Effects of viscoelasticity on the stability and bifurcations of nonlinear energy sinks

Due to the increasing use of passive absorbers to control unwanted vibrations,many studies have been done on energy absorbers ideally,but the lack of studies of real environmental conditions on these absorbers is felt.The present work investigates the effect of viscoelasticity on the stability and bifurcations of a system attached to a nonlinear energy sink(NES).In this paper,the Burgers model is assumed for the viscoelasticity in an NES,and a linear oscillator system is considered for investigating the instabilities and bifurcations.The equations of motion of the coupled system are solved by using the harmonic balance and pseudo-arc-length continuation methods.The results show that the viscoelasticity affects the frequency intervals of the Hopf and saddle-node branches,and by increasing the stiffness parameters of the viscoelasticity,the conditions of these branches occur in larger ranges of the external force amplitudes,and also reduce the frequency range of the branches.In addition,increasing the viscoelastic damping parameter has the potential to completely eliminate the instability of the system and gradually reduce the amplitude of the jump phenomenon.

Periodical Bifurcation Analysis of a Type of Hematopoietic Stem Cell Model with Feedback Control

The delay feedback control brings forth interesting periodical oscillation bifurcation phenomena which reflect in Mackey-Glass white blood cell model. Hopf bifurcation is analyzed and the transversal condition of Hopf bifurcation is given. Both the period-doubling bifurcation and saddle-node bifurcation of periodical solutions are computed since the observed floquet multiplier overpass the unit circle by DDE-Biftool software in Matlab. The continuation of saddle-node bifurcation line or period-doubling curve is carried out as varying free parameters and time delays. Two different transition modes of saddle-node bifurcation are discovered which is verified by numerical simulation work with aids of DDE-Biftool.

Bifurcation control of nonlinear oscillator in primary and secondary resonance

A weakly nonlinear oscillator was modeled by a sort of differential equation, a saddle-node bifurcation was found in case of primary and secondary resonance. To control the jumping phenomena and the unstable region of the nonlinear oscillator, feedback controllers were designed. Bifurcation control equations were obtained by using the multiple scales method. And through the numerical analysis, good controller could be obtained by changing the feedback control gain. Then a feasible way of further research of saddle-node bifurcation was provided. Finally, an example shows that the feedback control method applied to the hanging bridge system of gas turbine is doable.

Bifurcation and catastrophe of seepage flow system in broken rock

The study of dynamical behavior of water or gas flows in broken rock is a basic research topic among a series of key projects about stability control of the surrounding rocks in mines and the prevention of some disasters such as water inrush or gas outburst and the protection of the groundwater resource. It is of great theoretical and engineering importance in respect of promo- tion of security in mine production and sustainable development of the coal industry. According to the non-Darcy property of seepage flow in broken rock dynamic equations of non-Darcy and non-steady flows in broken rock are established. By dimensionless transformation, the solution diagram of steady-states satisfying the given boundary conditions is obtained. By numerical analysis of low relaxation iteration, the dynamic responses corresponding to the different flow parameters have been obtained. The stability analysis of the steady-states indicate that a saddle-node bifurcaton exists in the seepage flow system of broken rock. Consequently, using catastrophe theory, the fold catastrophe model of seepage flow instability has been obtained. As a result, the bifurcation curves of the seepage flow systems with different control parameters are presented and the standard potential function is also given with respect to the generalized state variable for the fold catastrophe of a dynamic system of seepage flow in broken rock.

Singularly perturbed bifurcation subsystem and its application in power systems

The singularly perturbed bifurcation subsystem is described, and the test conditions of subsystem persistence are deduced. By use of fast and slow reduced subsystem model, the result does not require performing nonlinear transformation. Moreover, it is shown and proved that the persistence of the periodic orbits for Hopf bifurcation in the reduced model through center manifold. Van der Pol oscillator circuit is given to illustrate the persistence of bifurcation subsystems with the full dynamic system.

Characterization of static bifurcations for n-dimensional flows in the frequency domain

In this paper n-dimensional flows （described by continuous-time system） with static bifurcations are considered with the aim of classification of different elementary bifurcations using the frequency domain formalism. Based on frequency domain approach, we prove some criterions for the saddle-node bifurcation, transcritical bifurcation and pitchfork bifurcation, and give an example to illustrate the efficiency of the result obtained.

Local Stability Analysis and Bifurcations of a Discrete-Time Host-Parasitoid Model

In this paper, we examine a discrete-time Host-Parasitoid model which is a non-dimensionalized Nicholson and Bailey model. Phase portraits are drawn for different ranges of parameters and display the complicated dynamics of this system. We conduct the bifurcation analysis with respect to intrinsic growth rate r and searching efficiency a. Many forms of complex dynamics such as chaos, periodic windows are observed. Transition route to chaos dynamics is established via period-doubling bifurcations. Conditions of occurrence of the period-doubling, Neimark-Sacker and saddle-node bifurcations are analyzed for b≠a where a,b are searching efficiency. We study stable and unstable manifolds for different equilibrium points and coexistence of different attractors for this non-dimensionalize system. Without the parasitoid, the host population follows the dynamics of the Ricker model.

Bifurcation analysis of an SIS epidemic model with a generalized non-monotonic and saturated incidence rate

In this paper,a new generalized non-monotonic and saturated incidence rate was introduced into a susceptible-infected-susceptible(SIS)epidemic model to account for inhibitory effect and crowding effect.The dynamic properties of the model were studied by qualitative theory and bifurcation theory.It is shown that when the infuence of psychological factors is large,the model has only disease-free equilibrium point,and this disease-free equilibrium point is globally asymptotically stable;when the influence of psychological factors is small,for some parameter conditions,the model has a unique endemic equilibrium point,which is a cusp point of co-dimension two,and for other parameter conditions the model has two endemic equilibrium points,one of which could be weak focus or center.In addition,the results of the model undergoing saddle-node bifurcation,Hopf bifurcation and Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation as the parameters vary were also proved.These results shed light on the impact of psychological behavior of susceptible people on the disease transmission.

Dynamic Analysis of an Algae-Bacteria Ecological Model

In the paper, under the framework of exploring the interaction between algae and bacteria, an algae-bacteria ecological model was established to analyze the interaction mechanism and growth coexistence mode between algicidal bacteria and algae. Firstly, mathematical work mainly provided some threshold conditions to ensure the occurrence of transcritical bifurcation and saddle-node bifurcation, which could provide certain theoretical support for selecting key ecological environmental factors and numerical simulations. Secondly, the numerical simulation work dynamically displayed the evolution process of the bifurcation dynamic behavior of the model (2.1) and the growth coexistence mode of algae and algicidal bacteria. Finally, it was worth summarizing that intrinsic growth rate and combined capture effort of algae population had a strong influence on the dynamic behavior of the model (2.1). Furthermore, it must also be noted that transcritical bifurcation and saddle-node bifurcation were the inherent driving forces behind the formation of steady-state growth coexistence mode between algicidal bacteria and algae. In summary, it was hoped that the results of this study would contribute to accelerating the study of the interaction mechanism between algicidal bacteria and algae.

含碰撞和摩擦振动系统黏滞-黏着运动转迁机理研究

针对一类含碰撞和摩擦的单自由度振动系统,通过分析相空间内自由滑动、碰撞、黏着和黏滞四种不同性质运动的发生条件,结合四种不同的Poincaré映射截面对其周期运动进行辨识,研究参数域内系统周期运动分布规律。采用参数延续算法和胞映射算法,并结合系统稳定性判定条件,揭示了系统周期黏滞-黏着运动分布及转迁规律。研究结果表明:周期黏滞-黏着运动主要集中在低频小间隙区,系统向着周期黏滞-黏着运动转迁过程中,在擦边分岔(grazing bifurcation,GR)诱导下碰撞次数增加,碰撞速度逐渐减小,同时周期运动的周期带逐渐变窄;相邻周期运动转迁过程中主要受到GR、鞍结分岔(saddle node bifurcation,SN)和滑移分岔(sliding bifurcation,SL)的诱导,由于转迁相互不可逆性,形成GR-SN和(GR-SL)-SN等不同形式的多态共存区。系统间隙和恢复系数减小,黏滞-黏着运动频带变宽,起始点向高频方向延伸。

重力场对欧拉屈曲梁非线性吸振器分岔特征的影响研究

以欧拉屈曲梁构成的非线性吸振器为研究对象,针对不同的应用环境,分别建立有无重力条件对应非线性动力学模型并重点研究重力场对非线性系统分岔特征的影响。利用复变量-平均法推导出非线性系统的慢变方程,进而得到其对应的鞍结(saddle-node, SN)分岔以及霍普夫(Hopf)分岔边界。通过对比有无重力条件下的分岔边界发现,重力场使分岔边界受参数影响范围变大;进一步,在有重力场条件下,针对失谐参数和激励幅值对非线性系统分岔特征的影响展开讨论;最后,考虑重力场条件,针对欧拉屈曲梁非线性吸振器部分关键设计参数对系统分岔特征的影响进行了分析。计算结果发现:满足一定条件,SN分岔和Hopf分岔会有共存的情形;而且,频响幅值随激励幅值的变大而产生两个分支,随激励幅值继续增大,将使两个分支重合但多解区间并未消失且增大;欧拉屈曲梁长度和斜置倾角对分岔特性有较大影响,且变化规律相似,随着参数增大,SN分岔与Hopf分岔边界减小。

Bifurcation analysis for vibrations of a turbine blade excited by air flows

A reduced three-degree-of-freedom model simulating the fluid-structure interactions （FSI） of the turbine blades and the on- coming air flows is proposed. The equations of motions consist of the coupling of bending and torsion of a blade as well as a van der Pol oscillation which represents the time-varying of the fluid. The 1：1 internal resonance of the system is analyzed with the multiple scale method, and the modulation equations are derived. The two-parameter bifurcation diagrams are computed. The effects of the system parameters, including the detuning parameter and the reduced frequency, on responses of the struc- ture and fluid are investigated. Bifurcation curves are computed and the stability is determined by examining the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix. The results indicate that rich dynamic phenomena of the steady-state solutions including the sad- dle-node and Hopf bifurcations can occur under certain parameter conditions. The parameter region where the unstable solu- tions occur should be avoided to keep the safe operation of the blades. The analytical solutions are verified by the direct nu- merical simulations.

Dynamical study of a predator-prey system with Michaelis-Menten type predator-harvesting

The predation process plays a significant role in advancing life evolution and the maintenance of ecological balance and biodiversity.Hunting cooperation in predators is one of the most remarkable features of the predation process,which benefits the predators by developing fear upon their prey.This study investigates the dynamical behavior of a modified LV-type predator-prey system with Michaelis-Menten-type harvesting of predators where predators adopt cooperation strategy during hunting.The ecologically feasible steady states of the system and their asymptotic stabilities are explored.The local codimension one bifurcations,viz.transcritical,saddle-node and Hopf bifurcations,that emerge in the system are investigated.Sotomayors approach is utilized to show the appearance of transcritical bifurcation and saddle-node bifurcation.A backward Hopfbifurcation is detected when the harvesting effort is increased,which destabilizes the system by generating periodic solutions.The stability nature of the Hopf-bifurcating periodic orbits is determined by computing the first Lyapunov coefficient.Our analyses revealed that above a threshold value of the harvesting effort promotes the coexistence of both populations.Similar periodic solutions of the system are also observed when the conversion efficiency rate or the hunting cooperation rate is increased.We have also explored codimension two bifurcations viz.the generalized Hopf and the Bogdanov-Takens bifurcation exhibit by the system.To visualize the dynamical behavior of the system,numerical simulations are conducted using an ecologically plausible parameter set.The existence of the bionomic equilibrium of the model is analyzed.Moreover,an optimal harvesting policy for the proposed model is derived by considering harvesting effort as a control parameter with the help of Pontryagins maximum principle.

Dynamical Behavior and Singularities of a Single-machine Infinite-bus Power System

This paper uses the geometric singular perturbation theory to investigate dynamical behaviors and singularities in a fundamental power system presented in a single-machine infinite-bus formulation. The power system can be approximated by two simplified systems S and F, which correspond respectively to slow and fast subsystems. The singularities, including Hopf bifurcation (HB), saddle-node bifurcation (SNB) and singularity induced bifurcation (SIB), are characterized. We show that SNB occurs at P Tc = 3.4382, SIB at P T0 = 2.8653 and HB at P Th = 2.802 for the singular perturbation system. It means that the power system will collapse near SIB which precedes SNB and that the power system will oscillate near HB which precedes SIB. In other words, the power system will lose its stability by means of oscillation near the HB which precedes SIB and SNB as P T is increasing to a critical value. The boundary of the stability region of the system can be described approximately by a combination of boundaries of the stability regions of the fast subsystem and slow subsystem.

Dynamical analysis of tumor-immune-help T cells system

In this paper,we construct a mathematical model to investigate the interaction between the tumor cells,the immune cells and the helper T cells(HTCs).We perform math-ematical analysis to reveal the stability of the equilibria of the model.In our model,the HTCs are stimulated by the identification of the presence of tumor antigens.Our investigation implies that the presence of tumor antigens may inhibit the existence of high steady state of tumor cells,which leads to the elimination of the bistable behavior of the tumor-immune system,i.e.the equilibrium corresponding to the high steady state of tumor cells is destabilized.Choosing immune intensity c as bifurcation parameter,there exists saddle-node bifurcation.Besides,there exists a critical value C*,at which a Hopf bifurcation occurs.The stability and direction of Hopf bifurcation are discussed.

On a reaction-diffusion model for sterile insect release method on a bounded domain

We consider a system of partial differential equations that describes the interaction of the sterile and fertile species undergoing the sterile insect release method （SIRM）. Unlike in the previous work [M. A. Lewis and P. van den Driessche, Waves of extinction from sterile insect release, Math. Biosci. 5 （1992） 221 247] where the habitat is assumed to be the one-dimensional whole space ~, we consider this system in a bounded one- dimensional domain （interval）. Our goal is to derive sufficient conditions for success of the SIRM. We show the existence of the fertile-free steady state and prove its stability. Using the releasing rate as the parameter, and by a saddle-node bifurcation analysis, we obtain conditions for existence of two co-persistence steady states, one stable and the other unstable. Biological implications of our mathematical results are that： （i） when the fertile population is at low level, the SIRM, even with small releasing rate, can successfully eradicate the fertile insects; （ii） when the fertile population is at a higher level, the SIRM can succeed as long as the strength of the sterile releasing is large enough, while the method may also fail if the releasing is not sufficient.
