Non-linear output frequency response functions of MDOF systems with multiple non-linear components

In engineering practice, most mechanical and structural systems are modelled as multi-degree-of-freedom (MDOF) systems such as, e.g., the periodic structures. When some components within the systems have non-linear characteristics, the whole system will behave non-linearly. The concept of non-linear output frequency response functions (NOFRFs) was proposed by the authors recently and provides a simple way to investigate non-linear systems in the frequency domain. The present study is concerned with investigating the inherent relationships between the NOFRFs for any two masses of non-linear MDOF systems with multiple non-linear components. The results reveal very important properties of the non-linear systems. These properties clearly indicate how the system linear characteristic parameters govern the propagation of the non-linear effect induced by non-linear components in the system. One potential application of the results is to detect and locate faults in engineering structures which make the structures behave non-linearly.

Detecting the position of non-linear component in periodic structures from the system responses to dual sinusoidal excitations

Based on the non-linear output frequency response functions (NOFRFs), a novel method is developed to detect the position of non-linear components in periodic structures. The detection procedure requires exciting the non-linear systems twice using two sinusoidal inputs separately. The frequencies of the two inputs are different; one frequency is twice as high as the other one. The validity of this method is demonstrated by numerical studies. Since the position of a non-linear component often corresponds to the location of defect in periodic structures, this new method is of great practical significance in fault diagnosis for mechanical and structural systems.     

A numerical model for non-linear dynamic analysis of slender masonry structures

A numerical model is presented to enable performing non-linear dynamic analysis of slender masonry structures and elements, such as towers and columns or masonry walls in out-of-plane flexure. Such structures are represented via a continuous one-dimensional model. The main mechanical characteristics of the material in all sections along the height of such structures are taken into account by means of a non-linear elastic constitutive law formulated in terms of generalized stress and strain, under the assumption that the material has no resistance to tension and limited compressive strength. The relations defined herein for the general case of hollow rectangular cross-sections are also aimed at enabling study of towers, bell-towers and similar slender structures.

On-line identification of non-linear hysteretic structures using an adaptive tracking technique

System identification and damage detection based on vibration data have received considerable attention recently because of their importance to structural health monitoring. Various technical approaches have been proposed in the literature; however, the on-line identification of the changes of parameters for non-linear structures due to damages is still a challenging problem. In this paper, we propose an on-line adaptive tracking technique, based on the least-square estimation, to identify the system parameters and their changes of non-linear hysteretic structures. The method proposed is capable of tracking abrupt or slow changes of the system parameters from which the damage event and the severity of the structural damage can be detected and evaluated. Simulation results for tracking the parametric changes of non-linear hysteretic structures are presented to demonstrate the application and effectiveness of the proposed technique in detecting the structural damages.     

An investigation into the significance of the non-linear terms in the equations of motion for a cantilevered beam

Non-linear beam models can provide accurate and efficient results and are therefore used frequently in the structural dynamic analysis of large-aspect-ratio cantilevered structures. Using a beam model is especially beneficial in aeroelastic applications, which are computationally expensive.This paper investigates the significance of each of the non-linear terms in a third-order non-linear beam model and shows the importance of retaining terms up to the third order. The approach presented in this paper provides an effective method to simplify the non-linear equations of motion by including the most significant non-linear terms. The resulting equations preserve the fidelity of the original equations and are easier to manipulate.     

An analytic solution of transversal oscillation of quintic non-linear beam with homotopy analysis method

non-linear vibration analysis of beam used in steel structures is of particular importance in mechanical and industrial applications. To achieve a proper design of the beam structures, it is essential to realize how the beam vibrates in its transverse mode which in turn yields the natural frequency of the system. Equation of transversal vibration of hinged–hinged flexible beam subjected to constant excitation at its free end is identified as a non-linear differential equation. The quintic non-linear equation of motion is derived based on Hamilton’s principle and solved by means of an analytical technique, namely the Homotopy analysis method. To verify the soundness of the results, a comparison between analytical and numerical solutions is developed. Finally, to express the impact of the quintic nonlinearity, the non-linear responses obtained by HAM are compared with the results from usual beam theory.     

Non-linear vibrations of sandwich viscoelastic shells

This paper deals with the non-linear vibration of sandwich viscoelastic shell structures. Coupling a harmonic balance method with the Galerkin's procedure, one obtains an amplitude equation depending on two complex coefficients. The latter are determined by solving a classical eigenvalue problem and two linear ones. This permits to get the non-linear frequency and the non-linear loss factor as functions of the displacement amplitude. To validate our approach, these relationships are illustrated in the case of a circular sandwich ring.     

The force transmissibility of MDOF structures with a non-linear viscous damping device

In the present study, the concept of the Output Frequency Response Function (OFRF), recently proposed by the authors, is applied to theoretically investigate the force transmissibility of MDOF structures with a cubic non-linear viscous damping device. The results analytically show that the introduction of cubic non-linear damping can significantly reduce the transmissibility over all resonance regions for a Multiple Degree of Freedom (MDOF) structure and at the same time leave the transmissibility over the isolation region virtually unaffected. The analysis also indicates that a strong linear damping may shift the system resonances and compromise the beneficial effects of cubic non-linear viscous damping on the force transmissibility of MDOF structures. This suggests that a less significant linear damping together with a strong cubic non-linear damping can be used in MDOF structures to achieve a desired vibration isolation performance. This research work has a significant implication for the design of viscously damped MDOF structures for a wide range of practical applications.
