This paper presents a nonlinear dynamic analysis of a flexible portal frame subjected to support excitation, which is provided by an electro-dynamical shaker. The main goal of this study is to investigate the dynamic interactions between a flexible portal frame and a nonlinear electrical support excitation. The numerical analysis shows a complex behavior of the system, which can be observed by phase spaces, Poincaré sections and bifurcation diagrams.

This paper presents the results from an experimental investigation into the planar, multi-mode response of a metallic portal frame to a harmonic support excitation. Forcing frequency and amplitude sweeps near the frequencies of the eighth and tenth modes of the structure revealed multi-mode responses. In the frequency interval surrounding that of the eighth mode, two additional lower-frequency modes, the fourth and the sixth, were excited. The mechanism responsible for the multimode behaviour of the frame is a combination internal resonance of the additive type. In addition, for a brief interval, a non-resonant interaction involving the eighth mode and the first mode was observed. Forcing amplitude sweeps for forcing frequencies below the eighth linear natural frequency produced a saturation-type phenomenon and a chaotically modulated motion. For the frequency interval surrounding that of the tenth mode, the response contained contributions from seven modes; these modes were excited through the simultaneous satisfaction of several internal resonance conditions.
