This work is concerned with single-degree-of-freedom conservative nonlinear oscillators that have a fixed restoring force, which comprises a linear term and an odd-powered nonlinear term with an arbitrary magnitude of the coefficient of nonlinearity. There are two cases of interest: i) non-isochronous, when the system has an amplitude-dependent frequency and ii) isochronous, when the frequency of oscillations is constant (amplitude-independent). The first case is associated with the constant coefficient of the kinetic energy, while the frequency-amplitude relationship and the solution for motion need to be found. To that end, the equation of motion is solved by introducing a new small expansion parameter and by adjusting the Lindstedt-Poincaré method. In the second case, the condition for the frequency of oscillations to be constant is derived in terms of the expression for the position-dependent coefficient of the kinetic energy. The corresponding solution for isochronous oscillations is obtained. Numerical verifications of the analytical results are also presented.

The problem of estimating the parameters in an equation of roll motion from roll measurements only, taken in an irregular sea, is discussed. A single degree of freedom equation of motion is assumed, with a wide-band stochastic input and with a linear-in-the-parameters representation of both the damping and restoration terms. A method based on the Markov property of the energy envelope process, associated with the roll motion, is developed which enables all the relevant parameters to be estimated. The method is validated by applying it to some simulated data, for which the true parameters are known.

Abstract Highly dynamic machining forces can cause excessive and unstable vibrations when industrial robots are used to perform high-force operations such as milling and drilling. Implementing appropriate optimization and control strategies to suppress vibrations during robotic machining requires accurate models of the robot’s vibration response to the machining forces generated at its tool center point (TCP). The existing models of machining vibrations assume the linearity of the structural dynamics of the robotic arm. This assumption, considering the inherent nonlinearities in the robot’s revolute joints, may cause considerable inaccuracies in predicting the extent and stability of vibrations during the process. In this article, a single degree-of-freedom (SDOF) system with the nonlinear restoring force is used to model the vibration response of a KUKA machining robot at its TCP (i.e., machining tool-tip). The experimental identification of the restoring force shows that its damping and stiffness components can be approximated using cubic models. Subsequently, the higher-order frequency response functions (HFRFs) of the SDOF system are estimated experimentally, and the parameters of the SDOF system are identified by curve fitting the resulting HFRFs. The accuracy of the presented SDOF modeling approach in capturing the nonlinearity of the TCP vibration response is verified experimentally. It is shown that the identified models accurately predict the variation of the receptance of the nonlinear system in the vicinity of well-separated peaks, but nonlinear coupling around closely spaced peaks may cause inaccuracies in the prediction of system dynamics.

The dynamic properties of a machine are defined by its kinetic energy, potential energy, and dissipation functions. These functions form the basis for the dynamic analysis of a machine. This paper presents a theory whereby these functions may be determined from the observed forced periodic operating response of a single degree of freedom machine. This method may have applications in machinery development and diagnosis.

AbstractThe steady-state response of forced single degree-of-freedom weakly nonlinear oscillators under primary resonance conditions can exhibit saddle-node bifurcations, jump and hysteresis phenomena, if the amplitude of the excitation exceeds a certain value. This critical value of excitation amplitude or critical forcing amplitude plays an important role in determining the occurrence of saddle-node bifurcations in the frequency-response curve. This work develops an alternative method to determine the critical forcing amplitude for single degree-of-freedom nonlinear oscillators. Based on Lagrange multipliers approach, the proposed method considers the calculation of the critical forcing amplitude as an optimization problem with constraints that are imposed by the existence of locations of vertical tangency. In comparison with the Gröbner basis method, the proposed approach is more straightforward and thus easy to apply for finding the critical forcing amplitude both analytically and numerically. Three examples are given to confirm the validity of the theoretical predictions. The first two present the analytical form for the critical forcing amplitude and the third one is an example of a numerically computed solution.

The dynamic responses of the cam-driven mechanism are investigated, based on a non-linear lumped system model. The nonlinearity is an energy-dissipating element which consists of viscous, quadratic, Coulomb and static frictions combined. The nonlinear equation of motion of a single degree of freedom is first analyzed using a numerical method and the results of time responses are presented and characterized in the phase-plane. The primary and residual shock response spectra in nondimensional form for a number of typical cam input excitations are presented and compared with those of the associated linear cases.

The relationship between the overall damping and response time of resonant biosensors is investigated in this paper. The governing equation of motion is derived using a single degree-of-freedom model of the resonator considering the dynamic effect of adsorption of the measured parameter. It is shown that the adsorption leads to a damping force on the resonant sensor. If not taken into account, this damping force results in misinter-pretation of the sensor readings.

The ultraharmonic resonance of order 2, excited by a centrifugal type disturbing force, is investigated for a single-degree-of-freedom system with a Duffing restoring force characteristic. The effect of gravity is taken into account. The resulting asymmetry of the restoring force is expressed in terms of the static deflection parameter. The Ritz averaging method is used for the theoretical analysis and the results are verified by means of an analogue computer.
