We present a technique for using constant-gain linear position feedback control to implement eigen-structure assignment of n-degrees-of-freedom conservative structural systems with piecewise linear nonlinearities. We employ three distinct control strategies which utilize methods for approximating the nonlinear normal mode (NNM) frequencies and mode shapes. First, the piecewise modal method (PMM) for approximating NNM frequencies is used to determine n constant actuator gains for eigenvalue (pole) placement. Secondly, eigenvalue placement is accomplished by finding an approximate single-degree-of-freedom reduced model with one actuator gain for the mode to be controlled. The third strategy allows the frequencies and mode shapes (eigenstructure) to be placed by using a full n × n matrix of actuator gains and employing the local equivalent linear stiffness method (LELSM) for approximating NNM frequencies and mode shapes. The techniques are applied to a two-degrees-of-freedom system with two distinct types of nonlinearities: a bilinear clearance nonlinearity and a symmetric deadzone nonlinearity.

Fast numerical approaches have recently been proposed to compute the undamped nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) of discrete and structural systems, and these have enabled remarkable insights into the nonlinear behavior of more complicated systems than are tractable analytically. Ardeh et al. recently proposed the multi-point, multi-harmonic collocation (MMC) method, which finds a truncated harmonic description of a structure’s NNMs. The MMC algorithm resembles harmonic balance but doesn’t require any analytical pre-processing nor the computational expense of the alternating time-frequency method. In a previous work this method showed significantly faster performance than the shooting method and it also allows the possibility of truncating the description of the NNM to avoid having to compute every internal resonance. This work presents a pseudo-arc length continuation version of the MMC algorithm which can compute a branch of NNMs and compares its performance with the shooting/pseudo-arc length continuation algorithm presented by Peeters and Kerschen in 2009. The algorithms are compared for two systems, a two degree-of-freedom (DOF) spring-mass system and a 10-DOF model of a simply-supported beam.

This paper describes a methodology for developing reduced-order dynamic models of nonlinear structural systems that are composed of an assembly of component structures. The approach is a nonlinear extension of the fixed-interface component mode synthesis technique developed for linear structures by Hurty and modified by Craig and Bampton. Specifically, the case of nonlinear substructures is handled by using fixed-interface nonlinear normal modes. These normal modes are constructed for the various substructures using an invariant manifold approach, and are then coupled through the traditional linear constraint modes (i.e., the static deformation shapes produced by unit interface motions). A simple system is used to demonstrate the proof of concept and show the effectiveness of the proposed procedure. Simulations are performed to show that the reduced-order model obtained from the proposed procedure outperforms the reduced-order model obtained from the classical fixed-interface linear component mode synthesis approach. Moreover, the proposed method is readily applicable to large-scale nonlinear structural systems.

The stability of periodic motions (nonlinear normal modes) in a nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system is studied by deriving an approximation for the Poincare´ map via the Birkhoff-Gustavson canonical transofrmation. This method is presented as an alternative to the usual linearized stability analysis based on Floquet theory. An example is given for which the Floquet theory approach fails to predict stability but for which the Poincare´ map approach succeeds.

Abstract The free oscillations of a strongly nonlinear, discrete oscillator are examined by computing its “nonsimilar nonlinear normal modes.” These are motions represented by curves in the configuration space of the system, and they are not encountered in classical, linear vibration theory or in existing nonlinear perturbation techniques. For an oscillator with weak coupling stiffness and “mistiming,” both localized and nonlocalized modes are detected, occurring in small neighborhoods of “degenerate” and “global” similar modes of the “tuned” system. When strong coupling is considered, only nonlocalized modes are found to exist. An interesting result of this work is the detection of mode localization in the “tuned” periodic system, a result with no counterpart in existing theories on linear mode localization.

The objective of this study is to carry out modal analysis of nonlinear periodic structures using nonlinear normal modes (NNMs). The NNMs are computed numerically with a method developed in [18] that is using a combination of two techniques: a shooting procedure and a method for the continuation of periodic motion. The proposed methodology is applied to a simplified model of a perfectly cyclic bladed disk assembly with 30 sectors. The analysis shows that the considered model structure features NNMs characterized by strong energy localization in a few sectors. This feature has no linear counterpart, and its occurrence is associated with the frequency-energy dependence of nonlinear oscillations.
