Floquet theory is combined with harmonic balance to study parametrically excited systems with two harmonics of excitation, where the second harmonic has twice the frequency of the first one. An approximated solution composed of an exponential part with unknown exponents and a periodic term consisting of a truncated Fourier series is considered. When applied to a two-harmonic Mathieu equation the analysis shows that the second harmonic alters stability characteristics, particularly in the primary and superharmonic instabilities. We also look at the initial conditions response and its frequency content. The second excitation harmonic in the system with parametric damping is seen to disrupt the coexistence phenomenon which is observed in the single-harmonic case.

Abstract Floquet theory is combined with harmonic balance to study parametrically excited systems with combination of both time varying damping and stiffness. An approximated solution having an exponential part with unknown exponents and a periodic term consisting of a truncated Fourier series is considered. When applied to a system with parametric damping and stiffness the analysis shows that combination of parametric damping and stiffness alters stability characteristics, particularly in the primary and superharmonic instabilities comparing to the system with only parametric damping or stiffness. We also look at the initial conditions response and its frequency content. The second excitation harmonic in the system with parametric damping is seen to disrupt the coexistence phenomenon which is observed in the parametric damping case.

Abstract The Floquet theory has been classically used to study the stability characteristics of linear dynamic systems with periodic coefficients and is commonly applied to Mathieu’s equation, which has parametric stiffness. The focus of this article is to study the response characteristics of a linear oscillator for which the damping coefficient varies periodically in time. The Floquet theory is used to determine the effects of mean plus cyclic damping on the Floquet multipliers. An approximate Floquet solution, which includes an exponential part and a periodic part that is represented by a truncated Fourier series, is then applied to the oscillator. Based on the periodic part, the harmonic balance method is used to obtain the Fourier coefficients and Floquet exponents, which are then used to generate the response to the initial conditions, the boundaries of instability, and the characteristics of the free response solution of the system. The coexistence phenomenon, in which the instability wedges disappear and the transition curves overlap, is recovered by this approach, and its features and robustness are examined.

Solutions to the linear unforced Mathieu equation, and their stabilities, are investigated. Floquet theory shows that the solution can be written as a product between an exponential part and a periodic part at the same frequency or half the frequency of excitation. In the current work, an approach combining Floquet theory with the harmonic balance method is investigated. A Floquet solution having an exponential part with an unknown exponential argument and a periodic part consisting of a series of harmonics is assumed. Then, performing harmonic balance, frequencies of the response are found and stability of the solution is examined over a parameter set. The truncated solution is consistent with an existing infinite series solution for the undamped case. The truncated solution is then applied to the damped Mathieu equation and parametric excitation with two harmonics.

This paper presents an analysis of the forced vibration of rotating blade due to torsional excitation. The model analyzed is a multi-modal forced second order ordinary differential equation with multiple harmonically varying coefficients. The method of Harmonic Balance (HB) is employed to find approximate solutions for each of the blade modes in the form of truncated Fourier series. The solutions have shown multi resonance response for the first blade vibration mode. The examination of the determinant of the harmonic balance solution coefficient matrix for stability purposes has shown that the region between the two resonance points is an unstable vibration region. Numerical integration of the equations is conducted at different frequency ratio points and the results are discussed. This solution provides a very critical operation and design guidance for rotating blade with torsional vibration excitation.

Algebraic expressions are presented which enable the harmonic balance equations to be written down directly in terms of the coefficients of a general nonlinear ship roll equation, without restriction on the number of harmonics considered. The rolling response is then readily computed, as illustrated by an investigation of the resonant modes of ships with angle-dependent cubic damping, or quintic terms in the righting moment. Details are also given of the validation process, showing how simulation time can be reduced by an appropriate choice of initial conditions.

In this paper, we study the response of a linear differential equation, for which the damping coefficient varies periodically in time. We use Floquet theory combined with the harmonic balance method to find the approximate solution and capture the stability criteria. Based on Floquet theory the approximate solution includes the exponential part having an unknown exponent, and a periodic part, which is expressed using a truncated series of harmonics. After substituting the assumed response in the equation, the harmonic balance method is applied. We use the characteristic equation of the truncated harmonic series to obtain the Floquet exponents. The free response and stability characteristics of the damped system for a set of parameters are shown.

A rotating beam subjected to a torsional excitation is studied in this paper. Both quadratic and cubic geometric stiffening nonlinearities are retained in the equation of motion, and the reduced model is obtained via the Galerkin method. Saddle-node bifurcations and Hopf bifurcations of the period-1 motions of the model were obtained via the higher order harmonic balance method. The period-2 and period-4 solutions, which are emanated from the period-1 and period-2 motions, respectively, are obtained by the combined implementation of the harmonic balance method, Floquet theory, and Discrete Fourier transform (DFT). The analytical periodic solutions and their stabilities are verified through numerical simulation.

An experimental study using an analogue electronic model of the equation x‴ + x′ = є sin x, modified by the addition of small terms ax″ and βx with 0 < β < α ≫ є shows that these dissipative terms have a profound effect on the solutions for large time. If ∈ is not too large, experimental solutions tend to a simple periodic form, unlike the case α=β = 0. The existence of this limiting periodic form suggests the possibility of a simple analytic treatment using the method of harmonic balance, and this treatment leads to excellent agreement with the experimental results for a wide range of initial conditions and values of the parameters. The approach towards attracting limiting periodic solutions is analysed by using the method of multiple scales.

The study of second-order damped nonlinear differential equations is important in the development of the theory of dynamical systems and the behavior of the solutions of the over-damped process depends on the behavior of damping forces. We aim to develop and represent a new approximate solution of a nonlinear differential system with damping force and an approximate solution of the damped nonlinear vibrating system with a varying parameter which is based on Krylov–Bogoliubov and Mitropolskii (KBM) Method and Harmonic Balance (HB) Method. By applying these methods we solve and also analyze the finding result of an example. Moreover, the solutions are obtained for different initial conditions, and figures are plotted accordingly where MATHEMATICA and C++ are used as a programming language.

In this paper the incremental harmonic balance method is used to calculate periodic vibrations of nonlinear autonomous multip-degree-of-freedom systems. According to Floquet theory, the stability of a periodic solution is checked by evaluating the eigenvalues of the monodromy matrix. Using the programme MAPLE, the authors have studied the periodic vibrations of the system multi-degree van der Pol form.
