Resonance and chaos of micro and nano electro mechanical resonators with time delay feedback

The resonance and chaos of micro (nano) electro mechanical resonators with time delay feedback is concerned in the paper. Based on the experimental results, a lumped single degree-of-freedom (1DOF) model is studied and the effects of time delay displacement and velocity feedback on the system are investigated. In order to have a deep insight into the system, the amplitude frequency response curve of the system is firstly obtained using the multiple scales method. The Melnikov function method is then extended to the two time delay systems, and the analytically required condition for chaos was obtained. Finally, the fourth-order Runge–Kutta method, point-mapping method and spectrum diagram are used to simulate the evolution of the dynamic behavior of the time delay control system. Also, the stability of this time delay control system is studied thoroughly. The results show that time delay feedback is a good method for the control system and that reasonable selection of control system parameters can effectively suppress the vibration level for micro/nano-electro-mechanical resonator systems.

Transverse vibration of viscoelastic sandwich beam with time-dependent axial tension and axially varying moving velocity

Nonlinearly parametric resonances of axially accelerating moving viscoelastic sandwich beams with time-dependent tension are investigated in this paper. Based on the Kelvin differential constitutive equation, the controlling equation of the transverse vibration of a beam with large deflection is established. The system has been subjected to a time varying velocity and a harmonic axial tension. Here the governing equation of motion contains linear parametric terms and two frequencies, one is the frequency of axially moving velocity and the other one is the frequency of varying tension. The method of multiple scales is applied directly to the governing equation to obtain the complex eigenfunctions and natural frequencies of the system. The elimination of secular terms leads to the steady-state response and amplitude of vibrations. The influence of various parameters such as initial tension on natural frequencies and the amplitude of axial fluctuation, the phase angle between the two frequencies on response curves has been investigated for two different resonance conditions. With the help of numerical results, it has been shown that by using suitable initial tension, the amplitude of axial fluctuation, the phase angle, the vibration of the sandwich beam can be significantly controlled.     

Vibration suppression of a dynamical system to multi-parametric excitations via time-delay absorber

The aim of this work is to control the dynamic system behavior represented by a beam at simultaneous primary and sub-harmonic resonance condition, where the system damage is probable. Control is conducted via time delay absorber to suppress chaotic vibrations. A comprehensive investigation of the effect of the time delay on the control of a beam when subjected to multi- parametric excitation forces is presented. Multiple scale perturbation method is applied to obtain the solution up to the second order approximation. Different resonance cases are reported and studied numerically. Stability of the steady state solution for the selected resonance case is investigated applying Rung-Kutta fourth order method and frequency response equations via Matlab 7.0 and Maple11. Time delay absorber is effective like ordinary one within a specified range of time delay. The delay time is an important factor in selecting the absorber. The effects of the different parameters of the absorber on the system behavior are studied numerically. The reported results are compared with the available published work.     

Nonlinear internal resonance of double-walled nanobeams under parametric excitation by nonlocal continuum theory

In the present work, the nonlinear internal resonance of double-walled nanobeams under the external parametric load is studied. The nonlocal continuum theory is applied to describe the nano scale effects and the nonlinear governing equations are derived by the multiple scale method. The parametric internal resonance is considered and the relation between the frequency and amplitude is discussed. From the numerical simulation, it can be observed that small scale effects are more obvious for short structures. Three different nonlinear cases can be found. The gap between the stable and instable regions is reduced by the van der Walls (vdW) interaction but enhanced by the excitation amplitude. Moreover, the dynamical motions of double-walled nanobeams are sensitive to the initial condition and excitation frequency.

We derive an asymptotic expression for the evolution of stationary beams in strongly nonlinear three-dimensional media. Formulas are obtained for the distribution of the beam amplitude and phase velocity, and effectively solvable equations are constructed for the beam axial line. It is shown that with power-function nonlinearity, the determination of the beam axial line is separated from the determination of the field concentrated near this line.Translated from Zapiski Nauchnykh Seminarov Leningradskogo Otdeleniya Matematicheskogo Instituta im.

Post-buckling and nonlinear free vibration analysis of geometrically imperfect functionally graded beams resting on nonlinear elastic foundation

In this paper, post-buckling and nonlinear vibration analysis of geometrically imperfect beams made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) resting on nonlinear elastic foundation subjected to axial force are studied. The material properties of FGMs are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The assumptions of a small strain and moderate deformation are used. Based on Euler–Bernoulli beam theory and von-Karman geometric nonlinearity, the integral partial differential equation of motion is derived. Then this partial differential equation (PDE) problem, which has quadratic and cubic nonlinearities, is simplified into an ordinary differential equation (ODE) problem by using the Galerkin method. Finally, the governing equation is solved analytically using the variational iteration method (VIM). Some new results for the nonlinear natural frequencies and buckling load of the imperfect functionally graded (FG) beams such as the effects of vibration amplitude, elastic coefficients of foundation, axial force, end supports and material inhomogeneity are presented for future references. Results show that the imperfection has a significant effect on the post-buckling and vibration response of FG beams.     

Two-dimensional nonlinear dynamics of an axially moving viscoelastic beam with time-dependent axial speed

In the present study, the coupled nonlinear dynamics of an axially moving viscoelastic beam with time-dependent axial speed is investigated employing a numerical technique. The equations of motion for both the transverse and longitudinal motions are obtained using Newton’s second law of motion and the constitutive relations. A two-parameter rheological model of the Kelvin–Voigt energy dissipation mechanism is employed in the modelling of the viscoelastic beam material, in which the material time derivative is used in the viscoelastic constitutive relation. The Galerkin method is then applied to the coupled nonlinear equations, which are in the form of partial differential equations, resulting in a set of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with time-dependent coefficients due to the axial acceleration. A change of variables is then introduced to this set of ODEs to transform them into a set of first-order ordinary differential equations. A variable step-size modified Rosenbrock method is used to conduct direct time integration upon this new set of first-order nonlinear ODEs. The mean axial speed and the amplitude of the speed variations, which are taken as bifurcation parameters, are varied, resulting in the bifurcation diagrams of Poincaré maps of the system. The dynamical characteristics of the system are examined more precisely via plotting time histories, phase-plane portraits, Poincaré sections, and fast Fourier transforms (FFTs).

Modeling and steady state analysis of the extensible thermoelastic beam

In this work we formulate a nonlinear mathematical model for the thermoelastic beam assuming the Fourier heat conduction law. Boundary conditions for the temperature are imposed on the ending cross sections of the beam. A careful analysis of the resulting steady states is addressed and the dependence of the Euler buckling load on the beam mean temperature, besides the applied axial load, is also discussed. Finally, under some simplifying assumptions, we deduce the model for the bending of an extensible thermoelastic beam with fixed ends. The behavior of the resulting dissipative system accounts for both the elongation of the beam and the Fourier heat conduction. The nonlinear term enters the motion equation, only, while the dissipation is entirely contributed by the heat equation, ruling the thermal evolution.     

Size-dependent dynamics of a FG Nanobeam near nonlinear resonances induced by heat

This study explores heat-induced nonlinear vibration of a functionally graded (FG) capacitive nanobeam within the framework of nonlocal strain gradient theory (NLSGT). The elastic FG beam, which is firstly deflected by a DC voltage, is driven to vibrate about its deflected position by a periodic heat load. The nano-structure, which consists of a clamped-clamped nanobeam, is modeled assuming Euler–Bernoulli beam assumption which accounts for the nonlinear von-Karman strain and the electrostatic and intermolecular forcing. To simulate the static and dynamic responses, a model reduction procedure is carried out by employing the Galerkin method. The method of Averaging as a regular semi-analytic perturbation method is applied to obtain governing equations of the steady-state responses. With the purpose of establishing the validity of the solution, a Shooting technique in conjunction with the Floquet theory is used to capture the periodic motions and then examine their stability. The nonlinear resonance frequency of the FG nanobeam near its fundamental natural frequency (primary resonance) and near principal parametric resonance is investigated while the emphasis is placed on studying the effect of various parameters including DC voltage, amplitude of the periodic heat source, material index, damping ratio, and small scale parameters. The main objective of this study is to model a miniature structure which can be used as either a sensitive remote temperature sensor or a high-efficiency thermal energy harvester.     

Resonance,stability and chaotic vibration of a quarter-car vehicle model with time-delay feedback

This paper examines dynamical behavior of a nonlinear oscillator with a symmetric potential that models a quarter-car forced by the road profile. The primary, superharmonic and subharmonic resonances of a harmonically excited nonlinear quarter-car model with linear time delayed active control are investigated. The method of multiple scales is utilized to obtain first order approximation of response. We focus on the influence of delay in the system. This naturally gives rise to a delay deferential equation (DDE) model of the system. The effect of time delay and feedback gains of the steady state responses of primary, superharmonic and subharmonic resonances are investigated. By means of Melnikov technique, necessary condition for onset of chaos resulting from homoclinic bifurcation is derived analytically. We describe a method to identify the critical forcing function and time delay above which the system becomes unstable. It is found that proper selection of time-delay shows optimum dynamical behavior. The accuracy of the method is obtained from the fractal basin boundaries.     

Dynamic analysis of functionally graded nanocomposite beams reinforced by randomly oriented carbon nanotube under the action of moving load

This work deals with a study of the vibrational properties of functionally graded nanocomposite beams reinforced by randomly oriented straight single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) under the actions of moving load. Timoshenko and Euler-Bernoulli beam theories are used to evaluate dynamic characteristics of the beam. The Eshelby-Mori-Tanaka approach based on an equivalent fiber is used to investigate the material properties of the beam. An embedded carbon nanotube in a polymer matrix and its surrounding inter-phase is replaced with an equivalent fiber for predicting the mechanical properties of the carbon nanotube/polymer composite. The primary contribution of the present work deals with the global elastic properties of nano-structured composite beams. The system of equations of motion is derived by using Hamilton’s principle under the assumptions of the Timoshenko beam theory. The finite element method is employed to discretize the model and obtain a numerical approximation of the motion equation. In order to evaluate time response of the system, Newmark method is also used. Numerical results are presented in both tabular and graphical forms to figure out the effects of various material distributions, carbon nanotube orientations, velocity of the moving load, shear deformation, slenderness ratios and boundary conditions on the dynamic characteristics of the beam. The results show that the above mentioned effects play very important role on the dynamic behavior of the beam and it is believed that new results are presented for dynamics of FG nano-structure beams under moving loads which are of interest to the scientific and engineering community in the area of FGM nano-structures.     

Nonlinear vibration and instability of functionally graded nanopipes with initial imperfection conveying fluid

In this paper, the nonlinear vibration and instability of a fluid-conveying nanopipe made of functionally graded (FG) materials with consideration of the initial geometric imperfection are investigated. The material properties are assumed to vary smoothly along the radial direction according to a power-law exponent form. The fluid-conveying FG nanopipe is modeled as a Euler-Bernoulli beam, and the governing equation is derived based on the nonlocal strain gradient theory incorporating the effects of Von-Karman geometrical nonlinearity and initial imperfection. The nonlinear frequency and critical fluid velocity are achieved via He's Hamiltonian approach. After verifying the present model with comparison of several previous studies, the effect of several different system parameters including the amplitude of the nonlinear oscillator, the initial geometric imperfection, size-dependent parameters, and the power-law index on the frequency response of the fluid-conveying FG nanopipe are explored. Moreover, the critical velocity of the conveying fluid under different system parameters is also investigated and discussed in detail. The developed size-dependent nonlinear model is expected to provide a possible theoretical way to guide the application of FG nanopipe as micro/nanofluidic devices.     

Stability and Hopf bifurcation of a Nonlinear oscillator with multiple time-delays

This paper examines dynamical behavior of a nonlinear oscillator which models a quarter-car forced by the road profile. The effect of multiple time delays is studied in detail. The focus is on the influence of delay in the system. This naturally gives rise to a delay differential equation (DDE) model of the system. The domain where the control is efficient in reducing the amplitude of vibration is found by the harmonic balance method. Technical stability within definite time and asymptotic stability is derived for selected gain control parameters. The control gain parameters are chosen according to technical and asymptotic stability. The energy analysis is a combination of Lyapunov’s function and the averaging technique, and is used to analyze the Hopf bifurcation.     

Transverse nonlinear dynamics of axially accelerating viscoelastic beams based on 4-term Galerkin truncation

This paper investigates bifurcation and chaos in transverse motion of axially accelerating viscoelastic beams. The Kelvin model is used to describe the viscoelastic property of the beam material, and the Lagrangian strain is used to account for geometric nonlinearity due to small but finite stretching of the beam. The transverse motion is governed by a nonlinear partial-differential equation. The Galerkin method is applied to truncate the partial-differential equation into a set of ordinary differential equations. When the Galerkin truncation is based on the eigenfunctions of a linear non-translating beam subjected to the same boundary constraints, a computation technique is proposed by regrouping nonlinear terms. The scheme can be easily implemented in practical computations. When the transport speed is assumed to be a constant mean speed with small harmonic variations, the Poincaré map is numerically calculated based on 4-term Galerkin truncation to identify dynamical behaviors. The bifurcation diagrams are present for varying one of the following parameter: the axial speed fluctuation amplitude, the mean axial speed and the beam viscosity coefficient, while other parameters are unchanged.

Non-linearly parametric resonances of an axially moving viscoelastic sandwich beam with time-dependent velocity

Non-linearly parametric resonances of an axially moving viscoelastic sandwich beam are investigated in this paper. The beam is moving with a time-dependent velocity, namely a harmonically varied velocity about the mean velocity. The partial differential equation is discretized into nonlinear ordinary differential equations via the method of Galerkin truncation and then the steady-state response is obtained using the method of multiple scales, an approximate analytical method. The tuning equations are obtained by eliminating secular terms and the amplitude of the vibration is derived from the tuning equations expressed in polar form, and two bifurcation points are obtained as well. Additionally, the stability conditions of trivial and nontrivial solutions are analyzed using the Routh–Hurwitz criterion. Eventually, the effects of various parameters such as the thickness of core layer, mean velocity, initial tension, and the amplitude of axially moving velocity on amplitude–frequency response curves and unstable regions are investigated.     

Bifurcation and resonance induced by fractional-order damping and time delay feedback in a Duffing system

We develop an analytical technique to investigate the phenomenon of vibrational resonance in a fractional-order Duffing system with linear time delay feedback and driven by both low frequency and high frequency periodic signals. At first, the theoretical predication of the response amplitude at the low-frequency is obtained by the method of direct separation of slow and fast motions. Then, the bifurcation analysis is carried out based on three kinds of resonance behaviors. Further, influences of the high frequency signal, the fractional-order damping and the delay parameter on the vibrational resonance are discussed by both theoretical and numerical simulations. If the value of the fractional-order is a controllable parameter, the monotonicity of the response amplitude versus the value of the fractional-order depends on the amplitude of the high-frequency signal. If the delay parameter is a controllable parameter, the response amplitude with respect to the delay parameter presents periodic or quasi-periodic pattern, and it is similar to that in the integer-order differential system with linear time delay feedback. The good agreement between the analytical and numerical results indicates the validity of the theoretical predications.
