Panel Absorber

This study addresses the frequency–amplitude relationship of a nonlinear symmetric panel absorber mounted on a flexible wall. In many structural–acoustic works, only one flexible panel is considered in their models with symmetric configuration. There are very limited research investigations that focus on two flexible panels coupled with a cavity, particularly for nonlinear structural–acoustic problems. In practice, panel absorbers with symmetric configurations are common and usually mounted on a flexible wall. Thus, it should not be assumed that the wall is rigid. This study is the first work employing the weighted residual elliptic integral method for solving this problem, which involves the nonlinear multi-mode governing equations of two flexible panels coupled with a cavity. The reason for adopting the proposed solution method is that fewer nonlinear algebraic equations are generated. The results obtained from the proposed method and finite element method agree reasonably well with each other. The effects of some parameters such as vibration amplitude, cavity depth and thickness ratio, etc. are also investigated.

This study addresses the free vibration analysis of nonlinear structural-acoustic system with non-rigid boundaries. In practice, the boundaries of a panel–cavity system are usually imperfectly rigid. Therefore, this study examines the effect of cavity boundary on the resonant frequencies of the nonlinear system. It is the first work of employing the elliptic integral approach for solving this problem, which is involved with the nonlinear multi-mode governing equations of a large amplitude panel coupled with a cavity. The main advantage of this approach is that less nonlinear algebraic equations are generated in the solution steps. The present elliptic integral solution agrees reasonably well with the results obtained from a finite element harmonic balance method. The effects of other parameters such as vibration amplitude, cavity depth, aspect ratio, etc., are also investigated.

Pseudospectral Scheme

A new Legendre rational pseudospectral scheme is proposed and developed for solving numerically systems of linear and nonlinear multipantograph equations on a semi-infinite interval. A Legendre rational collocation method based on Legendre rational-Gauss quadrature points is utilized to reduce the solution of such systems to systems of linear and nonlinear algebraic equations. In addition, accurate approximations are achieved by selecting few Legendre rational-Gauss collocation points. The numerical results obtained by this method have been compared with various exact solutions in order to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed method. Indeed, for relatively limited nodes used, the absolute error in our numerical solutions is sufficiently small.

Timoshenko beams have been widely used in structural and mechanical systems. Under dynamic loading, the analytical solution of a Timoshenko beam is often difficult to obtain due to the complexity involved in the equation of motion. In this paper, a modal perturbation method is introduced to approximately determine the dynamic characteristics of a Timoshenko beam. In this approach, the differential equation of motion describing the dynamic behavior of the Timoshenko beam can be transformed into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. Therefore, the solution process can be simplified significantly for the Timoshenko beam with arbitrary boundaries. Several examples are given to illustrate the application of the proposed method. Numerical results have shown that the modal perturbation method is effective in determining the modal characteristics of Timoshenko beams with high accuracy. The effects of shear distortion and moment of inertia on the natural frequencies of Timoshenko beams are discussed in detail.

The nonlinear, steady-state response of a displacement-forced link coupling with clearance with finite stiffness is determined. The solution procedure is derived from satisfying the boundary conditions at the contact points and then solving the resulting nonlinear algebraic equations by setting the duration of contact as a parameter. This direct approach to determining periodic solutions for systems with clearances with finite stiffness is substantially more efficient than numerical integration schemes. Results in terms of contact forces and durations of contact are pertinent to fatigue and wear studies. Parametric relations are presented for effects of the variation of damping, stiffness, exciting displacement, and gap length on the dynamic behavior of the link pair.

A new quantitative method of estimating steady state periodic behavior in nonlinear systems, based on the trigonometric collocation method, is outlined. A procedure is developed to analyze large rotor dynamic systems with nonlinear supports by the use of the above method in conjunction with Component Mode Synthesis. The algorithm discussed is seen to reduce the original problem to solving nonlinear algebraic equations in terms of only the coordinates associated with the nonlinear supports and is a big improvement over commonly used integration methods. The feasibility and advantages of the procedure so developed are illustrated with the help of an example of a typical rotor dynamic system with an uncentered squeeze film damper. Future work on the investigation of the stability of the periodic response so obtained is outlined.

In this paper, an analytical solution is found for the Reynolds equations describing a simple turbulent shear flow carrying small, wake-less particles. An algebraic stress model is used as the basis of the model, the particles leading to source terms in the equations for the turbulent stresses in the flow. The sources are proportional to the mass loading of the particles and depend on the temporal correlations of the fluid velocities seen by particles, Rijτ. The resulting set of equations is a system of nonlinear algebraic equations for the Reynolds stresses and the dissipation. The system is solved exactly and the influence of the particles can be quantified. The predictions are compared with DNS results and are shown to predict trends quite well. Different scenarios are investigated, including the effects of isotropic, anisotropic and non-equilibrium time scales and negative loops in Rijτ. The general trend is to increase anisotropy and attenuate turbulence with higher mass loadings. The occurrence of turbulence enhancement is investigated and shown to be theoretically possible, but physically unlikely.

The Difference

The article considers the midpoint scheme as a finite-difference scheme for a dynamical system of the form ̇ = (). This scheme is remarkable because according to Cooper’s theorem, it preserves all quadratic integrals of motion, moreover, it is the simplest scheme among symplectic Runge-Kutta schemes possessing this property. The properties of approximate solutions were studied in the framework of numerical experiments with linear and nonlinear oscillators, as well as with a system of several coupled oscillators. It is shown that in addition to the conservation of all integrals of motion, approximate solutions inherit the periodicity of motion. At the same time, attention is paid to the discussion of introducing the concept of periodicity of an approximate solution found by the difference scheme. In the case of a nonlinear oscillator, each step requires solving a system of nonlinear algebraic equations. The issues of organizing computations using such schemes are discussed. Comparison with other schemes, including those symmetric with respect to permutation of and .̂

Continuous Seidel method for solving systems of linear and nonlinear algebraic equations is constructed in the article, and the convergence of this method is investigated. According to the method discussed, solving a system of algebraic equations is reduced to solving systems of ordinary differential equations with delay. This allows to use rich arsenal of numerical ODE solution methods while solving systems of algebraic equations. The main advantage of the continuous analogue of the Seidel method compared to the classical one is that it does not require all the elements of the diagonal matrix to be non-zero while solving linear algebraic equations’ systems. The continuous analogue has the similar advantage when solving systems of nonlinear equations.
