ABSTRACT Although quasi-Keplerian discs are among the most common astrophysical structures, computation of secular angular momentum transport within them routinely presents a considerable practical challenge. In this work, we investigate the secular small-inclination dynamics of a razor-thin particle disc as the continuum limit of a discrete Lagrange–Laplace secular perturbative theory and explore the analogy between the ensuing secular evolution – including non-local couplings of self-gravitating discs – and quantum mechanics. We find the ‘quantum’ Hamiltonian that describes the time evolution of the system and demonstrate the existence of a conserved inner product. The lowest-frequency normal modes are numerically approximated by performing a Wick rotation on the equations of motion. These modes are used to quantify the accuracy of a much simpler local-coupling model, revealing that it predicts the shape of the normal modes to a high degree of accuracy, especially in narrow annuli, even though it fails to predict their eigenfrequencies.

In this study, the buckling of functionally graded (FG) nanoporous metal foam nanoplates is investigated by combining the refined plate theory with the non-local elasticity theory. The refined plate theory takes into account transverse shear strains which vary quadratically through the thickness without considering the shear correction factor. Based on Eringen’s non-local differential constitutive relations, the equations of motion are derived from Hamilton’s principle. The analytical solutions for the buckling of FG nanoporous metal foam nanoplates are obtained via Navier’s method. Moreover, the effects of porosity distributions, porosity coefficient, small scale parameter, axial compression ratio, mode number, aspect ratio and length-to-thickness ratio on the buckling loads are discussed. In order to verify the validity of present analysis, the analytical results have been compared with other previous studies.

The aim of the present paper is to compare two different methods available to reduce the complicated dynamics exhibited by large amplitude, geometrically nonlinear vibrations of a thin shell. The two methods are: the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and an asymptotic approximation of the Nonlinear Normal Modes (NNMs) of the system. The structure used to perform comparisons is a water-filled, simply supported circular cylindrical shell subjected to harmonic excitation in the spectral neighbourhood of the fundamental natural frequency. A reference solution is obtained by discretizing the Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) of motion with a Galerkin expansion containing 16 eigenmodes. The POD model is built by using responses computed with the Galerkin model; the NNM model is built by using the discretized equations of motion obtained with the Galerkin method, and taking into account also the transformation of damping terms. Both the POD and NNMs allow to reduce significantly the dimension of the original Galerkin model. The computed nonlinear responses are compared in order to verify the accuracy and the limits of these two methods. For vibration amplitudes equal to 1.5 times the shell thickness, the two methods give very close results to the original Galerkin model. By increasing the excitation and vibration amplitude, significant differences are observed and discussed.

Strain Responses

Mechanical resonance dispersion is the inelastic response of a solid to a periodic shear stress. Instead of the elastic Young's Modulus, the phenomenon is described by both a real J', and an imaginary J'' component of complex shear compliance, corresponding to in phase and out of phase strain responses, respectively. The experimental results are plots of J' and J'' vs. frequency, which are typically in the audiofrequency range of 10 - 5600 Hz. Resonances are observed as maxima in J'' and inversions in J' at frequencies corresponding to modes of plastic deformation, which are much lower frequencies (audiofrequency range) than elastic normal modes. The theoretical explanation of Edwin R. Fitzgerald involves particle waves and momentum transfer and leads to a particle-in-a-box frequency formula for these inelastic modes. Unfortunately, most of his and other published raw data were never analyzed by this model. The purpose of this article is to apply this formula to previously uninterpreted resonance dispersion curves and to address some of the earlier criticism of Fitzgerald's work. Results of these calculations support the Fitzgerald Theory to a high degree, demonstrate the importance of impurities and chemical analysis, largely mollify previous criticisms, and suggest the possibility of a new particle wave mass spectroscopy at great distances.

The interplay between spontaneously broken gauge symmetries and Bose–Einstein condensation has long been controversially discussed in science, since the equations of motion are invariant under phase transformations. Within the present model, it is illustrated that spontaneous symmetry breaking appears as a non-local process in position space, but within disjoint subspaces of the underlying Hilbert space. Numerical simulations show that it is the symmetry of the relative phase distribution between condensate and non-condensate quantum fields which is spontaneously broken when passing the critical temperature for Bose–Einstein condensation. Since the total number of gas particles remains constant over time, the global U(1)-gauge symmetry of the system is preserved.

Abstract Equations of motion are developed for a rotating beam which is constrained to deform in the transverse (flapping) and axial directions. This process results in two coupled nonlinear partial differential equations which govern the attendant dynamics. These equations may be discretized through utilization of the classical normal modes of the nonrotating system in both the transverse and extensional directions. The resultant system may then be diagonalized to linear order and truncated to N nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Several methods are used to determine the model size necessary to ensure accuracy. Once the model size (N degrees of freedom) has been determined, nonlinear normal mode (NNM) theory is applied to reduce the system to a single equation, or a small set of equations, which accurately represent the dynamics of a mode, or set of modes, of interest. Results are presented which detail the convergence of the discretized model and compare its dynamics with those of the NNM-reduced model, as well as other reduced models. The results indicate a considerable improvement over other common reduction techniques, enabling the capture of many salient response features with the simulation of very few degrees of freedom.

Abstract In the nonlinear state estimation, the generation method of cubature points and weights of the classical cubature Kalman filter (CKF) limits its estimation accuracy. Inspired by that, in this paper, a novel improved CKF with adaptive generation of the cubature points and weights is proposed. Firstly, to improve the accuracy of classical CKF while considering the calculation efficiency, we introduce a new high-degree cubature rule combining third-order spherical rule and sixth-degree radial rule. Next, in the new cubature rule, a novel method that can generate adaptively cubature points and weights based on the distance between the points and center point in the sense of the inner product is designed. We use the cosine similarity to quantify the distance. Then, based on that, a novel high-degree CKF is derived that use much fewer points than other high-degree CKF. In the proposed filter, based on the actual dynamic filtering process, the simultaneously adaptive generation of cubature points and weight can make the filter reasonably distribute the cubature points and allocate the corresponding weights, which can obviously improve the approximate accuracy of one-step state and measurement prediction. Finally, the superior performance of the proposed filter is demonstrated in a benchmark target tracking model.

Simple Exposition

SummaryA simple exposition, using d'Alembert's principle and methods of virtual work, is given of the properties and applications of the normal modes of vibration of a linear elastic system. The use of the normal modes in problems of free and forced vibration and dynamic loading is discussed with the aid of simple examples, and it is shown that by these methods dynamical problems for any linear system may be solved without the use of the fundamental equations of motion, provided the natural frequencies and modes of the system are known. In most problems the solutions converge rapidly, so that only the first few modes of vibration need be considered, and in these cases the solution may be modified to give further improvement in convergence. Unsatisfactory convergence may be obtained, however, in problems where there is an exciting force of very high frequency, or an impact of short duration. An approximate allowance may be made for damping, provided this is small.

We apply the methods developed in our preceding paper (J. A. Imbeau and B. T. Darling. Can. J. Phys. 57, 190(1979)) for calculating the Green's function of a cavity to obtain the normal modes and normal frequencies of the cavity. As the frequency of the driving point source approaches that of a normal frequency the response (Green's function) of the cavity becomes infinite, and the form of the Green's function is dominated by the normal mode. There is also a 180° reversal of phase in passing through a resonance. In this way, we are able to calculate the normal frequencies of prolate spheroidal cavities to the full precision employed in the calculations (16 significant digits for double precision of the IBM-370). The Green's functions and the normal functions are also obtainable to a high degree of precision, except in the immediate vicinity of the surface of the cavity where they suffer a well-known discontinuity.

Vibration analysis of an internally damped rotating shaft, modeled using Timoshenko beam theory, with general boundary conditions is performed analytically. The equations of motion including the effects of internal viscous and hysteretic damping are derived. Exact solutions for the complex natural frequencies and complex normal modes are provided for each of the six classical boundary conditions. Numerical simulations show the effect of the internal damping on the stability of the rotor system.
