Design, Modeling, and Nonlinear Dynamics of a Cantilever Beam-Rigid Body MicrogyroscopeMousavi Lajimi, Seyed Amir 05 December 2013 (has links)
A new type of cantilever beam gyroscope is introduced, modeled, and analyzed. The main structure includes a cantilever beam and a rigid body attached to the free end of the beam. The model accounts for the eccentricity, that is the offset of the center of mass of the rigid body relative to the beam's free end. The first and second moments of mass and the rotary inertia appear in the equations of motion and boundary conditions. The common mechanism of electrostatic actuation of microgyroscopes is used with the difference of computing the force at the center of mass resulting in the electrostatic force and moment in the boundary conditions. By using the extended Hamilton's principle, the method of assumed modes, and Lagrange's differential equations, the equations of motion, boundary conditions, and the discretized model are developed. The generalized model simplifies to other beam gyroscope models by setting the required parameters to zero.
Considering the DC and AC components of the actuating and sensing methods, the response is resolved into the static and dynamic components. The static configuration is studied for an increasing DC voltage. For the uncoupled system of equations, the explicit equation relating the DC load and the static configuration is computed and solved for the static configuration of the beam-rigid body in each direction. Including the rotation rate, the stationary analysis is performed, the stationary pull-in voltage is identified, and it is shown that the angular rotation rate does not affect the static configuration. The modal frequencies of the beam-rigid body gyroscope are studied and the instability region due to the rotation rate is computed. It is shown that the gyroscope can operate in the frequency modulation mode and the amplitude modulation mode. To operate the beam-rigid body gyroscope in the frequency modulation mode, the closed-form relation of the observed modal frequency split and the input rotation rate is computed. The calibration curves are generated for a variety of DC loads. It is shown that the scale factor improves by matching the zero rotation rate natural frequencies.
The method of multiple scales is used to study the reduced-order nonlinear dynamics of the oscillations around the static equilibrium. The modulation equations, the ``slow'' system, are derived and solved for the steady-state solutions. The computational shooting method is employed to evaluate the results of the perturbation method. The frequency response and force response plots are generated. For combinations of parameters resulting in a single-valued response, the two methods are in excellent agreement. The synchronization of the response occurs in the sense direction for initially mismatched natural frequencies. The global stability of the system is studied by drawing phase-plane diagrams and long-time integration of response trajectories. The separatrices are computed, the jump phenomena is numerically shown, and the dynamic pull-in of the response is demonstrated. The fold bifurcation points are identified and it is shown that the response jumps to the higher/lower branch beyond the bifurcation points in forward/backward sweep of the amplitude and the excitation frequency of AC voltage.
The mechanical-thermal (thermomechanical) noise effect on the sense response is characterized by using a linear approximation of the system and the nonlinear "slow" system obtained by using the method of multiple scales. To perform linear analysis, the negligible effect of Coriolis force on the drive amplitude is discarded. The second-order drive resonator is solved for the drive amplitude and phase. Finding the sense response due to the thermal noise force and the Coriolis force and equating them computes the mechanical-thermal noise equivalent rotation rate in terms of system parameters and mode shapes. The noise force is included in the third-order equation of the perturbation and equation to account for that in the reduced-order nonlinear response. The numerical results of linear and reduced-order nonlinear thermal noise analyses agree. It is shown that higher quality factor, higher AC voltage, and operating at lower DC points result in better resolution of the microsensor.

Modelli a generazioni sovrapposte per due paesi con un mercato finanziario integrato / TWO-COUNTRY OLG MODELS WITH INTEGRATED FINANCIAL MARKETRILLOSI, FRANCESCO 13 May 2013 (has links)
La tesi, costituita da due parti e tre capitoli, si concentra sulle conseguenze macroeconomiche della globalizzazione, prendendo in considerazione vari schemi di un modello a generazioni sovrapposte, in un mercato finanziario integrato. Per ipotesi, gli agenti vivono per due periodi e sono divisi in due gruppi: i "vecchi" che posseggono il fattore capitale e i "giovani" che offrono lavoro e risparmio. Nella prima parte si suppone che i mercati siano perfetti. Dopo aver ricevuto il loro reddito, i giovani ottimizzano consumo e risparmio. Diverse ipotesi vengono avanzate sull'apertura dei mercati, ma le economie convergono sempre verso uno stato stazionario asintoticamente stabile. Nella seconda parte i mercati finanziari sono imperfetti e i prestiti sono razionati. I giovani agenti risparmiano tutto il loro reddito e consumano solo nel secondo periodo della loro vita. In queste nuove ipotesi si possono riscontrare dinamiche endogene di tipo periodico. / The essay, made by two parts and three chapters, focuses on macroeconomic effects of globalization, considering various schemes of a two-country OLG model with integrated financial market. For hypothesis, agents live for two periods and are divided in two groups: the "old" that own the capital factor and the "young" that supply labor and savings. In the first part markets are supposed to be perfect. After received their income, the young optimize their consumption and savings. Different hypotheses about the opening markets are considered, but the economies ever converge to an asymptotically stable steady state. In the second part the financial markets are imperfect and borrowing is constrained. The young agents save all their income and consume only in the second period of their life. In these new hypotheses endogenous, periodic dynamics may occur.

Mathematics of HSV-2 DynamicsPodder, Chandra Nath 26 August 2010 (has links)
The thesis is based on using dynamical systems theories and techniques to study the qualitative dynamics of herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2), a sexually-transmitted disease of major public health significance.
A deterministic model for the interaction of the virus with the immune system in the body of an infected individual (in vivo) is designed first
of all. It is shown, using Lyapunov function and LaSalle's Invariance Principle, that
the virus-free equilibrium of the model is globally-asymptotically stable whenever a
certain biological threshold, known as the reproduction number, is less than unity. Furthermore, the model has at least one virus-present equilibrium when the threshold quantity exceeds unity. Using persistence theory, it is shown that the virus will always be present in vivo whenever the reproduction threshold exceeds unity. The analyses (theoretical and numerical) of this model show that a future HSV-2 vaccine that enhances cell-mediated immune response will be effective in
curtailling HSV-2 burden in vivo.
A new single-group model for the spread of HSV-2 in
a homogenously-mixed sexually-active population is also designed. The disease-free equilibrium of the model is globally-asymptotically stable when its associated reproduction number is less
than unity. The model has a unique endemic equilibrium, which is shown to be
globally-stable for a special case, when the reproduction number exceeds unity.
The model is extended to incorporate an imperfect vaccine with some therapeutic benefits.
Using centre manifold theory, it is shown that the resulting vaccination model undergoes a vaccine-induced backward bifurcation (the epidemiological
importance of the phenomenon of backward bifurcation is that the
classical requirement of having the reproduction threshold less than unity is, although necessary, no longer sufficient for disease elimination. In such a case, disease elimination depends upon the initial sizes of the
sub-populations of the model). Furthermore, it is shown that the use of such an
imperfect vaccine could lead to a positive or detrimental population-level impact (depending on the sign of a certain threshold quantity).
The model is extended to incorporate the effect of variability in HSV-2 susceptibility due to gender differences. The resulting two-group (sex-structured) model is shown to have essentially the
same qualitative dynamics as the single-group model. Furthermore, it is shown that adding periodicity to the corresponding autonomous two-group model does not alter the dynamics of the autonomous two-group model (with respect to the elimination of the disease). The model is used to evaluate the impact of various anti-HSV control strategies.
Finally, the two-group model is further extended to address the effect of risk structure (i.e., risk of acquiring or transmitting HSV-2). Unlike the two-group model described above, it
is shown that the risk-structured model undergoes backward
bifurcation under certain conditions (the backward bifurcation property can be removed if the susceptible population is not stratified according to the risk of acquiring infection). Thus, one of the main findings of this thesis is that risk structure can induce the phenomenon of backward bifurcation in the transmission dynamics of HSV-2 in a population.

In Chapter 1 the necessary definitions are given, along with the known results on the classification of vector fields on 1-dimensional and 2-dimensional manifolds.
In Chapter 2 methods of Knot Theory are used for the clarification of the topological study of some strange attractors found in the bibliography.
In Chapter 3 a technique is developed, which can be used to classify globally vector fields defined on Euclidean spaces of any dimension.
This technique is then used to classify some vector fields of R^2 and R^3.
In the final Chapter 4 a vector field of R^3 is studied which is invariant under the D_2 symmetry group. We present its global phase portrait, for various parameter values, and its partial bifurcation diagram. The existence of chaos is proven and its connection to the symmetry properties of the attractor is discussed. We end its study presenting its behavior at infinity.

Toda intersecção homoclínica produz um comportamento curioso na dinâmiôa. Nosso modelo de tal fenômeno é a famosa ferradura de Smale, a qual é um conjunto hiperbólico para um difeomorfismo. Além disso, estudamos dinâmica não hiperbólica cuja perda de hiperbolicidade é divido à tangências homoclínicas. Elas tem um papel central na teoria de sistemas dinâmicos. O desdobramento de uma tangência homoclínica produz dinâmicas muito interessantes.

Every homoclinic intersection produce a intricate behavior of the dynamics. Our model of such phenomena is the so called Smalesþs horseshoe, which is a hyperbolic set for a di eomorphism. We also study non hyperbolic dynamics whose lack of hyperbolicity is due to homoclinic tangencies. They play a central role in the theory of dynamical systems. The unfolding of a homoclinic tangency produce many interesting dynamics. In this work we study creation of cascade of period doubling bifurcations and a renormalization scheme for a homoclinic tangency.

O objetivo deste estudo é mostrar a diferença de comportamento do sistema, quando consideramos molas duras (coeficiente de elasticidade cúbica positivo) ou molas suaves (coeficiente de elasticidade cúbica negativo). Para mola dura foi analisada a estabilidade dos pontos de equilíbrio, e mostrada por meio da teoria de variedade central e do teorema de Bezout a existência da bifurcação de Hopf. Para mola suave, þe mostrada a existência de uma órbita heteroclínica conectando dois pontos de sela.

The purpose of this study is to show the difference of behavior of the system when we consider hard springs (positive coefficient of cubical elasticity) or soft springs (negative coefficient of cubical elasticity). For hard spring the stability of the fixed point was analyzed, and by means of the Central Manifolds Theory and the Bezout theorem the existence of the Hopf Bifurcation is shown. For soft spring, it is shown the existence of a heteroclinic orbit connecting two saddle points. Using the classical Melnikov method it is discussed the existence, or not, of the chaotic behavior for some energy level and certain values of the damping coefficient. All the analysis is followed by numerical simulations to confirm the results.

However, there are some topics in nonlinear dynamics that are still studied with variants of this circuit nowadays. Changes in the control parameters may cause electronic oscillations between regular and chaotic regions.The diode is the nonlinear element responsible for the appearance of chaos. Using a nonlinear capacitance model to describe the behavior of the diode, we can write the equations for this system and study its dynamics numerically. Our main objective was the study of critical exponents in complex dynamic bifurcations. For that, we did a numerical study of the RLD circuit forced sinusoidally using as control parameters the amplitude of the input voltage and the frequency. We made, from the time series obtained, bifurcation diagrams with different stroboscopic cuts, which have cascade of period-doubling, periodic windows and intermittent transition. We also did numerical studies of the average behavior in the periodic-chaos transition region searching for characteristic critical exponent and oscilas??es on average, elements that have been observed in the logistic map. It was not possible to observe the oscillations numerically, but we observed an exponential decay with critical exponent of approximately 0.5. We set up a system able to control, acquire and process experimental data making it possible to perform remote simultaneous experiments with two different circuits. We have obtained experimental diagrams bifurcations in which we observe that the system has hysteresis and high sensitivity to the conditions of the experiment such as the step of scanning the control parameter.
