Because of many real problems are better characterized using fractional-order models, fractional calculus has recently become an intensively developing area of calculus not only among mathematicians but also among physicists and engineers as well. Fractional oscillator and fractional damped structure have attracted the attention of researchers in the field of mechanical and civil engineering [1-6]. This study is dedicated mainly a pendulum with fractional viscous damping. The mathematic model of pendulum is a cubic nonlinear equation governing the oscillations of systems having a single degree of freedom, via Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative. The method of multiple scales is performed to solve the equation by assigning the nonlinear and damping terms to the ε-order. Finally, the effects of the coefficient of a fractional damping term on the approximate solution are observed.

Abstract The feedback control of Hopf bifurcation of nonlinear aeroelastic systems with asymmetric aerodynamic lift force and nonlinear elastic forces of the airfoil is discussed. For the Hopf bifurcation analysis, the eigenvalue problems of the state matrix and its adjoint matrix are defined. The Puiseux expansion is used to discuss the variations of the non-semi-simple eigenvalues, as the control parameter passes through the critical value to avoid the difficulty for computing the derivatives of the non-semi-simple eigenvalues with respect to the control parameter. The method of multiple scales and center-manifold reduction are used to deal with the feedback control design of a nonlinear system with non-semi-simple eigenvalues at the critical point of the Hopf bifurcation. The first order approximate solutions are developed, which include gain vector and input. The presented methods are based on the Jordan form which is the simplest one. Finally, an example of an airfoil model is given to show the feasibility and for verification of the present method.

AbstractStrongly nonlinear cubic-quintic Duffing oscillatoris considered. Approximate solutions are derived using the multiple scales Lindstedt Poincare method (MSLP), a relatively new method developed for strongly nonlinear oscillators. The free undamped oscillator is considered first. Approximate analytical solutions of the MSLP are contrasted with the classical multiple scales (MS) method and numerical simulations. It is found that contrary to the classical MS method, the MSLP can provide acceptable solutions for the case of strong nonlinearities. Next, the forced and damped case is treated. Frequency response curves of both the MS and MSLP methods are obtained and contrasted with the numerical solutions. The MSLP method and numerical simulations are in good agreement while there are discrepancies between the MS and numerical solutions.

We present two models for the fair value of a self-funding instalment warrant. In both models we assume the underlying stock process follows a geometric Brownian motion. In the first model, we assume that the underlying stock pays a continuous dividend yield and in the second we assume that it pays a series of discrete dividend yields. We show that both models admit similarity reductions and use these to obtain simple finite-difference and Monte Carlo solutions. We use the method of multiple scales to connect these two models and establish the first-order correction term to be applied to the first model in order to obtain the second, thereby establishing that the former model is justified when many dividends are paid during the life of the warrant. Further, we show that the functional form of this correction may be expressed in terms of the hedging parameters for the first model and is, from this point of view, independent of the particular payoff in the first model. In two appendices we present approximate solutions for the first model which are valid in the small volatility and the short time-to-expiry limits, respectively, by using singular perturbation techniques. The small volatility solutions are used to check our finite-difference solutions and the small time-to-expiry solutions are used as a means of systematically smoothing the payoffs so we may use pathwise sensitivities for our Monte Carlo methods.

Artificial muscles hold promise for safe and powerful actuation for myriad common machines and robots. However, the design, fabrication, and implementation of artificial muscles are often limited by their material costs, operating principle, scalability, and single-degree-of-freedom contractile actuation motions. Here we propose an architecture for fluid-driven origami-inspired artificial muscles. This concept requires only a compressible skeleton, a flexible skin, and a fluid medium. A mechanical model is developed to explain the interaction of the three components. A fabrication method is introduced to rapidly manufacture low-cost artificial muscles using various materials and at multiple scales. The artificial muscles can be programed to achieve multiaxial motions including contraction, bending, and torsion. These motions can be aggregated into systems with multiple degrees of freedom, which are able to produce controllable motions at different rates. Our artificial muscles can be driven by fluids at negative pressures (relative to ambient). This feature makes actuation safer than most other fluidic artificial muscles that operate with positive pressures. Experiments reveal that these muscles can contract over 90% of their initial lengths, generate stresses of ∼600 kPa, and produce peak power densities over 2 kW/kg—all equal to, or in excess of, natural muscle. This architecture for artificial muscles opens the door to rapid design and low-cost fabrication of actuation systems for numerous applications at multiple scales, ranging from miniature medical devices to wearable robotic exoskeletons to large deployable structures for space exploration.

The dynamic behavior of a rectangular thin plate under parametric and external excitations is investigated. The motion of the thin plate is modeled by coupled second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Their approximate solutions are sought by applying the method of multiple scales. A reduced system of four first-order ordinary differential equations is determined to describe the time variation of the amplitudes and phases of the vibration in the horizontal and vertical directions. The steady-state response and the stability of the solutions for various parameters are studied numerically, using the frequency-response function and the phase-plane methods. It is also shown that the system parameters have different effects on the nonlinear response of the thin plate. Moreover, the chaotic motion of the thin plate is found by numerical simulation.

The primary and subharmonic resonances of a nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom system under feedback control with a time delay are studied by means of an asymptotic perturbation technique. Both external (forcing) and parametric excitations are included. By means of the averaging method and multiple scales method, two slow-flow equations for the amplitude and phase of the primary and subharmonic resonances and all other parameters are obtained. The steady state (fixed points) corresponding to a periodic motion of the starting system is investigated and frequency-response curves are shown. The stability of the fixed points is examined using the variational method. The effect of the feedback gains, the time-delay, the coefficient of cubic term, and the coefficients of external and parametric excitations on the steady-state responses are investigated and the results are presented as plots of the steady-state response amplitude versus the detuning parameter. The results obtained by two methods are in excellent agreement

In theoretical mechanics field, solution methods for nonlinear differential equations are very important because many problems are modelled using such equations. In particular, large deflection of a cantilever beam under a terminal follower force and nonlinear pendulum problem can be described by the same nonlinear differential equation. Therefore, in this work, we propose some approximate solutions for both problems using nonlinearities distribution homotopy perturbation method, homotopy perturbation method, and combinations with Laplace-Padé posttreatment. We will show the high accuracy of the proposed cantilever solutions, which are in good agreement with other reported solutions. Finally, for the pendulum case, the proposed approximation was useful to predict, accurately, the period for an angle up to179.99999999∘yielding a relative error of 0.01222747.
