Elements of mathematical phenomenology and analogies of electrical and mechanical oscillators of the fractional type with finite number of degrees of freedom of oscillations: linear and nonlinear modes by Katica R. (Stevanović) Hedrih, Gradimir V. Milovanović

“…Following the ideas about analogies, mathematical, qualitative, and structural, introduced by Mihailo Petrović in Elements of Mathematical Phenomenology (Serbian Royal Academy, Belgrade, 1911), in this paper we present our research results focused on analogies of fractional-type oscillation models between mechanical and electrical oscillators, with a finite number of degrees of freedom of oscillation. In addition to reviewing basic results, we investigate new constitutive relations and generalizations of the energy dissipation function, mechanical dissipative element of fractional type, and electrical resistor of dissipative fractional type. …”
