NON-LINEAR FORCED VIBRATION OF AXIALLY MOVING VISCOELASTIC BEAMS

The non-linear forced vibration of axially moving viscoelastic beams excited bythe vibration of the supporting foundation is investigated. A non-linear partial-differential equa-tion governing the transverse motion is derived from the dynamical, constitutive equations andgeometrical relations. By referring to the quasi-static stretch assumption, the partial-differentialnon-linearity is reduced to an integro-partial-differential one. The method of multiple scales isdirectly applied to the governing equations with the two types of non-linearity, respectively. Theamplitude of near- and exact-resonant, steady state is analyzed by use of the solvability conditionof eliminating secular terms. Numerical results are presented to show the contributions of foun-dation vibration amplitude, viscoelastic damping, and nonlinearity to the response amplitude forthe first and the second mode.

ON GALERKIN DISCRETIZATION OF AXIALLY MOVING NONLINEAR STRINGS

A computational technique is proposed for the Galerkin discretization of axially moving strings with geometric nonlinearity. The Galerkin discretization is based on the eigenfunctions of stationary strings. The discretized equations are simplified by regrouping nonlinear terms to reduce the computation work. The scheme can be easily implemented in the practical programming. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the technique. The results also highlight the feature of Galerkin＇s discretization of gyroscopic continua that the term number in Galerkin＇s discretization should be even. The technique is generalized from elastic strings to viscoelastic strings.

THE APPLICATION OF A FINITE DIFFERENCE/FINITE VOLUME ALGORITHM TO SOLVE MAXWELL'S EQUATIONS IN THE TIME DOMAIN

Abstract

A finite volume/finite difference method based on Ni's multigrid formulation is introduced for the solution of Maxwell's equations. The scheme is presented for the cases of transverse magnetic scattering from two-dimensional circular and square cylinders, as well as from NACA 0012 airfoil. The codes are validated against the traditional Method of Moments, which is analogous to a panel method in CFD. The circular cylinder scattering is compared to the analytical series solution for better understanding how the roles of numerical dispersion and dissipation errors affect the solution. The reflecting boundary conditions are modeled by the idea of inducing fields inside the conductor and a method of modeling the singularities that arise at a sharp corner is presented. Absorbing boundary conditions are modeled by integrating along the characteristic compatibility equations in the direction of the outgoing wave.
