An open-loop nonlinear control strategy applied to a hinged-hinged shallow arch, subjected to a longitudinal end-displacement with frequency twice the frequency of the second mode (principal parametric resonance), is developed. The control action—a transverse point force at the midspan—is typical of many single-input control systems; the control authority onto part of the system dynamics is high whereas the control authority onto some other part of the system dynamics is zero within the linear regime. However, although the action of the controller is orthogonal, in a linear sense, to the externally excited first antisymmetric mode, beneficial effects are exerted through nonlinear actuator action due to the system structural nonlinearities. The employed mechanism generating the effective nonlinear controller action is a one-half subharmonic resonance (control frequency being twice the frequency of the excited mode). The appropriate form of the control signal and associated phase is suggested by the dynamics at reduced orders, determined by a multiple-scales perturbation analysis directly applied to the integral-partial-differential equations of motion and boundary conditions. For optimal control phase and gain—the latter obtained via a combined analytical and numerical approach with minimization of a suitable cost functional—the parametric resonance is cancelled and the response of the system is reduced by orders of magnitude near resonance. The robustness of the proposed control methodology with respect to phase and frequency variations is also demonstrated.

A generalized damped Beck’s column under pulsating actions is considered. The nonlinear partial integrodifferential equations of motion and the associated boundary conditions, expanded up to cubic terms, are tackled through a perturbation approach. The multiple scales method is applied to the continuous model in order to obtain the bifurcation equations in the neighborhood of a Hopf bifurcation point in primary parametric resonance. This codimension-2 bifurcation entails two control variables, namely, the amplitude of the static and dynamic components of the follower force, playing the role of detuning and bifurcation parameters, respectively. In the postcritical analysis bifurcation diagrams and relevant phase portraits are examined. Two bifurcation paths associated with specific values of the follower force static component are discussed and the birth of new stable period-2 subharmonic motion is observed.

AbstractThe nonlinear transverse vibrations of ordered and disordered two-dimensional (2D) two-span composite laminated plates are studied. Based on the von Karman's large deformation theory, the equations of motion of each-span composite laminated plate are formulated using Hamilton's principle, and the partial differential equations are discretized into nonlinear ordinary ones through the Galerkin's method. The primary resonance and 1/3 sub-harmonic resonance are investigated by using the method of multiple scales. The amplitude-frequency relations of the steady-state responses and their stability analyses in each kind of resonance are carried out. The effects of the disorder ratio and ply angle on the two different resonances are analyzed. From the numerical results, it can be concluded that disorder in the length of the two-span 2D composite laminated plate will cause the nonlinear vibration localization phenomenon, and with the increase of the disorder ratio, the vibration localization phenomenon will become more obvious. Moreover, the amplitude-frequency curves for both primary resonance and 1/3 sub-harmonic resonance obtained by the present analytical method are compared with those by the numerical integration, and satisfactory precision can be obtained for engineering applications and the results certify the correctness of the present approximately analytical solutions.

Crank Mechanism

Abstract A direct variational approach with a floating frame is presented to derive the ordinary differential equations of motion of a flexible rod, constant crank speed slider crank mechanism. Potential energy terms contained in the derivation include beam bending energy and energy in foreshortening of the rod tip (which were selected because of the importance of these terms in a pinned-pinned rod parametric resonance). A symbolic manipulator code is used to reduce the constrained equations of motion to unconstrained nonlinear equations. A linearized version of these equations is used to explore parametric resonance stability-instability zones at low crank speeds and small deflections by a monodromy matrix technique.

Microcantilever Beam

The nonlinear vibrations of a piezoelectrically-driven microcantilever beam are experimentally and theoretically investigated. A part of the microcantilever beam surface is covered by a piezoelectric layer, which acts as an actuator. Practically, the first resonance of the beam is of interest, and hence, the microcantilever beam is modeled to obtain the natural frequency theoretically. The bending vibrations of the beam are studied considering the inextensibility condition and the coupling between electrical and mechanical properties in piezoelectric materials. The nonlinear term appears in the form of quadratic due to presence of piezoelectric layer, and cubic form due to geometry of the beam (mainly due to the beam's inextensibility). Galerkin approximation is utilized to discretize the equations of motion. The obtained equation is simulated to find the natural frequency of the system. In addition, method of multiple scales is applied to the equations of motion to arrive at the closed-form solution for natural frequency of the system. The experimental results verify the theoretical findings very closely. It is, therefore, concluded that the nonlinear approach could provide better dynamic representation of the microcantilever than previous linear models.

The dynamic behaviour of a simple clamped beam suspended at the other end by an inclined cable stay is surveyed in this paper. The sag due to the cable weight, as well as the non-linear coupling between the cable and the beam motions are taken into account. The formulation for in-plane vibration follows closely that of Gattulli et al. [1] and confirms their findings for the overall features of the equations of motion and the system modal properties. A reduced non-linear mathematical model, with two degrees of freedom, is also developed, following again the steps of Gattulli and co-authors [2,3]. Hamilton’s Principle is evoked to allow for the projection of the displacement field of both the beam and the cable onto the space defined by the first two modes, namely a “global” mode (beam and cable) and a “local” mode (cable). The method of multiple scales is then applied to the analysis of the reduced equations of motion, when the system is subjected to the action of a harmonic loading. The steady-state solutions are characterised in the case of internal resonance between the local and the global modes, plus external resonance with respect to either one of the modes considered. A numerical application is presented, for which multiple-scale results are compared with those of numerical integration. A reasonable qualitative and quantitative agreement is seen to happen particularly in the case of external resonance with the higher mode. Discrepancies should obviously be expected due to strong non-linearities present in the reduced equations of motion. That is specially the case for external resonance with the lower mode.

Load Mass

The dynamic response of an Euler-Bernoulli beam under moving loads is studied by mode superposition. The inertial effects of the moving load are included in the analysis. The time-dependent equations of motion in modal space are solved by the method of multiple scales. Instability regions of parametric resonance are identified and the moving mass effect is shown to significantly affect the transient response of the beam. Importance of modal interaction arising out of the possible internal resonance is highlighted. While the external resonance is due to the gravity effects of the moving load, the parametric and internal resonance solely depends on the load mass parameter—ratio of the moving load mass to the beam mass. Numerical results show the influence of the load inertia terms on the beam response under either a single moving load or a series of moving loads. [S0739-3717(00)01703-7]

Nonlinear Transverse Vibration

Abstract Nonlinear transverse vibration of a hyperelastic beam under a harmonically varying axial load is analyzed in this work. Equations of motion of the beam are derived via the extended Hamilton's principle, where transverse vibration is coupled with longitudinal vibration. The governing equation of nonlinear transverse vibration of the beam is obtained by decoupling the equations of motion. By applying the Galerkin method, the governing equation transforms to a series of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Response of the beam is obtained via three different methods: the Runge–Kutta method, multiple scales method, and harmonic balance method. Time histories, phase-plane portraits, fast Fourier transforms (FFTs), and amplitude–frequency responses of nonlinear transverse vibration of the beam are obtained. Comparison of results from the three methods is made. Results from the multiple scales method are in good agreement with those from the harmonic balance and Runge–Kutta methods when the amplitude of vibration is small. Effects of the material parameter and geometrical parameter of the beam on its amplitude–frequency responses are analyzed.

Abstract The application of the systematic procedures in the derivation of the equations of motion proposed in Part I of this work is demonstrated and implemented in detail. The equations of motion for each subsystem are derived individually and are assembled under the concept of compatibility between the local kinematic properties of the elastic degrees of freedom of those connected elastic members. The specific structure under consideration is characterized as an open loop system with spherical unconstrained chains being capable of rotating about a Hooke’s or universal joint. The rigid body motion, due to two unknown rotations, and the elastic degrees of freedom are mutually coupled and influence each other. The traditional motion superposition approach is no longer applicable herein. Numerical examples for several cases are presented. These simulations are compared with the experimental data and good agreement is indicated.

Abstract In this paper, the mathematical model of a Bernoulli-Euler cantilever beam fixed on a moving cart and carrying an intermediate lumped mass is derived. The equations of motion of the beam-mass-cart system is analyzed utilizing unconstrained modal analysis, and a unified frequency equation which can be generally applied to this kind of system is obtained. The change of natural frequencies and mode shapes with respect to the change of the mass ratios of the beam, the lumped mass and the cart and to the position of the lumped mass is investigated. The open-loop responses of the system by arbitrary forcing function are also obtained through numerical simulations.
