  • Computational formulation for periodic vibration of geometrically nonlinear structures—part 2: Numerical strategy and examples
    International Journal of Solids and Structures, 1997
    Co-Authors: Roman Lewandowski
    Abstract:

    Abstract In this paper the numerical strategy for solving the matrix amplitude equation with parameter is discussed in detail. The matrix amplitude equation is the result of application of the Galerkin method for analysis of periodic solutions of the geometrically nonlinear structures. A theoretical background of the proposed method of analysis is given in a companion paper by Lewandowski [Lewandowski, R. (1996). Computational formulation for periodic vibration of geometrically nonlinear structures—Part 1: theoretical background. International Journal of Solids and Structures34(15), 1925–1947]. An example application of general theory is also presented. Numerical results are given and discussed to show some interesting behaviors of nonlinear structures and to illustrate the numerical efficiency and validity of the suggested method.

  • Computational formulation for periodic vibration of geometrically nonlinear structures—part 1: Theoretical background
    International Journal of Solids and Structures, 1997
    Co-Authors: Roman Lewandowski
    Abstract:

    Abstract A general computational formulation for geometrically nonlinear structures excited by harmonic forces and executing periodic motion in a steady-state is presented. The equations of both continuous and discretized models are reformulated to obtain the motion equation in a more suitable form to a further analysis. The multi-harmonic solution of motion equation is written in a form of truncated Fourier series. Next, the Galerkin, Ritz and the harmonic balance method are discussed in a context of their equivalency in derivation of the matrix amplitude equation. The matrix amplitude equation as well as the associated tangent matrix are given in an explicit form. The stability of steady-state solution is discussed by using the Floquet theory. The numerical algorithm and an example application are described in a companion paper by Lewandowski [Lewandowski, R. Computational formulation for periodic vibration of geometrically nonlinear structures—Part 2: Numerical strategy and numerical examples. International Journal of Solids and Structures . (in preparation)].

  • New diffeomorphism invariant states on a holonomy-flux algebra
    Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2010
    Co-Authors: Michal Dziendzikowski, Andrzej Okolow
    Abstract:

    The theorem by Lewandowski et al stating uniqueness of a diffeomorphism invariant state on an algebra of quantum observables for background-independent theories of connections is based on some technical assumptions imposed on the algebra and the diffeomorphisms. In this paper we present a class of diffeomorphism invariant states on an algebra of this sort, which exist when the algebra and the diffeomorphisms satisfy alternative assumptions.
