Reconstruction Harmonic Balance Method and its Application in Solving Complex Nonlinear Dynamical Systems
share
The harmonic balance method is the most commonly used method for solving periodic solutions of nonlinear dynamic systems, but the high-order approximation of nonlinear terms requires sophisticated formula derivation, which limits its ultra-high accuracy. The authors' team proposed the reconstruction harmonic balance (RHB) method through the equivalent reconstruction of the frequency domain nonlinear quantity in the time domain, which settled the problem of ultra-high-order calculation of the classical harmonic balance method. However, both methods require the dynamical system to be polynomial nonlinear, and cannot be directly used to solve the quasi-periodic solution of the nonlinear system. In view of the above problems, this paper proposes a computational method that combines the RHB method and the recast technique for complex nonlinear systems. First, the general nonlinear problem is non-destructively recast into a polynomial nonlinear system, and then the RHB method is used for high-precision solutions. Aiming at computing the quasi-periodic response, the RHB method based on the idea of "supplemental frequency" is derived. By optimizing and selecting base frequencies, the fast and accurate capture of quasi-periodic response is achieved. The typical systems such as nonlinear pendulum, relativistic harmonic oscillator, and nonlinear coupling asymmetric pendulum are selected for simulation. The simulation results show that the accuracy of the RHB-recast method for solving nonpolynomial nonlinear systems is on the order of 10^(-12), reaching the computer accuracy, far exceeding state-of-the-art methods. The supplemental frequency RHB method achieves the efficient solution of quasi-periodic problems.
