In this paper, the rigid–flexible coupled model of a spacecraft composed of a rigid platform and two flexible solar arrays is investigated. Considering the rapid maneuver of a spacecraft, the first-order approximation coupling model should be adopted. The nonlinear dynamic equations, which remain the second-order coupling terms of axial displacement caused by the transverse motion of solar arrays, are obtained by using the Hamilton principle. Then the global mode method is adopted to obtain the mode shapes of the linearized model. The global mode shapes are proved to be orthogonal and used to discrete the continuum first-order approximation coupling model. Then the rigid–flexible coupled model of the spacecraft is decoupled by global mode shapes. The model is validated by comparing with that obtained from the finite element method. The simulation results demonstrate that the global mode method has the advantage of lower dimensions but higher accuracy. The analysis of parameters variation and dynamic responses shows that the first-order approximation coupling model is more accurate than the linearized model and has a broader scope of application than that of the zero-order approximation coupling model.

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.

First-order approximation of the number-projected (NP) SO(2N) Tamm-Dancoff (TD) equation is developed to describe ground and excited states of superconducting fermion systems. We start from an NP Hartree-Bogoliubov (HB) wave function. The NP SO(2N) TD expansion is generated by quasi-particle pair excitations from the degenerate geminals in the number-projected HB wave function. The Schrödinger equation is cast into the NP SO(2N) TD equation by the variation principle. We approximate it up to first order. This approximate equation is reduced to a simpler form by the Schur function of group characters which has a close connection with the soliton theory on the group manifold.

Abstract Dynamical systems with two degrees-of-freedom, with quadratic nonlinearities and parametric excitations are studied in this analysis. The 1:2 superharmonic internal resonance case is analyzed. The method of harmonic balance is used to obtain a set of four first-order amplitude equations that govern the dynamics of the first-order approximation of the response. An analytical technique, based on Melnikov’s method is used to predict the parameter range for which chaotic dynamics exist in the undamped averaged system. Numerical studies show that chaotic responses are quite common in these quadratic systems and chaotic responses occur even in presence of damping.

The iteratively reweighted least-squares (IRLS) technique has been widely employed in geodetic and geophysical literature. The reliability measures are important diagnostic tools for inferring the strength of the model validation. An exact analytical method is adopted to obtain insights on how much iterative reweighting can affect the quality indicators. Theoretical analyses and numerical results show that, when the downweighting procedure is performed, (1) the precision, all kinds of dilution of precision (DOP) metrics and the minimal detectable bias (MDB) will become larger; (2) the variations of the bias-to-noise ratio (BNR) are involved, and (3) all these results coincide with those obtained by the first-order approximation method.
