Dynamic instability of truncated conical shells under periodic axial load

Based on the Dynamic version of Donnell type basic equations neglecting bending deformations before instability, the parametric instability of truncated conical shells subjected to periodic axial load is studied under four different boundary conditions. Applying Galerkin's method, the basic equations are reduced to a system of coupled Mathieu equations, from which the instability regions are determined by using Hsu's results. As a numerical example, instability regions for a completely clamped shell are determined for relatively wide range of frequencies. The effects of static axial load as well as damping force on the instability regions are also examined.

Cross-flow-induced instability and nonlinear dynamics of cylinder arrays with consideration of initial axial load

The instability and nonlinear dynamics of planar motions of a cylinder array subjected to cross-flow have been studied via a five-mode discretization of the governing partial differential equation, focusing on the effect of initial axial load externally imposed on the cylinder. Theoretical results based on a stability analysis have indicated that, with increasing initial axial load and flow velocity, the system may lose stability either via flutter or via buckling. The boundaries of these two forms of instability are predicted analytically. To explore the post-instability dynamics of the system, a Runge–Kutta scheme is used to solve the nonlinear governing equation of motion. Three typical behaviors, including limit cycle motions of the system, are obtained. It is shown that, for relatively low flow velocity, with increasing initial axial load, just beyond the pitchfork bifurcation the cylinder would settle in a buckled equilibrium position; and for high flow velocity, however, this phenomenon only occurs when the initial axial load becomes sufficiently large.     

Non-linear oscillations of an inviscid liquid column under zero-gravity

Summary For a frictionless cylindrical liquid bridge of finite length in zero-gravity the non-linear natural frequencies are determined for large free liquid surface amplitudes. The non-linear boundary conditions have been expanded up to terms of third order. It was found that the system exhibits a softening oscillation behavior, indicating that with increasing wave amplitudes the natural frequencies exhibit decreased magnitude as compared to linear theory. In addition higher modes and shorter liquid bridges show increased softening character.

Nichtlineare Schwingungen einer reibungsfreien Flüssigkeitssäule unter Schwerelosigkeit

Übersicht Das nichtlineare Verhalten der Oberflächenschwingungen einer reibungsfreien Flüssigkeitssäule endlicher Länge wurde im schwerelosen Raum untersucht. Die nichtlinearen Randbedingungen wurden in Reihen entwickelt, deren Glieder bis zur dritten Ordnung in der Auswertung berücksichtigt wurden. Dabei wurde die Oberflächenauslenkung als Funktion der Frequenz bestimmt und unterlineares Verhalten gefunden. Mit zunehmender Flüssigkeitsamplitude verringerten sich die Eigenfrequenzen im Vergleich zur linearen Theorie. Höhere Eigenfrequenzen und Säulen kleiner Länge zeigen wesentlich stärkere Unterlinearitäten.

     

横向载荷作用下轴向运动梁的屈曲失稳以及非线性振动特性

梁的轴向运动会诱发其产生横向振动并可能导致屈曲失稳,对结构的安全性和可靠性产生重大的影响。本文重点研究了横向载荷作用下轴向运动梁的屈曲失稳及横向非线性振动特性。基于Hamilton变分原理,建立了横向载荷作用下轴向运动梁的动力学方程,获得了梁的后屈曲构型。使用截断Galerkin法,将控制方程改写成Duffing方程的形式。用同伦分析方法确定载荷作用下轴向运动梁的非线性受迫振动的封闭形式的表达式。结果表明,后屈曲构型对轴向速度和初始轴向应力有明显的依赖性。通过同伦分析法得出非线性基频的显式表达式,获得了初始轴向力会影响非线性频率随初始振幅和轴向速度的线性关系。另外,轴向外激励的方向也会改变系统固有频率。

Seiche oscillations in a rectangular channel with an abrupt expansion of the cross section

The natural frequencies and modes of seiche oscillations in a closed water reservoir consisting of a long narrow channel connected to a wide basin were investigated theoretically and experimentally. Calculations were made using linear shallow-water theory in two-dimensional and one-dimensional formulations. The spectral properties of free-surface oscillations at points lying on the nodal lines of the first four modes of seiche oscillations were studied experimentally. The one-dimensional model adequately predicts lower-mode frequencies, but the data on the positions of the nodal points of seiche oscillations obtained using this model are somewhat different from those obtained experimentally and using the two-dimensional model.     

Parametric instability of a rotating truncated conical shell subjected to periodic axial loads

Parametric instability of a rotating truncated conical shell subjected to periodic axial loads is studied in the paper. Through deriving accurate expressions of inertial force and initial hoop tension, a rotating conical shell model is presented based upon the Love's thin shell theory. Considering the periodic axial loads, equations of motion of the system with periodic stiffness coefficients are obtained utilizing the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method. Hill's method is introduced for parametric instability analysis. Primary instability regions for various natural modes are computed. Effects of rotational speed, constant axial load, cone angle and other geometrical parameters on the location and width of various instability regions are examined.

Dynamic analysis of a simply supported beam resting on a nonlinear elastic foundation under compressive axial load using nonlinear normal modes techniques under three-to-one internal resonance condition

In this paper, the Nonlinear Normal Modes (NNMs) analysis for the case of three-to-one (3:1) internal resonance of a slender simply supported beam in presence of compressive axial load resting on a nonlinear elastic foundation is studied. Using the Euler?CBernoulli beam model, the governing nonlinear PDE of the beam??s transverse vibration and also its associated boundary conditions are extracted. These nonlinear motion equation and boundary condition relations are solved simultaneously using four different approximate-analytical solution techniques, namely the method of Multiple Time Scales, the method of Normal Forms, the method of Shaw and Pierre, and the method of King and Vakakis. The obtained results at this stage using four different methods which are all in time?Cspace domain are compared and it is concluded that all the methods result in a similar answer for the amplitude part of the transverse vibration. At the next step, the nonlinear normal modes are obtained. Furthermore, the effect of axial compressive force in the dynamic analysis of such a beam is studied. Finally, under three-to-one-internal resonance condition the NNMs of the beam and the steady-state stability analysis are performed. Then the effect of changing the values of different parameters on the beam??s dynamic response is also considered. Moreover, 3-D plots of stability analysis in the steady-state condition and the beam??s amplitude frequency response curves are presented.     

Parametric analysis of two-phase flow instability in a channel with inlet and outlet hydraulic resistances

The mechanism of low-frequency self-oscillating instability of a one-dimensional two-phase flow in a channel with inlet and outlet hydraulic resistances is considered. The mechanism is based on the sensitivity of the inlet flow rate of the liquid to the pressure variation inside the channel and the sensitivity of the pressure to the variation of the outlet gas flow rate (with a constant mass rate of the liquid-gas phase transition per unit volume). A spectral analysis of the stability of the steady solution of the boundary-value problem for a hyperbolic-type nonlinear system of equations is performed within the framework of a two-velocity model of a gas-liquid flow. Parametric boundaries of the region of instability are obtained. The existence of self-oscillations in this range of parameters is supported by a numerical solution of the unsteady boundary-value problem.

Effects of an axial flow component on the Honji instability

This paper is concerned with a numerical study of the three-dimensional Honji instability that can arise in an oscillatory flow impinging on a circular cylinder. It is well known that when the fluid motion far from the cylinder is perpendicular to its axis then the flow is liable to a three-dimensional breakdown via this instability which initially appears as an axially periodic mushroom-like structure attached to the surface of the cylinder. Here the focus is on examining the Honji instability under an oblique inflow. The obliqueness of the free stream is represented by an angle of attack through introducing an axial flow component. It is found that the Honji mode is suppressed by increasing the axial flow component, and when this component is sufficiently large the instability mechanism is no longer operative so that all that remains is a featureless two-dimensional columnar flow. At smaller values of angle of attack, though the Honji structure remains, it is deformed by the axial flow component. The developed two-layer near-cylinder vortical structures can be related to the energy and momentum transfer between the two layers.     

Interactive buckling regarding the axial extension mode of a thin-walled channel under uniform compression in the first nonlinear approximation

The present paper deals with an influence of the axial extension mode on interactive buckling of a thin-walled channel with imperfections subjected to uniform compression, when a shear lag phenomenon and distortional deformations are taken into account. A plate model is adopted for the channel. The structure is assumed to be simply supported at the ends. A method of the modal solution to the coupled buckling problem within the first order approximation of Koiter’s asymptotic theory, using the transition matrix method and Godunov’s orthogonalization (Kolakowski and Krolak, 2006), has been used. The calculations have been carried out for a thin-walled channel.
