Nonlinear dynamics of an axially moving viscoelastic beam subjected to transverse harmonic excitation is studied. The governing equation of motion of this system is discretized by employing Galerkin’s technique which yields a single-degree-of-freedom Duffing system having nonlinear fractional derivative. The viscoelastic properties of the material are described by the fractional Kelvin–Voigt model based on the Caputo definition. The primary resonance is analytically investigated by the averaging method. With the aid of response curves, a parametric study is conducted to display the influences of the fractional order and the viscosity coefficient on steady-state responses. The validations of this study are given through comparisons between the analytical solutions and numerical ones, where the stability of the solutions is determined by the Routh-Hurwitz criterion. It is found that suppression of undesirable responses can be achieved via changing the viscosity of the system.

The parametric excitation of an axially moving plate is examined in an application where a partial foundation moves in the plane of the plate and in a direction orthogonal to the plate’s transport. The stability of the plate’s out-of-plane vibration is of interest in a magnetic tape data storage application where the read/write head is substantially narrower than the tape’s width and is repositioned during track-following maneuvers. In this case, the model’s equation of motion has time-dependent coefficients, and vibration is excited both parametrically and by direct forcing. The parametric instability of out-of-plane vibration is analyzed by using the Floquet theory for finite values of the foundation’s range of motion. For a relatively soft foundation, vibration is excited preferentially at the primary resonance of the plate’s fundamental torsional mode. As the foundation’s stiffness increases, multiple primary and combination resonances occur, and they dominate the plate’s stability; small islands, however, do exist within unstable zones of the frequency-amplitude parameter space for which vibration is marginally stable. The plate’s and foundation’s geometry, the foundation’s stiffness, and the excitation’s amplitude and frequency can be selected in order to reduce undesirable vibration that occurs along the plate’s free edge.

The nonlinear vibration of a travelling beam subjected to principal parametric resonance in presence of internal resonance is investigated. The beam velocity is assumed to be comprised of a constant mean value along with a harmonically varying component. The stretching of neutral axis introduces geometric cubic nonlinearity in the equation of motion of the beam. The natural frequency of second mode is approximately three times that of first mode; a three-to-one internal resonance is possible. The method of multiple scales (MMS) is directly applied to the governing nonlinear equations and the associated boundary conditions. The nonlinear steady state response along with the stability and bifurcation of the beam is investigated. The system exhibits pitchfork, Hopf, and saddle node bifurcations under different control parameters. The dynamic solutions in the periodic, quasiperiodic, and chaotic forms are captured with the help of time history, phase portraits, and Poincare maps showing the influence of internal resonance.

The present paper analyzes the dynamic behavior of a simply supported beam subjected to an axial transport of mass. The Galerkin method is used to discretize the problem: a high dimensional system of ordinary differential equations with linear gyroscopic part and cubic nonlinearities is obtained. The system is studied in the sub and super-critical speed ranges with emphasis on the stability and the global dynamics that exhibits special features after the first bifurcation. A sample case of a physical beam is developed and numerical results are presented concerning the convergence of the series expansion, linear subcritical behavior, bifurcation analysis and stability, and direct simulation of global postcritical dynamics. A homoclinic orbit is found in a high dimensional phase space and its stability and collapse are studied. [S0739-3717(00)00501-8]

The nonlinear dynamics of a cantilever-beam-rigid-body MEMS gyroscope near primary resonance are studied by using a shooting method and long time integration. The microsensor includes a square beam carrying an eccentric end-rigid-body rotating about the longitudinal axis and under an electrostatic force. The mathematical model of the system is reduced by using the method of assumed modes. Using a shooting method and long time integration, the dynamic characteristics of the system are investigated and presented in terms of frequency-response plots and force-response curves. The bifurcation points are discussed and the regions of instability are characterized.

We study the dynamical response of an asymmetric forced, damped Helmholtz-Duffing oscillator by using Jacobi elliptic functions, the method of elliptic balance, and Fourier series. By assuming that the modulus of the elliptic functions is slowly varying as a function of time and by considering the primary resonance response of the Helmholtz-Duffing oscillator, we derived an approximate solution that provides the time-dependent amplitude-frequency response curves. The accuracy of the derived approximate solution is evaluated by studying the evolution of the response curves of an asymmetric Duffing oscillator that describes the motion of a damped, forced system supported symmetrically by simple shear springs on a smooth inclined bearing surface. We also use the percentage overshoot value to study the influence of damping and nonlinearity on the transient and steady-state oscillatory amplitudes.

Transverse vibration of an axially moving viscoelastic sandwich beam is investigated in this paper. Based on the Kelvin constitutive equation, transverse controlling equation is established. First of all, the multiple scales method is applied to obtained steady-state response. Elimination of scales terms will give us the amplitude of vibrations. Additionally, the stability conditions of trivial and non-trivial solutions are analyzed using Routh-Hurwitz criterion. Eventually, numerical results are obtained to show the thickness of core layer, mean velocity, the amplitude of fluctuation effects on natural frequencies and response curves.

The thermo-mechanical nonlinear vibrations and stability of a hinged-hinged axially moving beam, additionally supported by a nonlinear spring-mass support are examined via two numerical techniques. The system is subjected to a transverse harmonic excitation force as well as a thermal loading. Hamilton's principle is employed to derive the equations of motion; it is discretized into a multi-degree-freedom system by means of the Galerkin method. The steady state resonant response of the system for both cases with and without an internal resonance between the first two modes is examined via the pseudo-arclength continuation technique. In the second method, direct time integration is employed to construct bifurcation diagrams of Poincaré maps of the system.

In this paper, the principal resonance is investigated for a cantilever with a contact end. The cantilever is modeled as an Euler–Bernoulli beam, and the contact is modeled by the Derjaguin–Müller–Toporov theory. The problem is formulated as a linear nonautonomous partial-differential equation with a nonlinear autonomous boundary condition. The method of multiple scales is applied to determine the steady-state response. The equation of response curves is derived from the solvability condition of eliminating secular terms. The stability of steady-state responses is analyzed by using the Lyapunov-linearized stability theory. Numerical examples are presented to highlight the effects of the excitation amplitude, the damping coefficient, and the coefficients related to the contact.
