In this paper, galloping vibrations of a lightly iced transmission line are investigated through a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) nonlinear oscillator. The 2-DOF nonlinear oscillator is used to describe the transverse and torsional motions of the galloping cables. The analytical solutions of periodic motions of galloping cables are presented through generalized harmonic balanced method. The analytical solutions of periodic motions for the galloping cable are compared with the numerical solutions, and the corresponding stability and bifurcation of periodic motions are analyzed by the eigenvalues analysis. To demonstrate the accuracy of the analytical solutions of periodic motions, the harmonic amplitudes are presented. This investigation will help one better understand galloping mechanism of iced transmission lines.

In this paper, analytical solutions for period-[Formula: see text] motions in a two-degree-of-freedom (2-DOF) nonlinear oscillator are developed through the finite Fourier series. From the finite Fourier series transformation, the dynamical system of coefficients of the finite Fourier series is developed. From such a dynamical system, the solutions of period-[Formula: see text] motions are obtained and the corresponding stability and bifurcation analyses of period-[Formula: see text] motions are carried out. Analytical bifurcation trees of period-1 motions to chaos are presented. Displacements, velocities and trajectories of periodic motions in the 2-DOF nonlinear oscillator are used to illustrate motion complexity, and harmonic amplitude spectrums give harmonic effects on periodic motions of the 2-DOF nonlinear oscillator.

In this paper, periodic motions of a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear oscillator are studied by using general harmonic balanced method. Stable and unstable period-3 motions are obtained. The corresponding stability and bifurcations of the period-3 motions are determined through the eigenvalue analysis. Both symmetric and asymmetric period-3 motions are found in the system with a certain set of parameter. Numerical simulations of both stable and unstable period-3 motions in the two degrees of freedom systems are illustrated. The harmonic amplitude spectra show the harmonic effects on periodic motions, and the corresponding accuracy of approximate analytical solutions can be observed.

In this paper, bifurcation trees of periodic motions to chaos in a parametric oscillator with quadratic nonlinearity are investigated analytically as one of the simplest parametric oscillators. The analytical solutions of periodic motions in such a parametric oscillator are determined through the finite Fourier series, and the corresponding stability and bifurcation analyses for periodic motions are completed. Nonlinear behaviors of such periodic motions are characterized through frequency–amplitude curves of each harmonic term in the finite Fourier series solution. From bifurcation analysis of the analytical solutions, the bifurcation trees of periodic motion to chaos are obtained analytically, and numerical illustrations of periodic motions are presented through phase trajectories and analytical spectrum. This investigation shows period-1 motions exist in parametric nonlinear systems and the corresponding bifurcation trees to chaos exist as well.

In this paper, all possible stick and non-stick motions in such a friction-induced oscillator are discussed and the corresponding analytical conditions for the stick and non-stick motions to the traveling belts are presented. The mapping structures are introduced and the periodic motions of the two oscillators are presented through the corresponding mapping structure. Velocity and force responses for stick and non-stick, periodic motions in the 2-DOF friction-induced system are illustrated for a better understanding of the motion complexity in such many degrees of freedom systems.

In this paper, the homotopy analysis method (HAM) is extended to deal with the nonlinear aeroelastic problem of a two degree-of-freedom (DOF) airfoil. To avoid determination of the parameter for the complicated high-order minimization problem, a new modified HAM is proposed based on the idea of minimizing the squared residual. Using this method, the convergence-control parameter is determined by the low order squared residual of the governing equations, and then the problem is solved in a way similar to the basic HAM. The proposed method is used to solve the nonlinear aeroelastic behavior of a supersonic airfoil, with the unsteady aerodynamic load evaluated by the piston theory. Two examples are prepared, for which the frequencies and amplitudes of the limit cycles are obtained. The approximate solutions obtained are demonstrated to agree excellently the numerical solutions, meanwhile, the convergence-control parameter can be easily determined using the present approach.
