A comparison study of steady-state vibrations with single fractional-order and distributed-order derivatives
AbstractWe conduct a detailed study and comparison for the one-degree-of-freedom steady-state vibrations under harmonic driving with a single fractional-order derivative and a distributed-order derivative. For each of the two vibration systems, we consider the stiffness contribution factor and damping contribution factor of the term of fractional derivatives, the amplitude and the phase difference for the response. The effects of driving frequency on these response quantities are discussed. Also the influences of the orderαof the fractional derivative and the parameterγparameterizing the weight function in the distributed-order derivative are analyzed. Two cases display similar response behaviors, but the stiffness contribution factor and damping contribution factor of the distributed-order derivative are almost monotonic change with the parameterγ, not exactly like the case of single fractional-order derivative for the orderα. The case of the distributed-order derivative provides us more options for the weight function and parameters.
