This paper investigates geometrically nonlinear aeroelastic effects on an industry-level aircraft configuration. Results are obtained via a new approach that uses geometrical information to compute and seamlessly integrates with conventional, linear load packages. The starting point is generic finite-element model frequency-domain aerodynamic influence coefficient matrices, the resulting system...

Nowadays, atomic-force microscopy plays a significant role in nanoscience and nanotechnology, and is widely used for direct measurement at atomic scale and scanning the sample surfaces. In tapping mode, the microcantilever of atomic-force microscope is excited at resonance frequency. Therefore, it is important to study its resonance. Moreover, atomic-force microscopes can be operated in fluid e...

Several decades of dynamical analyses of food-web networks [1–6] have led to important insights into the effects of complexity, omnivory and interaction strength on food-web stability [6–8]. Several recent insights [7,8] are based on nonlinear bioenergetic consumer-resource models [9] that display chaotic behavior in three species food chains [10,11] which can be stabilized by omnivory [7] and ...

-This paper presents the relative difference between the linear and nonlinear controller. The linear controller namely Proportional integral derivate controller (PID) and nonlinear controller called Generalized Proportional Integral (GPI) controller and Sliding mode controller are considered for the response analysis. The transient and dynamic performances of the linear and nonlinear controller...

a simplified approach for nonlinear analysis of the load-displacement response of a single pile and a pile group is presented using the load-transfer approach. a hyperbolic model is used to capture the relationship between unit skin friction and pile-soil relative displacement developed at the pile-soil interface and the load-displacement relationship developed at the pile end. as to the nonlin...

The stochastic response of dynamic systems has been an area of considerable interest for some time in the analysis of risk and structural reliability. The authors, in previous work, have developed a method which can analyze the response of linear multi-degree-of-freedom systems to completely general data-based nonstationary excitations in a highly efficient and analytical form. The authors exte...

near-fault ground motions with long-period pulses can place severe demands on structures near an active fault. these pulse-type ground motions can be represented by pulse sequences with simple shapes. half-sinusoidal pulse sequences are used to approximate recorded ground motions and dynamic responses of sdof system under the excitation of these pulse sequences are studied. four cases are consi...

In quasi-static tests, flexible polyurethane foam undergoing large compressive loading and unloading deformation exhibits highly nonlinear and viscoelastic behavior. In particular, the response in the first cycle is significantly different from the response in subsequent cycles. In addition, the stresses in the loading paths are higher than those in unloading paths. It is assumed that this quas...
