Abstract In this paper, an experimental forced response analysis for a two degree of freedom piecewise-linear oscillator is discussed. First, a mathematical model of the piecewise linear oscillator is presented. Second, the experimental setup developed for the forced response study is presented. The experimental setup is capable of investigating a two degree of freedom piecewise linear oscillator model. The piecewise linearity is achieved by attaching mechanical stops between two masses that move along common shafts. Forced response tests have been conducted, and the results are presented. Discussion of characteristics of the oscillators are provided based on frequency response, spectrogram, time histories, phase portraits, and Poincaré sections. Period doubling bifurcation has been observed when the excitation frequency changes from a frequency with multiple contacts between the masses to a frequency with single contact between the masses occurs.

Abstract The transverse response of a cable transport system, which is modelled as an ideal, constant tension string travelling at constant speed between two supports with a damped linear oscillator attached to it, is predicted for arbitrary initial conditions, external forces and boundary excitations. The exact formulation of the coupled system reduces to a single integral equation of Volterra type governing the interaction force between the string and the payload oscillator. The time history of the interaction force is discontinuous for non-vanishing damping of the oscillator. These discontinuities occur at the instants when transverse waves propagating along the string interact with the oscillator. The discontinuities are treated using the theory of distributions. Numerical algorithms for computing the integrals involving generalized functions and for solution of the delay-integral-differential equation are developed. Response analysis shows a discontinuous velocity history of the payload attachment point. Special conditions leading to absence of the discontinuities above are given.

The regeneration of highly loaded turbine blades causes small variations of their geometrical parameters. To determine the influence of such regeneration-induced variances of turbine blades on the nozzle excitation, an existing air turbine is extended by a newly designed stage. The aerodynamic and the structural dynamic behavior of the new turbine stage are analyzed. The calculated eigenfrequencies are verified by an experimental modal analysis and are found to be in good agreement. Typical geometric variances of overhauled turbine blades are then applied to stator vanes of the newly designed turbine stage. A forced response analysis of these vanes is conducted using a uni-directional fluid-structure interaction approach. The effects of geometric variances on the forced response of the rotor blade are evaluated. It is shown that the vibration amplitudes of the response are significantly higher for some modes due to the additional wake excitation that is introduced by the geometrical variances e.g. 56 times higher for typical MRO-induced variations in stagger-angle.

We consider the dynamic response of a single-degree-of-freedom system having two-sided amplitude constraints. The model consists of a piecewise-linear oscillator subjected to nonharmonic excitation. A simple impact rule employing a coefficient of restitution is used to characterize the almost instantaneous behavior of impact at the constraints. In this paper periodic and chaotic motions are found. The amplitude and stability of the periodic responses are determined and bifurcation analysis for these motions is carried out. Chaotic motions are found to exist over ranges of forcing periods.

Abstract Coulomb friction has an influence on the behavior of numerous mechanical systems. Coulomb friction systems or dry friction systems are nonlinear in nature. This nonlinear behavior requires complex and time demanding analysis tools to capture the dynamics of these systems. Recently, efforts have been made to develop efficient analysis tools able to approximate the forced response of systems with dry friction. The objective of this paper is to introduce a methodology that assists in these efforts. In this method, the piecewise-linear nonlinear response is separated into individual linear responses that are coupled together through compatibility constraint equations. The new method is demonstrated on a number of systems of varying complexity. The results obtained by the new method are validated through the comparison with results obtained by time integration. The computational savings of the new method is also discussed.

s:Aiming at circumferential arc spring dual mass flywheel (CSDMF), this paper carries out analysis on the piecewise linear model and calculates the frequency response of damped model under sinusoidal excitation. Being combined with the calculate results, the research respectively analyzes the value of inertia ratio, torsional stiffness and damping parameters. The analysis results show that the greater the damping, inertia ratio of primary and secondary flywheels are, the torsional stiffness, the more obvious vibration damping of the dual mass flywheel would be. To meet the vibration damping requirements, the detail design of the three parameters need to be combined with power train and the torsion characteristic of CSDMF.

This study is motivated by the necessity to develop a low order prediction approach for unsteady heat release response characteristics in lean premixed gas turbine combustors. This in turn requires an accurate description of the coherent hydrodynamic oscillations induced in the combustor flow by acoustic forcing. Time resolved velocity and flame position fields are obtained using sPIV and OH-PLIF measurements on a single nozzle, swirl-stabilized, premixed, methane-air flame in a model “unwrapped” annular combustor rig. A natural acoustic oscillation in the rig at 115 Hz results in a coherent flow oscillation that is concentrated primarily within the shear layer between the annular jet flow and the central recirculation zone. A linear stability analysis performed about time averaged base flow fields shows that the flow does not have any self-excited hydrodynamic modes. We then compare predictions from a forced response analysis at a forcing frequency of 115 Hz, based on the linearized Navier-Stokes equations for this coherent response. Good qualitative agreement between linear forced response analysis predictions and experimental response results, is seen for the spatial variation of velocity oscillation amplitude fields, away from the burner centerline. Further, good quantitative agreement between predictions and the experimental response is seen for the phase speed of velocity oscillations along the shear layer between the annular jet and the central recirculation zone. This phase velocity is an important flow field characteristic that has a significant impact on the heat release response that results from these coherent velocity oscillations. Present methods for forced response analysis assume uniform forcing amplitude along the radial direction at the forcing location, as well as, open flows along the streamwise direction. Both these assumptions are not strictly true for the present burner which has a center body on its axis. This maybe the reason for somewhat poor qualitative and quantitative agreement between experiments and predictions at the centerline.

The effects of detailing on the prediction of forced-response in a transonic axial turbine stage, featuring a parted stator design, asymmetric inlet and outlet casings as well as rotor cavities, is investigated. Ensuring the mechanical integrity of components is of paramount importance for the safe and reliable operation of turbomachines. Among others, flow induced resonance excitation can lead to high-cycle fatigue (HCF) and potentially to damage of components unless properly damped. This numerical study is assessing the necessary degree of detailing in terms of spatial and temporal discretization, boundary conditions of the pre-stressed rotor geometry as well as geometrical detailing for the reliable prediction of the aerodynamic excitation of the structure. In this context, the sensitivity of the aerodynamic forcing is analyzed by means of the generalized force criterion, showing a significant influence for some of the investigated variations of the numerical model. Moreover, the origin and further progression of several low-engine-orders (LEO) within the flow field, as well as their interaction with different geometric details has been analyzed based on the numerical results obtained from a full 360° CFD-calculation of the investigated turbine stage. The predicted flow induced vibration of the structure has been validated by means of a full forced-response analysis, where a good agreement with tip-timing data has been found.

The frequency mistuning that occurs due to manufacturing variations and wear and tear of the blades can have a significant effect on the flutter and forced response behavior of a blade row. Similarly, asymmetries in the aerodynamic or excitation forces can tremendously affect the blade responses. When conducting CFD simulations, all blades are assumed to be tuned (i.e. to have the same natural frequency) and the aerodynamic forces are assumed to be the same on each blade except for a shift in interblade phase angle. The blades are thus predicted to vibrate at the same amplitude. However, when the system is mistuned or when asymmetries are present, some blades can vibrate with a much higher amplitude than the tuned, symmetric system. In this research, we first conduct a deterministic forced response analysis of a mistuned rotor and compare the results to experimental data from a compressor rig. It is shown that tuned CFD results cannot be compared directly with experimental data because of the impact of frequency mistuning on forced response predictions. Moreover, the individual impact of frequency, aerodynamic, and forcing function perturbations on the predictions is assessed, leading to the conclusion that a mistuned system has to be studied probabilistically. Finally, all perturbations are combined and Monte-Carlo simulations are conducted to obtain the range of blade response amplitudes that a designer could expect.
