We derive the Euler-Lagrange equations for a large class of variational problems on curves. Our result generalizes a recent result obtained in the literature. Moreover, it is simple and self-contained. It directly yields Euler-Lagrange equations in the form of equilibrium equations for the internal force and moment.

New effectual configuration of bistable nonlinear energy sink.
Sci Rep
November 2024
Khalifa University of Science and Technology, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
The study presents a new configuration of nonlinear energy sinks (NESs) which is adaptable to function as either stable or bistable NES. The proposed NES is based on the spring-loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP) in which a torsional stiffness element couples the SLIP to the linear oscillator (LO). The bistable configuration provides a critically stable position when the SLIP is vertically aligned with respect to the LO motion.

Discrete-time optimal control problems are a crucial type of control problems that deal with a dynamic system evolving in discrete time-steps. This paper introduces a new technique for solving linear discrete-time optimal control problems with state delays, applicable to both finite and infinite time horizons. Our method employs a Riccati matrix equation, optimizing control strategies and ensuring system stability through bounded control inputs.

The incorporation of viscoelastic layers in laminates can markedly enhance the damped dynamic characteristics. This study focuses on integrating viscoelastic layers into the composite facesheet of the bowtie-shaped honeycomb core composite sandwich panel (BHC-CSP). The homogenization of the damped BHC-CSP is performed by employing the variational asymptotic method.

We consider systems of N particles interacting on the unit circle through 2π-periodic potentials. An example is the N-rotor problem that arises as the classical limit of coupled Josephson junctions and for various energies is known to have a wide range of behaviors such as global chaos and ergodicity, together with families of periodic solutions and transitions from order to chaos. We focus here on selected initial values for generalized systems in which the second order Euler-Lagrange equations reduce to first order equations, which we show by example can describe an ensemble of oscillators with associated emergent phenomena such as synchronization.

Complex and nonlinear fractal equations are ubiquitous in natural phenomena. This research employs the fractal Euler-Lagrange and semi-inverse methods to derive the nonlinear space-time fractal Fornberg-Whitham equation. This derivation provides an in-depth comprehension of traveling wave propagation.
