A method is proposed for analyzing the steady-state response of nonlinear dynamic systems. The method iterates to obtain the discrete Fourier transform of the system response, returning to the time domain at each iteration to take advantage of the ease in evaluating nonlinearities there—rather than analytically describing the nonlinear terms in the frequency domain. The updated estimates of the nonlinear terms are transformed back into the frequency domain in order to continue iterating on the frequency spectrum of the steady-state response. The method is demonstrated by solving a problem with friction damping in which the excitation has multiple discrete frequencies.

AbstractThe steady-state response to periodic excitation in the linear fractional vibration system was considered by using the fractional derivative operator . First we investigated the response to the harmonic excitation in the form of complex exponential function. The amplitude-frequency relation and phase-frequency relation were derived. The effect of the fractional derivative term on the stiffness and damping was discussed. For the case of periodic excitation, we decompose the periodic excitation into a superposition of harmonic excitations by using the Fourier series, and then utilize the results for harmonic excitations and the principle of superposition, where our adopted tactics avoid appearing a fractional power of negative numbers to overcome the difficulty in fractional case. Finally we demonstrate the proposed method by three numerical examples.

The stability properties of periodic steady state response of a nonlinear geared rotordynamic system are investigated. The nonlinearity arises because one support of the system includes a cavitated squeeze film damper, while the excitation is caused by mass unbalance. The dynamical model and the procedure which leads to periodic steady state response of the system examined have been developed in an earlier paper. Here, the emphasis is placed on analyzing the stability characteristics of located periodic solutions. Also, within ranges of the excitation frequency where no stable periodic solutions are detected, the long time behavior of the system is investigated by direct integration of the equations of motion. It is shown that large order subharmonic, quasiperiodic and chaotic motions may coexist with unstable periodic response in these frequency ranges. Finally, attention is focused on practical consequences of these motions.
