Nonlinear theory of forced surface waves in a circular basin

A nonlinear theory is developed to study surface waves excited by the prescribed horizontal oscillation of the side wall of a circular basin. It is assumed that the frequency of the forced oscillation is near either one of the resonance frequencies of the water in the basin or twice of it. A multiple-scale asymptotic expansion is constructed to derive an equation for the amplitude of an excited eigenmode and critical points of some parameters are found for primary and subharmonic resonance waves. Across these critical points the eigenmode amplitude increases abruptly but remains bounded except at certain values of the water radius to the depth ratio where internal resonance appears.     

Subharmonic resonance of a clamped-clamped buckled beam with 1:1 internal resonance under base harmonic excitations

The subharmonic resonance and bifurcations of a clamped-clamped buckled beam under base harmonic excitations are investigated. The nonlinear partial integrodifferential equation of the motion of the buckled beam with both quadratic and cubic nonlinearities is given by using Hamilton's principle. A set of second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations are obtained by spatial discretization with the Galerkin method. A high-dimensional model of the buckled beam is derived, concerning nonlinear coupling. The incremental harmonic balance (IHB) method is used to achieve the periodic solutions of the high-dimensional model of the buckled beam to observe the nonlinear frequency response curve and the nonlinear amplitude response curve, and the Floquet theory is used to analyze the stability of the periodic solutions. Attention is focused on the subharmonic resonance caused by the internal resonance as the excitation frequency near twice of the first natural frequency of the buckled beam with/without the antisymmetric modes being excited. Bifurcations including the saddle-node, Hopf, perioddoubling, and symmetry-breaking bifurcations are observed. Furthermore, quasi-periodic motion is observed by using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method, which results from the Hopf bifurcation of the response of the buckled beam with the anti-symmetric modes being excited.

Global Bifurcations and Chaotic Dynamics in Nonlinear Nonplanar Oscillations of a Parametrically Excited Cantilever Beam

This paper presents the analysis of the global bifurcations and chaotic dynamics for the nonlinear nonplanar oscillations of a cantilever beam subjected to a harmonic axial excitation and transverse excitations at the free end. The governing nonlinear equations of nonplanar motion with parametric and external excitations are obtained. The Galerkin procedure is applied to the partial differential governing equation to obtain a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system with parametric and forcing excitations. The resonant case considered here is 2:1 internal resonance, principal parametric resonance-1/2 subharmonic resonance for the in-plane mode and fundamental parametric resonance–primary resonance for the out-of-plane mode. The parametrically and externally excited system is transformed to the averaged equations by using the method of multiple scales. From the averaged equation obtained here, the theory of normal form is applied to find the explicit formulas of normal forms associated with a double zero and a pair of pure imaginary eigenvalues. Based on the normal form obtained above, a global perturbation method is utilized to analyze the global bifurcations and chaotic dynamics in the nonlinear nonplanar oscillations of the cantilever beam. The global bifurcation analysis indicates that there exist the heteroclinic bifurcations and the Silnikov type single-pulse homoclinic orbit in the averaged equation for the nonlinear nonplanar oscillations of the cantilever beam. These results show that the chaotic motions can occur in the nonlinear nonplanar oscillations of the cantilever beam. Numerical simulations verify the analytical predictions.     

Nonlinear vibrations of a circular cylindrical shell with multiple internal resonances under multi-harmonic excitation

The nonlinear response of a water-filled, thin circular cylindrical shell, simply supported at the edges, to multi-harmonic excitation is studied. The shell has opportune dimensions so that the natural frequencies of the two modes (driven and companion) with three circumferential waves are practically double than the natural frequencies of the two modes (driven and companion) with two circumferential waves. This introduces a one-to-one-to-two-to-two internal resonance in the presence of harmonic excitation in the spectral neighbourhood of the natural frequency of the mode with two circumferential waves. Since the system is excited by a multi-harmonic point-load excitation composed by first and second harmonics, very complex nonlinear dynamics is obtained around the resonance of the fundamental mode. In fact, at this frequency, both modes with two and three circumferential waves are driven to resonance and each one is in a one-to-one internal resonance with its companion mode. The nonlinear dynamics is explored by using bifurcation diagrams of Poincaré maps and time responses.     

Combination Internal Resonances in Heated Annular Plates

Nonlinear modal interactions in the forced vibrations of a thermally loaded pre-buckled annular plate with clamped–clamped immovable boundary conditions are investigated. The mechanism responsible for the interaction is a combination internal resonance involving the natural frequencies of the three lowest axisymmetric modes. The in-plane thermal load acting on the plate is assumed to be axisymmetric and the plate is externally excited by a harmonic force. The nonlinear von Kármán plate equations along with the heat conduction equation are combined to model the behavior of the system. An analytical/numerical approach is used to examine the plate vibrations to a harmonic excitation near primary resonance of one of the modes.     

Noise-Induced Chaos in Duffing Oscillator with Double Wells

Stochastic Melnikov method is employed to predict noise-induced chaotic response in the Duffing oscillator with double wells. The safe basin is simulated to show the noise-induced fractal boundary. Three cases are considered: harmonic excitation, both harmonic and Gaussian white noise excitations, and Gaussian white noise excitation. The leading Lyapunov exponent estimated by Rosenstein's algorithm is shown to quantify the chaotic nature of the sample time series of the system. The results show that the boundary of the safe basin can be fractal even if the system is excited only by external Gaussian white noise.

Global bifurcations and multi-pulse orbits of a parametric excited system with autoparametric resonance

We consider an autoparametric system which consists of an oscillator coupled with a parametrically excited subsystem. The oscillator and the subsystem are in one-to-one internal resonance. The excited subsystem is in principal parametric resonance. The system contains the most general type of quadratic and cubic non-linearities. The method of second-order averaging is used to yield a set of autonomous equations of the second-order approximations to the parametric excited system with autoparametric resonance. The Shilnikov-type multi-pulse orbits and chaotic dynamics of the averaged equations are studied in detail. The global bifurcation analysis indicates that there exist the heteroclinic bifurcations and the Shilnikov-type multi-pulse homoclinic orbits in the averaged equations. The results obtained above mean the existence of amplitude-modulated chaos in the Smale horseshoe sense in the parametric excited system with autoparametric resonance. The Shilnikov-type multi-pulse chaotic motions of the parametric excited system with autoparametric resonance are also found by using numerical simulation.     

Transverse runout in flexible disk rotating at periodically varying angular speed

Under consideration of initial unstressed transverse runout, governing equation of a flexible disk rotating at periodically varying angular speed is modeled as a parametrically excited system, and steady state deflection and resonance of the disk is investigated by the harmonic balance method. The investigation shows that the initial transverse runout of a given disk mode affects the steady state deflection of the mode itself more prominently than other modes, and the deflection component fluctuating in high-frequency is weak and can be neglected in analysis. The disk resonates when the integer multiple frequency of angular speed variation around the disk natural frequency in the frame fixed on the disk. And each integer multiple frequency results in twin resonance peaks with increasing variation amplitude and constant part of the angular speed. The angular speed variation amplitude enlarges the resonance peaks.

Non-Linear vibrations and chaos in harmonically excited rectangular plates with one-to-one internal resonance

Nonlinear flexural vibrations of a rectangular plate with uniform stretching are studied for the case when it is harmonically excited with forces acting normal to the midplane of the plate. The physical phenomena of interest here arise when the plate has two distinct linear modes of vibration with nearly the same natural frequency. It is shown that, depending on the spatial distribution of the external forces, the plate can undergo harmonic motions either in one of the two individual modes or in a mixed-mode. Stable single-mode and mixed-mode solutions can also coexist over a wide range in the amplitudes and frequency of excitation. For low damping levels, the presence of Hopf bifurcations in the mixed-mode response leads to complicated amplitude-modulated dynamics including period doubling bifurcations, chaos, coexistence of multiple chaotic motions, and crisis, whereby the chaotic attractors suddenly disappear and the plate resumes small amplitude harmonic motions in a single-mode. Numerical results are presented specifically for 1 : 1 resonance in the (1, 2) and (3, 1) plate modes.     

On vibration mitigation and energy harvesting of a non-ideal system with autoparametric vibration absorber system

This paper demonstrates that vibration mitigation and energy harvesting can be achieved simultaneously by using of an electricity-generating from autoparametric vibration absorber system (AVAS) and non-ideal system (NIS). The NIS consists of a simple portal frame excited by a small dc motor with eccentric mass, with limited power supply and located on the top. The AVAS consists of a cantilever beam with tip mass parallel coupled to NIS. A piezoelectric material is considered for energy harvesting installed in the base of the AVAS and an electric circuit is connected to the piezoelectric material in order to produce voltage output. Several numerical simulations were carried out focusing on the passage through the resonance of NIS, when the motor rotational frequency is near the portal frame natural frequency and when the non-ideal subsystem frequency is approximately twice the absorber beam frequency (two-to-one internal resonance). The results showed the existence of Sommerfeld effect in NIS and saturation phenomenon in the NIS–AVAS.     

2:2:1 Resonance in the Quasiperiodic Mathieu Equation

In this work, we investigate regions of stability in the vicinity of 2:2:1 resonance in the quasiperiodic Mathieu equation $$\frac{{d^2 x}}{{dt^2 }} + \left( {\delta + \varepsilon \cos t + \varepsilon \mu \cos \left( {1 + \varepsilon \Delta } \right)t} \right)x = 0,$$ using two successive perturbation methods. The parameters ∈ andμ are assumed to be small. The parameter ∈ serves forderiving the corresponding slow flow differential system and μserves to implement a second perturbation analysis on the slow flowsystem near its proper resonance. This strategy allows us to obtainanalytical expressions for the transition curves in the resonantquasiperiodic Mathieu equation. We compare the analytical results withthose of direct numerical integration. This work has application toparametrically excited systems in which there are two periodicdrivers, each with frequency close to twice the frequency of theunforced system.

Global bifurcations in externally excited autoparametric systems

We consider an autoparametric system consisting of an oscillator coupled with an externally excited subsystem. The oscillator and the subsystem are in one-to-one internal resonance. The excited subsystem is in primary resonance. The method of second-order averaging is used to obtain a set of autonomous equations of the second-order approximations to the externally excited system with autoparametric resonance. The Šhilnikov-type homoclinic orbits and chaotic dynamics of the averaged equations are studied in detail. The global bifurcation analysis indicates that there exist the heteroclinic bifurcations and the Šhilnikov-type homoclinic orbits in the averaged equations. The results obtained above mean the existence of the amplitude-modulated chaos for the Smale horseshoe sense in the externally excited system with autoparametric resonance. Furthermore, a detailed bifurcation analysis of the dynamic (periodic and chaotic) solutions of the averaged equations is presented. Nine branches of dynamic solutions are found. Two of these branches emerge from two Hopf bifurcations and the other seven are isolated. The limit cycles undergo symmetry-breaking, cyclic-fold and period-doubling bifurcations, whereas the chaotic attractors undergo attractor-merging and boundary crises. Simultaneous occurrence of the limit cycle and chaotic attractors, homoclinic orbits, intermittency chaos and homoclinic explosions are also observed.

MULTI-PULSE ORBITS AND CHAOTIC DYNAMICS OF A COMPOSITE LAMINATED RECTANGULAR PLATE

This paper presents an analysis on the nonlinear dynamics and multi-pulse chaotic motions of a simply-supported symmetric cross-ply composite laminated rectangular thin plate with the parametric and forcing excitations. Firstly, based on the Reddy’s third-order shear deformation plate theory and the model of the von Karman type geometric nonlinearity, the nonlinear governing partial difirential equations of motion for the composite laminated rectangular thin plate are derived by using the Hamilton’s principle. Then, using the second-order Galerkin discretization, the partial differential governing equations of motion are transformed to nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The case of the primary parametric resonance and 1:1 internal resonance is considered. Four-dimensional averaged equation is obtained by using the method of multiple scales. From the averaged equation obtained here, the theory of normal form is used to give the explicit expressions of normal form. Based on normal form, the energy phase method is utilized to analyze the global bifurcations and multi-pulse chaotic dynamics of the composite laminated rectangular thin plate. The theoretic results obtained above illustrate the existence of the chaos for the Smale horseshoe sense in a parametrical and forcing excited composite laminated thin plate. The chaotic motions of the composite laminated rectangular thin plate are also found by using numerical simulation, which also indicate that there exist different shapes of the multi-pulse chaotic motions for the composite laminated rectangular thin plate.     

Nonlinearly coupled vibrations of thin-walled elastic beams of open section

An account of certain subharmonic vibrations as observed during a resonant testing of thin-walled beams of monosymmetric open section for coupled torsional and bending vibrations is presented. The phenomenon can be described in terms of the vibrational modes of the beam. When the beam is excited at the resonant frequency of a higher mode, there is a tendency for the lowest mode to be excited, resulting in a high-order subharmonic oscillation. It is found that when such phenomenon occurs, the high-mode frequency is a multiple or near multiple of the fundamental frequency of the beam. Under such condition, the response of the beam consists of a superposition of the response of the high mode (harmonic response) and that of the fundamental mode (subharmonic response). The amplitude of the subharmonic motion is generally much larger than that of the harmonic response.     

Non-linear dynamics of asymmetric structures under 2:2:1 resonance

The non-linear dynamic behavior of a novel model of a single-story asymmetric structure under earthquake and harmonic excitations and near two-to-one internal resonance is investigated. The non-linearities of the proposed model, ignored in conventional linear models, are caused by non-linear inertial coupling between translational and torsional degrees of freedom defined in the directions of a non-inertial rotational system of reference, attached to the center of mass of the floor. The multiple scales method is used to achieve approximately linear solutions for the originally non-linear equations near a two-to-one ratio of external and internal resonant conditions. The suitability of the proposed model is justified by the similarity between the simulated response of the non-linear model and the experimental results. The numerical results of time history and frequency domain analyses illustrate the difference between the non-linear and linear models. Energy transfer from a lower natural frequency excited mode to a higher one due to non-linear interaction in the novel model is shown. The effects of amplitude, frequency detuning parameters, uncoupled lateral and torsional frequencies, and damping ratio on the responses are inspected and some non-linear phenomena such as hysteresis, jumping, hardening, and softening are observed.
