In this paper we study, both theoretically and experimentally, the nonlinear vibration of a shallow arch with one end attached to an electro-mechanical shaker. In the experiment we generate harmonic magnetic force on the central core of the shaker by controlling the electric current flowing into the shaker. The end motion of the arch is in general not harmonic, especially when the amplitude of lateral vibration is large. In the case when the excitation frequency is close to the nth natural frequency of the arch, we found that geometrical imperfection is the key for the nth mode to be excited. Analytical formula relating the amplitude of the steady state response and the geometrical imperfection can be derived via a multiple scale analysis. In the case when the excitation frequency is close to two times of the nth natural frequency two stable steady state responses can exist simultaneously. As a consequence jump phenomenon is observed when the excitation frequency sweeps upward. The effect of geometrical imperfection on the steady state response is minimal in this case. The multiple scale analysis not only predicts the amplitudes and phases of both the stable and unstable solutions, but also predicts analytically the frequency at which jump phenomenon occurs.

Axially Loaded

Driven by the study of Leland and Wright [1], this manuscript delves into the qualitative understanding of energy harvesting using axially-loaded beams. Using a simple nonlinear electromechanical model and the method of multiple scales, we study the general nonlinear physics of energy harvesting from a piezoelectric beam subjected to static axial loading and traversal dynamic excitation. We obtain analytical expressions for the steady-state response amplitude, the voltage drop across a resistive load, and the output power. We utilize these expression to study the effect of the axial loading on the overall nonlinear behavior of the harvester. It is demonstrated that, in addition to the ability of tuning the harvester to the excitation frequency via axial load variations, the axial load aids in i) increasing the electric damping in the system thereby enhancing the energy transfer from the beam to the electric load, ii) amplifying the effect of the external excitation on the structure, and hence, increases the steady-state response amplitude and output voltage, and iii) increasing the bandwidth of the harvester by enhancing the effective nonlinearity of the system.

Friction dampers are widely used to improve the performance of rotating blades. This paper is concerned with the steady state response and stability analysis of rotating composite plates in the presence of non linear friction damping. Direct Integration Method (DIM) and Harmonic Balance Method (HBM) are used to determine the steady state response due to periodic lateral external forces. In addition, an alternate procedure, Hybrid Method (HM) is proposed for this analysis to substantiate the results from DIM and HBM. The analysis shows that the steady state response is a function of friction damping magnitude as well as its location besides the excitation frequency and the rotational speed. A stability analysis of the composite blades is also made by including periodic in-plane excitation using Floquet-Liapunov theory.

Piezoelectric Vibration

To maximize the electromechanical transduction of vibratory energy harvesters, the resonance frequency of the harvesting device is usually tuned to the excitation frequency. To achieve this goal, some concepts call for utilizing an axial static preload to soften or stiffen the structure (Leland and Wright, 2006, “Resonance Tuning of Piezoelectric Vibration Energy Scavenging Generators Using Compressive Axial Preload,” Smart Mater. Struct., 15, pp. 1413–1420; Morris et al., 2008, “A Resonant Frequency Tunable, Extensional Mode Piezoelectric Vibration Harvesting Mechanism,” Smart Mater. Struct., 17, p. 065021). For the most part, however, models used to describe the effect of the axial preload on the harvester’s response are linear lumped-parameter models that can hide some of the essential features of the dynamics and, sometimes, oppose the experimental trends. To resolve this issue, this study aims to develop a comprehensive understanding of energy harvesting using axially loaded beams. Specifically, using nonlinear Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, an electromechanical model of a clamped-clamped energy harvester subjected to transversal excitations and static axial loading is developed and discretized using a Galerkin expansion. Using the method of multiple scales, the general nonlinear physics of the system is investigated by obtaining analytical expressions for the steady-state response amplitude, the voltage drop across a resistive load, and the output power. These theoretical expressions are then validated against experimental data. It is demonstrated that in addition to the ability of tuning the harvester to the excitation frequency via axial load variations, the axial load aids in (i) increasing the electric damping in the system, thereby enhancing the energy transfer from the beam to the electric load, (ii) amplifying the effect of the external excitation on the structure, and (iii) enhancing the effective nonlinearity of the device. These factors combined can increase the steady-state response amplitude, output power, and bandwidth of the harvester.

The steady-state response of a one-degree-of-freedom double bilinear hysteretic model is investigated and it is shown that this model gives rise to the jump phenomenon which is associated with certain nonlinear systems. The stability of the steady-state solution is discussed and it is shown that the model predicts an unbounded resonance for finite excitation.

In the present paper, nonlinear forced vibrations of an axial moving nanobeam which is vertically influenced by an external harmonic excitation and gravity is analyzed by considering the effects of linear damping. Considering certain assumptions, a nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli beam theory is developed. With the implementation of the nonlocal elasticity theory, the governing integro-partial-differential equation is obtained by using the Hamilton principle. The multiple scale method is employed to obtain a steady-state response for the size-dependent viscoelastic nanobeam with fixed-free boundary conditions. Subsequently, the trivial and non-trivial steady-state response and the bifurcation point types are examined. Finally, the effects of damping coefficient and nonlocal parameter on stability and bifurcation of trivial and non-trivial solutions are studied. It is found that the effect of nonlocal parameter on the steady-state response and the bifurcation point types is quite important.
