Bifurcation Analyses in the Parametrically Excited Vibrations of Cylindrical Panels

We consider parametrically excited vibrations of shallow cylindrical panels. The governing system of two coupled nonlinear partial differential equations is discretized by using the Bubnov–Galerkin method. The computations are simplified significantly by the application of computer algebra, and as a result low dimensional models of shell vibrations are readily obtained. After applying numerical continuation techniques and ideas from dynamical systems theory, complete bifurcation diagrams are constructed. Our principal aim is to investigate the interaction between different modes of shell vibrations under parametric excitation. Results for system models with four of the lowest modes are reported. We essentially investigate periodic solutions, their stability and bifurcations within the range of excitation frequency that corresponds to the parametric resonances at the lowest mode of vibration.

Flutter suppression of a plate-like wing via parametric excitation

The present work is motivated by the well known stabilizing effect of parametric excitation of some dynamical systems such as the inverted pendulum. The possibility of suppressing wing flutter via parametric excitation along the plane of highest rigidity in the neighborhood of combination resonance is explored. The nonlinear equations of motion in the presence of incompressible fluid flow are derived using Hamilton's principle and Theodorsen's theory for modeling aerodynamic forces. In the presence of air flow, the bending and torsion modes possess nearly the same frequency. Under parametric excitation and in the absence of air flow, each mode oscillates at its own natural frequency. In the neighborhood of combination resonance, the nonlinear response is determined using the multiple scales method at the critical flutter speed and at slightly higher airflow speed. The domains of attraction and bifurcation diagrams are obtained to reveal the conditions under which the parametric excitation can provide stabilizing effect. The basins of attraction for different values of excitation amplitude reveal the stabilizing effect that takes place above a critical excitation level. Below that level, the response experiences limit cycle oscillations, cascade of period doubling, and chaos. For flow speed slightly higher than the critical flutter speed, the response experiences a train of spikes, known as ‘firing,’ a term that is borrowed from neuroscience, followed by ‘refractory’ or recovery effect, up to an excitation level above which the wing is stabilized. The results of the multiple scales method are verified using numerical simulation of the original nonlinear differential equations.     

Deterministic and Stochastic Response of Nonlinear Coupled Bending-Torsion Modes in a Cantilever Beam

The purpose of this study is to understand the main differences between the deterministic and random response characteristics of an inextensible cantilever beam (with a tip mass) in the neighborhood of combination parametric resonance. The excitation is applied in the plane of largest rigidity such that the bending and torsion modes are cross-coupled through the excitation. In the absence of excitation, the two modes are also coupled due to inertia nonlinearities. For sinusoidal parametric excitation, the beam experiences instability in the neighborhood of the combination parametric resonance of the summed type, i.e., when the excitation frequency is in the neighborhood of the sum of the first bending and torsion natural frequencies. The dependence of the response amplitude on the excitation level reveals three distinct regions: nearly linear behavior, jump phenomena, and energy transfer. In the absence of nonlinear coupling, the stochastic stability boundaries are obtained in terms of sample Lyapunov exponent. The response statistics are estimated using Monte Carlo simulation, and measured experimentally. The excitation center frequency is selected to be close to the sum of the bending and torsion mode frequencies. The beam is found to experience a single response, two possible responses, or non-stationary responses, depending on excitation level. Experimentally, it is possible to obtain two different responses for the same excitation level by providing a small perturbation to the beam during the test.     

Combination,principal parametric and internal resonances of an accelerating beam under two frequency parametric excitation

This study analyses the nonlinear transverse vibration of an axially moving beam subject to two frequency excitation. Focus has been made on simultaneous resonant cases i.e. principal parametric resonance of first mode and combination parametric resonance of additive type involving first two modes in presence of internal resonance. By adopting the direct method of multiple scales, the governing nonlinear integro-partial differential equation for transverse motion is reduced to a set of nonlinear first order ordinary partial differential equations which are solved either by means of continuation algorithm or via direct time integration. Specifically, the frequency response plots and amplitude curves, their stability and bifurcation are obtained using continuation algorithm. Numerical results reveal the rich and interesting nonlinear phenomena that have not been presented in the existent literature on the nonlinear dynamics of axially moving systems.

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.

Component Mode Synthesis Using Nonlinear Normal Modes

This paper describes a methodology for developing reduced-order dynamic models of structural systems that are composed of an assembly of nonlinear component structures. The approach is a nonlinear extension of the fixed-interface component mode synthesis (CMS) technique developed for linear structures by Hurty and modified by Craig and Bampton. Specifically, the case of nonlinear substructures is handled by using fixed-interface nonlinear normal modes (NNMs). These normal modes are constructed for the various substructures using an invariant manifold approach, and are then coupled through the traditional linear constraint modes (i.e., the static deformation shapes produced by unit interface displacements). A class of systems is used to demonstrate the concept and show the effectiveness of the proposed procedure. Simulation results show that the reduced-order model (ROM) obtained from the proposed procedure outperforms the ROM obtained from the classical fixed-interface linear CMS approach as applied to a nonlinear structure. The proposed method is readily applicable to large-scale nonlinear structural systems that are based on finite-element models.     

Nonlinear modeling and control of flexible-link manipulators subjected to parametric excitation

This paper presents nonlinear dynamic modeling and control of flexible-link manipulators subjected to parametric excitation. The equations of motion are obtained using the Lagrangian-assumed modes method. Singular perturbation methodology is developed for the nonlinear time varying equations of motion to obtain a reduced-order set of equations. Control strategies, computed torque control and a composite control, based on the singular perturbation formulation developed, are utilized to reduce mechanical vibrations of the flexible-link and enable better tip positioning. Under the composite control technique, the effect of the value of perturbation parameter on the control signal is investigated. Numerical simulations supported by real-time experiments show that the singular-perturbation control methodology developed for the nonlinear time-varying system offers better system response over the computed torque control as the manipulator is commanded to follow a certain trajectory.     

On the coupling of non-linear normal modes

The phenomenon of internal resonance is known as the exchange of energy between the modes and the existence of coupled-mode response under a single-mode excitation. This phenomenon is observed whenever a non-linear normal mode loses its stability, called the modal coupling. The details of modal coupling are formulated in the free vibrations of two-degree-of-freedom systems, and compared with internal resonance. The theory is based on the structural change in Poincaré map due to the stability change of normal modes. It is shown that every change in stability of normal modes gives rise to a pitchfork or a period-doubling bifurcation. The functional form is derived to compute the coupled modes by the method of harmonic balance. Examples are given to describe the procedure of stability analysis of non-linear normal modes, to compute the coupled modes, and then to demonstrate that results of internal resonances can be derived by model coupling. Other examples are given to demonstrate that the results of some modal couplings cannot be obtained by internal resonances.     

Parametric resonance,stability and heteroclinic bifurcation in a nonlinear oscillator with time-delay: Application to a quarter-car model

This work examines dynamical behavior of a nonlinear oscillator with symmetric potential that models a quarter-car forced by the road profile under parametric excitation. The parametric resonance of a harmonically excited nonlinear quarter-car model with position and velocity time-delayed active control are investigated. We focus on the influence of delay and parametric excitation in the system. The influence of parametric excitation, time-delay and feedback gain parameters on the stability of the steady state response are investigated. By means of Melnikov's method, conditions for onset of chaos resulting from heteroclinic bifurcation is derived analytically and numerically.

Nonlinear dynamic analysis of dielectric elastomer membrane with electrostriction

The dielectric elastomer (DE) is an important intelligent soft material widely used in soft actuators, and the dynamic response of the DE is highly nonlinear due to the material properties. In the DE, electrostriction denotes the deformation-dependent permittivity. In the present study, we formulate the nonlinear dynamic governing equations of the DE membrane considering the electrostriction effect. The free vibration and parametric excitation of the DE membrane with different geometric sizes are calculated. The free vibration bifurcations induced by the initial location and the voltage are both discussed according to an energy-based approach. The amplitude-frequency characteristics and bifurcation diagrams of parametric excitation are also given. The results show that electrostriction decreases the free vibration amplitude and increases the frequency, but it has less influence on the parametric excitation oscillation frequency and decreases the parametric excitation amplitude except when the membrane resonates. The initial location and the applied voltage can induce the snap-through instability of the free vibration. A large geometric size will lead to a much lower resonance frequency. The resonance amplitudes increase while the resonance frequencies decrease with the increase in the applied voltage. The critical voltage of snap-through instability for the parametric excitation is larger than that for the free vibration one.

     

Nonlinear normal modes of a self-excited system driven by parametric and external excitations

Vibrations of nonlinear coupled parametrically and self-excited oscillators driven by an external harmonic force are presented in the paper. It is shown that if the force excites the system inside the principal parametric resonance then for a small excitation amplitude a resonance curve includes an internal loop. To find the analytical solutions, the problem is reduced to one degree of freedom oscillators by applications of Nonlinear Normal Modes (NNMs). The NNMs are formulated on the basis of free vibrations of a nonlinear conservative system as functions of amplitude. The analytical results are validated by numerical simulations and an essential difference between linear and nonlinear modes is pointed out.

Nonlinear normal modes in multi-mode models of an inertially coupled elastic structure

Nonlinear normal modes for elastic structures have been studied extensively in the literature. Most studies have been limited to small nonlinear motions and to structures with geometric nonlinearities. This work investigates the nonlinear normal modes in elastic structures that contain essential inertial nonlinearities. For such structures, based on the works of Crespo da Silva and Meirovitch, a general methodology is developed for obtaining multi-degree-of-freedom discretized models for structures in planar motion. The motion of each substructure is represented by a finite number of substructure admissible functions in a way that the geometric compatibility conditions are automatically assured. The multi degree-of-freedom reduced-order models capture the essential dynamics of the system and also retain explicit dependence on important physical parameters such that parametric studies can be conducted. The specific structure considered is a 3-beam elastic structure with a tip mass. Internal resonance conditions between different linear modes of the structure are identified. For the case of 1:2 internal resonance between two global modes of the structure, a two-mode nonlinear model is then developed and nonlinear normal modes for the structure are studied by the method of multiple time scales as well as by a numerical shooting technique. Bifurcations in the nonlinear normal modes are shown to arise as a function of the internal mistuning that represents variations in the tip mass in the structure. The results of the two techniques are also compared.     

Dynamic analysis of piezoelectric energy harvester under combination parametric and internal resonance: a theoretical and experimental study

In this work, theoretical and experimental analysis of a piezoelectric energy harvester with parametric base excitation is presented under combination parametric resonance condition. The harvester consists of a cantilever beam with a piezoelectric patch and an attached mass, which is positioned in such a way that the system exhibits 1:3 internal resonance. The generalized Galerkin’s method up to two modes is used to obtain the temporal form of the nonlinear electromechanical governing equation of motion. The method of multiple scales is used to reduce the equations of motion into a set of first-order differential equations. The fixed-point response and the stability of the system under combination parametric resonance are studied. The multi-branched non-trivial response exhibits bifurcations such as turning point and Hopf bifurcations. Experiments are performed under various resonance conditions. This study on the parametric excitation along with combination and internal resonances will help to harvest energy for a wider frequency range from ambient vibrations.
