2.2.11 Case of an arbitrary perturbing force

We consider first of all the non-damped motion with arbitrary perturbing forces,

governed by an equation of the form (8.2.42), in case of elastic forces of attraction, or

of the form

()tθ is Heaviside’s distribution. As well, the distribution of function type

(8.2.61)

is the fundamental solution of the operator

22 2

Dd/dt ω=−; this distribution is

generated by a continuous and everywhere differentiable function, excepting the origin.

Using the considerations in App., Subsec. 3.3.1, we may write

2.2.12 Oscillations with variable characteristics

The oscillations with variable characteristics (parametric oscillations) are the

oscillations of a mechanical system the parameters of which (mass, frequency,

dimensions, elastic coefficient, damping coefficient etc.) are functions of time. In the

absence of a perturbing force, the mathematical model of such a mechanical

phenomenon leads to a differential equation of the form

(8.2.80)

()tα and ()tβ are periodic functions. By the substitution

(8.2.81)

equation may be a different task from case to case. The general solution can be written

in the form

() e () e ()

ut t t

λμ

ϕψ=+,

(8.2.81')

where the coefficients

λ and μ are characteristic coefficients of the equation, while

()tϕ and ()tψ are periodic functions of period T (as well as the function ()tγ ),

which have to be determined. One may put the condition

()()ut T kut

(8.2.81'')

where

(, )kkλμ

. Thus, if we know the motion during a period, then the motion in

the following period is obtained by multiplying the elongation of the first period by the

factor

k a.s.o. If 1k < , then the elongations tend to zero and the oscillations are

damped; if

1k > , then the elongations increase in time and the motion becomes

instable.

2.2.13 Non-linear oscillations

We say that a mechanical system represents a non-linear oscillatory system if, in the

differential equation of motion, one or several characteristic parameters (mass, elastic

coefficient, frequency etc.) depend on the displacement

x . In general, the differential

equation of these oscillations is of the form

(,;) 0xfxxt

elastic force and the displacement) or, in particular, of the form

as the non-linear vibration is non-autonomous or autonomous, respectively. If the non-

linear term depends only on

x , then the function ()

x which intervenes is called arc

characteristic; the most times, in practice, the graphic of the function

()

x is

symmetric with respect to the origin (

()

x is an odd function, that is ()

x−

()

x=− ). If the graphic of the function ()

x has the concavity towards down in the

vicinity of the origin for

0x > , hence if () 0

′

(Fig.8.50,a), then the arc

characteristic is weak, while if, in the same vicinity, the graphic of the function

()

has the concavity towards up for

0x > , hence if () 0

′

(Fig.8.50,b), then the arc

characteristic is strong.

In case of great oscillations of the simple pendulum, the non-linear character of the

phenomenon is put into evidence in the equation (7.1.38'). Developing

sin θ into a

power series, we obtain, in a first approximation, the linear differential equation

(7.1.45). In a second approximation (non-linear approximation, in which we take two

terms in the series development), we may write
