This research work is concerned with the static and dynamic stability study of an exponentially tapered revolving beam having a circular cross-section exposed to an axial live excitation and a variable temperature grade. The stability is analysed for clamped-clamped, clamped-pinned, and pinned-pinned end arrangements. Hamilton’s principle is used to develop the equation of motion and accompanying end conditions. Then, the non-dimensional form of the equation of motion and the end conditions are found. Galerkin’s process is used to find a number of Hill’s equations from the non-dimensional equations. The parametric instability regions are acquired by means of the Saito-Otomi conditions. The consequences of the variation parameter, revolution speed, temperature grade, and hub radius on the instability regions are examined for both static and dynamic load case and represented by a number of plots. The legitimacy of the results is tested by plotting different graphs between displacement and time using the Runge-Kutta fourth-order method. The results divulge that the stability is increased by increasing the revolution speed; however, an increase in the variation parameter leads to destabilization in the system and for same parameters, the stability is less in the case of a variable temperature grade than that of a constant temperature grade condition.

Abstract The present study generalises previous research work on the dynamics of discrete oscillators with piecewise linear characteristics and investigates the response of a continuous model system with clearance and motion-limiting constraints. More specifically, in the first part of this work, an analysis is presented for determining exact periodic response of a periodically excited deformable rod, whose motion is constrained by a flexible obstacle. This methodology is based on the exact solution form obtained within response intervals where the system parameters remain constant and its behavior is governed by a linear equation of motion. The unknowns of the problem are subsequently determined by imposing an appropriate set of periodicity and matching conditions. The analytical part is complemented by a suitable method for determining the stability properties of the located periodic motions. In the second part of the study, the analysis is applied to several cases in order to investigate the effect of the system parameters on its dynamics. Special emphasis is placed on comparing these results with results obtained for similar but rigid rods. Finally, direct integration of the equation of motion in selected areas reveals the existence of motions, which are more complicated than the periodic motions determined analytically.

Для многих видов медицинских вмешательств требуется применение ультразвуковых инструментов с различными характеристиками. Используются инструменты, совершающие продольные колебания, значительно реже - инструменты с изгибами и крутильными колебаниями, либо достаточно длинные ультразвуковые медицинские инструменты, либо короткие, но тонкие. В таких инструментах часто наблюдается так называемая динамическая потеря устойчивости, когда прямолинейный инструмент, совершающий продольные колебания, внезапно начинает совершать изгибные колебания, амплитуда которых бывает настолько высока, что приводит к разрушению инструмента. Такое явление также называют параметрическим резонансом ультразвуковых инструментов. Цель статьи - анализ условий и параметров, позволяющих минимизировать травматичность применения ультразвуковых медицинских инструментов, исследование в динамике устойчивости ультразвуковых низкочастотных медицинских инструментов. Для определения оптимального набора параметров динамической устойчивости изгибных колебаний ультразвуковых низкочастотных медицинских инструментов используется уравнение Матье-Хилла. В этом аспекте решение задачи сводится к определению: 1) границ областей неустойчивости уравнения Матье; 2) границ областей неустойчивости при разных значениях коэффициента возбуждения; 3) границ областей неустойчивости с применением метода малого параметра. Для исследования динамической устойчивости уравнения колебаний прямолинейного стержня переменного сечения достаточно выполнить расчет коэффициентов уравнения Матье и использовать диаграмму Айнса-Стретта для нахождения точек попадания в область устойчивости. Результаты расчетов показали, что инструменты, изготовленные из титана, обладают высокой динамической устойчивостью, что практически исключает вероятность их разрушения при проведении медицинских операций. Полученные характеристики медицинских инструментов указывают на эффективность их применения в медицинской практике Many types of medical interventions require the use of ultrasound instruments with different characteristics. Instruments that perform longitudinal vibrations are used, much less often-instruments with bends and torsional vibrations, or rather long ultrasound medical instruments, or short, but thin. In such instruments, the so-called dynamic loss of stability is often observed, when a straight-line tool that performs longitudinal vibrations suddenly begins to make bending vibrations, the amplitude of which is so high that it leads to the destruction of the tool. This phenomenon is also called parametric resonance of ultrasonic instruments. The purpose of the article is to analyze the conditions and parameters that allow minimizing the traumaticity of the use of ultrasonic medical instruments, to study the dynamics of the stability of ultrasonic low-frequency medical instruments. The Mathieu-Hill equation is used to determine the optimal set of parameters for the dynamic stability of bending vibrations of ultrasonic low-frequency medical instruments. In this aspect, the solution of the problem is reduced to the definition of: 1) the boundaries of the instability regions of the Mathieu equation; 2) the boundaries of the instability regions at different values of the excitation coefficient; 3) the boundaries of the instability regions using the small parameter method. To study the dynamic stability of the equation of oscillations of a rectilinear rod of variable cross-section, it is sufficient to calculate the coefficients of the Mathieu equation and use the Ains-Strett diagram to find the points of falling into the stability region. The results of the calculations showed that the instruments made of titanium have a high dynamic stability, which practically eliminates the possibility of their destruction during medical operations. The obtained characteristics of medical instruments indicate the effectiveness of their use in medical practice

The purpose of this research is an analysis of the static and dynamic stability of the Modular Airplane System (MAS). The MAS is designed to perform suborbital space flights. The concept assumes that two tailless vehicles bonded together form a conventional aircraft where the wing of the second one is used as the horizontal tail of the whole system. The CFD calculations, and the stability and control derivatives were conducted by the PANUKL package, which uses a low order panel method for the aerodynamic analysis. The analysis of the static and dynamic stability was performed by the SDSA package. Only the selected part of the MAS mission was investigated. The results that will be presented have been divided into three parts: static stability, longitudinal dynamic stability and lateral dynamic stability. The MAS has a few possible applications. The first one is a suborbital space tourism flight. Moreover, it can be used as a lunching vehicle for micro satellites or as a testing platform for new space technology to improve their TRL level. Finally, in the far future, it could be used as a fast point-to-point travel system. The paper presents the results of the static and dynamic stability of a unique aircraft configuration which consists of two tailless vehicles. The research focuses on a situation where the vehicles are just before separation and their mass is similar. Moreover, the influence of the second vehicle’s position with respect to the first one is included.

The objective of the present work is to evaluate the static and dynamic stability of the Flying Wing Unmanned Aircraft Vehicle (UAV) model using the Tornado software. The longitudinal and the lateral-directional aerodynamics were studied using the model with incompressible flow, asymmetric, conditions. The stability coefficients were calculated and give proof that the aircraft is statically stable. Using the stability coefficients, the longitudinal and lateral-directional equations of motion were written to evaluate the dynamic stability of the vehicle. Good flying qualities were obtained, rating in Level 1 for the Cooper and Harper scale.

For railway vehicles having coned wheels mounted on solid axles, there is a conflict between the stability of lateral deviations from the motion along the track and ability to steer round curves. A general theory is developed which shows that any articulated, unsymmetric vehicle, which lacks elastic members in the interconnections between wheelsets, can be made stable for running in one direction only. However, an example of a particular configuration of two-axle vehicle shows that the provision of elastic restraint can make it possible to choose vehicle parameters which ensure static and dynamic stability and perfect steering on curves in either direction of motion.

Local dynamic stability (stability) quantifies how a system responds to small perturbations. Several experimental and clinical findings have highlighted the association between gait stability and fall risk. Walking without shoes is known to slightly modify gait parameters. Barefoot walking may cause unusual sensory feedback to individuals accustomed to shod walking, and this may affect stability. The objective was therefore to compare the stability of shod and barefoot walking in healthy individuals and to analyze the intrasession repeatability. Forty participants traversed a 70 m indoor corridor wearing normal shoes in one trial and walking barefoot in a second trial. Trunk accelerations were recorded with a 3D-accelerometer attached to the lower back. The stability was computed using the finite-time maximal Lyapunov exponent method. Absolute agreement between the forward and backward paths was estimated with the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Barefoot walking did not significantly modify the stability as compared with shod walking (average standardized effect size: +0.11). The intrasession repeatability was high (ICC: 0.73–0.81) and slightly higher in barefoot walking condition (ICC: 0.81–0.87). Therefore, it seems that barefoot walking can be used to evaluate stability without introducing a bias as compared with shod walking, and with a sufficient reliability.

Occupational load carrying tasks are considered one of the major factors contributing to slip and fall injuries. The objective of the current study was to explore the feasibility to assess the stability changes associated with load carrying by local dynamic stability measures. Twenty-five young participants were involved in a treadmill walking study, with their trunk acceleration profiles measured wirelessly by a tri-axial accelerometer. Finite time local dynamic stability was quantified by maximum Lyapunov exponents (maxLE). The results showed a significant increase in long term maxLE in load condition, indicating the declined local dynamic stability due to the load carrying. Thus, current study confirmed the discriminative validity and sensitivity of local dynamic stability measure and its utility in the load carrying scenario.
