Abstract The recent holistic trends in metaphysics are surveyed here and a tentative typology is offered. The non-linear mode of composition is suggested as the key feature of holism, apart from its familiar non-reductionism and emergentism. It is argued that those holistic views are promising that refrain from extreme relationalism based on the denial of there being self-subsistence particulars; also, those refraining from the postulation of an unarticulated all-embracing whole where both relations and terms are denied to be genuine ontological items. The further suggestion is that a trade-off between the holistic perspective and the limits imposed upon it in the form of built-in confinements may help in making this metaphysics go.

Resonant Triads

ABSTRACT The vertical-shear instability (VSI) is studied through weakly non-linear analysis of unmagnetized vertically isothermal thin Keplerian discs under small radial temperature gradients. Vertically global and radially local axisymmetric compressible perturbations are considered. The VSI excites three classes of quasi-resonant triads of non-linearly interacting modes characterized by distinct temporal evolution. Most of the triads belong to the two-mode regime of non-linear interaction. Such triads are comprised of one unstable non-linear mode that grows quasi-exponentially, and two other modes that practically decoupled from the former. The latter two modes perform non-linear oscillations around their either linear prototypes (class I) or respective initial values (class II). The rest of the resonant triads belong to class III where all three modes exhibit non-linear oscillations. The proposed model describes an intermediate non-linear stage of the VSI prior to its saturation.

Analytical Expressions

The present work concerns the nonlinear dynamic behaviour of fully clamped skew plates at large vibration amplitudes. A model based on Hamilton’s principle and spectral analysis has been used to study the large amplitude free vibration problem, reducing the non linear problem to solution of a set of non-linear algebraic equations. Two methods of solution have been adopted, the first method uses an improved version of the Newton-Raphson method, and the second leads to explicit analytical expressions for the higher mode contribution coefficients to the first non-linear mode shape of the skew plate examined. The amplitude dependent fundamental mode shape and the associated non-linear frequencies have been obtained by the two methods and a good convergence has been found. It was found that the non-linear frequencies increase with increasing the amplitude of vibration, which corresponds to the hardening type effect, expected in similar cases, due to the membrane forces induced by the large vibration amplitudes. The non-linear mode exhibits a higher bending stress near to the clamps at large deflections, compared with that predicted by linear theory. Numerical details are presented and the comparison made between the results obtained and previous ones available in the literature shows a satisfactory agreement. Tables of numerical results are given, corresponding to the linear and nonlinear cases for various values of the skew angle θ and various values of the vibration amplitude. These results, similar to those previously published for other plates, are expected to be useful to designers in the need of accurate estimates of the non-linear frequencies, the non linear strains and stresses induced by large vibration amplitudes of skew plates.
