The paper deals with free vibrations of a system with power-law nonlinear elasticity subjected to power-law viscous resistance. The relation between the nonlinearity indices is determined when the impact of the viscous resistance force causes the vibrations to die away. In this case the vibrations are limited in time i.e. consist of a finite number of cycles analogous to a system with Coulomb dry friction. The research exploits the energy balance method. The periodic Ateb-functions are used to obtain an approximate formula for the work of dissipative force over a semi-cycle of vibrations. A recursive power-law equation for the vibration swings is derived from the condition of equality of the work to the potential energy change. By analyzing the change of the coefficient in the equation, which is related to the change of the semi-cycle number as well as the vibration swings, the condition for the equation to have no positive root is determined, which means that the vibrations die away. The condition is formulated in the form of an inequality. It is shown to generalize the results previously known. The theoretical inferences are verified by numerical integration of the nonlinear differential equation of motion. It is shown that under the conditions proposed in the paper the free vibrations consist of a finite number of cycles even if dry friction is absent from the system. Special cases are highlighted, when the approximate energy balance method results into exact computational formulae. The length of the cycles increases during the motion since it depends on the swing of damped vibrations in the essentially nonlinear system with rigid force characteristics considered.

The article is devoted to the derivation of formulas for calculating the ranges of free damped oscillations of a double nonlinear oscillator. Using the Lambert function and the first integral of the nonlinear differential equation of motion, formulas are derived for calculating the ranges of free damped oscillations of a linearly elastic oscillator under the combined action of the forces of quadratic viscous resistance and Coulomb dry friction. The calculations involve a table of the specified special function of the negative argument. It is shown that the presence of viscous resistance reduces the duration of free oscillations to a complete stop of the oscillator. The set dynamics problem is also approximately solved by the energy balance method, and a numerical integration of the nonlinear differential equation of motion on a computer is carried out. The satisfactory convergence of the numerical results obtained in various ways confirmed the suitability of the derived closed formulas for engineering calculations. In addition to calculating the magnitude of the oscillations, the energy balance method is also used for an approximate solution of the inverse problem of dynamics, by identifying the values of the coefficient of quadratic resistance and dry friction force in the presence of an experimental vibrogram of free damped oscillations. An example of identification is given. This information on friction is needed to calculate forced oscillations, especially under resonance conditions. It is noted that from the obtained results, in some cases, well-known formulas follow, where the quadratic viscous resistance is not associated with dry friction.

This paper deals with investigating the nonlinear oscillation of carbon nanotube manufactured nano-resonator. The governing equation of the nano-resonator is extracted in the context of the nonlocal elasticity. The impact of the Casimir force is also incorporated in the developed model. A closed-form solution based on the energy balance method is presented for investigating the oscillations of the nano-resonator. The proposed closed-form solution is compared with the numerical solution. The impact of influential parameters including applied voltage, Casimir force, geometrical and nonlocal parameters on the nano resonator’s vibration and frequency are investigated. The obtained results demonstrated that the Casimir force reduces the nano-resonator frequency. However, the nonlocal parameter has a hardening effect and enhances the system’s frequency.

In this paper, we mainly focus on a fractal model of Fangzhu’s nanoscale surface for water collection which is established through He’s fractal derivative. Based on the fractal two-scale transform method, the approximate analytical solutions are obtained by the energy balance method and He’s frequency–amplitude formulation method with average residuals. Some specific numerical experiments of the model show that these two methods are simple and effective and can be adopted to other nonlinear fractal oscillators. In addition, these properties of the obtained solution reveal how to enhance the collection rate of Fangzhu by adjusting the smoothness of its surfaces.

A distributed snowmelt prediction model was developed for a mountain area. Topography of the study area was represented by a digital map. Cells On the map were divided into three surface-cover types; deciduous forest, evergreen forest and deforested area. Snowmelt rates for each cell were calculated by an energy balance method. Meteorological elements were estimated separately in each cell according to topographical characteristics and surface-cover type. Distributions of water equivalent of snow cover were estimated by the model. Snowmelt runoff in the watershed was also simulated by snowmelt rates calculated by the model. The model showed thai the snowmelt period and snowmelt runoff after timber harvests would be about two weeks earlier than under the forest-covered condition.
