Abstract The response of a slender, elastic, cantilevered beam to a simple harmonic excitation is investigated. The nonlinear equations governing the motion of the beam are essentially those derived earlier by Crespo da Silva and Glynn (1978). In the current study, the governing equations are extended to include static deflection. These equations not only include nonlinear curvature, nonlinear inertia, inextensionality and static deflection, but also include torsional displacement. In all cases, the torsional displacement is written in terms of lateral displacements and eliminated from the governing equations. Previous derivations of equations of motion contain only the linear and cubic terms without consideration of the static displacement produced by the weight of the beam. As a result of this static deflection, there are quadratic terms in the governing equations, which introduce the possibility of superharmonic and subharmonic resonances of order two. The partial-differential equations of motion are converted into a system of coupled ordinary-differential equations in time by the application of Galerkin’s procedure. Approximate solutions of the temporal equations are determined by the method of multiple scales. The analysis reveals that only the in-plane modes directly excited by a primary or secondary resonance and the out-of-plane modes excited by an internal resonance are involved in the first approximation of the response. The amplitudes of the other modes decay. Under some circumstances, there is no steady-state (constant amplitude, constant phase) response. Instead, the amplitude and phase are slowly modulated. Under some circumstances, the modulations are harmonic and produce discrete side bands around the fundamental frequency. For other circumstances, the modulations are chaotic. Both stable and unstable whirling motions are found in every resonance when the principal moments of inertia of the cross-section are approximately equal. The longer the beam is, the more prominent the whirling motion becomes. The accuracy of some of the approximate solutions is verified by numerical integration. The analysis reveals some interesting possibilities: For example, in a subharmonic resonance of order two, it is possible for the out of plane motion to have a frequency that is exactly one half that of the in-plane motion, which has a frequency equal to that of the excitation. It is also possible for the frequency of the in-plane motion to be equal to that of the out-of-plane motion, which is the one half frequency of the excitation.

Abstract The nonplanar responses of a beam clamped at one end and restrained by nonlinear springs at the other end is investigated under a primary resonance base excitation. The beam’s geometry and the springs’ linear stiffnesses are such that the system possesses a one-to-one autoparametric resonance between the nth in-plane and out-of-plane modes. The beam is modeled using Euler-Bernoulli theory and includes cubic geometric and inertia nonlinearities. The objective is to assess the influence of the nonlinear boundary conditions on the beam’s oscillations. To this end, the method of multiple scales is directly applied to the integral-partial-differential equations of motion and associated boundary conditions. The result is a set of four nonlinear ordinary-differential equations that govern the slow dynamics of the system. Solutions of these modulation equations are then used to characterize the system’s nonlinear behavior.

Periodic and chaotic space oscillations of an axially moving viscoelastic belt with one-to-one internal resonance are investigated for the first time. The Kelvin viscoelastic model is introduced to describe the viscoelastic property of the belt material. The external damping and internal damping of the material for the axially moving viscoelastic belt are considered simultaneously. The nonlinear governing equations of motion of the axially moving viscoelastic belt for the in-plane and out-of-plane are derived by the extended Hamilton’s principle. The method of multiple scales and Galerkin’s approach are applied directly to the partial differential governing equations of motion to obtain four-dimensional averaged equation under the case of 1:1 internal resonance and primary parametric resonance of the first order modes for the in-plane and out-of-plane oscillations. Numerical method is used to investigate periodic and chaotic space motions of the axially moving viscoelastic belt. The results of numerical simulation demonstrate that there exist periodic, period-2, period-3, period-4, period-6, quasiperiodic and chaotic motions of the axially moving viscoelastic belt.

Equations of motion for a four-degree-of-freedom dynamical system describing the vibrations of a one-disc elastic rotor taking into account gyroscopic moments on a non-linear flexural base are derived. A new version of the multiple scales method is developed and applied to analyse the non-linear dynamics of such a system for different resonances. The steady motions of the rotor are analysed. From the asymptotic analysis, it is shown that out-of-plane motions of the disc exist in the symmetric rotor.

We investigate the nonlinear nonplanar responses of suspended cables to external excitations. The equations of motion governing such systems contain quadratic and cubic nonlinearities, which may result in two-to-one and one-to-one internal resonances. The sag-to-span ratio of the cable considered is such that the natural frequency of the first symmetric in-plane mode is at first crossover. Hence, the first symmetric in-plane mode is involved in a one-to-one internal resonance with the first antisymmetric in-plane and out-of-plane modes and, simultaneously, in a two-to-one internal resonance with the first symmetric out-of-plane mode. Under these resonance conditions, we analyze the response when the first symmetric in-plane mode is harmonically excited at primary resonance. First, we express the two governing equations of motion as four first-order (i.e., state-space formulation) partial-differential equations. Then, we directly apply the methods of multiple scales and reconstitution to determine a second-order uniform asymptotic expansion of the solution, including the modulation equations governing the dynamics of the phases and amplitudes of the interacting modes. Then, we investigate the behavior of the equilibrium and dynamic solutions as the forcing amplitude and resonance detunings are slowly varied and determine the bifurcations they may undergo.

The dynamic behavior of a rectangular thin plate under parametric and external excitations is investigated. The motion of the thin plate is modeled by coupled second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Their approximate solutions are sought by applying the method of multiple scales. A reduced system of four first-order ordinary differential equations is determined to describe the time variation of the amplitudes and phases of the vibration in the horizontal and vertical directions. The steady-state response and the stability of the solutions for various parameters are studied numerically, using the frequency-response function and the phase-plane methods. It is also shown that the system parameters have different effects on the nonlinear response of the thin plate. Moreover, the chaotic motion of the thin plate is found by numerical simulation.

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.

Abstract Inverted pendulums are traditional dynamic problems. If an inverted pendulum is used in a moving cart, a new type of exciting issues will appear. One of these problems is two-wheeled inverted pendulum systems. Because of their small size, high performance in quick driving, and their stability with controller, researchers and engineers are interested in them. In this paper, a new configuration of one specific robot is modeled, and its dynamic behavior is analyzed. The proposed model can move in two directions, and with a proper controller can keep its stability during the operation. In this robot, two cantilever beams are on the two-wheeled base, and they are excited by voltages to the attached piezoelectric actuators. The mathematical model of this system is obtained using the extended Hamilton’s Principle. The results show that the governing equations of motion are highly nonlinear and contain several coupled partial differential equations (PDEs). In order to extract the natural modes of the beams, the undamped, unforced equations of motion and boundary conditions of the beams are used. If a limited number of modes (N1 and N2) are selected for each beam, the coupled PDEs will be changed to N1 + N2 + 5 ordinary differential equations (ODEs). These complex equations are solved numerically, and the natural frequencies of the system are extracted. The system is then simulated in both lateral and horizontal plane movements. The simulation shows that the governing equations are correct, and the system is ready for designing a proper controller. It should be mentioned that in the future works, the derived equations will be validated experimentally, and a suitable control strategy will be applied to the system to make it automated and more applicable.

Abstract This paper is focused on the internal resonances and nonlinear vibrations of an eccentric rotating composite laminated circular cylindrical shell subjected to the lateral excitation and the parametric excitation. Based on Love thin shear deformation theory, the nonlinear partial differential equations of motion for the eccentric rotating composite laminated circular cylindrical shell are established by Hamilton’s principle, which are derived into a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations by the Galerkin discretization. The excitation conditions of the internal resonance is found through the Campbell diagram, and the effects of eccentricity ratio and geometric papameters on the internal resonance of the eccentric rotating system are studied. Then, the method of multiple scales is employed to obtain the four-dimensional nonlinear averaged equations in the case of 1:2 internal resonance and principal parametric resonance-1/2 subharmonic resonance. Finally, we study the nonlinear vibrations of the eccentric rotating composite laminated circular cylindrical shell systems.

A spatial pendulum with the vertical immobile axis and horizontal mobile axis is studied and the differential equations of motion are obtained applying the method of Lagrange equations. The equations of motion were obtained for the general case; the only simplifying hypothesis consists in neglecting the principal moments of inertia about the axes normal to the oscillation axes. The system of nonlinear differential equations was numerically integrated. The correctness of the obtained solutions was corroborated to the dynamical simulation of the motion via dynamical analysis software. The perfect concordance between the two solutions proves the rightness of the equations obtained.

The nonlinear planar response of cantilever metallic beams to combination parametric and external subcombination resonances is investigated, taking into account the effects of cubic geometric and inertia nonlinearities. The beams considered here are assumed to have large length-to-width aspect ratios and thin rectangular cross sections. Hence, the effects of shear deformations and rotatory inertia are neglected. For the case of combination parametric resonance, a two-mode Galerkin discretization along with Hamilton’s extended principle is used to obtain two second-order nonlinear ordinary-differential equations of motion and associated boundary conditions. Then, the method of multiple scales is applied to obtain a set of four first-order nonlinear ordinary-differential equations governing the modulation of the amplitudes and phases of the two excited modes. For the case of subcombination resonance, the method of multiple scales is applied directly to the Lagrangian and virtual-work term. Then using Hamilton’s extended principle, we obtain a set of four first-order nonlinear ordinary-differential equations governing the amplitudes and phases of the two excited modes. In both cases, the modulation equations are used to generate frequency- and force-response curves. We found that the trivial solution exhibits a jump as it undergoes a subcritical pitchfork bifurcation. Similarly, the nontrivial solutions also exhibit jumps as they undergo saddle-node bifurcations.
