The analyses on two numerical cases, one for free field explosive and the other for structural response under blast loads, are performed to model the whole processes from the propagation of the pressure wave to the response of structures. Based on the simulation, it is concluded that this model can be used for reasonably accurate explosive analysis of structures. The resulting information would be valuable for protecting structures under blast loads.展开更多

By analyzing the characteristic equation we derive the conditions for the emergence of Hopf bifurcation. By applying the normal form and the center manifold argument, the direction as well as the sta- bility of periodic solutions bifurcating from Hopf bifurcation is explored. Results show that maturation delay can change the nature of the positive equilibrium solutions, and the loss of equilibrium stability occurs as a consequence of Hopf bifurcation. When Hopf bifurcation takes place, periodic solution arises and is further demonstrated to be asymptotically stable. In addition, the periodic solutions appear only for intermediate maturation delay, that is, there exists a delay window, outside of which the positive equilibrium is locally stable. Furthermore, numerical analysis shows that Hopf bifur- cation is favored by a superior competition for adult predators to juveniles, a smaller mortality on juvenile and/or adult predators, and a higher resource carrying capacity. Interestingly, increasing food carrying capacity can lead to the emergence of irregular chaotic dynamics and regular limit cycles.展开更多
