Forced Nonlinear Oscillator in a Fractal Space

Abstract

A critical hurdle of a nonlinear vibration system in a fractal space is the inefficiency in modelling the system. Specifically, the differential equation models cannot elucidate the effect of porosity size and distribution of the periodic property. This paper establishes a fractal-differential model for this purpose, and a fractal Duffing-Van der Pol oscillator (DVdP) with two-scale fractal derivatives and a forced term is considered as an example to reveal the basic properties of the fractal oscillator. Utilizing the two-scale transforms and He-Laplace method, an analytic approximate solution may be attained. Unfortunately, this solution is not physically preferred. It has to be modified along with the nonlinear frequency analysis, and the stability criterion for the equation under consideration is obtained. On the other hand, the linearized stability theory is employed in the autonomous arrangement. Consequently, the phase portraits around the equilibrium points are sketched. For the non-autonomous organization, the stability criteria are analyzed via the multiple time scales technique. Numerical estimations are designed to confirm graphically the analytical approximate solutions as well as the stability configuration. It is revealed that the exciting external force parameter plays a destabilizing role. Furthermore, both of the frequency of the excited force and the stiffness parameter, execute a dual role in the stability picture.

Modified Homotopy Perturbation Method and Approximate Solutions to a Class of Local Fractional Integrodifferential Equations

“…As Deng and Ge [21] pointed out, He-Laplace method has a simple and reliable algorithm and it can be coupled with the HPM or the VIM for solving various nonlinear models, shedding a bright light on fractal calculus. A newest typical example of He-Laplace method to illustrate its simplicity, directness, strength, and great prospects can be found in [22]. In what follows, we employ the local fractional version of He-Laplace method [23] to solve the local fractional IDE (4).…”

“…In the field of composites, Zuo et al [12] used the two-scale fractal theory, and suggested the fractal laws for the electrical conductivity of graphene, carbon nanotubes and graphene/SiC composites. In the field of fractal vibration system, He et al [13] established a fractaldifferential model and a fractal Duffing-Van der Pol oscillator with two-scale fractal derivatives and a forced term was considered as an example to reveal the basic properties of the fractal oscillator. It was revealed that the exciting external force parameter plays a destabilizing role.…”

Intelligent Nanomaterials for Solar Energy Harvesting: From Polar Bear Hairs to Unsmooth Nanofiber Fabrication

“…Recently, various devices have been developed for energy harvesting, such as the nanofluids ( He and Elazem, 2022 ), the spring-pendulum systems ( Wu et al, 2018 ; He et al, 2022a ), and the low-frequency vibration systems ( Zhang and Cai., 2012 ; He C.-H. et al, 2021 ; He et al, 2022b ). In addition to the abovementioned methods, the nanotechnology for solar energy harvesting ( Satharasinghe et al, 2020 ) is totally new and is quite promising.…”
