Recursive-operator method in vibration problems for rod systems

Using linear differential equations with constant coefficients describing one-dimensional dynamical processes as an example, we show that the solutions of these equations and systems are related to the solution of the corresponding numerical recursion relations and one does not have to compute the roots of the corresponding characteristic equations. The arbitrary functions occurring in the general solution of the homogeneous equations are determined by the initial and boundary conditions or are chosen from various classes of analytic functions. The solutions of the inhomogeneous equations are constructed in the form of integro-differential series acting on the right-hand side of the equation, and the coefficients of the series are determined from the same recursion relations. The convergence of formal solutions as series of a more general recursive-operator construction was proved in [1]. In the special case where the solutions of the equation can be represented in separated variables, the power series can be effectively summed, i.e., expressed in terms of elementary functions, and coincide with the known solutions. In this case, to determine the natural vibration frequencies, one obtains algebraic rather than transcendental equations, which permits exactly determining the imaginary and complex roots of these equations without using the graphic method [2, pp. 448–449]. The correctness of the obtained formulas (differentiation formulas, explicit expressions for the series coefficients, etc.) can be verified directly by appropriate substitutions; therefore, we do not prove them here.

Second order hyperbolic equations with small non-linearities in the case of internal resonance

The monofrequent solutions of certain autonomous second order hyperbolic differential equations with weak non-linearities are found in the case when some of the natural frequencies of the generating equation are in integral ratio. The approach use is a development of the KrylovBogoliubov-Mitropolskii method. The solution found is applied to the case of the longitudinal vibrations of a rod for which the stress-strain relation contains a small non-linear term and to the case of the vibrations of a rod with small inhomogeneities of density and elastic modulus and with small damping.

Stability of bars with variable rigidity compressed by a distributed force

A variable cross-section bar is considered. The bar is not uniform in length. The bar is compressed by a variable longitudinal force distributed along its axis. The stability loss in the straightline shape of the bar’s equilibrium is discussed when a curved shape is also possible. The critical combination between rigidity and the longitudinal force is a result of using an integral representation for the solution to the original stability equation with variable coefficients with the aid of the solution to a similar equation with constant coefficients. The integral representation contains the Green function of the original equation. This function is determined by the method of perturbations. The numerical results obtained by the derived formulas are compared with the known exact solutions to the stability equations for various particular cases.     

The displacement solution of conical shell and its application

In this paper,the displacement solution method of the conical shell is presented.Fromthe differential equations in displacement form of conical shell and by introducing adisplacement function,U(s,θ),the differential equations are changed into an eight-ordersoluble partial differential equation about the displacement function U(s,θ)in which thecoefficients are variable.At the same time,the expressions of the displacement and internalforce components of the shell are also given by the displacement function.As special casesof this paper,the displacement function introduced by V.Z.Vlasov in circular cylindricalshell,the basic equation of the cylindrical shell and that of the circular plate are directlyderived.Under the arbitrary loads and boundary conditions,the general bending problem of theconical shell is reduced to finding the displacement function U(s,θ),and the generalsolution of the governing equation is obtained in generalized hypergeometric function,Forthe axisymmetric bending deformation of the     

Geometrically exact planar beams with initial pre-stress and large curvature: Static configurations,natural frequencies,and mode shapes

Within this paper, an analytical formulation is provided and used to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a planar beam with initial pre-stress and large variable curvature. The static configuration, mode shapes, and natural frequencies of the pre-stressed beam are obtained by using geometrically exact, Euler–Bernoulli beam theory. The beam is assumed to be not shear deformable and inextensible because of its slenderness and uniform, closed cross-section, as well as the boundary conditions under consideration. The static configuration and the modal information are validated with experimental data and compared to results obtained from nonlinear finite-element analysis software. In addition to the modal analysis about general static configurations, special consideration is given to an initially straight beam that is deformed into semi-circular and circular static configurations. For these special circular cases, the partial differential equation of motion is reduced to a sixth-order differential equation with constant coefficients, and solutions of this system are examined. This work can serve as a basis for studying slender structures with large curvatures.     

Supercritical vibration of nonlinear coupled moving beams based on discrete Fourier transform

Natural frequencies of nonlinear coupled planar vibration are investigated for axially moving beams in the supercritical transport speed ranges. The straight equilibrium configuration bifurcates in multiple equilibrium positions in the supercritical regime. The finite difference scheme is developed to calculate the non-trivial static equilibrium. The equations are cast in the standard form of continuous gyroscopic systems via introducing a coordinate transform for non-trivial equilibrium configuration. Under fixed boundary conditions, time series are calculated via the finite difference method. Based on the time series, the natural frequencies of nonlinear planar vibration, which are determined via discrete Fourier transform (DFT), are compared with the results of the Galerkin method for the corresponding governing equations without nonlinear parts. The effects of material parameters and vibration amplitude on the natural frequencies are investigated through parametric studies. The model of coupled planar vibration can reduce to two nonlinear models of transverse vibration. For the transverse integro-partial-differential equation, the equilibrium solutions are performed analytically under the fixed boundary conditions. Numerical examples indicate that the integro-partial-differential equation yields natural frequencies closer to those of the coupled planar equation.     

Finite-amplitude acoustic pulses in a waveguide layer with longitudinal inhomogeneity

This paper considers the propagation of a weakly nonlinear acoustic pulse in a slightly curved waveguide layer which is strongly inhomogeneous in the transverse direction and weakly inhomogeneous in the longitudinal direction. The basic system of hydrodynamic equations reduces to a nonlinear wave equation, whose coefficients are determined using the equations of state of the medium. It is established that as the adiabatic exponent passes through the value γ = 3/2, the nature of the pulse propagation changes: for large values of γ, the medium is focusing, and for smaller values, it is defocusing. It is shown that the pulse propagation process is characterized by three scales: the high-frequency filling is modulated by the envelope, whose evolution, in turn, is determined by the moderate-rate evolution of the envelope phase and slow amplitude variation. A generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation with the coefficients dependent on the longitudinal coordinate is derived for the pulse envelope. An explicit soliton solution of this equation is constructed for some types of longitudinal inhomogeneity.

The exact solution for the general bending problems of conical shells on the elastic foundation

The general bending problem of conical shells on the elastic foundation (Winkler Medium) is not solved. In this paper, the displacement solution method for this problem is presented. From the governing differential equations in displacement form of conical shell and by introducing a displacement function U(s,θ), the differential equations are changed into an eight-order soluble partial differential equation about the displacement function U(s,θ) in which the coefficients are variable. At the same time, the expressions of the displacement and internal force components of the shell are also given by the displacement function U(s θ). As special cases of this paper, the displacement function introduced by V.S. Vlasov in circular cylindrical shell^[5], the basic equation of the cylindrical shell on the elastic foundation and that of the circular plates on the elastic foundation are directly derived.Under the arbitrary loads and boundary conditions, the general bending problem of the conical shell on the elastic foundation is reduced to find the displacement function U(s,θ).The general solution of the eight-order differential equation is obtained in series form. For the symmetric bending deformation of the conical shell on the elastic foundation, which has been widely usedinpractice,the detailed numerical results and boundary influence coefficients for edge loads have been obtained. These results have important meaning in analysis of conical shell combination construction on the elastic foundation,and provide a valuable judgement for the numerical solution accuracy of some of the same type of the existing problem.     

Dynamics of the geometrically non-linear analysis of anisotropic laminated cylindrical shells

A general approach, based on shearable shell theory, to predict the influence of geometric non-linearities on the natural frequencies of an elastic anisotropic laminated cylindrical shell incorporating large displacements and rotations is presented in this paper. The effects of shear deformations and rotary inertia are taken into account in the equations of motion. The hybrid finite element approach and shearable shell theory are used to determine the shape function matrix. The analytical solution is divided into two parts. In part one, the displacement functions are obtained by the exact solution of the equilibrium equations of a cylindrical shell based on shearable shell theory instead of the usually used and more arbitrary interpolating polynomials. The mass and linear stiffness matrices are derived by exact analytical integration. In part two, the modal coefficients are obtained, using Green's exact strain-displacement relations, for these displacement functions. The second- and third-order non-linear stiffness matrices are then calculated by precise analytical integration and superimposed on the linear part of equations to establish the non-linear modal equations. Comparison with available results is satisfactorily good.     

Dynamics of cantilever plates and its hybrid vibration control

Applying Lagrange–Germain’s theory of elastic thin plates and Hamiltonian formulation, the dynamics of cantilever plates and the problem of its vibration control are studied, and a general solution is finally given. Based on Hamiltonian and Lagrangian density function, we can obtain the flexural wave equation of the plate and the relationship between the transverse and the longitudinal eigenvalues.Based on eigenfunction expansion, dispersion equations of propagation mode of cantilever plates are deduced. By satisfying the boundary conditions of cantilever plates, the natural frequencies of the cantilever plate structure can be given.Then, analytic solution of the problem in plate structure is obtained. An hybrid wave/mode control approach, which is based on both independent modal space control and wave control methods, is described and adopted to analyze the active vibration control of cantilever plates. The low-order(controlled by modal control) and the high-order(controlled by wave control) frequency response of plates are both improved. The control spillover is avoided and the robustness of the system is also improved. Finally, simulation results are analyzed and discussed.     

In-plane free vibration and stability of loaded and shear-deformable circular arches

The first known equations governing vibrations of preloaded, shear-deformable circular arches are derived according to a variational principle for dynamic problems concerning an elastic body under equilibrium initial stresses. The equations are three partial differential equations with variable coefficients. The governing equations are solved for arches statically preloaded with a uniformly distributed vertical loading, by obtaining a static, closed-form solution and an analytical dynamic solution from series solutions and dynamic stiffness matrices. Convergence to accurate results is obtained by increasing the number of elements or by increasing both the number of terms in the series solution and the number of terms in the Taylor expansion of the variable coefficients. Graphs of non-dimensional frequencies and buckling loads are presented for preloaded clamped arches. They clarify the effects of opening angle and thickness-to-radius ratio on vibration frequencies and buckling loads. The effects of static deformations on vibration frequencies are also investigated. This work also compares the results obtained from the proposed governing equations with those obtained from the classical theory neglecting shear deformation.     

On coalescence of frequencies and conical points in the dispersion spectra of elastic bodies

In this paper we discuss a general procedure for determining the critical points of the dispersion spectrum at which there is a coalescence of frequencies, i.e. critical points which are roots of double multiplicity. We further show how the general behavior of the dispersion surface in the neighborhood of the critical points can be determined analytically. For the purpose of illustration, we consider (a) plane waves propagating in an infinite, elastic, isotropic plate, which corresponds to the case of a differential equation with constant coefficients, and (b) Floquet waves of the SH-type propagating in a layered, elastic medium, which corresponds to the case of a differential equation with periodic coefficients.     

New truncated expansion method and soliton-like solution of variable coefficient KdV-MKdV equation with three arbitrary functions

The truncated expansion method for finding explicit and exact soliton-like solution of variable coefficient nonlinear evolution equation was described. The crucial idea of the method was first the assumption that coefficients of the truncated expansion formal solution are functions of time satisfying a set of algebraic equations, and then a set of ordinary different equations of undetermined functions that can be easily integrated were obtained. The simplicity and effectiveness of the method by application to a general variable coefficient KdV-MKdV equation with three arbitrary functions of time is illustrated.     

Parametric vibrations and stability of an axially accelerating string guided by a non-linear elastic foundation

Parametric vibrations and stability of an axially accelerating string guided by a non-linear elastic foundation are studied analytically. The axial speed, as the source of parametric vibrations, is assumed to involve a mean speed, along with small harmonic variations. The method of multiple scales is applied to the governing non-linear equation of motion and then the natural frequencies and mode shape equations of the system are derived using the equation of order one, and satisfying the compatibility conditions. Using the equation of order epsilon, the solvability conditions are obtained for three distinct cases of axial acceleration frequency. For all cases, the stability areas of system are constructed analytically. Finally, some numerical simulations are presented to highlight the effects of system parameters on vibration, natural frequencies, frequency-response curves, stability, and bifurcation points of the system.

A state space formalism for anisotropic elasticity. Part I: Rectilinear anisotropy

A state space formalism for anisotropic elasticity including the thermal effect is developed. A salient feature of the formalism is that it bridges the compliance-based and stiffness-based formalisms in a natural way. The displacement and stress components and the thermoelastic constants of a general anisotropic elastic material appear explicitly in the formulation, yet it is simple and clear. This is achieved by using the matrix notation to express the basic equations and grouping the stress in such a way that it enables us to cast neatly the three-dimensional equations of anisotropic elasticity into a compact state equation and an output equation. The homogeneous solution to the state equation for the generalized plane problem leads naturally to the eigen relation and the sextic equation of Stroh. Extension, twisting, bending, temperature change and body forces are accounted for through the particular solution. Based on the formalism the general solution for generalized plane strain and generalized torsion of an anisotropic elastic body are determined in an elegant manner.     

Nonlocal vibration of carbon nanotubes with attached buckyballs at tip

Nonlocal longitudinal vibration of single-walled-carbon-nanotubes (SWCNTs) with attached buckyballs is considered. Attached buckyball at the tip of a SWCNT can significantly influence the resonance frequency of the vibrating system. Closed-form nonlocal transcendental equation for vibrating system with arbitrary mass ratio i.e. mass of buckyball to mass of SWCNT is derived. Nonlocal elasticity concept is employed to develop the frequency equations. Explicit analytical expressions of axial frequencies are proposed when mass of the attached buckyball is larger than the mass of SWCNT. Nonlocal longitudinal frequencies are validated with existing molecular dynamic simulation result. For arbitrary mass ratios, the frequency shifts in SWCNT due to (i) added buckyballs and (ii) nonlocal-effects are investigated. The present communication may be useful when designing tuneable resonator in NEMS applications.
