This paper presents a general three-dimensional flexible dynamic model of a tip-loaded rotating cantilever beam. For generality, the beam tip is assumed to be loaded with a rigid body with an arbitrary center of mass position, and subject to external force and moment. The coupled longitudinal (axial), bending–bending, and twist elastic motions are considered to formulate the system dynamics. The beam structural internal damping is modeled utilizing Rayleigh’s dissipation function. As well, the influence of gravity is considered. A symbolic code is developed to derive the equations of motion, and it is subsequently used to simulate the dynamics of two numerical case studies. The time response results are found to be in an excellent agreement with those reported from the literature. The effects of internal damping and coupling among the elastic motions on the system dynamic response are then investigated.

In this paper, multibody dynamic modeling and flutter analysis of a flexible slender vehicle are investigated. The method is a comprehensive procedure based on the hybrid equations of motion in terms of quasi-coordinates. The equations consist of ordinary differential equations for the rigid body motions of the vehicle and partial differential equations for the elastic deformations of the flexible components of the vehicle. These equations are naturally nonlinear, but to avoid high nonlinearity of equations the elastic displacements are assumed to be small so that the equations of motion can be linearized. For the aeroelastic analysis a perturbation approach is used, by which the problem is divided into a nonlinear flight dynamics problem for quasi-rigid flight vehicle and a linear extended aeroelasticity problem for the elastic deformations and perturbations in the rigid body motions. In this manner, the trim values that are obtained from the first problem are used as an input to the second problem. The body of the vehicle is modeled with a uniform free–free beam and the aeroelastic forces are derived from the strip theory. The effect of some crucial geometric and physical parameters and the acting forces on the flutter speed and frequency of the vehicle are investigated.

Within the scope of the piecewise homogeneous body model with utilizing of the three dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed bodies the dynamical stress field problem in a bi-layered plate-strip with initial stress under the action of an arbitrary inclined timeharmonic force resting on a rigid foundation is investigated. The concrete materials such as a pair of Aluminum and Steel are selected. It is assumed that there exists a complete contact interaction between the layers. The mathematical modeling of the problem under consideration is carved out, and the governing system of the partial differential equations of motion is approximately solved by employing Finite Element Method. The numerical results related to the influence of certain parameters on the dynamic response of the plate-strip are presented.

We examined the association between changes in swimming velocity, vertical center of mass (CoM) position, and projected frontal area (PFA) during maximal 200-m front crawl. Three well-trained male swimmers performed a single maximal 200-m front crawl in an indoor 25-m pool. Three-dimensional (3D) shape data of the whole body were fitted to 3D motion data during swimming by using inverse kinematics computation to estimate PFA accurately. Swimming velocity decreased, the vertical CoM position was lowered, and PFA increased with swimming distance. There were significant correlations between swimming velocity and vertical CoM position (|r| = 0.797–0.982) and between swimming velocity and PFA (|r| = 0.716–0.884) for each swimmer. These results suggest that descent of the swimmer’s body and increasing PFA with swimming distance are associated with decreasing swimming velocity, although the causal factor remains unclear.

Nonlinear dynamic interactions in harbour quayside cranes due to a two-to-one internal resonance between the lowest bending mode of the deformable boom and the in-plane pendular mode of the container are investigated. To this end, a three-dimensional model of container cranes accounting for the elastic interaction between the crane boom and the container dynamics is proposed. The container is modelled as a three-dimensional rigid body elastically suspended through hoisting cables from the trolley moving along the crane boom modelled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam. The reduced governing equations of motion are obtained through the Euler-Lagrange equations employing the boom kinetic and stored energies, derived via a Galerkin discretisation based on the mode shapes of the two-span crane boom used as trial functions, and the kinetic and stored energies of the rigid body container and the elastic hoisting cables. First, conditions for the onset of internal resonances between the boom and the container are found. A higher order perturbation treatment of the Taylor expanded equations of motion in the neighbourhood of a two-to-one internal resonance between the lowest boom bending mode and the lowest pendular mode of the container is carried out. Continuation of the fixed points of the modulation equations together with stability analysis yields a rich bifurcation behaviour, which features Hopf bifurcations. It is shown that consideration of higher order terms (cubic nonlinearities) beyond the quadratic geometric and inertia nonlinearities breaks the symmetry of the bifurcation equations, shifts the bifurcation points and the stability ranges, and leads to bifurcations not predicted by the low order analysis.

A mathematical model to investigate the dynamic response of a piezoelectric plate-strip with initial stress under the action of a time-harmonic force resting on a rigid foundation is presented within the scope of the three-dimensional linearized theory of electro-elasticity waves in initially stressed bodies (TLTEEWISB). The governing system of equations of motion is solved by employing the Finite Element Method (FEM). The numerical results illustrating the dependencies of different problem parameters are investigated. In particular, the influence of a change in the value of the initial stress parameter on the dynamic response of the plate-strip is discussed.

AbstractIn this paper, we have studied the equations of motion for the problem, which are regularised in the neighbourhood of one of the finite masses and the existence of periodic orbits in a three-dimensional coordinate system when μ = 0. Finally, it establishes the canonical set (l, L, g, G, h, H) and forms the basic general perturbation theory for the problem.

Mechanical face seals are constitutive components of turbomachines, which in turn can be constitutive to other systems (e.g. aircraft). Furthermore, the rotating element of a face seal is inextricably coupled to the turbomachine via a flexible mount, and the stationary seal element is coupled to the rotating seal element via the fluid film existing between the seal faces. Consequentially, understanding interactions between the seal and turbomachine is important for quantifying seal performance and improving its design. With few exceptions, previous works study the face seal dynamics independent from the rotordynamics. In addition, most prior investigations consider only angular and axial seal dynamics and neglect eccentric (i.e. lateral) deflections of the seal element(s). For the first time, this work develops a comprehensive and novel model of a mechanical face seal in the inertial reference frame including coupled rotordynamics and inertial maneuver loads of the overall system. The model is developed for a general seal geometry where both seal elements, stationary and rotating, are flexibly mounted and allowed to undergo angular, axial, and eccentric deflections. In addition, the seal model presented here accounts for transient operation, fluid shear forces, seal face contact, friction, and thermoelastic deformation. Finally, various faults due to manufacturing imperfections, component flaws, and/or installation errors can be accounted for by incorporating static angular misalignment of both seal elements, dynamic angular misalignment of the rotating seal element, eccentric rotating imbalance, and axial offset of the rotating seal element center of mass. Throughout this work, the equations of motion developed are valid for both steady-state and transient operation. This comprehensive model significantly advances the state of the art in mechanical face seal dynamic modeling and represents a pivotal step towards analyzing seal performance regarding a broad diversity of realistic problems.

Equations of motion are formulated for a thin elastic plate that is executing small motions relative to a reference frame undergoing large rigid body motions (three-dimensional rotation and translation) in a Newtonian reference frame. As an illustrative example, a spin-up maneuver for a simply-supported rectangular plate is examined, and the vibration modes of such a plate are used to show that the present theory captures the phenomenon of dynamic stiffening.

We systematize some results on the study of the equations of spatial motion of dynamically symmetric fixed rigid bodies–pendulums located in a nonconservative force fields. The form of these equations is taken from the dynamics of real fixed rigid bodies placed in a homogeneous flow of a medium. In parallel, we study the problem of a spatial motion of a free rigid body also located in a similar force fields. Herewith, this free rigid body is influenced by a nonconservative tracing force; under action of this force, either the magnitude of the velocity of some characteristic point of the body remains constant, which means that the system possesses a nonintegrable servo constraint, or the center of mass of the body moves rectilinearly and uniformly; this means that there exists a nonconservative couple of forces in the system
