Summary
Weak dissipation in nonlinear oscillator chains prevents large-amplitude resonance. Instead, it causes localized large-amplitude oscillations near the excitation point and energy escape for distant oscillators.
Area of Science:
- Nonlinear dynamics
- Condensed matter physics
- Mechanical vibrations
Background:
- Coupled nonlinear oscillators exhibit complex dynamics, including resonance phenomena.
- Weak dissipation can significantly alter the behavior of strongly nonlinear systems.
- Understanding energy localization is crucial for designing robust mechanical systems.
Purpose of the Study:
- Investigate resonance and resonance-induced localization in a dissipative nonlinear oscillator chain.
- Analyze the role of weak dissipation in controlling large-amplitude resonance.
- Determine conditions for energy localization and its distribution within the chain.
Main Methods:
- Analytical derivation of conditions for resonance and energy localization.
- Numerical simulations of the weakly dissipative nonlinear oscillator chain.
- Study of 1:1 (fundamental) resonance under harmonic excitation.
Main Results:
- Weak dissipation prevents large-amplitude resonance in strongly nonlinear chains.
- Resonance-induced localization leads to large-amplitude oscillations near the actuator.
- Distant oscillators escape resonance, with energy equipartition among them.
- Maximal energy concentration occurs on the excited oscillator.
Conclusions:
- Weak dissipation is a critical factor in controlling resonance and energy flow in nonlinear chains.
- Resonance-induced localization offers a mechanism for targeted energy dissipation.
- Analytical and numerical results demonstrate good agreement, validating the findings.

Weak Base Solutions

Some compounds produce hydroxide ions when dissolved by chemically reacting with water molecules. In all cases, these compounds react only partially and so are classified as weak bases. These types of compounds are also abundant in nature and important commodities in various technologies. For example, global production of the weak base ammonia is typically well over 100 metric tons annually, being widely used as an agricultural fertilizer, a raw material for chemical synthesis of other...

Weak Acid Solutions

Few compounds act as strong acids. A far greater number of compounds behave as weak acids and only partially react with water, leaving a large majority of dissolved molecules in their original form and generating a relatively small amount of hydronium ions. Weak acids are commonly encountered in nature, being the substances partly responsible for the tangy taste of citrus fruits, the stinging sensation of insect bites, and the unpleasant smells associated with body odor. A familiar example of a...

Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics: Causes of Nonlinearity

Nonlinearity in drug pharmacokinetics is caused by various factors influencing how a drug is absorbed, distributed, metabolized, and excreted. Understanding these nonlinear processes is crucial for predicting drug behavior in the body and optimizing drug dosing regimens.
Nonlinear drug absorption can occur when the process is rate-limited by solubility, carrier-mediated transport systems, or saturation of the presystemic gut wall or hepatic metabolism. For instance, high doses of riboflavin...

Electron Transport Chains

The final stage of cellular respiration is oxidative phosphorylation that consists of two steps: the electron transport chain and chemiosmosis. The electron transport chain is a set of proteins found in the inner mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotic cells. Its primary function is to establish a proton gradient that can be used during chemiosmosis to produce ATP and generate electron carriers, such as NAD+ and FAD, that are used in glycolysis and the citric acid cycle.

Titration of a Weak Acid with a Weak Base
4.9K
Weak acids and bases do not undergo dissociation completely, and titrations between these two are rarely studied. When such studies are performed, say, for the titration of a weak acid with a weak base, the titration curve plots the change in pH as a function of the volume of base added. Take the titration of acetic acid with ammonia, for instance. During the titration, these two species form ammonium acetate and water, but the pH change is slow and gradual.
