The non-linear natural frequencies of the first three modes of a beam clamped to a rigid rotating hub and carrying a distributed fluid along its span are investigated. The mathematical model is derived using the Lagrangian method and the continuous system is discretized using the assumed mode method. The resulted unimodal nonlinear equation of motion was solved using two methods; harmonic balance (HB) and time transformation (TT), to obtain approximate analytical expressions for the nonlinear natural frequencies. Results have shown that the two terms harmonic balance method (2THB) is more accurate than the time TT method. Results for the effect and type of distribution, i.e. uniform or linearly distributed, on the variation of the nonlinear natural frequency with the rotational speed of the system and how they affect the stability are studied and presented in non-dimensional form.

This paper presents a study on the nonlinear steady state response of a slender beam partially immersed in a fluid and carrying an intermediate mass. The model is developed based on the large deformation theory with the constraint of inextensible beam, which is valid for most engineering structures. The Lagrangian dynamics in conjunction with the assumed mode method is utilized in deriving the non-linear unimodal temporal equation of motion. The distributed and concentrated sinusoidal loads are accounted for in a consistent manner using the assumed mode method. The non-linear equation of motion is, analytically, solved using the single term harmonic balance (SHB) and the two terms harmonic balance (2HB) methods. The stability of the system, under various loading conditions, is investigated. The results are presented, discussed and some conclusions on the partially immersed beam nonlinear dynamics are extracted.

The Stability

A multiple harmonic balance method is presented in this paper for obtaining the aperiodic steady-state solution of a piecewise-linear system. As the method utilizes general and systematic computational procedures, it can be applied to analyze the multi-tone or combination-tone responses for the higher dimensional nonlinear systems such as rotors. Moreover, it is capable of informing the stability of the obtained solution using Floquet theory. To demonstrate the systematic approach of the new method, the almost periodic forced vibration of an articulated loading platform (ALP) with a piecewise-linear stiffness is computed as an example.

Unsteady Simulation

This paper compares various approaches to simulate unsteady blade row interactions in turbomachinery. Unsteady simulations of turbomachinery flows have gained importance over the last years since increasing computing power allows the user to consider 3D unsteady flows for industrially relevant configurations. Furthermore, for turbomachinery flows, the last two decades have seen considerable efforts in developing adequate CFD methods which exploit the rotational symmetries of blade rows and are therefore up to several orders of magnitude more efficient than the standard unsteady approach for full wheel configurations. This paper focusses on the harmonic balance method which has been developed recently by the authors. The system of equations as well as the iterative solver are formulated in the frequency domain. The aim of this paper is to compare the harmonic balance method with the time-linearized as well as the non-linear unsteady approach. For the latter the unsteady flow fields in a fan stage are compared to reference results obtained with a highly resolved unsteady simulation. Moreover the amplitudes of the acoustic modes which are due to the rotor stator interaction are compared to measurement data available for this fan stage. The harmonic balance results for different sets of harmonics in the blade rows are used to explain the minor discrepancies between the time-linearized and unsteady results published by the authors in previous publications. The results show that the differences are primarily due to the neglection of the two-way coupling in the time-linearized simulations.

Continuation Technique

In this paper, we present a validation on a practical example of a harmonic-based numerical method to determine the local stability of periodic solutions of dynamical systems. Based on Floquet theory and Fourier series expansion (Hill method), we propose a simple strategy to sort the relevant physical eigenvalues among the expanded numerical spectrum of the linear periodic system governing the perturbed solution. By mixing the Harmonic Balance Method and Asymptotic Numerical Method continuation technique with the developed Hill method, we obtain a purely-frequency based continuation tool able to compute the stability of the continued periodic solutions in a reduced computation time. This procedure is validated by considering an externally forced string and computing the complete bifurcation diagram with the stability of the periodic solutions. The particular coupled regimes are exhibited and found in excellent agreement with results of the literature, allowing a method validation.

The stability of period-1 motions of a rotating blade with geometric nonlinearity is studied. The roles of cubic stiffening geometric term are considered in the study of nonlinear periodic motions and its stability and bifurcations of a rotating blade. The nonlinear model of a rotating blade is reduced to the ordinary differential equations through the Galerkin method, and the gyroscopic systems with parametric excitations are obtained. The generalized harmonic balance method is employed to determine the period-1 solutions and the corresponding stability and bifurcations.

Piecewise Linear Stiffness

The transverse vibration of a beam moving over two supports with clearance is analyzed using Euler beam theory. The equations of motion are formulated based on a Lagrangian approach and the assumed mode method. The supports with clearance are modeled as frictionless supports with piecewise-linear stiffness. A feature of the present formulation is that its complexity does not increase with increased number of supports. Results of numerical simulations are presented for various prescribed motions of the beam. The effect of support clearance on the stability of the beam is investigated.
