Thermoelastic free vibration of clampe circular plate

An analysis was given for the free vibration of clamped circular plate when temperature and stress fields were coupled. A nonlinear differential equation about time was obtained by using Galerkin’s method. The numerical results of vibration amplitude vs time were compared with the uncoupled case. It is found that if the given initial displacement is small, the effect of thermoelastical coupling will make the natural frequency increase; if the given initial displacement is large, it will be the opposite case. Effects of some different vibration factors are also discussed.     

Stability and local bifurcation of parameter-excited vibration of pipes conveying pulsating fluid under thermal loading

The parametric excited vibration of a pipe under thermal loading may occur because the fluid is often transported heatedly. The effects of thermal loading on the pipe stability and local bifurcations have rarely been studied. The stability and the local bifurcations of the lateral parametric resonance of the pipe induced by the pulsating fluid velocity and the thermal loading are studied. A mathematical model for a simply supported pipe is developed according to the Hamilton principle. Two partial differential equations describing the lateral and longitudinal vibration are obtained. The singularity theory is utilized to analyze the stability and the bifurcation of the system solutions. The transition sets and the bifurcation diagrams are obtained both in the unfolding parameter space and the physical parameter space, which can reveal the relationship between the thermal field parameter and the dynamic behaviors of the pipe. The frequency response and the relationship between the critical thermal rate and the pulsating fluid velocity are obtained. The numerical results demonstrate the accuracy of the single-mode expansion of the solution and the stability and local bifurcation analyses. It also confirms the existence of the chaos. The presented work can provide valuable information for the design of the pipeline and the controllers to prevent the structural instability.     

The hybrid control of vibration of thin plate with active constrained damping layer

This paper concerns in the active and passive hybrid control of vibration of the thin plate with Local Active Constrained damping Layer (LACL). The governing equations of system are formulated based on the constitutive equations of elastic, viscoelastic, piezoelectric materials. Galerkin method and GHM method are employed to transform partial differential equations into ordinary ones with a lower dimension. LQR method of classical control theory is used in simulating calculation. Numeral results show that the active and passive hybrid control manner obtained in this paper is a better one for vibration control of the plate.

Self-excited vibration caused by dry friction between two elastic structures

Based on our previous work^[1], self-excited vibration of a multi-degree-of-freedom system caused by dry friction between two elastic structures is investigated using the Chinese cultural relic dragon washbasin as an example. Some new characteristics of the self-excited vibration in this kind of system are found. The conditions under which self-excited vibration occurs at low-order or high-order modes are discussed. Effects of changes in parameters of the system on the self-excited vibration are analyzed. The vibration mechanism of the water droplets spurting phenomenon of the Chinese cultural relic dragon washbasin is further explained.

Chatter mitigation using the nonlinear tuned vibration absorber

A passive vibration absorber, termed the nonlinear tuned vibration absorber (NLTVA), is designed for the suppression of chatter vibrations. Unlike most passive vibration absorbers proposed in the literature for suppressing machine tool vibrations, the NLTVA comprises both a linear and a nonlinear restoring force. Its linear characteristics are tuned in order to optimize the stability properties of the machining operation, while its nonlinear properties are chosen in order to control the bifurcation behavior of the system and guarantee robustness of stable operation. In this study, the NLTVA is applied to turning machining.

Non-linear control of friction-induced self-excited vibration

The present paper introduces a new method of controlling friction-driven self-excited vibration. The control law is primarily derived using the Lyapunov's second method. A single degree-of-freedom oscillator on a moving belt represents the primary model of the system. The control action is achieved by modulating the normal load at the frictional interface based on the state of the oscillatory system. The basic mechanism of the control action utilises subcritical Hopf bifurcation of the equilibrium followed by cyclic-fold bifurcation (of limit cycle oscillations) to globally stabilise the equilibrium. The basic mechanism is qualitatively independent of the exact model of friction. Different models of friction, like, algebraic model, LuGre model and switch model with time-dependent static friction are considered to substantiate the above claim. An approximate method for estimating the critical value of the control parameter that ensures global stability of the equilibrium is also proposed.

Principal resonance in transverse nonlinear parametric vibration of an axially accelerating viscoelastic string

To investigate the principal resonance in transverse nonlinear parametric vibration of an axially accelerating viscoelastic string, the method of multiple scales is applied directly to the nonlinear partial differential equation that governs the transverse vibration of the string. To derive the governing equation, Newton‘s second law, Lagrangean strain, and Kelvin‘s model are respectively used to account the dynamical relation, geometric nonlinearity and the viscoelasticity of the string material. Based on the solvability condition of eliminating the secular terms, closed form solutions are obtained for the amplitude and the existence conditions of nontrivial steady-state response of the principal parametric resonance. The Lyapunov linearized stability theory is employed to analyze the stability of the trivial and nontrivial solutions in the principal parametric resonance. Some numerical examples are presented to show the effects of the mean transport speed, the amplitude and the frequency of speed variation.

Liquefaction and displacement of saturated sand under vertical vibration loading

In order to investigate the influence of the vertical vibration loading on the liquefaction of saturated sand, one dimensional model for the saturated sand with a vertical vibration is presented based on the two phase continuous media theory. The development of the liquefaction and the liquefaction region are analyzed. It is shown that the vertical vibration loading could induce liquefaction. The rate of the liquefaction increases with the increase of the initial limit strain or initial porosity or amplitude and frequency of loading, and increases with the decrease of the permeability or initial modulus. It is shown also that there is a phase lag in the sand column. When the sand permeability distribution is non-uniform, the pore pressure and the strain will rise sharply where the permeability is the smallest, and fracture might be induced. With the development of liquefaction, the strength of the soil foundation becomes smaller and smaller. In the limiting case, landslides or debris flows could occur.

Application of wavelet transform to bifuraation and chaos study

The response of a nonlinear vibration system may be of three types, namely, periodic, quasiperiodic or chaotic, when the parameters of the system are changed. The periodic motions can be identified by Poincare map, and harmonic wavelet transform (HWT) can distinguish quasiperiod from chaos, so the existing domains of different types of motions of the system can be revealed in the parametric space with the method of HWT joining with Poincar'e map.

ROBUST CONTROL OF PERIODIC BIFURCATION SOLUTIONS

The topological bifurcation diagrams and the coefficients of bifurcation equation were obtained by C-L method. According to obtained bifurcation diagrams and combining control theory, the method of robust control of periodic bifurcation was presented, which differs from generic methods of bifurcation control. It can make the existing motion pattern into the goal motion pattern. Because the method does not make strict requirement about parametric values of the controller, it is convenient to design and make it. Numerical simulations verify validity of the method.
