Abstract In this paper, resonance responses and bifurcations of the circular mesh antenna with 1:3 internal resonance in thermal environment are studied. Considering this internal resonance, based on the equivalent circular mesh antenna model, which is a composite laminated circular cylindrical shell clamped along a generatrix and with the radial pre-stretched membranes at both ends in thermal environment, we obtain the amplitude-frequency response curves of the system in the state-parameter space by using the prediction-correction continuation algorithm in order to study the bifurcation characteristics of the equivalent circular mesh antenna model. Meanwhile, the fold bifurcation points and Antronov-Hopf bifurcation points are detected and located on these resonance response curves. We find that the nonlinear vibrations of the equivalent circular mesh antenna model have the hardening characteristics, and the temperature excitation has noticeable effects on the stabilities and bifurcations of this system.

This paper investigates the nonlinear breathing vibrations and chaos of a circular truss antenna under changing thermal environment with 1:2 internal resonance for the first time. A continuum circular cylindrical shell clamped by one beam along its axial direction on one side is proposed to replace the circular truss antenna composed of the repetitive beam-like lattice by the principle of equivalent effect. The effective stiffness coefficients of the equivalent circular cylindrical shell are obtained. Based on the first-order shear deformation shell theory and the Hamilton’s principle, the nonlinear governing equations of motion are derived for the equivalent circular cylindrical shell. The Galerkin approach is utilized to discretize the nonlinear partial governing differential equation of motion to the ordinary differential equation for the equivalent circular cylindrical shell. The case of the 1:2 internal resonance, primary parametric resonance and 1/2 subharmonic resonance is taken into account. The method of multiple scales is used to obtain the four-dimensional averaged equation. The frequency-response curves and force-response curves are obtained when considering the strongly coupled of two modes. The numerical results indicate that there are the hardening type and softening type nonlinearities for the circular truss antenna. Numerical simulation is used to investigate the influences of the thermal excitation on the nonlinear breathing vibrations of the circular truss antenna. It is demonstrated from the numerical results that there exist the bifurcation and chaotic motions of the circular truss antenna.

Abstract We study chaotic dynamics and the phase-locking phenomenon of the circular mesh antenna with 1:3 internal resonance subjected to the temperature excitation in this paper. Firstly, the frequencies and modes of the circular mesh antenna are analyzed by the finite element method, it is found that there is an approximate threefold relationship between the first-order and the fourth-order vibrations of the circular mesh antenna. Considering a composite laminated circular cylindrical shell clamped along a generatrix and with the radial pre-stretched membranes at both ends subjected to the temperature excitation, we study the nonlinear dynamic behaviors of the equivalent circular mesh antenna model based on the fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm, which are described by the bifurcation diagrams, waveforms, phase plots and Poincaré maps in the state-parameter space. It is found that there appear the Pomeau-Manneville type intermittent chaos. According to the topology evolution of phase trajectories, the phase-locking phenomena are found.

The performance of the cantilever beam autoparametric vibration absorber with a lumped mass attached at an arbitrary point on the beam span is investigated. The absorber would have a distinct feature that in addition to the two-to-one internal resonance, the one-to-three and one-to-five internal resonances would also occur between flexural modes of the beam by tuning the mass and position of the lumped mass. Special attention is paid on studying the effect of these resonances on increasing the effectiveness and extending the range of excitation amplitudes at which the autoparametric vibration absorber remains effective. The problem is formulated based on the third-order nonlinear Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, where the assumed-mode method is used for deriving the discretized equations of motion. The numerical continuation method is then applied to obtain the frequency response curves and detect the bifurcation points. The harmonic balance method is also employed for detecting the type of internal resonances between flexural modes by inspecting the frequency response curves corresponding to different harmonics of the response. Parametric studies on the performance of the absorber are conducted by varying the position and mass of the lumped mass, while the frequency ratio of the primary system to the first mode of the beam is kept equal to two. Results indicated that the one-to-five internal resonance is especially responsible for the considerable enhancement of the performance.

The dynamics associated with bouncing-type partial contact cycles are considered for a 2 degree-of-freedom unbalanced rotor in the rigid-stator limit. Specifically, analytical explanation is provided for a previously proposed criterion for the onset upon increasing the rotor speed Ω of single-bounce-per-period periodic motion, namely internal resonance between forward and backward whirling modes. Focusing on the cases of 2 : 1 and 3 : 2 resonances, detailed numerical results for small rotor damping reveal that stable bouncing periodic orbits, which coexist with non-contacting motion, arise just beyond the resonance speed Ω p : q . The theory of discontinuity maps is used to analyse the problem as a codimension-two degenerate grazing bifurcation in the limit of zero rotor damping and Ω  =  Ω p : q . An analytic unfolding of the map explains all the features of the bouncing orbits locally. In particular, for non-zero damping ζ , stable bouncing motion bifurcates in the direction of increasing Ω speed in a smooth fold bifurcation point that is at rotor speed O ( ζ ) beyond Ω p : q . The results provide the first analytic explanation of partial-contact bouncing orbits and has implications for prediction and avoidance of unwanted machine vibrations in a number of different industrial settings.

We study the dynamical response of an asymmetric forced, damped Helmholtz-Duffing oscillator by using Jacobi elliptic functions, the method of elliptic balance, and Fourier series. By assuming that the modulus of the elliptic functions is slowly varying as a function of time and by considering the primary resonance response of the Helmholtz-Duffing oscillator, we derived an approximate solution that provides the time-dependent amplitude-frequency response curves. The accuracy of the derived approximate solution is evaluated by studying the evolution of the response curves of an asymmetric Duffing oscillator that describes the motion of a damped, forced system supported symmetrically by simple shear springs on a smooth inclined bearing surface. We also use the percentage overshoot value to study the influence of damping and nonlinearity on the transient and steady-state oscillatory amplitudes.

Passive control of vibrations in an elastic structure subjected to horizontal, harmonic excitation by utilizing a nearly square liquid tank is investigated. When the natural frequency ratio 1:1:1 is satisfied among the natural frequencies of the structure and the two predominant sloshing modes (1,0) and (0,1), the performance of a nearly square tank as a tuned liquid damper (TLD) is expected to be superior to rectangular TLDs due to internal resonance. In the theoretical analysis, Galerkin's method is used to determine the modal equations of motion for liquid sloshing considering the nonlinearity of sloshing. Then, van der Pol's method is used to obtain the expressions for the frequency response curves for the structure and sloshing modes. Frequency response curves and bifurcation set diagrams are shown to investigate the influences of the aspect ratio of the tank cross section and the tank installation angle on the system response. From the theoretical results, the optimal values of the system parameters can be determined in order to achieve maximum efficiency of vibration suppression for the structure. Hopf bifurcations occur and amplitude modulated motions (AMMs) may appear depending on the values of the system parameters. Experiments were also conducted, and the theoretical results agreed well with the experimental data.

The nonlinear responses of a single-degree-of-freedom system with two pendulum tuned mass dampers under horizontal sinusoidal excitation are investigated. In the theoretical analysis, van der Pol’s method is applied to determine the expressions for the frequency response curves. In the numerical results, the differences between the responses in single- and dual-pendulum systems are shown. A pitchfork bifurcation occurs followed by mode localization where both identical pendula vibrate at constant but different amplitudes. Hopf bifurcations occur, and then amplitude- and phase-modulated motions including chaotic vibrations appear in the identical dual-pendulum system. The Lyapunov exponents are calculated to prove the occurrence of chaotic vibrations. In a nonidentical dual-pendulum system, a perturbed pitchfork bifurcation occurs and saddle-node bifurcation points appear instead of pitchfork bifurcation points. Hopf bifurcations and amplitude- and phase-modulated motions also appear. The deviation of the tuning condition is also investigated by showing the frequency response curves and bifurcation sets. The numerical simulations are shown to be in good agreement with the theoretical results. In experiments, the imperfections of the two pendula were taken into consideration, and the validity of the theoretical analysis was confirmed.

Both the primary and superharmonic resonance responses of a rigid rotor supported by active magnetic bearings are investigated by means of the total harmonic balance method that does not linearize the nonlinear terms so that all solution branches can be studied. Two sets of second order ordinary differential equations governing the modulation of the amplitudes of vibration in the two orthogonal directions normal to the shaft axis are derived. Primary resonance is considered by six equations and superharmonic by eight equations. These equations are solved using the polynomial homotopy continuation technique to obtain all the steady state solutions whose stability is determined by the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix. It is found that different shapes of frequency-response and forcing amplitude-response curves can exist. Multiple-valued solutions, jump phenomenon, saddle-node, pitchfork and Hopf bifurcations are observed analytically and verified numerically. The new contributions include the foolproof multiple solutions of the strongly nonlinear system by means of the total harmonic balance. Some predicted frequency varying amplitudes could not be obtained by the multiple scales method.

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.
