This paper is concerned with the parametric resonances in a stationary classical annular disc when excited by a rotating mass-spring-damper system together with a frictional follower load. An analysis by the method of multiple scales is performed to reveal the existence of instabilities associated with subcritical parametric resonances, and other instabilities of the backward waves in modes with nodal diameters. The latter are shown to be driven by friction and not to be dependent upon the rotational speed. A state-space analysis, with truncated modes, is used to investigate the effect of varying the friction, stiffness, mass and damping prameters in a series of simulated problems. The results obtained from the state-space eigenvalue method tend to support the conclusions of the multiple scales analysis.

Abstract This paper is concerned with the parametric resonances in a stationary annular disc when excited by a rotating load system. Two forms of the load system are considered. In the first, the load consists of a discrete transverse mass-spring-damper system and a frictional follower load. Secondly, a distributed mass-spring system (without friction) is studied. In both cases the transverse load is rotated at a uniform speed around the disc. Equations of motion are developed for the two cases, and the results of a multiple scales analysis are presented. The disc is found to exhibit many parametric resonances at subcritical speeds when friction is present.

This paper is to demonstrate that axisymmetric plate damping will suppress unbounded response of a stationary, elastic, circular plate excited by a rotating slider. Use of the method of multiple scales shows that the axisymmetric plate damping will suppress parametric resonances excited by slider stiffness and slider inertia at supercritical speed. In addition, the plate damping will increase the onset speed above which slider damping destabilizes the elastic circular plate. Moreover, numerical examples show that the plate damping could stabilize the plate/slider system at discrete rotation speeds above the onset speed.

This paper predicts transverse vibration and stability of a rotating circular plate subjected to stationary, in-plane, concentrated edge loads. First of all, the equation of motion is discretized in a plate-based coordinate system resulting in a set of coupled Hill’s equations. Through use of the method of multiple scales, stability of the rotating plate is predicted in closed form in terms of the rotational speed and the in-plane edge loads. The asymmetric membrane stresses resulting from the stationary in-plane edge loads will transversely excite the rotating plates to single-mode parametric resonances as well as combination resonances at supercritical speed. In addition, introduction of plate damping will suppress the parametric instability when normalized edge loads are small. Moreover, the radial in-plane edge load dominates the rotational speed at which the instability occurs, and the tangential in-plane edge load dominates the width of the instability zones.

An analytical technique, namely the method of multiple scales, is applied to solve the differential equations of free oscillations with even nonlinearities in a mass-spring system. Unlike other perturbation methods, the method of multiple scales is effective in determining the transient response as well as determining the approximation to the frequency of the nonlinear system. In this paper, the periodic solutions of the even nonlinear differential equations have been obtained by using the method of multiple scales. Compared with the numerical examples, the approximate solutions are in good agreement with exact solutions. The numerical and analytical solutions have clearly shown that there exists the so-called drift phenomenon in the free oscillations of systems with even nonlinearities without any external excitation.

Abstract Principal parametric resonances of elastic plates actuated by periodic in-plane stresses effected by embedded piezoelectric wires are investigated to describe the morphing scenarios of flexible, ultra-lightweight panels. A mechanical model of elastic plate including geometric nonlinearities and the parametric actuation provided by the piezoelectric wires, is adopted to formulate the nonlinear equation of motion. A bifurcation analysis is carried out by means of an asymptotic approach based on the method of multiple scales leading to a comprehensive parametric study on the effect of the wires width on the morphing regions (i.e., parametric instability regions) associated with the principal parametric resonances. The threshold voltages triggering the onset of the principal parametric resonances of the lowest three symmetric modes are also calculated as a function of the wires size so as to determine the voltage requirements for the morphing activation.

With the increasing requirement of quiet electrical machines in the civil and defense industry, it is very significant and necessary to predict the vibration and noise characteristics of stator and rotor in the early conceptual phase. Therefore, the combined internal and principal parametric resonances of a stator system excited by radial electromagnetic force are presented in this paper. The stator structure is modeled as a continuum double-shell system which is loaded by a varying distributed electromagnetic load. The nonlinear dynamic equations are derived and solved by the method of multiple scales. The influences of mechanical and electromagnetic parameters on resonance characteristics are illustrated by the frequency-response curves. Furthermore, the Runge-Kutta method is adopted to numerically analyze steady-state response for the further understanding of the resonance characteristics with different parameters.

The method of multiple scales is used to examine the slow modulation of a harmonic wave moving over the surface of a two dimensional channel. The flow is assumed inviscid and incompressible, but the basic flow takes the form of an arbitrary shear. The appropriate nonlinear Schrödinger equation is derived with coefficients that depend, in a complicated way, on the shear. It is shown that this equation agrees with previous work for the case of no shear; it also agrees in the long wave limit with the appropriate short wave limit of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, the shear being arbitrary. Finally, it is remarked that the stability of Stokes waves over any shear can be examined by using the results derived here.

In this work a novel pneumatic artificial muscle is fabricated using golden muga silk and silicon rubber. It is assumed that the muscle force is a quadratic function of pressure. Here a single degree of freedom system is considered where a mass is supported by a spring-damper-and pneumatically actuated muscle. While the spring-mass damper is a passive system, the addition of pneumatic muscle makes the system active. The dynamic analysis of this system is carried out by developing the equation of motion which contains multi-frequency excitations with both forced and parametric excitations. Using method of multiple scales the reduced equations are developed for simple and principal parametric resonance conditions. The time response obtained using method of multiple scales have been compared with those obtained by solving the original equation of motion numerically. Using both time response and phase portraits, variation of few systems parameters have been carried out. This work may find application in developing wearable device and robotic device for rehabilitation purpose.
