The nonlinear vibration of transverse motion of a translating string excited by steady wind force is investigated in this paper. The stability of the equilibrium configuration is analyzed and the generation of limit cycles via multiple Hopf bifurcations is presented. Single-, double-, and quadruple-Hopf bifurcations are determined in the parametric space. The limit-cycle response is solved through the method of Incremental Harmonic Balance, with its stability determined by Floquet multipliers. For the forced vibration, the coexistence of periodic and quasiperiodic motions is found with varying excitation frequency and amplitude. The Neimark–Sacker (NS) bifurcation and the flip bifurcation are demonstrated in an example. The continuation software MATCONT is adopted to identify the fold and NS bifurcations of periodic motions, as well as other codim-2 bifurcations of NS–NS, the Chenciner and the 1:1, 1:3, and 1:4 resonances. These bifurcations present the complexity of the string dynamics induced by steady wind excitations.

This paper presents the stability and bifurcation of transverse motion of translating strings excited by a steady wind flowfield. The stability of the equilibrium configuration is presented for loss of stability and generation of limit cycles via the Hopf bifurcation. It is demonstrated that there are single, double and quadruple Hopf bifurcations in the parametric space that lead to the limit cycle motion. The method of Incremental Harmonic Balance is used to solve the limit cycle response of which the stability is determined by computation of the Floquet multipliers. For the forced vibration, it is pointed out that the periodic and quasi-periodic motions exist as parameters are changed. The quench frequency and the Neimark-Sacker (NS) bifurcation and flip bifurcation are obtained. The continuity software MATCONT is adopted and the Resonance 1:1, 1:3 and 1:4 as well as NS to NS bifurcations are presented. The bifurcation behavior reveals the complexity of the string’s motion response induce by aerodynamic excitations.

In this paper the incremental harmonic balance method is used to calculate periodic vibrations of nonlinear autonomous multip-degree-of-freedom systems. According to Floquet theory, the stability of a periodic solution is checked by evaluating the eigenvalues of the monodromy matrix. Using the programme MAPLE, the authors have studied the periodic vibrations of the system multi-degree van der Pol form.

High-speed milling is often modeled as a kind of highly interrupted machining, when the ratio of time spent cutting to not cutting can be considered as a small parameter. In these cases, the classical regenerative vibration model, playing an essential role in machine tool vibrations, breaks down to a simplified discrete mathematical model. The linear analysis of this discrete model leads to the recognition of the doubling of the so-called instability lobes in the stability charts of the machining parameters. This kind of lobe-doubling is related to the appearance of period doubling vibrations originated in a flip bifurcation. This is a new phenomenon occurring primarily in low-immersion high-speed milling along with the Neimark-Sacker bifurcations related to the classical self-excited vibrations or Hopf bifurcations. The present work investigates the nonlinear vibrations in the case of period doubling and compares this to the well-known subcritical nature of the Hopf bifurcations in turning processes. The identification of the global attractor in the case of unstable cutting leads to contradiction between experiments and theory. This contradiction draws the attention to the limitations of the small parameter approach related to the highly interrupted cutting condition.

The vortex-induced oscillation of TLP tether is investigated in the vicinity of lock-in condition. The vortex shedding is caused purely due to current, which may vary across the depth of the sea. The vibration of TLP is modeled as a SDOF problem by assuming that the first mode response of the tether dominates the motion. Nonlinearity in the equation of motion is produced due to the relative velocity squared drag force. In order to trace different branches of the response curve and investigate different instability phenomena that may exist, an arc-length continuation technique along with the incremental harmonic balance method (IHBC) is employed. A procedure for treating the nonlinear term using distribution theory is presented so that the equation of motion is transformed to a form amenable to the application of IHBC. The stability of the solution is investigated by the Floquet theory using Hsu’s scheme.

The bifurcation problem is one of the most important subjects in dynamical systems. Motivated by M. Li et al. who used compound matrices to judge the stability of matrices and the existence of Hopf bifurcations in continuous dynamical systems, we obtained some effective methods to judge the Schur stability of matrices on the base of the spectral property of compound matrices, which can be used to judge the asymptotical stability and the existence of Hopf bifurcations of discrete dynamical systems.

The efficiency and accuracy of common time and frequency domain methods that are used to simulate the response of a rotor system with malfunctions are compared and analyzed. The Newmark method and the incremental harmonic balance method are selected as typical representatives of time and frequency domain methods, respectively. To improve the simulation efficiency, the fixed interface component mode synthesis approach is combined with the Newmark method and the receptance approach is combined with the incremental harmonic balance method. Numerical simulations are performed for rotor systems with single and double frequency excitations. The inherent characteristic that determines the efficiency of the two methods is analyzed. The results of the analysis indicated that frequency domain methods are suitable single and double frequency excitation rotor systems, whereas time domain methods are more suitable for multifrequency excitation rotor systems.
