We consider third-order dynamic systems which have an integral feedback action and discontinuous relay disturbance. More specifically for the applications, the focus is on the integral plus state-feedback control of the motion systems with…

We study the dissipative quantum Duffing oscillator in the deep quantum regime with two different approaches: The first is based on the exact Floquet states of the linear oscillator and the nonlinearity is treated perturbatively. It well…

We study 2D and 3D localised oscillating patterns in a simple model system exhibiting nonlinear Faraday resonance. The corresponding amplitude equation is shown to have exact soliton solutions which are found to be always unstable in 3D. On…

We propose a control approach for a class of nonlinear mechanical systems to stabilize the system under study while ensuring that the oscillations of the transient response are reduced. The approach is twofold: (i) we apply our technique…

Gravitational forces that oscillate at audio-band frequencies are measured with masses suspended as pendulums that have resonance frequencies even lower. If the pendulum is excited by thermal energy or by seismic motion of the environment,…

Approximate formulas are derived to describe energy loss in a harmonic oscillator that experiences three distinct damping mechanisms: constant-magnitude (Coulomb), velocity-proportional (Stokes), and velocity-squared (Newton), using…

The time-dependent probability density function of a system evolving towards a stationary state exhibits an oscillatory behavior if the eigenvalues of the corresponding evolution operator are complex. The frequencies \omega_n, with which…

We present an experiment conductive to an understanding of both Faraday's law and the properties of the superconducting state. It consists in the analysis of the motion of a superconducting loop moving under the influence of gravity in an…

Propellant sloshing is a well-known, but not completely mastered phenomenon in space vehicles. It is particularly critical in both microgravity environments - such as interplanetary spacecraft requiring high pointing stability - and high-g…

We investigate the behaviour of the lowest nonhydrodynamic modes in a class of holographic models which exhibit an equation of state closely mimicking the one determined from lattice QCD. We calculate the lowest quasinormal mode frequencies…

As a generic model for transport of interacting fermions through a barrier or interstitials in a lattice, quantum Brownian motion in a periodic potential is studied. There is a duality transformation between the continuous coordinate or…

We study the nonlinear behaviors of mass-spring systems damped by dry friction using simulation by a nonlinear LC circuit damped by anti-parallel diodes. We show that the differential equation for the electric oscillator is equivalent to…

We study the possibility of occurrence of vibrational resonance in a softening Duffing oscillator in the underdamped and overdamped cases both theoretically as well as numerically. The oscillator is driven by two periodic forces.…

A 3D pendulum consists of a rigid body, supported at a fixed pivot, with three rotational degrees of freedom. The pendulum is acted on by a gravitational force. Symmetry assumptions are shown to lead to the planar 1D pendulum and to the…

An elastic layer slides on a rigid flat governed by Coulomb's friction law. We demonstrate that if the coefficient of friction is high enough, the sliding localizes within stick-slip pulses, which transform into opening waves propagating at…

A novel method for the numerical prediction of the slowly varying dynamics of nonlinear mechanical systems has been developed. The method is restricted to the regime of an isolated nonlinear mode and consists of a two-step procedure: In the…

We show that the natural resonant frequency of a suspended flexible string is significantly modified (by one order of magnitude) by adding a freely pivoting attached mass at its lower end. This articulated system then exhibits complex…

The concept of nonlinear modes is applied in order to analyze the behavior of a model of woodwind reed instruments. Using a modal expansion of the impedance of the instrument, and by projecting the equation for the acoustic pressure on the…

In the frame of the Lindblad theory of open quantum systems, the system of three uncoupled harmonic oscillators with opening operators linear in the coordinates and momenta of the considered system is analyzed. The damping of the angular…

Starting from the Wigner-Moyal equation coupled to Poisson's equation, a simplified set of equations describing nonlinear Landau damping of Langmuir waves is derived. This system is studied numerically, with a particular focus on the…
