Bibliographic informatioa published by Die Deutscbe Bibliothek Die Deutsche Bibliothek lists this publication in the Deutsche Nationalbibliografie; detailed bibliographic data is available in the Internet at 0 the above problem is a well-posed problem and admits a unique solution. However, if E = 0, (2.3.1) reduces to

4z* - Al = 0

(2.3.6)

which is parabolic (diffusion equation). The solution of (2.3.6) cannot in general satisfy all the boundary conditions (2.3.2) through (2.3.5) and one of them must be dropped. As discussed in Section 4.1.2, (2.3.5) must be dropped, and thus the resulting solution is not valid near y = 1. For small E the solution of the reduced equation is expected to be close to the exact solution except in a narrow region near y = 1 where the latter changes rapidly so that it satisfies the boundary condition which is about to be lost. It should be noted that the singular nature of the problem depends not only on the change in type of equation but also on the given region in which the solution is obtained. Although the solution of (2.3.1) in the region 0 5 5, y I 1 does not tend to that of (2.3.6) uniformly, the solution of (2.3.1) tends uniformly to the solution of (2.3.6) in the upper half-plane. Next we discuss an example in which the change in type of equation does not lead to nonuniformities.

LONG WAVES O N LlQUlDS FLOWlNG DOWN INCLINED PLANES In this section we consider the characteristics of waves on the surface of a liquid film flowing down an inclined plane (Figure 2-6). This is a rather involved example, and it is discussed here because it illustrates a general technique for long nonlinear dispersive waves. The flow is governed by the 2.3.2.

Let us summarize what we have accomplished in this section. We started with the elliptic equation (2.3.16) which was replaced by (2.3.23) and (2.3.27) which are clearly not elliptic. From these perturbation equations we arrived at (2.3.37) which is clearly hyperbolic. Thus nonuniformities due to the type change of equation did not arise because of the unboundedness of the domain. 2.4.

The Presence of Singularities

In this class the expansions have singularities within the region of interest, which are not part of the exact solution. Moreover, in the higher-order terms, the singularities are not only preserved, but they become even more pronounced. 2.4.1. SHIFT IN SINGULARITY As a first example in this class, we consider the problem discussed by Lighthill (1949a)

THE PRESENCE OF SINGULARITIES

43

This equation is singular along the h e x = -EY; the boundary condition makes the exact solution ~(z) positive for x 2 0, hence y(x) is regular in O<X c;' both break down near r = cz'. An expansion valid near this singularity is determined in Section 4.1.6 by using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. 2.4.4. TURNING POINT PROBLEMS As a last example, we consider the asymptotic expansions of the solutions

for large A. For Izi < 1, the solutions of this equation are oscillatory, while for Is1 > 1 they behave as exponentials. This suggests an expansion of the form = eA4(s;A) (2.4.44) where d = d o ( 4 A-1+1(4 * . (2.4.45)

for 1x1 > 1 (2.4.51) where ai and bi are constants. The expansions (2.4.50) and (2.4.51) are called the Liouville-Green or WKB approximation (Section 7.1.3). These expansions are singular at z = k l , hence they are not uniformly valid. The points z = & l are called turning points. The nonuniformity in this example arose because of the representation of the solutions in terms of elementary functions (namely, exponential and circular functions). The expansions show that the behavior of the solution changes across 1x1 = 1 from oscillatory to exponential, hence we need to represent the solutions by functions that exhibit this qualitative behavior. In this case the appropriate functions are the Airy functions (Section 7.3.1). 2.5. The Role of Coordinate Systems

In obtaining a parameter perturbation for a quantity such as u ( z ; E), we first choose an independent variable which need not be the physical independent variable z but a function 5 of z and the small parameter E. Then we assume

2 dm(~)um[5(z; 4,

u =

E)]

m=O

as

E -+ 0

(2.5.1)

where is an asymptotic sequence. We substitute this expansion into the governing equations, expand for small E keeping now 5 fixed, and then equate the coefficient of each 6, to zero. Thus

(2.5.2)

It is clear that, for a given sequence d,, u, depends on the choice of ((s;6). , Some of these choices 5 lead to nonuniform expansions, whereas others lead to uniform expansions. For example, choosing 5 = f in (2.1.1), we obtain the nonuniform expansion u ( t ; E) = a cost

which is uniformly valid. Coordinates such as 5 = [l (3/8)€u2]t, which lead to uniform expansions, are called optimal coordinates (Kaplun, 1954). As a second example, we consider the model for the weak nonlinear instability problem of Section 2.1.2. Equation (2.1.18) gives the following expansion u = E cos u,t cos kx

~ t sin [ a,t cos ~ kx terms bounded as t -+ co (2.5.5) 320, This nonuniform expansion corresponds to the choice 5 = t. Had we chosen 5 = o,[l - (9/32012)]t,we would have obtained E

u = E cos 5 cos k x

+ O(e3)

(2.5.6)

which is uniformly valid for all 1. Hence this latter 5 is an optimal coordinate. As a third example, we consider supersonic flow past a thin airfoil (Section 2.1.3). Equation (2.1.36) gives the following expansion for the axial velocity component

is optimal for O(c2) for (2.1.1). Since most straightforward perturbation expansions (obtained by holding the physical coordinates fixed) are nonuniform, perturbation techniques have been devised to render these expansions uniformly valid. In the method of strained coordinates (Chapter 3), some of these expansions are rendered uniformly valid by determination of the optimal coordinates as near-identity transformations. In some of the problems considered, such as (2.2.1) and (2.2.2), a uniformly valid expansion was given by (2.2.1 1) as y = b exp (1 - x)

+ ( a - be) exp (x - 1) - + O(r)

(2.5.12)

+ O(e)

(2.5.13)

This expansion could not be obtained by keeping x fixed or by keeping x / e fixed. Had we kept x fixed, we would have obtained y = b exp (1 - x)

= a # be in general. However, which is not valid near x = 0 because ~(0) had we kept x/c fixed, we would have obtained

y = be

+ ( a - be) exp (-

3

(2.5-14)

which is not uniformly valid because y(1) = b # be. Thus the solution is represented by two different expansions using the coordinates (scales) x and x / e . Since they are different asymptotic representations of the same function, they can be related to each other by what is called the matching principle (Chapter 4). This suggests that uniformly valid expansions can be obtained by determining different expansions using different scales, relating these expansions by matching, and then combining the expansions. This is the method of matched asymptotic expansions described in Chapter 4. Rather than obtaining, say, two expansions using two different scales to represent the asymptotic solutions of (2.2.1), we keep both x and x / e or some functions of them fixed in carrying out the expansions. This means that we increase the number of independent variables to two and transform our original ordinary differential equation into a partial differential equation. This is the method of multiple scales described in Chapter 6. In oscillation problems such as ii

+ u = Ef(u, li)

the unperturbed solution (i.e.,

E

u=acos+,

where Q and 0 are constants. If E # 0 the solution can still be expressed in the above form provided that a and 0 are taken to be time-dependent. The method of variation of parameters (Section 5.1.1) can be used to find the following equations for (I and

To determine a uniformly valid expansion of the solution of these equations, we can introduce near-identity transformations for both dependent variables a and rather than a near-identity transformation for the independent variable as in the method of strained coordinates. This is the method of averaging described in Chapter 5.

ii

+ (6 + c cos 2t)u = 0

(3.1.17)

which has been studied extensively. This equation is a special case of Hill's equation which is a linear differential equation with periodic coefficients. Equations similar to this appear in many problems in applied mathematics such as stability of a transverse column subjected to a periodic longitudinal load, stability of periodic solutions of nonlinear conservative systems, electromagnetic wave propagation in a medium with periodic structure, the lunar motion, and the excitation of certain electrical systems. The qualitative nature of the solutions of (3.1.17) can be described by using Floquet theory (see, e.g., Coddington and Levinson, 1955, Chapter 3). This equation has normal solutions of the form (3. I. 18) where 4 is a periodic function o f t having a period 7r or 27r, and y may be real or complex depending on the values of the parameters 6 and E . Floquet theory shows that the transition curves, in the d-e plane, separating stable from unstable solutions, correspond to periodic solutions of (3.1.17). Some of these curves are determined below by - both 6 and II as functions - expanding of E . Thus we let 6 = n2 cd, + e2d2 + * (3.1 .19) u = eY'+(t)

Equations (3.1.63) through (3.1.65) describe the linearized motion of a particle near the triangular points in the restricted problem of three bodies. Here e is the eccentricity of the orbit of the two primaries and p is the ratio of the smaller primary to the sum of the two primaries. If e = 0, it is known that the motion is stable if 0 p < ji m 0.03852 and unstable for p 2 p. Therefore F is the intersection of a transition curve (from stable to unstable motion) with the y axis in the e-y plane. Also, it is known from Floquet theory that periodic solutions with periods 277 and 47r correspond to transition curves. In the interval 0 y < p, the period 2a corresponds to y = 0, while 47r corresponds to po = (1 - 2&/3)/2; y = 0 corresponds to a transition curve that coincides with the e axis. In the following discussion we present an analysis following Nayfeh and Kame1 (1970a) for the determination of the transition curves that intersect the y axis at yo. We assume that

The technique used in this section was formalized by Stoker (1957) for the treatment of surface waves in liquids. This technique was used to treat the interaction of capillary and gravity waves in deep and finite-depth water by Pierson and Fife (1961) and Barakat and Houston (1968), respectively. It was also used by Maslowe and Kelly (1970) to treat waves in KelvinHelmholtz flow. Instead of expanding the phase speed, we could have expanded the wavenumber to determine the wave number shift or the frequency to determine the frequency shift. Variations of this technique were applied to a variety of problems. For example, Malkus and Veronis (1958) treated the Binard convection problem. Pedlowsky (1967) determined the response of a bounded ocean to a surface wind oscillating near one of the Rossby wave frequencies. Keller and Ting (1966) and Millman and Keller (1969) obtained periodic solutions for various systems governed by nonlinear partial differential equations, while Keller and Millman (1969) treated nonlinear electromagnetic and acoustic wave propagation. Rajappa (1970) investigated nonlinear Rayleigh-Taylor instability. 3.2. Lighthill’s Technique The essence of Lighthill’s technique is t o expand not only the dependent variable u(z,, zl, . . , xn; c) in powers of the small parameter E, but also to expand one of the independent variables, say zl,in powers of E . Lighthill (1949a, 1961) introduced a new independent variable and then expanded both u and x1 in powers of E with coefficients depending on s. To a first approximation he assumed that x1 and s are identical. Thus Lighthill assumed

.

the following expansions for u and xI m

u = 2 (Emum(& 22,5 3 , . . . , xn) m=O

. . , xn)

(3.2.1) (3.2.2)

It is clear that the straightforward expansion (Poincark type) consists of (3.2.1) alone with s replaced by zl.Since this straightforward expansion is not uniformly valid, Lighthill introduced (3.2.2) and chose Em (called straining functions) so as to make both of the above expansions uniformly valid; that is, he chose 5, so that the resulting approximation is uniformly valid. In some cases this is accomplished by requiring that and Urn-1

be bounded

(3.2.3)

tm-1

In other words, higher approximations shall be no more singular than the Jirst. Comparing (3.2.1) and (3.2.2) with (3.1.2)and (3.1.4), we see that Lighthill’s technique is an extension of the method of strained parameters. This technique was modified by Kuo (1953, 1956) to apply to viscous flows. For this reason Tsien (1956) called it the PLK method, that is, the Poincarb Lighthill-Kuo method. This method was applied to a variety of problems, especially wave propagation in nondispersive media. Lighthill (1949b) treated conical shock waves in steady supersonic flow. Whitham (1952) determined the pattern of shock waves on an axisymmetric projectile in steady supersonic flow and treated the propagation of spherical shocks in stars (1953). Legras (1951, 1953) and Lee and Sheppard (1966) applied it to steady supersonic flow past a thin airfoil, while Rao (1956) applied it to sonic booms. Holt and Schwartz (1963), Sakurai (1965), Holt (1967), and Akinsete and Lee (1969) investigated nonsimilar effects in the collapsing of an empty spherical cavity, while Jahsman (1968) treated the collapse of a gas-filled spherical cavity. Sirignano and Crocco (1964) analyzed combustion instability which is driven by chemical kinetics. Savage and Hasegawa (1967) studied the attenuation of pulses in metals, while Sakurai (1968) discussed the effect of plasma impedance in the problem of inverse pinch. Einaudi (1969, 1970) applied it to the propagation of acoustic gravity waves. Lewak (1969) and Zawadzki and Lewak (1971) solved Vlasov’s equation. Espedal (1971) used a combination of this technique and the method of matched asymptotic expansions to determine the effect of ion-ion collision on an ion-acoustic plasma pulse. Asano and Taniuti (1969, 1970) and Asano (1970) extended this technique to nondispersive wave propagation in slightly inhomogeneous media.

3.2.

LIGHTHILL'S TECHNIQUE

79

Melnik (1965) applied it to the entropy layer in the vicinity of a conical symmetry plane. Mclntyre (1966) treated optimal control with discontinuous forcing functions. Ross (1970) applied it to diffusion-coupled biochemical reaction kinetics. Barua (1954) analyzed secondary flows due to rotation in an unheated tube, Morton (1959) treated laminar convection in a heated tube, and Morris (1965) investigated the case of laminar convection in a vertical tube. Chang, Akins, and Bankoff (1966) analyzed the free convection of a liquid metal from a uniformly heated plate. Crane (1959) rendered an asymptotic expansion for boundary layers uniformly valid. Goldburg and Cheng (1961) discussed the anomaly arising from the application of this technique and parabolic coordinates to the trailing edge boundary layer. Ockendon (1966) investigated the separation points in the Newtonian theory of hypersonic flow. Since Lighthill's technique is a generalization of the method of strained parameters, the first technique gives results identical to those obtained using the latter technique whenever it is applicable. Therefore the examples discussed next are problems that cannot be treated by the method of strained parameters. 3.2.1. A FlRST-ORDER DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION The first example treated by Lighthill is the first-order differential equation (3.2.4) where y(z) and Y(.c) are regular functions for all 5 of interest. Wasow (1955) determined the necessary conditions for the convergence of Lighthill's expansion for this problem; the proof had an error which was corrected by Lighthill. Usher (1971) investigated the necessary conditions for the applicability of this technique to equations of the form y'

Comstock ( 1 968) showed that Lighthill's technique may lead to an erroneous expansion (see Exercise 3.28) for ( 2 " + 6y)y' + nx"-ly = rnz'"-l , Y(1) = a > 1

while Burnside ( 1 970) investigated the uniformity of the expansion obtained by straining z = x n rather than 2. It is clear that the region of nonuniformity is in the neighborhood of x = 0. For E = 0, (3.2.4) has the solution y = [exp

Equations (3.2.7) and (3.2.8) show that the zeroth-order solution of (3.2.4) is bounded or unbounded as x -+ 0 depending on whether qo < 0 or qo 2 0. In order to show the details of the method, we apply it to a specific example for which qo = 2. In this case we consider the following problem treated by Lighthill (1949a) and Tsien (1956)

With this solution (3.2.20) becomes

If x1 = 0, (3.2.22) reduces to the equation for the first-order term in the straightforward expansion, where y1 is more singular at z = 0 than yo. In fact, yo = 0(r2), while y1 = 0 ( c 5as ) x -+ 0. To render the above expansion uniformly valid, x1 can be chosen so that y1 is no more singular than yo by eliminating the right-hand side of (3.2.22). However, Lighthill found that a uniformly valid expansion can be obtained by choosing z1to eliminate the worst singularity. Thus he put (3.2.23)

3.2.3. A SOLID CYLINDER EXPANDING UNIFORMLY I N STILL AIR Let us next solve the problem of a cylindrical shock wave produced by a cylindrical solid body expanding uniformly from zero in inviscid nonconducting still air. This problem was also studied by Lighthill. The radial expansion velocity is assumed to be ca, where a, is the speed of sound in still air and is a small quantity. The shock propagates with a uniform radial velocity Ma, where M is the shock Mach number. The flow between the cylinder and the shock is adiabatic and isentropic, hence it can be represented by a potential function q ( r , t ) (the radial velocity q = qJ given (3.2.44) where u is the local speed of sound and is related to a, by Bernoulli's equation; namely (3.2.45)

84 THE METHOD OF STRAINED COORDINATES

where y is the ratio of the gas specific heats. The gas is assumed perfect with constant specific heats. Three boundary conditions must be satisfied by pl. The velocity of the air at the cylinder's surface is equal to the velocity of its expansion, that is (3.2.46) The second condition is the continuity of pl across the shock. Since pl = 0 in still air pl(Ma,t) = 0 (3.2.47) The third condition is the Rankine-Hugonoit relation between the shock velocity and the velocity of the air behind it; that is

-(€)

(3.2.53) Since there are three boundary conditions imposed on a second-order differential equation, a relationship must exist between M and E. Since E is small, f is small, hence the zeroth-order term in the straightforward expansion is the solution of the linearized form of (3.2.50); that is (1 - 5 2 ) -d y dx2

M =1

This approximate solution has no physical meaning for x > 1, and the shock Mach number must be greater than 1 for there to be any propagation. In order to determine a valid solution beyond z = 1 , and in order to determine by how much M exceeds 1 , we find it convenient to transform the second-order equation (3.2.50) into a system of two first-order equations by letting -df= g

(3.5.15)

Therefore the expansion (3.5.13) is divergent; in fact, it is “more” divergent than (3.5.10), and the expansion breaks down as z approaches O ( E ~ ’ ~All ). that has been achieved is the exchange of an invalid expansion of one variable for an invalid expansion of the other. The reason for the breakdown of the expansion is the dropping of the highest derivative whose effect is small for large z but becomes significant as z approaches the region O ( P ) . 3.5.3. THE EARTH-MOON-SPACESHIP PROBLEM Next we show that the application of the method of strained coordinates to the two-dimensional earth-moon-space problem (introduced in Section 2.4.2) leads to an invalid expansion. To render the expansion (2.4.17) and (2.4.1 8) uniformly valid using the method of strained coordinates, we substitute (3.5.16) x =s pl(s) .*

(3 S . 2 1) Comparing this expansion with the exact solution, Nayfeh (1965a) showed that this expansion gives a divergent trajectory near the moon although the expansion obtained in the one-dimensional case agrees fairly well with the exact solution. In the one-dimensional case there is a singularity at x = 1 p/(l - p z ) O(p2) which is outside the range of interest 0 5 x 5 1. In the straightforward expansion the singularity is shifted to 5 = 1, a n d the straining of z moves the singularity from 5 = 1 toward its right position. However, in the two-dimensional case there is a sharp change in the direction of the spacecraft in the neighborhood of the moon, and the straining which is O ( p ) cannot cope with such a sharp change.

The Method of Averaging by Using Canonical Variables

Let us consider a conservative dynamic system governed by the following Lagrange equations (5.5.1)

where q = ( q l , q 2 ,. . . , q N } is the generalized coordinate vector, t is the independent variable, overdots denote differentiation with respect to I , L(Q, q, t ) = T - V is the Lagrangian, and T and V are the kinetic and potential energies. Let us define the generalized momentum vector p = {Pl?PZ, . P N ) by aL (5.5.2) Pi = aqa ’

and the Hamiltonian H by H = pT4 - L

(5.5.3)

where pT denotes the transpose of p (if p is a column vector, pT is a row vector). Considering H as a function of p, q, and t only, we can write aH dH = 2- dqi i=l 6’4, Also, from (5.5.3)

aH + 2-aH dp, + - d t api at

(5.5.4)

i=l

The second and third terms on the right-hand side of (5.5.5) cancel according to (5.5.2). Moreover, since pi = aL/aq, from (5.5.1) and (5.5.2), we can write (5.5.5) as (5.5.6)

Comparing (5.5.4) and (5.5.6), we obtain the following canonical equations of Hamilton . = aH q. (5.5.7) ’ api aH (5.5.8) pi=-aqi aL aH - -- - (5.5.9) at at These equations replace Lagrange’s equations.

and Q and P are called canonical variables, and the transformation from q and p to Q and P is said to be a canonical transformation with respect to the function K . Canonical transformations can be generated using a so-called generating function S(P, q, t ) according to (e.g., Goldstein, 1965, Chapter 8; Meirovitch, 1970, Chapter 9)

(5.5.15)

If a canonical transformation can be found such that K = 0, then P is a constant vector according to the second relationship in (5.5.13), hence S is a function of q and t only. Since p i = from the first relationship in (5.5.14), S must satisfy the following so-called Hamilton-Jacobi equation

If S is a complete solution of (5.5.16), then (5.5.14) furnishes a complete set of integrals of the equations (5.5.17) Complete solutions of (5.5.16) are not available for a general H . However, if H = H , fi where is small compared to Ho and a complete solution S,,(P,, . . . , P N ,q l , . . . ,.qN,t ) is available for

H,(flSP, . . . , (5.5.18) a41 then an approximate solution of (5.5.17) can be obtained by using the method of averaging in conjunction with the method of variation of parameters. Thus we use a generating function

as a result of (5.5.18). If the solution qo(P,Q, t) and po(P, Q , t) of (5.5.17) with H = Ho has a period T with respect to t , then an approximate solution to (5.5.17) is still given by qo and po but P and Q are given by (5.5.20) with K replaced by its average over T; that is, by

In (5.5.22), P and Q are held constant. We next illustrate this technique by its application to three specific examples. 5.5.1. THE DUFFING EQUATION We consider again the equation q

Von Zeipel’s Procedme

To determine a first approximation to Hamiltonian systems, the method of variation of parameters in conjunction with the method of averaging was used in Section 5.5. To determine higher approximations, von Zeipel (1916) devised a technique which is described and applied in this section to the first two examples discussed in the previous section. The essence of this technique is to expand the generating function S in powers of a small parameter E as

190 m


2 ens,,,

and then determine S,, recursively by solving a chain of partial

n=O

differential equations. Let the system under consideration be described by the Hamiltonian m

WP, q, t ) = 2enHn(p, q, t ) , n=O

E

and

at

-FF,"

(5.6.13)

Thus K,, contains long-period terms only, while S, contains short-period terms only. The functions S, can be obtained by solving successively the chain of partial differential equations in (5.6.13). The basic idea underlying this technique is the same as that underlying the generalized method of averaging of Section 5.2.3. Stern (1971~)showed that, for Hamiltonian systems, Kruskal's technique is equivalent to von Zeipel's technique. In both techniques we introduce near-identity transformations from the old dependent variables, which contain long- as well as short-period terms, into new dependent variables which contain longperiod terms. The basic difference between the two techniques is that the transformation in the von Zeipel method must be canonical, while the transformation in the generalized method of averaging need not be canonical and the system need not be described by a Hamiltonian. Morrison (1966b) showed that up to second order the von Zeipel procedure is a particular case of the generalized method of averaging. Giacaglia (1964) carried

192


out the expansion to any order, while Barrar (1970) investigated the convergence of the von Zeipel procedure. Musen (1965) showed that the equations governing the expansion take a concise form if written in terms of Faa de Bruno operators (1857). We next determine second-order expansions for the first two problems discussed in the previous section. 5.6.1. THE DUFFING EQUATION As a first example, we consider the Duffing equation (5.5.23) which corresponds to the Hamiltonain (5.5.24). The solution of the problem corresponding to H, is given by (5.5.31) as found in Section 5.5.1. Hence

VON ZEIPEL’S PROCJZXJRE

199

The presence of the last term on the right-hand side of (5.6.70) exhibits a shortcoming of the von Zeipel procedure in its present form, in which the fast and slowly varying terms in (5.6.40) were determined using mixed variables (new momenta but old coordinates). Had we expressed (5.6.39) in terms of the new variables a* and /3*, this last term would have been absorbed into S,, which might contribute to the slowly varying part of K3. In fact, such a representation in mixed variables was recognized by Breakwell (see Schechter, 1968) to lead to invalid results for the motion of a particle near the triangular points in the restricted problem of three bodies (Breakwell and Pringle, 1966). Using this suggestion, Schechter obtained a valid expansion by expressing the Hamiltonian in terms of the new variables before averaging to determine the slowly varying part (long period). Musen (1 965) developed algorithms for effecting the transformation, to any order, of variables and arbitrary functions from the old to the new variables and vice versa. Lacina (1969a, b) and Stern (1970a, 1971a) obtained expressions for general near-identity canonical transformations from the old variables to the new variables. With these transformations, they modified the HamiltonJacobi equation. The resulting perturbation schemes may be related to other perturbation schemes which use canonical variables by the proper choice of certain expressions entering into these transformations. A technique of determining integrals of motion of a system governed by a Hamiltonian was developed by Whittaker (1916, 1937), Cherry (1927), Contopoulos (1963), McNamara and Whiteman (1967), and Coffey (1969). The technique is based on the fact that the equation

is satisfied by any integral of the canonical equations of motion

An effective and powerful technique of effecting the transformation of variables and arbitrary functions to new variables has been developed by Hori (1966, 1967) using the Lie series, and Deprit (1969) and Kame1 (1969, 1970) using the Lie transforms. This technique is described in Section 5.7. Had we expressed (5.6.39) in terms of the new variables, we would have found that EU*

Here x and f a r e vectors with N components. The vector x may represent, for example, the amplitudes and the phases of the system, or the orbital parameters of the unperturbed two-body problem. If we denote the components of the vector f, by fmn, then a component xk of the vector x is said to be a rapidly rotating phase iff,, f 0. To analyze this standard system, we found it to be useful (see Section 5.2.3) to introduce a near-identity transformation

5.7.1. THE LIE SERIES AND TRANSFORMS In this section we define the transformation (5.7.2a) as the solution of the N differential equations dx

- = W(x; E ) , de

X(E

= 0) = y

(5.7.3)

The vector W is called the generating vector. It seems at first that we are turning in circles because we are proposing to simplify the original system of differential equations by solving a system of N differential equations. This is not the case, because we are interested in the solution of (5.7.1) for large 1 , whereas we need the solution of (5.7.3) for small E ; which is a significant simplification. Equation (5.7.3) generates the so-called Lie transforms (Kamel, 1970), which are invertible because they are close to the identity. If W does not depend on C , (5.7.3) generates the so-called Lie series. For a canonical system, Hori (1966, 1967) and Deprit (1969) took (5.7.4a)

with S the generating function. Hori (1966) constructed a nonrecursive algorithm using the Lie series to m

determine the transform K = 2: (P/n!)K,(Q, P,t ) of a Hamiltonian m

n=o

H = 2 ( P / n ! ) H , ( q ,p, t). Deprit (1969) constructed another algorithm to ,=O

generate K recursively using the Lie transforms. Kamel (1969b), Campbell and Jefferys (1970), and Mersman (1970) showed the equivalence of Hori’s and Deprit’s theories, while Kamel (1969a) simplified Deprit’s algorithm. Hori (1970) showed that, to second order, Lie transforms are equivalent to von Zeipel’s technique. Shniad (1970) proved that the von Zeipel transformation is equivalent to the Deprit transformation, while Mersman (1971) established the equivalence of the Hori, Deprit and von Zeipel transformations. It should be mentioned that a perturbation theory based on the Lie series and transforms has several advantages over von Zeipel’s procedure. The generating function is not a mixed function of the old and new variables, the theory is canonically invariant, and it is possible to give a direct expansion of any function of the old variables in terms of the new variables. Kamel (1970) introduced the transformation (5.7.3) and constructed an algorithm to transform the standard system (5.7.1) into (5.7.2b). Moreover, he constructed algorithms (1) to transform any vector function from the old to the new variables and (2) to determine (5.7.2a) and its inverse. Henrard (1970) and Kamel (1971) investigated more deeply the mathematical and operational significance of these algorithms. We next construct these generalized algorithms and then specialize them to the canonical case in Section 5.7.5. 5.7.2. GENERALIZED ALGORITHMS Let the solution of (5.7.3) be x = X(y; e ) and let its inverse be y = Y(x; c) so that dx = X, dy and dy = Y,dx (5.7.5) where and

The algorithms described in the previous section to generate these transformations can be implemented on a computer because they can be effected by the recursive application of elementary operations. We describe below the procedure to second order. It is initiated by putting (5.7.50)

5.8. Averaging by Using Lagrangians

Instead of using canonical variables, which require the use of Hamiltonians, Sturrock (1958, 1962) developed a technique that does not require canonical variables. It consists of averaging the Lagrangian and then writing down the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations. Whitham (1965a, 1967a, b, 1970) developed a similar technique for waves in which the frequency and wave number-as well as the amplitude are slowly varying functions of space and time. Bisshop (1 969) supplied a more rigorous justification of this technique. Although this technique is not as elegant as those using canonical variables, it has the advantage of being directly applicable to partial as well as ordinary differential equations. Kawakami (1970) and Kawakami and Yagishita (1971) used canonical variables in conjunction with Hamiltonians to solve the nonlinear Vlasov equation. This technique was applied to a variety of problems of wave propagation in fluids and plasmas. Lighthill (1965, 1967) applied Whitham's theory to moderate waves in deep water where pseudofrequencies are absent, while Karpman and Krushkal' (1 969) used Whitham's theory to study the decay of a plane wave into separate wave packets. Howe (1967) studied open-channel steady flow past a solid surface of finite wave group shape. Bretherton (1968) treated linear wave propagation in slowly varying wave guides, while Bretherton and Garrett (1968) investigated slowly varying waves in inhomogeneous media. Garrett (1968), Drazin (1969), and Rarity (1969) analyzed nonlinear internal gravity waves; the effects of shear and slight atmospheric stratification were determined by Garrett and Drazin, respectively. Simmons (1969) studied the interaction of capillary and gravity waves, while Grimshaw

AVERAGING BY USING LAGRANGIANS

(1970) discussed solitary waves in water of variable depth. Crapper (1970) investigated the generation of capillary waves by gravity waves. Dougherty (1970), Galloway and Crawford (1970), and Galloway and Kim (1971) treated nonlinear waves in plasmas. Dewar (1970) investigated the interaction between hydromagnetic waves and an inhomogeneous medium, while Tang and Sivasubramanian (1 971) studied the nonlinear instability of modulated waves in a magnetoplasma. Lowell (1970) analyzed wave propagation in lattices with an anharmonic potential. We describe this technique and its application to three examples. 5.8.1. A MODEL FOR DISPERSIVE WAVES As a first example, we analyze slowly varying wave train solutions for Bretherton’s (1 964) model equation

with the nonlinear term e d 3 rather than €4” If we neglect the nonlinear term ed3, (5.8.1) admits the uniform traveling wave solution

where

(I)

0 = k x - cot

(5.8.2)

and k satisfy the dispersion relationship 0)’

= k4 - k2

+1

(5.8.3)

To determine a slowly varying wave train solution by using the variational approach, we first write the Lagrangian corresponding to (5.8.1); that is L =

b4t2 - 44:2

+ 4402 - BV +

(5.8.4)

It can be easily verified that (5.8.1) is the Euler-Lagrange equation corresponding to this Lagrangian. We assume an expansion of the form

4 = a c o s e + E p A , c o s n+e cqr2) 4,

n=2

where

k = 0=,

=

-et

(5.8.5) (5.8.6)

and a , o,k , and A i are slowly varying functions of x and t . If 0 is twice continuously differentiable, (5.8.6) gives the compatability relationship kt

+

W,

=0

(5.8.7)

Since secular terms appear first at O(€) in the straightforward expansion,

218


we assume that a,, a,, w,, w , , k,, and k , are O(E).Thus

4,

+ a, cos 8 + cw 2 nAn sin n8 + O ( 2 ) sin 8 + a, cos 8 - E k 2 nAn sin n8 + O(e2) 03

m

n=2

$ ,, = -ak2 cos 8 - 2a,k sin 8

..

- c k 2 z n2Ancos n8 + 0 ( e 2 ) m

n=2

Substituting these expressions into (5.8.4), we find that the resulting Lagrangian depends implicitly on z and r through 8 , a, o,k , and A j . Its variation with z and t through 8 is much faster than that through the other parameters, because when 6 varies over [0,211], the period of the 8 terms in L, the other parameters hardly change. As in the other versions of the method of averaging, we average L over 8 from 0 to 2rr, keeping a, o,k, and A t constant. To do this we first average each term in L separately. Thus

$ ,: = 4a2k4

Hence

$4

= $a4

+ O(c2)

+ O(c)

-

9 = L = f ( 0 2- k4 + k2 - l)a2 + 2 a4 + O(2)

(5.8.8) 32 The averaged Lagrangian 2 is an explicit function of a and an implicit function of 8 through w and k. Now we write the Euler-Lagrange equations with respect to the variables a and 8. The Euler-Lagrange equation with respect to a is a9’EpIaa = 0; it gives the dispersion relationship w2 = k4 - k2

+ 1 + $€a2+ O(r2)

(5.8.9)

Note that this dispersion relationship can be obtained by using the principle of harmonic balance; that is, we let = a cos 8 in (5.8.1) and equate the coefficients of cos 8 on both sides. Since w = -8, and k = 8,, the EulerLagrange equation with respect to 8 is

(5.8.12)

To simplify (5.8.12), we differentiate (5.8.9) with respect to k to obtain WW'

= 2k3 - k

+ O(e2)

where a)' = dwjdk is the group velocity. Hence we rewrite (5.8.12) as

or

(5.8.13) Since w = ~ ( k ) , = o'kt, and the second term in (5.8.13) vanishes according to (5.8.7). Hence (5.8.13) simplifies into (5.8.14)

Moreover, since o = w(k), (5.8.7) can be rewritten as

ak + 0' ak =0 at

ax

(5.8.15)

Therefore the spatial and temporal variations of the amplitude a, frequency a), and wave number k are given by (5.8.9), (5.8.14), and (5.8.15). 5.8.2. A MODEL FOR WAVE-WAVE INTERACTION Had we carried out the expansion of the previous section to second order, we would have obtained (b = a cos 0

€a3 cos 30 + 0 ( e 2 ) + 32(9k4 - 1)

(5.8.16)

Although valid for a wide range of values Df k , this expansion breaks down near k2 = 1/3. This case is referred to as the third-harmonic resonance case in which both cos 0 and cos 38 satisfy the same dispersion relationship; that is, both the fundamental and its third harmonic have the same phase speed wlk.

220


To determine an expansion valid near k2 = 113 for 5.8.1), we assume the expansion to be

4 = a, COS 6, where

(5.8.1 9)

Note that the first-order term contains the fundamental cos 8 , and its third harmonic 8,. Since we are interested in the case k12 M 113, we take w i and ki to be constants, whereas we take p i, v i , ai, and A j to be slowly varying functions of x and t. We next substitute this expansion into (5.8.4) and average the resulting Lagrangian over ei, keeping pi, vi, ui, and Ad constants. In performing the averaging we note that, although Oi are fast varying, 6 3 - 38, is slowly varying. Thus

These equations are in agreement with those obtained in Section 6.2.9 by using the method of multiple scales. 5.8.3.

Scott (1970) treated the special case V(u) = -cos u , which represents the propagation of a magnetic flux on a long Josephson tunnel junction. The Lagrangian corresponding to this equation is

CHAPTER 6

The Method of Multiple Scales

6.1. Description of the Method There are three variants of the method of multiple scales. We describe them by discussing the linear damped oscillator x+x=

-2d

(6.1.1)

We chose this example because its exact solution is available for comparison with the approximate solution obtained, and because we will be able to display the different variants of the method more clearly without involving ourselves in algebra. To start, let us determine a straightforward asymptotic expansion for small 4. Thus we assume that x = xo + EX1

+ GX, + . . .

(6.1.2)

Substituting (6.1.2) into (6.1 .I) and equating coefficients of equal powers of E to zero lead to (6.1.3) xo xo = 0

+ XI + x1 = -2x o xz + 2.2 = -2x1

The general solution of (6.1.3) is 20

= a cos ( t

+ 4)

(6.1.4) (6.1.5)

(6.1.6)

where a and (b are arbitrary constants. Substituting for xo into (6.1.4) and solving the resulting equation, we obtain 21

= -at cos ( t

+ 4)

(6.1.7)

Substituting for x1 in (6.1.5) and solving for x,, we obtain xZ = +at2cos ( t

+ 4) + Qat sin ( t + 9) 228

(6.1.8)

6.1.

DESCRIPTION OF THE METHOD

229

Therefore 2

= a cos ( 2

+ 4)- Ear cos ( r + 4) + +r2a[t2cos (t + 4) + t sin (t + I#)] + O ( 2 )

(6.1.9)

It is obvious that (6.1.9) is a poor approximation to 5 when t is as large as r-l, because then the second (a1) and the third (c2z2) terms are not small compared to G, and rzl, respectively (xl and z2 contain secular terms), as was assumed when we carried out the above expansion. Thus the straightforward expansion is not valid when t increases to O(c-l), and the source of the difficulty is the infinite domain as discussed in Section 2.1. The failure of the above straightfonvard expansion can be seen by investigating the exact solution of (6.1.1), which is given by 2

= ae-"cos

141- e2 t + 41

(6.1.10)

Equation (6.1.9) can be obtained by expanding (6.1.10) for small E with t kept fixed. Thus the exponent and cosine factors are represented by

+ gc2t2 + . . c o s ( J 1 - r 2 t + 4)= cos(t + 4) + +2tsin exp (-d) = 1 - r t

(6.1.11) (t

+ 4) i...

(6.1 .12)

It is clear that exp (-d) can be approximated by a finite number of terms only if the combination d is small. Since E is small, this means that t = O(1). When t is as large as r-l, et is not small and the truncated expansion breaks down. The above truncated series is satisfactory up to a certain value of t after which exp (- rf) and the truncated series differ from each other by a quantity that exceeds the prescribed limit of accuracy. Adding more terms to the truncated series increases the value of r to a new value 1' for which this truncated series is satisfactory. However, for t > t', the difference between exp (- r t ) and the new truncated series again exceeds the prescribed limit of accuracy. All terms of the series are needed to give a satisfactory expansion for exp (- d) for all 1. Thus to determine an expansion valid for times as large as cl, the combination rt should be considered a single variable TI = O(1). Then any truncated expansion for exp (-d) valid for times as large as r--l is of the form exp (- e t ) = exp (- T I )

(6.1.13)

Similarly, the truncated expansion (6.1.12) is not satisfactory when t is as large --as O(E-~). To obtain a truncated asymptotic expansion for cos [Jl - c2 t 41 valid for t = O ( c 2 ) , r2t should be considered a single

variable T2 = O(1). With this condition

cos [JI - e2 t

+ 41 = cos [t - iT2 + 4 - $e4t + ‘1 = cos (t - i T z + 4) + &*t sin (t - $T2 + $) + . * .

*

.

(6.1.14) Expansion (6.1.14) is valid when t = O(zc2) because the correction term (second term) is O(e2) or less for all times up to O(6-3. However, this expansion breaks down when t = O(E-~)because the second term ceases to be small compared to the first. To obtain an expansion valid for times as large as O(c4), another variable, T4= e4t = O(1), should be introduced. The above discussion suggests that z(t; e) depends explicitly on t , d , e 2 t , . . . , as well as E itself. This can also be seen from the exact solution. Thus, in order to determine a truncated expansion valid for all f up to O<E-”‘>,where M is a positive integer, we must determine the dependence of z on the M 1 different time scales To, T I ,. . . , T M , where

+

T , = emt

(6.1.1S)

The time scale Tl is slower than To,while the time scale T, is slower than Tl. In general, T,, is slower than Tn-l. Thus we assume that s(t; E ) = Z(T0, TI,

=

. . . , TIM;E )

2 emsm(To,Ti, . . . , T M )+ O(eTfi1)

M-1

m=O

(6.1.16)

The error in (6.1.16) is stated O(eTM)to remind the reader that this expansion is valid for times up to O ( E - ~ ) .Beyond these times, we must use other time scales to keep the expansion uniformly valid. Equations (6.1.15) and (6.1.16) show that the problem has been transformed from an ordinary differential equation to a partial differential equation. If the original problem is a partial differential equation, then the introduction of different time scales increases the number of independent variables. By using the chain rule, the time derivative is transformed according to (6.1.17) Equations (6.1.15) through (6.1.17) formulate one version of the method of multiple scales ; namely, the many-variable version. This technique has been developed by Sturrock (1957, 1963), Frieman (1963), Nayfeh (196% d , 1968), and Sandri (1965, 1967). Equations (6.1.16) and (6.1.17) show that a uniformly valid expansion is obtained by expanding the derivatives as well as the dependent variables in powers of the small parameter. Hence Sturrock and Nayfeh called this technique the derivative-expansion method.

6.1.


231

Substitution of (6.1.16) and (6.1.17) into (6.1.1) and equating coefficients of like powers of E , we obtain equations for determining xo,xl, . . . ,xM. The solutions of these equations contain arbitrary functions of the time scales T I ,T,, . . . , Ti?,. In order to determine these functions, additional conditions need to be imposed. If (6.1.16) is to be valid for times as large as E-M, P x , should be a small correction to which in turn should be a small correction to E ~ - ~ X , - ~ .Thus we require that

2,< oo for all T,,T,, . . . , T~ 2,-1

This condition does not mean that each x, is bounded. In fact, each x, may be unbounded. However, this condition requires, as in Lighthill's technique (Section 3.2), that higher approximations be no more singular than the first term. This condition is equivalent to the elimination of secular terms. The second version of the method of multiple scales was introduced by Cole and Kevorkian (1963) and applied by Kevorkian (1966a) and Cole (1968) to several examples. Morrison (1966a) showed that this procedure is equivalent to the method of averaging to second order, while Perko (1969) established their equivalence to nth order. Kevorkian (1966b) showed the equivalence of this procedure and von Zeipel's method to first order. If we investigate the exact solution (6.1.10), we find that t appears in either of the combinations E? or 41 - 3f.Hence to determine an expansion valid for large times, one introduces the two time scales f =

(6.1.21) These two versions can be generalized considerably. Thus the manyvariable version can be generalized (Nayfeh, 1967b) by using an asymptotic

Thus

Equations (6.1.22) and (6.1.23) can be generalized further by letting Tn

= 4I(E)ga[rU,,(4fl

(6.1.24) (6.1.25)

where ,u,,(E) is another asymptotic sequence. Thus (6.1.24) allows for linear as well as nonlinear time scales. Similarly the two-variable expansion procedure can also be generalized. Thus (6.1.20) and (6.1.21) can be generalized to

(6.1.27) This general form was developed by several investigators including Kuzmak (1959), Cochran (1962), Mahony (1962), and Nayfeh (1964, 1965b). Klimas, Ramnath, and Sandri (1970) investigated the role of gauge transformations for uniformization of asymptotic expansions. The method of multiple scales is so popular that it is being rediscovered just about every 6 months. It has been applied to a wide variety of problems in physics, engineering, and applied mathematics. Cole and Kevorkian (1963), Nayfeh (1965c, 1967b, 1968), Kevorkian (1966a), Davis and Alfriend (1967), Schwertassek (1969), and Musa (1967)Rasmussen (1970), and Reiss (1971) analyzed weakly linear and nonlinear vibrations governed by second- or third-order ordinary differential equations.

Cochran (1962), Nayfeh (1964, 1965b), and Fowkes (19681) used the generalized version to analyze turning point problems for second-order linear differential equations. Cochran (1962), Nayfeh (1964, 1965b), and Ramnath and Sandri (1969) used the generalized method to study linear equations with variable coefficients, while Cheng and Wu (1970) analyzed the effect of the scales on the problem of an aging spring.

The locus A = 0 is an ellipse whose center is p = 213, 0 = 0, while the locus D = 0 is the two straight lines p = f2a. The interior points of the ellipse correspond to saddle points, hence the corresponding harmonic oscillations are unstable. The points exterior to the ellipse are nodes if

The analysis for this case can be obtained as a special case of the previous case, with k = K ~ Ewhere , the amplitude of excitation K = O(1). Hence k is very large because c is small. Thus, for B near zero, (6.2.72) shows that there exists only one amplitude p for harmonic oscillation and it is stable. As k increases without bound the amplitude increases without bound also.

According to the Floquet theory of linear differential equations with periodic coefficients, the 6-r plane is divided into regions of stability and instability which are separated by transition curves along which u is periodic with a period of either 7r or 2 ~ In. Section 3.1.2, we determined approximations to the transition curves using the Lindstedt-Poincare method. In this section we find not only the transition curves but also the solutions, hence the degree of stability or instability, as we found in Section 3.1.3 using Whittaker's method. To this end we let 6

(6.2.110) Here a, and u2 are real valued functions of the time scale T,; however, to first approximation, u, and a, are constant. Equations (6.2.108) through (6.2.1 10) show that A grows exponentially with TI(i.e., with t) if y1 is real or I6,l 5 1/2, and A oscillates with Tl if y1 is imagi&ry or IS,l 2 1/2 (in this case the solution is written in terms of cos ylTl and sin ylT; to keep A, and Ai real).

We consider here free oscillations (i.e., e = 0) and refer the reader to Nayfeh (1968) for the forced oscillation case.

THE STABILITY OF THE TRIANGULAR POINTS I N THE ELLIPTIC RESTRICTED PROBLEM OF THREE BODIES The next two examples are fourth-order problems-one is linear and the second is nonlinear. Consider first the stability of the triangular points in the restricted problem of three bodies treated in Sections 3.1.4 and 3.1.5 using the Lindstedt-Poincart and Whittaker techniques. This problem was

260


treated first using the method of multiple scales by Alfriend and Rand (1969). The problem reduces mathematically to the stability of solutions of (3.1.63) through (3.1.65). In this section we use the method of multiple scales to determine the transition curves intersecting the p axis at po = (1 - 2d5/3)/2 and determine the behavior of x and y near these transition curves. We set cosf = cos Toand assume that 2

To determine a first approximation, we need not solve for x, and y1 but only insure that xl/zoand yl/yoare bounded for all To. This is the reason why we spelled out the terms that produce secular terms. To eliminate the secular terms, we can find the particular secular solution and then determine the condition for its vanishing. The resulting particular solution is of the form x = 0, (6.2.164) y = R1cos &To S, sin 4To or (6.2.165) x = R, cos &To S2sin *To y = 0,

+

+

Thus we can determine the conditions for the elimination of the secular terms by assuming a particular solution of the form (6.2.164) or (6.2.165). The results of using either form are the same. Substituting (6.2.164) into (6.2.158) and (6.2.159) and equating the coefficients of cos (T0/2) and sin (T0/2) on both sides, we obtain

Ri = Q i ,

s, = -P1

(6.2.166)

R, = -aP,,

S , = -aQ2

(6.2.167)

Elimination of R, and S, from (6.2.166) and (6.2.167) leads to the required conditions; that is PI = aQz, Ql = --UP, (6.2.168) Substituting for P,,P,,Q,, and Q, from (6.2.160) through (6.2.163) into (6.2.168) leads to the following two equations for A and B (1 - 4a (1

+ a2)A’ + [(l - a2)bl + $(bo- aauo)]B= 0

- 4a + a2)B’ -. [(l - a2)b, - $(b, - a2u,)]A = 0

(6.2.169) (6.2.170)

To solve these equations, we let A = a exp y,T,

B = b exp y,T,

(6.2.17 1)

and obtain

These equations are the same as (3.1.105) and (3.1.106) obtained using Whittaker's method. Hence y l and b/a are given by (3.1.107) and (3.1.108), while x and y are given by (3.1.109). This expansion was continued to second order by Alfriend and Rand (1969). 6.2.7.

The'initial conditions for a were obtained above as

aa and - = 0 at T,=O (6.2.210) a TI To determine b(T,, T,) and the dependence of a on T,, we need to carry out the expansion to higher order. If we limit the analysis to O ( 4 , we can regard a as a function of TI within an error of O(E2f). A first integral for (6.2.209) and (6.2.210) is a = l

Since a(T,) is real, the right-hand side of (6.2.211) must be positive, hence p. Since a(0) = 1, a2 increases without bound if j3 < 1 and oscillates between 0 and 1 if j3 > 1. Therefore /? = 1 or k, = 3/8 separates the stable from the unstable regions. Hence the condition of neutral stability is

(6.2.212)

in agreement with (3.5.6). The solution for a is a Jacobian elliptic function.

A t 42222 + 4Zz =C V (6.2.213) which was treated in Sections 5.8.1 and 5.8.2 using the variational approach. The linear problem admits the uniform traveling wave solution

+ j3)

(6.2.214)

where a, k, w , and j3 are constants and w and k satisfy the dispersion relationship w2 = k4 - k2 1 (6.2.215)

+

Harmonic resonance may occur whenever ( w , k) and (nw,nk) for some integer n 2 2 satisfy (6.2.215). This occurs at all k2 = 1/n for n 2 2. At

these wave numbers the fundamental and its nth harmonic have the same phase speed. Since the nonlinearity is cubic in our equation, the fundamental corresponding to k2 = 1/3 interacts to O(E)only with its third harmonic (k2 = 3). If the nonlinearity is ~ r j 5for ~ some integer m , then the fundamental ( k 2 = l/m) interacts to O(E)with its mth harmonic (k2= m).If we consider interactions to orders higher than E, harmonic resonances other than the third can occur even for a cubic nonlinearity. To determine a first-order expansion valid near k2 = 1/3, we let where

Because of the interaction between the two modes, terms that produce secular terms other than the usual exp (id,) occur in (6.2.221). To recognize these terms we consider the perfect resonance case in which d3 = 30, so that exp (id,) and exp (3i0,) produce secular terms. We immediately see that exp ( 3 i Q and exp [i(d, - 20,)] produce secular terms. For the near-resonance case, we indicate their secular behavior by expressing them in terms of exp (id,) and exp (id3). To do this we observe that

e3 - 30, = r = (k, - 3k,)x0 - (W3 - 301)~0 Although X o and To are 0(1), I' becomes slowly varying as k3 w3 -+ 30,, hence we express this slow variation by rewriting I' as

---f

3kl and

(6.2.222) With this function we express exp (3i0,) and exp [i(0, - 20,)] as exp (3i0,) = exp [i(0, - r)],

exp [i(0,

- 20,)l

= exp [i(0,

+ r)].

Eliminating the terms that produce secular terms on the right-hand side of (6.2.221), we have

(6.2.224) Letting A, = (1/2)u, exp (i/?,) with real a, and ?/, in (6.2.223) and (6.2.224) and separating real and imaginary parts, we have (6.2.225)

Equations (6.2.225) through (6.2.228) are in full agreement with (5.8.24) through (5.8.27) obtained using the variational approach. 6.2.10. LIMITATIONS OF THE DERIVATIVEEXPANSION METHOD This method applies to wave-type problems only. It does not apply to unstable cases except when the instability is weak, such as the nonlinear stability problem discussed in Section 6.2.8. For k > 1, u is bounded and the expansion (6.2.198) is valid for times as large as e-2 if k is away from 1. This expansion is valid only for small times for k < 1 and away from 1. Near k = 1 , the instability is weak and a valid solution is given by (6.2.211) for times as large as e-l. In the case of hyperbolic equations, this method applies to dispersive waves only when the initial conditions can be represented by the superposition of a finite number of sinusoidal functions. For a linearly nondispersive wave problem such as (6.2.230) u ( 5 , 0) =f(z),

au -( 5 , O ) at

=0

(6.2.231)

this method does not provide a solution even iff(z) is a sinusoidal function such as cos 5. To see this we let u = uo(5, To, Ti)

A(0) = 3 Substituting this zeroth-order solution into (6.2.235) gives

2AA + ,42e2”’2-TO’

+ pe-2i(z-To)

(6.2.238) The right-hand side of this equation contains terms that produce secular To)]in addition to terms. They are the terms proportional to exp [f2i(z exp [fi(z - To)].In order that ul/uobe bounded for all To,all these terms must be eliminated. However, there is no way in which this can be done. In the previous examples such terms were proportional to exp [fi(z - To)], hence A was chosen to eliminate them. In this case, if a nontrivial solution is desired, A can be chosen in such a way as to eliminate the terms proportional to exp [fi(z - To)].The resulting expansion contains secular terms, hence it is not valid for large times. Expansions valid for large times and general initial conditions for nondispersive waves were obtained in Sections 3.2.4 and 3.2.5 using the method of strained coordinates.

The algebraic details of the solution are not presented here. The details for the first-order solution are the same as in Section 6.2.6, with E = Tl and 7 = To. The reader is referred to Alfriend and Rand (1969) for details of the second-order solution. Their results are in full agreement with those obtained in Section 3.1.5 using Whittaker's method. 6.3.4. LIMlTATlONS OF THIS TECHNIQUE The above examples demonstrate that by choosing the two variables appropriately the results of the two-variable expansion procedure agree with those of the derivative-expansion method. In some cases more than two variables are needed to obtain uniformly valid expansions such as in the case

276 THE

METHOD OF MULTIPLE SCALES

of satellite motion around the smaller primary in the restricted problem of three bodies (Eckstein, Shi, and Kevorkian, 1966a) and the motion of an artificial satellite having a period commensurable with the rotational period of its primary (Shi and Eckstein, 1968). In the case of hyperbolic equations, this technique as well as the derivativeexpansion method applies only to dispersive wave problems and it does not provide solutions for nondispersive wave problems such as that discussed in Section 6.2.10. 6.4

Generalized Method

6.4.1. A SECOND-ORDER EQUATION WITH VARIABLE COEFFICIENTS Let us consider the following special second-order problem (Nayfeh, 1964, 1965b) d2Y dy (6.4.1) lz(22 -I-1)2y = 0 dx2 dx

+

+

Y(0) = YO) = B (6.4.2) discussed in Sections 4.1.3 and 4.2.2 using the methods of matched and composite asymptotic expansions. As discussed in Section 4.1.3, the straightforward expansion possesses a nonuniformity at x = 0. The size of the region of nonuniformity is x = O(F). To treat this problem using the method of matched asymptotic expansions, an inner expansion valid when x = O(E) was introduced using the inner variable r] = x/e. This inner expansion was matched to the outer expansion and then a composite expansion was formed to give a uniformly valid expansion. To obtain a uniformly valid expansion using the generalized version of the method of multiple scales, we introduce the scales E = X

(6.4.3)

where g, is determined from the analysis. We require that go(0) = g,(O) = 0 so that go(z)--+ z as x -+ 0, hence 17 approaches the inner variable X/Q. Then the derivatives with respect to x are transformed according to (6.4.5)

where primes denote differentiation with respect to the argument. Note that we expressed the z variables appearing in (6.4.1) in terms of 5; namely, we expressed 22 1 as 2E 1. Moreover, we expressed gn and its derivatives in terms of 5. Now we assume that there exists a uniformly valid asymptotic representation of the solution of (6.4.7) in the form

where

0 in [0, I]. The case in which ‘ ( 2 ) vanishes in the interior of [0, 13 is called a turning point problem. Turning point problems are discussed briefly in Section 6.4.4 and in detail in Sections 7.3.1 through 7.3.9. If c = 0, this example will be the same as that treated in Section 4.1.3 using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. Since a(.) > 0, the nonuniformity is at 1: = 0. In Section 4.1.3, we introduced an inner variable X / E to determine an expansion valid in the region x = O(E), which was matched to an outer expansion. To determine a uniformly valid first approximation using the method of multiple scales, we assume that there exists an asymptotic representation for y of the form

where we have expressed a(z), b(z), c(z), and g(z) in terms of E . Since g $ 0, the general solution of (6.4.38) is where

As discussed in the previous section, y must be a constant; otherwise the derivatives with respect to 6 would produce terms proportional to y ‘ q in (6.4.39), hence make ylIyo unbounded as q + 00. For a uniformly valid expansion, we require that y = 1 without loss of generality. Hence g =[u(t)dt

since g(z)+ z as 2-0

Substituting for yo into (6.4.39) gives (a72

The limits of the integrals in (6.4.46)and (6.4.47)were chosen so that a, and b, could be expressed in a simple manner in terms of the boundary conditions (6.4.35).Thus a, = 8 and Expansion (6.4.48)is a composite expansion which agrees with the inner and outer expansions obtained in Section 4.1.3 in the inner and outer regions, respectively. If we specialize (6.4.48)for the case a(.) = 1

6.4.3. A LINEAR OSCILLATOR WITH A SLOWLY

VARYING RESTORING FORCE The two cases discussed above can be treated by using either the method of multiple scales or the method of matched asymptotic expansions. Let us consider next an example that cannot be treated by the latter method; namely y” + b(€s)y = 0 (6.4.52) where b ( a ) # 0 and E is a small parameter. To obtain an expansion uniformly valid for large x, we assume that there exists an asymptotic representation for y of the form Y = >[(OY q) EYl(6, q) * * * (6.4.53) where ,$=Ex, q = - +g ( t ) ...

This form of q was chosen in order that the frequency of oscillation w = dq/dx = g‘(6) = O(1). Substituting (6.4.53) and (6.4.54) into (6.4.52)and

equating the coefficients of

and e to zero, we obtain

The general solution of (6.4.55) is (6.4.57)

where

(6.4.58) As argued in the previous two sections, we set y = 1 to obtain an expansion in which yl/yois bounded for all 7. Hence g

In order that yl/yo be bounded for all 17, we require the vanishing of the coefficients of exp (&ill) on the right-hand side of (6.4.60); that is

+ 2g'A' = 0 g"B + 2g'B' = 0 g"A

The solutions of these equations are A = = 6, 0 B=-- 6 0 J g' J g' where E0 and 6, are constants of integration. If b(Ez) > 0, y is given by

284 THE METHOD OF MULTIPLE SCALES

Expansions (6.4.64) and (6.4.65) are called the WKB approximation to the solution of (6.4.52) (see Section 7.1.3). These expansions are clearly not valid near a point where b(cx) vanishes. In fact, they tend to infinity as x approaches a zero of b(~x).The zeros of ~ ( E z ) are called turning points and are discussed in detail in Sections 7.3.1 through 7.3.9. An example of a turning point problem is treated in the next section using the method of multiple scales. If we change variables in (6.4.52) from x to 6, we find that (6.4.66)

which is a problem containing a large parameter 1.Thus the above-obtained approximation is applicable to this problem as well. 6.4.4. AN EXAMPLE WITH A TURNING POINT Let us consider the problem y"

+ P ( 1 - x)j-(x)y = 0

(6.4.67)

where 1 is a large positive number andf(x) is regular and positive. The WKB approximation tends to infinity as x -+ 1 as can be seen from (6.4.64) and (6.4.65) if we let b ( d ) = (1 - x ) f ( x ) and E = P. To determine an expansion valid everywhere using the method of multiple scales, we first determine the size of the nonuniformity. Thus we let 5 = (1 - x)A" with v > 0 in (6.4.67) and obtain (6.4.68)

As A -+ co, the following different limits exist depending on the value of

y=o

d2Y + f ( l ) t y dt2

if v < g }

= 0 if

(6.4.69)

v =Q

The last limit is the appropriate one because its solution has an exponential behavior for 5 < 0 (i.e., x > 1) and an oscillatory behavior for 5 > 0 (i.e., x < 1). Thus it can be used to connect (6.4.64) and (6.4.65) as the turning point is crossed. Therefore we assume that there exists an asymptotic representation o f the

2/9, or if a(5) < 0 and < 0, (6.4.89) has no periodic solutions. (2) a(5) > 0, B(5) > 0. In this case p > 0 and (6.4.94) shows that y < 0. Hence the curve that determines y lies in the fourth quadrant. The solution for y exists for 0 < p < 03. (3) a(6) < 0, B(E) > 0. In this case p < 0 and (6.4.94) shows that y < 0. Hence the curve that determines y lies in the third quadrant. The solution for y exists if -a < p < -419. Since the elliptic functions and integrals are usually tabulated for real Y such that 0 < Y < 1, alternative asymptotic solutions in terms of cn(q, Y ) and dn(ljr, Y ) are preferred in cases (2) and (3).

Here wo, K, y , pi,xi, and vi are slowly varying functions of time, and I and I, are constants.

The frequencies w1and w, are called the nutation and precession frequencies.

292


For statically stable bodies (ie., coo2> 0) and positivep, w1 is positive while negative. Two cases arise depending on whetherp is near w1 or not. The first case is called roll resonance, and the forced response tends to infinity as p + wl.Before p approaches wl, the damping as well as the nonlinear aerodynamic forces significantly modify the response. The roll resonance case is discussed in this section for the case K = C2k,and we refer the reader to Nayfeh and Saric (1972a) for the nonresonant case. To determine an approximate solution to (6.4.105) through (6.4.107) when p M o1using the generalized version of the method of multiple scales, we make use of the fact that actual fight test data and six-degree-of-freedom numerical calculations show that there are at least four time scales: a slow time scale T2 = cat characterizing K, coo, y , vi, xi, and pi;and three fast scales characterizing the nutation, precession, and forced components of the angle of attack. Thus we assume expansions of the form o2is

The solution obtained in this section using the method of multiple scales is a different representation of the solution obtained in Section 5.8.1 by averaging the Lagrangian.

However, in Section 5.8.1 there is no phase, but the dispersion relationship (5.8.9) is amplitudedependent; in this section the dispersion relationship is independent of amplitude but the solution describes the phase variation.

CHAPTER 7

Asymptotic Solutions of Linear Equations

In this chapter we describe new techniques and use some of the techniques described in the previous chapters to obtain asymptotic solutions of linear ordinary and partial differential equations. Interest here is in differential equations with variable coefficients. The approach is to utilize a small or large parameter and develop parameter perturbations or to utilize a small or large coordinate and develop coordinate perturbations. If the point at infinity is an ordinary point or a regular singular point of an ordinary system of differential equations, convergent solutions can be obtained in inverse powers of the coordinate, except in some special cases of the regular singular problem when one of the solutions may involve the logarithm of the coordinate. Our interest in this chapter is in the irregular singular case, when the solution must be represented by an asymptotic expansion. In the parameter perturbation case, the parameter can be small or large; the first case includes the case of slowly varying coefficients. The expansions in these cases are obtained using the Liouville-Green (WKB) transformation and its generalizations. The resulting expansions are valid everywhere except at certain points called turning or transition points. Expansions valid everywhere including the turning points are obtained using Langer’s transformation and its generalizations. The discussion of partial differential equations is limited to the case of the reduced wave equation with variable index of refraction. The expansion is first developed for the case in which the index of refraction deviates slightly from a constant, using the Born-Neumann procedure, and the solution is then represented by Feynman diagrams. The resulting expansion is valid only for short distances, and its region of uniformity is extended using the renormalization technique. Then the geometrical optics approach and the method of smoothing are described. Since these problems are linear, a vast amount of literature exists on their asymptotic solutions as well as their mathematical justification. We describe

For further references and mathematical rigor, the reader is referred to ErdClyi (1956), Jeffreys (1962), Cesari (1971), Bellman (1964), Wilcox (1964), Wasow (1965), Feshchenko, Shkil', and Nikolenko (1967), Wasow (1968), and Frisch (1968). Second-order ordinary differential equations are treated first in Section 7.1, while systems of first-order ordinary differential equations are discussed in Section 7.2. Turning point problems are then taken up in Section 7.3, while the reduced wave equation is treated in Section 7.4. 7.1. Second-Order Differential Equations In this section we are concerned with the asymptotic development of the solutions of the equation (7.1.1) where E is a parameter which can be either small or large. We assume that p and q do not simultaneously vanish in the interval of interest. We discuss first the asymptotic solutions of this equation near an irregular singular point. Then we describe techniques for determining the asymptotic solutions of (7.1.1) when it contains a large parameter. Next we consider singular perturbation problems in which a small parameter multiplies the highest derivative. Finally, we describe techniques for obtaining asymptotic expansions when p , q , and r are slowly varying functions of x. 7.1.1. EXPANSIONS NEAR AN IRREGULAR SINGULARITY Let us investigate the asymptotic development of the solutions of (7.1.2) as x + co, if the point at infinity is an irregular singular point. Before doing so let us define a regular singular and an irregular singular point. Assume thatp(z) and q(s) can be developed in ascending powers of (2 - so),zo < co, as P(X) = Po(" - xJa[l P ~ ( Z- 4 . . .I, Po # 0 (7.1.3) q ( z ) = qo(x - zo)'[1 qi(5 - 2 0 ) . . .I, qo # 0 The point Z o is called an ordinarypoint if a 2 0 and fi 2 0; otherwise it is called a singular point. A singular point is called a regular singular point if a 2 - 1 and ,6 2 -2; otherwise it is called an irregular singular point.

ASYMPTOTIC SOLUTIONS OF LINEAR EQUATIONS

The above definitions indicate that the nature of a finite point such as zo can be decided almost at a glance. The nature of the point at infinity can be determined by transforming it first into the origin. Thus we let x = z-l in (7.1.2) and obtain (7.1.4) The point at infinity is an ordinary point of the original equation if the origin is an ordinary point of the transformed equation; that is

In this case (7.1.2) has two convergent solutions in - 1 and /? -2, powers of x-l. If these conditions are not satisfied, and a the point at infinity is a regular singular point. In this case (7.1.2) has two of the form (Frobenius, 1875) convergent solutions in powers of z1

- 1, x = m is an irregular singular point of the system. The behavior of the solution near an irregular singularity depends on whether all the eigenvalues of A. are distinct or not. We discuss in this section the case of distinct eigenvalues. If (7.2.1) is a scalar equation, it can be solved explicitly and its solution has the form y ( x ) = U(x)z“e*(z’ (7.2.3) where G is generally a complex constant, Q(z) is a polynomial of z having the form (0 if q = - 1 Q ( x ) = Q+I (7.2.4) 12 m=l Qmxm and m

(7.2.5)

In the case of systems of equations, the asymptotic solution still has the form (7.2.3) but G, Q,, and Urnare constant matrices. This expansion was called a “normal” solution by Thomi (1 883). To calculate the asymptotic expansions for the solutions of (7.2.1) and (7.2.2), we seek formal solutions of the form where

For a nontrivial solution the determinant in (7.2.9) must vanish. This condition gives the following nth-order algebraic equation 1-40

(7.2.10)

If the eigenvalues of A , are distinct, (7.2.10) gives n distinct values for A,, which correspond to n linear independent solutions of the form (7.2.6). 7.2.2. ASYMPTOTIC PARTITIONING OF SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS Sibuya (1958) developed the following scheme for simplifying the system of equations (7.2.1) by reducing them to some special differential equations whose solutions can be found more readily than those of the original system. To accomplish this we let (7.2.1 1) Y = W)V(X) where P is an n x n nonsingular matrix to be determined and v is a column vector. Hence (7.2.1) is transformed into

-

dv = zQB(z)v dx

where

A(x)P(z) -

m=O m

(7.2.14)

P = z P m x - m as x + a , m=O

where Bm represents a Jordan canonical matrix. Substituting (7.2.14) into (7.2.13) and equating coefficients of like powers of 5 , we obtain (7.2.15) AoPo - P,B, = 0 m-1

Since B, has distinct eigenvalues, (7.2.18) with (7.2.21) can be solved to determine W,, hence P,, from (7.2.19). In the case of multiple eigenvalues, we can partition the system of equations into simpler systems using the same scheme. We assume that A . has multiple eigenvalues and that there exists a matrix Po such that B, = P,'A,P,

The technique employed in Section 7.1.2 is very much easier to implement than the technique described in this section. 7.2.3. SUBNORMAL SOLUTIONS If A, of (7.2.1) has multiple eigenvalues, we cannot decouple all these equations by choosing B to be a diagonal matrix. Instead we partition this system of equations to obtain simpler systems of the form m

(7.2.40)

where the eigenvalues li of B l are different from l j of B ; for i # j . Thus corresponding to each single eigenvalue A,, B” is a scalar, and (7.2.40) can be solved. If q = 0 (7.2.41) where a is a constant and c, are known in terms of Brmfor r 2 2. Hence a normal solution exists corresponding to this eigenvalue of the original system (7.2.1). For a multiple eigenvalue 1, of multiplicity m,,B* has a rank of m,.It turns out that this reduced m, system of equations, hence the original system, may not have a normal solution corresponding to this eigenvalue. However, it may have what is called a subnormal solution of the form (7.2.3) through (7.2.5), but Q and U are expanded in powers of xIir with integer r. As an example, the equation dx

-dx

In this case

McKelvey ( 1 955) expressed the asymptotic solutions of a second-order turning point problem (i.e., c/. = 2 ) in terms of Whittaker's functions. A second-order turning point problem arises in the diffraction by elliptic cylinders whose eccentricities are almost unity (Goodrich and Kazarinoff, 1963), and in the solution of the Schrodinger equation (Voss, 1933). The first analysis of a second-order turning point problem was given by Goldstein (1931) using the method of matched asymptotic expansions as described in Section 7.3.1. 7.3.5. H 1G H ER APPROXI MAT 10N S So far in our presentation, only the first term in the asymptotic expansion has been obtained. There are four different approaches for the determination of the higher-order terms.

Lunger's Approach. The gist of this approach is always to relate the solution of the equation to be solved to that of some simpler but structurally similar problem that can be solved explicitly in terms of transcendental functions (Langer, 1949). The drawback to this approach is that it is unsuitable for numerical calculations because the coefficients of the asymptotic expansions are functions of the independent variable as well as the perturbation parameter. Moreover, the expansions are established using several transformations. Equivalent expansions can be obtained in an easier way by using Olver's approach as indicated later. CI1erry's Approach. In 1949 and 1950, Cherry developed a technique for obtaining the higher-order terms of a simple turning point problem, which has been transformed using the Langer transformation (Section 7.3.2) into d2V

where c is a constant to be determined from the initial conditions. The expansion obtained in this section is not valid at a caustic (i.e., an envelope of rays), shadow boundaries, foci of the rays, and source points. In such regions neighboring rays intersect and the cross-sectional area of a tube of rays becomes zero. Since the energy is conserved in a tube of rays, the amplitude of the field must be infinite in these regions. The unboundedness of the field at a caustic is shown below, and an expansion valid everywhere including a caustic is obtained in the next section. To show the breakdown of the expansion of this section at or near a caustic, we specialize it to the case n(r) = 1. In this case the rays are straight lines according to (7.4.76), and S = So - oo o according to (7.4.77). Now we express the solution of (7.4.71) and (7.4.72) in terms of a coordinate system with respect to the caustic which we assume to be smooth and convex. Figure 7-1 shows a point P outside the caustic and two rays passing through it. If we assign a direction to the caustic, this induces a direction for each ray which must be tangent to it at some point. Thus each point P outside the caustic lies on two rays-one has left the caustic and the other is approaching the caustic.

In two dimensions we let s measure the arc length along the caustic and u measure the length from the point of tangency to the point P. Thus the position of P is determined by s1 and ul or s2 and 02.In terms of these coordinates, the position vector r of P can be expressed as

A UNIFORM EXPANSION AT A CAUSTlC To determine an expansion valid at the caustic, we first must determine the size of the region of nonuniformity and the form of the solution in this region.

Had we analyzed the behavior of the solution near a shadow boundary, we would have found that it must be represented by Weber or parabolic cylinder functions. Now we can either match this inner expansion with the outer expansion obtained in the previous section and with another outer expansion inside the caustic (Buchal and Keller, 1960), or form a single uniformly valid expansion imitating the expansions for turning point problems (see Section 7.3). Following Kravtsov (1964a, b), Ludwig (1966), and Zauderer (1970b), we assume an asymptotic expansion of the form u = e"fl(r'(g(r, k)V[k2/3+(r)]

Equations (7.4.102) are equivalent to the eiconal equation (7.4.70), while (7.4.104)are equivalent to the transport equation (7.4.71).Similar expansions were obtained by Fowkes (1968, Part 11) by using the method of multiple scales. The system of equations (7.4.102)is a nonlinear system of equations which is elliptic where 4 < 0 (shadow region), hyperbolic where 4 > 0 (illuminated region), and parabolic where 4 = 0 (caustic curve or surface). For a convex analytic caustic, the systems (7.4.102) and (7.4.104) can be solved by expanding 8 and 4 in power series in terms of a coordinate system with respect to the caustic. To see the connection between the system (7.4.102) and the eiconal equation (7.4.70), we multiply the second equation in (7.4.102) by f2& (illuminated region where 4 > 0 is considered) and add the result to the first of these equations to obtain

Replacing V and V’ by their asymptotic expansions for large argument, we recover the geometrical optics expansion of the previous section (4 > 0, illuminated region). Replacing V and V’ by their asymptotic expansions for

large argument for the case q4 < 0, we obtain an expansion in the shadow region which can be interpreted in terms of complex rays, phases, and transport coefficients. Uniform asymptotic expansions for wave propagation and diffraction problems were reviewed by Ludwig (1970b) and Babich (1970, 1971). The role of coordinate systems in rendering the expansions uniformly valid was investigated by Zauderer (1970a). A single uniformly valid expansion for a point source problem was obtained by Babich (1965), while three matched expansions for this problem were presented by Avila and Keller (1963). Problems of diffraction by convex objectswere treated by Zauderer (1964b), Buslaev (1964), Grimshaw (1966), Ludwig (1967), and Lewis, Bleistein and Ludwig (1967) among others. Diffraction by a transparent object was analyzed by Rulf (1968). Uniform expansions for the problem of diffraction near the concave side of an object (whispering galley modes) were obtained by Kravtsov (1964b), Matkowsky (1966), and Ludwig (1970a) among others. Characteristic transition regions in which two caustics are near each other are analogous to second-order turning points. Their uniform expansions involve Weber or parabolic cylinder functions. Some of these problems were treated by Kravtsov (1965), Babich and Kravtsova (1967), Weinstein (1969), and Zauderer (1970a, b). Diffraction by a thin screen (Fresnel diffraction) was investigated by Wolfe (1967), Kersten (1967), and Ahluwalia, Lewis, and Boersma (1968). Multiple transition regions arise from the tangential intersection of two or more caustics and shadow boundaries, such as near terminated caustics (Levey and Felsen, 1967), cusps on caustics (Ludwig, 1966), and points of diffraction for smooth objects (Ludwig, 1967). Problems involving transition regions were treated by Zauderer (1964a, 1970a), Fock (1965), Rulf (1967), and Bleistein (1967) among others. 7.4.6. THE METHOD OF SMOOTHING

To apply this technique to (7.4.3) with n2(r) a centered random function,

we first convert it to the integral equation

u = M g - Ek2MXU where the operator M is defined by

(7.4.109)

(7.4.110) with Gothe free-space Green’s function. Frisch (1968) pointed out that many other linear equations of mathematical physics, such as the Liouville equation

WAVE EQUATIONS

for an ensemble of classic interacting particles, the Hopf equation for turbulence, and the Fokker-Planck equation, can be put in the above integral equation form. In general, we are not interested in the function u but in its projection Pu on a subspace of the original space over which u is defined. For example, in the problem of wave propagation in a random medium, Pu = ( u ) , while in the case of N interacting particles, Pu is the N-particle velocity distribution function obtained by integrating u over all position coordinates. Let Pu = u,,

and

u, = ( I

For wave propagation in a random media, u, is the coherent part of the field (mean part) while u, is the incoherent part (fluctuating part). For a deterministic g and a centered random x Pg = g ,

For random operators (7.4.116) is just the Dyson equation (7.4.49) with Q the mass operator. This technique was called the method of smoothing by Frisch (1968) because it is the counterpart of the method of averaging (Chapter 5) in which the dependent variables have short- and long-period parts. This

382


technique was first introduced by Primas (1961), Ernst and Primas (1963), and Tatarski and Gertsenshtein (1963) for random equations, and by Zwanzig (1964) for the Liouville equation. The first-order smoothing is given by (7.4.116), with n = 1 in (7.4.117); that is Q = E W P ~ M (-I P)xP = c2k4PxMxP Hence u, = Mg e2k4MP~MxPu, (7.4.118)

5. A molecular study on the depth-dependent oxidation and condensation gradients of aged dammar and mastic varnish films

Abstract

The depth-dependent oxidation and condensation gradients of extremely aged, ~ 55 µm thick dammar and mastic films are studied on the molecular level. Direct Temperature-resolved MS (DTMS), Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionisation Time-Of-Flight MS (MALDI-TOF-MS) and High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatography (HP-SEC) were employed to analyse the films after 248 nm laserinduced removal of 3.5, 7, 11.5, 15, 20, 25 µm and 3, 6, 10, 12, 16, 20, 25 µm from the aged dammar and mastic films respectively. Electron ionisation (16 eV) DTMS total ion currents indicated that polarity and condensation decrease depth-wise, since lower temperature is required to volatilise the incorporated polar compounds and to induce pyrolysis of the high MW condensed fraction as the thickness of both films reduces. The relative abundance of oxidised dammarane, oleanane and ursane type triterpenoids gradually decreases with depth. Multivariant Factor Discriminant Analysis (DA) quantified the oxidative gradient and showed that a depth of 15 µm from surface of the aged films is the threshold between highly and poorly deteriorated

material. MALDI-TOF-MS showed that UV-induced oxidation resulting in A-ring openings at position C-2 of the oleanane / ursane type molecules stops at the 15 µm below the surface. The upper layers completely absorb radiation with λ < 350 nm. HP-SEC determined that the high molecular weight fraction becomes less prominent as a function of depth. All the data presented establish the depth-dependent compositional gradients and determine that deep layers in the bulk of aged dammar and mastic films remain unaffected from autoxidative degradation processes. The fact that non-UV-induced oxidation and unaffected material were detected in the bulk of the laser ablated varnish films indicates that excimer laser ablation at 248 nm is a non-oxidative process.

5.1 Introduction Ageing of triterpenoid resins, such as dammar and mastic, under light, is in principle an oxidative process, leading, as a first step, to the conversion of triterpenoid hydrocarbon type carbon skeletons (Figure 2.2.1) to carbon skeletons with oxygen containing functional groups (Figure 2.2.2) (De la Rie 1988a, Van der Doelen 1999). Today, it is understood that these changes are only the beginning of an oxidative process leading to radical polymerisation (crosslinking or condensation), oxidative modifications in the side chain or in the functional groups on the tetra- or the pentacyclic ring structures, shortening of the side chain, especially in triterpenoid compounds with the dammarane skeleton (Van der Doelen, et al. 1998a, Van der Doelen, et al. 1998b), and probably to eventual defunctionalisation, bond breaking and disintegration of the triterpenoid carbon skeleton (Boon and van der Doelen 1999).

Chapter 5


As already described above (Section 2.2), the extent of oxidative degradation is significantly affected by the presence or absence of UV wavelengths in the incident radiation. The main difference is that UV wavelengths lead to an opening of the Aring at position C-2 of dammarane and oleanane/ursane type molecules (Figure 2.2.2c) (Van der Doelen, et al. 2000), while in the absence of UV wavelengths most of the oxidative products are associated with oleanane and ursane type triterpenoids oxidised at positions C-11 and C-28 (Figure 2.2.2b) (Van der Doelen, et al. 1998a). UV wavelengths have been employed for various studies on the ageing of the triterpenoid varnishes (De la Rie 1988b, Zumbühl, et al. 1998, Van der Doelen, et al. 2000, Scalarone, et al. 2003). It has been determined, herein, that for the study of extremely aged varnishes, UV wavelengths are essential during the ageing process (Section 2.3). Even freshly harvested triterpenoid resins, having been irradiated by sunlight during exudation from the bark of the resin trees (Koller, et al. 1997), contain dammarenolic acid and 20,24-epoxy-25-hydroxy-dammaran-3-one (Mills and Werner 1955, Poehland, et al. 1987, De la Rie 1988a, Van der Doelen, et al. 1998a, Van der Doelen, et al. 1998b, Scalarone, et al. 2003), both having oxidised A-rings. The presence of these highly degraded molecules in ‘fresh’ resins is explicable by the free radical chain reactions which were initiated in the resin teardrops during the harvesting period (Dietemann 2003). A DTMS study of 55 µm thick dammar and mastic films, aged under intense, accelerated deteriorative conditions1, showed that both films contain a mixture of a few intact triterpenoid molecules, some oxidised triterpenoids with A-ring openings, evidently produced upon UV irradiation, and 1

some oxidised oleanane/ursane type molecules generated upon non-UV irradiation (Section 2.3). It is should be stressed that UV-induced and non-UV-induced oxidised triterpenoids were found to be almost in equal relative amounts in the investigated films (Table 2.3.5). In Section 4.3.2 it was demonstrated that the distribution of carbonyl groups is not random in the thickness of the films but influenced by the optical absorption lengths at the various wavelengths contained in the incident light. In particular, upon ageing dammar and mastic films absorb completely wavelengths with λ < 350 nm at the uppermost 10-15 µm surface layers, wavelengths with λ > 350 nm penetrate deeper and wavelengths λ > 400 nm fully penetrate the 55 µm films tested (Figure 4.3.2.6). A theoretical model based on earlier GC/MS findings on aged dammar and mastic indicated that, owing to the strong light intensity and the abundant presence of oxygen in the surface, most of the oxidative products are generated in the surface, while the reduced amounts of oxygen in the bulk result in termination reactions of free radicals producing non-oxidative crosslinks (Boon and van der Doelen 1999). In other words, it is suggested that the oxidative deterioration of aged dammar and mastic films reduces with depth. The most apparent clues towards this conclusion are that: –

aged dammar films thicker than 10 µm were found to be less deteriorated than thinner dammar films aged under the same conditions (De la Rie 1988b).

–

solubility tests of laser ablated, naturally aged varnishes on paintings using a KrF excimer laser and a mixture of cleaning solvents showed that polarity decreases as a function of depth (Theodorakopoulos and Zafiropulos 2003, Section 1.4).

– the amount of free radicals in fresh mastic resin teardrops, harvested in the same period, increases as the teardrops decrease in size, indicating that mastic blocks the propagation of light in the bulk (Dietemann 2003). These findings are supported by theoretical models on the ageing of various organic materials. Thomson suggested the presence of unreacted substance across depth of light aged organic films and based on Beer’s Law postulated that the abundance of this unreacted material should increase with increasing distance from the surface (Thomson 1965, 1979). Other models have shown that the consumption of oxygen across depth is dependent upon a reducing rate of diffusion, which leads to ‘oxygen starvation’ in the bulk (Thomson 1978, Cunliffe and Davis 1982, Fukushima 1983). The integration of data resulting from reducing light propagation into films and from the reduction of oxygen availability with depth produced models showing that the overall degradation of organic substrates is reduced as a function of depth (Schoolenberg and Vink 1991). A comprehensive review about depth-dependent degradation in various materials due to light propagation and oxygen diffusion has been already provided (Feller 1994a). Heat-bodied oil coatings, such as a thick copal oil varnish film tested, are the exception of this rule, because of the prepolymerisation process (Mantell, et al. 1949, Mills and White 1994, Carlyle 2001), which leads to high degrees of saturation both in terms of absorption (Sections 2.4, 2.5 and 4.3.2) and in terms of bonding of the incorporated molecular structures (Chapter 6). The depth-dependent gradients in oxidation and crosslinking across the thickness of aged dammar and mastic films have been determined experimentally by the changes 253

in the interaction of these films at consecutive depths with a KrF excimer laser (Zafiropulos,

et

2000,

and

Zafiropulos

2003,

Theodorakopoulos, et al. 2005, Chapters 1 and 3). In particular, it was shown that (a) the ablation rate per pulse and the ablation yield per incident laser photon (Section 3.3.2), (b) the carbon dimers emitted in the ablation plume monitored by LIBS (Section 3.3.4), (c) the ablation step obtained using a common laser cleaning method (Section 3.3.5) and (d) the laser light transmitted towards the underlying substrate (Section 4.3.1.2), gradually change across the reducing thickness of the ablated films. UV/VIS and ATR-FTIR measurements established the decreasing gradients in absorption, oxidation, and crosslinking as a function of depth (Section 4.3.2), and the results were in a good agreement with earlier findings (Zafiropulos, et al. 2000). Moreover, evidence was provided about the non-oxidative contribution of the 248 nm pulses of the KrF excimer laser to the remaining films, as has been also determined elsewhere (Castillejo, et al. 2002). The latter finding shows that the determined gradients are not a result of the interaction of the resin films with the UV laser photons but a genuine characteristic of aged dammar and mastic films. This chapter aims at the establishment of the compositional gradients of aged dammar and mastic films on the molecular level. The evaluation of the dammar and mastic films prior to and after ageing (Section 2.3) enables a comparison with the degradation state of the films across their depth profiles.

particular of aged and unaged natural resins, based on HPLC-MS, GC/MS and DTMS, are employed for an efficient interpretation of the complex DTMS summation mass spectra (De la Rie 1988a, Papageorgiou, et al. 1997, Van der Doelen, et al. 1998a, Scalarone, et al. 2003). Quantification of the DTMS data is enabled with Multivariant Factor Discriminant Analysis. MALDI-TOF-MS is employed to provide complementary molecular information on the ablated surfaces and interpretation of the MS is enabled by comparison with related analytical data (Zumbühl, et al. 1998, Dietemann 2003). Finally, SEC is employed to determine the molecular weight modifications across depth to support findings based on excimer laser ablation (Chapter 3) and ATR-FTIR (Section 4.3.2). Interpretation of the SEC traces was based on previous molecular weight studies of aged dammar films (De la Rie 1988b, Van der Doelen and Boon 2000).

5.2 Experimental 5.2.1 Direct temperature-resolved mass spectrometry The laser-ablated zones were examined with DTMS in order to investigate the potential molecular variation across the depth profile. From each zone a thin film of approximately 4 mm2 was mechanically subtracted, then homogenized and brought in suspension with a few drops of ethanol. A volume of 2-3 µl of the mixture was applied to a Pt/Rh (9:1) filament (100µm diameter) of a direct insertion probe, and dried in vacuo (using the Purevap) by evaporation of the ethanol. After insertion of the probe in the ionisation chamber a gradual temperature increase of the filament was set at a rate of 1A/min to a final temperature of approximately 800ºC, while the MS was monitoring the evolved compounds in electron ionisation (EI) or ammonia

chemical ionisation (NH3/CI) modes. The compounds were ionised at 16 eV energy in EI mode and 250 eV in NH3/CI mode, and analysed in a JEOL SX-102 double focusing mass spectrometer (B/E) over a mass range from 20-1000 Dalton at a cycle time of 1 s. The acceleration voltage was 8 kV. The total ion currents and summation mass spectra were examined. 5.2.2 Factor discriminant analysis (DA) EI-DTMS summation mass spectra were numerically analysed by factor discriminant analysis coupled with the FOMpyroMAP multivariate analysis program, that is a modified version of the ARHTUR package from Infometrix Inc. (Seattle, USA; 1978 release) and with FOM developed Matlab® (The Mathworks Inc., Natick, MA, USA) toolbox ChemomeTricks. The discrimination was based on a double stage component analysis (PCA) that is described elsewhere (Hoogerbrugge, et al. 1983). Mass spectra of triplicate (at least) measurements for each sample were inserted in the aforementioned software to enable discrimination. To minimise variance in the data due to variance in the mass spectrometer readings, the DT mass spectra of the same films were measured on the same day prior to DA analysis. 5.2.3 Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation Time-Of-Flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) Sampling was enabled with ethanol wetted minute TLC plates coated with cellulose that were simply brought in contact with the surface of the aged, unaged and laser ablated films. The samples were coated with a thin layer of 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB, Aldrich, Steinheim, Germany). A sample of neat DHB coating was also prepared for reference. The TLC plates were attached on the stainless steel MALDI

probe, which was then placed on the x-y-z translator of the TOF-MS system (BruckerFranzen Analytik, Bremen, Germany) for the appropriate orientation into the ionisation chamber (10-7 mbar) of the system. The ion source consists of positively or negatively charged metal electrode that is the MALDI probe and a grounded accelerating grid at a ~ 2 cm distance. The accelerating potential was 19.9 kV in the reflex mode. As soon as the vacuum lock was fastened the probe was in position to face the laser beam at an angle of 60º with respect to the surface normal. The nitrogen discharge (N2) laser (337 nm) used had a 4 ns pulse duration and a repetition rate of 12 Hz (Photon Technology PL2300). Manipulation of the sample was enabled by monitoring the ion source via a CCD camera. Processing was carried out with Bruker software (DataAnalysis for TOF 1.6.g). 5.2.4 High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatograph (HP-SEC) The study of the molecular weight changes, across the depth profiles of the light aged, laser ablated resin films was carried out with High Performance Size Exclusion Chromatography (HP-SEC). Unaged, aged and laser ablated samples were dissolved in THF (~10mg/µl) and centrifuged. An amount of 20 µl was analysed on a Shimadzu HP-SEC system, consisting of a SCL-10AD vp control panel, an LP-10AD vp pump, a DGU-14A degasser, a SIL-10AD vp autoinjector, a CTO-10AS column oven and a FRC-10A fraction collector (Shimadzu Benelux, ‘s-Hertogenbosch, The Netherlands). Two different detectors connected in series were used for the signal detection. These were a Shimadzu SPD-10A vp UV/VIS detector operated at 240 nm and a Shimadzu RID-10A refractive index detector in combination with a Shimadzu Class vp 5.03 software. The temperature in the system was 40ºC and the flow rate was 1ml/min.

Finally, calibration was carried out with polystyrene standards (Polymer Laboratories) with an average mass ranging from 580 to 370,000 Daltons.

5.3 Results and Discussion 5.3.1 DTMS of the laser-ablated depth-profiles of the aged dammar and mastic films Tables 5.3.1.1 and 5.3.1.2 present the lists of identified compounds in the aged and laser ablated dammar and mastic films with DTMS. It should be noted that because of the sampling and the subsequent dissolution of the aged films in ethanol for the technical requirements of sampling for DTMS, the final mass spectra provide average readings with respect to the abundance of these compounds across depth. Both the aged ~ 55 µm dammar and mastic films (Appendix 2.7) are basically a mixture of triterpenoids with oxidised A-rings at position C-2 (5, 7, 152, 17-20, 22 and 23), oxidised oleanane/ursane type triterpenoids at positions C-11 and C-28 (24-28) and a series of unreacted triterpenoids (1-16). According to the optical absorption lengths at various wavelengths (Figure 4.3.2.6), this mixture indicates that the aged dammar and mastic films can be divided in three different parts in their thicknesses; namely a surface section that absorbed the UV wavelengths of the incident radiation, a deeper part that absorbed only the visible radiation and an underlying part in the bulk at which the transmitted visible light was of low intensity, which combined with the absence of oxygen did not lead to the destruction of the triterpenoid molecules.

Compounds 5, 7 and 15 are typical oxidised dammarane type molecules with an A-ring opening at C2 (Mills and Werner 1955, Poehland, et al. 1987, De la Rie 1988a) and are present in triterpenoid resin films even prior to ageing (Van der Doelen, et al, 1998a, Dietemann 2003).

Figure 5.3.1.1 EI-DTMS TIC’s of laser-ablated depth steps of (a) aged dammar and (b) aged mastic

Figure 5.3.1.1 presents the electron ionisation (16 eV) total ion currents (EI-DTMSTIC’s) of the aged films prior to ablation and that of the laser ablated depth-steps after removal of 3.5, 15 and 20 µm from the aged dammar film and 3, 16 and 25 µm from the aged mastic film. The EI-DTMS-TIC’s of the unaged films are also presented for comparison reasons. The major shifts towards lower scan numbers across the successive depth-steps and especially of the volatile fraction that is desorbed via evaporation (Boon 1992) demonstrate that lower temperatures are required for sufficient desorption with depth. Consequently, the more material is removed from the surface of both aged varnish films the more volatile the remaining films become. The apparent shifts are so intense that after removal of 20 µm from the aged dammar and 25 µm from the aged mastic films the corresponding volatile fractions are evaporated with ~ 80% less heating compared to the temperatures that induced evaporation in the unaged and aged films prior to ablation. As discussed in Section 2.3, such shifts are 261

related to changes in the polarity (Figure 2.3.1) (Van der Doelen 1999, Scalarone, et al. 2003). Moreover, the lower peak that emerges at high scan numbers represents the high molecular weight, crosslinked and condensed fraction of the analysed samples that desorbs in the ionisation chamber via pyrolysis at high degrees of temperature (i.e. T > 450°C) (Boon 1992). In both cases, pyrolysis occurs at lower temperatures, while the corresponding peaks become weaker with depth indicating that the high MW fraction becomes less polar and is reduced as a function of depth. It should be noted that the pyrolysis peak gives only an estimation of the high MW fraction, because at high temperature windows (> ~500°C) thermally stable material is formed corresponding to breakage of more or stronger bonds (Boon 1992) (see also Section 2.3). Despite this complexity the pyrolysis event is used often as a good indicator of the high MW fraction of aged dammar and mastic resins (Van der Doelen 1999, Scalarone, et al. 2003). According to the EI-DTMS TIC’s then, light ageing of dammar and mastic films leads to lower degrees of oxidation, polarity and condensation or crosslinking as a function of depth. With regards to polarity this finding supports preliminary results across the laser ablated depth profile of hundred-year-old natural resin varnishes, according to which solubility increases as a function of depth (Section 1.4, Theodorakopoulos and Zafiropulos 2003). In this particular example, the polarity of the remaining varnish across the laser ablated depth-steps was reducing almost logarithmically in the deeper parts of the tested varnishes (Figure 1.4.1). A similar phenomenon is observed here. Figure 5.3.1.2 shows the % volatilisation shifts against the logarithm of the laser262

ablated depth-steps (lower xx’ axis) and the remaining film thickness (upper xx’ axis) (Table 5.3.1.3). The scan number of the EI-DTMS-TIC volatilisation peaks of the films prior to laser ablation was set as the maximum (100%). The corresponding plots quantify the shifts in the temperature windows that are responsible for the evaporation of the volatile fraction. An estimation of the degree of crosslinking versus depth is also provided based on the apex and broadness of the pyrolysis peak of the EI-DTMSTIC’s. However, the corresponding SEC traces are more accurate with respect to the molecular weight modifications across depth (Section 5.3.4). Given that both intensity and broadness of the pyrolysis peaks enclose significant information about molecular weight, the areas of the pyrolysis peaks were measured. The plots of the pyrolysed high MW condensed fractions as a function of depth are presented in Figure 5.3.1.3. It is observed that the crosslinking gradient performs two apparent trends with depth in both films tested. The first trend is terminated at 15 µm from surface and from that point inwards new trends commence, which tend to reach the degree of pyrolysis determined prior to ageing. The outlined jump in the plots after removal of 15 µm from surface coincides with the change of the ablation step using a KrF excimer laser Table 5.3.1.3 Data extracted from EI-DTMS TIC’s Laser ablated depth% Volatilization % Pyrolysis yield steps.

From a photomechanical point of view, excimer laser ablation of organic materials is dependent on the degree of polymerisation and crosslinking (Srinivasan and Braren 1989, Zafiropulos 2002). Thus, all the results

presented in the present work demonstrate that below the 15 µm surface layers neither of the aged dammar and mastic films is heavily crosslinked. Figures 5.3.1.4 and 5.3.1.5 present the ammonia chemical ionisation (NH3/CI) DTMS summation mass spectra of the aged dammar and mastic films prior to laser ablation (i), after removal of ~12 and 25 µm from surface (ii, iii) and prior to ageing (iv). The electron ionisation (EI) DTMS summation mass spectra of the aged films prior to ablation, after removal of increasingly thicker surface layers ranging from 3 to 25 µm, and prior to ageing are presented in Figures 5.3.1.6 (dammar) and 5.3.1.7 (mastic). In NH3/CI mode (250 eV) ammonia adduct molecular ions [M+NH4]+, [M+H]+ and [M+NH4-H2O]+ cations are obtained resulting in molecular weight information, while in EI mode (16 eV) minor fragmentation is obtained resulting in structural and more detailed information. Interpretation of the mass spectra was based on earlier DTMS studies (Van der Doelen, et al. 1998a, Van der Doelen 1999, Van der Doelen and Boon 2000, Scalarone, et al. 2003), as well as on GC/MS and HPLC-MS (Van der Doelen, et al. 1998a, Van der Doelen, et al. 1998b). The most characteristic molecular ions and ion fragments of the identified compounds are presented in Tables 5.3.1.1 and 5.3.1.2. Details of the incorporated compounds (Figure 2.2.1) and the ion fragments thereof are given in Section 2.3. It is demonstrated that the thicker the layer removed from the highly deteriorated surfaces, the more the molecular configuration of the remaining films tends to resemble the composition of the resins prior to ageing. The depth-dependent shift towards a less oxidative state is evident even after removal of only 3.5 and 3 µm from the aged dammar and mastic films respectively, although the molecular changes are 265

more obvious with increasing depth. The unreacted compounds observed are the dammarane type triterpenoids (3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) with EI marker peaks at m/z 109, 143, 424 and NH3/CI marker peaks at m/z 442, 446, 478 and the oleanane/ ursane triterpenoids (1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12) with EI marker peaks at m/z 189, 203, 204, 248, 409, 410 and NH3/CI marker peaks at m/z 428, 456, 472. These marker peaks are evidently increasing with depth. Although both types of triterpenoids are contained in both dammar and mastic, molecules with the dammarane skeleton are more abundant than those with the oleanane / ursane skeleton in dammar resin, while the opposite occurs in mastic resin. The recovery of the ion fragments corresponding to these marker compounds is more impressive in dammar, because of the abrupt reduction of the triterpenoid compounds that is observed in dammar resin upon ageing (Section 2.3.1, Van der Doelen, et al. 1998a, Van der Doelen 1999, Scalarone, et al. 2003). Oxidised compounds such as the oleanane / ursane type molecules with the A-ring opening at position C-2 (17/18, 19/20 for dammar and 18/22, 20/23 for mastic) with EI marker peaks at m/z 428, 472 and NH3/CI marker peaks at m/z 446, 490, which are in trace amounts in the aged films prior to ablation seem to disappear after removal of the uppermost 15 µm in both cases. Since these particular compounds are only formed upon UV irradiation during accelerated ageing (Van der Doelen, et al. 2000), it is indicated that the UV wavelengths of the incident radiation do not penetrate deeper than a 15 µm surface zone of the films. This finding is in a very good agreement with the optical absorption lengths, lα, determined for the aged dammar and mastic films tested (Figure 4.3.2.6), showing that both films absorb completely the incident

The DTMS summation mass spectra also detect traces of some oleanane / ursane type molecules oxidised at positions C-11 and C-28, which are listed in Tables 5.3.1.1 and 5.3.1.2 as compounds 25-28 for dammar and 25 and 26 for mastic.

oxidation (Figure 2.2.2b, Van der Doelen, et al. 1998a). Marker peaks of these particular oxidation products (24-28) are monitored at m/z 234, 317, 414, 482 in the EI mode and at m/z 432, 458, 486 in the NH3/CI mode. These particular oxidation products have been detected by Van der Doelen and co-workers (1998a, 1999) in aged varnishes sampled from a large number of paintings kept in several galleries and museums. These products are reproducible in dammar and mastic resins upon light ageing excluding UV wavelengths or using an elaborate ageing process involving dissolution of the resins in a mixture of solvents with photosensitisers followed by irradiation in a fluorescent tube device (Van der Doelen and Boon 2000). Judged from the relative intensity of the corresponding m/z marker peaks, the abundance of these compounds is found to be equivalent to that of the UV-induced oxidation products with the oxidised A-rings in both the aged dammar and mastic 55 µm films prior to ablation (Tables 2.3.5 and 2.3.6). The marker peaks of the non-UV induced oxidation products 24-28 are in particular notable in the summation MS of the remaining films after removal of the 15 µm highly deteriorated surface layers. Some (minor) traces are also observed in the films even prior to ageing, indicating that the films prior to ageing were somewhat oxidised, as shown in Section 2.3. According to the presented data, the molecular changes are apparent by monitoring the gradual recovery of the abundances of the ion fragments corresponding to the unreacted, non-oxidised dammarane (3, 4, 5, 6 and 7) and oleanane / ursane type triterpenoids (1, 2, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12) with depth. The molecular changes are less pronounced in the uppermost 15 µm, which absorb highly the UV wavelengths of the incident radiation. Strong molecular changes between surface and deeper parts of the

272

C. Theodorakopoulos

Chapter 5


films are observed after the removal of the highly deteriorated surface layers, especially in the case of dammar, where after removal of 20 µm from surface the characteristic ion fragments of the unreacted compounds produce relative intensities comparable to those of the same film prior to ageing. After removal of 25 µm from the surface of the aged mastic film the ion peak m/z 143, which is the characteristic ion fragment of the ocotillone type molecules, such as compound 7, decreases, indicating that the dammarane type molecules and their oxidation products influence the composition of mastic less than that of dammar. This is a genuine characteristic of mastic resin since the oleanane / ursane molecules are more abundant than the dammarane ones (Van der Doelen, et al. 1998a, Van der Doelen 1999, Scalarone, et al. 2003). The demonstrated molecular changes across the depth-profiles of the aged films determine that with increasing depth the composition of the films is gradually shifted towards a less deteriorated state similar to that prior to ageing. These findings are in a very good agreement with the results of the excimer laser ablation (Chapter 3), the laser induced transmission, the UV/VIS and the ATR-FTIR measurements (Chapter 4). 5.3.2 Multivariant Factor Discriminant Analysis (DA) of the DTMS data across the depth-profiles of the aged dammar and mastic films. The observation of the depth-dependent compositional gradients in the evidently complex DTMS summation mass spectra of the aged dammar and mastic films basically allows a qualitative demonstration of the molecular changes across depth. Multivariant factor discriminant analysis (DA) (Hoogerbrugge, et al. 1983, Windig, et al. 1983) was employed to quantify the modifications observed via the multivariate

The DTMS mass spectra of the unaged films are also included, so that the two opposite compositional cases, i.e. aged-unaged, would mark the discrimination boundaries of the inserted analytical data. In short, judging from the molecular ions of the identified compounds that are listed in Tables 5.3.1.1 and 5.3.1.2, DA analysis shows that across the thickness of dammar, oleanane / ursane molecules 1 and 2, i.e. [M]+· = 410, and the dammarane molecules 3, 4 and 6, i.e. [M]+· = 424, 426, 442 respectively, peak intensely at the negative side of DF1. The characteristic and commonly most abundant ion fragments of the oleanane and ursane molecules 8, 9, 11 and 12, such as m/z 189, 203 and 409, peak at the negative DF1 side. The molecular ions of the latter compounds, i.e. [M]+· = 454 for 8, 9 and [M]+· = 438 for 11, 12 and the characteristic ion fragment at m/z 248, peak at the positive side of DF1, possibly due to overlapping with ion fragments of oxidation products of these molecules. The molecular ions of the UV-induced oxygenated products with the characteristic A-ring openings, i.e., 17/18, ([M]+· = 428), 19/20 ([M]+· = 472) and 21 ([M]+· = 460), peak weakly at the positive DF1 side. Similarly, m/z 234, 317, 414 and 482 representing the non-UV-induced oxidation products (24, 25, 26, 27 and 28) peak in the negative side of DF1. The molecular ions of oxygenated compounds 5, 7 ([M]+· = 458) and 15 ([M]+· = 474) with oxidised A-rings at C-2, which are also detected in the composition of unaged dammar (Mills and Werner 1955, Poehland, et al. 1987, De la Rie 1988a), peak weakly at the positive DF1 side.

m/z 399 (7) and the ionic fragment m/z 143 derived from the ocotillone side chain (7, 15) peak at the negative DF1 side. The first discriminant function mass spectrum of the corresponding EI-DTMS mass spectra of mastic is somewhat different compared to the DA results of dammar. In agreement with the DA analysis of dammar, oleanane molecule 1, i.e. [M]+· = 410, and the dammarane type molecules 3 and 6, i.e. [M]+· = 424, 442 respectively, peak intensely at the negative side of DF1. In contrast to dammar, the molecular ions of the oleanane type molecules 8, 10 ([M]+· = 454) and 11 ([M]+· = 438), peak at the negative DF1 side, confirming that these molecules are abundant throughout the depth of mastic. The same molecular ion with that of 8 and 10 corresponds to (iso)masticadienonic acid (13), the abundant presence of which is monitored at the intense marker peak m/z 439 on the negative DF1 side. Compound 14, which has an ionic fragment at m/z 438 that is also the molecular ion of 11, does not seem to play any significant role in the final discriminant analysis, since its molecular ion at m/z 498 coincides with the DF1 axis. The same occurs with m/z 163 that is characteristic of compound 16, although m/z 191, also corresponding to 16, peaks clearly at the negative DF1 side. In addition, the molecular ion of compounds 5 and 7 ([M]+· = 458) peaks at the positive DF1 side as in the case of dammar. The ionic fragments of these compounds, characteristic of their dammarane skeletons, i.e. m/z 109 and 440 for 5 and m/z 143, 399 for 7, peak at the negative side, although their relative intensity is lower than that in dammar. Finally, the molecular ions of the UV-induced oxidised triterpenoids 18/22, 20/23 (m/z 428, 472) and the marker peaks of the non-UV-induced oxidation

products 24, 25, 26 (m/z 414, 234, 276 and 482) peak weakly at the positive DF1 side, since these compounds are found in traces across the depth of the aged mastic film. Figure 5.3.2.2 presents the plots of the MS data points as coordinates in the score map of the first discriminant function (DF1) versus the second discriminant function (DF2). The geometric distance between the data points is an accepted measure of the demonstrated compositional differences (Hoogerbrugge, et al. 1983, Windig, et al. 1983). Therefore this distance is utilised here to illustrate the chemical changes across the depth-profiles of the tested films. The gradual shifts of the data points across DF1 represent the compositional gradient that is observed with the EI-DTMS mass spectra. The data points from the lower to the higher numbers correspond to the consecutive depth-steps from the surface towards the bulk, while the highest numbers represent the MS data of the resins prior to ageing. Figure 5.3.2.3 demonstrates the data points along DF1 as a function of depth for the ~ 55 µm, aged dammar and mastic films. Both cases reveal a remarkable compositional gradient, which decreases from the surface. These results quantify the molecular modifications observed with DTMS and verify previous findings on the excimer laser ablation (Theodorakopoulos and Zafiropulos 2003, Theodorakopoulos, et al. 2005, Chapter 3) and the determined gradients in the optical properties characteristics of both films across depth (Zafiropulos, et al. 2000, Section 4.3.2). Although the delineated trends of the aged dammar and mastic films are not similar, there is a very significant common characteristic. As shown in Figure 5.3.2.2, DA analysis placed the origin of DF1 coordinate at a depth corresponding to 15 µm from the original aged surfaces. This is not irrelevant with the change of the ablative interaction upon 248 278

crosslinking of the laser irradiated material (Srinivasan 1994), these findings indicate that the 15 µm depth from surface of both the aged dammar and mastic films is the threshold between highly and poorly deteriorated material. This finding supports earlier findings by De la Rie (1988b), who determined that 10 µm dammar films deteriorate more than thicker films aged under the same conditions. It should be also noted that the data points corresponding to the deepest laser-ablated depth-steps (2025 µm from surface) emerge near the data points of the unaged films. Given that the total film thicknesses were of the order of 55 µm, it should be expected that below a depth of 25 µm from the original surface the composition of the films would eventually become identical to that prior to ageing. 5.3.3 Matrix assisted laser desorption/ionisation (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) MS Some quantification of the molecular changes – resulting in the compositional depthdependent gradients – of the aged dammar and mastic films was obtained with MFDA based on the DTMS data. However, the changes monitored provided mean compositional information because the samples required for the DTMS analysis contained the remaining films. MALDI-TOF-MS, using 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) as the matrix, was carried out to shed light on the composition of the ablated surfaces of the successive depth-steps across the thicknesses of the aged dammar and mastic films (Figure 5.3.3.1). Unfortunately, the low signal-to-noise ratio of the mass spectra obtained did not permit analysis of mastic and all of the depth steps of

observed that with the present MALDI-TOF-MS technique the interference of DHB is minimal, while all the m/z peaks generated correspond to the material on the TLC plates. Hence, the low signal-to-noise ratio is most likely ascribed to the minimal subtraction of resin from the TLC plate. This phenomenon has been observed to be typical of the highly aged resin films (AMOLF, internal report). In the present work crucial conclusions were drawn from the mass spectra at the surface of the aged dammar film prior to ablation, the surface of the remaining film after removal of 15 µm and the surface of the unaged dammar resin. The identification of the mass peaks is tentative and proposed by comparison with data from the

281

literature (Zumbühl, et al. 1998, Dietemann 2003). A representative mass / charge range observed in the MALDI-TOF mass spectra is within m/z 450 to 510, at which the sodiated ions [M+Na]+ of unreacted and oxidised triterpenoids are discriminated from the corresponding ion peaks of DHB (Zumbühl, et al. 1998). However, even within this range there are several m/z peaks attributed to DHB (marked with M in Figure 5.3.3.1), which can potentially interfere with the sodiated molecular ions of characteristic triterpenoid compounds (Zumbühl, et al. 1998). A relatively intense peak of DHB is at m/z 451 (not shown), where the sodiated molecular ions of UVinduced oxidation products 17/18 (428 Da, Tables 5.3.1.1, 5.3.1.2) with oxidised Arings are detected (Dietemann 2003). Other overlapping DHB mass / charges are at m/z 461 prohibiting detection of oleanonic and ursonic aldehydes 11/12 (438 Da), and m/z 477 that coincided with [M+Na]+ of oleanonic and ursonic acids, 8/9 (454 Da) (Dietemann 2003). The highest DHB peak within the examined range was at m/z 480 near a marker peak of dammarenolic acid, 5 (458 Da) at m/z 481 due to the [M+Na]+ (Dietemann 2003). In the unaged dammar film surface (Figure 5.3.3.1iv) peaks a, c, f and g at m/z 465, 481, 497 and 497.7 are discriminated respectively. Peak a at m/z 465 is assigned to the sodiated molecular ion of hydroxydammarenone (6) (442 + 23 = 465), c at m/z 481 to [M+Na]+ of dammarenolic acid, 5 (458 Da), and f at m/z 497 to [M+Na]+ of compound 15 (474 Da) (Dietemann 2003). Peak g at m/z 497.7 is attributed to the molecular ion of an oxidised dammarenolic acid 5, [M+Na+O]+, i.e 458+23+16 = 497 (Zumbühl, et al. 1998). Some changes compared to the MALDI MS of the unaged dammar film are monitored in the mass spectrum of the aged film surface (Figure 5.3.3.1ii). It is shown that the

282

C. Theodorakopoulos

Chapter 5


sodiated molecular ion peak of hydroxydammarenone, 6 (m/z 465, a) is less intense than in the unaged film. This is in good correspondence with the DTMS data showing that there is an abundance reduction of dammarane type triterpenoids upon ageing (Van der Doelen, et al. 1998a). Dammarenolic acid, 5, is recognised by marker peaks, m/z 481, c, which is attributed to [M+Na]+, and m/z 497.7, g, which is attributed to [M+Na+O]+, with the latter peak being more intense compared to the unaged dammar film. The high intensity at m/z 497 (f) indicates that the dammarane type degradation compound 15, which is generated during the biosynthesis of triterpenoid resins upon sunlight irradiation during exudation from the tree (Koller, et al. 1997, Dietemann 2003), is also abundant in the aged film. In the surface of the aged dammar film there are some peaks, such as m/z 467 (b), 483 (d), 495 (e) and 499 (h), which are not detected prior to ageing. These peaks correspond to the sodiated molecular ions of dammarenediol with a molecular weight of 444 Da (Mills and Werner 1955, Mills 1956, Poehland, et al. 1987, De la Rie 1988a), which was not reported in the present DTMS study, (b: 444 + 23 = 467), dihydro-dammarenolic acid 21, (460 Da, d: 460 + 23 = 483), the UV-induced oleanane / ursane seco-products with oxidised A-rings 19/20, (472 Da, e: 472 + 23 = 495) and 20,24-epoxy-25-hydroxy-3,4-seco-dammaran3-oic acid that is a UV-induced dammarane type seco-product with a molecular weight of 476 Da (Van der Doelen, et al. 2000, Scalarone, et al. 2003). The sodiated molecular ion of this particular compound peaks at m/z 499 (476 + 23), h. The MALDI MS of the film after the removal of the 15 µm surface layers is shown in Figure 5.3.3.1iii. It is observed that the marker peaks of the UV-induced secoproducts, at m/z 483, 495, 499 (d, e, h) are not present at this particular depth. Instead,

283

C. Theodorakopoulos

Chapter 5


peaks at m/z 463 and m/z 491 (i and j respectively) emerge, which are not detected in the mass spectrum of the aged or on the surface of the unaged dammar. These peaks represent the sodiated molecular ions of the oxidation compounds 25/27 (440 Da) and 26/28 (468 Da) respectively (Dietemann 2003). These are typical compounds formed upon oxidation of oleanane/ursane triterpenoids in the absence of UV wavelengths and have been reported in aged dammar varnishes on paintings (Van der Doelen, et al. 1998a, Van der Doelen 1999). This finding is in line with the decreasing number of carbonyl groups according to the ATR-FTIR measurements (Section 4.3.3), as well as with the decreasing optical densities determined with the UV/VIS measurements (Section 4.3.2). Given that the optical absorption lengths, lα , of both the aged dammar and mastic films at λ > 350 nm are longer than 15 µm from the surface (Figure 4.3.2.6), it is suggested herein that A-ring oxidation occurs under irradiation with λ < 350 nm. This suggestion agrees with findings by Van der Doelen and co-workers (1999, 2000), who determined the A-ring oxidation upon irradiation with λ > 315 nm and the non-UV-induced oxidation upon irradiation with λ > 380 nm. Regardless of the wavelengths employed, it is demonstrated here that the bulk of aged dammar and mastic films is protected from UV irradiation anyway. 5.3.4 A study on the molecular weight across depth of aged dammar and mastic films with High Performance - Size Exclusion Chromatography (HP-SEC) Although a decreasing gradient in the condensed, high molecular weight fraction of the aged dammar and mastic films was indicated with the weakening of the EI-DTMS TIC’s pyrolysis peak with depth (Figure 5.3.1.3), size exclusion chromatography was carried out to determine depth-wise molecular weight changes. Interpretation was

carried out using earlier SEC studies of triterpenoid varnishes (De la Rie 1988b, Van der Doelen 1999). De la Rie (1988b) used Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC), which is a synonymous method to SEC, and determined an average increase in the molecular weight of accelerated aged dammar resins up to 1500 Da. Zumbühl and coworkers (1998) also reached the same conclusion measuring the mass/charges of light aged dammar films on the basis of GALDI/MS. Van der Doelen and co-workers (1999, 2000), used SEC with UV (240 nm) and VIS (400 nm) detectors to detect compatibility of naturally aged varnishes and accelerated aged resins. In the present work, SEC traces at 240 and 400 nm of the unaged, aged and laser ablated dammar and mastic films were studied to detect MW changes across depth. The same quantity of material was used from all the films tested and dissolved in THF (~10mg/µl), while about 20 µl of the prepared solutions were injected in the column. It was therefore expected that the final chromatograms would provide information about the molecular weight distribution across depth as a function of the absolute absorbance at 240 and 400 nm. However, this was not possible because of the depth-dependent gradients of the optical properties of the aged films (Figures 4.3.2.1b, 4.3.2.2b), which affected the intensities of the resulting SEC traces accordingly. Therefore, all the SEC traces were normalised at a % relative absorption. Figure 5.3.4.1 presents the SEC traces at 240 and 400 nm of the dammar film prior to and after accelerated ageing. The molecular weight increase upon ageing is evident with both detectors. Absorption at both wavelengths is separated in a small fraction of sesquiterpenoids (~ 200 Da), the group of triterpenoid molecules (400/500 Da), which being the most abundant compounds absorb strongly, a small fraction of dimerised

and oxidised triterpenoid molecules (900/1000 Da) and traces of the condensed high MW fraction at 10 kDa, that are mainly formed upon the radical polymerisation of polycadinene (Van Aarssen, et al. 1990). The highest absorption at 240 nm of the aged dammar film is obtained at 900/1000 Da, while the triterpenoid molecules (400/500 Da) absorb slightly less than their dimers, forming a double peak within the range 400 to 1000 Da. This double peak broadens towards the higher MW regime, up to 15 kDa. Absorption of the ~ 200 Da group is critically reduced upon ageing indicating that both low MW components and triterpenoid molecules participate in the formation of longer molecular chains during degradation or that the low MW fraction escaped the film (Boon and van der Doelen 1999). The SEC trace at 400 nm of the aged film shows that the group of molecules absorbing intensely in the blue have a molecular weight in the order of 400 Da. This MW points to triterpenoid molecules, while the second intense peak at 800/900 Da shows that oxidised and dimerised triterpenoids absorb strongly in the blue region. SEC traces of aged varnishes from paintings at 400 nm detected a MW increase absorbing strongly at molecular weights greater than 1000 Da, while artificially aged dammar resins in solution absorbed intensely at ~ 2000 Da with shoulders at higher molecular weights (Van der Doelen 1999, Van der Doelen and Boon 2000). This mass increase was associated with yellowing. In the present work, the strongest absorption in the blue was obtained at 400 Da.

Figure 5.3.4.2 demonstrates the SEC traces at 240 nm of consecutive depth-steps down to 15 µm from the surface of the aged dammar film and the SEC trace of the same dammar film prior to ageing. It is observed that the molecular weight across the highly deteriorated surface layers of the aged dammar film does not change significantly, which is in agreement with the intense carbon dimer emission upon 248 nm laser ablation (Figure 3.3.4.2) as well as with the constant ablation step in the 15 µm surface layers (Figure 3.3.5.3). The results agree also with the DTMS data of the 15 µm surface layers of the aged dammar film, showing that there is little change in the abundance of the mass/charges corresponding to the triterpenoid molecules, (400/500 Da). A small shoulder peak, increasing at about 200 Da on the SEC traces at 240 nm (Figure 5.3.4.2) of the ablated depth-steps, indicates the presence of some low MW products with depth, which eventually escape in the atmosphere (Boon and van der Doelen 1999). Figure 5.3.4.3 shows the SEC traces of the same depth-steps of the

of the triterpenoid compounds (400/500 Da), which is related to oxidation. Second, there is an abrupt decrease in the absorption from the crosslinked fraction of the dimerised triterpenoids (900 Da). These products participate in the formation of yellow compounds absorbing strongly in the blue and are responsible for the colouration effect in the aged dammar (Van der Doelen and Boon 2000). The decrease in the absorption at 400 nm between the aged surface and the layers below, especially at 900 Da, indicates a decreasing degree of yellowing with depth, which has been determined in laser ablated aged varnishes on paintings (Theodorakopoulos and Zafiropulos 2003, Section 1.4). 100

Figure 5.3.4.4 presents the SEC traces of mastic prior to and after ageing at 240 nm and 400 nm. At 240 nm the unaged film absorbs strongly at 400 Da owing to the triterpenoid molecules. There is a shoulder peak at ~ 1000 Da caused by oxidised triterpenoid dimers and an apparent hump at ~ 10 kDa that represents a condensed fraction of mastic. At 400 nm the unaged film absorbs strongly at ~ 300 Da owing to

289

C. Theodorakopoulos

Chapter 5


unsaturated triterpenoid ketones and quinones (Formo 1979) that are responsible for yellowing (Figure 2.2.4). The fraction of 1000 Da absorbs less intensely at 400 nm than at 240 nm, while there is also a small fraction at 10 kDa that absorbs the radiation equally at both wavelengths. Upon ageing absorption due to triterpenoids molecules (~400 Da) is strong in both wavelengths, but a shift towards higher MW indicates oxidation. The increased absorption at 1000 Da (240 nm) and ~ 900 Da (400 nm), indicates the increasing concentration in oxidised triterpenoid dimers (De la Rie 1988b). The broadening of the peaks suggests the existence of triterpenoid trimers, tetramers and longer crosslinked chains that appear as shoulders at 10 kDa. Absorption at 400 nm is relatively strong from about 3000 Da to almost 80 kDa compared to the SEC trace at 240 nm. According to Van der Doelen and Boon (2000) these long molecules absorb strongly in the blue and are responsible for the yellowing effect of the triterpenoid varnishes. Indeed, unlike the aged dammar film, the aged mastic film obtained a stronger yellow hue after several weeks in the dark following an extreme light ageing procedure, which initially bleached the yellow chromophores (Chapter 2). Therefore, the depth-dependent molecular weight decrease of the aged mastic film is better illustrated with the SEC chromatograms at 400 nm (Figure 5.3.4.5). The SEC traces of the unaged mastic film and the aged film prior to ablation are shown for reasons of comparison. It is observed that there is an evident gradient in the absorption from the high MW fraction across depth. In particular, the abundances of the 900/1000 Da components and the condensed fraction in the high MW regime up to 80 kDa are gradually decreasing with depth. As in the case of DTMS, sampling for SEC included the remaining varnish film (total thickness ~ 55 µm) resulting in average molecular weight determination of the remaining films. Therefore, the 290

5.4 Rationalisation of triterpenoid varnish ageing Recently an ageing model of triterpenoid varnishes has been proposed (Boon and van der Doelen 1999). The model was based on experimental observations of molecular studies carried out with GCMS and LCMS analysis of fresh and aged triterpenoid varnishes and orientational studies on sterols, which have comparable carbon skeletal ring structures as the triterpenoid molecules. In view of the current mass spectrometric and chromatographic analytical data based on DTMS, MALDI-MS, HP-SEC, UV/VIS and ATR-FTIR (Chapter 4) on successive depths of the excimer laser ablated triterpenoid films, an updated schematic model on the degradation of these varnishes is proposed. The current findings are integrated into the previous model, aiming at a better understanding of the nature of aged triterpenoid varnishes. In line with the 291

previous model (Boon and van der Doelen 1999), we assume the existence of a considerable degree of orientation of the triterpenoid molecules forming flat sheet-like structures on a molecular level before the degradation process begins. A first phase in triterpenoid varnish degradation corresponds to photoinitiation and the early oxidation stages. As soon as the varnish is exposed to light, the triterpenoid molecules lying on the surface varnish layers absorb the short wavelengths of the incident ambient radiation and hence the longer wavelengths (λ > 350 nm) are transmitted to the triterpenoids in the bulk. In line with Beer’s Law, absorption of light from the resin compounds reduces logarithmically across the depth of the film. The depth-dependent qualitative and quantitative reduction of light leads to decreasing degrees of excitation. Thus, the free radicals formed across depth are quenching as the light propagates deeper into the bulk. Given the findings in the present work it is understood that the free radicals in the surface layers are more abundant than in the bulk because more intense bond-breakage occurs in the surface. Certainly, the presence of oxygen and the mobility of the radicals into the triterpenoid films play a significant role in the degradation process and the delineated quenching with depth. The excited molecules and the free radicals generate new covalent bonds between each other forming so new high molecular weight compounds. Because of the gradient in light propagation (Chapter 4), the extent of this condensation process decreases accordingly with depth. At the same time, the oxygen diffusion from the air-surface interface into the bulk is also decreasing (Thomson 1965, 1979), thereby leading to high degrees of functionalisation on the surface layers and oxygen depletion in the bulk. Because of 292

the absorption of the short wavelengths (λ < 350 nm) from the surface layers only, different oxidation products are formed in the surface and the deeper layers, which is supported by the existence of A-ring oxidation at C-2 in the surface layers and oleanane / ursane type molecules oxidised at C-11 and C-12 in the bulk (Section 5.3.3). The degree of oxygen consumption across depth is important for the propagation reactions (Section 2.2), which originally are initiated in an decreasing rate across the depth profile of the film (top to bottom) (Schoolenberg and Vink 1991). Hence, depending on the degree and the type of oxidation, water molecules are attracted by the oxidised triterpenoids across the film thickness. This attraction leads to hydrogen bonding between the polar groups and the water molecules creating weak hydrogen bonded ‘crosslinks’ (Boon and van der Doelen 1999), the abundance of which decreases with depth. The sheet-like orientations of the triterpenoid compounds are disturbed, especially at the surface, as soon as these structural modifications take place from the first stages of degradation. Both types of crosslinking reduce the mobility of the triterpenoid compounds especially on the surface, thereby leading to surface stiffness, the degree of which is accordingly reducing with depth. At the same time an equivalent gradient in polarity across thickness is also formed. At a second phase, the varnish proceeds to further degradation that is led by further oxygen consumption, bond breaking and polymerisation processes. The already modified triterpenoid molecules at the uppermost layers of the film are further degraded forming smaller molecular species, which no more have the characteristic triterpenoid carbon ring skeleton, as determined by analytical data based on GC and HPLC (Van der Doelen, et al. 1998b, Boon and van der Doelen 1999). The high

293

degree of functionalisation of the triterpenoids at the surface results in even stronger absorption of the short wavelengths by the outer layers, which prevents penetration of UV wavelengths into the bulk. The overall propagation of light into the film is shortened further and Beer’s Law is no longer valid for all the film thickness because of the abrupt optical changes across depth. This is now well understood, because of the decreasing trends of the absorption coefficients progressing into the depths of aged mastic and dammar films (Section 4.3.2) (Zafiropulos, et al. 2000). According to the previous theoretical model on triterpenoid ageing, small degradation products, such as functionalised carbon compounds (aldehydes, ketones and acids) yielded from bond breaking and ring disintegration, escape to the atmosphere (Boon and van der Doelen 1999). At the same time bond-breakage, excitations and oxygen consumption is continued gradually in the underlying layers although all trends would be decreasing with time (Thomson 1965, 1979). Hence, further attraction of water molecules is consistent with the degree and the depth of oxygen consumption across the depth-profile. Crosslinked fractions have reduced molecular weight with depth. Crosslinks at the surface may well contain more polar that apolar groups, changing gradually the plasticity of the varnish at the exposed surface. A final phase corresponds to further degradation of highly deteriorated triterpenoid varnish. Elimination reactions in the high molecular weight condensed fractions may lead to formation of aromatic centres, further influencing the light absorbing properties of the surface layers. On the surface, residual polar triterpenoid and polar parts of high molecular weight species are linked with water molecules. The high concentration of the three dimensional covalent-bonded polymer network may lead to

a certain degree of insolubility of the surface layers. Further exposure to radiation leads to depolymerisation of the surface by continuous bond-breakage resulting from excitation of the absorbing functional groups attached to the condensed surface layers. On the other hand, the bulk is preserved in a somewhat ‘unaged’ state, since all the deteriorative actions are carried out in the uppermost layers. Both the extent of polarity and crosslinking in the deep layers are comparable to that of the starting film, protecting the substrate from the deteriorative consequences of the ambient conditions.

5.5 Conclusions In conclusion, deterioration of dammar and mastic varnish films formed upon ageing is critically dependent on their thicknesses. Based on the results shown above it is determined that thick dammar and mastic films protect photosensitive substrates from deteriorative UV light wavelengths and from exposure to oxygen, preserving them in the best possible condition for a considerable lifetime. The transition from the highly degraded surface to the less reacted or even unreacted bulk layers, is a matter of a depth-dependent gradient both in terms of oxidation, as shown herein with DTMS, and in terms of the photochemically induced high MW condensed material, detected by HP-SEC. The presented results support all the findings demonstrated above on the change of the interaction of the aged resin films with the UV laser photons (Figures 3.3.2.2, 3.3.2.4, 3.3.3.1), the decreasing carbon dimer emission upon consecutive laser pulses (Figures 3.3.4.2a, b), the reduction of the ablation step (Figure 3.3.5.3), the change of the laser-induced transmission rate (Figures 4.3.1.2.2a, b, 4.3.1.2.4), the decreasing optical densities (Figures 4.3.2.1b, 4.3.2.2b, 4.3.2.4b) and the decreasing

number of carbonyls (Figures 4.3.3.2i, ii, 4.3.3.3a, b, 4.3.3.4) as a function of depth, on the molecular level. Oxidation not only reduces gradually as a function of depth, but the transition from highly oxidative and polar states in the surface towards nonoxidative states in the bulk is, in addition, qualitative. Based on the MALDI-TOF-MS results, it is determined herein that UV-induced oxygenated triterpenoid compounds, such as oleanane / ursane type molecules with oxidised A-rings (Figure 2.2.2c), are formed only in the 15 µm surface layers despite the fact that both the 55 µm films tested were irradiated with light of λ > 295 nm for about 500 hours (Section 2.7.2.2). At less than 15 µm below surface only oleanane / ursane type molecules with side chain oxidation at positions C-11 and C-28 (Figure 2.2.2b); these are detected as typical compounds of oxidised varnishes found in paintings (Van der Doelen, et al 1998a). This finding is in line with the optical absorption lengths of light with λ < 350 nm that is completely absorbed in the 15 µm surface layers (Figure 4.3.2.6), which indicates that wavelengths shorter than 350 nm are responsible for the A-ring oxidation. Hence, wavelengths longer than 350 nm penetrate in the deeper layers of the film, as also shown in Figure 4.3.2.6. Similar results have been reported by (Feller 1994b), who noted that the penetration depth of 350 nm radiation is ten times that of 320 nm into aromatic polyester films. Although oxidation is considered as the main problem of natural resin varnishes (Section 2.2), the decreasing gradient in the high MW condensed fraction that is formed during photochemical degradation should not be underestimated. Provided that high MW crosslinks are insoluble (Stolow 1985, De la Rie 1988b), the suggestion that upon chemical treatments only the volatile compounds are removed and the condensed material remains on the treated surface (Boon and van der Doelen 1999) is fully supported here. As discussed in Section 296

2.2.2, this potential influences the appearance of the substrate, especially if this is paint, because of the overall rise of the MW and the high viscosity (De la Rie 1987, Berns and De la Rie 2002, 2003) formed in the new varnish, which eventually will be integrated with the high MW condensed fraction of the older varnish that remains on the surface. This possibility and the fact that no oxidative contribution of the 248 nm laser pulses to the remaining films was detected is a good argument for the excimer laser ablation of aged varnish films.
