Short Answer

In Problems 15–18, find all critical points for the given system. Then use a software package to sketch the direction field in the phase plane and from this description the stability of the critical points (i.e., compare with Figure 5.12).

dxdt=2x+13y,dydt=-x-2y

This is a stable node point is (0,0).

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Find critical points

Here the system is;

dxdt=2x+13ydydt=-x-2y

For critical points equate the system equal to zero.

2x+13y=0-x-2y=0

Solve for x and y by eliminating the method.

The values of x=0 and y=0.

So, this is the stable node point (0,0).

Step 2: Sketch

This is the required result.

Sticky Friction. An alternative for the damping friction model F = -by′ discussed in Section 4.1 is the “sticky friction” model. For a mass sliding on a surface as depicted in Figure 5.18, the contact friction is more complicated than simply -by′. We observe, for example, that even if the mass is displaced slightly off the equilibrium location y = 0, it may nonetheless remain stationary due to the fact that the spring force -ky is insufficient to break the static friction’s grip. If the maximum force that the friction can exert is denoted by m, then a feasible model is given by

\({{\bf{F}}_{{\bf{friction}}}}{\bf{ = }}\left\{ \begin{array}{l}{\bf{ky,if}}\left| {{\bf{ky}}} \right|{\bf{ < }}\mu {\bf{andy' = 0}}\\\mu {\bf{sign(y),if}}\left| {{\bf{ky}}} \right| \ge {\bf{0andy' = 0}}\\ - \mu {\bf{sign(y'),ify'}} \ne 0.\end{array} \right.\)

(The function sign (s) is +1 when s 7 0, -1 when s 6 0, and 0 when s = 0.) The motion is governed by the equation (16) \({\bf{m}}\frac{{{{\bf{d}}^{\bf{2}}}{\bf{y}}}}{{{\bf{d}}{{\bf{t}}^{\bf{2}}}}}{\bf{ = - ky + }}{{\bf{F}}_{{\bf{friction}}}}\)Thus, if the mass is at rest, friction balances the spring force if \(\left| {\bf{y}} \right|{\bf{ < }}\frac{\mu }{{\bf{k}}}\)but simply opposes it with intensity\(\mu \)if\(\left| {\bf{y}} \right| \ge \frac{\mu }{{\bf{k}}}\). If the mass is moving, friction opposes the velocity with the same intensity\(\mu \).

  1. Taking m =\(\mu \) = k = 1, convert (16) into the firstorder system y′ = v (17)\({\bf{v' = }}\left\{ \begin{array}{l}{\bf{0,if}}\left| {\bf{y}} \right|{\bf{ < 1andv = 0}}{\bf{.}}\\{\bf{ - y + sign(y),if}}\left| {\bf{y}} \right| \ge {\bf{1andv = 0}}\\{\bf{ - y - sign(v),ifv}} \ne 0\end{array} \right.\) ,
  2. Form the phase plane equation for (17) when v ≠ 0 and solve it to derive the solutions\({{\bf{v}}^{\bf{2}}}{\bf{ + (y \pm 1}}{{\bf{)}}^{\bf{2}}}{\bf{ = c}}\).where the plus sign prevails for v>0 and the minus sign for v<0.
  3. Identify the trajectories in the phase plane as two families of concentric semicircles. What is the centre of the semicircles in the upper half-plane? The lower half-plane?
  4. What are the critical points for (17)?
  5. Sketch the trajectory in the phase plane of the mass released from rest at y = 7.5. At what value for y does the mass come to rest?
