Hamilton’s Principle for Circuits with Dissipative Elements

Figure 4

Analysis of the oscillator formed from a nonlinear resistor and a linear FDNR with the constitutive relations (18), , , and . The waveforms of current (at the top) and dissipative function of nonlinear resistor (6) and of FDNR, the latter being equal (due to element linearity) to the dissipative cofunction (8). The sum is constant. It is in accordance with the content conservation law [14].
