This paper reports the case of internal resonance three-to-one with frequency of excitation near natural frequency in the case of bending vibrations of nonuniform cantilever with small damping. The case of nonlinear curvature, moderately large amplitudes, is considered. The method of multiple scales is applied directly to the nonlinear partial-differential equation of motion and boundary conditions. The phase-amplitude equations are analytically determined. Steady-state response is reported.

Bio-MEMS/NEMS resonator sensors near twice natural frequency for mass detection are investigated. Electrostatic force along with fringe correction and Casimir effect are included in the model. They introduce parametric nonlinear terms in the system. The partial-differential equation of motion of the system is solved by using the method of multiple scales. A direct approach of the problem is then used. Two approximation problems resulting from the direct approach are solved. Phase-amplitude relationship is obtained. Numerical results for uniform electrostatically actuated micro resonator sensors are reported.

Transverse non-linear vibration is investigated in principal parametric resonance of an axially accelerating viscoelastic beam. The axial speed is characterized as a simple harmonic variation about a constant mean speed. The material time derivative is used in the viscoelastic constitutive relation. The transverse motion can be governed by a non-linear partial-differential equation or a non-linear integro-partial-differential equation. The method of multiple scales is applied to the governing equations to determine steady-state responses. It is confirmed that the mode uninvolved in the resonance has no effect on the steady-state response. The differential quadrature schemes are developed to verify results via the method of multiple scales. It is demonstrated that the straight equilibrium configuration becomes unstable and a stable steady-state emerges when the axial speed variation frequency is close to twice any linear natural frequency. The results derived for two governing equations are qualitatively the same, but quantitatively different. Numerical simulations are presented to examine the effects of the mean speed and the variation of the amplitude of the axial speed, the dynamic viscosity, the non-linear coefficients, and the boundary constraint stiffness on the instability interval and the steady-state response amplitude.

In this paper, primary resonances of a simply supported rotating shaft with stretching non-linearity are studied. Rotary inertia and gyroscopic effects are included, but shear deformation is neglected. The equations of motion are derived with the aid of Hamilton's principle and then transformed to the complex form. To analyse the primary resonances, the method of multiple scales is directly applied to the partial differential equation of motion. The frequency—response curves are plotted for the first two modes. It is shown that these resonance curves are of the hardening type. The effects of eccentricity and the damping coefficient are investigated on the steady-state response of the rotating shaft.

This paper deals with electrostatically actuated micro resonators response near twice natural frequency. Both the electrostatic force (including fringe effect) and the Casimir force are included in the model. They introduce parametric nonlinear terms in the system. The partial-differential equation of motion of the system is solved by using the method of multiple scales. A direct approach of the problem is then used. Two approximation problems resulting from the direct approach are solved. The phase-amplitude relationship is obtained. Numerical results for uniform electrostatically actuated micro resonator sensors are provided.

Abstract An elementary system with gears and excited by unbalance mass has been constructed for analyzing the interaction between torsion and bending vibration in rotor dynamics. For this system, only the interaction caused primarily by unbalance mass has been investigated. The stability and bifurcation characteristics of the system have been studied by numerical computation based on Hopf bifurcation and Floquet theory. The results show that the interaction between torsion and bending vibrations can affect the stability and bifurcation of the unbalance response, in particular the onset speed of instability. In addition to the above, the interaction also affects the steady-state response. To investigate the influence of unbalance mass, the periodic solution and its stability have been studied near the first bending critical speed of the decoupled system. All the results show that the coupling of torsion and bending vibrations can have a significant influence on the nonlinear dynamics of the whole system.

In this work a novel pneumatic artificial muscle is fabricated using golden muga silk and silicon rubber. It is assumed that the muscle force is a quadratic function of pressure. Here a single degree of freedom system is considered where a mass is supported by a spring-damper-and pneumatically actuated muscle. While the spring-mass damper is a passive system, the addition of pneumatic muscle makes the system active. The dynamic analysis of this system is carried out by developing the equation of motion which contains multi-frequency excitations with both forced and parametric excitations. Using method of multiple scales the reduced equations are developed for simple and principal parametric resonance conditions. The time response obtained using method of multiple scales have been compared with those obtained by solving the original equation of motion numerically. Using both time response and phase portraits, variation of few systems parameters have been carried out. This work may find application in developing wearable device and robotic device for rehabilitation purpose.

Nonlinear harmonic vibration analysis of a clamped-clamped micro-beam is studied in this paper. Nonlinear forced vibration of a special kind of micro-actuators is examined for the first time. Galerkin method is employed to derive the equation of motion of the micro-beam with two symmetric potential wells. An electric force composed of DC and AC components is applied to the structure. Multiple Scales method (MSM) is used to solve the nonlinear equation of motion. Primary and secondary resonances are taken into account and steady-state response of the microbeam is obtained. A parametric study is then carried out to investigate the effects of different parameters on the amplitude-frequency curves. Finally, phase plot and Poincare map have been taken into consideration to investigate the influence of the amplitude of the harmonic excitation on stability of the microelectromechanical system.

This paper investigates the voltage response of superharmonic resonance of the second order of electrostatically actuated nano-electro-mechanical system (NEMS) resonator sensor. The structure of the NEMS device is a resonator cantilever over a ground plate under Alternating Current (AC) voltage. Superharmonic resonance of second order occurs when the AC voltage is operating in a frequency near-quarter the natural frequency of the resonator. The forces acting on the system are electrostatic, damping and Casimir. To induce a bifurcation phenomenon in superharmonic resonance, the AC voltage is in the category of hard excitation. The gap distance between the cantilever resonator and base plate is in the range of 20 nm to 1 μm for Casimir forces to be present. The differential equation of motion is converted to dimensionless by choosing the gap as reference length for deflections, the length of the resonator for the axial coordinate, and reference time based on the characteristics of the structure. The Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) and Reduced Order Model (ROM) are used to model the characteristic of the system. MMS transforms the nonlinear partial differential equation of motion into two simpler problems, namely zero-order and first-order. ROM, based on the Galerkin procedure, uses the undamped linear mode shapes of the undamped cantilever beam as the basis functions. The influences of parameters (i.e. Casimir, damping, fringe, and detuning parameter) were also investigated.

This paper predicts transverse vibration and stability of a rotating circular plate subjected to stationary, in-plane, concentrated edge loads. First of all, the equation of motion is discretized in a plate-based coordinate system resulting in a set of coupled Hill’s equations. Through use of the method of multiple scales, stability of the rotating plate is predicted in closed form in terms of the rotational speed and the in-plane edge loads. The asymmetric membrane stresses resulting from the stationary in-plane edge loads will transversely excite the rotating plates to single-mode parametric resonances as well as combination resonances at supercritical speed. In addition, introduction of plate damping will suppress the parametric instability when normalized edge loads are small. Moreover, the radial in-plane edge load dominates the rotational speed at which the instability occurs, and the tangential in-plane edge load dominates the width of the instability zones.
