Abstract Nonstationary response of a two-degrees-of-freedom system with quadratic coupling under a time varying modulated amplitude sinusoidal excitation is studied. The nonlinearly coupled pitch and roll ship model is based on Nayfeh, Mook and Marshall’s work for the case of stationary excitation. The ship model has a 2:1 internal resonance and is excited near the resonance of the pitch mode. The modulated excitation (F0 + F1 cos ωt) cosQt is used to model a narrow band sea-wave excitation. The response demonstrates a variety of bifurcations, loss of stability, and chaos phenomena that are not present in the stationary case. We consider here the periodically modulated response. Chaotic response of the system is discussed in a separate paper. Several approximate solutions, under both small and large modulating amplitudes F1, are obtained and compared with the exact one. The stability of an exact solution with one mode having zero amplitude is studied. Loss of stability in this case involves either a rapid transition from one of two stable (in the stationary sense) branches to another, or a period doubling bifurcation. From Floquet theory, various stability boundary diagrams are obtained in F1 and F0 parameter space which can be used to predict the various transition phenomena and the period-2 bifurcations. The study shows that both the modulation parameters F1 and ω (the modulating frequency) have great effect on the stability boundaries. Because of the modulation, the stable area is greatly expanded, and the stationary bifurcation point can be exceeded without loss of stability. Decreasing ω can make the stability boundary very complicated. For very small ω the response can make periodic transitions between the two (pseudo) stable solutions.

The Masses

Structural optimization of non-conservative systems with respect to stability criteria is a research area with important applications in fluid-structure interactions, friction-induced instabilities, and civil engineering. In contrast to optimization of conservative systems where rigorously proven optimal solutions in buckling problems have been found, for nonconservative optimization problems only numerically optimized designs have been reported. The proof of optimality in non-conservative optimization problems is a mathematical challenge related to multiple eigenvalues, singularities in the stability domain, and non-convexity of the merit functional. We present here a study of optimal mass distribution in a classical Ziegler pendulum where local and global extrema can be found explicitly. In particular, for the undamped case, the two maxima of the critical flutter load correspond to a vanishing mass either in a joint or at the free end of the pendulum; in the minimum, the ratio of the masses is equal to the ratio of the stiffness coefficients. The role of the singularities on the stability boundary in the optimization is highlighted, and an extension to the damped case as well as to the case of higher degrees of freedom is discussed.

The Stability

In this paper we present stability analysis of a non-linear model for chatter vibration in a drilling operation. The results build our previous work [Stone, E., and Askari, A., 2002, “Nonlinear Models of Chatter in Drilling Processes,” Dyn. Syst., 17(1), pp. 65–85 and Stone, E., and Campbell, S. A., 2004, “Stability and Bifurcation Analysis of a Nonlinear DDE Model for Drilling,” J. Nonlinear Sci., 14(1), pp. 27–57], where the model was developed and the nonlinear stability of the vibration modes as cutting width is varied was presented. Here we analyze the effect of varying cutting depth. We show that qualitatively different stability lobes are produced in this case. We analyze the criticality of the Hopf bifurcation associated with loss of stability and show that changes in criticality can occur along the stability boundary, resulting in extra periodic solutions.

The Impact

This work looks at the nonlinear dynamical motion of an unstretched two degrees of freedom double pendulum in which its pivot point follows an elliptic route with steady angular velocity. These pendulums have different lengths and are attached with different masses. Lagrange’s equations are employed to derive the governing kinematic system of motion. The multiple scales technique is utilized to find the desired approximate solutions up to the third order of approximation. Resonance cases have been classified, and modulation equations are formulated. Solvability requirements for the steady-state solutions are specified. The obtained solutions and resonance curves are represented graphically. The nonlinear stability approach is used to check the impact of the various parameters on the dynamical motion. The comparison between the attained analytic solutions and the numerical ones reveals a high degree of consistency between them and reflects an excellent accuracy of the used approach. The importance of the mentioned model points to its applications in a wide range of fields such as ships motion, swaying buildings, transportation devices and rotor dynamics.
