We present the results of analytical study of the significant regularities which are inherent to forced nonlinear oscillations of a string with uniformly distributed discrete masses, without its preliminary stretching. It was found recently that a corresponding autonomous system admits a series of nonlinear normal modes with a lot of possible intermodal resonances and that similar synchronized solutions can exist in the presence of a periodic external field also. The paper is devoted to theoretical explanation of numerical data relating to one of possible scenarios of intermodal interaction which was numerically revealed earlier. This is unidirectional energy flow from unstable nonlinear normal mode to nonlinear normal modes with higher wavenumbers under the conditions of sonic vacuum. The mechanism of such a scenario has not yet been clarified contrary to alternative mechanisms consisting in almost simultaneous energy flow to all nonlinear normal modes with breaking the above-mentioned conditions of sonic vacuum. We begin with a description of single-mode manifolds and then show that consideration of arbitrary double mode manifolds is sufficient for solution of the problem. Because of this, the two-modal equations of motion can be reduced to a linear equation which describes a perturbation of initially excited nonlinear normal mode of the forced system in the conditions of sonic vacuum. We have found analytical representation (in the parametric space) of the thresholds for all possible energy transfers corresponding to unidirectional energy flow from unstable nonlinear normal modes. The analytical results are in a good agreement with previous numerical calculations.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Nonlinear energy transfer in dynamical and acoustical systems’.

This paper considers the use of numerically constructed invariant manifolds to determine the response of nonlinear vibratory systems that are subjected to periodic excitation. The approach is an extension of the nonlinear normal mode formulation previously developed by the authors for free oscillations, wherein an auxiliary system that models the excitation is used to augment the equations of motion. In this manner, the excitation is simply treated as an additional system state, yielding a system with an extra degree of freedom, whose response is known. A reduced order model for the forced system is then determined by the usual nonlinear normal mode procedure, and an efficient Galerkin-based solution method is used to numerically construct the attendant invariant manifolds. The technique is illustrated by determining the frequency response for a simple two-degree-off-reedom mass-spring system with cubic nonlinearities, and for a discretized beam model with 12 degrees of freedom. The results show that this method provides very accurate responses over a range of frequencies near resonances.

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.

Linear and nonlinear normal mode motions may provide promising information about the condition of mechanical structures under small and large amplitude vibrations, respectively. In this view, this study investigates the nonlinear dynamics of cracked beams through use of the nonlinear mode motion and extends the crack identification methods that utilize the linear characteristics to nonlinear vibrating structures. At first, the nonlinear normal modes of the intact and cracked beams are calculated by a continuation algorithm. A finite element model of a geometrically nonlinear prismatic beam was created based on crack stress intensity. Subsequently, a method based on normal mode motion and minimization of strain energy, which is valid for linear and nonlinear vibrating beams, was developed as an optimization problem. To this end, hybrid optimization was also used due to its capability in finding global minimum along with its computational efficiency. It was shown that the proposed crack detection technique is applicable to beams vibrating in linear and/or nonlinear regimes and well capable of detecting both crack location and severity.

Abstract This study presents a new analytical model for nonlinear dynamics of a discrete rectangular membrane that is subjected to external harmonic force. It has recently been shown that the corresponding autonomous system admits a series of nonlinear normal modes. In this paper, we describe stationary and non-stationary dynamics on a single mode manifold. We suggest a simple formula for the amplitude-frequency response in both conservative and non-conservative cases and present an analytical expression (in parametric space) for thresholds for all possible bifurcations. Theoretical results obtained through asymptotic approach are confirmed by the experimental data. Experiments on the shaking table show that amplitude-frequency response to external force in a real system matches our theory. Substantial hysteresis is observed in the regimes with increasing and decreasing frequency of external force. The obtained results may be used in designing nonlinear energy sinks.

In this chapter we describe two of the most commonly used initialization procedures. These are the dynamic normal mode initialization and the physical initialization methods. Historically, initialization for primitive equation models started from a hierarchy of static initialization methods. These include balancing the mass and the wind fields using a linear or nonlinear balance equation (Charney 1955; Phillips 1960), variational techniques for such adjustments satisfying the constraints of the model equations (Sasaki 1958), and dynamic initialization involving forward and backward integration of the model over a number of cycles to suppress high frequency gravity oscillations before the start of the integration (Miyakoda and Moyer 1968; Nitta and Hovermale 1969; Temperton 1976). A description of these classical methods can be found in textbooks such as Haltiner and Williams (1980). Basically, these methods invoke a balanced relationship between the mass and motion fields. However, it was soon realized that significant departures from the balance laws do occur over the tropics and the upperlevel jet stream region. It was also noted that such departures can be functions of the heat sources and sinks and dynamic instabilities of the atmosphere. The procedure called nonlinear normal mode initialization with physics overcomes some of these difficulties. Physical initialization is a powerful method that permits the incorporation of realistic rainfall distribution in the model’s initial state. This is an elegant and successful initialization procedure based on selective damping of the normal modes of the atmosphere, where the high-frequency gravity modes are suppressed while the slow-moving Rossby modes are left untouched. Williamson (1976) used the normal modes of a shallow water model for initialization by setting the initial amplitudes of the high frequency gravity modes equal to zero. Machenhauer (1977) and Baer (1977) developed the procedure for nonlinear normal mode initialization (NMI), which takes into account the nonlinearities in the model equations. Kitade (1983) incorporated the effect of physical processes in this initialization procedure. We describe here the normal mode initialization procedure. Essentially following Kasahara and Puri (1981), we first derive the equations for vertical and horizontal modes of the linearized form of the model equations.

Abstract In this work, modifications to existing energy-based nonlinear normal mode (NNM) methodologies are developed in order to investigate internal resonances. A formulation for computing resonant NNMs is developed for discrete, or discretized for continuous systems, sets of weakly nonlinear equations with uncoupled linear terms (i.e systems in modal, or canonical, form). By considering a canonical framework, internal resonance conditions are immediately recognized by identifying commensurable linearized natural frequencies. Additionally, the canonical formulation allows for a single (linearized modal) coordinate to parameterize all other (modal) coordinates during a resonant modal response. Energy-based NNM methodologies are then applied to the canonical equations and asymptotic solutions are sought. In order to account for the resonant modal interactions, it will be shown that high-order terms in the O(1) solutions must be considered. Two applications (‘3:1’ resonances in a two-degree-of-freedom system and ‘3:1’ resonance in a hinged-clamped beam) are then considered by which to demonstrate the application of the resonant NNM methodology. Resonant normal mode solutions are obtained and the stability characteristics of these computed modes are considered. It is shown that for some responses, nonlinear modal relations do not exist in the context of physical coordinates and thus the transformation to canonical coordinates is necessary in order to define appropriate NNM relations.

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.
