The high speeds, small trim angles, and shallow drafts of planing hulls produce large changes in vessel wetted surface which, in turn, lead to significant hydrodynamic and dynamic nonlinearities. Due to the complex nonlinearities of this type of craft, naval architects and planing boat designers tend to rely upon experimental tests or simulation for guidance. In order for simulation to be an effective design tool, a fundamental understanding of the system’s dynamic characteristics is required. This paper describes a developing methodology by which the necessary insight may be obtained. A demonstration of the combined use of modern methods of dynamical system analysis with simulation is given in the evaluation of the vertical motions of a typical planing hull. Extending the work of Troesch and Hicks (1992) and Troesch and Falzarano (1993), the complete nonlinear hydrodynamic force and moment equations of Zarnick (1978) are expanded in a multi-variable Taylor series. As a result, the nonlinear integro-differential equations of motion are replaced by a set of highly coupled, ordinary differential equations with constant coefficients, valid through third order. Closed-form, analytic expressions are available for the coefficients (Hicks, 1993). Numerical examples for all first-order and some second-order terms are presented. Once completely determined, the coefficient matrices will serve as input to path following or continuation methods (e.g., Seydel, 1988) where heave and pitch magnification curves can be generated, allowing the entire system response to be viewed. The branching behavior of the solutions resulting from a variation of the center of gravity is examined in detail. These studies of the second-order accurate model show the potential of the method to identify areas of critical dynamic response, which in turn can be verified and explored further through the use of the simulator.

Nonlinear Modal Analysis

In this paper we discuss a theoretical technique for decomposing multi-degree-of-freedom weakly nonlinear systems into a simpler form — an approach which has parallels with the well know method for linear modal analysis. The key outcome is that the system resonances, both linear and nonlinear are revealed by the transformation process. For each resonance, parameters can be obtained which characterise the backbone curves, and higher harmonic components of the response. The underlying mathematical technique is based on a near identity normal form transformation. This is an established technique for analysing weakly nonlinear vibrating systems, but in this approach we use a variation of the method for systems of equations written in second-order form. This is a much more natural approach for structural dynamics where the governing equations of motion are written in this form as standard practice. In fact the first step in the method is to carry out a linear modal transformation using linear modes as would typically done for a linear system. The near identity transform is then applied as a second step in the process and one which identifies the nonlinear resonances in the system being considered. For an example system with cubic nonlinearities, we show how the resulting transformed equations can be used to obtain a time independent representation of the system response. We will discuss how the analysis can be carried out with applied forcing, and how the approximations about response frequencies, made during the near-identity transformation, affect the accuracy of the technique. In fact we show that the second-order normal form approach can actually improve the predictions of sub- and super-harmonic responses. Finally we comment on how this theoretical technique could be used as part of a modal testing approach in future work.

A method to study parametric stability of flexible cam-follower systems is developed. This method is applied to an automotive valve train which is modeled as a single-degree-of-freedom vibration system. The inclusion of the transverse and rotational flexibilities of the camshaft results in a system governed by a second-order, linear, ordinary differential equation with time-dependent coefficients. This class of equations, known as Hill’s equations, merits special notice in determination of the system response and stability. The analysis includes development of the equivalent model of the system, derivation of its equation of motion, and a method to evaluate its parametric stability based on Floquet theory. A closed-form numerical algorithm, developed to compute the periodic response of systems governed by second-order, linear, ordinary differential equations of motion with time-dependent coefficients, is utilized. The results of this study are presented in a companion paper in the forms of parametric stability charts and three-dimensional stability and response charts.

This paper presents an investigation into the vibration and stability of a blade spinning with respect to a nonfixed axis. Due to the motion of the spin axis, parametric instability of the blade may occur in certain situations. In this work, the discretized equations of motion are first formulated by the finite element technique. Then the system equations are transformed, by a special modal analysis procedure, into independent sets of first-order simultaneous differential equations. Each set of differential equations is solved analytically by the method of multiple scales if the precessional speed of the spin axis is assumed to be small compared to the spin rate of the blade, yielding the system response and the expressions for the boundaries of the unstable regions. Finally, the effects of system parameters on the changes in these boundaries are studied numerically.

This article is concerned about the planed rigid body pendulum motion suspended with a spring which is suspended to move on a vertical plane moving uniformly about a horizontal X-axis. This model depends on a system containing three generalized coordinates. The three nonlinear differential equations of motion of the second order are obtained to the elastic string length and the oscillation angles φ 1 and φ 2 which represent the freedom degrees for the pendulum motions. It is assumed that the body moves in a rotating vertical plane uniformly with an arbitrary angular velocity ω . The relative periodic motions of this model are considered. The governing equations of motion are obtained using Lagrange’s equations and represent a nonlinear system of second-order differential equations that can be solved in terms of generalized coordinates. The numerical solutions are investigated using the approximated fourth-order Runge–Kutta method through programming packages. These solutions are represented graphically to describe and discuss the behavior of the body at any instant for different values of the different physical parameters of the body. The obtained results have been discussed and compared with some previously published works. Some concluding remarks have been presented at the end of this work. The value of this study comes from its wide applications in both civil and military life. The main findings and objectives of the current study are obtaining periodic solutions for the problem and satisfying their accuracy and stabilities through the numerical procedure.

Field Control

This paper is devoted to path following control for electro-mechanical systems described by the port-Hamiltonian form. Path following control is investigated mainly for mechanical systems since the desired path is characterized by its ‘position’. Therefore, most of the existing results use the nature of second order differential equations since mechanical systems are described by them. The present paper proposes a new path following controller for 3rd order differential equations described by the port-Hamiltonian form. This is done by generalizing the authors’ former result on passive velocity field control for mechanical systems.

Hamilton Jacobi Equation

Hamilton’s principle was developed for the modeling of dynamic systems in which time is the principal independent variable and the resulting equations of motion are second-order differential equations. This principle uses kinetic energy which is functionally dependent on first-order time derivatives, and potential energy, and has been extended to include virtual work. In this paper, a variant of Hamiltonian mechanics for systems whose motion is governed by fourth-order differential equations is developed and is illustrated by an example invoking the flexural analysis of beams. The variational formulations previously associated with Newton’s second-order equations of motion have been generalized to encompass problems governed by energy functionals involving second-order derivatives. The canonical equations associated with functionals with second order derivatives emerge as four first-order equations in each variable. The transformations of these equations to a new system wherein the generalized variables and momenta appear as constants, can be obtained through several different forms of generating functions. The generating functions are obtained as solutions of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. This theory is illustrated by application to an example from beam theory the solution recovered using a technique for solving nonseparable forms of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. Finally whereas classical variational mechanics uses time as the primary independent variable, here the theory is extended to include static mechanics problems in which the primary independent variable is spatial.

An analysis of equations of motion expressed in terms of generalized velocity components (GVCs) for two second-order systems is presented in this paper. The two-link planar manipulator and the cart-pendulum are considered. It was shown that using GVC, two firstorder differential equations are obtained, which give some useful information about the system. The analysis allows one to detect several interesting properties concerning the system. In addition, A friction or disturbance model based on GVC can be considered, which gives an interesting insight into the system dynamics. The results of the analysis can be extended to multi-body systems.

Damping Matrix

The simplest technique of decoupling the normalized equations of motion of a linear nonclassically damped second-order system is to neglect the off-diagonal elements of the normalized damping matrix. In this paper, the error introduced in the system response due to this decoupling technique is studied. Conditions are derived under which the solution of an approximately decoupled system is “close” to the exact solution of the system.
