Stability And Instability

Energy harvesting is becoming more and more essential in the mechanical vibration application of many devices. Appropriate devices can convert the vibrations into electrical energy, which can be used as a power supply instead of ordinary ones. This study investigated a dynamical system that correlates with two devices, namely a piezoelectric device and an electromagnetic one, to produce two novel models. These devices are connected to a nonlinear damping spring pendulum with two degrees of freedom. The damping spring pendulum is supported by a point moving in a circular orbit. Lagrange’s equations of the second kind were utilized to obtain the equations of motion. The asymptotic solutions of these equations were acquired up to the third approximation using the approach of multiple scales. The comparison between the approximate and the numerical solutions reveals high consistency between them. The steady-state solutions were investigated, and their stabilities were checked. The influences of excitation amplitudes, damping coefficients, and the different frequencies on energy-harvesting device outputs are examined and discussed. Finally, the nonlinear stability analysis of the modulation equations is discussed through the stability and instability ranges of the frequency response curves. The work is significant due to its real-life applications, such as a power supply of sensors, charging electronic devices, and medical applications.

AbstractStrongly nonlinear cubic-quintic Duffing oscillatoris considered. Approximate solutions are derived using the multiple scales Lindstedt Poincare method (MSLP), a relatively new method developed for strongly nonlinear oscillators. The free undamped oscillator is considered first. Approximate analytical solutions of the MSLP are contrasted with the classical multiple scales (MS) method and numerical simulations. It is found that contrary to the classical MS method, the MSLP can provide acceptable solutions for the case of strong nonlinearities. Next, the forced and damped case is treated. Frequency response curves of both the MS and MSLP methods are obtained and contrasted with the numerical solutions. The MSLP method and numerical simulations are in good agreement while there are discrepancies between the MS and numerical solutions.

This paper presents the nonlinear vibration of a simply supported Euler-Bernoulli beam with a mass-spring system subjected to a primary resonance excitation. The nonlinearity is due to the mid-plane stretching and cubic spring stiffness. The equations of motion and the boundary conditions are derived using Hamiltons principle. The nonlinear system of equations are solved using the method of multiple scales. Explicit expressions are obtained for the mode shapes, natural frequencies, nonlinear frequencies, and frequency response curves. The validity of the results is demonstrated via comparison with results in the literature. Exact natural frequencies are obtained for different locations, rotational inertias, and masses.

The deliberate introduction of nonlinearities is widely used as an effective technique for the bandwidth broadening of conventional linear energy harvesting devices. This approach not only results in a more uniform behavior of the output power within a wider frequency band through bending the resonance response, but also contributes to energy harvesting from low-frequency excitations by activation of superharmonic resonances. This article investigates the nonlinear dynamics of a monostable piezoelectric harvester under a self-powered electromagnetic actuation. To this end, the governing nonlinear partial differential equations of the proposed harvester are order-reduced and solved by means of the perturbation method of multiple scales. The results indicate that, according to the excitation amplitude and load resistance, different responses can be distinguished at the primary resonance. The system behavior may involve the traditional bending of response curves, Hopf bifurcations, and instability regions. Furthermore, an order-two superharmonic resonance is observed, which is activated at lower excitations in comparison to order-three conventional resonances of the Duffing-type resonator. This secondary resonance makes it possible to extract considerable amounts of power at fractions of natural frequency, which is very beneficial in micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS)-based harvesters with generally high resonance frequencies. The extracted power in both primary and superharmonic resonances are analytically calculated, then verified by a numerical solution where a good agreement is observed between the results.

The transformation of waste vibration energy into low-power electricity has been heavily researched to enable self-sustained wireless electronic components. Monostable and bistable nonlinear oscillators have been explored by several researchers in an effort to enhance the frequency bandwidth of operation. Linear two degree of freedom (2-DOF) configurations as well as combination of a nonlinear single-DOF harvester with a linear oscillator to constitute a nonlinear 2-DOF harvester have also been explored to develop broadband energy harvesters. In the present work, the concept of nonlinear internal resonance in a continuous frame structure is explored for broadband energy harvesting. The L-shaped beam-mass structure with quadratic nonlinearity was formerly studied in the nonlinear dynamics literature to demonstrate modal energy exchange and the saturation phenomenon when carefully tuned for two-to-one internal resonance. In the current effort, piezoelectric coupling is introduced, and electromechanical equations of the L-shaped energy harvester are employed to explore the primary resonance behaviors around the first and the second linear natural frequencies for bandwidth enhancement. Simulations using approximate analytical frequency response equations as well as time-domain numerical solutions reveal that 2-DOF configuration with quadratic and two-to-one internal resonance could extend the bandwidth enhancement capability. Both electrical power and shunted vibration frequency response curves of steady-state solutions are explored in detail. Effects of various electromechanical system parameters, such as piezoelectric coupling and load resistance, on the overall dynamics of the internal resonance energy harvesting system are reported.

The nonlinear planar response of cantilever metallic beams to combination parametric and external subcombination resonances is investigated, taking into account the effects of cubic geometric and inertia nonlinearities. The beams considered here are assumed to have large length-to-width aspect ratios and thin rectangular cross sections. Hence, the effects of shear deformations and rotatory inertia are neglected. For the case of combination parametric resonance, a two-mode Galerkin discretization along with Hamilton’s extended principle is used to obtain two second-order nonlinear ordinary-differential equations of motion and associated boundary conditions. Then, the method of multiple scales is applied to obtain a set of four first-order nonlinear ordinary-differential equations governing the modulation of the amplitudes and phases of the two excited modes. For the case of subcombination resonance, the method of multiple scales is applied directly to the Lagrangian and virtual-work term. Then using Hamilton’s extended principle, we obtain a set of four first-order nonlinear ordinary-differential equations governing the amplitudes and phases of the two excited modes. In both cases, the modulation equations are used to generate frequency- and force-response curves. We found that the trivial solution exhibits a jump as it undergoes a subcritical pitchfork bifurcation. Similarly, the nontrivial solutions also exhibit jumps as they undergo saddle-node bifurcations.

In this study, nonlinear transverse vibrations of an Euler–Bernoulli beam with multiple supports are considered. The beam is supported with immovable ends. The immovable end conditions cause stretching of neutral axis and introduce cubic nonlinear terms to the equations of motion. Forcing and damping effects are included in the problem. The general arbitrary number of support case is considered at first, and then 3-, 4-, and 5-support cases are investigated. The method of multiple scales is directly applied to the partial differential equations. Natural frequencies and mode shapes for the linear problem are found. The correction terms are obtained from the last order of expansion. Nonlinear frequencies are calculated and then amplitude and phase modulation figures are presented for different forcing and damping cases. The 3:1 internal resonances are investigated. External excitation frequency is applied to the first mode and responses are calculated for the first or second mode. Frequency-response and force-response curves are drawn.

The nonlinear dynamic features of compression roller batteries were investigated together with their nonlinear response to primary resonance excitation and to internal interactions between modes. Starting from a parametric nonlinear model based on a previously developed Lagrangian formulation, asymptotic treatment of the equations of motion was first performed to characterize the nonlinearity of the lowest nonlinear normal modes of the system. They were found to be characterized by a softening nonlinearity associated with the stiffness terms. Subsequently, a direct time integration of the equations of motion was performed to compute the frequency response curves (FRCs) when the system is subjected to direct harmonic excitations causing the primary resonance of the lowest skew-symmetric mode shape. The method of multiple scales was then employed to study the bifurcation behavior and deliver closed-form expressions of the FRCs and of the loci of the fold bifurcation points, which provide the stability regions of the system. Furthermore, conditions for the onset of internal resonances between the lowest roller battery modes were found, and a 2:1 resonance between the third and first modes of the system was investigated in the case of harmonic excitation having a frequency close to the first mode and the third mode, respectively.

Nonlinear Trends

The nonlinear trends of composite laminated plates are investigated. The governing equations of motion for the plate are derived with the von Karman strain-displacement relations for the geometric nonlinearity and the Reddy’s third-order shear deformation plate theory. The four dimensional nonlinear averaged equations with the case of 1/2-subharmonic resonance and principal parametric resonance for the first mode and primary resonance for the second mode are obtained by applying the method of multiple scales. The frequency-response curves are analyzed under consideration of strongly coupled of two modes. The influences of the coefficients in dynamic equations and the detuning parameters on the nonlinear trend are studied, and the results indicate that the composite laminated plate may have different trends of nonlinearity under aforementioned resonance conditions. The sweep experiment is conducted to find the softening and hardening nonlinearity. The different trends are obtained when the excitation amplitude is 1.2g. The spectrums of the different stages of the test show that the change of the nonlinear trend may be caused from the sub-harmonic resonance in this test.

Triple Pendulum

In this article, a nonlinear dynamical system with three degrees of freedom (DOF) consisting of multiple pendulums (MP) is investigated. The motion of this system is restricted to be in a vertical plane, in which its pivot point moves in a circular path with constant angular velocity, under the action of an external harmonic force and a moment acting perpendicular to the direction of the last arm of MP and at the suspension point respectively. Multiple scales technique (MST) among other perturbation methods is used to obtain the approximate solutions of the equations of motion up to the third approximation because it is authorizing to execute a specific analysis of the system behaviour and to realize the solvability conditions given the resonance cases. The stability of the considered dynamical model utilizing the nonlinear stability analysis approach is examined. The solutions diagrams and resonance curves are drawn to illustrate the extent of the effect of various parameters on the solutions. The importance of this work is due to its uses in human or robotic walking analysis.

The major objective of this research is to study the planar dynamical motion of 2DOF of an auto-parametric pendulum attached with a damped system. Using Lagrange’s equations in terms of generalized coordinates, the fundamental equations of motion (EOM) are derived. The method of multiple scales (MMS) is applied to obtain the approximate solutions of these equations up to the second order of approximation. Resonance cases are classified, in which the primary external and internal resonance are investigated simultaneously to establish both the solvability conditions and the modulation equations. In the context of the stability conditions of these solutions, the equilibrium points are obtained and graphically displayed to derive the probable steady-state solutions near the resonances. The temporal histories of the attained results, the amplitude, and the phases of the dynamical system are depicted in graphs to describe the motion of the system at any instance. The stability and instability zones of the system are explored, and it is discovered that the system’s performance is stable for a significant number of its variables.
