Common methods used to determine the solutions for vibration response of continuous systems are assumed mode method, Rayleigh-Ritz method, Galerkin Method, finite element method, etc. Each of these methods requires the shape functions which satisfy the boundary conditions. Shape functions derived in most of the classical textbooks are simple trigonometric functions for some end conditions but are very complex transcendental functions for many end conditions. It is very difficult to determine the vibration response of a continuous system analytically by using such transcendental shape functions. Hence this paper presents a method to develop polynomial shape functions required to solve the vibration of continuous shafts with different end conditions. The natural frequencies obtained from the developed polynomial shape functions are compared to those obtained from the classical transcendental shape functions and found very close for the first three modes.

The traditional approach of using free vibration modes in the assumed mode method often leads to an extremely slow convergence rate, especially when discete interactive forces are involved. By introducing a number of forced modes, significant improvements can be achieved. These forced modes are intrinsic to the structure and the spatial distribution of forces. The motion of the structure can be described exactly by these forced modes and a few free vibration modes provided that certain conditions are satisfied. The forced modes can be viewed as an extension of static modes. The development of a forced mode formulation is outlined and a numerical example is presented.

AbstractThis paper combines the nonlinear Udwadia-Kalaba control approach with the Assumed Mode Method to model flexible structures and derives an attitude controller for a spacecraft. The study case of this paper is a satellite with four flexible cantilever beams attached to a rigid central hub. Two main topics are covered in this paper. The first one is the formulation of the equation of motion and the second one is the nonlinear controller design. The combination of these two techniques is able to provide a controller that damps the vibration of a flexible structure while achieving the desired rigid-motion state.

The improved equations of motion for a friction-engaged brake system have been newly derived on the basis of the assumed mode method and frictional damping. The equations of motion with a finite element model were constructed by a set of vibration modes found from FE modal analysis on all system components. Consequently, the modal information of system components are combined with equations of motion derived from the analytical model. Numerical analysis showed the mode which was unstable in an undamped case became stable in a damped case.

This paper aims to develop an accurate nonlinear mathematical model which may describe the coupled in-plane motion of an axially accelerating beam. The Extended Hamilton’s Principle was utilized to derive the partial differential equations governing the motion of a simply supported beam. The set of the ordinary differential equations were obtained by means of the assumed mode method. The derived elastodynamic model took into account the geometric non-linearity, the time-dependent axial velocity and the coupling between the transverse and longitudinal vibrations. The developed equations were solved numerically using the Runge-Kutta method and the obtained results were presented in terms of the vibrational response graphs and the system natural frequencies. The system dynamic characteristics were explored with a major focus on the influence of the velocity, acceleration and the excitation force frequency. The obtained results showed that the natural frequency decreased significantly at high axial velocities. Also it was found that the system may exhibit unstable behavior at high accelerations.
