Abstract The surface quasigeostrophic (SQG) model is developed to describe the dynamics of flows with zero potential vorticity in the presence of one or two horizontal boundaries (Earth surface and tropopause). Within the framework of this model, the problems of linear and nonlinear stability of zonal spatially periodic flows are considered. To study the linear stability of flows with one boundary, two approaches are used. In the first approach, the solution is sought by decomposing into a trigonometric series, and the growth rate of the perturbations is found from the characteristic equation containing an infinite continued fraction. In the second approach, few-mode Galerkin approximations of the solution are constructed. It is shown that both approaches lead to the same dependence of the growth increment on the wavenumber of perturbations. The existence of instability with a preferred horizontal scale on the order of the wavelength of the main flow follows from this dependence. A similar result is obtained within the framework of the SQG model with two horizontal boundaries. The Galerkin method with three basis trigonometric functions is also used to study the nonlinear dynamics of perturbations, described by a system of three nonlinear differential equations similar to that describing the motion of a symmetric top in classical mechanics. An analysis of the solutions of this system shows that the exponential growth of disturbances at the linear stage is replaced by a stage of stable nonlinear oscillations (vacillations). The results of numerical integration of full nonlinear SQG equations confirm this analysis.

This work studies the nonlinear oscillations of an elastic rotating shaft with acceleration to pass through the critical speeds. A mathematical model incorporating the Von-Karman higher-order deformations in bending is developed to investigate the nonlinear dynamics of rotors. A flexible shaft on flexible bearings with springs and dampers is considered as rotor system for this work. The shaft is modeled as a beam and the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory is applied. The kinetic and strain energies of the rotor system are derived and Lagrange method is then applied to obtain the coupled nonlinear differential equations of motion for 6 degrees of freedom. In order to solve these equations numerically, the finite element method (FEM) is used. Furthermore, for different bearing properties, rotor responses are examined and curves of passing through critical speeds with angular acceleration due to applied torque are plotted. Then the optimal values of bearing stiffness and damping are calculated to achieve the minimum vibration amplitude, which causes to pass easier through critical speeds. It is concluded that the value of damping and stiffness of bearing change the rotor critical speeds and also significantly affect the dynamic behavior of the rotor system. These effects are also presented graphically and discussed.

This research presents the mathematical modeling for the nonlinear oscillations analysis of a pre-stretched hyperelastic annular membrane with varying density under finite deformations. The membrane material is assumed to be homogeneous, isotropic, and neo-Hookean and the variation of the membrane density in the radial direction is investigated. The membrane is first subjected to a uniform radial traction along its outer circumference and the stretched membrane is fixed along the outer boundary. Then the equations of motion of the pre-stretched membrane are derived. From the linearized equations of motion, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the membrane are obtained analytically. The vibration modes are described by hypergeometric functions, which are used to approximate the nonlinear deformation field using the Galerkin method. The results are compared with the results evaluated for the same membrane using a nonlinear finite element formulation. The results show the influence of the stretching ratio and varying density on the linear and nonlinear oscillations of the membrane.

AbstractIn this paper, the sinc-Galerkin method is used for numerically solving a class of nonlinear differential equations with boundary conditions. The importance of this study is that sinc approximation of the nonlinear term is stated as a new theorem. The method introduced here is tested on some nonlinear problems and is shown to be a very efficient and powerful tool for obtaining approximate solutions of nonlinear ordinary differential equations.

The Stability

The stability characteristics for spatially periodic parallel flows of an incompressible fluid (both inviscid and viscous) are studied. A general formula for the determination of the stability characteristics of periodic flows to long waves is obtained, and applied to approximate numerically the stability curves for the sinusoidal velocity profile. The neutral curve for the sinusoidal velocity profile is obtained analytically. The stability of two broken-line velocity profiles in an inviscid fluid is studied and the results are used to describe the overall pattern for the sinusoidal velocity profile in the case of long waves. In an inviscid fluid it is found that all periodic flows (other than the trivial flow in which the basic velocity is constant) are unstable to long waves with a value of the phase speed determined by simple integrals of the basic flow. In a viscous fluid it is found that the sinusoidal velocity profile is very unstable with the inviscid solution being a good approximation to the solution of the viscous problem when the value of the Reynolds number is greater than about 20.

An analytic method referred to as the harmonic balancing technique has been applied in order to study the effect of diffusion between compartments (coupling between pools) on the Yates-Pardee-Goodwin metabolic pathway. The behaviour of the pathway is modelled on a set of coupled ordinary nonlinear differential equations. This set is transformed into a single feedback control loop with a nonlinear function and a linear filter. It is shown that coupling modifies the linear filter such that the frequency and the amplitude of the oscillations decrease. Further results are then obtained by numerical studies, and compared with the analytical approach and previous stability analysis of metabolic pathways.

The aim of the present work is to investigate the nonlinear vibration response of a pre-stretched rectangular hyperelastic membrane resting on a nonlinear elastic foundation. The membrane is composed of an isotropic, homogeneous and hyperelastic material, which is modeled as a Mooney-Rivlin incompressible material. The elastic foundation is described by a Winkler type nonlinear model with cubic nonlinearity. First the exact solution of the membrane under a biaxial stretch is obtained. Then the equations of motion of the pre-stretched membrane resting on the nonlinear foundation are derived. From the linearized equations, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the membrane are obtained analytically. Then the natural modes are used to approximate the nonlinear deformation field using the Galerkin method. The results compare well with the results evaluated for the same membrane using a nonlinear finite element formulation. The results show the strong influence of the initial stretching ratio and foundation parameters on the linear and nonlinear oscillations and stability of the membrane.

In the paper, the nonlinear oscillations of a two-layer fluid that completely fills a limited tank are theoretically studied. To determine any smooth function on the deflected interface, the Taylor series expansions are considered using the values of the function and its normal derivatives on the undisturbed interface of the fluids. Using two fundamental asymmetric harmonics, which are generated in two mutually perpendicular planes, the differential equations of nonlinear oscillations of the two-layer fluid interface are investigated. As a result, the frequency-response characteristics are presented and the instability regions of the forced oscillations of the two-layer fluid in the cylindrical tank are plotted, as well as the parametric resonance regions for different densities of the upper and lower fluids. The Bubnov-Galerkin method is used to plot instability regions for the approximate solution to nonlinear differential equations. At the final stage of the work, the nonlinear effects resulting from the interaction of fluids with a rigid tank that executes harmonic oscillations at the interface of the fluids are theoretically studied.
