Rigorous Q Factor Formulation and Characterization for Nonlinear Oscillators
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we discuss the definition of Q factor for nonlinear oscillators. While available definitions of Q are often limited to linear resonators or oscillators with specific topologies, our definition is applicable to any oscillator as a figure of merit for its amplitude stability. It can be formulated rigorously and computed numerically from oscillator equations. With this definition, we calculate and analyze the Q factors of several oscillators of different types. The results confirm that the proposed Q formulation is a useful addition to the characterization techniques for oscillators.

A distinct numerical approach for the solution of some kind of initial value problem involving nonlinear q-fractional differential equations
The fractional calculus deals with the generalization of integration and differentiation of integer order to those ones of any order. The q-fractional differential equation usually describe the physical process imposed on the time scale set Tq. In this paper, we first propose a difference formula for discretizing the fractional q-derivative of Caputo type with order and scale index . We es...

متن کاملSolution of Nonlinear Hardening and Softening type Oscillators by Adomian’s Decomposition Method
A type of nonlinearity in vibrational engineering systems emerges when the restoring force is a nonlinear function of displacement. The derivative of this function is known as stiffness. If the stiffness increases by increasing the value of displacement from the equilibrium position, then the system is known as hardening type oscillator and if the stiffness decreases by increasing the value of ...

In this paper, the effect of angle between predictor and corrector surfaces on the structural analysis is investigated. Two objective functions are formulated based on this angle and also the load factor. Optimizing these functions, and using the structural equilibrium path’s geometry, lead to two new constraints for the nonlinear solver. Besides, one more formula is achieved, which was p...
