Nonlinear integral resonant controller for vibration reduction in nonlinear systems

A new nonlinear integral resonant controller (NIRC) is introduced in this paper to suppress vibration in nonlinear oscillatory smart structures. The NIRC consists of a first-order resonant integrator that provides additional damping in a closed-loop system response to reduce high-amplitude nonlinear vibration around the fundamental reso-nance frequency. The method of multiple scales is used to obtain an approximate solution for the closed-loop system. Then closed-loop system stability is investigated using the resulting modulation equation. Finally, the effects of different control system parameters are illustrated and an approximate solution response is verified via numerical simulation results. The advantages and disadvantages of the proposed controller are presented and extensively discussed in the results. The controlled system via the NIRC shows no high-amplitude peaks in the neighboring frequencies of the resonant mode, unlike conventional second-order compensation methods. This makes the NIRC controlled system robust to excitation frequency variations.     

Forced response of quadratic nonlinear oscillator: comparison of various approaches

The primary resonances of a quadratic nonlinear system under weak and strong external excitations are investigated with the emphasis on the comparison of different analytical approximate approaches. The forced vibration of snap-through mechanism is treated as a quadratic nonlinear oscillator. The Lindstedt-Poincaré method, the multiple-scale method, the averaging method, and the harmonic balance method are used to determine the amplitude-frequency response relationships of the steady-state responses. It is demonstrated that the zeroth-order harmonic components should be accounted in the application of the harmonic balance method. The analytical approximations are compared with the numerical integrations in terms of the frequency response curves and the phase portraits. Supported by the numerical results, the harmonic balance method predicts that the quadratic nonlinearity bends the frequency response curves to the left. If the excitation amplitude is a second-order small quantity of the bookkeeping parameter, the steady-state responses predicted by the second-order approximation of the LindstedtPoincaré method and the multiple-scale method agree qualitatively with the numerical results. It is demonstrated that the quadratic nonlinear system implies softening type nonlinearity for any quadratic nonlinear coefficients.     

Vibration and stability of an aircraft tail under simultaneous primary-combined and internal resonance

This paper adds a negative velocity feedback to the dynamical system of twin-tail aircraft to suppress the vibration. The system is represented by two coupled second-order nonlinear differential equations having both quadratic and cubic nonlinearities. The system describes the vibration of an aircraft tail subjected to both multi-harmonic and multi-tuned excitations. The method of multiple time scale perturbation is adopted to solve the nonlinear differential equations and obtain approximate solutions up to the third order approximations. The stability of the proposed analytic solution near the simultaneous primary, combined and internal resonance is studied and its conditions are determined. The effect of different parameters on the steady state response of the vibrating system is studied and discussed by using frequency response equations. Some different resonance cases are investigated numerically     

Forced Vibration of Continuous System with Unsymmetrical Collision Characteristics

This paper deals with steady-state response of a continuous system with nonlinear boundary conditions which are motion-limiting constraint. An analytical method of approximate solution for the continuous system with unsymmetrical collision characteristics in which the beam end collides with a stop once in one period of its vibration is presented. Some numerical results of the approximate solution are shown. Contrary to the case of continuous system with symmetrical collision characteristics, the resonance curves of nonlinear response of approximate solution are shown as discontinuous line. Some numerical results of a continuous system with no hysteresis damping are compared with those of a continuous system with hysteresis damping and a single-degree-of-freedom system.     

Two-to-one resonant multi-modal dynamics of horizontal/inclined cables. Part I: Theoretical formulation and model validation

This paper is first of the two papers dealing with analytical investigation of resonant multi-modal dynamics due to 2:1 internal resonances in the finite-amplitude free vibrations of horizontal/inclined cables. Part I deals with theoretical formulation and validation of the general cable model. Approximate nonlinear partial differential equations of 3-D coupled motion of small sagged cables – which account for both spatio-temporal variation of nonlinear dynamic tension and system asymmetry due to inclined sagged configurations – are presented. A multi-dimensional Galerkin expansion of the solution of nonplanar/planar motion is performed, yielding a complete set of system quadratic/cubic coefficients. With the aim of parametrically studying the behavior of horizontal/inclined cables in Part II [25], a second-order asymptotic analysis under planar 2:1 resonance is accomplished by the method of multiple scales. On accounting for higher-order effects of quadratic/cubic nonlinearities, approximate closed-form solutions of nonlinear amplitudes, frequencies and dynamic configurations of resonant nonlinear normal modes reveal the dependence of cable response on resonant/nonresonant modal contributions. Depending on simplifying kinematic modeling and assigned system parameters, approximate horizontal/inclined cable models are thoroughly validated by numerically evaluating statics and non-planar/planar linear/non-linear dynamics against those of the exact model. Moreover, the modal coupling role and contribution of system longitudinal dynamics are discussed for horizontal cables, showing some meaningful effects due to kinematic condensation.     

Analysis of Duffing oscillator with time-delayed fractional-order PID controller

The free vibration of Duffing oscillator with time-delayed fractional-order Proportional-Integral-Derivative (FOPID) controller based on displacement feedback is studied. The second-order approximate analytical solution is obtained by KBM asymptotic method. The effects of the parameters in FOPID controller on the dynamical properties are characterized by some equivalent parameters. The correctness of the approximate analytical results is verified by the numerical results. The effects of the time-delayed FOPID controller with displacement feedback on control performances of Duffing oscillator are analyzed in detail by time response, and the stability conditions of zero solution and periodic motions are also presented. Finally, the control performances on Duffing oscillator with large damping are further analyzed. And the results show that one could take the advantage of time delay, when the parameters of time-delayed FOPID controller are chosen reasonably.

Nonlinear dynamics of an inclined beam subjected to a moving load

In this paper, the nonlinear dynamic response of an inclined pinned-pinned beam with a constant cross section, finite length subjected to a concentrated vertical force traveling with a constant velocity is investigated. The study is focused on the mode summation method and also on frequency analysis of the governing PDEs equations of motion. Furthermore, the steady-state response is studied by applying the multiple scales method. The nonlinear response of the beam is obtained by solving two coupled nonlinear PDEs governing equations of planar motion for both longitudinal and transverse oscillations of the beam. The dynamic magnification factor and normalized time histories of mid-pint of the beam are obtained for various load velocity ratios and the outcome results have been illustrated and compared to the results with those obtained from traditional linear solution. The appropriate parametric study considering the effects of the linear viscous damping, the velocity of the traveling load, beam inclination angle under zero or nonzero axial load are carried out to capture the influence of the effect of large deflections caused by stretching effects due to the beam’s immovable ends. It was seen that quadratic nonlinearity renders the softening effect on the dynamic response of the beam under the act of traveling load. Also in the case where the object leaves the inclined beam, its planar motion path is derived and the targeting accuracy is investigated and compared with those from the rigid solution assumption. Moreover, the stability analysis of steady-state response for the modes equations having quadratic nonlinearity was carried out and it was observed from the frequency response curves that for the considered parameters in the case of internal-external primary resonance, both saturation phenomenon and jump phenomenon can be predicted for the longitudinal excitation.

The nonlinear dynamics of a hybrid Rayleigh–Van der Pol–Duffing oscillator includes pure and impure quadratic damping are investigated. The multiple timescales method is used to study exhaustively various resonances states. It is noticed that the system presents nine resonances states. The frequency response curves of quintic, third and second superharmonic, and subharmonic resonances states are obtained. Bistability, hysteresis, and jump phenomenon are also obtained. It is pointed out that these resonance phenomena are strongly related to the nonlinear cubic and quadratic damping and to the external force. The numerical simulations are used to make bifurcation sequences displayed by the model for each type of oscillatory. It is noticed that the pure quadratic, impure cubic damping, and external excitation affect regular and chaotic states.     

Vibration suppression of a time-varying stiffness AMB bearing to multi-parametric excitations via time delay controller

The applications of active magnetic bearings are growing in industry due to its amazing advantages in reducing friction losses. In this research, the vibration of a two-degree-of-freedom rotor, active magnetic bearings system is suppressed via a nonlinear time delay controller at the confirmed worst resonance case. The selected resonance case is the simultaneous primary and sub-harmonic resonance case. The main aim of this paper was to study the effects of the nonlinear, time delay controller on the behavior of the vibrating system. The multiple time scale perturbation technique is applied to obtain an approximate solution to the second-order approximation. The steady-state solution is obtained around the worst resonance case. The stability of the system is studied applying both frequency response equations and phase-plane method. The worst resonance case is confirmed applying numerical technique. The effects of the different parameters on the steady-state response of the vibrating system are investigated. The obtained approximate solution is validated numerically. Some recommendations are given regarding the design of such system. At the end of the work, a comparison is made with the available published work.     

On the nonlinear oscillations of a horizontally supported Jeffcott rotor with a nonlinear restoring force

This paper deals with the vibration analysis of a horizontally supported Jeffcott rotor system. Both nonlinear restoring force and the rotor weight are considered in the system modeling. The model shows a small difference between the natural frequencies of the vertical and horizontal mode. The multiple scales perturbation technique is utilized to obtain a second-order approximate solution at the simultaneous resonance case. The bifurcation analyses are conducted. The stability of the obtained solution is investigated by applying Lyapunov first method. The influences of all the parameters on the system behavior are explored. The Effect of both the negative and positive values of the nonlinear stiffness coefficient is studied. At the large rotor eccentricity, the analysis revealed the following: (1) the existence of three different stable solutions in an interval of the rotational speed. (2) The disk exposed to two consecutive jumps if its speed crossed the resonant speed. (3) For a soft spring, localized and nonlocalized oscillation in both the horizontal and vertical mode occurs. (4) For a hard spring, nonlocalized oscillation occurs in the two directions in addition to the localized motion in the vertical direction only (5) The system is very sensitive to initial conditions. Then, numerical simulations are performed to confirm the accuracy of the approximate results. It is found that the predictions from the analytical solutions are in a good agreement with the numerical simulations. Finally, a comparison with previously published work is included.     

Primary resonance of coupled cantilevers subjected to magnetic interaction

Based on a distributed-parameter model, the forced vibration of a cantilever pair excited by a sinusoidal base movement is analyzed. Two cantilevers are coupled at their free ends by a linear spring. A nonlinear concentrated magnetic force acts on the tip of one cantilever, serving at the nonlinear boundary condition of the continuous model. The magnetic force is modeled as a fractional function, strongly dependent on the distance between two magnets. Via the method of multiple scales, the primary resonance is analyzed for all modes. A second-order approximate solution and its stability condition are analytically captured. It is revealed that the frequency–response curves are sensitive to the distance between the two magnets. The curve may exhibit the hardening-type, softening-type or linear behavior due to the existence of the quadratic nonlinearity. The outcomes are supported by the numerical simulations very well.     

Nonlinear primary resonance analysis for a coupled thermo-piezoelectric-mechanical model of piezoelectric rectangular thin plates

A model of piezoelectric rectangular thin plates with the consideration of the coupled thermo-piezoelectric-mechanical effect is established. Based on the von Karman large deflection theory, the nonlinear vibration governing equation is obtained by using Hamilton's principle and the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The harmonic balance method(HBM) is used to analyze the first-order approximate response and obtain the frequency response function. The system shows non-linear phenomena such as hardening nonlinearity, multiple coexistence solutions, and jumps. The effects of the temperature difference,the damping coefficient, the plate thickness, the excited charge, and the mode on the primary resonance response are theoretically analyzed. With the increase in the temperature difference, the corresponding frequency jumping increases, while the resonant amplitude decreases gradually. Finally, numerical verifications are carried out by the Runge-Kutta method, and the results agree very well with the theoretical results.     

Whirling of a forced cantilevered beam with static deflection. I: Primary resonance

The response of a slender, clastic, cantilevered beam to a transverse, vertical, harmonic excitation is investigated. The effects of nonlinear curvature, nonlinear inertia, viscous damping and static load are included. Previous work often has neglected the static deflection caused by the weight of the beam, which adds quadratic terms in the governing equations of motion. Galerkin's method is used with three modes and approximate solutions of the temporal equations are obtained by the method of multiple scales. Primary resonance is treated here, and out-of-plane motion is possible in the first and second modes when the principal moments of inertia of the beam cross-section are approximately equal. In Parts II and III, secondary resonances and nonstationary passages through various resonances are considered.     

Experimental Nonlinear Identification of a Single Mode of a Transversely Excited Beam

A procedure is presented for using a primary resonance excitation in experimentally identifying the nonlinear parameters of a model approximating the response of a cantilevered beam by a single mode. The model accounts for cubic inertia and stiffness nonlinearities and quadratic damping. The method of multiple scales is used to determine the frequency-response function for the system. Experimental frequency- and amplitude-sweep data is compared with the prediction of the frequency-response function in a least-squares curve-fitting algorithm. The algorithm is improved by making use of experimentally known information about the location of the bifurcation points. The method is validated by using the extracted parameters to predict the force-response curves at other nearby frequencies.We then compare this technique with two other techniques that have been presented in the literature. In addition to the amplitude- and frequency-sweep technique presented, we apply a backbone curve- fitting technique and a time-domain technique to the second mode of a cantilevered beam. Differences in the parameter estimates are discussed. We conclude by discussing the limitations encountered for each technique. These include the inability to separate the nonlinear curvature and inertia effects and problems in estimating the coefficients of small terms with the time-domain technique.

A third-order ordinary differential equation (ODE) for thin film flow with both Neumann and Dirichlet boundary conditions is transformed into a second-order nonlinear ODE with Dirichlet boundary conditions.Numerical solutions of the nonlinear second-order ODE are investigated using finite difference schemes.A finite difference formulation to an Emden-Fowler representation of the second-order nonlinear ODE is shown to converge faster than a finite difference formulation of the standard form of the second-order nonlinear ODE.Both finite difference schemes satisfy the von Neumann stability criteria.When mapping the numerical solution of the second-order ODE back to the variables of the original third-order ODE we recover the position of the contact line.A nonlinear relationship between the position of the contact line and physical parameters is obtained.
