Trichotomous Noise Induced Resonance Behavior for a Fractional Oscillator with Random Mass

Abstract: We investigate the stochastic resonance (SR) phenomenon in a fractional oscillator with random mass under the external periodic force. The fluctuations of the mass are modeled as a trichotomous noise. Applying the Shapiro–Loginov formula and the Laplace transform technique, we obtain the exact expression of the first moment of the system. The non-monotonic behaviors of the spectral amplification (SPA) versus the driving frequency indicate that the bona fide SR appears. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the emergence of the generalized stochastic resonance phenomena on the noise flatness and on the noise intensity in the particular case of \(\Omega =\omega _0 ,v\rightarrow 0\) are established. Particularly, the hypersensitive response of the SPA to the noise intensity is found, which is previously reported and believed to be absent in the case of dichotomous noise.

A Numerical Study of Tunnel Fires

Abstract: Abstract-Three theoretical models of plane flames burning on a cooled porous-plug type of flame-holder are reviewed and compared with experimentally observed relationships between stand-off distance, flame speed and temperature. It is shown that for most practical burners their conductance is large and that for near adiabatic conditions, the order of the non-dimensional stand-off distance ceases to be 0(1), but is O(ln θ) where θ is the non-dimensional activation energy.
