Special Case

The second-order nonlinear differential equations of motion in the case of a rocket in drag-free powered-flight under constant transverse (normal to the focal radius) thrust are solved by series expansion developed to the seventh power of the independent variable “time.” The coefficients of the powers of time are in terms of given boundary conditions. The truncation errors of the series are estimated, hence the accuracy for any practical problem based on the analysis presented in this paper could be well established. The case of constant transverse thrust acceleration, which may be conceived as a special case of the present analysis, is also solved.

Abstract Parametric stability in beams with combined quadratic and cubic material nonlinearities is examined. A general mathematical model is developed for parametrically excited beams accounting for their nonlinear material characteristic. Second- and forth-order nonlinear differential equations are found to govern the axial and transverse motions, respectively. Expansions for displacements are assumed in terms of the linear undamped free-oscillation modes. Boundary conditions are applied to the expansions for displacements to determine the mode shapes. Multiplying the equations of motion by the corresponding shape functions, accounting for their orthogonal properties, and integrating over the beam length, a set of coupled nonlinear differential equations in the time-dependent modal coefficients is obtained. Utilizing the method of multiple scales, frequency response as well as response versus excitation amplitude are obtained for two beams of different cross sectional areas. Results are presented for three boundary conditions. It is found that, qualitatively, the response is similar for all the boundary conditions. Quantitative comparison of the cases considered indicate that the highest response amplitude occurs for the cantilever beam with the end mass. The bifurcation points for simply supported beam occur at lower excitation parameter value. It is apparent that more slender columns have larger response amplitude.

AbstractThe aim of this paper is to study one class of nonlinear differential equations, which model the Antarctic circumpolar current. We prove the existence results for such equations related to the geophysical relevant boundary conditions. First, based on the weighted eigenvalues and the theory of topological degree, we study the semilinear case. Secondly, the existence results for the sublinear and superlinear cases are proved by fixed point theorems.

Elastic Plastic

Axisymmetric deformation of a three-layer circular plate under repeated alternating loading from the plastic region by a local load is considered. To describe kinematics of asymmetrical on the thickness of the plate pack is adopted the hypothesis of a broken line. In a thin elastic-plastic load-bearing layers are used the hypothesis of Kirchhoff. A non-linearly elastic relatively thick filler is incompressible in thickness. It is taken to be a hypothesis of Tymoshenko regarding the straightness and the incompressibility of the deformed normals with linear approximation of the displacements through the thickness layer. The work of the filler in the tangential direction is taken into account. The physical relations of stress-strain relations correspond to the theory of small elastic-plastic deformations. The effect of heat flow is taken into account. The temperature field in the plate was calculated by the formula obtained by averaging the thermophysical parameters over the thickness of the package. The system of differential equations of equilibrium under loading of the plate from the natural state is obtained by the Lagrange variational method. Boundary conditions on the plate contour are formulated. The solution of the corresponding boundary value problem is reduced to finding the three desired functions: deflection, shear and radial displacement of the shear surface of the filler. A non-uniform system of ordinary nonlinear differential equations is written for these functions. Its analytical iterative solution is obtained in Bessel functions by the method of elastic solutions of Ilyushin. In case of repeated alternating loading of the plate, the solution of the boundary value problem is constructed using the theory of variable loading of Moskvitin. In this case, the hypothesis of similarity of plasticity functions at each loading step is used. Their analytical form is taken independent of the point of unloading. However, the material constants included in the approximation formulas will be different. The cyclic hardening of the material of the bearing layers is taken into account. The parametric analysis of the obtained solutions under different boundary conditions in the case of a local load distributed in a circle is carried out. The influence of temperature and nonlinearity of layer materials on the displacements in the plate is numerically investigated.

Driving Torque

Numerous unexplained failures of rotating machinery by nonsynchronous shaft whirling point to a possible driving mechanism or source of energy not identified by previously existing theory. A majority of these failures have been in machines characterized by overhung disks (or disks located close to one end of a bearing span) and/or high power and load torque. This paper gives exact solutions to the nonlinear differential equations of motion for a rotor having both of these characteristics and shows that high ratios of driving torque to damping can produce nonsynchronous whirling with destructively large amplitudes. Solutions are given for two cases: (1) viscous load torque and damping, and (2) load torque and damping proportional to the second power of velocity (aerodynamic case). Criteria are given for avoiding the torquewhirl condition.

The displacement components for both free and forced vibrations are sought as power series of the dimensionless wave number ε, where ε = 2π × layer thickness/wavelength. For the free vibration problem the object is to determine the frequencies, which are also sought as power series of the dimensionless wave number. The displacement and frequency expansions are substituted in the displacement equations of motion and in the boundary conditions. By collecting terms of the same order εn, a system of second-order, inhomogeneous, ordinary differential equations of the Helmholtz type is obtained, with the thickness variable as independent variable, and with associated boundary conditions. For free vibrations, subsequent integration yields the coefficients of εn for the displacements and the frequencies for all modes, and in the whole range of frequencies, but in a range of dimensionless wave numbers 0 < ε < ε* < 1, where ε* increases as more terms are retained in the expansions. For forced vibrations, the amplitudes are determined in an analogous manner if the external surface tractions are of sinusoidal dependence on the in-plane coordinates and on time. The response to surface tractions of more general spatial dependence is obtained by Fourier superposition.

Analysis of a flexible manipulator as an initial value problem, due to its large deformations, involves nonlinear ordinary differential equations of motion. In the present work, these equations are solved through the general Frechet derivatives and the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method directly. The results so obtained are compared with those of the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method. It is seen that both the results match each other well. Further considering the same manipulator as a boundary value problem, its governing equation is a highly nonlinear partial differential equation. Again applying the general Frechet derivatives and the GDQ method, it is seen that the results are in good match with the linear theory. In both cases, the general Frechet derivatives are introduced and successfully used for linearization. The results of the present study indicate that the GDQ method combined with the general Frechet derivatives can be successfully used for the solution of nonlinear differential equations.
