Second-order approximation of primary resonance of a disk-type piezoelectric stator for traveling wave vibration

Considering the quadratic nonlinear constitutive relations of piezoelectric materials, a traveling wave dynamic model for a lead zirconate titanate stator of a traveling wave ultrasonic motor is established using Hamilton’s principle and the Rayleigh–Ritz method. Applying the method of multiple scales, the second-order approximation of the primary resonance for traveling wave vibration of the stator is investigated. The second harmonic component is found in the primary response of the stator, which arises from the quadratic stiffness in the condition of weak excitation. In the region of the resonance, the two coupled modals are split and the lower-order peak bends to the left, hence a jump and delay exist in the response. In this way numerical results are given to verify the feasibility of the analytical approach. The results provide a theoretical foundation for further nonlinear dynamic analysis and design of the traveling wave ultrasonic motor.     

Two-dimensional modeling of unilateral contact-induced shaft precessional motions in bladed-disk/casing systems

The present work targets shaft whirling motions induced by direct blade/casing unilateral contact occurrences in aircraft engine bladed-disk assemblies. These contact events are favored by increasingly reduced blade-tip clearances and potentially lead to harmful interactions that may threaten the engine structural integrity.A simplified 2D in-plane finite element model representative of the engine fan stage is built, accounting for the flexibility of the shaft through two linear springs attached to the disk center node and the structural coupling provided by the fan frame and the bearings, modeled by an array of linear springs. A linear stability analysis of the reduced-order coupled system reveals two unstable zones in a selected rotational speed range, emanating from the linearly predicted modal coincidence speeds.Through a time-marching strategy, two asymmetric contact initiation mechanisms are investigated: (1) a prescribed casing distortion and (2) a mass imbalance on the bladed-disk. It is shown how the 1-nodal diameter mode of the first modal family of the bladed-disk is dominant when a modal interaction arises from the transient casing distortion and leads to divergent regimes. The presence of the frame/bearings coupling induces a shift in the critical speeds detected, generally characterized by a backward traveling wave in the rotating frame and a forward traveling one in the fixed frame. Further, when a mass imbalance is the excitation source, the suspension modes appear to have a major role and a stable limit cycle is reached regardless of the coupling stiffness with much lower energy levels than in divergent regimes.

On the resonant nonlinear traveling waves in a thin rotating ring

Large amplitude, traveling wave motion of an inextensible, linearly elastic, rotating ring is analyzed. Equations governing the planar dynamics of a thin rod, curved in its undeformed state and moving in a horizontal reference frame which rotates about a fixed axis, are obtained via Hamilton's extended principle. The equations are specialized to study the behavior of a rotating circular ring and approximate solutions are obtained near resonance utilizing a perturbation analysis. Undamped free and viscously damped forced traveling wave motion is considered. The motion is found to consist of a forward and a backward traveling wave which may be coupled due to the non-linear terms present in the equations of motion     

Periodic Traveling Waves for Diffusion Equations with Time Delayed and Non-local Responding Reaction

We develop a singular perturbation technique to study the existence of periodic traveling wave solutions with large wave speed for a class of reaction-diffusion equations with time delay and non-local response. Unlike the classical singular perturbation method, our approach is based on a transformation of the differential equations to integral equations in a Banach space that reduces the singular perturbation problem to a regular perturbation problem. The periodic traveling wave solutions then are obtained by the use of Liapunov-Schmidt method and a generalized implicit function theorem. The general result obtained has been applied to a non-local reaction-diffusion equation derived from an age-structured population model with a logistic type of birth function.     

Fluid–structure interaction in water-filled thin pipes of anisotropic composite materials

The effects of elastic anisotropy in piping materials on fluid–structure interaction are studied for water-filled carbon-fiber reinforced thin plastic pipes. When an impact is introduced to water in a pipe, there are two waves traveling at different speeds. A primary wave corresponding to a breathing mode of pipe travels slowly and a precursor wave corresponding to a longitudinal mode of pipe travels fast. An anisotropic stress–strain relationship of piping materials has been taken into account to describe the propagation of primary and precursor waves in the carbon-fiber reinforced thin plastic pipes. The wave speeds and strains in the axial and hoop directions are calculated as a function of carbon-fiber winding angles and compared with the experimental data. As the winding angle increases, the primary wave speed increases due to the increased stiffness in the hoop direction, while the precursor wave speed decreases. The magnitudes of precursor waves are much smaller than those of primary waves so that the effect of precursor waves on the deformation of pipe is not significant. The primary wave generates the hoop strain accompanying the opposite-signed axial strain through the coupling compliance of pipe. The magnitude of hoop strain induced by the primary waves decreases with increasing the winding angle due to the increased hoop stiffness of pipe. The magnitude of axial strain is small at low and high winding angles where the coupling compliance is small.     

Traveling Waves in Spatial SIRS Models

We study traveling wavefront solutions for two reaction–diffusion systems, which are derived respectively as diffusion approximations to two nonlocal spatial SIRS models. These solutions characterize the propagating progress and speed of the spatial spread of underlying epidemic waves. For the first diffusion system, we find a lower bound for wave speeds and prove that the traveling waves exist for all speeds bigger than this bound. For the second diffusion system, we find the minimal wave speed and show that the traveling waves exist for all speeds bigger than or equal to the minimal speed. We further prove the uniqueness (up to translation) of these solutions for sufficiently large wave speeds. The existence of these solutions are proved by a shooting argument combining with LaSalle’s invariance principle, and their uniqueness by a geometric singular perturbation argument.

Magnetic field effects on the nonlinear vibration of a rotor

The nonlinear vibration of a rotor operated in a magnetic field with geometric and inertia nonlinearity is investigated. An asymmetric magnetic flux density is generated,resulting in the production of a load on the rotor since the air-gap distribution between the rotor and the stator is not uniform. This electromagnetic load is a nonlinear function of the distance between the geometric centers of the rotor and the stator. The nonlinear equation of motion is obtained by the inclusion of the nonlinearity in the inertia, the curvature, and the electromagnetic load. After discretization of the governing partial differential equations by the Galerkin method, the multiple-scale perturbation method is used to derive the approximate solutions to the equations. In the numerical results, the effects of the electromagnetic parameter load, the damping coefficient, the amplitude of the initial displacement, the mass moment of inertia, and the rotation speed on the linear and nonlinear backward and forward frequencies are investigated. The results show that the magnetic field has significant effects on the nonlinear frequency of oscillation.     

Mechanical seals with oscillating stator

This paper presents theoretical analyses and experimental investigations of a mechanical seal subjected to axial impulses of one of its mating rings (stator). The amplitude of oscillations of stator depends on the pressure of sealed fluid. The frequency of oscillations is influenced by the geometry of frontal faces of the seal rings and depends on the rotational speed of rotor. The analytical models include the analyses of the static equilibrium of the investigated mechanical seal and the dynamic response of stator. The experimental analysis implies the conception of the testing system, the experimental estimation of the leakage and the measurements of amplitude and frequency of oscillations. During operating time, the experimental variations of leakage of a mechanical seal with oscillating stator are monitored for different rotational speed of rotor. Finite element analysis is used to visualize the stress distribution of stator as a function of the applied forces.

Numerical identification of mechanisms triggering 2D choke flutter in transonic fan

Blade vibration may trigger a self-induced aeroelastic instability (flutter). In turbomachinery choke flutter appears when a strong shock-wave chokes the blade passage. The aim of this study is to identify mechanisms responsible for the instability. An innovative methodology relying on the splitting of the emitter and receiver role of the blade is presented. It is successfully applied to 2D linearized RANS computations of choke flutter. The emission splitting shows that the vibration of the blades downstream of the shock-wave generates a backward traveling pressure wave triggering the aeroelastic instability. The reception splitting demonstrates the destabilising contribution of the shock-wave / separated boundary layer interaction. The source of flutter is finally a combination of inviscid (regressive waves) and viscous (unsteady separation) mechanisms.

Traveling Waves in Porous Media Combustion: Uniqueness of Waves for Small Thermal Diffusivity

We study traveling wave solutions arising in Sivashinsky’s model of subsonic detonation which describes combustion processes in inert porous media. Subsonic (shockless) detonation waves tend to assume the form of a reaction front propagating with a well defined speed. It is known that traveling waves exist for any value of thermal diffusivity [5]. Moreover, it has been shown that, when the thermal diffusivity is neglected, the traveling wave is unique. The question of whether the wave is unique in the presence of thermal diffusivity has remained open. For the subsonic regime, the underlying physics might suggest that the effect of small thermal diffusivity is insignificant. We analytically prove the uniqueness of the wave in the presence of non-zero diffusivity through applying geometric singular perturbation theory. Dedicated to Mr. Brunovsky in honor of his 70th birthday.     

Propagation of a low-frequency wave component in a model of a block medium

This paper studies the properties of a model of a block medium consisting of absolutely rigid blocks separated by deformable layers. The model is proposed to describe the low-frequency spectral region of a perturbation wave propagating in the medium of this structure. The model is based on the assumption that the low-frequency part of the wave train provides the least distorted information on the average characteristics of the structure of the medium on the wave pathway. Calculation of waves in a one-dimensional assembly of blocks (rods) and deformable layers show that the model ignoring the deformation of the blocks is applicable only in the case where the stiffness of the layer is low compared to the stiffness of the rod. A correction is applied to eliminate this restriction in the case of a long-wave approximation.

Traveling Waves in Diffusive Random Media

The current paper is devoted to the study of traveling waves in diffusive random media, including time and/or space recurrent, almost periodic, quasiperiodic, periodic ones as special cases. It first introduces a notion of traveling waves in general random media, which is a natural extension of the classical notion of traveling waves. Roughly speaking, a solution to a diffusive random equation is a traveling wave solution if both its propagating profile and its propagating speed are random variables. Then by adopting such a point of view that traveling wave solutions are limits of certain wave-like solutions, a general existence theory of traveling waves is established. It shows that the existence of a wave-like solution implies the existence of a critical traveling wave solution, which is the traveling wave solution with minimal propagating speed in many cases. When the media is ergodic, some deterministic \hbox{properties} of average propagating profile and average propagating speed of a traveling wave solution are derived. When the media is compact, certain continuity of the propagating profile of a critical traveling wave solution is obtained. Moreover, if the media is almost periodic, then a critical traveling wave solution is almost automorphic and if the media is periodic, then so is a critical traveling wave solution. Applications of the general theory to a bistable media are discussed. The results obtained in the paper generalize many existing ones on traveling waves.

Analysis of unsteady wave processes in a rotating channel

The impact of passage rotation on the gasdynamic wave processes is analyzed through a numerical simulation of ideal shock-tube flow in a closed rotating-channel containing a gas in an initial state of homentropic solid-body rotation. Relevant parameters of the problem such as wheel Mach number, hub-to-tip radius ratio, length-to-tip radius ratio, diaphragm temperature ratio, and diaphragm pressure ratio are varied. It is shown that for a fixed geometry and initial conditions, the contact interface acquires a distorted three-dimensional time-dependent orientation at non-zero wheel Mach numbers. At a fixed wheel Mach number, the level of distortion depends primarily on the density ratio across the interface and also the hub-to-tip radius ratio. The nature of the rarefaction and shock wave propagation is one-dimensional, although the acoustic waves are diffracted due to the radially varying propagation speed. Under conditions of initially homentropic solid-body rotation, a degree of similarity exists between rotating and stationary shock-tube flows. This similarity is exploited to arrive at an approximate analytical solution to the Riemann problem in a rotating shock-tube.
