Studies on Bifurcation and Chaos of a String-Beam Coupled System with Two Degrees-of-Freedom

In this paper, research on nonlinear dynamic behavior of a string-beam coupled system subjected to parametric and external excitations is presented. The governing equations of motion are obtained for the nonlinear transverse vibrations of the string-beam coupled system. The Galerkin's method is employed to simplify the governing equations to a set of ordinary differential equations with two degrees-of-freedom. The case of 1:2 internal resonance between the modes of the beam and string, principal parametric resonance for the beam, and primary resonance for the string is considered. The method of multiple scales is utilized to analyze the nonlinear responses of the string-beam coupled system. Based on the averaged equation obtained here, the techniques of phase portrait, waveform, and Poincare map are applied to analyze the periodic and chaotic motions. It is found from numerical simulations that there are obvious jumping phenomena in the resonant response–frequency curves. It is indicated from the phase portrait and Poincare map that period-4, period-2, and periodic solutions and chaotic motions occur in the transverse nonlinear vibrations of the string-beam coupled system under certain conditions.

Non-linear stochastic response of a shallow cable

The paper considers the stochastic response of geometrical non-linear shallow cables. Large rain-wind induced cable oscillations with non-linear interactions have been observed in many large cable stayed bridges during the last decades. The response of the cable is investigated for a reduced two-degrees-of-freedom system with one modal coordinate for the in-plane displacement and one for the out-of-plane displacement. At first harmonic varying chord elongation at excitation frequencies close to the corresponding eigenfrequencies of the cable is considered in order to identify stable modes of vibration. Depending on the initial conditions the system may enter one of two states of vibration in the static equilibrium plane with the out-of-plane displacement equal to zero, or a whirling state with the out-of-plane displacement different from zero. Possible solutions are found both analytically and numerically. Next, the chord elongation is modelled as a narrow-banded Gaussian stochastic process, and it is shown that all the indicated harmonic solutions now become instable with probability one. Instead, the cable jumps randomly back and forth between the two in-plane and the whirling mode of vibration. A theory for determining the probability of occupying either of these modes at a certain time is derived based on a homogeneous, continuous time three states Markov chain model. It is shown that the transitional probability rates can be determined by first-passage crossing rates of the envelope process of the chord wise component of the support point motion relative to a safe domain determined from the harmonic analysis of the problem.

Advanced response surface method for mechanical reliability analysis

Based on the classical response surface method (RSM), a novel RSM using improved experimental points (EPs) is presented for reliability analysis. Two novel points are included in the presented method. One is the use of linear interpolation, from which the total EPs for determining the RS are selected to be closer to the actual failure surface; the other is the application of sequential linear interpolation to control the distance between the surrounding EPs and the center EP, by which the presented method can ensure that the RS fits the actual failure surface in the region of maximum likelihood as the center EPs converge to the actual most probable point (MPP). Since the fitting precision of the RS to the actual failure surface in the vicinity of the MPP, which has significant contribution to the probability of the failure surface being exceeded, is increased by the presented method, the precision of the failure probability calculated by RS is increased as well. Numerical examples illustrate the accuracy and efficiency of the presented method.     

三线性滞回系统的稳态响应

提出了一种三线性滞回阻尼模型。用Krylov-Bogoliubov缓变系灵敏法研究了正弦型激励下单自由度三线性滞回系统的稳态响应。当本文的三线性模型退化为双线性模型时。本文结果与Caughey的结果是一致的。研究结果还发现。这种系统的稳态解总是稳定的，没有振幅的跳跃现象发生。但在激振力力幅达到一定值时能够发生无界响应。此外还发现，稳态振动达到峰值振幅时滞回面积（即最大滞回面积）对峰值振幅的比值和激振力力幅成正比。这个结论与双非线性滞回系统的相应结论是一致的。     

基于虚拟响应信号的结构参数时域辨识研究

在充分考虑线性动力系统的时域响应特性以及小波包分析的频率空间剖分特性的基础上,提出了一种基于虚拟响应信息提取的信号去噪新方法.虚拟响应虽然没有在结构动力检测过程中真实发生,但却是在某种激励下可以实现的一个响应,因此,根据虚拟响应信息同样可以进行结构系统的动力识别.数值研究表明,对于地脉动响应这种有效信号频带与噪声频带相互覆盖的低信噪比信号而言,小波阈值去噪法已无能为力,而基于虚拟响应信息提取的信号去噪方法则有较好的去噪效果.
