Twinkling Phenomena In Snap-Through Oscillators∗
نویسندگان
چکیده
Oscillatory behavior in a chain of masses connected by springs with continuous but non-monotonic spring forces can be induced under quasi-static loading. Insight into the birth of this behavior is obtained from a single mass system. A bifurcation study shows the potential for equilibrium jumps between multiple equilibria. As such, the transients occurring under quasi-static loading do not converge to the static loading case. Transients during dynamic loading show sensitivity to the loading parameters.

Bifurcations in Twinkling Oscillators
We present the underlying dynamics of snap-through structures that exhibit twinkling. Twinkling occurs when the nonlinear structure is loaded slowly and the masses snap-through, converting the low frequency input to high frequency oscillations. We have studied a nonlinear spring-mass chain loaded by a quasistatic pull. The spring forces are assumed to be cubic with intervals of negative stiffne...
متن کاملGlobal “eclipse” Bifurcation in a Twinkling Oscillator
This work regards the use of cubic springs with intervals of negative stiffness, in other words “snap-through” elements, in order to convert low-frequency ambient vibrations into highfrequency oscillations, referred to as “twinkling”. The focus of this paper is on a global bifurcation of a two-mass chain which, in the symmetric system, involves infinitely many equilibria at the bifurcation poin...

Residual gas saturation is one of the most important parameter in determining recovery factor of water-drive gas reservoir. Visual observation of processes occurring at the pore level in micromodels can give an insight to fluid displacements at the larger scale and also help the interpretation of production performance at reservoir scale. In this study experimental tests in a glass micromod...
متن کاملFluidic Oscillators’ Applications, Structures and Mechanisms – A Review
Enhancement of heat and mass transfer and decrease of energy dissipation are great necessities of the evolution of fluid flow devices. Utilizing oscillatory or pulsatile fluid flow for periodic disturbing of velocity and thermal boundary layers is one of the methods with exciting results. Passive methods of generating oscillatory flow are preferred to active methods because of simplicity, no ne...
متن کاملAnalysis of Oscillation Amplitude and Phase Error in Multiphase LC Oscillators
Abstract This work proposes a novel method to find the phase error and oscillation amplitude in multiphase LC oscillators. A mathematical approach is used to find the relationship between every stage's output phase and its coupling factor. To much more general analysis, every stage assumed to have a different coupling factor. The mismatches in LC tanks are considered as the main source of pha...
