The 3D dynamics of a cantilever beam undergoing large displacements under a sinusoidally varying, concentrated, vertical force at its free end are analyzed in this paper. The Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) of the motion are obtained by using the Principle of Virtual Power. Then a reduced 4 degrees-of-freedom model is obtained using, in a Galerkin approximation, four eigenfunctions of the linearized model. The obtained four Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) of the motion are expanded by means of a 3rd order Multiple Time Scales perturbation technique to obtain Amplitude and Phase Modulation Equations (APMEs). The role of the inertial-elastic nonlinear terms, responsible for the coupling of the mass matrix, and of the viscous-elastic nonlinear terms, both usually neglected in the literature, is discussed. A path following procedure applied to the APMEs is used to describe the global dynamical behavior in the plane of the excitation control parameters. The results obtained using the 4 d.o.f. analytical model are compared with those of an experimental aluminium model of the cantilever. The regions of instability of the 1-modal planar solution, in which the nonlinear modal coupling excites out of plane and/or torsional components, are studied.

The objective of this work is to analytically study the nonlinear dynamics of beam flexures with a tip mass undergoing large deflections. Hamilton's principle is utilized to derive the equations governing the nonlinear vibrations of the cantilever beam and the associated boundary conditions. Then, using a single mode approximation, these nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced to two coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. These equations are solved analytically using the multiple time scales perturbation technique. Parametric analytical expressions are presented for the time domain response of the beam around and far from its internal resonance state. These analytical results are compared with numerical ones to validate the accuracy of the proposed analytical model. Compared with numerical solution methods, the proposed analytical technique shortens the computational time, offers design insights, and provides a broader framework for modeling more complex flexure mechanisms. The qualitative and quantitative knowledge resulting from this effort is expected to enable the analysis, optimization, and synthesis of flexure mechanisms for improved dynamic performance.

Multiple time scales technique has long been an important method for the analysis of weakly nonlinear systems. In this technique, a set of multiple time scales are introduced that serve as the independent variables. The evolution of state variables at slower time scales is then determined so as to make the expansions for solutions in a perturbation scheme uniform in natural and slower times. Normal form theory has also recently been used to approximate the dynamics of weakly nonlinear systems. This theory provides a way of finding a coordinate system in which the dynamical system takes the “simplest” form. This is achieved by constructing a series of near-identity nonlinear transformations that make the nonlinear systems as simple as possible. The “simplest” differential equations obtained by the normal form theory are topologically equivalent to the original systems. Both methods can be interpreted as nonlinear perturbations of linear differential equations. In this work, the equivalence of these two methods for constructing periodic solutions is proven, and it is explained why some studies have found the results obtained by the two techniques to be inconsistent.

In this paper, dynamical behavior of a cantilever beam subject to parametric excitation under state feedback control with time delay is analyzed. The method of multiple scale perturbation technique is applied to obtain the solution up to the first order approximation. We obtain equations for the amplitude and phase. We studied all resonance cases numerically. Stability of the steady state solution for the selected resonance case is studied applying Rung-Kutta fourth method and frequency response equation via Matlab 7.0 and maple 16. From the results, it can be seen that the frequency and amplitude responses for the selected resonance case can be affected by the time delayed control. Effects of different parameters of the system are studied.

Semiconductor lasers can exhibit complex dynamical behavior in the presence of external perturbations. Delayed optical feedback, re-injecting part of the emitted light back into the laser cavity, in particular, can destabilize the laser’s emission. We focus on the emission properties of a semiconductor laser subject to such optical feedback, where the delay of the light re-injection is large compared to the relaxation oscillations period. We present an overview of the main dynamical features that emerge in semiconductor lasers subject to delayed optical feedback, emphasizing how to experimentally characterize these features using intensity and high-resolution optical spectra measurements. The characterization of the system requires the experimentalist to be able to simultaneously measure multiple time scales that can be up to six orders of magnitude apart, from the picosecond to the microsecond range. We highlight some experimental observations that are particularly interesting from the fundamental point of view and, moreover, provide opportunities for future photonic applications.

In this paper, the dynamic oscillation of a rectangular thin plate under parametric and external excitations is investigated and controlled. The motion of a rectangular thin plate is modeled by coupled second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The formulas of the thin plate are derived from the von Kármán equation and Galerkin's method. A control law based on negative acceleration feedback is proposed for the system. The multiple time scale perturbation technique is applied to solve the nonlinear differential equations and obtain approximate solutions up to the second-order approximations. One of the worst resonance case of the system is the simultaneous primary resonances, where Ω1≅ω1 and  Ω2≅ω2. From the frequency response equations, the stability of the system is investigated according to the Routh–Hurwitz criterion. The effects of the different parameters are studied numerically. It is also shown that the system parameters have different effects on the nonlinear response of the thin plate. The simulation results are achieved using matlab 7.0 software. A comparison is made with the available published work.

In this paper, the equivalence of the multiple time scales (MTS) method and the center manifold reduction (CMR) method is proved for computing the normal forms of ordinary differential equations and delay differential equations. The delay equations considered include general delay differential equations (DDE), neutral functional differential equations (NFDE) (or neutral delay differential equations (NDDE)), and partial functional differential equations (PFDE). The delays involved in these equations can be discrete or distributed. Particular attention is focused on dynamics associated with the semisimple singularity, and both the MTS and CMR methods are applied to compute the normal forms near the semisimple singular point. For the ordinary differential equations (ODE), we show that the two methods are equivalent up to any order in computing the normal forms; while for the differential equations with delays, we obtain the conditions under which the normal forms, derived by using the MTS and CMR methods, are identical up to third order. Different types of practical examples with delays are presented to demonstrate the application of the theoretical results, associated with Hopf, Hopf-zero and double-Hopf singularities.

The present article contemplates the nonlinear powerful exhibitions of affecting dynamic vibration controller over a beam–ring structure for demonstrating the circular truss antenna exposed to mixed excitations. The dynamic controller comprises the included negative speed input added to the framework’s idea. By using the statue, Hamilton, the nonlinear fractional differential administering conditions of movement and the limit conditions have inferred for the shaft ring structure. Through Galerkin’s method, the nonlinear partial differential equations referred to overseeing the movement of the shaft ring structure have diminished to a coupled normal differential equations extending the nonlinearities square terms. Multiple time scales have helped in acquiring (getting) the four-dimensional averaged equations for measuring the primary and 1:2 internal resonances. This article’s controlled assessment is useful for controlling the nonlinear vibrations of the considered framework. Likewise, the controller dispenses with the framework’s oscillations in a brief time frame. The demonstrations of the numerous coefficients and the framework directed at the examined resonance case have been determined. Using MATLAB 7.0 programs has aided in completing the simulation results. At last, the numerical outcomes displayed an admirable concurrence with the methodical ones. A comparison with recently available articles has also indicated good results through using the presented controller.
