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.

AbstractStrongly nonlinear cubic-quintic Duffing oscillatoris considered. Approximate solutions are derived using the multiple scales Lindstedt Poincare method (MSLP), a relatively new method developed for strongly nonlinear oscillators. The free undamped oscillator is considered first. Approximate analytical solutions of the MSLP are contrasted with the classical multiple scales (MS) method and numerical simulations. It is found that contrary to the classical MS method, the MSLP can provide acceptable solutions for the case of strong nonlinearities. Next, the forced and damped case is treated. Frequency response curves of both the MS and MSLP methods are obtained and contrasted with the numerical solutions. The MSLP method and numerical simulations are in good agreement while there are discrepancies between the MS and numerical solutions.

The exact solutions of the nonlinear vibration systems are extremely complicated to be received, so it is crucial to analyze their approximate solutions. This paper employs the spreading residue harmonic balance method (SRHBM) to derive analytical approximate solutions for the fifth-order nonlinear problem, which corresponds to the strongly nonlinear vibration of an elastically restrained beam with a lumped mass. When the SRHBM is used, the residual terms are added to improve the accuracy of approximate solutions. Illustrative examples are provided along with verifying the accuracy of the present method and are compared with the HAM solutions, the EBM solutions, and exact solutions in tables. At the same time, the phase diagrams and time history curves are drawn by the mathematical software. Through analysis and discussion, the results obtained here demonstrate that the SRHBM is an effective and robust technique for nonlinear dynamical systems. In addition, the SRHBM can be widely applied to a variety of nonlinear dynamic systems.

This paper presents the nonlinear vibration of a simply supported Euler-Bernoulli beam with a mass-spring system subjected to a primary resonance excitation. The nonlinearity is due to the mid-plane stretching and cubic spring stiffness. The equations of motion and the boundary conditions are derived using Hamiltons principle. The nonlinear system of equations are solved using the method of multiple scales. Explicit expressions are obtained for the mode shapes, natural frequencies, nonlinear frequencies, and frequency response curves. The validity of the results is demonstrated via comparison with results in the literature. Exact natural frequencies are obtained for different locations, rotational inertias, and masses.

The deliberate introduction of nonlinearities is widely used as an effective technique for the bandwidth broadening of conventional linear energy harvesting devices. This approach not only results in a more uniform behavior of the output power within a wider frequency band through bending the resonance response, but also contributes to energy harvesting from low-frequency excitations by activation of superharmonic resonances. This article investigates the nonlinear dynamics of a monostable piezoelectric harvester under a self-powered electromagnetic actuation. To this end, the governing nonlinear partial differential equations of the proposed harvester are order-reduced and solved by means of the perturbation method of multiple scales. The results indicate that, according to the excitation amplitude and load resistance, different responses can be distinguished at the primary resonance. The system behavior may involve the traditional bending of response curves, Hopf bifurcations, and instability regions. Furthermore, an order-two superharmonic resonance is observed, which is activated at lower excitations in comparison to order-three conventional resonances of the Duffing-type resonator. This secondary resonance makes it possible to extract considerable amounts of power at fractions of natural frequency, which is very beneficial in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)-based harvesters with generally high resonance frequencies. The extracted power in both primary and superharmonic resonances are analytically calculated, then verified by a numerical solution where a good agreement is observed between the results.

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.

This paper investigates electrostatically actuated Double Walled Carbon Nanotubes (DWCNT) cantilever biosensors using the Method of Multiple Scales (MMS) and the Harmonic Balance Method (HBM). Forces acting on the outer tube of the DWCNT are electrostatic, damping, and van der Waals, while only van der Waals acts on the inner tube. The electrostatic actuation is provided by a soft AC voltage. Van der Waals forces are present between the carbon nanotubes, coupling the deflections of the tubes; herein, for modal coordinate transformation, only the linear term of the van der Waals force will be considered. The nonlinearity of the motion is produced by the electrostatic and van der Waals forces. The DWCNT undergoes nonlinear parametric dynamics. MMS is employed to investigate the system under soft excitations and/or weak nonlinearities. The frequency-amplitude response is found in the case of primary resonance. DWCNTs are modelled after the Euler-Bernoulli cantilever beam. The expected nonlinear dynamic behavior is important to improve DWCNT resonator sensitivity in the application of mass sensing.

A generalized Duffing–van der Pol oscillator with nonlinear fractional order damping is introduced and investigated by the residue harmonic homotopy. The cubic displacement involved in fractional operator is used to describe the higher-order viscoelastic behavior of materials and of aerodynamic damping. The residue harmonic balance method is employed to analytically generate higher-order approximations for the steady state responses of an autonomous system. Nonlinear dynamic behaviors of the harmonically forced oscillator are further explored by the harmonic balance method along with the polynomial homotopy continuation technique. A parametric investigation is carried out to analyze the effects of fractional order of damping and the effect of the magnitude of imposed excitation on the system using amplitude-frequency curves. Jump avoidance conditions are addressed. Neimark bifurcations are captured to delineate regions of instability. The existence of even harmonics in the Fourier expansions implies symmetry-breaking bifurcation in certain combinations of system parameters. Numerical simulations are given by comparing with analytical solutions for validation purpose. We find that all Neimark bifurcation points in the response diagram always exist along a straight line.

On base of the electro-magneto-elastic theory and the theory of the bending vibration of the electric beam, nonlinear vibration equation of current-carrying beam subjected to thermal-magneto-elasticity field is studied. The Lorentz force and thermal force on the beam are derived. According to the method of multiple scales for nonlinear vibrations the approximation solution of the primary resonance of the system is obtained. Numerical analysis results show that the amplitude changed with the system parameters. With the decrease of magnetic intensity, the amplitude increases rapidly. The response curve occurs bending phenomenon and soft features is increased gradually. Increasing current, the amplitudes increase. With the decrease of temperature, the peak of response curves decrease. With the increase of temperature, natural frequency decreased. It is useful in practical engineering.
