    On the equilibrium of a rigid body suspended by a set of linear springs
    (John Wiley & Sons, 2000-08) Tokad, Yılmaz
    In this paper an approach is described for determining equilibrium states of a rigid body suspended elastically in space by a set of linear springs. This system is considered as a two-terminal generalized spring with terminal across (translational and rotational velocities, V-G, omega(G)) and terminal through (terminal force and moment, f(G), m(G)) variables. The algorithmic approach used for the solution of six nonlinear and coupled equilibrium equations consists of two major steps. The first step is to assign an initial orientation to the rigid body which is represented by the transformation (rotation) matrix T(theta,n) and reduce the problem to the solution of force equations only through a computer program. This yields the position vector xi of a preselected point G on the rigid body. Although the terminal force f(G) becomes zero at this position, the calculated terminal moment m(G), in general, is not equal to zero. The second step is to try to determine the correct orientation of the rigid body based on an argument that the terminal moment should vanish. The same argument is also used for the solution of force equilibrium equations. These two steps are repeated several times until both f(G) and m(G) vanish simultaneously yielding an equilibrium state (xi,T(theta, n)). Application of the approach is illustrated through various examples. It is observed that, if there are nonstable equilibrium states of the system, then sometimes all possible physical equilibrium states may not be obtained with this approach.

    Shapes and statistics of the rogue waves generated by chaotic ocean current
    (International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers, 2016) Bayındır, Cihan
    In this study we discuss the shapes and statistics of the rogue (freak) waves emerging due to wave-current interactions. With this purpose, we use a simple governing equation which is a nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) extended by R. Smith (1976). This extended NLSE accounts for the effects of current gradient on the nonlinear dynamics of the ocean surface near blocking point. Using a split-step scheme we show that the extended NLSE of Smith is unstable against random chaotic perturbation in the current profile. Therefore the monochromatic wave field with unit amplitude turns into a chaotic sea state with many peaks. By comparing the numerical and analytical results, we show that rogue waves due to perturbations in the current profile are in the form of rational rogue wave solutions of the NLSE. We also discuss the effects of magnitude of the chaotic current profile perturbations on the statistics of the rogue wave generation at the ocean surface. The extension term in Smith's extended NLSE causes phase shifts and it does not change the total energy level of the wave field. Using the methodology adopted in this study, the dynamics of rogue wave occurrence on the ocean surface due to blocking effect of currents can be studied. This enhances the safety of the offshore operations and ocean travel.

    Two reflector non symmetric shaped antenna systems
    (IEEE, 2000) Hasanoğlu, Elman
    Two reflector antenna systems with non symmetric reflecting surfaces under GO approximation are investigated. It is shown, that the problem of forming desired far field pattern leades to solving the system of partial differential equations with respect to mapping functions between wave fronts. One of these equations is non linear and expresses energy conversation law. It is shown that this equation can be solved separetly in the class of non smooth functions which has a discontinuty of first kind along a given curve.

    Shocks in quasi-one-dimensional bubbly cavitating nozzle flows
    (Springer Berlin Heidelberg, 2013-01-01) Delale, Can Fuat; Schnerr, Giinter H.; Pasinlioǧlu, Şenay
    Stationary and propagating shock waves in bubbly cavitating flows through quasi-one-dimensional converging-diverging nozzles are considered by employing a homogeneous bubbly liquid flow model, where the nonlinear dynamics of cavitating bubbles is described by a modified Rayleigh-Plesset equation. The model equations are uncoupled by scale separation leading to two evolution equations, one for the flow speed and the other for the bubble radius. The initial/boundary value problem of the evolution equations is then formulated and a semi-analytical solution is constructed. The solution for the mixture pressure, the mixture density and the void fraction are then explicitly related to the solution of the evolution equations. The steady-state compressible limit of the solution with stationary shocks is obtained and the stability of such shocks are examined. Finally, results obtained using the semi-analytical constructed algorithm for propagating shock waves in bubbly cavitating flows through converging-diverging nozzles, which agree with those of previous numerical investigations, are presented.

    Travelling waves in a prestressed elastic tube filled with a fluid of variable viscosity
    (Springer, 2008) Demiray, Hilmi; Gaik, Tay Kim
    In this work, treating the artery as a prestressed thin elastic tube with variable radius and the blood as all incompressible Newtonian fluid with variable viscosity, the propagation of nonlinear waves ill Such a composite medium is studied, in the long wave approximation, through the use of the reductive perturbation method and the Forced Korteweg-de Vries-Burgers (FKdVB) equation with variable coefficients is obtained as the evolution equation. A progressive wave type of solution is presented for this evolution equation and the result is discussed.
