In the last decade we have witnessed exciting technological advances in the fabrication and control of microelectromechanical and nanoelectromechanical systems (MEMS&NEMS) [16, 19, 26, 54, 55]. Such systems are being developed for a host of nanotechnological applications, such as highly sensitive mass [25, 34, 67], spin [56], and charge detectors [17, 18], as well as for basic research in the m...

Consider the stochastic Duffing-van der Pol equation ẍ = −ω2x− Ax −Bx2ẋ + εβẋ + εσxẆt with A ≥ 0 and B > 0. If β/2 + σ/8ω > 0 then for small enough ε > 0 the system (x, ẋ) is positive recurrent in R \ {0}. Let λ̃ε denote the top Lyapunov exponent for the linearization of this equation along trajectories. The main result asserts that λ̃ε ∼ ελ̃ as ε → 0 where λ̃ is the top Lyapunov exponent along tra...

The effect of the shape of six different periodic forces and second periodic forces on the onset of horseshoe chaos are studied both analytically and numerically in a Duffing oscillator. The external periodic forces considered are sine wave, square wave, symmetric saw-tooth wave, asymmetric saw-tooth wave, rectified sine wave, and modulus of sine wave. An analytical threshold condition for the ...

Recently the classical variational problem for a Duffing type equation received again some attention. In [1], [2], [7], some variational approaches were used in order to receive the existence of solutions for both periodic and Dirichlet type boundary value problems. Mainly direct method is applied under various conditions pertaining to at most quadratic growth imposed on the nonlinear term give...

In the present paper, a new analytical technique is introduced for obtaining approximate periodic solutions of Helmholtz-Duffing oscillator. Modified Harmonic Balance Method (MHBM) is adopted as the solution method. A classical harmonic balance method does not apply directly for solving Helmholtz-Duffing oscillator. Generally, a set of difficult nonlinear algebraic equations is found when MHBM ...

The paper contains technical details and proofs of recent results developed by the author, regarding the design of LPV controllers directly from experimental data. A numerical example is also presented, about control of the Duffing oscillator.

this paper proposes a hybrid control scheme for the synchronization of two chaotic duffing oscillator system, subject to uncertainties and external disturbances. the novelty of this scheme is that the linear quadratic regulation (lqr) control, sliding mode (sm) control and gaussian radial basis function neural network (grbfnn) control are combined to chaos synchronization with respect to extern...

We report microwave transmission measurements of superconducting Fabry-Perot resonators, having a superconducting nanowire placed at a supercurrent antinode. As the plasma oscillation is excited, the supercurrent is forced to flow through the nanowire. The microwave transmission of the resonator-nanowire device shows a nonlinear resonance behavior, significantly dependent on the amplitude of th...
