Nonlinear vibration of a rotating cantilever beam in a surrounding magnetic field

The nonlinear vibrations of a rotating cantilever beam made of magnetoelastic materials surrounded by a uniform magnetic field are investigated. The kinetic energy, potential energy and work done by the electromagnetic force are obtained. A nonlinear dynamic model, based on the Hamilton principle, which includes the stretching vibration and bending vibration is presented. The Galerkin method is adopted to discretize the dynamic equations. The proposed method is validated by comparison with the literature. The nonlinear behaviors of the responses are studied. Then simulations for different kinds of magnetic field are conducted. The effects of magnetic field parameters, including the amplitude, plane angle, spatial angle and time-varying frequency, on the dynamic behaviors of the stretching motion and bending motion are investigated in detail. The results illustrate that the interaction effects between the rotating cantilever beam and the magnetic field will increase the vibration amplitude and fluctuation of the beam. In particular, we found that: collinear magnetic fields with equal amplitude lead to the same dynamic responses; the amplitude of magnetic field intensity increases the dynamic responses remarkably; the response amplitude changes nonlinearly with the plane angle and spatial angle of the magnetic field; and the increase of time-varying frequency enhances dynamic responses of the rotating cantilever beam.     

Wake modes of a cylinder undergoing free streamwise vortex-induced vibrations

Simultaneous measurements of the response of a circular cylinder experiencing vortex-induced vibrations (VIVs) in the streamwise direction and the resulting wake field were performed for a range of reduced velocities using time-resolved Particle-Image Velocimetry in the Reynolds number range 450–3700. The dominant vortex shedding mode was identified using phase-averaged vorticity fields. The cylinder response amplitude was characterised by two response branches, separated by a low amplitude region at resonance, as has been previously reported in the literature. During the first response branch the wake exhibited not only the symmetric S-I mode, but also the alternate A-II mode at slightly higher reduced velocities. For both modes, the vortices were observed to be shed at the cylinder response frequency, but rearranged downstream into a more stable structure in which the velocity fluctuations were no longer synchronised to the cylinder motion. A special case of the A-II mode, referred to as the SA mode, was found to dominate in the second response branch and the low amplitude region, while the far wake and the cylinder motion were synchronised (lock-in). A change in the timing of the vortex shedding with respect to the cylinder motion was observed between the low amplitude region and the second response branch. This is likely to correspond to a change in the fluid forcing and levels of excitation, and may explain the variation in the cylinder amplitude observed in this region. Lock-in and the second response branch were found to coincide with a contraction of the wake and an increase in strength of the shed vortices. This work reveals the inherent differences between the extensively studied case of transverse-only VIV and the streamwise-only case, which is crucial if the wealth of information available on transverse VIV is to be extended to the more practical two degree-of-freedom case.     

Subharmonic resonance of a clamped-clamped buckled beam with 1:1 internal resonance under base harmonic excitations

The subharmonic resonance and bifurcations of a clamped-clamped buckled beam under base harmonic excitations are investigated. The nonlinear partial integrodifferential equation of the motion of the buckled beam with both quadratic and cubic nonlinearities is given by using Hamilton's principle. A set of second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations are obtained by spatial discretization with the Galerkin method. A high-dimensional model of the buckled beam is derived, concerning nonlinear coupling. The incremental harmonic balance (IHB) method is used to achieve the periodic solutions of the high-dimensional model of the buckled beam to observe the nonlinear frequency response curve and the nonlinear amplitude response curve, and the Floquet theory is used to analyze the stability of the periodic solutions. Attention is focused on the subharmonic resonance caused by the internal resonance as the excitation frequency near twice of the first natural frequency of the buckled beam with/without the antisymmetric modes being excited. Bifurcations including the saddle-node, Hopf, perioddoubling, and symmetry-breaking bifurcations are observed. Furthermore, quasi-periodic motion is observed by using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method, which results from the Hopf bifurcation of the response of the buckled beam with the anti-symmetric modes being excited.     

Steady-state responses of a belt-drive dynamical system under dual excitations

The stable steady-state periodic responses of a belt-drive system with a one-way clutch are studied. For the first time, the dynamical system is investigated under dual excitations. The system is simultaneously excited by the firing pulsations of the engine and the harmonic motion of the foundation. Nonlinear discrete–continuous equations are derived for coupling the transverse vibration of the belt spans and the rotations of the driving and driven pulleys and the accessory pulley. The nonlinear dynamics is studied under equal and multiple relations between the frequency of the firing pulsations and the frequency of the foundation motion.Furthermore, translating belt spans are modeled as axially moving strings. A set of nonlinear piecewise ordinary differential equations is achieved by using the Galerkin truncation.Under various relations between the excitation frequencies,the time histories of the dynamical system are numerically simulated based on the time discretization method. Furthermore, the stable steady-state periodic response curves are calculated based on the frequency sweep. Moreover, the convergence of the Galerkin truncation is examined. Numerical results demonstrate that the one-way clutch reduces the resonance amplitude of the rotations of the driven pulley and the accessory pulley. On the other hand, numerical examples prove that the resonance areas of the belt spans are decreased by eliminating the torque-transmitting in the opposite direction. With the increasing amplitude of the foundation excitation, the damping effect of the one-way clutch will be reduced. Furthermore, as the amplitude of the firingpulsations of the engine increases, the jumping phenomena in steady-state response curves of the belt-drive system with or without a one-way clutch both occur.     

Effects of bracings and motion coupling on resonance features of semi-submersible platform under irregular wave conditions

Resonance is a critical consideration in the design of offshore floating structures. This paper aims at analysing the nonlinear effects of bracings and motion coupling on the resonance features of a semi-submersible platform. An improved mathematical model based on potential theory is proposed to simulate the motion response of a semi-submersible platform under irregular wave conditions, considering both the variations of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic forces induced by the bracings entering and exiting the water and the nonlinear coupling induced by the platform motions. For comparison purposes, numerical simulations are also performed using a mathematical model without considering the aforementioned effects. Validated by results of wave basin tests and numerical simulations, the proposed model performs much better in capturing the characteristic resonance features of pitch motion in low-frequency region. The nonlinear hydrostatic effect of bracings leads to the increase of resonance frequency as the motion amplitude increases, while the hydrodynamic force on the bracings and the nonlinear motion coupling only influence the amplitude of resonance spectral peak. In addition, factors influencing the nonlinear effects such as the vertical position and diameter of bracings and the pitch restoring coefficient are further investigated. It is revealed that the deviation of pitch resonance frequency has evident dependence on the ratio between nonlinear and linear volumetric variations, and an empirical formula estimating the resonance frequency is proposed using the observed dependence. Theoretically, both smaller bracing radius and larger pitch restoring coefficient are beneficial for suppressing the resonance induced by the nonlinear effects. The proposed model can be an effective tool for predicting the motion response, and the understanding of the resonance features is helpful for the design of semi-submersibles.     

Mathematical modelling and control of a nonholonomic spherical robot on a variable-slope inclined plane using terminal sliding mode control

In this paper, the three degrees-of-freedom motion of a two-dimensional rectangular liquid tank under wave action is simulated by the boundary element method in time domain. The coupling effects between tank motion and internal sloshing flow are investigated in partially filled conditions. The fourth-order Runge–Kutta method is adopted to update the wave shape and velocity potential on the free surface. The fully nonlinear mutual dependence of the incident wave, tank motion and internal sloshing flow is decoupled through an auxiliary function method, by which the liquid tank acceleration can be obtained directly without knowing the pressure distribution. The corresponding validation of numerical model is carried out and indicates that the accuracy of the present method is satisfactory to evaluate the dynamic responses of tank and sloshing motion. The corresponding response amplitude operators of tank motions for various wave frequencies, amplitudes and filling conditions are obtained, and the nonlinear coupling effects of sloshing flow on the tank responses are analyzed. It is found that the coupling effects have significant influence on sway and roll motion while have little impact on heave motion. The most important coupling effects on roll motion are the split of peak. In addition, due to the nonlinearity of sloshing flow, the roll motion amplitude is not linearly proportional to wave amplitude.     

Vortex-induced vibrations of pipes conveying fluid in the subcritical and supercritical regimes

In this paper, the vortex-induced vibrations of a hinged–hinged pipe conveying fluid are examined, by considering the internal fluid velocities ranging from the subcritical to the supercritical regions. The nonlinear coupled equations of motion are discretized by employing a four-mode Galerkin method. Based on numerical simulations, diagrams of the displacement amplitude versus the external fluid reduced velocity are constructed for pipes transporting subcritical and supercritical fluid flows. It is shown that when the internal fluid velocity is in the subcritical region, the pipe is always vibrating periodically around the pre-buckling configuration and that with increasing external fluid reduced velocity the peak amplitude of the pipe increases first and then decreases, with jumping phenomenon between the upper and lower response branches. When the internal fluid velocity is in the supercritical region, however, the pipe displays various dynamical behaviors around the post-buckling configuration such as inverse period-doubling bifurcations, periodic and chaotic motions. Moreover, the bifurcation diagrams for vibration amplitude of the pipe with varying internal fluid velocities are constructed for each of the lowest four modes of the pipe in the lock-in conditions. The results show that there is a significant difference between the vibrations of the pipe around the pre-buckling configuration and those around the post-buckling configuration.     

FLOW-INDUCED INTERNAL RESONANCES AND MODE EXCHANGE IN HORIZONTAL CANTILEVERED PIPE CONVEYING FLUID （Ⅱ）

Based on the nonlinear mathematical model of motion of a horizontally can-tilevered rigid pipe conveying fluid, the 3:1 internal resonance induced by the minimum critical velocity is studied in details. With the detuning parameters of internal and primary resonances and the amplitude of the external disturbing excitation varying, the flow in the neighborhood of the critical flow velocity yields that some nonlinearly dynamical behaviors occur in the system such as mode exchange, saddle-node, Hopf and co-dimension 2 bifurcations. Correspondingly, the periodic motion losses its stability by jumping or flutter, and more complicated motions occur in the pipe under consideration. The good agreement between the analytical analysis and the numerical simulation for several parameters ensures the validity and accuracy of the present analysis.
