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.

Characterization of a nonlinear MEMS-based piezoelectric resonator for wideband micro power generation

Micro-scale piezoelectric unimorph beams with attached proof masses are the most prevalent structures in MEMS-based energy harvesters considering micro fabrication and natural frequency limitations. In doubly clamped beams a nonlinear stiffness is observed as a result of midplane stretching effect which leads to amplitude-stiffened Duffing resonance. In this study, a nonlinear model of a doubly clamped piezoelectric micro power generator, taking into account geometric nonlinearities including stretching and large curvatures, is investigated. The governing nonlinear coupled electromechanical partial differential equations of motion are determined by exploiting Hamilton's principle. A semi-analytical approach implementing the perturbation method of multiple scales is used to solve the nonlinear coupled differential equations and analyze the primary and superharmonic resonances. Results indicate that operational bandwidth of the nonlinear harvester is enhanced considerably with respect to linear models. Moreover considerable amount of power is generated due to occurrence of superharmonic resonances. This yields to extraction of energy at subharmonics of the natural frequency which is crucially important in MEMS-based harvesters.

Optimal infinite-horizon feedback laws for a general class of constrained discrete-time systems: Stability and moving-horizon approximations

Stability results are given for a class of feedback systems arising from the regulation of time-varying discrete-time systems using optimal infinite-horizon and moving-horizon feedback laws. The class is characterized by joint constraints on the state and the control, a general nonlinear cost function and nonlinear equations of motion possessing two special properties. It is shown that weak conditions on the cost function and the constraints are sufficient to guarantee uniform asymptotic stability of both the optimal infinite-horizon and moving-horizon feedback systems. The infinite-horizon cost associated with the moving-horizon feedback law approaches the optimal infinite-horizon cost as the moving horizon is extended.

Subharmonic Resonances and Chaotic Motions of a Bilinear Oscillator

A bilinear oscillator with different stiffnesses for positiveand negative deflections arises frequently in off-shore marinetechnology due to the slackening of mooring lines. A limitingcase, in which one of the stiffnesses becomes infinite, is theimpact oscillator which has applications to vessels moored ina harbour. The subharmonic resonances, bifurcations and chaotic motionsof these oscillators are studied using the concepts of topologicaldynamics. Problems of the existence, uniqueness and stabilityof the steady state motions are investigated, and particularuse is made of the Poincaré map. The bilinear oscillatoris shown to have co-existing small amplitude solutions undermost of its subharmonic resonances, showing that one-off andautomated computer integrations could easily miss an importantresonant peak. The domains of attraction of the competing stablesolutions are explored. Cascades of period-doubling bifurcationsand the exponential divergence of adjacent starts indicate thatthe impact oscillator has a régime of chaotic motionsgoverned by a strange attractor.     

Zur Theorie der erzwungenen Schwingungen des symmetrischen Kreisels

Summary The object of this paper is to give a theory of the experiments described in the foregoing paper. The applied system of non-linear differential equations byA. Föppl is first solved approximately for small angles, that means small deviations of the axis of the gyroscope from the verticaldirection, the cases without and with consideration of damping force being discussed separately. All characteristic features of the motion observed in the experiments are explained.—After that, an exact particular solution is given for the case of a circular periodic force. An approximate calculation is carried out for the case of a periodic elliptical force acting on afast rotating gyroscope. The solution contains an infinite number of resonance frequencies (subharmonic resonances and resonances with sums and differences of the forced and natural frequencies).     

Bifurcations and chaos of the nonlinear viscoelastic plates subjected to subsonic flow and external loads

The subharmonic bifurcations and chaotic motions of the nonlinear viscoelastic plates subjected to subsonic flow and external loads are studied by means of Melnikov method. The critical conditions for the occurrence of chaotic motions are obtained. The chaotic features on the system parameters are discussed in detail. The conditions for subharmonic bifurcations are also obtained. For the system with no structural damping, chaotic motions can occur through infinite subharmonic bifurcations of odd orders. Furthermore, we confirm our theoretical predictions by numerical simulations. The theoretical results obtained here can help us to eliminate or suppress large nonlinear vibrations and chaotic motions of the nonlinear viscoelastic plates. Based on Melnikov method, complex dynamical behaviors of the nonlinear viscoelastic plates can be controlled by modifying the system parameters.     

Nonlinear analysis of buckling,free vibration and dynamic stability for the piezoelectric functionally graded beams in thermal environment

Employing Euler–Bernoulli beam theory and the physical neutral surface concept, the nonlinear governing equation for the functionally graded material beam with two clamped ends and surface-bonded piezoelectric actuators is derived by the Hamilton’s principle. The thermo-piezoelectric buckling, nonlinear free vibration and dynamic stability for the piezoelectric functionally graded beams, subjected to one-dimensional steady heat conduction in the thickness direction, are studied. The critical buckling loads for the beam are obtained by the existing methods in the analysis of thermo-piezoelectric buckling. The Galerkin’s procedure and elliptic function are adopted to obtain the analytical solution of the nonlinear free vibration, and the incremental harmonic balance method is applied to obtain the principle unstable regions of the piezoelectric functionally graded beam. In the numerical examples, the good agreements between the present results and existing solutions verify the validity and accuracy of the present analysis and solving method. Simultaneously, validation of the results achieved by rule of mixture against those obtained via the Mori–Tanaka scheme is carried out, and excellent agreements are reported. The effects of the thermal load, electric load, and thermal properties of the constituent materials on the thermo-piezoelectric buckling, nonlinear free vibration, and dynamic stability of the piezoelectric functionally graded beam are discussed, and some meaningful conclusions have been drawn.

Nonlinear secondary resonance of nanobeams under subharmonic and superharmonic excitations including surface free energy effects

The main objective of this study is to predict both the subharmonic and superharmonic resonances of the nonlinear oscillation of nanobeams in the presence of surface free energy effects. To this purpose, Gurtin–Murdoch elasticity theory is adopted to the classical beam theory in order to consider the surface Lame constants, surface mass density, and residual surface stress within the differential equations of motion. The Galerkin method together with the method of multiple scales is utilized to investigate the size-dependent response of nanobeams under hard excitations corresponding to various boundary conditions. A parametric analysis is carried out to indicate the influence of the surface elastic parameters on the frequency-response as well as amplitude-response of the nonlinear secondary resonance including multiple vibration modes and interactions between them. It is seen that for the superharmonic excitation, except for the clamped–free boundary condition, the jump phenomenon is along the hardening direction, while in the clamped–free end supports, it is along the softening direction. Moreover, it is revealed that for the subharmonic excitation, within a specific range of the excitation amplitude, the nanobeam is excited, and this range shifts to lower external force by incorporating the surface free energy effects. It is found that in the case of superharmonic excitation, the value of the excitation frequency associated with the bifurcation point at the peak of the frequency-response curve increases by taking the surface free energy effect into consideration.

Analytical approximation of weakly nonlinear continuous systems using renormalization group method

A direct method based on renormalization group method (RGM) is proposed for determining the analytical approximation of weakly nonlinear continuous systems. To demonstrate the application of the method, we use it to analyze some examples. First, we analyze the vibration of a beam resting on a nonlinear elastic foundation with distributed quadratic and cubic nonlinearities in the cases of primary and subharmonic resonances of the nth mode. We apply the RGM to the discretized governing equation and also directly to the governing partial differential equations (PDE). The results are in full agreement with those previously obtained with multiple scales method. Second, we obtain higher order approximation for free vibrations of a beam resting on a nonlinear elastic foundation with distributed cubic nonlinearities. The method is applied to the discretized governing equation as well as directly to the governing PDE. The proposed method is capable of producing directly higher order approximation of weakly nonlinear continuous systems. It is shown that the higher order approximation of discretization and direct methods are not in general equal. Finally, we analyze the previous problem in the case that the governing differential equation expressed in complex-variable form. The results of second order form and complex-variable form are not in agreement. We observe that in use of RGM in higher order approximation of continuous systems, the equations must not be treated in second order form.     

Structure of a Linear Array of Uniform Vortices

The shape and properties of an infinite steady linear array of uniform vortices are calculated. A nonlinear singular integrodifferential equation is obtained for the shapes, which is solved numerically by Newton's method and Euler continuation to give a one parameter family of shapes as size over separation is varied. The kinematic properties and energy of the array are obtained. It is found that there exists an array of maximum area, for given separation, which also possesses minimum energy in accordance with a general argument of Kelvin. A simple model based on elliptical vortices is constructed, which reproduces the qualitative kinematic properties and is quantitatively quite accurate. Continuation of the numerical solution past the array of maximum area leads to a limit of finite, lens shaped, touching vortices. This array is also shown to be limit of a finite amplitude bifurcation of a vortex sheet of finite thickness. The stability of the array to two dimensional subharmonic and superharmonic disturbances is considered. General arguments, based on ideas of Kelvin, are given to show that the array is stable to superharmonic disturbances if the area is less than the maximum and otherwise unstable, and that it is always unstable to subharmonic disturbances, of which the pairing instability is a special case. It is verified by direct calculation in an Appendix that hollow vortices, whose shapes can be determined analytically in closed form, are unstable to the pairing instability whatever their size. Some speculations are made about the possible relevance of the results to the observed properties of organized structures in the turbulent mixing layer.     

Nonlinear Waves in a Shear Flow with a Vorticity Discontinuity

We consider nonlinear finite-amplitude progressive shear-flow waves on a basic velocity profile consisting of two coflowing layers of inviscid equal-density fluid, each of uniform but different vorticity. The problem is formulated as a nonlinear integral equation describing the shape of the vorticity discontinuity in a frame of reference in which the flow is steady. Numerical solutions to this equation are presented for a range of values of the vorticity ratio Ω. For 1 > © ≥ ? 1 the theoretical maximum wave amplitude occurs when the wave crest forms a 90° corner which just touches the appropriate critical-layer stagnation point. The linearized stability of the progressive wave states to arbitrary subharmonic isovortical disturbances is studied numerically. The results indicate stability at moderate values of the wave amplitude.
