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.

In this paper, an Euler–Bernoulli model has been used for nonlinear vibration, stability, and bifurcation analysis of spinning twisted beams with linear twist angle, and with large transverse deflections, near the primary and parametric resonances. The equations of motion, in the case of pure single mode motion are analyzed by two methods: directly applying multiple scales method and using multiple scales method after discretization by Galerkin’s procedure. It is observed that the same final relations are obtained in the two methods. Effects of twist angle, damping ratio, longitudinal to transverse stiffness ratio, and eccentricity on the frequency responses are investigated. Then, the results are compared with the results obtained from Runge–Kutta numerical method on ODEs in a steady state, and confirmed with some previous research. Finally, the results show a good correlation, and it shows that with increasing the twist angle from 0 to 90°, the natural frequencies increase in the first two modes.

The effect of shaft and disk asymmetry on the harmonic resonances of a rotor system with the in-extensional nonlinearity and large amplitude are investigated. Two rotor systems, one of which has been comprised of a symmetrical shaft and an asymmetrical disk (SA), and the other one has been comprised of an asymmetrical shaft and an asymmetrical disk (AA) are investigated. The shaft in the AA rotor has unequal mass moments of inertia and flexural rigidities in the direction of principal axes. Also, in the AA system the rigid disk is asymmetric with unequal mass moments of inertia. The equations of motion are derived by the Hamiltonian principle. The stability and bifurcations are obtained using the multiple scales method. The influences of asymmetry of shaft, asymmetry of disk, inequality between two eccentricities corresponding to the principal axes, disk position and external damping on the stability and bifurcations of SA and AA rotors are investigated. The results achieved from multiple scales method show a good agreement with those of numerical simulations.

This paper deals with the nonlinear response of a coupled cantilever system composed of two micro beams electrostatically actuated. The AC frequency of actuation is near natural frequency of the cantilevers. The two cantilevers are identical. Lagrange equations are used to develop a mathematical model of the system. These equations of motion are nondimensionalized and subjected to the method of multiple scales in order to find steady state solutions. Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC) actuation voltages are applied between the first cantilever and ground plate with DC voltage applied between the first and second cantilevers. Amplitude-frequency and phase-frequency responses of the system are provided for typical micro beam system structures.

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.

AbstractA general theory is given for autonomous perturbations of non-linear autonomous second order oscillators. It is found using a multiple scales method. A central part of it requires computation of Fourier coefficients for representation of the underlying oscillations, and these coefficients are found as convergent expansions in a suitable parameter.

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.

A modified mathematical model of a large capacity railroad freight vehicle is presented. The model for this investigation is constructed in such a way to describe the bounce, sway and rocking modes of the system and also to account for most of the vehicle non-linearity effects. Equations of motion of the six degree of freedom nonlinear model are derived assuming that the excitations from the track in vertical and lateral directions are purely periodic in the form of a rectified sine wave. The solution for the time and frequency responses on digital computer are compared with available measured data to investigate the model accuracy. Multivariable optimization techniques are employed to find the optimum suspension parameters that minimizes the maximum car rocking response over the frequency range of interest. The optimum parameters are presented in different forms either for the existing or for stabilized vehicle configuration.

A new approximate method for solving the nonlinear Duffing-van der pol oscillator equation is proposed. The proposed scheme depends only on the two components of homotopy series, the Laplace transformation and, the Padé approximants. The proposed method introduces an alternative framework designed to overcome the difficulty of capturing the behavior of the solution and give a good approximation to the solution for a large time. The Runge-Kutta algorithm was used to solve the governing equation via numerical solution. Finally, to demonstrate the validity of the proposed method, the response of the oscillator, which was obtained from approximate solution, has been shown graphically and compared with that of numerical solution.
