NONLINEAR VIBRATION OF THE COUPLED STRUCTURE OF SUSPENDED-CABLE-STAYED BEAM-1:2 INTERNAL RESONANCE

Through the Galerkin method the nonlinear ordinary differential equations （ODEs） in time are obtained from the nonlinear partial differential equations （PDEs） to describe the mo- tion of the coupled structure of a suspended-cable-stayed beam. In the PDEs, the curvature of main cables and the deformation of cable stays are taken into account. The dynamics of the struc- ture is investigated based on the ODEs when the structure is subjected to a harmonic excitation in the presence of both high-frequency principle resonance and 1：2 internal resonance. It is found that there are typical jumps and saturation phenomena of the vibration amplitude in the struc- ture. And the structure may present quasi-periodic vibration or chaos, if the stiffness of the cable stays membrane and frequency of external excitation are disturbed.     

Analysis of in-plane 1:1:1 internal resonance of a double cable-stayed shallow arch model with cables' external excitations

The nonlinear dynamic behaviors of a double cable-stayed shallow arch model are investigated under the one-to-one-to-one internal resonance among the lowest modes of cables and the shallow arch and external primary resonance of cables. The in-plane governing equations of the system are obtained when the harmonic excitation is applied to cables. The excitation mechanism due to the angle-variation of cable tension during motion is newly introduced. Galerkin's method and the multi-scale method are used to obtain ordinary differential equations(ODEs) of the system and their modulation equations, respectively. Frequency-and force-response curves are used to explore dynamic behaviors of the system when harmonic excitations are symmetrically and asymmetrically applied to cables. More importantly, comparisons of frequency-response curves of the system obtained by two types of trial functions, namely, a common sine function and an exact piecewise function, of the shallow arch in Galerkin's integration are conducted.The analysis shows that the two results have a slight difference; however, they both have sufficient accuracy to solve the proposed dynamic system.     

Nonlinear vibration of corrugated shallow shells under uniform load

Based on the large deflection dynamic equations of axisymmetric shallow shells of revolution, the nonlinear forced vibration of a corrugated shallow shell under uniform load is investigated. The nonlinear partial differential equations of shallow shell are reduced to the nonlinear integral-differential equations by the method of Green's function. To solve the integral-differential equations, expansion method is used to obtain Green's function. Then the integral-differential equations are reduced to the form with degenerate core by expanding Green's function as series of characteristic function. Therefore, the integral-differential equations become nonlinear ordinary differential equations with regard to time. The amplitude-frequency response under harmonic force is obtained by considering single mode vibration. As a numerical example, forced vibration phenomena of shallow spherical shells with sinusoidal corrugation are studied. The obtained solutions are available for reference to design of corrugated shells

Vibration of fluid-conveying pipe with nonlinear supports at both ends

The axial fluid-induced vibration of pipes is very widespread in engineering applications. The nonlinear forced vibration of a viscoelastic fluid-conveying pipe with nonlinear supports at both ends is investigated. The multi-scale method combined with the modal revision method is formulated for the fluid-conveying pipe system with nonlinear boundary conditions. The governing equations and the nonlinear boundary conditions are rescaled simultaneously as linear inhomogeneous equations and linear inhomogeneous boundary conditions on different time-scales. The modal revision method is used to transform the linear inhomogeneous boundary problem into a linear homogeneous boundary problem. The differential quadrature element method (DQEM) is used to verify the approximate analytical results. The results show good agreement between these two methods. A detailed analysis of the boundary nonlinearity is also presented. The obtained results demonstrate that the boundary nonlinearities have a significant effect on the dynamic characteristics of the fluid-conveying pipe, and can lead to significant differences in the dynamic responses of the pipe system.

为研究自然风荷载对斜拉桥拉索风雨激振的影响,将数值模拟的非稳态风荷载作用到拉索振动微分方程中,对拉索振动响应进行了详细分析。首先,针对水线初始位置,使用最小二乘法拟合得到水线初始位置方程;接着,采用四阶Runge-Kutta法求解拉索振动响应。通过比较在非稳态风和稳态平均风作用下的拉索响应,发现在非稳态风荷载下拉索最大振幅的变化趋势并没有发生较大改变,皆是随着风速的增大先增大后减小;但拉索的整个振动过程发生了变化,伴随着节拍改变,其最大振幅也出现在不同振动周期内。此外,从风速-振幅曲线知,对频率为1 Hz,2 Hz和3 Hz的拉索,在一定风速范围内,考虑非稳态风荷载的拉索振幅反而更大,而且此时的风速范围也更大。

Nonlinear vibration of a two-mass system with nonlinear stiffnesses

An analytical approach is developed for nonlinear free vibration of a conservative, two-degree-of-freedom mass–spring system having linear and nonlinear stiffnesses. The main contribution of the proposed approach is twofold. First, it introduces the transformation of two nonlinear differential equations of a two-mass system using suitable intermediate variables into a single nonlinear differential equation and, more significantly, the treatment a nonlinear differential system by linearization coupled with Newton’s method and harmonic balance method. New and accurate higher-order analytical approximate solutions for the nonlinear system are established. After solving the nonlinear differential equation, the displacement of two-mass system can be obtained directly from the governing linear second-order differential equation. Unlike the common perturbation method, this higher-order Newton–harmonic balance (NHB) method is valid for weak as well as strong nonlinear oscillation systems. On the other hand, the new approach yields simple approximate analytical expressions valid for small as well as large amplitudes of oscillation unlike the classical harmonic balance method which results in complicated algebraic equations requiring further numerical analysis. In short, this new approach yields extended scope of applicability, simplicity, flexibility in application, and avoidance of complicated numerical integration as compared to the previous approaches such as the perturbation and the classical harmonic balance methods. Two examples of nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom mass–spring system are analyzed and verified with published result, exact solutions and numerical integration data.     

Nonlinear parametric modeling of suspension bridges under aeroelastic forces: torsional divergence and flutter

A fully nonlinear model of suspension bridges parameterized by one single space coordinate is proposed to describe overall three-dimensional motions. The nonlinear equations of motion are obtained via a direct total Lagrangian formulation and the kinematics, for the deck-girder and the suspension cables, feature the finite displacements of the associated base lines and the flexural and torsional rotations of the deck cross-sections assumed rigid in their own planes. The strain-displacement relationships for the generalized strain parameters, the elongations in the cables, the deck elongation, and the three curvatures, retain the full geometric nonlinearities. The proposed nonlinear model with its full extensional-flexural-torsional coupling is employed to study the torsional divergence caused by the static part of the wind-induced forces. Two suspension bridges are considered as case studies: the Runyang bridge (main span 1,490?m) and the Hu Men bridge (main span 888?m) in China. The evaluation of the onset of the static instability and the post-critical behavior takes into account the prestressed condition of the bridge subject to dead loads. The dynamic bifurcation that occurs at the onset of flutter is also studied accounting for the prestressed equilibrium state about which the equations of motion are obtained via an updated Lagrangian formulation. Such a bifurcation is investigated in the context of the parametric nonlinear model considering the model parameters of the Runyang Suspension Bridge together with its aeroelastic derivatives. The calculated critical wind speeds for the onset of the static and dynamic bifurcations are compared with the results obtained via linear analysis and the main differences are highlighted. Parametric sensitivity studies are carried out to assess the influence of the design parameters on the instabilities associated with the bridge aeroelastic response.     

Nonlinear mechanics of flexible cables in space robotic arms subject to complex physical environment

A nonlinear model of a special cable in space robotic arms is developed in space environment. The mechanic effects of control cables in powerful robots can often be neglected. However, in complex space multi-physics environments, involving ultra-low temperature, radiation, and other extreme conditions of outer space, the externally mounted cables (protected by shielding layers) can induce strong nonlinear interference to robot arms; and this can induce further small-range slow rotations or oscillations of the flexible joint of robots at a specific posture, which consequently affect the precision and operation performance of end effectors. Effective mathematical models on nonlinear mechanics of strong cables under multi-physics environments and their effects on weak robots have not been well developed yet. Complex key factors, such as low gravity, nonlinear friction, and unexpected curved surface constraints, have not been extensively investigated either. In this study, considering all these key factors, a Kirchhoff nonlinear mechanical model of cables in complex space environments is developed, and a relatively improved algorithm based on a trust-region strategy is proposed for solving this nonlinear model, based on which the geometry and terminal force of the modeled robot cable can be obtained. The validity and accuracy of the proposed algorithm and theoretical calculation results are verified via experiments. The theoretical findings revealed in this study are significant to future research on the slow rotations and oscillations of weak robot joints in space exploration with robotic arms.

The solution of a system of two coupled, nonhomogeneous undamped, ordinary differential equations with cubic nonlinearity and sinusoidal driving force is obtained by the use of Jacobian elliptic functions and the elliptic balance method. To assess the accuracy of our proposed solution, we consider an example that arises in the study of the finite amplitude, nonlinear vibration of a simple shear suspension system. It is shown that the analytical results exhibit good agreement with the numerical integration solutions even for moderate values of the system parameters.     

Statics of nonlinear elastic cable-stayed systems with slipping flexible cables

A design model is proposed to describe spatial cable-stayed systems with slipping cables. The basic variables of the displacement method are selected. A system of nonlinear equilibrium equations is derived from the condition of minimum potential energy, taking into account the large displacements of joints and the large deformations of cables. A method and formulas needed to iteratively solve the system of nonlinear equations are presented. Individual consideration is given to a cable net with prescribed tension. The computed results make it possible to fabricate and mark out cable rods and to assemble cable nets based on their geometry alone, without the need for force measurement __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 42, No. 5, pp. 79–87, May 2006.     

Imperfection sensitivity in the nonlinear vibration of functionally graded plates

In this paper, the nonlinear partial differential equations of nonlinear vibration for an imperfect functionally graded plate (FGP) in a general state of arbitrary initial stresses are presented. The derived equations include the effects of initial stresses and initial imperfections size. The material properties of a functionally graded plate are graded continuously in the direction of thickness. The variation of the properties follows a simple power-law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. Using these derived governing equations, the nonlinear vibration of initially stressed FGPs with geometric imperfection was studied. Present approach employed perturbation technique, Galerkin method and Runge–Kutta method. The perturbation technique was used to derive the nonlinear governing equations. The equations of motion of the imperfect FGPs was obtained using Galerkin method and then solved by Runge–Kutta method. Numerical solutions are presented for the performances of perfect and imperfect FGPs. The nonlinear vibration of a simply supported ceramic/metal FGP was solved. It is found that the initial stress, geometric imperfection and volume fraction index greatly affect the behaviors of nonlinear vibration.
