A modified two-timescale incremental harmonic balance (IHB) method is introduced to obtain quasi-periodic responses of nonlinear dynamic systems with combinations of two incommensurate base frequencies. Truncated Fourier coefficients of residual vectors of nonlinear algebraic equations are obtained by a frequency mapping-fast Fourier transform procedure, and complex two-dimensional (2D) integration is avoided. Jacobian matrices are approximated by Broyden's method and resulting nonlinear algebraic equations are solved. These two modifications lead to a significant reduction of calculation time. To automatically calculate amplitude–frequency response surfaces of quasi-periodic responses and avoid nonconvergent points at peaks, an incremental arc-length method for one timescale is extended for quasi-periodic responses with two timescales. Two examples, Duffing equation and van der Pol equation with quadratic and cubic nonlinear terms, both with two external excitations, are simulated. Results from the modified two-timescale IHB method are in excellent agreement with those from Runge–Kutta method. The total calculation time of the modified two-timescale IHB method can be more than two orders of magnitude less than that of the original quasi-periodic IHB method when complex nonlinearities exist and high-order harmonic terms are considered.

Piecewise Linear Stiffness

The incremental harmonic balance (IHB) method is extended to analyze the periodic vibrations of systems with a general form of piecewise-linear stiffness characteristics. An explicit formulation has been worked out. This development is of significance as many structural and mechanical systems of practical interest possess a piecewise-linear stiffness. Typical examples show that the IHB method is very effective for analyzing this kind of systems under steady-state vibrations.

Abstract In this paper, a modified incremental harmonic balance (IHB) method combined with Tikhonov regularization has been proposed to achieve the semi-analytical solution for the periodic nonlinear system. To the best of our knowledge, the convergence of the traditional IHB method is bound up with the iterative initial values of harmonic coefficients, especially near the bifurcation point. To this end, the Tikhonov regularization is introduced into the linear incremental equation to tackle the ill-posed situation in the iteration. To this end, the convergence performance of the traditional IHB method has been improved significantly. Moreover, convergence proof of the proposed method also has been given in this paper. Finally, a van der Pol–Duffing oscillator with external excitation and a cubic nonlinear airfoil system with the external store are adopted as numerical examples to illustrate the efficiency and the performance of the presented modified IHB method. The numerical examples show that the results achieved by the proposed method are in excellent agreement with the Runge–Kutta method, and the accuracy is not significantly reduced compared with the traditional IHB method. Especially, the modified IHB method also can converge to the exact solution from the initial values that the traditional IHB method cannot converge in both examples.

In this paper, an explicit formulation of the shooting scheme for computation of multiple periodic attractors of a harmonically excited oscillator which is asymmetric with both stiffness and viscous damping piecewise linearities is derived. The numerical simulation by the shooting method is compared with that by the incremental harmonic balance method (IHB method), which shows that the shooting method is in many respects distinctively advantageous over the incremental harmonic balance method.

Abstract Two widely used semi-analytical methods: the incremental harmonic balance (IHB) method and alternating frequency/time-domain (AFT) method are compared, and some long-standing discussions on frameworks of these two methods are cleared up. The IHB and AFT methods are proved for the first time to be theoretically equivalent when spectrum aliasing does not occur in the AFT method. Based on this equivalence, the minimal nonaliasing sampling rate for the AFT and fast Fourier transform (FFT)-based IHB methods can be obtained for a system with polynomial nonlinearities. While spectrum aliasing is theoretically inevitable for nonpolynomial nonlinearities, a sufficiently large sampling rate can be usually used with acceptable accuracy and efficiency for many systems. Convergence and efficiency of the IHB method, AFT method, and several FFT-based IHB methods are compared. Accuracy and convergence can be affected when the sampling rate is insufficient. This comparison can provide some insights to avoid misuse of these methods and choose which methods to use in engineering applications.

Abstract A new incremental harmonic balance (IHB) method with two time scales procedure is used to analyze quasi-periodic motion of multiple degrees of freedom systems with cubic nonlinearity. An amplitude increment algorithm is adapted to deal with cases where the two frequencies are unknown a priori, in order to automatically trace frequency response of quasi-periodic motion of the system and accurately calculate all frequency components and their corresponding amplitudes. Results of application of the present IHB method to quasi-periodic free vibration of the nonlinear system are shown and compared with previously published results with Lau method and those from numerical integration. While differences are noted between results predicted by the present IHB method and Lau method, excellent agreement is achieved between results from the present IHB method and numerical integration even in cases of strongly nonlinear vibration.

Abstract Dielectric elastomers (DEs) are widely used in soft transducers with mechanical or electrical loads. DE devices are mainly used for applications under dynamic loads, such as, ocean wave generators, loudspeakers, oscillators, and artificial muscles. It is still a challenge to analytically solve the vibration equation of a DE transducer. For example, for a DE membrane undergoing stretching deformation that is studied in this paper, its vibration equation is highly nonlinear with high-order and fractional-order polynomials. Numerical integration (NI) methods or traditional harmonic balance (HB) methods were used in previous works, but the two methods have low efficiency for strong and complex nonlinearities, and it is difficult to improve the accuracy of the solution. In this work, a free-energy model is used to study the dynamic characteristics of a DE membrane undergoing in-plane deformation, which undergoes a combined load excited by mechanical compression and electric fields. To improve the calculation efficiency and accuracy, we employ a modified incremental harmonic balance (IHB) method based on the fast Fourier transform to solve the periodically-excited nonlinear dynamic equation of the DE membrane. Finally, results of the example verify that the modified IHB method is fast and accurate, and has a very good performance in solving a problem with high nonlinearities.

The efficiency and accuracy of common time and frequency domain methods that are used to simulate the response of a rotor system with malfunctions are compared and analyzed. The Newmark method and the incremental harmonic balance method are selected as typical representatives of time and frequency domain methods, respectively. To improve the simulation efficiency, the fixed interface component mode synthesis approach is combined with the Newmark method and the receptance approach is combined with the incremental harmonic balance method. Numerical simulations are performed for rotor systems with single and double frequency excitations. The inherent characteristic that determines the efficiency of the two methods is analyzed. The results of the analysis indicated that frequency domain methods are suitable single and double frequency excitation rotor systems, whereas time domain methods are more suitable for multifrequency excitation rotor systems.
