QUANTUM-CLASSICAL MIXED-MODE ANALYSIS OF NONLINEARLY COUPLED OSCILLATORS - A TIME-DEPENDENT SELF-CONSISTENT-FIELD APPROACH

YURTSEVER, E
BRICKMANN, J
A two-dimensional vibrational system with a strong nonlinear coupling is studied using a quantum-classical mixed mode self-consistent-field approach. The classical equations of motion as well as the time-dependent Schrodinger equation are solved for respective modes under the influence of the average fields generated by the other modes. This vibrational system was previously shown to be chaotic under classical mechanical treatment but quantum mechanical observations pointed out to highly regular behaviour. The results of the mixed mode calculations give periodic trajectories, regular Poincare maps and Lyapunov numbers, k = 0. These observations support the previous findings that during the transition from classical to quantum mechanics, regularity dominates the dynamical behaviour.

Does Quantum Mechanics Select Out Regularity and Local Mode Behaviour in Nonlinearly Coupled Vibrational Systems?
Yurtsever, E.; Brickmann, J. (Wiley, 1990-8)
A two dimensional strongly nonharmonic vibrational system with nonlinear intermode coupling is studied both classically and quantum mechanically. The system was chosen such that there is a low lying transition (in energy) from a region where almost all trajectories move regularly to a region where chaotic dynamics strongly dominates. The corresponding quantum system is far away from the semiclassical limit. The eigenfunctions are calculated with high precision according to a linear variational scheme using ...
Continuous-time nonlinear estimation filters using UKF-aided gaussian sum representations
Gökçe, Murat; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
A nonlinear filtering method is developed for continuous-time nonlinear systems with observations/measurements carried out in discrete-time by means of UKFaided Gaussian sum representations. The time evolution of the probability density function (pdf) of the state variables (or the a priori pdf) is approximated by solving the Fokker-Planck equation numerically using Euler’s method. At every Euler step, the values of the a priori pdf are evaluated at deterministic sample points. These values are used with Ga...
Moving mesh discontinuous Galerkin methods for PDEs with traveling waves
UZUNCA, MURAT; Karasözen, Bülent; Kucukseyhan, T. (2017-01-01)
In this paper, a moving mesh discontinuous Galerkin (dG) method is developed for nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) with traveling wave solutions. The moving mesh strategy for one dimensional PDEs is based on the rezoning approach which decouples the solution of the PDE from the moving mesh equation. We show that the dG moving mesh method is able to resolve sharp wave fronts and wave speeds accurately for the optimal, arc-length and curvature monitor functions. Numerical results reveal the effi...
Performance Evaluation of the Numerical Flux Jacobians in Flow Solution and Aerodynamic Design Optimization
Ezertas, Alper; Eyi, Sinan (2010-07-16)
A direct sparse matrix solver is utilized for the flow solution and the analytical sensitivity analysis. The effects of the accuracy of the numerical Jacobians on the accuracy of sensitivity analysis and on the performance of the Newton's method flow solver are analyzed in detail. The gradient based aerodynamic design optimization is employed to demonstrate those effects.
Nonlinear system identification and nonlinear experimental modal analysis by using response controlled stepped sine testing
Karaağaçlı, Taylan; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2020-12-24)
In this work, two novel nonlinear system identification methods are proposed in both the modal and spatial domains, respectively, based on response-controlled stepped-sine testing (RCT) where the displacement amplitude of the excitation point is kept constant throughout the frequency sweep. The proposed nonlinear modal identification method, which is also a nonlinear experimental modal analysis technique, applies to systems with several nonlinearities at different (and even unknown) locations (e.g. joint no...
