Stability of Solutions to Damped Equations with Negative Stiffness
نویسنده
چکیده
This article concerns the stability of a model for mass-spring systems with positive damping and negative stiffness. It is well known that when the coefficients are frozen in time the system is unstable. Here we find conditions on the variable coefficients to prove stability. In particular, we disprove the believe that if the eigenvalues of the system change slowly in time the system remains unstable. We extend some of our results for nonlinear systems.

Numerical solution of second-order stochastic differential equations with Gaussian random parameters
In this paper, we present the numerical solution of ordinary differential equations (or SDEs), from each order especially second-order with time-varying and Gaussian random coefficients. We indicate a complete analysis for second-order equations in special case of scalar linear second-order equations (damped harmonic oscillators with additive or multiplicative noises). Making stochastic differe...
متن کاملStability of Negative Stiffness Viscoelastic Systems
We analytically investigate the stability of a discrete viscoelastic system with negative stiffness elements both in the time and frequency domains. Parametric analysis was performed by tuning both the amount of negative stiffness in a standard linear solid and driving frequency. Stability conditions were derived from the analytical solutions of the differential governing equations and the Lyap...

In this paper, bending analysis of concentric and eccentric beam stiffened square and rectangular plate using the meshless collocation method has been investigated. For detecting the governing equations of plate and beams, Mindlin plate theory and Timoshenko beam theory have been used, respectively, with the stiffness matrices of the plate and the beams obtained separately. The stiffness matric...

This paper presents the governing equations on the rectangular plate with the variation of material stiffness through their thick using higher order shear deformation theory (HSDT). The governing equations are obtained by using Hamilton's principle with regard to variation of Young's modulus in through their thick with regard sinusoidal variation of the displacement field across the thickness. ...
متن کاملExtreme stiffness systems due to negative stiffness elements
When an elastic object is pressed, we expect it to resist by exerting a restoring force. A reversal of this force corresponds to negative stiffness. If we combine elements with positive and negative stiffness in a composite, it is possible to achieve stiffness greater than ~or less than! that of any of the constituents. This behavior violates established bounds that tacitly assume that each pha...
