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.

Abstract In Part I of this two-part paper, a new benchmark transient model of Inductrack systems is developed. In this Part II, the proposed model, which is governed by a set of non-linear integro-differential governing equations, is used to predict the dynamic response of Inductrack systems. In the development, a state-space representation of the non-linear governing equations is established and a numerical procedure with a specific moving circuit window for transient solutions is designed. The dynamic analysis of Inductrack systems with the proposed model has two major tasks. First, the proposed model is validated through comparison with the noted steady-state results in the literature. Second, the transient response of an Inductrack system is simulated and analyzed in several typical dynamic scenarios. The steady-state response results predicted by the new model agree with those obtained in the previous studies. On the other hand, the transient response simulation results reveal that an ideal steady-state response can hardly exist in those investigated dynamic scenarios. It is believed that the newly developed transient model provides a useful tool for dynamic analysis of Inductrack systems and for in-depth understanding of the complicated electro-magneto-mechanical interactions in this type of dynamic systems.

Incremental Harmonic Balance

Vehicle occupants are exposed to low frequency vibration that can cause fatigue, lower back pain, spine injuries. Therefore, understanding the behavior of a seat-occupant system is important in order to minimize these undesirable vibrations. The properties of seating foam affect the response of the occupant, so there is a need for good models of seat-occupant systems through which the effects of foam properties on the dynamic response can be directly evaluated. In order to understand the role of flexible polyurethane foam in characterizing the complex seat-occupant system behavior better, the response of a single-degree-of-freedom foam-mass system, which is the simplest model representing a seat-occupant system, is studied. The incremental harmonic balance method is used to determine the steady-state behavior of the foam-mass system subjected to sinusoidal base excitation. This method is used to reduce the time required to generate the steady-state response at the driving frequency and at harmonics of the driving frequency from that required when using direct time-integration of the governing equations to determine the steady state response. Using this method, the effects of different viscoelastic models, riding masses, base excitation levels and damping coefficients on the response are investigated.
