The multilayer heterostructure power-law inhomogeneous (MHPI) model is introduced, where the radial change in Young's modulus and density are approximated by multiple sublayers with power-law functionally graded materials (FGMs). The analytical solutions for rotating FG hollow cylinders and annular disks are derived by considering continuity between the layers and six different boundary conditions. Numerical examples are conducted using various classical gradient assumptions, including property profile gradient models (power, linear, and exponential laws, etc.) and the volume fractional gradient model (volume fractional gradient and homogenization schemes). Comparison of the MHPI model with the finite difference method (FDM) and the multilayer heterostructure homogeneous (MHH) model demonstrates its validity. Additionally, the study analyzes the impact of the gradient parameter, rotation effect, and elastic foundation effect on the elastic field of rotating FG hollow cylinders and annular disks. The results show that the MHPI model effectively overcomes the oscillation problem of the circumferential stress calculated by the MHH model, and the accuracy is very high, with an error of about 5‰ in the case of the number of sublayers <em>N</em> = 10. The solution of the problem for different boundary conditions such as stress-free or displacement-fixed can be obtained by adjusting the elastic foundation parameters. In addition, based on the reliable and efficient MHPI model, how the uncertainties in the material parameters <em>E</em> and <em>ρ</em> affect the mechanical response of rotating FG hollow cylinders and annular disks is analyzed, which contributes to a deeper understanding of their mechanical behavior.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50658,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation","volume":"145 ","pages":"Article 108689"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143463313","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the principle of flapping wings of insects, a bionic flapping wing bistable energy harvester (BFBEH) for low-frequency vibration is proposed by using a symmetrical flexible cantilever beam mounted with piezoelectric fibers to simulate the wings of insects, and the lifting and lowering motions of the center unit constructed by a magnetic inductor coil and a levitating magnet to simulate the muscle motions of insects. In consideration of broadening the energy harvesting frequency band, nonlinear magnetic force is introduced to realize bistability. When excited by vibration, the magnetic induction coil and the suspended magnet generate relative motion to realize electromagnetic energy harvesting, while the cantilever beam unit connected to the induction coil frame realizes piezoelectric energy harvesting. In particular, the coupling of a permanent magnet as a mass block at the end of the cantilever beam with a fixed steady state magnet can construct the bistable characteristics of the flapping wing. Theoretical modeling of the bionic energy harvester is established. The focus is on the theoretical modeling of the bistable mechanism and the numerical simulation of its potential energy. The electromagnetic simulation results show that the structure has an effective energy harvesting capability in a low frequency environment. An experimental system is set up to analyze the effects of excitation frequency, limit height, and the number of permanent magnet groups at the end of the flexible cantilever beam on the output performance of the bistable energy harvesting device.

The method demonstrates high computational efficiency, achieving nearly threefold improvement over spectral method commonly used in stability analysis. As gas rarefaction increases, the efficiency gains become more pronounced. However, spurious spectra may emerge when calculating eigenvalues with finite difference methods. Stability analysis of rarefied Couette flow over a flat plate reveals that increasing the finite difference method's order or modifying the spatial grid point distribution can quickly identify spurious modes. Aligning the grid distribution with the actual physical flow also enhances computational accuracy.

As a result, they overlook the benefits of dynamic, time-sensitive strategies. To overcome this limitation, we propose a novel approach using inter-temporal allocations within a non-progressive voter model to optimize the timing and distribution of limited resources for maximizing opinion spread. Our objective is twofold: (i) to provide understanding of patterns of opinion spread in complex networks subject to inter-temporal control, and (ii) to use insights from (i) to develop optimization strategies that balance resource constraints and temporal dynamics. Specifically, our study examines two scenarios: a constant-opponent setting and a game-theoretical framework. In the constant-opponent setting, we find that network heterogeneity significantly influences optimal campaign timing, with late initiation benefiting short time horizons in heterogeneous networks and early starts favoring longer horizons. To further enhance this strategy, we introduce a node-specific optimization strategy that outperforms uniform approaches, especially under resource constraints. In the game-theoretical framework, our results reveal that resource-rich controllers tend to start campaigns early, while resource-limited controllers strategically delay to counter their opponent’s advantage. Through analytical approximations and simulations, we provide insights into the temporal dynamics of influence spread. These findings offer practical guidelines for designing effective influence campaigns in competitive and time-sensitive contexts, with applications in marketing, politics, and public health.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50658,"journal":{"name":"Communications in Nonlinear Science and Numerical Simulation","volume":"144 ","pages":"Article 108670"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143429366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
