The nonlinear coupled longitudinal-transverse vibrations and stability of an axially moving beam, subjected to a distributed harmonic external force, which is supported by an intermediate spring, are investigated. A?case of three-to-one internal resonance as well as that of non-resonance is considered. The equations of motion are obtained via Hamilton??s principle and discretized into a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations using Galerkin??s method. The resulting equations are solved via two different techniques: the pseudo-arclength continuation method and direct time integration. The frequency-response curves of the system and the bifurcation diagrams of Poincaré maps are analyzed.     

Nonlinear dynamics of an axially moving Timoshenko beam with an internal resonance

This paper investigates the nonlinear forced dynamics of an axially moving Timoshenko beam. Taking into account rotary inertia and shear deformation, the equations of motion are obtained through use of constitutive relations and Hamilton’s principle. The two coupled nonlinear partial differential equations are discretized into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations via Galerkin’s scheme. The set is solved by means of the pseudo-arclength continuation technique and direct time integration. Specifically, the frequency-response curves of the system in the subcritical regime are obtained via the pseudo-arclength continuation technique; the bifurcation diagrams of Poincaré maps are obtained by means of direct time integration of the discretized equations. The resonant response is examined, for the cases when the system possesses a three-to-one internal resonance and when not. Results are shown through time traces, phase-plane portraits, and fast Fourier transforms (FFTs). The results indicate that the system displays a wide variety of rich dynamics.     

NONLINEAR RESPONSES OF A FLUID-CONVEYING PIPE EMBEDDED IN NONLINEAR ELASTIC FOUNDATIONS

The nonlinear responses of planar motions of a fluid-conveying pipe embedded in nonlinear elastic foundations are investigated via the differential quadrature method discretization （DQMD） of the governing partial differential equation. For the analytical model, the effect of the nonlinear elastic foundation is modeled by a nonlinear restraining force. By using an iterative algorithm, a set of ordinary differential dynamical equations derived from the equation of motion of the system are solved numerically and then the bifurcations are analyzed. The numerical results, in which the existence of chaos is demonstrated, are presented in the form of phase portraits of the oscillations. The intermittency transition to chaos has been found to arise.     

Nonlinear dynamics of extensible fluid-conveying pipes,supported at both ends

In this paper, the post-divergence behaviour of extensible fluid-conveying pipes supported at both ends is studied using the weakly nonlinear equations of motion of Semler, Li and Païdoussis. The two coupled nonlinear partial differential equations are discretized via Galerkin's method and the resulting set of ordinary differential equations is solved either by Houbolt's finite difference method or via AUTO. Typically, the pipe is stable at its original static equilibrium position up to the flow velocity where it loses stability by static divergence via a supercritical pitchfork bifurcation. The amplitude of the resultant buckling increases with increasing flow, but no secondary instability occurs beyond the pitchfork bifurcation. The effects of the system parameters on pipe behaviour as well as the possibility of a subcritical pitchfork bifurcation have also been studied.     

Thermo-mechanical nonlinear dynamics of a buckled axially moving beam

The thermo-mechanical nonlinear dynamics of a buckled axially moving beam is numerically investigated, with special consideration to the case with a three-to-one internal resonance between the first two modes. The equation of motion of the system traveling at a constant axial speed is obtained using Hamilton??s principle. A closed form solution is developed for the post-buckling configuration for the system with an axial speed beyond the first instability. The equation of motion over the buckled state is obtained for the forced system. The equation is reduced into a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations via the Galerkin method. This set is solved using the pseudo-arclength continuation technique to examine the frequency response curves and direct-time integration to construct bifurcation diagrams of Poincaré maps. The vibration characteristics of the system at points of interest in the parameter space are presented in the form of time histories, phase-plane portraits, and Poincaré sections.     

Off-center impact of an elastic column by a rigid mass

Based on the Timoshenko beam model the equations of motion are obtained for large deflection of off-center impact of a column by a rigid mass via Hamilton's principle. These are a set of coupled nonlinear partial differential equations. The Newmark time integration scheme and differential quadrature method are employed to convert the equations into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations for displacement components. The equations are solved numerically and the effects of weight and velocity of the rigid mass and also off-center distance on deformation of the column are studied.     

Coupled global dynamics of an axially moving viscoelastic beam

The nonlinear global forced dynamics of an axially moving viscoelastic beam, while both longitudinal and transverse displacements are taken into account, is examined employing a numerical technique. The equations of motion are derived using Newton′s second law of motion, resulting in two partial differential equations for the longitudinal and transverse motions. A two-parameter rheological Kelvin–Voigt energy dissipation mechanism is employed for the viscoelastic structural model, in which the material, not partial, time derivative is used in the viscoelastic constitutive relations; this gives additional terms due to the simultaneous presence of the material damping and the axial speed. The equations of motion for both longitudinal and transverse motions are then discretized via Galerkin’s method, in which the eigenfunctions for the transverse motion of a hinged-hinged linear stationary beam are chosen as the basis functions. The subsequent set of nonlinear ordinary equations is solved numerically by means of the direct time integration via modified Rosenbrock method, resulting in the bifurcation diagrams of Poincaré maps. The results are also presented in the form of time histories, phase-plane portraits, and fast Fourier transform (FFTs) for specific sets of parameters.     

The post-Hopf-bifurcation response of an airfoil in incompressible two-dimensional flow

A bifurcation analysis of a two-dimensional airfoil with a structural nonlinearity in the pitch direction and subject to incompressible flow is presented. The nonlinearity is an analytical third-order rational curve fitted to a structural freeplay. The aeroelastic equations-of-motion are reformulated into a system of eight first-order ordinary differential equations. An eigenvalue analysis of the linearized equations is used to give the linear flutter speed. The nonlinear equations of motion are either integrated numerically using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta method or analyzed using the AUTO software package. Fixed points of the system are found analytically and regions of limit cycle oscillations are detected for velocities well below the divergent flutter boundary. Bifurcation diagrams showing both stable and unstable periodic solutions are calculated, and the types of bifurcations are assessed by evaluating the Floquet multipliers. In cases where the structural preload is small, regions of chaotic motion are obtained, as demonstrated by bifurcation diagrams, power spectral densities, phase-plane plots and Poincaré sections of the airfoil motion; the existence of chaos is also confirmed via calculation of the Lyapunov exponents. The general behaviour of the system is explained by the effectiveness of the freeplay part of the nonlinearity in a complete cycle of oscillation. Results obtained using this reformulated set of equations and the analytical nonlinearity are in good agreement with previously obtained finite difference results for a freeplay nonlinearity.     

Dynamics of a spacecraft with large flexible appendage constrained by multi-strut passive damper

This paper is concerned with the dynamics of a spacecraft with multi-strut passive damper for large flexible appendage.The damper platform is connected to the spacecraft by a spheric hinge,multiple damping struts and a rigid strut.The damping struts provide damping forces while the rigid strut produces a motion constraint of the multibody system.The exact nonlinear dynamical equations in reducedorder form are firstly derived by using Kane’s equation in matrix form.Based on the assumptions of small velocity and small displacement,the nonlinear equations are reduced to a set of linear second-order differential equations in terms of independent generalized displacements with constant stiffness matrix and damping matrix related to the damping strut parameters.Numerical simulation results demonstrate the damping effectiveness of the damper for both the motion of the spacecraft and the vibration of the flexible appendage,and verify the accuracy of the linear equations against the exact nonlinear ones.

The nonlinear governing motion equation of slightly curved pipe with conveying pulsating fluid is set up by Hamilton’s principle. The motion equation is discretized into a set of low dimensional system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations by the Galerkin method. Linear analysis of system is performed upon this set of equations. The effect of amplitude of initial deflection and flow velocity on linear dynamic of system is analyzed. Curves of the resonance responses about \(\varOmega \approx {\omega _\mathrm{{1}}}\) and \(\varOmega \approx \mathrm{{2}}{\omega _\mathrm{{1}}}\) are performed by means of the pseudo-arclength continuation technique. The global nonlinear dynamic of system is analyzed by establishing the bifurcation diagrams. The dynamical behaviors are identified by the phase diagram and Poincare maps.

Nonlinear dynamics of doubly curved shallow microshells

The nonlinear dynamical characteristics of a doubly curved shallow microshell are investigated thoroughly. A consistent nonlinear model for the microshell is developed on the basis of the modified couple stress theory (MCST) in an orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system. In particular, based on Donnell’s nonlinear theory, the expressions for the strain and the symmetric rotation gradient tensors are obtained in the framework of MCST, which are then used to derive the potential energy of the microshell. The analytical geometrically nonlinear equations of motion of the doubly microshell are obtained for in-plane displacements as well as the out-of-plane one. These equations of partial differential type are reduced to a large set of ordinary differential equations making use of a two-dimensional Galerkin scheme. Extensive numerical simulations are conducted to obtain the nonlinear resonant response of the system for various principal radii of curvature and to examine the effect of modal interactions and the length-scale parameter.     

Dynamics of a Flexible Cantilever Beam Carrying a Moving Mass

The motion of a flexible cantilever beam carrying a moving spring-mass system is investigated. The beam is assumed to be an Euler–Bernouli beam. The motion of the system is described by a set of two nonlinear coupled partial differential equations where the coupling terms have to be evaluated at the position of the mass. The nonlinearities arise due to the coupling between the mass and the beam. Due to the nonlinearities the system exhibits internal resonance which is investigated in this work. The equations of motion are solved numerically using the Rayleigh–Ritz method and an automatic ODE solver. An approximate solution using the perturbation method of multiple scales is also obtained.     

SIMILARITY SOLUTIONS OF BOUNDARY LAYER EQUATIONS FOR A SPECIAL NON-NEWTONIAN FLUID IN A SPECIAL COORDINATE SYSTME

Two dimensional equations of steady motion for third order fluids are expressed in a special coordinate system generated by the potential flow corresponding to an inviscid fluid. For the inviscid flow around an arbitrary object, the streamlines are the phicoordinates and velocity potential lines are psi-coordinates which form an orthogonal curvilinear set of coordinates. The outcome, boundary layer equations, is then shown to be independent of the body shape immersed into the flow. As a first approximation, assumption that second grade terms are negligible compared to viscous and third grade terms. Second grade terms spoil scaling transformation which is only transformation leading to similarity solutions for third grade fluid. By ~sing Lie group methods, infinitesimal generators of boundary layer equations are calculated. The equations are transformed into an ordinary differential system. Numerical solutions of outcoming nonlinear differential equations are found by using combination of a Runge-Kutta algorithm and shooting technique.

Sub- and super-critical nonlinear dynamics of a harmonically excited axially moving beam

The sub- and super-critical dynamics of an axially moving beam subjected to a transverse harmonic excitation force is examined for the cases where the system is tuned to a three-to-one internal resonance as well as for the case where it is not. The governing equation of motion of this gyroscopic system is discretized by employing Galerkin’s technique which yields a set of coupled nonlinear differential equations. For the system in the sub-critical speed regime, the periodic solutions are studied using the pseudo-arclength continuation method, while the global dynamics is investigated numerically. In the latter case, bifurcation diagrams of Poincaré maps are obtained via direct time integration. Moreover, for a selected set of system parameters, the dynamics of the system is presented in the form of time histories, phase-plane portraits, and Poincaré maps. Finally, the effects of different system parameters on the amplitude-frequency responses as well as bifurcation diagrams are presented.

Free vibrations of a beam-mass-spring system with different boundary conditions are analyzed both analytically and numerically.In the analytical analysis,the system is divided into three subsystems and the effects of the spring and the point mass are considered as internal boundary conditions between any two neighboring subsystems.The partial differential equations governing the motion of the subsystems and internal boundary conditions are then solved using the method of separation of variables.In the numerical analysis,the whole system is considered as a single system and the effects of the spring and point mass are introduced using the Dirac delta function.The Galerkin method is then employed to discretize the equation of motion and the resulting set of ordinary differential equations are solved via eigenvalue analysis.Analytical and numerical results are shown to be in very good agreement.     

Control structure interaction in the nonlinear analysis of flexible mechanical systems

The effect of the control structure interaction on the feedforward control law as well as the dynamics of flexible mechanical systems is examined in this investigation. An inverse dynamics procedure is developed for the analysis of the dynamic motion of interconnected rigid and flexible bodies. This method is used to examine the effect of the elastic deformation on the driving forces in flexible mechanical systems. The driving forces are expressed in terms of the specified motion trajectories and the deformations of the elastic members. The system equations of motion are formulated using Lagrange's equation. A finite element discretization of the flexible bodies is used to define the deformation degrees of freedom. The algebraic constraint equations that describe the motion trajectories and joint constraints between adjacent bodies are adjoined to the system differential equations of motion using the vector of Lagrange multipliers. A unique displacement field is then identified by imposing an appropriate set of reference conditions. The effect of the nonlinear centrifugal and Coriolis forces that depend on the body displacements and velocities are taken into consideration. A direct numerical integration method coupled with a Newton-Raphson algorithm is used to solve the resulting nonlinear differential and algebraic equations of motion. The formulation obtained for the flexible mechanical system is compared with the rigid body dynamic formulation. The effect of the sampling time, number of vibration modes, the viscous damping, and the selection of the constrained modes are examined. The results presented in this numerical study demonstrate that the use of the driving forees obtained using the rigid body analysis can lead to a significant error when these forces are used as the feedforward control law for the flexible mechanical system. The analysis presented in this investigation differs significantly from previously published work in many ways. It includes the effect of the structural flexibility on the centrifugal and Coriolis forces, it accounts for all inertia nonlinearities resulting from the coupling between the rigid body and elastic displacements, it uses a precise definition of the equipollent systems of forces in flexible body dynamics, it demonstrates the use of general purpose multibody computer codes in the feedforward control of flexible mechanical systems, and it demonstrates numerically the effect of the selected set of constrained modes on the feedforward control law.     

Nonlinear dynamics of axially moving beam with coupled longitudinal–transversal vibrations

In this study, the nonlinear vibrations of an axially moving beam are investigated by considering the coupling of the longitudinal and transversal motion. The Galerkin method is used to truncate the governing partial differential equations into a set of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. By detuning the axially velocity, the exact parameters with which the system may turn to internal resonance are detected. The method of multiple scales is applied to the governing equations to study the nonlinear dynamics of the steady-state response caused by the internal–external resonance. The saturation and jump phenomena of such system have been reported by investigating the nonlinear amplitude–response curves with respect to external excitation, internal, and external detuning parameters. The longitudinal external excitation may trigger only longitudinal response when excitation amplitude is weak. However, beyond the critical excitation amplitude, the response energy will be transferred from the longitudinal motion to the transversal motion even the excitation is employed on the longitudinal direction. Such energy transfer due to saturation has the potential to be used in the vibration suppression.
