A recent large deflection cantilever model is considered. The principal nonlinear effects come through the beam's inextensibility---local arc length preservation---rather than traditional extensible effects attributed to fully restricted…

In this paper, we consider an inverse problem for a nonlinear wave equation with a damping term and a general nonlinear term. This problem arises in nonlinear acoustic imaging and has applications in medical imaging and other fields. The…

A high fidelity model is developed for an elastic string pendulum, one end of which is attached to a rigid body while the other end is attached to an inertially fixed reel mechanism which allows the unstretched length of the string to be…

We describe a method to model nonlinear dynamical systems using periodic solutions of delay-differential equations. We show that any finite-time trajectory of a nonlinear dynamical system can be loaded approximately into the initial…

Motivated by the motion of biopolymers and membranes in solution, this article presents a formulation of the equations of motion for curves and surfaces in a viscous fluid. We focus on geometrical aspects and simple variational methods for…

The normal form and zero dynamics are powerful tools useful in analysis and control of both linear and nonlinear systems. There are no simple closed form solutions to the general zero dynamics problem for nonlinear systems. A few algorithms…

The main purpose of this paper is to formulate new conditions for smooth linearization of nonautonomous systems with discrete and continuous time. Our results assume that the linear part admits a very general form of dichotomy known as…

In an effort to provide an alternative method to represent a quantum spin, a precise 3D nonlinear dynamics method is used. A two-sided torque function is created to mimic the unique behavior of the quantum spin. A full 3D representation of…

The construction of a generalized (higher-order) nonlinear thermo-hydrodynamics, based on a nonequilibrium ensemble formalism has been presented in the preceding article. The working of such theory is illustrated in the present one. We…

We give a means for measuring the equation of evolution of a complex scalar field that is known to obey an otherwise unspecified (2+1)-dimensional dissipative nonlinear parabolic differential equation, given field moduli over three…

In the limit of infinite yield time for stresses, the hydrodynamic equations for viscoelastic, Non-Newtonian liquids such as polymer melts must reduce to that for solids. This piece of information suffices to uniquely determine the…

A binary fluid mixture in contact with lateral particle reservoirs is considered. By imposing different particle concentrations in these reservoirs, the system can be maintained under controlled non-equilibrium conditions. Previous…

We introduce a machine-learning-based framework for constructing continuum non-Newtonian fluid dynamics model directly from a micro-scale description. Dumbbell polymer solutions are used as examples to demonstrate the essential ideas. To…

Dissipation can be represented in Hamiltonian mechanics in an extended phase space as a symplectic process. The method uses an auxiliary variable which represents the excitation of unresolved dynamics and a Hamiltonian for the interaction…

We discuss several steady-state rotation and oscillation modes of the planar parametric rotator and pendulum with damping. We consider a general elliptic trajectory of the suspension point for both rotator and pendulum, for the latter at an…

Nonlinear string vibration, in particular the case of nonplanar motion, has been an area of intense study for many years. Numerical simulation methods, essential for the comparison between measured data and theory, have received somewhat…

Cable-like bodies play a key role in many interdisciplinary systems but are hard to simulate. Asymptotic theories, called slender-body theories, are effective but apply in specific regimes and can be hard to extend beyond leading order. In…

Modal synthesis methods are a long-standing approach for modelling distributed musical systems. In some cases extensions are possible in order to handle geometric nonlinearities. One such case is the high-amplitude vibration of a string,…

These are lecture notes for various Summer and Winter schools that I have given. The notes describe the methodology called Variational Modelling, and focus on the application to the modelling of gradient-flow systems. I describe the…

We consider quantum nonlinear systems with dissipation described within the Caldeira-Leggett model, i.e., by a nonlocal action in the path integral for the density matrix. Approximate classical-like formulas are derived in order to evaluate…
