Abstract

The energy-based dual-phase dynamics identification (EDDI) method is a new data-driven technique for the discovery of equations of motion (EOMs) of strongly nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom (SDOF) oscillators. This research uses the EDDI method to obtain mathematical models for SDOF systems with clearance nonlinearities. The first key aspect of the EDDI method is that it relates the kinetic energy of the system to the dissipated energy and the underlying non-conservative forces acting on the oscillator. The second key aspect is that the EOM is identified with only knowledge of the mass of the oscillator and the transient response. The first phase of the EDDI method constructs the dissipated energy from the kinetic energy, then identifies a mathematical model for the damping based on the dissipated energy. To achieve this, the moments in time when the displacements are zero, where the mechanical and kinetic energies are equal, are used to compute the energy dissipated by the damping of the system. The second phase begins by computing the conservative force acting on the oscillator from either a balance of the other forces in the system or through the Lagrange equation. Finally, the stiffness model is determined by solving a set of linear equations to construct a mathematical model for the conservative (elastic) force. The governing equations are discovered by incorporating both the damping and stiffness terms. The method is demonstrated by employing analytical and real measured responses of nonlinear SDOF systems with different clearances nonlinearities, which shows that the proposed approach is suitable for non-smooth mechanical systems as well as smooth systems.

Asymmetry of a class of Mellin transforms

We introduce the quantity $μ_η$, defined for every complex $s$ in the critical strip, as a transformation of the Mellin transform associated to the functions $η$. We establish a sufficient condition on $η$ under which $μ_η(s)$ and $μ_η(1-s)$ cannot both vanish outside the critical line. An application is given to the case in which $η$ is the fractional part function, and the zeros of $μ_η$ coincide with the zeros of the Riemann zeta function.

Infinite Set of Resonances in the Linear Damped Oscillator Subject to Harmonic Forcing with Non-standard Frequency Modulation

It is shown that harmonic signals incorporating a type of weak non-standard frequency modulation (wNSFM) have interesting spectral properties, namely, time-dependent bandwidths that become increasingly broader with increasing time. As such, they represent a class of signals with frequency-time coupling in their spectra. Specifically, the weakly damped oscillator exhibits always two transient resonance captures involving two distinct harmonics possessing relatively high amplitudes over finite time intervals, while the overall response decays as $~t^{-1/2}$ as $t\rightarrow\infty$. Considering the undamped oscillator, it possesses two types of resonances, referred to as simple and non-simple resonances. Simple resonances correspond to finite-amplitude steady-state responses caused by two sustained resonance captures, in the form of two distinct modulated quasi-periodic responses, which, however are "activated" at different time instances. The necessary and sufficient conditions for non-simple resonances are given in the form of a theorem which predicts the existence of resonant harmonics and specifies the special phase conditions that the resonant harmonics must satisfy for constructive interference; the resulting undamped non-simple resonance grows unboundedly as $~t^{-1/2}$ as $t\rightarrow\infty$, in contrast to the classical resonance growth of the linear resonator with unmodulated harmonic excitation whose response grows as $~t$ as $t\rightarrow\infty$. These resonant responses are persistent to changes in the parameters of the wNSFM. Our results reveal interesting infinite sets of resonances in linear SDOF resonators under frequency-modulated excitations.
