Bifurcations and chaotic dynamics in suspended cables under simultaneous parametric and external excitations

The bifurcations and chaotic dynamics of parametrically and externally excited suspended cables are investigated in this paper. The equations of motion governing such systems contain quadratic and cubic nonlinearities, which may result in two-to-one and one-to-one internal resonances. The Galerkin procedure is introduced to simplify the governing equations of motion to ordinary differential equations with two-degree-of-freedom. The case of one-to-one internal resonance between the modes of suspended cables, primary resonant excitation, and principal parametric excitation of suspended cables is considered. Using the method of multiple scales, a parametrically and externally excited system is transformed to the averaged equations. A pseudo arclength scheme is used to trace the branches of the equilibrium solutions and an investigation of the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix is used to assess their stability. The equilibrium solutions experience pitchfork, saddle-node, and Hopf bifurcations. A detailed bifurcation analysis of the dynamic (periodic and chaotic) solutions of the averaged equations is presented. Five branches of dynamic solutions are found. Three of these branches that emerge from two Hopf bifurcations and the other two are isolated. The two Hopf bifurcation points, one is supercritical Hopf bifurcation point and another is primary Hopf bifurcation point. The limit cycles undergo symmetry-breaking, cyclic-fold, and period-doubling bifurcations, whereas the chaotic attractors undergo attractor-merging, boundary crises. Simultaneous occurrence of the limit cycle and chaotic attractors, homoclinic orbits, homoclinic explosions and hyperchaos are also observed.     

Stability analysis of a nonlinear rotating asymmetrical shaft near the resonances

An asymmetrical rotating shaft with unequal mass moments of inertia and flexural rigidities in the direction of principal axes is considered. In this system, there are two excitation sources, including a harmonic excitation due to the dynamic imbalances and a parametric excitation due to shaft asymmetry. Nonlinearities are due to the in-extensionality of the shaft and large amplitude. In this study, harmonic and parametric resonances due to the mentioned effects are considered. The influences of inequality of mass moments of inertia and flexural rigidities in the direction of principal axes, inequality between two eccentricities corresponding to the principal axes and external damping on the stability and bifurcation of steady state response of the rotating asymmetrical shaft are investigated. In addition, the characteristic of stable stationary points and loci of bifurcation points as function of damping coefficient are determined. In order to analyze the resonances of the system the multiple scales method is applied to the complex form of partial differential equations of motion. The achieved results show a good agreement with those of numerical computation.     

参外联合激励下的簇发振荡及其机理

当周期激励频率远小于系统固有频率时,会存在快慢耦合效应,与单项激励不同,参外联合激励不仅会导致快子系统平衡曲线和分岔行为的复杂化,也会产生一些特殊的非线性现象,为此,本文以两耦合Hodgkin-Huxley细胞模型为例,引入周期参外联合激励,探讨在频域不同尺度耦合时该系统的簇发振荡的特点及其分岔机制．通过建立相应的快慢子系统,得到慢变参数变化下的快子系统的各种分岔模式以及相应的分岔行为,结合转换相图,揭示耦合系统随激励幅值变化时的动力学行为及其机理．研究表明,在激励幅值较小时,系统表现为概周期振荡,两频率分别近似于快子系统平衡曲线由Hopf分岔引起的两稳定极限环的振荡频率．概周期解随激励幅值的增加进入簇发振荡,导致这些簇发振荡的主要原因是在慢变参数变化的部分区间内,存在唯一稳定的平衡曲线,使得系统的轨迹逐渐趋向该平衡曲线,产生沉寂态,并随着慢变参数的变化,由分岔进入激发态．同时,快子系统中参与簇发振荡的稳定吸引子随激励幅值的变化也会不同,导致不同形式的簇发振荡．另外,与单项激励下的情形不同,联合激励时快子系统的部分稳定吸引子掩埋在其它稳定吸引子内,从而失去对簇发振荡的影响．     

Bifurcation Analyses in the Parametrically Excited Vibrations of Cylindrical Panels

We consider parametrically excited vibrations of shallow cylindrical panels. The governing system of two coupled nonlinear partial differential equations is discretized by using the Bubnov–Galerkin method. The computations are simplified significantly by the application of computer algebra, and as a result low dimensional models of shell vibrations are readily obtained. After applying numerical continuation techniques and ideas from dynamical systems theory, complete bifurcation diagrams are constructed. Our principal aim is to investigate the interaction between different modes of shell vibrations under parametric excitation. Results for system models with four of the lowest modes are reported. We essentially investigate periodic solutions, their stability and bifurcations within the range of excitation frequency that corresponds to the parametric resonances at the lowest mode of vibration.     

Nonlinear interactions in a parametrically excited system with widely spaced frequencies

An investigation is presented into the transfer of energy from high- to low-frequency modes. The method of averaging is used to analyze the response of a two-degree-of-freedom system with widely spaced frequencies and cubic nonlinearities to a principal parametric resonance of the high-frequency mode. The conditions under which energy can be transferred from high- to low-frequency modes, as observed in the experiments, are determined. The interactions between the widely separated modes result in various bifurcations, the coexistence of multiple attractors, and chaotic attractors. The results show that damping may be destabilizing. The analytical results are validated by numerically solving the original system.     

Nonlinear dynamics of a three-beam structure with attached mass and three-mode interactions

Nonlinear dynamics of elastic structures with two-mode interactions have been extensively studied in the literature. In this work, nonlinear forced response of elastic structures with essential inertial nonlinearities undergoing three-mode interactions is studied. More specifically, a three-beam structural system with attached mass is considered, and its multidegree-of-freedom discretized model for the structure undergoing planar motions is carefully studied. Linear modal characteristics of the structure with uniform beams depend on the length ratios of the three beams, the mass of the particle relative to that of the structure, and the location of the mass particle along the beams. The discretized model is studied for both external and parametric resonances for parameter combinations resulting in three-mode interactions. For the external excitation case, focus is on the system with 1:2:3 internal resonances with the external excitation frequency near the middle natural frequency. For the case of the structure with 1:2:5 internal resonances, the problem involving simultaneous principal parametric resonance of the middle mode and a combination resonance between the lowest and the highest modal frequencies is investigated. This case requires a higher-order approximation in the method of multiple time scales. For both cases, equilibrium and bifurcating solutions of the slow-flow equations are studied in detail. Many pitchfork, saddle-node, and Hopf bifurcations appear in the amplitude response of the three-beam structure, thus resulting in complex multimode responses in different parameter regions.     

Milling Bifurcations from Structural Asymmetry and Nonlinear Regeneration

This paper investigates multiple modeling choices for analyzing the rich and complex dynamics of high-speed milling processes. Various models are introduced to capture the effects of asymmetric structural modes and the influence of nonlinear regeneration in a discontinuous cutting force model. Stability is determined from the development of a dynamic map for the resulting variational system. The general case of asymmetric structural elements is investigated with a fixed frame and rotating frame model to show differences in the predicted unstable regions due to parametric excitation. Analytical and numerical investigations are confirmed through a series of experimental cutting tests. The principal results are additional unstable regions, hysteresis in the bifurcation diagrams, and the presence of coexisting periodic and quasiperiodic attractors which is confirmed through experimentation.     

Dynamic behaviour of a thin laminated plate embedded with auxetic layers subject to in-plane excitation

The dynamic modelling of a simply-supported thin laminated plate subject to in-plane excitation is established based on the classic shear theory and von Kármán nonlinear theory. The method of multiple scales is used to determine an approximate solution for the system. According to solvability conditions, the nonlinear modulation equations arising from the principal parametric resonances are obtained and two possible nontrivial solutions are performed. To analyze the nonlinear dynamic response of the plate embedded with auxetic layers, 5-layered sandwich plate, in which two auxetic elastic layers are alternatively sandwiched between three positive Poisson’s ratio (PPR) elastic ones, is presented. The natural frequency of model (m, n) shows an increase with respect to the absolute value of Poisson’s ratio. Particularly, the amplitude-frequency responses of the laminated plate subject to principal parametric resonance are analyzed for different values of Poisson’s ratio. Moreover, it can be found that for model (m, n), there must be some certain value or interval of negative Poisson’s ratio (NPR), which, results in zero response effect, in other words, the in-plane excitation will be ineffective for this model when the Poisson’s ratio just lies at such a value or interval. Furthermore, it can also be observed that the certain interval of Poisson’s ratio becomes wider with the increase of damping.     

Dynamic analysis of piezoelectric energy harvester under combination parametric and internal resonance: a theoretical and experimental study

In this work, theoretical and experimental analysis of a piezoelectric energy harvester with parametric base excitation is presented under combination parametric resonance condition. The harvester consists of a cantilever beam with a piezoelectric patch and an attached mass, which is positioned in such a way that the system exhibits 1:3 internal resonance. The generalized Galerkin’s method up to two modes is used to obtain the temporal form of the nonlinear electromechanical governing equation of motion. The method of multiple scales is used to reduce the equations of motion into a set of first-order differential equations. The fixed-point response and the stability of the system under combination parametric resonance are studied. The multi-branched non-trivial response exhibits bifurcations such as turning point and Hopf bifurcations. Experiments are performed under various resonance conditions. This study on the parametric excitation along with combination and internal resonances will help to harvest energy for a wider frequency range from ambient vibrations.

Stochastic stability of parametrically excited random systems

Multidegree-of-freedom dynamic systems subjected to parametric excitation are analyzed for stochastic stability. The variation of excitation intensity with time is described by the sum of a harmonic function and a stationary random process. The stability boundaries are determined by the stochastic averaging method. The effect of random parametric excitation on the stability of trivial solutions of systems of differential equations for the moments of phase variables is studied. It is assumed that the frequency of harmonic component falls within the region of combination resonances. Stability conditions for the first and second moments are obtained. It turns out that additional parametric excitation may have a stabilizing or destabilizing effect, depending on the values of certain parameters of random excitation. As an example, the stability of a beam in plane bending is analyzed.Published in Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 40, No. 10, pp. 135–144, October 2004.     

Parametric resonances in a base-excited double pendulum

Two parametrically-induced phenomena are addressed in the context of a double pendulum subject to a vertical base excitation. First, the parametric resonances that cause the stable downward vertical equilibrium to bifurcate into large-amplitude periodic solutions are investigated extensively. Then the stabilization of the unstable upward equilibrium states through the parametric action of the high-frequency base motion is documented in the experiments and in the simulations. It is shown that there is a region in the plane of the excitation frequency and amplitude where all four unstable equilibrium states can be stabilized simultaneously in the double pendulum. The parametric resonances of the two modes of the base-excited double pendulum are studied both theoretically and experimentally. The transition curves (i.e., boundaries of the dynamic instability regions) are constructed asymptotically via the method of multiple scales including higher-order effects. The bifurcations characterizing the transitions from the trivial equilibrium to the periodic solutions are computed by either continuation methods and or by time integration and compared with the theoretical and experimental results.     

Bifurcation, response scenarios and dynamic integrity in a single-mode model of noncontact atomic force microscopy

The nonlinear dynamical behavior of a single-mode model of noncontact AFM is analyzed in terms of attractors robustness and basins integrity. The model considered for the analyses, proposed in (Hornstein and Gottlieb in Nonlinear Dyn. 54:93–122, 2008), consistently includes the nonlinear atomic interaction and is studied under scan excitation (which appears as parametric excitation) and vertical excitation (which is prevalently external). Local bifurcation analyses are carried out to identify the overall stability boundary in the excitation parameter space as the envelope of system local escapes, to be compared with the one obtained via numerical simulations. The dynamical integrity of periodic bounded solutions is studied, and basin erosion is evaluated by means of two different integrity measures. The obtained erosion profiles allow us to dwell on the possible lack of homogeneous safety of the stability boundary in terms of robustness of the attractors, and to identify practical escape thresholds ensuring an a priori design safety target.     

Experimental and theoretical investigation of superharmonic resonances in a planar oscillator under angular base excitation

This paper explores the complicated dynamic behavior of a mechanical oscillator under harmonic angular excitation. The motivation behind this work comes from the nature of the actuation produced by high-performance dither motors. A lumped-mass model, which captures the primary and the 1 : 2 superharmonic resonances observed on an analogous experimental test setup, is put forward. The equations of motion governing the dynamics of the model are derived and are found to comprise both parametric and direct forcing terms. The governing equations are solved analytically using the generalized harmonic balance method and numerical integration. The method of multiple scales is utilized to obtain closed-form expressions that relate the system parameters to the oscillation amplitudes in the vicinity of the direct and the 1 : 2 superharmonic resonances. It is found that eccentricity plays a vital role in the occurrence of the resonances. Besides, the relationship between the excitation amplitudes and the resulting oscillations for the direct and the superharmonic resonances are dissimilar. A few salient differences between classical (rectilinear) and angular base excitation mechanisms are pointed out.

Multi-mode parametric excitation of a simply supported plate under time-varying and non-uniform edge loading

In this study, multi-mode parametric excitation of a simply supported plate under time-varying and non-uniform edge loading is modeled and the solution is found. Equations for multi-mode parametric excitation of a simply supported plate are derived using stress distributions within the plate as well as on the edges, considering both the effects of non-uniform edge loading and the non-linearity caused by the large deflection. The multi-mode equations are coupled by first-order linear terms, even in the case of simply supported boundary conditions, due to the non-uniform edge loading. The perturbation solutions of two-mode parametric excitation are examined by the method of multiple scales. For the edge loading, which consists of a uniform term as well as a non-uniform one, equations could be coupled or de-coupled by parametric excitation terms, and the numbers and values of the resonance frequencies of the parametric excitations could also differ, depending on whether the non-uniform term of the edge loading is time-varying or not. In addition to the resonant frequencies of the case when only the uniform term of the edge loading is time-varying, there are additional combination resonances at the vicinity of the sum of two natural frequencies of each mode when the non-uniform term of the non-uniform edge loading is time-varying.     

Parametric resonance of axially moving Timoshenko beams with time-dependent speed

In this paper, parametric resonance of axially moving beams with time-dependent speed is analyzed, based on the Timoshenko model. The Hamilton principle is employed to obtain the governing equation, which is a nonlinear partial-differential equation due to the geometric nonlinearity caused by the finite stretch of the beam. The method of multiple scales is applied to predict the steady-state response. The expression of the amplitude of the steady-state response is derived from the solvability condition of eliminating secular terms. The stability of straight equilibrium and nontrivial steady-state response are analyzed by using the Lyapunov linearized stability theory. Some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effects of speed pulsation and the nonlinearity in the first two principal parametric resonances.     

Nonlinear response of a parametrically excited buckled beam

A nonlinear analysis of the response of a simply-supported buckled beam to a harmonic axial load is presented. The method of multiple scales is used to determine to second order the amplitude- and phase-modulation equations. Floquet theory is used to analyze the stability of periodic responses. The perturbation results are verified by integrating the governing equation using both digital and analog computers. For small excitation amplitudes, the analytical results are in good agreement with the numerical solutions. The large-amplitude responses are investigated by using a digital computer and are compared with those obtained via an analog-computer simulation. The complicated dynamic behaviors that were found include period-multiplying and period-demultiplying bifurcations, period-three and period-six motions, jump phenomena, and chaos. In some cases, multiple periodic attractors coexist, and a chaotic attractor coexists with a periodic attractor. Phase portraits, spectra of the responses, and a bifurcation set of the many solutions are presented.

An experimental study of the parametric excitation of a tensioned sheet with a cracklike opening

The problem of the parametric excitation of a thins tensioned sheet with a cracklike opening is discussed Data obtained from an experimental investigation are presented and they indicated that both principal and secondary regions of instability are developed. Plts of the stability boundaries are presented in terms of excitation frequency, mean tensile load and alternating load. The principal region is observed to be significantly larger than the secondary region and the amplitudes of the oscillations associated with the principal region are also much larger than those of the secondary region. Oscillation amplitudes of the order of twelve times the thickness are reported and amplitude vs. excitation-frequency data are shown to exhibit an overhang behavior in the direciton of increasing frequency. This indicates the presence of a nonlinear stiff effect which is attributed to middle-surface stretching due to bending. Although damping and membrane effects were found to prevent the development of unbounded oscillations, it is noted that the large deflections associated with the principal region of instability could be expected to have a deterious effect on both crack nucleation and crack propagation.
