1. Introduction
Nonlinear oscillation systems present a challenging mathematical problem, garnering recent interest from mathematicians, researchers, engineers, and scientists. Exploring the solutions to these equations is crucial for professionals in mathematics, physics, and engineering. The past few decades have seen increased attention given to understanding nonlinear oscillators, particularly in dynamical systems where nonlinear differential equations with unknown solutions are prevalent. Predicting dynamic response behavior and establishing frequency–amplitude connections necessitate employing approximate numerical or analytical approaches. The DO is a nonlinear ordinary differential equation (ODE) that is employed to represent specific oscillations that are both damped and driven. This is an instance of a dynamical system that demonstrates chaotic behavior. In addition, the DO has demonstrated the occurrence of jump resonance phenomena in its frequency response, which can be described as a form of frequency hysteresis behavior. The DO is a basic forced oscillator that is used in a variety of fields, including physics, engineering, electronics, and many others. The dynamics of oscillators are playing a growing, significant part in the study of current nonlinear science. Investigations into Melnikov chaos and the impact of nonlinear dissipation on DO basin borders have been conducted [
1,
2]. Investigations have been made into DO chaotic behavior when subjected to harmonic external inspirations. The required conditions for the system of chaotic motion were found by applying the Melnikov approach. Their findings demonstrated that when damping went over the threshold of Melnikov chaos, the geometry of the basin borders of attraction took on fractal characteristics. Among the most well-known examples of self-excited systems is the Rayleigh oscillator. A dynamic collaboration concerning a cantilever beam with nonlinear dampening and rigidity performance, described by the DO, and a non-ideal motor connected to the end of a shaft was analytically and numerically studied [
3]. By using the combination compartment coordinate structure technique, the comprehensive bifurcations in the DO, such as emergency and basin boundary conversion, were investigated [
4]. The latter study separated the continuous state space into the cell state space with various measurements and proposed a novel vision of a combined cell coordinate structure. Attractors, basins of attractors, basin borders, saddles, and invariant manifolds may all be easily found for a dynamical system, and any area of a state space can be streamlined using this technique [
5]. The outcomes of their theoretical work were shown in numerical phase plots. An algebraic approach was used to investigate the three challenges of the nonlinear ODE in the realm of vibration, known as the Van der Pol, Rayleigh, and DOs challenges [
6]. It was possible to conclude from comparisons of the obtained results, using the algebraic technique and the NS, that the algebraic method may be used to analyze a selection of differential equations, especially challenging ones. The initial integrals of the DO were given a thorough algebraic characterization [
7]. In light of the great importance of the DO in an extensive domain of applications in numerous areas, the existing problem is concerning. The methodology of the current paper aims to treat nonlinearity in an excited DO, incorporating a delayed representation of position and velocity. This additional representation serves as a technique to further dampen nonlinear oscillations.
The research focus on controlling nonlinear oscillations through time-delayed feedback has strengthened in recent decades. Recognizing time delays as a primary source of reduced process performance and system instability, particularly in engineering practices, highlights the ongoing necessity of investigating system stability with time delays. Stability analysis, conducted with minor perturbations near the critical point, has been performed for nonlinear time-delayed structures [
8]. Time-delayed ODEs have been useful in describing the dynamics of various control systems, considering delays that arise from factors like feedback-loop-related actuators, sensors, and field networks. Additionally, various distinct procedures concerning the dynamics of waves have been modeled using time-delay systems [
9,
10]. Fuzzy time-delay system stage settings were represented as complex numbers, and a numerical methodology was utilized to find the solution. Models concerning the interchange of nonnegative quantities between subsystems or compartments were developed [
11]. These models are fundamental in comprehending these processes and are widely used in the biological and physical disciplines. Dissipative theory was employed in a specific way to find the Lyapunov–Krasovskii function [
12]. Delay-dependent and delay-independent analyses were used to categorize the stability study of time-delay practices. A method to recognize nonlinear dynamical structures was suggested [
13,
14]. Nonlinear structures with time delays were added to the light optimization methodology. The suggested approach combines machine learning cross-validation techniques for an automated scheme to remove dependency on initial conditions (ICs) and filter out the noise. The concept of time delay served as additional protection against the nonlinear vibrations of the inspected structure. To decrease the nonlinear vibrations of the considered system, a time-delayed position velocity control is proposed. However, the time delay may disintegrate the implementation of switching systems or worse lead to system instability. Subsequently, this paper examines the DO in the presence of a time delay. While much research has been conducted on time-delayed systems, this study specifically emphasizes their critical significance. Additionally, the modified homotopy perturbation method (HPM) is employed to enhance the precision of the projected solution, providing a more accurate estimation. The main objective of this work is to demonstrate the accuracy of an analytical technique by comparing it with numerical solutions. This comparison allows for a qualitative evaluation of the results
Historically, ODEs and partial differential equations (PDEs) have proven effective in solving diverse scientific problems such as mathematical modeling, hydrodynamics, and theoretical physics. However, accurate solutions are limited for certain concerns. To address this, the NS or a combination with analytical perturbation methods is often employed. Traditional perturbation approaches were typically relying on minor factors, but analytical solutions were preferred. The challenge lies in small parameter requirements in traditional perturbation theory, which represent a significant obstacle for researchers. Chinese mathematician Prof. He introduced the HPM [
15,
16], notable for its simplicity as it did not necessitate the presence of a small parameter. This method has evolved into a robust and promising strategy applicable to various classes of ODEs. The HPM will be explored further, dividing the problem into two parts using the embedded homotopy parameter as a constraining element. The HPM is utilized [
17] to solve various problems with an exact solution or an accurate approximation. It is demonstrated how this approach’s convergence has been slightly improved. To obtain perfect explanations for both linear and nonlinear ODEs, an update of the HPM is provided. The main idea of the procedure relies on consistently guessing an acceptable function, such as a power series. Through the elimination of the initial order, all subsequent orders are determined. Under constrained conditions, the basic equation is changed to a challenging nonlinear ODE. The methodology of MS is used to confirm the possibility of the solution. Once more, in light of the significance of the ODE in a variety of situations in real-world manufacturing, under particular circumstances, the magnetic spherical pendulum’s governing equation of motion can produce a DO [
18,
19]. The goal is to solve this problem analytically using a bounding technique. In reality, the HPM and its development became a method for dealing with various classes of nonlinear dynamics. This method performs the calculations quicker than previous methods, overcomes computational complexities, and uses less computer memory. It is straightforward, strong, efficient, and promising. Because using the HPM provides a lot of benefits, it is employed in analyzing the current problem. The current paper uses the HPM, which has been successfully applied to a wide variety of problems in physics, engineering, and applied mathematics. It provides a powerful and flexible tool for tackling nonlinear ODEs, especially when exact analytical solutions are difficult or impossible to obtain. Additionally, the current paper makes some modifications to this technique. Therefore, this approach overcomes calculation complexity, requires less computer memory, and has a faster calculation time than the previous methods. Accordingly, it is simple, powerful, effective, and promising.
The study of time-delayed controllers to stimulate the DO has possible advantages in engineering, physics, communication theory, and biology, in agreement with the relevance of the aforementioned components. It has been covered in a wide range of articles on many topics. The preceding problem with position and velocity delays is examined in this paper as follows:
where a record of all the symbols in Equation (1) is provided before the introduction section.
It should be noticed, for the sake of straightforwardness, that the governing equation of motion (1) has been formulated in a non-dimensional form.
2. Methodology of the Improved HPM
The HPM can provide a diverse range of estimated solutions, as is clearly identified in our previous paper [
19]. One of these methodologies provides a classical solution with secular evidence which is physically unsatisfactory. A complementary approach uses the expanded frequency to produce an acceptable solution; the generated solutions do not satisfy the numerical one. Accordingly, the HPM necessity subsequently is changed once again. To investigate the effects of the delay factor, which is better for avoiding bifurcations and reducing vibration, we may thus re-scrutinize the elementary homotopy equation by applying an innovative
expansion in place of the straight expansion. Grounded on our existing works, we assume that the approach can be enhanced as previously indicated [
19]. The subsequent are the processes to achieve the desired solution:
The essential homotopy equation provides the base for the HPM concept [
18,
19]. Additionally, in this case, the homotopy equation may be constructed as given by He [
15] by the formula:
As is well known, the standard HPM produces secular terms; unfortunately, we do not have the authority to cancel these terms. The cancelation of these terms yields the zero solution which is known as the trivial solution. Therefore, the adaptation of the HPM is urgent. The coming exponential factor was previously provided [
20].
Relating to the procedure of the beforehand realized inspection, the recognized expected frequency can be augmented as exposed beneath [
19]. Furthermore, the parameter addresses the natural frequency of the problem
. The forthcoming stability inquiry will rely on the enlarged artificial frequency analysis
, as exemplified in Ref. [
21]. Following this methodology, an increased frequency may be expressed as
where
signifies a new nonlinear frequency.
It is reasonable to provide the ICs for the analysis of Equation (1) as:
One must add modification as given in Equation (3) to the homotopy equation in order to produce the required solution. As a consequence, the exact analytical preparation of the zero-order equation is:
Consequently, one realizes
and
The first-order challenge of the homotopy Equation (2) could be generated by:
Equation (6) to (8), along with Equation (9), collectively support
Traditionally, the secular functions must be eliminated to obtain a uniformly valid statement. For this objective, the measurements of the trigonometric functions
and
should be disregarded. Therefore, one finds
and
Solving Equations (11) and (12), one obtains
and
Equations (4), (13) and (14) are taken together up to this point to generate the algebraic equations of the nonlinear frequency:
With regard to the first-order solution, the following ICs are considered:
The fundamental step in the process-constrained solution is defined by
As a consequence, up to the first order, the approximated uniform solution of the basic equation of motion described in Equation (1) might be expressed as:
where the functions
and
are found through Equations (6) and (17), correspondingly.
For greater convenience, after the analytical process of obtaining the approximate solution to the fundamental equation of motion, a numerical methodology becomes essential. As demonstrated, coupling the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) with the nonlinear frequency concept results in what is termed the analytical solution (AS). MS is used to graph both the numerical solution of the original ODE and the numerical solution (NS) of the approximate solution provided in Equation (18). This procedure is carried out using a sample-chosen system as follows:
Ordinarily, the nonlinear frequency values are determined independently of the external excitation force and its frequency. Fortunately, the MS, changing the prior data in the characteristic Equation (15) results in eight alternative real roots. The computations that followed considered the value
. For increasing convenience, the analytical estimated solution may be numerically plotted, which is referred to as NS, by means of MS. Therefore,
Figure 1 shows the comparison between these solutions, which reveals a good agreement between them, especially in the second half of the investigated time interval. The noted decaying forms of the drawn curves increase with time, which reveals that the behaviors of both solutions have steady forms.
It should be noted that the modified HPM introduces the exponential
to indicate the decaying in the perturbed solution. In the absence of this term of the perturbed expansion, with the aid of the concept of expanded frequency [
18], it produces an oscillatory solution. Actually, in this case, the decaying numerical solution becomes very different from the approximate solution.
4. Conclusions
To mitigate nonlinearity in an excited DO, the current approach introduces a time-delayed position and velocity, serving as an additional method to suppress nonlinear oscillations. While time-delayed systems have been widely studied, the focus of this study is particularly significant. The modified HPM is employed to enhance the accuracy of the estimated solution, providing a more precise approximation. The comparison via the numerical solution using MS validates the accuracy of this analytical technique, allowing for a qualitative evaluation of the results. For diverse values of the physical frequency and time-delay factors, the time histories of the solutions are shown. The findings are described concerning the displayed curves. The multiple-scale technique is used to assess the structured nonlinear prototype. It has looked at the impact of different regulatory thresholds on the organization’s vibration effectiveness. The impact of the practical settings on the modulations derived, under these conditions, has been systematically examined. The time-delayed location velocity (linear-nonlinear) response control has been suggested in this study to reduce the system oscillation. The amplitude-phase modulation equations guiding the dynamics of the system at initial resonance have been obtained using the many-scales homotopy technique. The system force and FRC are produced under various parameter settings. The stability diagram and response curves have been used to investigate the effects of the loop delay on the system stability and control performance. The suggested controller’s best vibration suppression effectiveness has been presented. The following are some conclusions drawn from the discussion above:
As the stimulation frequency is equivalent to the normal frequency of the problem under consideration, the system responds with strong vibration amplitudes.
By raising the linear dampening factor at the initial resonance situation, raising the control speed gain can reduce the transverse vibrations.
The position velocity linear control presentation is significantly impacted by the inclusion of time delay in the controller loop.
The suggested controller vibration suppression effectiveness will be maximized by choosing the loop delays in a way that optimizes the linear/nonlinear dampening factors.
As damping controllers, the linear velocity and cubic velocity response controls can reduce system oscillations by changing the system motion characteristics.
When a loop delay is proposed, the cubic velocity response control has the maximum effectiveness in controlling the system’s nonlinear oscillations.
The presence of time delays in the controller loop has a significant impact on how well or poorly the suggested controller works.
As a progress work, similar dynamical systems like the current paper can be analyzed via a novel methodology named the non-perturbative approach. This concept simply converts any nonlinear ODE into a linear one. Therefore, instead of handling the nonlinear equation, one can examine the comparative linear ODE. Furthermore, in view of the novel approach, the coupled system can also be investigated.
