Nonlinear forced vibrations of thin structures with tuned eigenfrequencies: the cases of 1:2:4 and 1:2:2 internal resonances

This paper is devoted to the analysis of nonlinear forced vibrations of two particular three degrees-of-freedom (dofs) systems exhibiting second-order internal resonances resulting from a harmonic tuning of their natural frequencies. The first model considers three modes with eigenfrequencies ω ₁, ω ₂, and ω ₃ such that ω ₃?2ω ₂?4ω ₁, thus displaying a 1:2:4 internal resonance. The second system exhibits a 1:2:2 internal resonance, so that the frequency relationship reads ω ₃?ω ₂?2ω ₁. Multiple scales method is used to solve analytically the forced oscillations for the two models excited on each degree of freedom at primary resonance. A thorough analytical study is proposed, with a particular emphasis on the stability of the solutions. Parametric investigations allow to get a complete picture of the dynamics of the two systems. Results are systematically compared to the classical 1:2 resonance, in order to understand how the presence of a third oscillator modifies the nonlinear dynamics and favors the presence of unstable periodic orbits.     

Analytical network-averaging of the tube model:: Rubber elasticity

In this paper, a micromechanical model for rubber elasticity is proposed on the basis of analytical network-averaging of the tube model and by applying a closed-form of the Rayleigh exact distribution function for non-Gaussian chains. This closed-form is derived by considering the polymer chain as a coarse-grained model on the basis of the quantum mechanical solution for finitely extensible dumbbells (Ilg et al., 2000). The proposed model includes very few physically motivated material constants and demonstrates good agreement with experimental data on biaxial tension as well as simple shear tests.

Free-surface flow over curved surfaces: Part I: Perturbation analysis

The standard two-dimensional shallow water equation formulation assumes a mild bed slope and no curvature effect. These assumptions limit the applicability of these equations for some important classes of problems. In particular, flow over a spillway is affected by the bed curvature via a decidedly non-hydrostatic pressure distribution. A detailed derivation of a more general equation set is given here in Part I. The method relies upon a perturbation expansion to simplify a bed-fitted co-ordinate configuration of the three-dimensional Euler equations. The resulting equations are essentially the equivalent of the two-dimensional shallow water equations but with curvature included and without the mild slope assumption. A finite element analysis and flume result are given in Part II. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Steady spinning of the oldroyd fluid B: I: Theory

Equations are derived for the isothermal, low-speed fiber spinning of the Oldroyd fluid B. These equations involve three dimensionless groups whose numerical values are restricted to narrow ranges by the boundary conditions that have to be imposed. Asymptotic results are obtained for limiting values of these groups by means of a perturbation analysis. Also, numerical solutions are presented both in terms of velocity profiles and the admissible values of the three dimensionless groups for different fiber draw ratios. These results are discussed in the context of their application to Boger fluids and are also contrasted with the predictions of the Maxwell fluid model. It is found that under appropriate conditions the predictions of the Oldroyd model B can be quite different from those of the upper convected Maxwell model. In particular, the fluid behaves in a Newtonian manner for both very low and very high Deborah number situations.     

Non-linear vibrations of free-edge thin spherical shells: Experiments on a 1:1:2 internal resonance

This study is devoted to the experimental validation of a theoretical model of large amplitude vibrations of thin spherical shells described in a previous study by the same authors. A modal analysis of the structure is first detailed. Then, a specific mode coupling due to a 1:1:2 internal resonance between an axisymmetric mode and two companion asymmetric modes is especially addressed. The structure is forced with a simple-harmonic signal of frequency close to the natural frequency of the axisymmetric mode. The experimental setup, which allows precise measurements of the vibration amplitudes of the three involved modes, is presented. Experimental frequency response curves showing the amplitude of the modes as functions of the driving frequency are compared to the theoretical ones. A good qualitative agreement is obtained with the predictions given by in the model. Some quantitative discrepancies are observed and discussed, and improvements of the model are proposed.

Statistical models of brittle deformation: Part II: computer simulations

The second part of this study grew from the extensive work needed to identify the patterns and dominant aspects of the quasi-brittle response of solids subjected to high strain rates. The study also addresses the limits within the effective parameters and average fields of deterministic continuum models are representative measures of the thermodynamic state during a non-equilibrium, non-local and irreversible deformation.     

Non-linear vibrations of free-edge thin spherical shells: modal interaction rules and 1:1:2 internal resonance

This paper is devoted to the derivation and the analysis of vibrations of shallow spherical shell subjected to large amplitude transverse displacement. The analog for thin shallow shells of von Kármán’s theory for large deflection of plates is used. The validity range of the approximations is assessed by comparing the analytical modal analysis with a numerical solution. The specific case of a free edge is considered. The governing partial differential equations are expanded onto the natural modes of vibration of the shell. The problem is replaced by an infinite set of coupled second-order differential equations with quadratic and cubic non-linear terms. Analytical expressions of the non-linear coefficients are derived and a number of them are found to vanish, as a consequence of the symmetry of revolution of the structure. Then, for all the possible internal resonances, a number of rules are deduced, thus predicting the activation of the energy exchanges between the involved modes. Finally, a specific mode coupling due to a 1:1:2 internal resonance between two companion modes and an axisymmetric mode is studied.     

2:2:1 Resonance in the Quasiperiodic Mathieu Equation

In this work, we investigate regions of stability in the vicinity of 2:2:1 resonance in the quasiperiodic Mathieu equation $$\frac{{d^2 x}}{{dt^2 }} + \left( {\delta + \varepsilon \cos t + \varepsilon \mu \cos \left( {1 + \varepsilon \Delta } \right)t} \right)x = 0,$$ using two successive perturbation methods. The parameters ∈ andμ are assumed to be small. The parameter ∈ serves forderiving the corresponding slow flow differential system and μserves to implement a second perturbation analysis on the slow flowsystem near its proper resonance. This strategy allows us to obtainanalytical expressions for the transition curves in the resonantquasiperiodic Mathieu equation. We compare the analytical results withthose of direct numerical integration. This work has application toparametrically excited systems in which there are two periodicdrivers, each with frequency close to twice the frequency of theunforced system.
