Acoustic resonance phenomena in air bleed channels in aviation engines

The existence of axial–radial acoustic resonance oscillations of the basic air flow in bleed channels of aviation engines is demonstrated theoretically and experimentally. Numerical and analytical methods are used to determine the frequency of acoustic resonance oscillations for the lowest modes of open and closed bleed channels of the PS-90A engine. Experimental investigations reveal new acoustic resonance phenomena arising in the air flow in bleed channel cavities in the core duct of this engine owing to instability of the basic air flow. The results of numerical, analytical, and experimental studies of the resonance frequencies reached in the flow in bleed channel cavities in the core duct of the PS-90A engine are found to be in reasonable agreement. As a result, various types of resonance oscillations in bleed channels can be accurately described.     

Hall effects on unsteady flow of a viscous fluid due to non-coaxial rotation of a porous disk and a fluid at infinity

An exact solution of the unsteady hydromagnetic flow due to non-coaxial rotations of a porous disk and a fluid at infinity is obtained on taking Hall currents into account. An analytical solution of the problem is obtained for small and large times after the start by the Laplace transform method. It is found that for small values of time there is no inertial oscillations while for large time the steady state is reached through inertial oscillations. The frequency of these oscillations first increases, reaches a maximum and then decreases with increase in Hall parameter.     

Quasi-periodic oscillation envelopes and frequency locking in rapidly vibrated nonlinear systems with time delay

The effect of time-delayed feedback and fast harmonic excitation (FHE) on stationary periodic vibration and quasi-periodic responses in a parametric and self-excited weakly nonlinear oscillator is analyzed in this paper. The method of direct partition of motion and two stages of multiple scales analysis are conducted to obtain analytical approximation for quasi-periodic oscillation envelopes and frequency-locking area near primary resonance. A parameter study shows that, in the absence or the presence of high-frequency excitation, time-delayed feedback may reduce significantly the amplitude and the envelopes of quasi-periodic oscillations leading to a quasi synchronization of the response over the whole frequency range around the resonance. The results presented for the parameters tested agree well with results obtained by numerical simulation.     

The effects of internal resonance on impulsively forced non-linear systems with two degrees of freedom

A partial analytical solution is obtained.The method is illustrated by an example in which the internal resonance effects are shown to be significant.     

One-to-two global-local interaction in a cable-stayed beam observed through analytical, finite element and experimental models

The mechanism of cable end angle-variation induced oscillations in the non-linear interactions between beams and cables in stayed-systems is first explained by a proposed analytical model. It is then verified by both experimental and finite element models. The non-linear interaction maximizes its effects for cable oscillations when inherent quadratic coupling between local and global modes produces energy transfer from low to high frequency vibrations by means of a one-to-two global-local autoparametric resonance. The response of the analytical model is fully described using a continuation method applied directly to the reduced two degree of freedom discrete model showing that, for a selected one-to-two global-local resonant system, primary harmonic excitation of the global mode produces large oscillations of the local mode at twice the excitation frequency. Detailed comparisons between the responses of the analytical model, experimental results and finite element simulations show excellent agreement both in the qualitative behaviour and in the calculated/measured response amplitudes.     

Analytical conditions for the existence of a two-parameter family of periodic orbits in nonautonomous dynamical systems

The two-parameter perturbation method, applied to the example of periodic oscillations in periodically driven nonlinear dynamical systems, is presented. The analytical conditions are given for the existence of a two-parameter family of periodic orbits in nonautonomous dynamical systems in both non-resonance and resonance cases.     

Analytical prediction and experimental validation for longitudinal control of cable oscillations

The paper summarizes the knowledge acquired from the analytical studies and the experimental implementation of a longitudinal non-collocated control strategy for the reduction of cable oscillations. The control is introduced by imposing a longitudinal action at one support based on the knowledge of transverse displacements and velocities of a few selected points. A spatially one-dimensional continuous model of a suspended cable has been used to describe the main features of the non-collocated longitudinal active control strategy. A discrete modal representation has permitted the introduction of suitable non-linear state-feedback controllers. The results have been used to derive an implementable strategy, based on direct output feedback, which preserves the main previous control features. A physical model of an actively controlled cable has been used to demonstrate the control effectiveness of the proposed strategy through a large campaign of experiments, conducted in various frequency ranges and amplitude levels including meaningful external resonance conditions. The responses predicted by the analytical model and the experimental results show good qualitative agreement with one another, in both the uncontrolled and controlled experienced cable dynamics.     

Dynamical investigation of effects of variable damper settings induced brake pressure oscillations on axle and wheel oscillations during ABS-braking based on experimental study

In this study, the effects of variable damping setting induced brake pressure oscillations on axle and wheel oscillations have been experimentally explored. For this, antilock brake system (ABS) tests are conducted on wet and slippery rough roads with hard, medium-hard and soft shock absorbers. In ABS tests, the axle height, the longitudinal and vertical axle accelerations have been measured. The results are discussed for time and frequency responses of axle vibrations in vertical and longitudinal direction. The time responses are separately considered for high and low piston velocities of damper. Also, in order to occur the effects of changes in ABS-brake pressure on axle vibrations, novel rules are designed. These rules are based on the integration of suspension dynamics into braking dynamics. The results show that the brake pressure is distinctly changed by variable damping settings. In time responses, these differences are determined by changes in time period and magnitude of brake pressure during build-up and reduction process. In frequency responses, the brake pressure differences are occurred by the different change frequencies of brake pressure causing resonance at axle vibrations. Also, the changes in magnitude of resonance peaks have determined the effects of brake pressure changes on axle vibrations. As a result, it is possible to damp the oscillations by changing the magnitude and frequency of brake pressure by means of the damper settings during ABS-braking.     

Global Bifurcations and Chaotic Dynamics in Nonlinear Nonplanar Oscillations of a Parametrically Excited Cantilever Beam

This paper presents the analysis of the global bifurcations and chaotic dynamics for the nonlinear nonplanar oscillations of a cantilever beam subjected to a harmonic axial excitation and transverse excitations at the free end. The governing nonlinear equations of nonplanar motion with parametric and external excitations are obtained. The Galerkin procedure is applied to the partial differential governing equation to obtain a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system with parametric and forcing excitations. The resonant case considered here is 2:1 internal resonance, principal parametric resonance-1/2 subharmonic resonance for the in-plane mode and fundamental parametric resonance–primary resonance for the out-of-plane mode. The parametrically and externally excited system is transformed to the averaged equations by using the method of multiple scales. From the averaged equation obtained here, the theory of normal form is applied to find the explicit formulas of normal forms associated with a double zero and a pair of pure imaginary eigenvalues. Based on the normal form obtained above, a global perturbation method is utilized to analyze the global bifurcations and chaotic dynamics in the nonlinear nonplanar oscillations of the cantilever beam. The global bifurcation analysis indicates that there exist the heteroclinic bifurcations and the Silnikov type single-pulse homoclinic orbit in the averaged equation for the nonlinear nonplanar oscillations of the cantilever beam. These results show that the chaotic motions can occur in the nonlinear nonplanar oscillations of the cantilever beam. Numerical simulations verify the analytical predictions.     

Nonlinear interactions in the planar dynamics of cable-stayed beam

An analytical model is proposed to study the nonlinear interactions between beam and cable dynamics in stayed-systems. The integro-differential problem, describing the in-plane motion of a simple cable-stayed beam, presents quadratic and cubic nonlinearities both in the cable equation and at the boundary conditions. Mainly studied are the effects of quadratic interactions, appearing at relatively low oscillation amplitude. To this end an analysis of the sensitivity of modal properties to parameter variations, in intervals of technical interest, has evidenced the occurrence of one-to-two and two-to-one internal resonances between global and local modes. The interactions between the resonant modes evidences two different sources of oscillation in cables, illustrated by simple 2dof discrete models.In the one-to-two global–local resonance, a novel mechanism is analyzed, by which cable undergoes large periodic and chaotic oscillations due to an energy transfer from the low-global to high-local frequencies.In two-to-one global–local resonance, the well-known parametric-induced cable oscillation in stayed-systems is correctly reinterpreted through the autoparametric resonance between a global and a local mode. Increasing the load the saturation of the global oscillations evidences the energy transfer from high-global to low-local frequencies, producing large cable oscillations. In both cases, the effects of detuning from internal and external resonance are presented.     

Kinematically exact curved and twisted strain-based beam

The paper presents a formulation of the geometrically exact three-dimensional beam theory where the shape functions of three-dimensional rotations are obtained from strains by the analytical solution of kinematic equations. In general it is very demanding to obtain rotations from known rotational strains. In the paper we limit our studies to the constant strain field along the element. The relation between the total three-dimensional rotations and the rotational strains is complicated even when a constant strain field is assumed. The analytical solution for the rotation matrix is for constant rotational strains expressed by the matrix exponential. Despite the analytical relationship between rotations and rotational strains, the governing equations of the beam are in general too demanding to be solved analytically. A finite-element strain-based formulation is presented in which numerical integration in governing equations and their variations is completely omitted and replaced by analytical integrals. Some interesting connections between quantities and non-linear expressions of the beam are revealed. These relations can also serve as useful guidelines in the development of new finite elements, especially in the choice of suitable shape functions.     

Identification of limit cycles for piecewise nonlinear aeroelastic systems

This paper describes two methods for the analysis of aeroelastic systems with complex piecewise nonlinear structural stiffness. These methods are tested and compared for low speed incompressible and transonic flows. The first technique employed in this paper uses a new application of the analytical solution of linear algebraic systems, the second technique utilises logarithmic and tanh functions to both represent discrete nonlinearities and to act as a switch between different nonlinear areas. The transonic aerodynamic models used are generated using an eigenvalue realisation algorithm (ERA) which produces reduced order models (ROMs) from the pulse responses of time linearised Euler simulations. It is shown that such aerodynamic models are well suited to use with continuation methods. Flutter boundaries and limit cycle oscillations can then be rapidly identified with good accuracy.

Two-phase refrigerant flow instability analysis and active control in transient electronics cooling systems

Two-loop refrigeration systems are being explored for two-phase cooling of ultra high power electronic components. For effective and efficient thermal management of electronic systems, active control methods are desired to suppress inherent flow instabilities especially in transient applications. This paper presents a framework for the transient analysis and active control of pressure-drop flow instabilities under varying imposed heat loads. The external effects on boiling flow characteristics and the boiling oscillatory flow responses to transient heat load changes are studied. Flow instability margins can be quantitatively predicted from an analytical two-phase flow model. In addition, the effects of wall thermal inertia on flow oscillations is systematically investigated. Based on the theoretical analysis of oscillatory flow boiling of refrigerants, a set of active control schemes are developed and studied to suppress flow oscillations and to increase the critical heat flux. With the available control devices – inlet valve and supply pump – different active control schemes are studied to improve the transient two-phase cooling performance.     

Evolution of the double-jumping in pipes conveying fluid flowing at the supercritical speed

Non-linear vibration of viscoelastic pipes conveying fluid around curved equilibrium due to the supercritical flow is investigated with the emphasis on steady-state response in external and internal resonances. The governing equation, a non-linear integro-partial-differential equation, is truncated into a perturbed gyroscopic system via the Galerkin method. The method of multiple scales is applied to establish the solvability condition in the first primary resonance and the 2:1 internal resonance. The approximate analytical expressions are derived for the frequency–amplitude curves of the steady-state responses. The stabilities of the steady-state responses are determined. The generation and the vanishing of a double-jumping phenomenon on the frequency–amplitude curves are examined. The analytical results are supported by the numerical integration results.     

Modal interactions in the vibrations of a heated annular plate

We investigate the non-linear forced vibrations of a thermally loaded annular plate with clamped–clamped immovable boundary conditions in the presence of a three-to-one internal resonance between the first and second axisymmetric modes. We consider the in-plane thermal load to be axisymmetric and excite the plate externally by a harmonic force near primary resonance of the second mode. We then use the non-linear von Kármán plate equations to model the behavior of the system and apply the method of multiple scales to investigate its responses. We found that the response can be periodic oscillations consisting of both modes, with a large component from the first mode. Moreover, the periodic solutions may undergo Hopf bifurcations, which lead to aperiodic oscillations of the plate.     

Three-Period Quasi-Periodic Solutions in the Self-Excited Quasi-Periodic Mathieu Oscillator

In this work, we investigate three-period quasi-periodic (QP) oscillations in the vicinity of 2:2:1 resonance in a self-excited QP Mathieu equation using perturbation method. Two successive averaging are performed to reduce the original QP equation to an autonomous amplitude and phase system describing the modulation of the slow flow dynamic. Approximation of three-period QP solution is obtained via the study of limit cycle of the reduced autonomous system. The efficiency of the method is illustrated by comparison between analytical approximations and numerical integration. The double reduction procedure, applied in previous works to construct two-period QP solution, can be implemented to approximate excplicit analytical three-period QP solutions.     

Nonlinear state feedback control design to eliminate subcritical limit cycle oscillations in aeroelastic systems

A strictly nonlinear state feedback control law is designed for an aeroelastic system to eliminate subcritical limit cycle oscillations. Numerical continuation techniques and harmonic balance methods are employed to generate analytical estimates of limit cycle oscillation commencement velocity and its sensitivity with respect to the introduced control parameters. The obtained estimates are used in a multiobjective optimization framework to generate optimal control parameters which maximize the limit cycle oscillation commencement velocity while minimizing the control cost. Numerical simulations are used to show that the assumed nonlinear state feedback law with the optimal control parameters successfully eliminates any existing subcritical limit cycle oscillations by converting it to supercritical limit cycle oscillations, thereby guaranteeing safe operation of the system in its flight envelope.     

Approximate analytical solution to oscillations of a conductor in a magnetic field

An approximate analytical solution to a system exhibiting oscillations of a conductor in a magnetic field which is controlled by a discrete waveform is sought by means of multiple scales. The system involves the use of a solenoid driven by a RLC circuit, coupled with a solid state relay (SSRL), to generate large electromagnetic forces acting on a conductor, which oscillates within the solenoid. The steady state response of the metal bar, in terms of oscillations is described. This solution is expressed in terms of system and circuit parameters, valid in the weakly nonlinear region, which is identified to be small oscillatory displacement near the center of the solenoid. By analyzing different cases of resonance, period-1 and period-2 like motions are identified and validated through experimental studies. The solution provides a guideline to design an effective control strategy so as to guide the system to a desirable attractor.
