are developed and presented. These equations form a system of five first-order, ordinary differential equations. Given suitable initial conditions, these equations are readily integrated numerically. The results of these integrations predict the success (into the basket) or failure (off the outside of the rim) of the basketball shot. A series of examples are presented. The examples show that minor changes in the initial conditions can produce major changes in the subsequent ball motion. Shooting and coaching strategies are recommended.

AbstractWe consider two-point boundary value problems for systems of first-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Under natural conditions we show that on an arbitrary grid there exists a unique two-point exact difference scheme (EDS), i.e., a difference scheme whose solution coincides with the projection onto the grid of the exact solution of the corresponding system of differential equations. A constructive algorithm is proposed in order to derive from the EDS a so-called truncated difference scheme of an arbitrary rank. The m-TDS represents a system of nonlinear algebraic equations with respect to the approximate values of the exact solution on the grid. Iterative methods for its numerical solution are discussed. Analytical and numerical examples are given which illustrate the theorems proved. Keywords: systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations, difference scheme, exact difference scheme, truncated difference scheme of an arbitrary order of accuracy, fixed point iteration.

Nonlinear vibration of a fluid-conveying pipe subjected to a transverse external harmonic excitation is investigated in the case with two-to-one internal resonance. The excitation amplitude is in the same magnitude of the transverse displacement. The fluid in the pipes flows in the speed larger than the critical speed so that the straight configuration becomes an unstable equilibrium and two curved configurations bifurcate as stable equilibriums. The motion measured from each of curved equilibrium configurations is governed by a nonlinear integro-partial-differential equation with variable coefficients. The Galerkin method is employed to discretize the governing equation into a gyroscopic system consisting of a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The method of multiple scales is applied to analyze approximately the gyroscopic system. A set of first-order ordinary differential equations governing the modulations of the amplitude and the phase are derived via the method. In the supercritical regime, the subharmonic, superharmonic, and combination resonances are examined in the presence of the 2 : 1 internal resonance. The steady-state responses and their stabilities are determined. The various jump phenomena in the amplitude-frequency response curves are demonstrated. The effects of the viscosity, the excitation amplitude, the nonlinearity, and the flow speed are observed. The analytical results are supported by the numerical integration.
