Abstract In this paper, an experimental forced response analysis for a two degree of freedom piecewise-linear oscillator is discussed. First, a mathematical model of the piecewise linear oscillator is presented. Second, the experimental setup developed for the forced response study is presented. The experimental setup is capable of investigating a two degree of freedom piecewise linear oscillator model. The piecewise linearity is achieved by attaching mechanical stops between two masses that move along common shafts. Forced response tests have been conducted, and the results are presented. Discussion of characteristics of the oscillators are provided based on frequency response, spectrogram, time histories, phase portraits, and Poincaré sections. Period doubling bifurcation has been observed when the excitation frequency changes from a frequency with multiple contacts between the masses to a frequency with single contact between the masses occurs.

We consider the dynamic response of a single-degree-of-freedom system having two-sided amplitude constraints. The model consists of a piecewise-linear oscillator subjected to nonharmonic excitation. A simple impact rule employing a coefficient of restitution is used to characterize the almost instantaneous behavior of impact at the constraints. In this paper periodic and chaotic motions are found. The amplitude and stability of the periodic responses are determined and bifurcation analysis for these motions is carried out. Chaotic motions are found to exist over ranges of forcing periods.

Abstract The transverse response of a cable transport system, which is modelled as an ideal, constant tension string travelling at constant speed between two supports with a damped linear oscillator attached to it, is predicted for arbitrary initial conditions, external forces and boundary excitations. The exact formulation of the coupled system reduces to a single integral equation of Volterra type governing the interaction force between the string and the payload oscillator. The time history of the interaction force is discontinuous for non-vanishing damping of the oscillator. These discontinuities occur at the instants when transverse waves propagating along the string interact with the oscillator. The discontinuities are treated using the theory of distributions. Numerical algorithms for computing the integrals involving generalized functions and for solution of the delay-integral-differential equation are developed. Response analysis shows a discontinuous velocity history of the payload attachment point. Special conditions leading to absence of the discontinuities above are given.

AbstractSignificant number of procedures for solving of the finite degree-of-freedom forced nonlinear oscillator are developed. For all of them it is common that they are based on the exact solution of the corresponding linear oscillator. For technical reasons, the aim of this paper is to develop a simpler solving procedure. The rotating vector method, developed for the linear oscillator, is adopted for solving of the nonlinear finite degree-of-freedom oscillator. The solution is assumed in the form of trigonometric functions. Assuming that the nonlinearity is small all terms of the series expansion of the function higher than the first are omitted. The rotating vectors for each mass are presented in the complex plane. In the paper, the suggested rotating vector procedure is applied for solving of a three-degree-of-freedom periodically excited oscillator. The influence of the nonlinear stiffness of the flexible elastic beam, excited with a periodical force, on the resonant properties of the system in whole is investigated. It is obtained that the influence of nonlinearity on the amplitude and phase of vibration is more significant for smaller values of the excitation frequency than for higher ones.

The dynamic response of a two-degree-of-freedom impacting system is considered. The system consists of an inverted pendulum with motion limiting stops attached to a sinusoidally excited mass-spring system. Two types of periodic response for this system are analyzed in detail; existence, stability, and bifurcations of these motions can be explicitly computed using a piecewise linear model. The appearance and loss of stability of very long period subharmonics is shown to coincide with a global bifurcation in which chaotic motions, in the form of Smale horseshoes, arise. Application of this device as an impact damper is also briefly discussed.

This paper investigates the vibration control of a towerlike structure with degrees of freedom utilizing a square or nearly square tuned liquid damper (TLD) when the structure is subjected to horizontal, harmonic excitation. In the theoretical analysis, when the two natural frequencies of the two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) structure nearly equal those of the two predominant sloshing modes, the tuning condition, 1:1:1:1, is nearly satisfied. Galerkin's method is used to derive the modal equations of motion for sloshing. The nonlinearity of the hydrodynamic force due to sloshing is considered in the equations of motion for the 2DOF structure. Linear viscous damping terms are incorporated into the modal equations to consider the damping effect of sloshing. Van der Pol's method is employed to determine the expressions for the frequency response curves. The influences of the excitation frequency, the tank installation angle, and the aspect ratio of the tank cross section on the response curves are examined. The theoretical results show that whirling motions and amplitude-modulated motions (AMMs), including chaotic motions, may occur in the structure because swirl motions and Hopf bifurcations, followed by AMMs, appear in the tank. It is also found that a square TLD works more effectively than a conventional rectangular TLD, and its performance is further improved when the tank width is slightly increased and the installation angle is equal to zero. Experiments were conducted in order to confirm the validity of the theoretical results.

During the design of turbomachinery flow path components, the assessment of possible structural resonant conditions is critical. Higher frequency modes of these structures are frequently found to be subject to resonance, and in these cases, design criteria require a forced response analysis of the structure with the assumption that the excitation speed exactly equals the resonant frequency. The design becomes problematic if the response analysis shows a violation of the HCF criteria. One possible solution is to perform “finite-life” analysis, where Miner’s rule is used to calculate the actual life in seconds in comparison to the required life. In this situation, it is beneficial to incorporate the fact that, for a variety of turbomachinery control reasons, the speed of the rotor does not actually dwell at a single value but instead dithers about a nominal mean speed and during the time that the excitation frequency is not equal to the resonant frequency, the damage accumulated by the structure is diminished significantly. Building on previous investigations into this process, we show that a steady-state assumption of the response is extremely accurate for this typical case, resulting in the ability to quickly account for speed variation in the finite-life analysis of a component which has previously had its peak dynamic stress at resonance calculated. A technique using Monte Carlo simulation is also presented which can be used when specific speed time histories are not available. The implementation of these techniques can prove critical for successful turbopump design, as the improvement in life when speed variation is considered is shown to be greater than a factor of two.

A two-degree-of-freedom piezoelectric motor using only one piezoelectric ceramic was proposed based on two vibration modes (B32 and B23) of a rectangular plate piezoelectric vibrator. The working principle was elaborated. Analytical and numerical models were established in order to design the piezoelectric vibrator. Calculations with finite element method were carried out using ANSYS software to validate the analytical models and demonstrate the elliptical trajectory of the four contact points between the stator and the sphere. Experimental result on the prototype shows that the numerical result including resonance frequency and elliptical motion of the motor indicate good agreement with the experimental one. The rotation speed around an axial along the direction of length of the rectangular piezoelectric vibrator of the motor is 37.7 r/min under the drive voltage 90 V and excitation frequency 44 kHz.
