Unlike the usual power law model, this paper develops nonlinear viscosity based only on a tangential coordinate function due to the radial geometry shape. Two kinds of solutions are developed, i.e., analytical and semi-analytical （numerical） solutions with suitable assumptions. As a result of the parametric examination, it has been found that the Newtonian normalized velocity gradually decreases with the tangential direction progress. Also, an increase in the friction coefficient leads to a decrease in the normalized Newtonian velocity profile values. However, an increase in the Reynolds number causes an increase in the normalized velocity function values. Additionally, for the small values of wedge semi-angle, the present solutions are in good agreement with the previous results in the literature.展开更多

The bottom friction and weakly nonlinear term are included in the model. The difference equation is established with the Crank-Nicolson scheme. The numerical test shows that some numerical prediction results will be inaccurate in complicated topography without considering weak nonlinearity; the bottom friction will make wave height damping and it can not be neglected for calculation of wave field in large areas.展开更多

To this end, the insertion of a base isolation system allows a considerable reduction of the seismic loads transmitted to the super- structure. However, strong near-fault ground motions, which are characterised by long-duration horizontal pulses, may amplify the inelastic response of the superstructure and induce a failure of the isolation system. The above considerations point out the importance of checking the effectiveness of different isolation systems for retrofitting a r.c. framed structure. For this purpose, a numerical inves- tigation is carried out with reference to a six-storey r.c. framed building, which, primarily designed （as to be a fixed-base one） in compliance with the previous Italian code （DM96） for a medium-risk seismic zone, has to be retrofitted by insertion of an isolation system at the base for attaining performance levels imposed by the current Italian code （NTC08） in a high-risk seismic zone. Besides the （fixed-base） original structure, three cases of base isolation are studied： elastomeric bearings acting alone （e.g. HDLRBs）; in-parallel combination of elastomeric and friction bearings （e.g. high-damping-laminated-rubber beatings, HDLRBs and steel-PTFE sliding bearings, SBs）; friction bearings acting alone （e.g. friction pendulum bearings, FPBs）. The nonlinear analysis of the fixed-base and base-isolated structures subjected to horizontal com- ponents of near-fault ground motions is performed for checking plastic conditions at the potential critical （end） sections of the girders and columns as well as critical conditions of the isolation systems. Unexpected high val- ues of ductility demand are highlighted at the lower floors of all base-isolated structures, while re-centring problems of the base isolation systems under near-fault earthquakes are expected in case of friction beatings acting alone （i.e. FPBs） or that in combination （i.e. SBs） with HDLRBs.展开更多

The structure of the controller is composed of a composite nonlinear feedback law plus full robot nonlinear dynamics compensation. The stability is carried out in the presence of friction. The controller takes advantage of varying damping ratios induced by the composite nonlinear feedback control, so the transient performance of the closed-loop is remarkably improved. Simulation results demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed method.展开更多

In particular, a wheeled multi-body system is considered. Here, the state transition of stick-slip between wheel and ground is transformed into a nonlinear complementarity problem （NCP）. An iterative algorithm for solving the NCP is then presented using an event-driven method. Dynamical equations of the multi-body system with holonomic and nonholonomic constraints are given using Routh equations and a con- straint stabilization method. Finally, an example is used to test the proposed numerical method. The results show some dynamical behaviors of the wheeled multi-body system and its constraint stabilization effects.展开更多

The present study provides an extensionby using a hysteretic spring friction model and taking account of the stick-slip motion of theplate. Results for a range of problem parameters have been obtained. The results show that thenonlinear frequency response behavior of the system can be quite different from the rigid-interfacefriction model. The effects of the stiffness at friction interfaces and the stick-slip motion on thenonlinear vibration of the plate are significant and hence cannot be neglected.展开更多

Approximate analytical solution under the physical coordinate of multi-degree-of-freedom self-excited vibration induced by dry friction of piecewise-smooth nonlinear systems is derived by means of average method, the results of which agree with those of the numerical solution. An effective and reliable analytical method investigating piecewise-smooth nonlinear systems of multi-degree-of-freedom has been given. Furthermore, this paper qualitatively analyses the curves about stationary amplitude versus rubbing velocity of hands and versus natural frequency of hands, and about angular frequency versus rubbing velocity of hands. The results provide a theoretical basis for identifying parameters of the system and the analysis of steady region.展开更多
