Nonlinear Normal

Isolated resonance curves are separate from the main nonlinear forced-response branch, so they can easily be missed by a continuation algorithm and the resonant response might be underpredicted. The present work explores the connection between these isolated resonances and the nonlinear normal modes of the system and adapts an energy balance criterion to connect the two. This approach provides new insights into the occurrence of isolated resonances as well as a method to find an initial guess to compute the isolated resonance curve using numerical continuation. The concepts are illustrated on a finite element model of a cantilever beam with a nonlinear spring at its tip. This system presents jumps in both frequency and amplitude in its response to a swept sinusoidal excitation. The jumps are found to be the result of a modal interaction that creates an isolated resonance curve that eventually merges with the main resonance branch as the excitation force increases. Excellent insight into the observed dynamics is provided with the NNM theory, which supports that NNMs can also be a useful tool for predicting isolated resonance curves and other behaviors in the damped, forced response.

Experimental Characterisation

The experimental characterisation of a nonlinear structure is a challenging process, particularly for multiple degree of freedom and continuous structures. Despite attracting much attention from academia, there is much work needed to create processes that can achieve characterisation in timescales suitable for industry, and a key to this is the design of the testing procedure itself. This work proposes a passive testing method that seeks a desired degree of resonance between forcing and response. In this manner, the process automatically seeks data that reveals greater detail of the underlying nonlinear normal modes than a traditional stepped sine method. Furthermore, the method can target multiple harmonics of the fundamental forcing frequency, and is therefore suitable for structures with complex modal interactions. The method is presented with some experimental examples, using a structure with a 3:1 internal resonance.

Nonlinear Normal

The objective of this paper is to demonstrate that the numerical computation of the nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) of complex real-world structures is now within reach. The application considered in this study is the airframe of the Morane-Saulnier Paris aircraft, whose ground vibration tests have exhibited some nonlinear structural behaviors. The finite element model of this aircraft, elaborated from drawings, has more than 80000 degrees of freedom, and softening nonlinearities exist in the connection between the external fuel tanks and the wing tips. From this model, a reduced-order model, which is accurate in the [0–100Hz] range, is constructed using the Craig-Bampton technique. The NNMs of the reduced model are then computed using a numerical algorithm combining shooting and pseudo-arclength continuation. The results show that the NNMs of this full-scale structure can be computed accurately even in strongly nonlinear regimes and with a reasonable computational burden. Nonlinear modal interactions are also highlighted by the algorithm and are discussed.

Two Degree Of Freedom

A formulation for computing resonant nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) is developed for discrete and continuous systems. In a canonical framework, internal resonance conditions are immediately recognized by identifying commensurable linearized natural frequencies of these systems. Additionally, a canonical formulation allows for a single (linearized modal) coordinate to parameterize all other coordinates during a resonant NNM response. Energy-based NNM methodologies are applied to a canonical set of equations and asymptotic solutions are sought. In order to account for the resonant modal interactions, it will be shown that high-order terms in the O(1) solutions must be considered (in the absence of internal resonances, a linear expansion at O(1) is sufficient). Two applications (‘3:1’ resonances in a two-degree-of-freedom system and ‘3:1’ resonance in a hinged-clamped beam) are then considered by which to demonstrate the resonant NNM methodology. It is shown that for some responses, nonlinear modal relations do not exist in the context of physical coordinates and thus a transformation to a canonical framework is necessary in order to appropriately define NNM relations.

Abstract In this work, modifications to existing energy-based nonlinear normal mode (NNM) methodologies are developed in order to investigate internal resonances. A formulation for computing resonant NNMs is developed for discrete, or discretized for continuous systems, sets of weakly nonlinear equations with uncoupled linear terms (i.e systems in modal, or canonical, form). By considering a canonical framework, internal resonance conditions are immediately recognized by identifying commensurable linearized natural frequencies. Additionally, the canonical formulation allows for a single (linearized modal) coordinate to parameterize all other (modal) coordinates during a resonant modal response. Energy-based NNM methodologies are then applied to the canonical equations and asymptotic solutions are sought. In order to account for the resonant modal interactions, it will be shown that high-order terms in the O(1) solutions must be considered. Two applications (‘3:1’ resonances in a two-degree-of-freedom system and ‘3:1’ resonance in a hinged-clamped beam) are then considered by which to demonstrate the application of the resonant NNM methodology. Resonant normal mode solutions are obtained and the stability characteristics of these computed modes are considered. It is shown that for some responses, nonlinear modal relations do not exist in the context of physical coordinates and thus the transformation to canonical coordinates is necessary in order to define appropriate NNM relations.

The stability of periodic motions (nonlinear normal modes) in a nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system is studied by deriving an approximation for the Poincare´ map via the Birkhoff-Gustavson canonical transofrmation. This method is presented as an alternative to the usual linearized stability analysis based on Floquet theory. An example is given for which the Floquet theory approach fails to predict stability but for which the Poincare´ map approach succeeds.

Abstract The free oscillations of a strongly nonlinear, discrete oscillator are examined by computing its “nonsimilar nonlinear normal modes.” These are motions represented by curves in the configuration space of the system, and they are not encountered in classical, linear vibration theory or in existing nonlinear perturbation techniques. For an oscillator with weak coupling stiffness and “mistiming,” both localized and nonlocalized modes are detected, occurring in small neighborhoods of “degenerate” and “global” similar modes of the “tuned” system. When strong coupling is considered, only nonlocalized modes are found to exist. An interesting result of this work is the detection of mode localization in the “tuned” periodic system, a result with no counterpart in existing theories on linear mode localization.
