Principal resonance of a Duffing oscillator with delayed state feedback under narrow-band random parametric excitation

The principal resonance of a Duffing oscillator with delayed state feedback under narrow-band random parametric excitation is studied by using the method of multiple scales and numerical simulations. The first-order approximations of the solution, together with the modulation equations of both amplitude and phase, are derived. The effects of the frequency detuning, the deterministic amplitude, the intensity of the random excitation and the time delay on the dynamical behaviors, such as stability and bifurcation, are studied through the largest Lyapunov exponent. Moreover, the appropriate choice of the feedback gains and the time delay is discussed from the viewpoint of vibration control. It is found that the appropriate choice of the time delay can broaden the stable region of the trivial steady-state solution and enhance the control performance. The theoretical results are well verified through numerical simulations.     

Vibration control for the primary resonance of the van der Pol oscillator by a time delay state feedback

We investigate the primary resonance of an externally excited van der Pol oscillator under state feedback control with a time delay. By means of the asymptotic perturbation method, two slow-flow equations on the amplitude and phase of the oscillator are obtained and external excitation-response and frequency-response curves are shown. We discuss how vibration control and high amplitude response suppression can be performed with appropriate time delay and feedback gains. Moreover, energy considerations are used in order to investigate existence and characteristics of limit cycles of the slow-flow equations. A limit cycle corresponds to a two-period modulated motion for the van der Pol oscillator. We demonstrate that appropriate choices for the feedback gains and the time delay can exclude the possibility of modulated motion and reduce the amplitude peak of the primary resonance. Analytical results are verified with numerical simulations.     

Applications of the integral equation method to delay differential equations

In this paper, we compare two approaches for determining the amplitude equations; namely, the integral equation method and the method of multiple scales. To describe and compare the methods, we consider three examples: the parametric resonance of a Van der Pol oscillator under state feedback control with a time delay, the primary resonance of a harmonically forced Duffing oscillator under state feedback control with a time delay, and the primary resonance together with 1:1 internal resonance of a two degree-of-freedom model. Using the integral equation method and the method of multiple scales, the amplitude equations are obtained. The stability of the periodic solution is examined by using the Floquet theorem together with the Routh–Hurwitz criterion (without time delay) and the Nyquist criterion (with time delay). By comparison with the solution obtained by the numerical integration, we find that the accuracy of the integral equation method is much better.     

Local Bifurcation Control of a Forced Single-Degree-of-Freedom Nonlinear System: Saddle-Node Bifurcation

It is well known that saddle-node bifurcations can occur in the steady-state response of a forced single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) nonlinear system in the cases of primary and superharmonic resonances. This discontinuous or catastrophic bifurcation can lead to jump and hysteresis phenomena, where at a certain interval of the control parameter, two stable attractors exist with an unstable one in between. A feedback control law is designed to control the saddle-node bifurcations taking place in the resonance response, thus removing or delaying the occurrence of jump and hysteresis phenomena. The structure of candidate feedback control law is determined by analyzing the eigenvalues of the modulation equations. It is shown that three types of feedback – linear, nonlinear, and a combination of linear and nonlinear – are adequate for the bifurcation control. Finally, numerical simulations are performed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed feedback control.     

时滞反馈控制对弹簧摆动力学行为的影响

利用解析和数值方法,以弹簧摆为对象讨论了线性的时滞位移反馈控制对一类平方非线性系统动力学行为的影响。根据多尺度法得到了1:2内共振情况下一次近似解的慢变方程,基于此讨论了反馈控制参数对零解的稳定性和周期解振幅的影响。结果表明:耦合的反馈项在平均方程中并不出现。根据罗斯-霍尔维茨判据发现,没有反馈控制时该系统的零解总是不稳定的,而通过调整反馈增益或反馈时滞就可以很容易地使零解稳定。反馈时滞对周期解振幅的影响呈现周期性,反馈增益或时滞发生变化时,周期解振幅的变化会表现出鞍结分岔现象;同时基于MATLAB软件的数值计算结果验证了该理论分析的正确性。     

Vibration control for parametrically excited Liénard systems

We apply a new vibration control method for time delay non-linear oscillators to the principal resonance of a parametrically excited Liénard system under state feedback control with a time delay. Using the asymptotic perturbation method, we obtain two slow flow equations on the amplitude and phase. Their fixed points correspond to limit cycles for the Liénard system. Vibration control and high-amplitude response suppression can be performed with appropriate time delay and feedback gains. Using energy considerations, we investigate existence and characteristics of limit cycles of the slow flow equations. A limit cycle corresponds to a two-period quasi-periodic modulated motion for the starting system and in order to reduce the amplitude peak of the parametric resonance and to exclude the existence of two-period quasi-periodic motion, we find the appropriate choices for the feedback gains and the time delay.

The Response of a Parametrically Excited van der Pol Oscillator to a Time Delay State Feedback

We investigate the parametric resonance of a van der Pol oscillator under state feedback control with a time delay. Using the asymptotic perturbation method, we obtain two slow-flow equations on the amplitude and phase ofthe oscillator. Their fixed points correspond to a periodic motion forthe starting system and we show parametric excitation-response andfrequency-response curves.

Time-delayed feedback control optimization for quasi linear systems under random excitations

A strategy for time-delayed feedback control optimization of quasi linear systems with random excitation is proposed. First, the stochastic averaging method is used to reduce the dimension of the state space and to derive the stationary response of the system. Secondly, the control law is assumed to be velocity feedback control with time delay and the unknown control gains are determined by the performance indices. The response of the controlled system is predicted through solving the Fokker-Plank-Kolmogorov equation associated with the averaged Ito equation. Finally, numerical examples are used to illustrate the proposed control method, and the numerical results are confirmed by Monte Carlo simulation .

Adaptive fuzzy H ∞ tracking design of SISO uncertain nonlinear fractional order time-delay systems

In this paper, a fuzzy logic controller equipped with training algorithms is developed such that the H ^?? tracking performance should be satisfied for a model-free nonlinear fractional order time delay system which is infinite dimensional in nature and time delay is a source of instability. In order to deal with the linguistic uncertainties caused from delay terms, the adaptive time delay fuzzy logic system is constructed to approximate the unknown time delay system functions. By incorporating Lyapunov stability criterion with H ^?? tracking design technique, the free parameters of the adaptive fuzzy controller can be tuned on line by output feedback control law and adaptive law. Moreover, the tracking error and external disturbance can be attenuated to arbitrary desired level. The numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive H ^?? tracking scheme.

Nonlinear resonances in an axially excited beam carrying a top mass: simulations and experiments

In this paper, nonlinear resonances in a coupled shaker-beam-top mass system are investigated both numerically and experimentally. The imperfect, vertical beam carries the top mass and is axially excited by the shaker at its base. The weight of the top mass is below the beam’s static buckling load. A semi-analytical model is derived for the coupled system. In this model, Taylor-series approximations are used for the inextensibility constraint and the curvature of the beam. The steady-state behavior of the model is studied using numerical tools. In the model with a single beam mode, parametric and direct resonances are found, which affect the dynamic stability of the structure. The model with two beam modes not only shows an additional second harmonic resonance, but also reveals some extra small resonances in the low-frequency range, some of which can be identified as combination resonances. The experimental steady-state response is obtained by performing a (stepped) frequency sweep-up and sweep-down with respect to the harmonic input voltage of the amplifier-shaker combination. A good correspondence between the numerical and experimental steady-state responses is obtained.     

ACTIVE CONTROL OF A FLEXIBLE CANTILEVER PLATE WITH MULTIPLE TIME DELAYS

Active control of a flexible cantilever plate with multiple time delays is investigated using the discrete optimal control method. A controller with multiple time delays is presented. In this controller, time delay effect is incorporated in the mathematical model of the dynamic system throughout the control design and no approximations and assumptions are made in the controller derivation, so the system stability is easily guaranteed. Furthermore, this controller is available for both small time delays and large time delays. The feasibility and efficiency of the proposed controller are verified through numerical simulations in the end of this paper.     

Using the delayed feedback control and saturation control to suppress the vibration of the dynamical system

In the present paper, the delayed feedback control is applied to suppress or stabilize the vibration of the primary system in a two degree-of-freedom dynamical system with parametrically excited pendulum. The case of a 1:2 internal resonance between pendulum and primary system is studied. The method of multiple scales is applied to obtain second-order approximations of the response of the system. The system stability and bifurcations of equilibrium point of the averaged equations are computed. It is shown that the delayed feedback control can be used to suppress the vibration or stabilize the system when the saturation control is invalid. The vibration of the primary system can be suppressed by the delayed feedback control when the original system is in the single-mode motion. The effect of gain and delay on the vibration suppression is discussed. As the delay varies at a fixed value of the gain, the vibration of the primary system can be suppressed at some values of the delay. The vibration suppression performance of the system is improved at a large value of the gain. The vibration of the primary system could be suppressed about 56% compared with the original system by choosing the appropriate values of gain and delay. The delayed feedback control also can be used to stabilize the system when the original system is unstable. The gain and delay could be chosen as the controlling parameters. Numerical simulation is agreement with the analytical solutions well.     

A Nonlinear Vibration Absorber for Flexible Structures

An approach for implementing an active nonlinear vibration absorber for flexible structures is presented. The technique exploits the saturation phenomenon exhibited by multidegree-of-freedom systems with quadratic nonlinearities possessing two-to-one autoparametric resonances. The strategy consists of introducing second-order controllers and coupling each of them with the plant through a sensor and an actuator, where both the feedback and control signals are quadratic. Once the structure is forced near its resonances, the oscillatory response is suppressed through the saturation phenomenon. We present theoretical and experimental results of the application of the proposed vibration absorber. The structure consists of a cantilever beam, the feedback signal is generated by a strain gage, and the actuation is achieved through piezoceramic patches. The equations of motion are developed and analyzed through perturbation techniques and numerical simulation. Then, the strategy is tested by assembling the controllers in electronic components and suppressing the vibrations of the first and second modes of two beams.     

Decomposition methods for time‐domain Maxwell's equations

Decomposition methods based on split operators are proposed for numerical integration of the time‐domain Maxwell's equations for the first time. The methods are obtained by splitting the Hamiltonian function of Maxwell's equations into two analytically computable exponential sub‐propagators in the time direction based on different order decomposition methods, and then the equations are evaluated in the spatial direction by the staggered fourth‐order finite‐difference approximations. The stability and numerical dispersion analysis for different order decomposition methods are also presented. The theoretical predictions are confirmed by our numerical results.

Delayed full-state feedback control of airfoil flutter using sliding mode control method

This paper studies the delayed feedback control of flutter of a two-dimensional airfoil using a sliding mode control (SMC) method. The dynamic equation of airfoil flutter is firstly established using the Lagrange method, in which the cubic hardening spring nonlinearity of pitch stiffness is considered. Then, the state equation with time delay is transformed into a standard state equation with implicit time delay by a special integral transformation. Next a nonlinear time-delay controller is designed using the SMC method. Finally the effectiveness of the proposed controller is verified through numerical simulations. Simulation results indicate that time delay in the control system has significant influence on the control performance. Control failure may happen if time delay is not considered in control design. The time-delay controller proposed is effective in suppressing the airfoil flutter with either small or large control time delay.
