We present a systematic procedure for deriving the model of a cable transporter system with arbitrarily varying cable lengths. The Hamilton principle is applied to derive the governing equations of motion. The derived governing equations are nonlinear partial differential equations. The results are verified using the Newton law. The assumed mode method is used to obtain an approximate numerical solution of the governing equations by transforming the infinite-dimensional partial differential equations into a finite-dimensional discretized system. We propose a Lyapunov controller, based directly on the governing partial differential equations, which can both dissipate the vibratory energy during the motion of the transporter and guarantee the attainment of the desired goal point. The validity of the proposed controller is verified by numerical simulation.

A systematic procedure for deriving the system model of a cable transporter system with arbitrarily time-varying lengths is presented. Two different approaches are used to develop the model, namely, Newton’s Law and Hamilton’s Principle. The derived governing equations are nonlinear partial differential equations. The same results are obtained using the two methods. The Rayleigh-Ritz method is used to obtain an approximate numerical solution of the governing equations by transforming the infinite order partial differential equations into a finite order discretized system. A Lyapunov controller which can both dissipate the vibratory energy and assure the attainment of the desired goal is derived. The validity of the proposed controller is verified by numerical simulation.

Abstract As a first approximation, a steel-belted radial tire can be modeled as a one dimensional rotating ring connected elastically to a moving hub. This ring can be modeled mathematically using a set of three nonlinear partial differential equations, where the three degrees of freedom are a radial displacement, a tangential displacement and a section rotation. In this study, only quadratic geometric nonlinearities are considered. The system is excited by a temporally harmonic point load f^(t) and a temporally harmonic hub motion z^(t) that have the same harmonic frequency. The point load f^(t) appears in the equations of motion as a single in-homogeneous term, while the hub motion z^(t) appears in inhomogeneous and parametric excitation terms. To simplifying the ensuing analysis, the rotation rate of the hub is assumed to be constant. The partial differential equations of motion are reduced to a set of four second-order ordinary differential equations by using two linear normal modes to approximate the spatial distribution of the displacements. A region of the parameter space, as defined by ranges of values of the excitation amplitude z and the excitation frequency ω (or detuning parameter σ), is identified, from a Strutt diagram, where the parametric excitation is expected to be dominant. In this region σ is varied to locate a secondary Hopf bifurcation that leads to a set of complex steady-state quasi-periodic solutions. These solutions contain two families of frequency components where the fundamental frequencies of these families are non-commensurate, and they are characterized by Poincaré sections with closed or nearly closed “orbits” as opposed to the distinct points displayed by periodic responses and the strange attractor sections displayed by chaotic solutions.

We introduce a continuum modeling method to approximate a class of large wireless networks by nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). This method is based on the convergence of a sequence of underlying Markov chains of the network indexed byN, the number of nodes in the network. AsNgoes to infinity, the sequence converges to a continuum limit, which is the solution of a certain nonlinear PDE. We first describe PDE models for networks with uniformly located nodes and then generalize to networks with nonuniformly located, and possibly mobile, nodes. Based on the PDE models, we develop a method to control the transmissions in nonuniform networks so that the continuum limit is invariant under perturbations in node locations. This enables the networks to maintain stable global characteristics in the presence of varying node locations.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to extend results from [A. Cañada, J. A. Montero and S. Villegas, Lyapunov inequalities for partial differential equations, J. Funct. Anal. 237 (2006), 1, 176–193] about Lyapunov-type inequalities for linear partial differential equations to nonlinear partial differential equations with 𝑝-Laplacian with zero Neumann or Dirichlet boundary conditions.

AbstractThis article scrutinizes the efficacy of analytical mathematical schemes, improved simple equation and exp(-\text{Ψ}(\xi ))-expansion techniques for solving the well-known nonlinear partial differential equations. A longitudinal wave model is used for the description of the dispersion in the circular rod grounded via transverse Poisson’s effect; similarly, the Boussinesq equation is used for extensive wave propagation on the surface of water. Many other such types of equations are also solved with these techniques. Hence, our methods appear easier and faster via symbolic computation.
