Cavitation in hookean elastic membranes

An exact solution to cavitation is found in tension of a class of Cauchy elastic membranes. The constitutive relationship of materials is based on Hookean elastic law and finite logarithmic strain measure. A variable transformation is used in solving the two-point boundary-value problem of nonlinear ordinary differential equation. A simple formula to calculate the critical stretch for cavitation is derived. As the numerical results, the bifurcation curves describing void nucleation and suddenly rapidly growth of the cavity are obtained. The boundary layers of displacements and stresses near the cavity wall are observed. The cata-strophic transition from homogeneous to cavitated deformation and the jumping of stress distribution are discussed. The result of the energy comparison shows the cavitated deformation has lower energy than the homogeneous one, thus the state of cavitated deformation is relatively stable. All investigations illustrate that cavitation reflects a local behavior of materials.

Stability and bifurcation analysis in tri-neuron model with time delay

A simple delayed neural network model with three neurons is considered. By constructing suitable Lyapunov functions, we obtain sufficient delay-dependent criteria to ensure global asymptotical stability of the equilibrium of a tri-neuron network with single time delay. Local stability of the model is investigated by analyzing the associated characteristic equation. It is found that Hopf bifurcation occurs when the time delay varies and passes a sequence of critical values. The stability and direction of bifurcating periodic solution are determined by applying the normal form theory and the center manifold theorem. If the associated characteristic equation of linearized system evaluated at a critical point involves a repeated pair of pure imaginary eigenvalues, then the double Hopf bifurcation is also found to occur in this model. Our main attention will be paid to the double Hopf bifurcation associated with resonance. Some Numerical examples are finally given for justifying the theoretical results.     

Stability and bifurcation of doubly curved shallow panels under quasi-static uniform load

The focus of this paper is on the investigation of the mathematical nature of buckling from the point of view of bifurcation theory. For the doubly curved orthotropic panels subjected to quasi-static uniform load and with hinged boundary conditions, the solution to the non-linear partial differential equation is partitioned into two parts and projected onto the complete space spanned by the eigenfunctions of the linear operator of the governing equation. Furthermore, the fundamental branch, from which a new solution will emanate, is approximated by the first single mode pair which is close to the real membrane state. Whereas the ensuing bifurcated branch is approximated by the other single mode pair, under the assumption that the coupling between modes can be neglected. The present analysis could give a deep insight into the mechanism of the instability of panel structures, and show that there exists a mode transition at the critical point and the snap-through, then results from saddle-node bifurcation on the bifurcated branch. As a conclusion, the buckling of the system studied can be stated as: a bifurcated branch emanates from the fundamental branch at a critical point, and a saddle-node bifurcation, behaving as jumping, then occurs on the ensuing bifurcated branch.     

Dynamic bifurcation of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>-dimensional complex Swift-Hohenberg equation

This paper is concerned with the bifurcation of a complex Swift-Hohenberg equation. The attractor bifurcation of the complex Swift-Hohenberg equation on a one- dimensional domain （0, L） is investigated. It is shown that the n-dimensional complex Swift-Hohenberg equation bifurcates from the trivial solution to an attractor under the Dirichlet boundary condition on a general domain and under a periodic boundary condition when the bifurcation parameter crosses some critical values. The stability property of the bifurcation attractor is analyzed.     

弹性压应力波下直杆动力失稳的机理的判据

基于应力波理论和失稳瞬间能量的转换和守恒,导出了一个直杆动力分岔失稳的准则：（1）直杆在发生分岔失稳的瞬间所释放出的压缩变形能等于屈曲所需变形能与屈曲动能之和;（2）在上述能量转换过程中,能量对时间的变化率服从守恒定律。应用临界条件（1）推导出的直杆动力失稳的控制方程和杆端边界条件以及连续条件,与应用哈密顿原理推导的结果完全相同,但不足以构成求解直杆动力失稳问题的完备定解条件,导出包含两个特征参数的一对特征方程。从而建立了求解直杆动力失稳模态和两个特征参数（临界力参数和失稳惯性项指数参数即动力特征参数）的较严密理论方法。     

Sensitivity analysis of an optimized bar-spring model with hill-top branching

Summary Characteristics of optimal solutions under nonlinear buckling constraints are investigated by using a bar-spring model. It is demonstrated that optimization under buckling constraints of a symmetric system often leads to a structure with hill-top branching, where a limit point and bifurcation points coincide. A general formulation is derived for imperfection sensitivity of the critical load factor corresponding to a hill-top branching point. It is shown that the critical load is not imperfection-sensitive even for the case where an asymmetric bifurcation point exists at the limit point.

Dynamic analysis of mathematical model of ethanol fermentation with gas stripping

In this paper, a mathematical model for ethanol fermentation with gas stripping is investigated. Firstly, the model with continuous substrate input is taken. We study the existence and local stability of two equilibrium points. According to Poincare–Bendixson Theorem, the sufficient condition for the globally asymptotical stability of positive equilibrium point is obtained, which implies that we can get stable ethanol product. Secondly, we study the model with impulsive substrate input and obtain the sufficient condition for the local stability of cell-free periodic solution by using the Floquet’s theory of impulsive differential equation and small-amplitude perturbation skills. In a certain limiting case, it is shown that a nontrivial periodic solution emerges via a supercritical (subcritical) bifurcation. Finally, our results are confirmed by means of numerical simulation.

A universal bifurcation mechanism arising from progressive hydroelastic waves

A unidirectional, weakly dispersive nonlinear model is proposed to describe the supercritical bifurcation arising from hydroelastic waves in deep water. This model equation, including quadratic, cubic, and quartic nonlinearities, is an extension of the famous Whitham equation. The coefficients of the nonlinear terms are chosen to match with the key properties of the full Euler equations, precisely, the associated cubic nonlinear Schr?dinger equation and the amplitude of the solitary wave at the bifurcation point. It is shown that the supercritical bifurcation, rich with Stokes, solitary, generalized solitary, and dark solitary waves in the vicinity of the phase speed minimum, is a universal bifurcation mechanism. The newly developed model can capture the essential features near the bifurcation point and easily be generalized to other nonlinear wave problems in hydrodynamics.     

Cavitated bifurcation for composed compressible hyper-elastic materials

The cavitated bifurcation problem in a solid sphere composed of two compressible hyper-elastic materials is examined. The bifurcation solution for the composed sphere under a uniform radial tensile boundary dead-load is obtained. The bifurcation curves and the stress contributions subsequent to the cavitation are given. The right and left bifurcation as well as the catastrophe and concentration of stresses are analyzed. The stability of solutions is discussed through an energy comparison. Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 19802012).     

Two-dimensional bifurcations of stokes waves

Bifurcation techniques are used to obtain a new class of small amplitude water waves of permanent form. This calculation illustrates an approach which can be applied to nonlinear waves of various types to generate new steady solutions from old.Stokes waves are used as a starting point, and the critical value of steepness at which bifurcation can occur is computed for various choices of modulation wavelength and angular orientation. It is found that, for two-dimensional surfaces, bifurcation can occur at small values of wave steepness.Second-order corrections to the wave amplitude, modulation, frequency, and speed, which apply when one moves off the bifurcation point onto a new branch of solutions, are also computed. Two types of new solutions are found, one symmetric with respect to the carrier wave propagation direction, and one asymmetric.The nonlinear Schrödinger equation is used to model water waves, and thus the calculation can be applied rather directly to other systems governed by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation.     

Asymptotic solutions of coupled equations of supercritically axially moving beam

In supercritical regime, the coupled model equations for the axially moving beam with simple support boundary conditions are considered. The critical speed is determined by linear bifurcation analysis, which is in agreement with the results in the literature. For the corresponding static equilibrium state, the second-order asymptotic nontrivial solutions are obtained through the multiple scales method. Meantime, the numerical solutions are also obtained based on the finite difference method. Comparisons among the analytical solutions, numerical solutions and solutions of integro-partial-differential equation of transverse which is deduced from coupled model equations are made. We find that the second-order asymptotic analytical solutions can well capture the nontrivial equilibrium state regardless of the amplitude of transverse displacement. However, the integro-partial-differential equation is only valid for the weak small-amplitude vibration axially moving slender beams.     

Stability and Synchronization of a Ring of Identical Cells with Delayed Coupling

We consider a ring of identical elements with time delayed, nearest neighbour coupling. The individual elements are modelled by a scalar delay differential equation which includes linear decay and nonlinear delayed feedback. The linear stability of the trivial solution is completely analyzed and illustrated in the parameter space of the coupling strength and the coupling delay. Conditions for global stability of the trivial solution are also given. The bifurcation and stability of nontrivial synchronous solutions from the trivial solution is analyzed using a centre manifold construction.Dedicated to Professor Shui-Nee Chow on the occasion of his 60th birthday.     

Bifurcation of non-negative solutions for an elliptic system

Pattern formation in a nonequilibrium phase transition for a generalized Burgers–Fisher equation

A nonequilibrium phase transition of a generalized Burgers–Fisher equation describing biological pattern formation with a periodic boundary condition is examined. In the presence of a weak external force, some approximate bifurcation solutions near a critical point and new spatially periodic patterns are obtained by using the perturbation method in an infinite-dimensional space. The result shows that the external force delays the bifurcation.
