چکیده

A mathematical model of the cardiovascular system is simulated numerically. The basic unit in the model is an oscillator that possesses a structural stability and robustness motivated by physiological understanding and by the analysis of measured time series. Oscillators with linear couplings are found to reproduce the main characteristic features of the experimentally obtained spectra. To explain the variability of cardiac and respiratory frequencies, however, it is essential to take into account the rest of the system, i.e. to consider the effect of noise. It is found that the addition of noise also results in epochs of synchronization, as observed experimentally. Preliminary analysis suggests that there is a mixture of linear and parametric couplings, but that the linear coupling seems to dominate.

Solution of Nonlinear Hardening and Softening type Oscillators by Adomian’s Decomposition Method

A type of nonlinearity in vibrational engineering systems emerges when the restoring force is a nonlinear function of displacement. The derivative of this function is known as stiffness. If the stiffness increases by increasing the value of displacement from the equilibrium position, then the system is known as hardening type oscillator and if the stiffness decreases by increasing the value of ...

Revealing Nonlinear Couplings between Oscillators from Time Series

Quantitative characterization of nonlinear directional couplings between stochastic oscillators from data is considered. We suggest coupling characteristics readily interpreted from a physical viewpoint and their estimators. An expression for a statistical significance level is derived analytically that allows reliable coupling detection from a relatively short time series. Performance of the t...

Modified mathematical model for variable fill fluid coupling

Variable fill fluid couplings are used in the speed control units. Also, variation in coupling oil volume is used in adapting one size of coupling to a wider range of power transmission applications. Available model for the partially filled fluid couplings, has a good performance for couplings with fixed amount of oil but their performance will be degraded if they are used for the variable fill...

On the basin attractions to the Kuramoto system with unidirectionally coupled ring topology

In this short note, we discuss the basin of attractions for many Kuramoto oscillators with unidirectional couplings. For attractive and repulsive couplings, we present proper subsets for the basin of attractions, which are independent of the number of oscillators.

Partial Network Synchronization Using Diï¿1⁄2ffusive Dynamic Couplings

Partial network synchronization is studied for a class of nonlinear oscillators interconnected through diffusive dynamic couplings. We construct diffusive dynamic couplings combining nonlinear observers and output feedback controllers. Sufficient conditions on the systems to be interconnected, on the network topology, on the observer dynamics, and on the coupling strength that guarantee (global...
