Book Nonlinear Oscillations in Mechanical Engineering

Download or read book Nonlinear Oscillations in Mechanical Engineering written by Alexander Fidlin and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-19 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Nonlinear Oscillations in Mechanical Engineering" explores the effects of nonlinearities encountered in applications in that field. Since the nonlinearities are caused, first of all, by contacts between different mechanical parts, the main part of this book is devoted to oscillations in mechanical systems with discontinuities caused by dry friction and collisions. Another important source of nonlinearity which is covered is that caused by rotating unbalanced parts common in various machines as well as variable inertias occurring in all kinds of crank mechanisms. This book is written for advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students, but it may be also helpful and interesting for both theoreticians and practitioners working in the area of mechanical engineering at universities, in research labs or institutes and especially in the R and D departments within industrial firms.

Book Problems and Methods of Optimal Control

Download or read book Problems and Methods of Optimal Control written by L.D. Akulenko and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-04-17 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The numerous applications of optimal control theory have given an incentive to the development of approximate techniques aimed at the construction of control laws and the optimization of dynamical systems. These constructive approaches rely on small parameter methods (averaging, regular and singular perturbations), which are well-known and have been proven to be efficient in nonlinear mechanics and optimal control theory (maximum principle, variational calculus and dynamic programming). An essential feature of the procedures for solving optimal control problems consists in the necessity for dealing with two-point boundary-value problems for nonlinear and, as a rule, nonsmooth multi-dimensional sets of differential equations. This circumstance complicates direct applications of the above-mentioned perturbation methods which have been developed mostly for investigating initial-value (Cauchy) problems. There is now a need for a systematic presentation of constructive analytical per turbation methods relevant to optimal control problems for nonlinear systems. The purpose of this book is to meet this need in the English language scientific literature and to present consistently small parameter techniques relating to the constructive investigation of some classes of optimal control problems which often arise in prac tice. This book is based on a revised and modified version of the monograph: L. D. Akulenko "Asymptotic methods in optimal control". Moscow: Nauka, 366 p. (in Russian).

Book Controllability of Dynamic Systems

Download or read book Controllability of Dynamic Systems written by Ara S. Avetisyan and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is about the possibilities of involvement of the well-known Green’s function method in exact or approximate controllability analysis for dynamic systems. Due to existing extensions of the Green’s function notion to nonlinear systems, the approach developed here is valid for systems with both linear and nonlinear dynamics. The book offers a number of particular examples, covering specific issues that make the controllability analysis sophisticated, such as coordinate dependent characteristics, point sources, unbounded domains, higher dimensions, and specific nonlinearities. It also offers extensive numerical analysis, which reveals both advantages and drawbacks of the approach. As such, the book will be of interest to researchers interested in the theory and practice of control, as well as PhD and Master’s students.

Book Dynamics of Mechanical Systems with Coulomb Friction

Download or read book Dynamics of Mechanical Systems with Coulomb Friction written by Le Xuan Anh and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the general theory of motion of mechanical systems with Coulomb friction. In particular, the book focuses on the following specific problems: derivation of the equations of motion, Painleve's paradoxes, tangential impact and dynamic seizure, and frictional self-excited oscillations. In addition to the theoretical results, the book contains a detailed description of experiments that show that, in general, the friction force at the instant of transition to motion is determined by the rate of tangential load and does not depend on the duration of the previous contact. These results are used to develop the theory of frictional self-excited oscillations. A number of industrially relevant mechanisms are considered, including the Painleve-Klein scheme, epicyclic mechanisms, crank mechanisms, gear transmission, the link mechanism of a planing machine, and the slider of metal-cutting machine tools. The book is intended for researchers, engineers and students in mechanical engineering.

Book Optimal Control Over Damped Oscillations Via Response Curves

Download or read book Optimal Control Over Damped Oscillations Via Response Curves written by Kevin Martínez Añón and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vast literature has been devoted throughout the years to the construction of both a phase and an amplitude response function that help us study the effects of external stimuli on the dynamics of oscillatory systems. Results trying to reproduce these techniques in the case of damped oscillations have come up recently. Thus, adhering to this recent trend, in this Master's Thesis we complete the study on damped oscillations initiated last year by my colleague Román Moreno in his own Master's Thesis and, based on it, we present a novel optimal control algorithm for the induction of sustained periodic oscillations out of a damped oscillation using a minimum-energy input. The positive results obtained can be seen, from a theoretical point of view, as a deterministic method for the generation of stable structures in systems where they were initially not present; and, from a more practical perspective, they may open the door for therapeutic studies of some neuropathologies when applied to some neuron models in neuroscience.

Book Statistical Dynamics and Reliability Theory for Mechanical Structures

Download or read book Statistical Dynamics and Reliability Theory for Mechanical Structures written by Valery A. Svetlitsky and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The monograph text is based on lectures delivered by author during many years for students of Applied Iechanics Department of Bauman Ioscow State Technical University. The monograph includes also analitical results of scientific research obtained in collaboration with industry. Progress in developing new equipment has called for a better understand ing of the physical peculiarities pertaining to the action of designed structures in real conditions. This is necessary for increasing the accuracy of the analysis and making these structures more reliable. It has been found that classical determined perturbations are not principal and that determinism-based methods of classical mechanics prove insufficient for understanding and explaining physical effects that arise at the operation of instruments located on moving objects, the vibration of rocket engines, the motion of a vehicle, and the action of wind and seismic loads. Therefore the necessity arose for devising a new physical model to analyze these dynamic processes and, in particular, for creating a new mathematical apparatus that would allow us to take into account non-deterministic external excitations. The theory of random processes that had been developed well enough as applied to problems of radio engineering and automatic control, where the effect produced by random excitations appeared to be commensurable with that of deterministic excitations and where the ignoring of the random ex citations would bring about incorrect results, became such an apparatus.
