Governing equations of envelope surface created by nearly bichromatic waves propagating on an elastic plate and their stability

Abstract

Plates are common structural elements of most engineering structures, including aerospace, automotive, and civil engineering structures. The study of plates from theoretical perspective as well as experimental viewpoint is fundamental to understanding of the behavior of such structures. The dynamic characteristics of plates, such as natural vibrations, transient responses for the external forces and so on, are especially of importance in actual environments. In this paper, we consider natural vibrations of an elastic plate and the propagation of a wavepacket on it. We derive the two-dimensional equations that govern the spatial and temporal evolution of the amplitude of a wavepacket and discuss its features. We especially consider wavenumber-based nearly bichromatic waves and direction-based nearly bichromatic waves on an elastic plate. The former waves are defined by the waves that almost concentrate the energy in two wavenumbers, which are very closely approached each other. The latter waves are defined by the waves that almost concentrate the energy in two propagation directions and two propagation directions are very close each other. The fact that the solution of the governing equation for wavenumber-based nearly bichromatic waves is stable is also shown. NomenclatureA = slowly varying amplitude in space and/or time of a wavepacket CI = the function space consisting of functions f (x) which is lth differentiable at any point of x and the lth derivative of f is continuous D = plate flexural rigidity E = elastic modulus G = direction-based spectrum of a wavepacket or Green's function H = value used in boundary conditions L = linear operator defined by Equations (A.19) and (A.20) or value used in boundary conditions Al = positive integer N = positive integer O = function of order Q = function defined by Equation (A.18) or Fourier coefficient R = real space S = function used by the method of separation of variables in Equation (A.3) 88 B.T.

On the quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation created by the vibrations of a square plate on a weakly nonlinear elastic foundation and the stability of the uniform solution

“…In other words, A of equation (18) presents the envelope surface created by nearly monochromatic waves. We derive the governing equation for A using equations (15), (16), (17), and (18). First, the dispersion relation for A is led by substituting equation (18) into equation (15) w2=kw+p2.…”

Quiescent Optical Solitons with Cubic–Quartic and Generalized Cubic–Quartic Nonlinearity

“…The stationary soliton solution assumption was taken into consideration. A version of the model was first proposed in [19] and was later studied by Inui et al [16]. The current work implements enhanced Kudryashov's scheme to recover the stationary solitons directly without conducting the phase portrait analysis.…”
