Abstract The three-parameter fluid viscous damper is used to isolate micro-vibration produced by control torque gyro (CMG) in satellite. In this paper, the damper is simplified by a single tube fluid viscous damper and two springs connected to the damping piston. With consideration of the principal stiffness of the bellows and the contraction and expansion effect of the damping orifice, the approximate analytical nonlinear model of the damper is established and verified by the computation fluid mechanics (CFD) method. Based on this analytical model, the displacement response of the damper and correction coefficient of hydraulic resistance are analyzed, the nonlinear characteristics in the frequency domain are also revealed. Furthermore, the energy consumptions of the nonlinear model and linear model are researched. The results show that the damper has an obvious amplitude at the first resonance peak, but not obvious at the second resonance peak. The vibration amplitude of the damping piston is only um level in the high-frequency domain. The correction coefficient of the hydraulic resistance at the resonance peak is much higher than other frequencies, which causes a significant nonlinear behavior. In addition, the energy consumption of the nonlinear model is larger than that of the linear model at the resonance peak, and the larger the resonance peak, the more obvious the phenomenon is. This means that the nonlinear damping can be used to further improve the suppression of the resonance peak of the three-parameter fluid viscous damper.

Purpose Bellows-type fluid viscous damper can be used to isolate micro vibration in high-precision satellites. The conventional model cannot describe hydraulic stiffness in the medium- and high-frequency domain of this damper. A simplified analytical model needs to be established to analyze hydraulic stiffness of the damping element in this damper. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, a bellows-type fluid viscous damper is researched, and a simplified model of the damping element in this damper is proposed. Based on this model, the hydraulic stiffness and damping of this damper in the medium- and high-frequency domains are studied, and a comparison is made between the analytical model and a finite element model to verify the analytical model. Findings The results show that when silicone oil has low viscosity, a model that considers the influence of the initial segment of the damping orifice is more reasonable. In the low-frequency domain, hydraulic stiffness increases quickly with frequency and remains stable when the frequency increases to a certain value; the stable stiffness can reach 106 N/m, which is much higher than the main stiffness. Excessive dynamic stiffness in the high-frequency domain will cause poor vibration isolation performance. Adding compensation bellows to the end of the original isolator may be an effective solution. Practical implications A model of the isolator containing the compensation bellows can be derived based on this analytical model. This research can also be used for dynamic modeling and vibration isolation performance analysis of a vibration isolation platform based on this bellows-type fluid viscous damper. Originality/value This paper proposed a simplified model of damping element in bellows-type fluid viscous damper, which can be used to analyze hydraulic stiffness in this damper and it was found that this damper showed stable hydraulic stiffness in the medium- and high-frequency domains.

We study a model of population dynamics describing pregnancy: our model is composed by an equation describing the evolution of the total population, and an equation describing the evolution of pregnant individuals. These equations are of course coupled: one coupling expresses that the total population varies with the number of born people, and another coupling says that the number of fecundated individuals depends on the total population. We study three models of that type: a linear model without diffusion, a nonlinear model without diffusion and a linear model with diffusion. For these three models, we study precisely the qualitative properties and the asymptotic behavior of the solutions.

Abstract This paper presents a nonlinear model to describe the bending behaviour of a rotating shaft, based on the general theory of a bending bar. Justification for this theoretical model has been provided by tests, the resulting curves more closely fitting observed results than those of other models.

This paper uses a SETAR model to determine threshold(s) in the RMB/US$ exchange rate from 1981 to 2016 using monthly data. Also, it compares the forecast performance of the univariate nonlinear model to a univariate linear model. We further analyze the forecast performance of the SETAR model to a multivariate linear model, e.g., a Reduced-form VAR. In addition, the research assesses the claim by Boero and Marrocu (2002) that the root mean square error masks the superiority of the nonlinear models.We found five significant thresholds in the RMB/US$ exchange rate, and this result reflects five major episodes of policy reforms or structural changes in the renminbi exchange rates from the period 1981 to 2016. We also found that the univariate nonlinear model out performs both the univariate and multivariate linear models in predicting the exchange rate movements. This finding is consistent with the results in Kyei and Gyamfi (2016), Boero and Marrocu (2002), Krager and Kugler (1993), Peel and Speight (1994) and Chappell et al. (1996). Furthermore, we did not find any evidence of the root mean square error masking the superiority of the nonlinear model.

On the basis of the analysis of the second layer of DWT high amplitude coefficients before and after printing and scanning, we propose a correction algorithm for Print-scan resistant Digital Watermarking Algorithms Based on DWT. This correction algorithm corrects in the frequency domain, multiplying the coefficients by a correction coefficient and determining the best correction coefficient by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Contrast with two common methods to correct the distorted pixels: brightness transformation and contrast stretching transformation, this correction algorithm has the character of less calculation and takes the influence of print and scan on the surrounding pixels into account. At last, after applying it to several test images and all the NC values becoming bigger, the proposed correction algorithm is proved to be effective and universal.

The joint time-frequency analysis method is adopted to study the nonlinear behavior varying with the instantaneous response for a class of S.D.O.F nonlinear system. A time-frequency masking operator, together with the conception of effective time-frequency region of the asymptotic signal are defined here. Based on these mathematical foundations, a so-called skeleton linear model (SLM) is constructed which has similar nonlinear characteristics with the nonlinear system. Two skeleton curves are deduced which can indicate the stiffness and damping in the nonlinear system. The relationship between the SLM and the nonlinear system, both parameters and solutions, is clarified. Based on this work a new identification technique of nonlinear systems using the nonstationary vibration data will be proposed through time-frequency filtering technique and wavelet transform in the following paper.
