International Journal of Mechanics and Applications 3, 3(: 35-43 DOI:.593/j.mechanics.33. Duffing Oscillator with Heptic Nonlinearity under Single Periodic Forcing M. O. Oyesanya *, J. I. Nwamba Department of Mathematics, University of Nigeria, Nsukka 4, Nigeria Abstract In this paper, the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM is used to obtain an accurate analytical two-term approximate solution to the positively damped cubic-quintic-heptic Duffing equation with algebraically decaying amplitude as well as a single periodic forcing. This paper also presents the interesting behavior of the non-zero au xiliary parameter which provides a convenient way to adjust and control the convergence of the approximations. Our analysis shows that neither the strength of the damping nor that of the forcing exerts any influence on the auxiliary parameter of the nonlinearity. We observe also that the degree of damping is elicited by the degree of nonlinearity and the initial guesses of the time constants Keywords Homotopy Analysis, Duffing Oscillator, Heptic Nonlinearity, Periodic Forcing, Damping. Introduction The Duffing equations have been presented in the literature considering various types of nonlinearity. Pirbodaghi et al[] have worked on the Duffing equations with cubic and quintic nonlinearities. Some authors[], [3],[4],[5][6 ],[7] and[8] have investigated many kinds of nonlinear oscillatory systems in physics, mechanics and engineering. Duffing equations with cubic and quintic nonlinearities have not been extensively studied as the one with cubic nonlinearity because of its complexity[9,,, ]. The cubic nonlinear Duffing oscillator had been studied extensively and has been used as model for seismic analysis[3] and for earthquake prediction[5]. Recently the cubic-quintic nonlinearity in Duffing oscillator has been engaging attention[4, 6, 5] and very interesting features have been detected which were non-existent in the cubic nonlinear model. Interesting results have been obtained from the geometric and analytic studies of the un-damped and unforced cubic-quintic Duffing equation using different methods[, 6, 7]. It has been observed that the cubic-quintic nonlinearity gives vent to damping in a morepronounced way than the cubic nonlinearity. We therefore in this paper investigate the influence of higher nonlinearity particularly heptic nonlinearity on the damping of Duffing oscillator. The nth-order Duffing equation with viscous damping and periodic forcing can be generally expressed as * Corresponding author: moyesanya@yahoo.com (M. O.

Where δ is the damping coefficient, and an, Fm, X m are arbitrary constants, NM<, In this paper the homotopy analysis method[8, 9,]which has been effectively applied to a wide variety of problems in applied mathematics, physics and engineering is applied to the positively damped cubic-quintic-heptic Duffing equation with a single sinusoidal forcing governed by ut ( = f[ ut (, ut (, F], t (. and subject to the initial conditions u( = a, u ( = b (. The cubic-quintic-heptic Duffing equation can be used to model a classical particle in a double-well potential. It was used in[] to model the dynamic behavior of a cargo system under crossover indirect tie-down. As was noted in[], the homotopy analysis method which was proposed by introducing an auxiliary parameter gg to construct a new kind of homotopy in a more general form has the following advantages:. It is valid even if a given nonlinear problem does not contain any small/large parameters at all.. It equips us with a convenient way to adjust and control convergence regions of series of analytic approximations. 3. It can be efficiently employed in approximating a nonlinear problem by choosing different sets of base functions. We investigate here factors that influence the non-zero auxiliary parameter g.

36 M. O. Oyesanya et al.: Duffing Oscillator with Heptic Nonlinearity under Single Periodic Forcing Free oscillations of a positively damped system have two different time scales. One is related to the frequency of oscillationandthe other to the decaying amplitude of oscillation. It is clear that the free oscillat ion of positively damped systems can be expressed by the set of base functions m m ζt + sin nωt, + ζt cos nωt m, n (.3 {( ( ( ( } where the two unknown time-constants ωωωωωωωωωω relate to the two time scales τ = ωt, τ = ζt (.4 respectively. Having noted this, it will be reasonable to say that the set of base functions given by (.3 can as well be used to express the forced oscillation of a positively damped system as long as the forcing is a function of one of the two time scales. In this regard, we suggest a periodicforcing with amp litude ωω and given by Fcosω t (.5 Under the transformation (.4 one has uu(tt = uu(ττ,ττ, and the original governing equation (. becomes u u u ω + ωζ + ζ = f ωu u, F τ + ζ ( τ τ (.6 τ τ τ τ subject to the initial conditions when ( ( τ, τ u( τ, τ u u τ τ a ω ζ b, =, + =, τ τ τ = = (.7 τ. Basic Ideas A real function can be efficiently represented by a better set of base functions. Hence, the need to approximate a given nonlinear problem by a proper set of base functions equips us with the initiative to apply the homotopy analysis method. Clearly, according to (.3 and the definition (.4, the considered problem can be represented by (.3 such that m u( τ, τ = ( + ζt ηmn, sin nωt+ ϑmn, cos nωt (. m= n= Where ηmn,, ϑmn, arecoefficients. This provides us with a rule, called the Rule of Solution Expression[5]. As was noted in[], HAM is based on continuous variations from the initial guesses to the exact solution of a considered problem. For the problem under consideration, one constructs the continuous mapping ( τ, τ ( τ, τ,, ω Ω(, ζ Λ( in such a way that U(,, q, ( q, ( q u U q q q τ τ Ω Λ vary fro m their initial guesses uu (ττ,ττ, ωω, ζζ to their exact solutions uu(ττ, ττ, ωω, ζζ respectively as qq ( the embedding parameter increases from to. In line with the above reasons one constructs a family in q of nonlinear differential equations with initial conditions ( ( ( { τ τ τ τ } ( τ τ q L U,, q L u, = gpn U,, q (. ( q U τ, τ, = ϕτ, = τ = (. u u ω + ζ = ψ, τ = τ = τ τ (.3 And where uu (ττ, ττ is an in itial guess of uu(ττ,ττ, NN is a nonlinear operator defined by NN[ (ττ, ττ, qq] = Ω (qq uu + Ω(qqΛ(qq uu + Λ (qq uu ff Ω(qq + Λ(qq, uu, FF(ττ ττ ττ ττ ττ ττ ττ (.4 LLLLLLLL LL are two auxiliary linear operators defined by LL[ (ττ,ττ, qq] = Ω + ΩΛ( + ττ ττ + Λ ( + ττ ττ ττ + λλ ττ Ω + Λ( + ττ ττ + λλ ττ (.5 and LL [uu (ττ, ττ ] = ω uu + ω ττ ζ ( + ττ uu + ζ ττ ττ ( + ττ uu uu + λλ ττ ω + ζ ττ ( + ττ uu + λλ ττ uu (.6 in wh ich ω and ζ are initial guesses of the time-constants ωωωωωωωωωω respectively, and λλ,λλ are two constants to be determined later in terms of ζ and ω respectively. The auxiliary non-zero parameter gg equips us with a convenient way to adjust and control the convergence of approximations such that a properly chosen gg guarantees the convergence of the resulting series to be given later at qq =. Under the Rule of Solution Expression[], one chooses uu (ττ, ττ = aa cos ττ + (aa cos ττ + bb sinττ ( + ττ (.7 as the initial guess of uu(ττ, ττ, where aa, aa aaaaaabb are unknown constants to be determined later. When qq =, Eq. (. has the solution (.7 with

Thus, (ττ,ττ, = uu(ττ, ττ (.9 Therefore as qq increases from to, truly varies fro m the initial t rial uu to the exact solution uu of the original equations (.6 and (.7; so do Ω and Λ vary from the initial guesses to the time-constants ωωωωωωωωωω respectively. Equations (.-(.3 are the zeroth-order deformation equations. With the nature of (.8, Ω(qq, (ττ, ττ, qqaaaaaaλ(qq can be expanded in power series of qq by Taylor s theorem as: where, ωω [kk] Ω(qq = ωω + + kk = qq kk (.

Conclusions In this paper, the homotopy analysis method (HAM was used to obtain analytic and uniformly-valid approximate solutions to the damped and driven, free oscillating, as well as the un-damped and un-driven Duffing oscillator equations with different nonlinearities.it was observed as noted in[6] that the degree of damping is elicited by the degree of nonlinearity as can be seen in Figures -4. Hence one can use increased nonlinearity to reduce the effect of external forcing as well as negative damping. We also observed that apart from the strength of the nonlinearity of a given problem, the initial guesses ωω aaaaaa ζζ, chosen for any given problem aids in determining a suitable auxiliary non-zero parameter such that, givengg cc < gg gg dd, where gg cc > and gg dd. It is also observed that every chosen g satisfying

International Journal of Mechanics and Applications 3, 3(: 35-43 43 gg dd > gg gg cc gives a good approximation while every chosen g satisfying gg dd gg > gg cc does not give a good approximation. There is need to consider and investigate the degree of nonlinearity that can reduce the effect of external forcing for Duffing oscillator with multiple forcing functions and investigate the influence and the range of validity of the auxiliary parameter. Stability analysis also should engage attention in subsequent work. Highlights. Neither the strength of the damping nor that of the forcing exerts any influence on the auxiliary parameter of the nonlinearity.. Factors that affect the nonzero auxiliary parameter (which controls the convergence of the approximate solutions obtained in HAM are shown and discussed. 3.
