Amplitude reduction of primary resonance of nonlinear oscillator by a dynamic vibration absorber using nonlinear coupling

The paper presents the characteristics of a new type of nonlinear dynamic vibration absorber for a main system subjected to a nonlinear restoring force under primary resonance. The absorber is connected to the main system by a link in order to be excited with twice the frequency of the motion of the main system. The natural frequency of the absorber is tuned to be twice the natural frequency of the main system, in contrast to autoparametric vibration absorber, whose natural frequency is tuned to be one-half the natural frequency of the main system. The presented absorber is not excited through the autoparametric resonance, i.e., no trivial equilibrium state exists. Therefore, the absorber always oscillates because of the motion of the main system and cannot be trapped by Coulomb friction acting on the absorber, in contrast to the autoparametric vibration absorber. Under small excitation amplitude, this absorber does not produce an overhang in the frequency response curve, which occurs because of the use of the conventional autoparametric vibration absorber; the overhang renders the response amplitude larger than that in the case without an absorber. In addition, the absorber removes the hysteresis in the frequency response curve caused by the nonlinearity of the restoring force acting on the main system. Regarding large excitation amplitude, the response amplitude in the main system can be decreased by increasing the damping of the absorber, but that decrease is limited by the nonlinearity in the restoring force acting on the main system. This paper also describes experimental validation of the absorber under small excitation amplitude using a simple apparatus.     

Vibration of a Non-Linear Self-Excited System with Two Degrees of Freedom under External and Parametric Excitation

Vibration analysis of a non-linear parametrically self-excited system with two degrees of freedom under harmonic external excitation was carried out in the present paper. External excitation in the main parametric resonance area was assumed in the form of standard force excitation or inertial excitation. Close to the first and second free vibrations frequency, the amplitudes of the system vibrations and the width of synchronization areas were determined. Stability of obtained periodic solutions was investigated. The analytical results were verified and supplemented with the effects of digital and analog simulations.     

Stabilization of a 1/3-order subharmonic resonance using nonlinear dynamic vibration absorber

The paper proposes a stabilization method for a 1/3-order subharmonic resonance with a new type of nonlinear vibration absorber using nonlinear coupling between a main system and the absorber. The main system with nonlinear restoring force and harmonic excitation, i.e., subjected to a sinusoidally changed magnetic force, is introduced as a model which produces a 1/3-order subharmonic resonance. A damped pendulum, whose natural frequency is tuned to be in the neighborhood of twice that of the main system, is connected through a link to the main system as a nonlinear vibration absorber. Theoretical results using the method of multiple scales show that only a stable nontrivial steady state is changed into an unstable one due to the effect of absorber. In addition, we numerically confirm the validity of the proposed absorber using Runge–Kutta method.     

Stochastic stability of parametrically excited random systems

Multidegree-of-freedom dynamic systems subjected to parametric excitation are analyzed for stochastic stability. The variation of excitation intensity with time is described by the sum of a harmonic function and a stationary random process. The stability boundaries are determined by the stochastic averaging method. The effect of random parametric excitation on the stability of trivial solutions of systems of differential equations for the moments of phase variables is studied. It is assumed that the frequency of harmonic component falls within the region of combination resonances. Stability conditions for the first and second moments are obtained. It turns out that additional parametric excitation may have a stabilizing or destabilizing effect, depending on the values of certain parameters of random excitation. As an example, the stability of a beam in plane bending is analyzed.Published in Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 40, No. 10, pp. 135–144, October 2004.     

Multi-mode parametric excitation of a simply supported plate under time-varying and non-uniform edge loading

In this study, multi-mode parametric excitation of a simply supported plate under time-varying and non-uniform edge loading is modeled and the solution is found. Equations for multi-mode parametric excitation of a simply supported plate are derived using stress distributions within the plate as well as on the edges, considering both the effects of non-uniform edge loading and the non-linearity caused by the large deflection. The multi-mode equations are coupled by first-order linear terms, even in the case of simply supported boundary conditions, due to the non-uniform edge loading. The perturbation solutions of two-mode parametric excitation are examined by the method of multiple scales. For the edge loading, which consists of a uniform term as well as a non-uniform one, equations could be coupled or de-coupled by parametric excitation terms, and the numbers and values of the resonance frequencies of the parametric excitations could also differ, depending on whether the non-uniform term of the edge loading is time-varying or not. In addition to the resonant frequencies of the case when only the uniform term of the edge loading is time-varying, there are additional combination resonances at the vicinity of the sum of two natural frequencies of each mode when the non-uniform term of the non-uniform edge loading is time-varying.     

Tailoring of pinched hysteresis for nonlinear vibration absorption via asymptotic analysis

The method of multiple scales is adopted to investigate the dynamic response of a nonlinear Vibration Absorber (VA) whose constitutive behavior is governed by hysteresis with pinching. The asymptotic analysis is first devoted to study the response of the absorber to harmonic excitations and to evaluate its sensitivity to the main constitutive parameters. The frequency response obtained in closed form allows to carry out the stability analysis together with a parametric study leading to behavior charts characterizing multi-valued softening/hardening responses or single-valued, quasi-linear responses. A two-degree-of-freedom model of a primary nonlinear structure endowed with the hysteretic vibration absorber is investigated to explore transfers of energy from the structure to the absorber resulting into optimal vibration amplitude reduction. The asymptotic solution is proved to be in good agreement with the numerical solution obtained via continuation. The asymptotic approach is embedded into a differential evolutionary algorithm to obtain a multi-parameter optimization procedure by which the optimal hysteresis parameters are found.

Resonances of an in-extensional asymmetrical spinning shaft with speed fluctuations

In this study, main and parametric resonances of an asymmetrical spinning shaft with in-extensional nonlinearity and large amplitude are simultaneously investigated. The main resonance is due to inhomogeneous part of the equations of motion, which is due to dynamic imbalances of shaft whereas the parametric resonances are due to parametric excitations due to speed fluctuations and a shaft asymmetry. The shaft is simply supported with unequal mass moments of inertia and flexural rigidities in the direction of principal axes. The equations of motion are derived by the extended Hamilton principle. The stability and bifurcations are obtained by multiple scales method, which is applied to both partial and ordinary differential equations of motion. The influences of asymmetry of shaft, speed fluctuations, inequality between two eccentricities corresponding to the principal axes and external damping on the stability and bifurcation are studied. To investigate the effect of speed fluctuations on the bifurcations and stability the loci of bifurcation points are plotted as function of damping coefficient. The numerical solutions are used to verify the results of multiple scales method. The results of multiple scales method show a good agreement with those of numerical solutions.     

Tuning of a vibration absorber with shunted piezoelectric transducers

In order to reduce structural vibrations in narrow frequency bands, tuned mass absorbers can be an appropriate measure. A quite similar approach which makes use of applied piezoelectric elements, instead of additional oscillating masses, are the well-known resonant shunts, consisting of resistances, inductances, and possibly negative capacitances connected to the piezoelectric element. This paper presents a combined approach, which is based on a conventional tuned mass absorber, but whose characteristics can be strongly influenced by applying shunted piezoceramics. Simulations and experimental analyses are shown to be very effective in predicting the behavior of such electromechanical systems. The vibration level of the absorber can be strongly attenuated by applying different combinations of resistant, resonant, and negative capacitance shunt circuits. The damping characteristics of the absorber can be changed by applying a purely resistive or resonant resistant shunt. Additionally, the tuning frequency of the absorber can be adapted to the excitation frequency, using a negative capacitance shunt circuit, which requires only the energy to supply the electric components.     

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.     

Bifurcation, response scenarios and dynamic integrity in a single-mode model of noncontact atomic force microscopy

The nonlinear dynamical behavior of a single-mode model of noncontact AFM is analyzed in terms of attractors robustness and basins integrity. The model considered for the analyses, proposed in (Hornstein and Gottlieb in Nonlinear Dyn. 54:93–122, 2008), consistently includes the nonlinear atomic interaction and is studied under scan excitation (which appears as parametric excitation) and vertical excitation (which is prevalently external). Local bifurcation analyses are carried out to identify the overall stability boundary in the excitation parameter space as the envelope of system local escapes, to be compared with the one obtained via numerical simulations. The dynamical integrity of periodic bounded solutions is studied, and basin erosion is evaluated by means of two different integrity measures. The obtained erosion profiles allow us to dwell on the possible lack of homogeneous safety of the stability boundary in terms of robustness of the attractors, and to identify practical escape thresholds ensuring an a priori design safety target.     

时变参数时滞减振控制研究

时滞动力吸振器对谐波激励有着良好的减振控制效果,但对随机激励的减振控制效果却并不明显,具体表现为时滞动力吸振器对随机激励的减振控制效果与被动吸振器几乎相同。针对上述问题,本文提出了一种新的时变参数时滞减振控制方法。在原有时滞减振控制方法的基础上,首先将时滞增益系数由定值形式变为时间函数形式,然后通过时变优化得到多组时滞控制参数并使其以一定时间周期循环作用于减振控制过程,通过这种方法进一步改善了时滞动力吸振器减振性能。本文最后以二自由度时滞动力吸振器减振模型为例,以主系统的振动响应为仿真对象,运用精细积分法求解了具有时变时滞参数的时滞动力学方程,以此得到了在谐波激励和随机激励作用下主系统振动的时域仿真结果。研究结果表明,在时变参数时滞动力吸振器的控制下,主系统无论是受谐波激励作用还是受随机激励作用,其振动位移、振动速度和振动加速度均比在定值参数时滞动力吸振器控制下时有大幅的减少,时滞动力吸振器的减振性能有了明显的改善。      

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.     

Local bifurcation theory of nonlinear systems with parametric excitation

This paper summarizes the authors' research on local bifurcation theory of nonlinear systems with parametric excitation since 1986. The paper is divided into three parts. The first one is the local bifurcation problem of nonlinear systems with parametric excitation in cases of fundamental harmonic, subharmonic and superharmonic resonance. The second one is the experiment investigation of local bifurcation solutions in nonlinear systems with parametric excitation. The third one is the universal unfolding study of periodic bifurcation solutions in the nonlinear Hill system, where the influence of every physical parameter on the periodic bifurcation solution is discussed in detail and all the results may be applied to engineering.     

Bifurcations and chaos in parametrically excited single-degree-of-freedom systems

The behavior of single-degree-of-freedom systems possessing quadratic and cubic nonlinearities subject to parametric excitation is investigated. Both fundamental and principal parametric resonances are considered. A global bifurcation diagram in the excitation amplitude and excitation frequency domain is presented showing different possible stable steady-state solutions (attractors). Fractal basin maps for fundamental and principal parametric resonances when three attractors coexist are presented in color. An enlargement of one region of the map for principal parametric resonance reveals a Cantor-like set of fractal boundaries. For some cases, both periodic and chaotic attractors coexist.     

The jump phenomenon effect on the sound absorption of a nonlinear panel absorber and sound transmission loss of a nonlinear panel backed by a cavity

Theoretical analysis of the nonlinear vibration effects on the sound absorption of a panel absorber and sound transmission loss of a panel backed by a rectangular cavity is herein presented. The harmonic balance method is employed to derive a structural acoustic formulation from two-coupled partial differential equations representing the nonlinear structural forced vibration and induced acoustic pressure; one is the well-known von Karman??s plate equation and the other is the homogeneous wave equation. This method has been used in a previous study of nonlinear structural vibration, in which its results agreed well with the elliptic solution. To date, very few classical solutions for this nonlinear structural-acoustic problem have been developed, although there are many for nonlinear plate or linear structural-acoustic problems. Thus, for verification purposes, an approach based on the numerical integration method is also developed to solve the nonlinear structural-acoustic problem. The solutions obtained with the two methods agree well with each other. In the parametric study, the panel displacement amplitude converges with increases in the number of harmonic terms and acoustic and structural modes. The effects of excitation level, cavity depth, boundary condition, and damping factor are also examined. The main findings include the following: (1)?the well-known ??jump phenomenon?? in nonlinear vibration is seen in the sound absorption and transmission loss curves; (2)?the absorption peak and transmission loss dip due to the nonlinear resonance are significantly wider than those in the linear case because of the wider resonant bandwidth; and (3)?nonlinear vibration has the positive effect of widening the absorption bandwidth, but it also degrades the transmission loss at the resonant frequency.     

Stochastic stability of three-dimensional linear systems under parametric random action

The stability of a three-dimensional linear system, driven by a parametric random excitation is considered. The stability of the system is investigated using a combination of stochastic averaging method and a probabilistic approach. For this purpose, it is necessary to find the transient probability density of the components of the vector random process. Thus, the invariant measure of the system may be calculated from the stationary solutions of the associated Fokker–Planck equations. These solutions are obtained numerically, using the sweep method. As a comparison criterion, a digital simulation of It? equations has been carried out using the Monte-Carlo simulation (MCS) method. As an application, the example of instability of a thin-walled bar under the effect of parametric random action is considered     

Vibration absorbers for a rotating flexible structure with cyclic symmetry: nonlinear path design

This paper analytically investigates the nonlinear dynamics of order-tuned vibration absorbers applied to cyclic rotating flexible structures under traveling wave (TW) engine-order excitation. The primary cyclic structure is assumed to be governed by linear vibrations and the nonlinear absorber response arises from large amplitude kinematic effects. These dynamics are captured by a lumped-parameter model that consists of N blades with one blade mode and one absorber per blade, which are arranged with cyclic symmetry on a rotating disk. The governing equations of motion are formulated for arbitrary absorber paths to allow investigation of the absorber path design for nonlinear response. This paper extends previous work by the authors, which considered the linearized blade and absorber dynamics of a similar system. Several intriguing features of the dynamics were uncovered, most notably the existence of an absorber tuning range that avoids resonance at any rotation speed. Of particular interest is the existence and stability of the steady-state TW response to TW excitation, as experienced in turbomachinery, and how these are affected by selection of the absorber paths, which fix the linear and nonlinear tuning characteristics. It is shown that the TW response, which is unique for the linearized system, also exists for the weakly nonlinear model and can be captured by an equivalent two degree of freedom model obtained using the symmetry of the excitation and system response. The forced response exhibits the usual characteristics of a weakly nonlinear system, specifically, bistability and the attendant hysteresis near resonance. More significantly, it does not experience any additional instabilities associated with the symmetry. That is, the desired TW response is robust to nonlinear effects in the absorber, which allows use of the simple equivalent model for selection of absorber tuning parameters. For good performance and robustness, the linear absorber tuning should be in the “no-resonance zone” described by the linear theory and the absorber paths should have a slightly softening nonlinear characteristic.     

Numerical modeling of incline plate LiBr absorber

Among major components of LiBr–H₂O absorption chillers is the absorber, which has a direct effect on the chillier size and whose characteristics have significant effects on the overall efficiency of absorption machines. In this article, heat and mass transfer process in absorption of refrigerant vapor into a lithium bromide solution of water-cooled incline plate absorber in the Reynolds number range of 5 < Re < 150 is performed numerically. The boundary layer assumptions are used for the mass, momentum and energy transport equations and the fully implicit finite difference method is employed to solve the governing equations. Dependence of lithium bromide aqueous properties to the temperature and concentration is employed as well as dependence of film thickness to vapor absorption. An analysis for linear distribution of wall temperature condition carries out to investigate the reliability of the present numerical method through comparing with previous investigation. The effect of plate angle on heat and mass transfer parameters is investigated and the results show that absorption mass flux and heat and mass transfer coefficient increase as the angle of the plate increase. The main parameters of absorber design, namely Nusselt and Sherwood numbers, are correlated as a function of Reynolds Number and the plate angle.
