Additionally, a novel approach termed Similitudes based on Virtual Mode and Statistical Energy (SVMSE) is put forward to anticipate the shock response of AFS panels, incorporating similarity criteria for more accurate re-modulation. The numerical findings indicate that impact scenarios across various structures exhibit dynamic similarity, demonstrating identical vibration responses regardless of variations in size, impact duration, and amplitude. The results of the impact test on AFS panels indicate that the acceleration response and shock response spectrum (SRS) can be effectively scaled to extrapolate the behavior of the prototype, even in the presence of incomplete similarity.

The system is based on a conventional bistable nonlinear energy sink (NES), with nonlinear damping introduced to enhance the vibration absorption efficiency and reduce the threshold for a strongly modulated response (SMR). Initially, the slow invariant manifold (SIM) of the system is derived using complexification-averaging and multiple scales methods. The characteristics of saddle-node (SN) bifurcation and Hopf bifurcation at the periodic fixed point are then analyzed, identifying the ranges of stiffness, damping, and other parameters that influence the SMR. Subsequently, the SIM is examined in detail across different timescales, and the amplitude thresholds of external excitation that trigger SMR are derived. Finally, the system's maximum amplitude is optimized to reduce it while ensuring the generation of SMR. A numerical analysis of the energy spectrum near the resonance frequency is also conducted to compare the vibration suppression efficiency between the conventional NES and the bistable NES with nonlinear damping. The results demonstrate that the bistable NES with nonlinear damping effectively lowers the external excitation threshold for SMR, offering a wider threshold range and higher vibration suppression efficiency.

Using modal and non-modal stability analyses, the results reveal that boundary conditions—no-slip, symmetric slip, and asymmetric slip—strongly influence flow stability, eigenvalue spectra, and velocity profiles. With increasing slip length, symmetric slip enhances stability by raising the critical Reynolds number, while asymmetric slip introduces complex stability dynamics, particularly at higher viscosity ratios. Non-modal analysis highlights transient energy growth, pseudospectrum, and contour plots, especially under asymmetric slip, suggesting that disturbances could cause significant short-term deviations even in stable regimes.

By using similarity transformations, the governing partial differential equations for momentum, energy, nanoparticle concentration, and microbe density are transformed into ordinary differential equations and numerically solved using the legendary spectral collocation method in Mathematica and demonstrate its efficiency and accuracy in modeling complex flow behaviors. The findings demonstrate that while nonlinear density effects are essential for enhancing nanoparticle dispersion and bioconvection patterns, nonlinear thermal radiation greatly improves heat transfer and fluid velocity. Numerous flow parameters' effects on the flow profiles are investigated, including the parameter of Brownian motion, the Rayleigh number for bioconvection, and the density parameters of nonlinear motile microorganisms. The outcomes show that the influence of nonlinear parameters increases heat and mass efficiency transmission in the system by reducing temperature and concentration gradients.

The geometric model of an arbitrarily shaped plate is constructed by creating cutouts within a minimum rectangular domain covering the plate, in which a discrete energy system is established to simulate the plate based on the global admissible function, extended interval integral, Gauss quadrature, energy elements, and global variable stiffness. The energy element is defined to simulate strain energy of a rectangular subregion within the minimum rectangular domain, which contains a distinct number of Gauss points and allows geometric boundaries to pass through. Energy elements are generated by taking both the plate geometry and the distribution characteristic of Gauss points into consideration, resulting in a significant reduction of the required number of Gauss points than the Discrete Ritz method. By assigning variable stiffness properties on Gauss points, geometric boundaries of arbitrarily shaped plates can be captured in the numerical integration process. After removing the energy characterized by zero stiffness Gauss points out of the plate domain, the Gauss points based discrete model is constructed and the arbitrarily shaped plate can be simulated using discrete energy.
