Motion types and chaos of multi-body systems vibrating with impacts

In this paper, the limit sets theory for an autonomous dynamical system is generalized to a multi-body system vibrating with impacts. We discover that if every motion of the system is bounded, it has only four different types: periodic motion γ1, non·periodic recurrent motion γ2, and non-Poisson stable motions γ3 and γ4 approaching γ1 and γ2, respectively. γ2 is the source of chaos. It is very interesting that chaotic motions seem stochastic but possess the character of recurrence. By way of example, we discuss chaotic motions of a small ball bouncing vertically on a massive vibrating table. The result obtained by us is different from that obtained by Holmes.

Fly-wheel model exhibits the hither and thither motion of a bouncing ball

The to and fro motion of a bouncing ball on a flat surface is represented by a low-dimensional model. To describe the repeated reversals of the horizontal velocity of the ball, the elasticity of the ball has to be taken into account. We show that a simple fly-wheel model exhibits the observed hither and thither motion of elastic balls. The suggested model is capable of describing oblique impacts of spherical bodies, which can be important in many applications, including dynamical simulation of granular materials. We find that the behaviour of the bouncing fly-wheel is sensitive to the initial conditions, and the escape time plots are used to illustrate this observation.

A pseudo-stable structure in a completely invertible bouncer system

It is shown that a pseudo-stable structure of non-asymptotic convergence may exist in a completely invertible bouncing ball model. Visualization of the pattern of H-ranks helps to identify this structure. It appears that this structure is similar to the stable manifold of non-invertible nonlinear maps which govern the non-asymptotic convergence to unstable periodic orbits. But this convergence to the unstable repeller of the bouncing ball problem is only temporary since non-asymptotic convergence cannot exist in completely invertible maps. This nonlinear effect is exploited for temporary stabilization of unstable periodic orbits in completely reversible nonlinear maps.     

Analytical period-3 motions to chaos in a hardening Duffing oscillator

In this paper, bifurcation trees of period-3 motions to chaos in the periodically forced, hardening Duffing oscillator are investigated analytically. Analytical solutions for period-3 and period-6 motions are used for the bifurcation trees of period-3 motions to chaos. Such bifurcation trees are based on the Hopf bifurcations of asymmetric period-3 motions. In addition, an independent symmetric period-3 motion without imbedding in chaos is discovered, and such a symmetric period-3 motion possesses saddle-node bifurcations only. The switching of symmetric to asymmetric period-3 motions is completed through saddle-node bifurcations, and the onset of asymmetric period-6 motions occurs at the Hopf bifurcations of asymmetric period-3 motions. Continuously, the onset of period-12 motions is at the Hopf bifurcation of asymmetric period-6 motions. With such bifurcation trees, the chaotic motions relative to asymmetric period-3 motions can be determined analytically. This investigation provides a systematic way to study analytical dynamics of chaos relative to period-m motions in nonlinear dynamical systems.     

Nonlinear reduced-order model for vertical sloshing by employing neural networks

The aim of this work is to provide a reduced-order model to describe the dissipative behavior of nonlinear vertical sloshing involving Rayleigh–Taylor instability by means of a feed forward neural network. A 1-degree-of-freedom system is taken into account as representative of fluid–structure interaction problem. Sloshing has been replaced by an equivalent mechanical model, namely a boxed-in bouncing ball with parameters suitably tuned with performed experiments. A large data set, consisting of a long simulation of the bouncing ball model with pseudo-periodic motion of the boundary condition spanning different values of oscillation amplitude and frequency, is used to train the neural network. The obtained neural network model has been included in a Simulink®  environment for closed-loop fluid–structure interaction simulations showing promising performances for perspective integration in complex structural system.

     

Periodic and Chaotic Motions of a Rotor-Active Magnetic Bearing with Quadratic and Cubic Terms and Time-Varying Stiffness

In this paper, we use the asymptotic perturbation method to investigate nonlinear oscillations and chaotic dynamics in a rotor-active magnetic bearings (AMB) system with 8-pole legs and the time-varying stiffness. The stiffness in the AMB is considered as the time varying in a periodic form. Because of considering the weight of the rotor, the formulation on the electromagnetic force resultants includes the quadratic and cubic nonlinearities. The resulting dimensionless equations of motion for the rotor-AMB system with the time-varying stiffness in the horizontal and vertical directions are a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities and parametric excitation. The asymptotic perturbation method is used to obtain the averaged equations in the case of primary parametric resonance and 1/2 subharmonic resonance. It is found that there exist period-3, period-4, period-6, period-7, period-8, quasiperiodic and chaotic modulated amplitude oscillations in the rotor-AMB system with the time-varying stiffness. It is seen from the numerical results that there are the phenomena of the multiple solutions and the soft-spring type and the hardening-spring type in nonlinear frequency-response curves for the rotor-AMB system. The parametric excitation, or the time-varying stiffness produced by the PD controller is considered to be a controlling force which can control the chaotic response in the rotor-AMB system to a period n motion.     

Subharmonic resonance of a symmetric ball bearing–rotor system

The performance of a ball bearing–rotor system is often limited by the occurrence of subharmonic resonance with considerable vibration and noise. In order to comprehend the inherent mechanism and the feature of the subharmonic resonance, a symmetrical rotor system supported by ball bearings is studied with numerical analysis and experiment in this paper. A 6DOF rotordynamic model which includes the non-linearity of ball bearings, Hertzian contact forces and bearing internal clearance, and the bending vibration of rotor is presented and an experimental rig is offered for the research of the subharmonic resonance of the ball bearing–rotor system. The dynamic response is investigated with the aid of orbit and amplitude spectrum, and the non-linear system stability is analyzed using the Floquet theory. All of the predicted results coincide well with the experimental data to validate the proposed model. Numerical and experimental results show that the resonance frequency is provoked when the speed is in the vicinity of twice synchroresonance frequency, while the rotor system loses stability through a period-doubling bifurcation and a period-2 motion i.e. subharmonic resonance occurs. It is found that the occurrence of subharmonic resonance is due to the together influence of the non-linear factors, Hertzian contact forces and internal clearance of ball bearings. The effect of unbalance load on subharmonic resonance of the rotor system is minor, which is different from that of the sliding bearing–rotor system. However, the moment of couple has an impact influence on the subharmonic resonances of the ball bearing–rotor system. The numerical and experimental results indicate that the subharmonic resonance caused by ball bearings is a noticeable issue in the optimum design and failure diagnosis of a high-speed rotary machinery.     

Magneto-elastic combination resonances analysis of current-conducting thin plate

Based on the Maxwell equations, the nonlinear magneto-elastic vibration equations of a thin plate and the electrodynamic equations and expressions of electro- magnetic forces are derived. In addition, the magneto-elastic combination resonances and stabilities of the thin beam-plate subjected to mechanical loadings in a constant transverse magnetic filed are studied. Using the Galerkin method, the corresponding nonlinear vibration differential equations are derived. The amplitude frequency response equation of the system in steady motion is obtained with the multiple scales method. The excitation condition of combination resonances is analyzed. Based on the Lyapunov stability theory, stabilities of steady solutions are analyzed, and critical conditions of stability are also obtained. By numerical calculation, curves of resonance-amplitudes changes with detuning parameters, excitation amplitudes and magnetic intensity in the first and the second order modality are obtained. Time history response plots, phase charts, the Poincare mapping charts and spectrum plots of vibrations are obtained. The effect of electro-magnetic and mechanical parameters for the stabilities of solutions and the bifurcation are further analyzed. Some complex dynamic performances such as period- doubling motion and quasi-period motion are discussed.     

The bouncing motion appearing in a robotic system with unilateral constraint

The hopping or bouncing motion can be observed when robotic manipulators are sliding on a rough surface. Making clear the reason of generating such phenomenon is important for the control and dynamical analysis for mechanical systems. In particular, such phenomenon may be related to the problem of Painlevé paradox. By using LCP theory, a general criterion for identifying the bouncing motion appearing in a planar multibody system subject to single unilateral constraint is established, and found its application to a two-link robotic manipulator that comes in contact with a rough constantly moving belt. The admissible set in state space that can assure the manipulator keeping contact with the rough surface is investigated, and found which is influenced by the value of the friction coefficient and the configuration of the system. Painlevé paradox can cause either multiple solutions or non-existence of solutions in calculating contact force. Developing some methods to fill in the flaw is also important for perfecting the theory of rigid-body dynamics. The properties of the tangential impact relating to the inconsistent case of Painlevé paradox have been discovered in this paper, and a jump rule for determining the post-states after the tangential impact finishes is developed. Finally, the comprehensively numerical simulation for the two-link robotic manipulator is carried out, and its dynamical behaviors such as stick-slip, the bouncing motion due to the tangential impact at contact point or the external forces, are exhibited.     

Vibrational self-alignment of a rigid object exploiting friction

In this paper, one-dimensional self-alignment of a rigid object via stick-slip vibrations is studied. The object is situated on a table, which has a prescribed periodic motion. Friction is exploited as the mechanism to move the object in a desired direction and to stop and self-align the mass at a desired end position with the smallest possible positioning error. In the modeling and analysis of the system, theory of discontinuous dynamical systems is used. Analytic solutions can be derived for a model based on Coulomb friction and an intuitively chosen table acceleration profile, which allows for a classification of different possible types of motion. Local stability and convergence is proven for the solutions of the system, if a constant Coulomb friction coefficient is used. Next, near the desired end position, the Coulomb friction coefficient is increased (e.g. by changing the roughness of the table surface) in order to stop the object. In the transition region from low friction to high friction coefficient, it is shown that, under certain conditions, accumulation of the object to a unique end position occurs. This behavior can be studied analytically and a mapping is given for subsequent stick positions.     

Dynamics of impacts with a table moving with piecewise constant velocity

Dynamics of a ball moving in gravitational field and colliding with a moving table is considered. The motion of the limiter is assumed as periodic with piecewise constant velocity. It is assumed that the table moves up with a constant velocity and then goes down with another constant velocity. The Poincaré map describing evolution from an impact to the next impact is derived. Several classes of solutions are computed in analytical form.     

Large Motions of a Moored Floating Breakwater Modeled as an Impact Oscillator

Two-dimensional motions of a floating breakwater moored to thesea floor by two cables are considered. The breakwater is modeled bothas a point mass and as a rigid body. The mooring lines are assumed tohave no effect on the breakwater when they are slack, and to provide aninstantaneous impulsive force when they become taut, analogous to animpact oscillator or a ball bouncing on a rigid surface. The axialcomponent of the velocity is reduced at this instantaneous tautcondition. Fluid inertia and damping are not included, and the waveforces are assumed to be harmonic. A critical force is defined, and theeffects of the forcing frequency, the coefficient of restitution, andthe shape and size of the body on the critical force are examined.Trajectories of the motion are plotted and the impact velocities arecomputed and analyzed. Knowledge of the number and magnitude of theseimpacts is useful in assessing fatigue of the mooring lines.

Stability in a case of motion of a paraboloid over a plane

We solve a nonlinear orbital stability problem for a periodic motion of a homogeneous paraboloid of revolution over an immovable horizontal plane in a homogeneous gravity field. The plane is assumed to be absolutely smooth, and the body–plane collisions are assumed to be absolutely elastic. In the unperturbed motion, the symmetry axis of the body is vertical, and the body itself is in translational motion with periodic collisions with the plane.The Poincare´ section surfacemethod is used to reduce the problemto studying the stability of a fixed point of an area-preserving mapping of the plane into itself. The stability and instability conditions are obtained for all admissible values of the problem parameters.     

A model reference robust multiple-surfaces design for tracking control of radial pneumatic motion systems

A robust model reference backstepping (multiple-surfaces) controller is proposed for radial pneumatic motor motion systems with variable inlet pressure and mismatched uncertainties (time-varying payload). A radial pneumatic motor is first modeled by a non-autonomous equation with consideration of a ball screw table. A practical integral action and robust action are included in the backstepping design to compensate for the disturbance, mismatched uncertainty, and to eliminate the steady state error. The motion system is proved to have asymptotically stable performance and the experimental results show that the proposed controller is able to track the reference model output signal and maintain steady-state error.
