Drift response of a bilinear hysteretic system to periodic excitation under sustained load effects

This paper presents an investigation of response characteristics for hysteretic systems idealized as a bilinear hysteretic model subjected to period excitations composed of a harmonic function and a sustained load. It is shown that the displacement solution can exhibit a drift sequence persistently repeated at a frequency identical to the excitation frequency in the case of zero post-yielding stiffness. The periodic-like drift sequence is further classified into three major types according to their different hysteretic looping behaviors. An approximate solution approach based on the method of weighted residuals is proposed to analyze the drift amplitude per response cycle. The assumed response shape is composed of two concatenated harmonic functions each with a frequency slightly detuned from the excitation frequency. The method is accompanied with a subsequent first-order analysis to obtain a closed-form approximation for the drift response. Good response predictions of the proposed solution method are demonstrated through both undamped and damped drift-frequency analyses.     

Strong chaotification and robust chaos in the Duffing oscillator induced by two-frequency excitation

In this work, we demonstrate numerically that two-frequency excitation is an effective method to produce chaotification over very large regions of the parameter space for the Duffing oscillator with single- and double-well potentials. It is also shown that chaos is robust in the last case. Robust chaos is characterized by the existence of a single chaotic attractor which is not altered by changes in the system parameters. It is generally required for practical applications of chaos to prevent the effects of fabrication tolerances, external influences, and aging that can destroy chaos. After showing that very large and continuous regions in the parameter space develop a chaotic dynamics under two-frequency excitation for the double-well Duffing oscillator, we demonstrate that chaos is robust over these regions. The proof is based upon the observation of the monotonic changes in the statistical properties of the chaotic attractor when the system parameters are varied and by its uniqueness, demonstrated by changing the initial conditions. The effects of a second frequency in the single-well Duffing oscillator is also investigated. While a quite significant chaotification is observed, chaos is generally not robust in this case.

     

Study of Two-Frequency Excitation of Turbulent Jets by Fundamental and Subharmonic Tones

The possibility of enhancing or attenuating the mixing in a turbulent jet excited by a two-frequency acoustic signal consisting of fundamental and subharmonic tones is investigated experimentally. It is shown that two-frequency acoustic excitation of the jet is effective only at low frequencies, whereas at high frequencies the effect of two-frequency and single-frequency forcing is almost the same.     

Control of a Nonlinear System Using the Saturation Phenomenon

In this paper, a theoretical investigation of nonlinear vibrations of a 2 degrees of freedom system when subjected to saturation is studied. The method has been especially applied to a system that consists of a DC motor with a nonlinear controller and a harmonic forcing voltage. Approximate solutions are sought using the method of multiple scales. It is shown that the closed-loop system exhibits different response regimes. The nature and stability of these regimes are studied and the stability boundaries are obtained. The effects of the initial conditions on the response of the system have also been investigated. Furthermore, the second-order solution is presented and the corresponding results are compared with those of the first-order solution. It is shown that by increasing the amplitude of the excitation voltage, the higher-order term in the solution becomes significant and causes a drift in the response. In order to verify the obtained theoretical results, they are compared with the corresponding numerical results. Good agreement between the two sets of results is observed.     

Drifting response of hysteretic oscillators to stochastic excitation

Under a zero-mean, broad-band, stationary-random load, the symmetric elastic perfectly plastic oscillator and many similar hysteretic systems exhibit a Brownian-like displacement response: asymptotically, the displacement mean vanishes and the displacement variance linearly increases with time. This diverging behavior, often referred to as the drift, is observed even when the excitation power spectrum vanishes at zero frequency, an instance so far lacking a satisfactory modeling within the framework of statistical linearization. The paper presents a linearization-based method which captures the drift in such an instance without requiring any simulation-calibrated parameter. The method combines statistical linearization with stochastic averaging and a generalized van der Pol transformation comprising terms introduced to make allowance for the drift. Model predictions are compared with Monte Carlo estimates for an excitation whose power spectrum vanishes at zero frequency. Good agreement is found for a wide range of excitation levels despite the extremeness of the non-linearity.

Vibration transmission through an impacting mass-in-mass unit,an analytical investigation

Impacting events are discontinuous and non-smooth in nature; thus, resulting in various forms of complex nonlinear dynamics. A numerical algorithm has been developed based on the analytical solution to distinguish different classes of impacting responses. The main advantages of the solver are that it can either stop the integration process after automatically identifying the steady state solution or continue until the maximum time is reached in case of the chaotic type response. To identify the frequency of higher periodic response, a periodicity coefficient has been defined as the frequency ratio of excitation and the system's response. The effect of coefficient of restitution on the different dynamic responses is also discussed within the scope of the paper. The amplitude of the vibration of the main mass is reduced due to the presence of the multi-periodic and chaotic impacting responses for a wide range of excitation frequencies. These characteristics make impact dampers ideal for applications in wideband vibration insulation and a unit of wideband nonlinear metamaterial.

Nonlinear vibration analysis of isotropic plate with inclined part-through surface crack

The four modes of vibration of an isotropic rectangular plate with an inclined crack are investigated. It is assumed that the crack remains continuous and its center is located at the center of the plate. The governing nonlinear equation of the transverse vibration of the plate with the plate boundary conditions being simply-supported on all edges is developed. The multiple scale perturbation method is utilized as the solution procedure to find the steady-state frequency response equations for all the four modes of vibration. The equations for the free and forced vibrations are derived and their frequency responses are presented. A special case of large-scale excitation force has also been considered. The parameter sensitivity analysis for the angle of crack, length of crack and the position of the external applied excitation force is performed. It has been shown that according to the aspect ratio of the plate, the vibration modes can have either nonlinear hardening effect or nonlinear softening behavior.     

Regression analysis of the characteristics of vibro-cutting blade for tuffaceous rock

The vibro-cutting mechanism of a blade was experimentally tested for tuffaceous rock material. The influences of frequency and amplitude of displacement of vibro-cutting, the cutting velocity and the wave shape of vibration on the maximum excavation force were investigated. It was observed that the ratio of maximum horizontal component of excavation force of vibro-cutting to that of non-vibration tended to decrease hyperbolically with the increment of frequency for a constant amplitude of displacement. The specific energy decreased hyperbolically with the increment of the velocity ratio. The energy for the sinusoidal wave of vibration was always smaller than that for triangular wave. The ratio of specific energy at vibro-cutting to that at non-vibration decreased hyperbolically with the increment of mutual velocity. The sinusoidal wave of vibration of a blade was evaluated as more efficient for cutting tuffaceous rock than the triangular wave of vibration.

Nonlinear stochastic analysis of subharmonic response of a shallow cable

The paper deals with the subharmonic response of a shallow cable due to time variations of the chord length of the equilibrium suspension, caused by time varying support point motions. Initially, the capability of a simple nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom model for the prediction of chaotic and stochastic subharmonic response is demonstrated upon comparison with a more involved model based on a spatial finite difference discretization of the full nonlinear partial differential equations of the cable. Since the stochastic response quantities are obtained by Monte Carlo simulation, which is extremely time-consuming for the finite difference model, most of the results are next based on the reduced model. Under harmonical varying support point motions the stable subharmonic motion consists of a harmonically varying component in the equilibrium plane and a large subharmonic out-of-plane component, producing a trajectory at the mid-point of shape as an infinity sign. However, when the harmonical variation of the chordwise elongation is replaced by a narrow-banded Gaussian excitation with the same standard deviation and a centre frequency equal to the circular frequency of the harmonic excitation, the slowly varying phase of the excitation implies that the phase difference between the in-plane and out-of-plane displacement components is not locked at a fixed value. In turn this implies that the trajectory of the displacement components is slowly rotating around the chord line. Hence, a large subharmonic response component is also present in the static equilibrium plane. Further, the time variation of the envelope process of the narrow-banded chordwise elongation process tends to enhance chaotic behaviour of the subharmonic response, which is detectable via extreme sensitivity on the initial conditions, or via the sign of a numerical calculated Lyapunov exponent. These effects have been further investigated based on periodic varying chord elongations with the same frequency and standard deviation as the harmonic excitation, for which the amplitude varies in a well-defined way between two levels within each period. Depending on the relative magnitude of the high and low amplitude phase and their relative duration the onset of chaotic vibrations has been verified.     

On the response of purely nonlinear oscillators: An Ateb-type solution for motion and an Ateb-type external excitation

This study is concerned with free and forced undamped purely nonlinear oscillators. First, the exact closed-form solution for free vibrations given in terms of the Ateb function is discussed. An insight is provided with respect to the period of vibrations and the harmonic content of the response. Then, forced purely nonlinear oscillators with an Ateb-type external excitation are considered. The exact solution for the forced response is obtained, the amplitude-frequency equation derived and frequency-response curves investigated. It is also shown how one can adjust the system parameters to cause a constant frequency/period of the forced response.

An analytical study of the non-linear vibrations of cylindrical shells

The primary resonance response of simply supported circular cylindrical shells is investigated using the perturbation method. Donnell's non-linear shallow-shell theory is used to derive the governing partial differential equations of motion. The Galerkin technique is then employed to transform the equations of motion into a set of temporal ordinary differential equations. Considering only the primary resonance case, the method of multiple scales is used to study the periodic solutions and their stability. The necessary and sufficient conditions for appearance of the so-called companion mode are also discussed. To this end, a range of the possible multi-mode solution is obtained for response and excitation amplitudes and also excitation frequency as a function of damping, geometry and material properties of the shell. Parametric studies are performed to illustrate the effect of different values of thickness, length and material composition on the possibility of the companion mode participation in primary resonance response.     

Internal resonance of an axially transporting beam with a two-frequency parametric excitation

This paper investigates the transverse 3:1 internal resonance of an axially transporting nonlinear viscoelastic Euler-Bernoulli beam with a two-frequency parametric excitation caused by a speed perturbation. The Kelvin-Voigt model is introduced to describe the viscoelastic characteristics of the axially transporting beam. The governing equation and the associated boundary conditions are obtained by Newton’s second law. The method of multiple scales is utilized to obtain the steady-state responses. The Routh-Hurwitz criterion is used to determine the stabilities and bifurcations of the steady-state responses. The effects of the material viscoelastic coefficient on the dynamics of the transporting beam are studied in detail by a series of numerical demonstrations. Interesting phenomena of the steady-state responses are revealed in the 3:1 internal resonance and two-frequency parametric excitation. The approximate analytical method is validated via a differential quadrature method.     

Parametric response of a metallic column at elevated temperature

The parametric response of a metallic column at elevated temperature is investigated, taking into account its non-linear viscous characteristics. An asymptotic method for the determination of the region of self-excitation and the amplitudes and phase angles for both stationary and non-stationary responses is outlined briefly. This method is applied to predict the parametric response of a 2618-T61 Al alloy column at 200°C. It is shown that the region of selfexcitation shifts away from the elastic frequency axis, that the amplitude of the stationary response increases sharply as the excitation parameters move from the stability region into the selfexcitation region and that the amplitude of the non-stationary response can be approximated by the stationary response solution for slow varying excitation frequency.
