In-plane and out-of-plane dynamics of a curved pipe conveying pulsating fluid

This paper investigates the in-plane and out-of-plane dynamics of a curved pipe conveying fluid. Considering the extensibility, von Karman nonlinearity, and pulsating flow, the governing equations are derived by the Newtonian method. First, according to the modified inextensible theory, only the out-of-plane vibration is investigated based on a Galerkin method for discretizing the partial differential equations. The instability regions of combination parametric resonance and principal parametric resonance are determined by using the method of multiple scales (MMS). Parametric studies are also performed. Then the differential quadrature method (DQM) is adopted to discretize the complete pipe model and the nonlinear dynamic equations are carried out numerically with a fourth-order Runge–Kutta technique. The nonlinear dynamic responses are presented to validate the out-of-plane instability analysis and to demonstrate the influence of von Karman geometric nonlinearity. Further, some numerical results obtained in this work are compared with previous experimental results, showing the validity of the theoretical model developed in this paper.     

Nonlinear dynamic analysis of dielectric elastomer membrane with electrostriction

The dielectric elastomer (DE) is an important intelligent soft material widely used in soft actuators, and the dynamic response of the DE is highly nonlinear due to the material properties. In the DE, electrostriction denotes the deformation-dependent permittivity. In the present study, we formulate the nonlinear dynamic governing equations of the DE membrane considering the electrostriction effect. The free vibration and parametric excitation of the DE membrane with different geometric sizes are calculated. The free vibration bifurcations induced by the initial location and the voltage are both discussed according to an energy-based approach. The amplitude-frequency characteristics and bifurcation diagrams of parametric excitation are also given. The results show that electrostriction decreases the free vibration amplitude and increases the frequency, but it has less influence on the parametric excitation oscillation frequency and decreases the parametric excitation amplitude except when the membrane resonates. The initial location and the applied voltage can induce the snap-through instability of the free vibration. A large geometric size will lead to a much lower resonance frequency. The resonance amplitudes increase while the resonance frequencies decrease with the increase in the applied voltage. The critical voltage of snap-through instability for the parametric excitation is larger than that for the free vibration one.

     

Nonlinear Oscillations and Stability of Parametrically Excited Cylindrical Shells

Based on Donnell shallow shell equations, the nonlinear vibrations and dynamic instability of axially loaded circular cylindrical shells under both static and harmonic forces is theoretically analyzed. First the problem is reduced to a finite degree-of-freedom one by using the Galerkin method; then the resulting set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations of motion are solved by the Runge–Kutta method. To study the nonlinear behavior of the shell, several numerical strategies were used to obtain Poincaré maps, Lyapunov exponents, stable and unstable fixed points, bifurcation diagrams, and basins of attraction. Particular attention is paid to two dynamic instability phenomena that may arise under these loading conditions: parametric excitation of flexural modes and escape from the pre-buckling potential well. Calculations are carried out for the principal and secondary instability regions associated with the lowest natural frequency of the shell. Special attention is given to the determination of the instability boundaries in control space and the identification of the bifurcational events connected with these boundaries. The results clarify the importance of modal coupling in the post-buckling solution and the strong role of nonlinearities on the dynamics of cylindrical shells.     

Deterministic and Stochastic Response of Nonlinear Coupled Bending-Torsion Modes in a Cantilever Beam

The purpose of this study is to understand the main differences between the deterministic and random response characteristics of an inextensible cantilever beam (with a tip mass) in the neighborhood of combination parametric resonance. The excitation is applied in the plane of largest rigidity such that the bending and torsion modes are cross-coupled through the excitation. In the absence of excitation, the two modes are also coupled due to inertia nonlinearities. For sinusoidal parametric excitation, the beam experiences instability in the neighborhood of the combination parametric resonance of the summed type, i.e., when the excitation frequency is in the neighborhood of the sum of the first bending and torsion natural frequencies. The dependence of the response amplitude on the excitation level reveals three distinct regions: nearly linear behavior, jump phenomena, and energy transfer. In the absence of nonlinear coupling, the stochastic stability boundaries are obtained in terms of sample Lyapunov exponent. The response statistics are estimated using Monte Carlo simulation, and measured experimentally. The excitation center frequency is selected to be close to the sum of the bending and torsion mode frequencies. The beam is found to experience a single response, two possible responses, or non-stationary responses, depending on excitation level. Experimentally, it is possible to obtain two different responses for the same excitation level by providing a small perturbation to the beam during the test.     

Three-to-One Internal Resonances in Parametrically Excited Hinged-Clamped Beams

The nonlinear planar response of a hinged-clamped beam to a principal parametric resonance of either its first or second mode or a combination parametric resonance of the additive type of its first two modes is investigated. The analysis accounts for mid-plane stretching, a static axial load, a restraining spring at one end, and modal damping. The natural frequency of the second mode is approximately three times the natural frequency of the first mode for a range of static axial loads, resulting in a three-to-one internal resonance. The method of multiple scales is used to attack directly the governing nonlinear integral-partial-differential equation and associated boundary conditions and derive three sets of four first-order nonlinear ordinary-differential equations describing the modulation of the amplitudes and phases of the first two modes in the cases of (a) principal parametric resonance of either the first or the second mode, and (b) a combination parametric resonance of the additive type of these modes. Periodic motions and periodically and chaotically modulated motions of the beam are determined by investigating the equilibrium and dynamic solutions of the modulation equations. For the case of principal parametric resonance of the first mode or combination parametric resonance of the additive type, trivial and two-mode solutions are possible, whereas for the case of parametric resonance of the second mode, trivial, single, and two-mode solutions are possible. The trivial and two-mode equilibrium solutions of the modulation equations may undergo either a supercritical or a subcritical Hopf bifurcation, depending on the magnitude of the axial load. For some excitation parameters, we found complex responses including period-doubling bifurcations and blue-sky catastrophes.     

Nonlinear vibrations of a shell-shaped workpiece during high-speed milling process

This paper is focused on nonlinear dynamics of a shell-shaped workpiece during high speed milling. The shell-shaped workpiece is modeled as a double-curved cantilevered shell subjected to a cutting force with time delay effects. Equations of motion are derived by using the Hamilton principle based on the classical shell theory and von Karman strain-displacement relation. The resulting nonlinear partial differential equations are reduced to a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system by applying the Galerkin approach. The averaging method is used to obtain four-dimensional averaged equations for the case of foundational parametric resonance and 1:2 internal resonance. Using a numerical method, the dynamics of the cantilevered shell-shaped workpiece is studied under time-delay effects, parametric excitation, and forcing excitation. It is found that time-delay parameters have great impact on chaotic motion. With increasing amplitude of forcing and parametric excitations, the shell-shaped workpiece exhibits different dynamic behavior.

Nonlinear dynamics of a three-beam structure with attached mass and three-mode interactions

Nonlinear dynamics of elastic structures with two-mode interactions have been extensively studied in the literature. In this work, nonlinear forced response of elastic structures with essential inertial nonlinearities undergoing three-mode interactions is studied. More specifically, a three-beam structural system with attached mass is considered, and its multidegree-of-freedom discretized model for the structure undergoing planar motions is carefully studied. Linear modal characteristics of the structure with uniform beams depend on the length ratios of the three beams, the mass of the particle relative to that of the structure, and the location of the mass particle along the beams. The discretized model is studied for both external and parametric resonances for parameter combinations resulting in three-mode interactions. For the external excitation case, focus is on the system with 1:2:3 internal resonances with the external excitation frequency near the middle natural frequency. For the case of the structure with 1:2:5 internal resonances, the problem involving simultaneous principal parametric resonance of the middle mode and a combination resonance between the lowest and the highest modal frequencies is investigated. This case requires a higher-order approximation in the method of multiple time scales. For both cases, equilibrium and bifurcating solutions of the slow-flow equations are studied in detail. Many pitchfork, saddle-node, and Hopf bifurcations appear in the amplitude response of the three-beam structure, thus resulting in complex multimode responses in different parameter regions.     

Nonlinear motions of beam-mass structure

We study the planar dynamic response of a flexible L-shaped beam-mass structure with a two-to-one internal resonance to a primary resonance. The structure is subjected to low excitation (mili g) levels and the resulting nonlinear motions are examined. The Lagrangian for weakly nonlinear motions of the undamped structure is formulated and time averaged over the period of the primary oscillation, leading to an autonomous system of equations governing the amplitudes and phases of the modes involved in the internal resonance. Later, modal damping is assumed and modal-damping coefficients, determined from experiments, are included in the analytical model. The locations of the saddle-node and Hopf bifurcations predicted by the analysis are in good agreement, respectively, with the jumps and transitions from periodic to quasi-periodic motions observed in the experiments. The current study is relevant to the dynamics and modeling of other structural systems as well.

Nonlinear Dynamics of a Flexible Spinning Disc Coupled to a Precompressed Spring

This paper analyses the nonlinear transverse vibrations of a rotating, clamped-free, flexible disc coupled to a precompressed spring. This is representative of a large class of loadings in rotating disc systems such as air jet and electromagnetic excitation commonly used in experiments. Such a loading induces a simultaneous critical speed resonance and parametric instability. The disc is modelled as a Von Kármán plate, and the equations of motion are discretised by a Galerkin projection onto a pair of 1:1 internally resonant modes. The large amplitude wave motions and their stabilities are studied using the averaging method and via numerical continuation techniques. The analysis is carried out in a co-rotating as well as a ground-fixed frame. Numerical simulations are used to verify the above analyses. The response predicted by these analyses is substantially different from that arising from a critical speed resonance or of a parametric instability alone. As many as five equilibrium solutions can coexist at supercritical speed. Two distinct regimes of large amplitude response appear to exist depending on the relationship between the strength of the parametric excitation and the damping. The existence of these regimes underscores the subtle competition between critical speed resonance and parametric instability that is likely to be observed in experiments near critical speed in such systems.Contributed by Prof. A.K. Bajaj.

Simultaneous combination and 1:3:5 internal resonances in a parametrically excited beam-mass system

The nonlinear dynamics of a base-excited slender beam carrying a lumped mass subjected to simultaneous combination parametric resonance of sum and difference type along with 1:3:5 internal resonances is investigated. Method of normal form is applied to the governing nonlinear temporal differential equation of motion to obtain a set of first-order differential equations which are used to obtain the steady-state, periodic, quasi-periodic and chaotic responses for different control parameters viz., amplitude and frequency of external excitation and damping. Frequency response, phase portraits, time spectra and bifurcation diagram are plotted to visualize the system behaviour with variation in the control parameters. Here, two distinct zones of trivial instability, blue sky catastrophe phenomena, jump down phenomena, simultaneous occurrence of periodic and chaotic orbits, period doubling of the mixed-mode periodic orbits leading to chaos, attractor merging crisis, boundary crisis, type II and on-off intermittencies are observed. Bifurcation diagram is plotted to facilitate the designer to choose a safe operating zone.     

Principal parametric resonances of a slender cantilever beam subject to axial narrow-band random excitation of its base

The non-linear integro-differential equations of motion for a slender cantilever beam subject to axial narrow-band random excitation are investigated. The method of multiple scales is used to determine a uniform first-order expansion of the solution of equations. According to solvability conditions, the non-linear modulation equations for the principal parametric resonance are obtained. Firstly, The largest Lyapunov exponent which determines the almost sure stability of the trivial solution is quantificationally resolved, in which, the modified Bessel function of the first kind is introduced. Results show that the increase of the bandwidth facilitates the almost sure stability of the trivial response and stabilizes the system for a lower acceleration oscillating amplitude but intensifies the instability of the trivial response for a higher one. Secondly, the first and second order non-trivial steady state response of the system is obtained by perturbation method and the corresponding amplitude–frequency curves are calculated when the bandwidth is very small. Results show that the effective non-linearity of whether the amplitude expectation of the first order steady state response or the amplitude expectation of the second order steady state response is of the hardening type for the first mode, whereas for the second mode the effective non-linearity of whether the amplitude expectation of the first order steady state response or the amplitude expectation of the second order steady state response is of the softening type. Finally, the stochastic jump and bifurcation is investigated for the first and second modal parametric principal resonance. The basic jump phenomena indicate that, under the conditions of system parameters with a smaller bandwidth, the most probable motion is around the non-trivial branch of the amplitude response curve, whereas with a higher bandwidth, the most probable motion is around the trivial one of the amplitude response curve. However, the stochastic jump is sometimes more sensitive to the change of the bandwidth, in other words, a small change of bandwidth may induce a series of stochastic jump and bifurcation.

Non-linear dynamics of curved beams. Part 2, numerical analysis and experiments

The aim of this work is to formulate a model for the study of the dynamics of curved beams undergoing large oscillations. In Part 1, the interest was oriented to the formulation of a consistent analytical model and to obtain the equations of motion in weak form. In Part 2, a case-study is considered and the response for various initial curved configurations, obtained by varying the initial curvature, is analyzed. Both the free and the forced problems are considered: the linear free dynamics are studied to detect how the initial configuration affects the modal properties and to enlighten the typical phenomena of frequency coalescence and avoidance; the forced dynamics are then studied for different internal resonance conditions to enlighten the phenomenon of the dynamic instability under a shear periodic tip follower force and to describe the various classes of post-critical motion. The results of experimental tests conducted on a slightly imperfect straight beam prototype are eventually discussed.
