The axisymmetric dynamic stability of rotating sandwich circular plates with a constrained damping layer subjected to a periodic uniform radial loading along the outer edge of the host plate is studied in the present paper. The viscoelastic material in middle layer is assumed to be frequency dependent and incompressible, and complex representations of moduli are used. Equations of motion of the system are derived by the finite element method where the geometry stiffness matrices induced by rotation and external load are evaluated from solutions of static problems. Bolotin’s method is employed to determine the regions of dynamic instability while the eigenvalue problems with frequency dependent parameters are solved by the modified complex eigensolution method. Numerical results show that the effects of constrained damping layer tend to stabilize the circular plate system and the widths of unstable regions decrease with increasing of rotational speeds.

The dynamic stability behavior of a cantilever shaft-disk system subjected to axial periodic forces varying with time is studied by the finite element method. The equations of motion for such a system are formulated using deformation shape functions developed from Timoshenko beam theory. The effects of translational and rotatory inertia, gyroscopic moment, bending and shear deformation are included in the mathematical model. Numerical results show that the effect of the gyroscopic term is to shift the boundaries of the regions of dynamic instability outwardly and, therefore, the sizes of these regions are enlarged as the rotational speed increases.

The purpose of this paper is to provide theoretical support for the structural design to prevent the wear of needle. The actual wear of the orientation part of the needle in scrapped needles was researched. The presented results showed that the main reason to the wear of the orientation part of needle was the dynamic instability and the abrasives enter into the surface of orientation part which increases the wear, and that the calculation model of dynamic stability was proposed to prevent the wear of needle. This model was a pressure rod, one end of which was fixed, the other was free, and the two ends were pressed on axial force which changes with time. Besides, the classic formula of dynamic stability of pressure rod was changed rationally, so as to correspond with the calculation model. It will play a part in preventing the wear of needle.

In this paper the dynamic behavior of beam-like mechanism systems is investigated. The elastic beam is modeled by finite rigid segments connected by joint springs and dampers. The equations of motion are derived using Kane’s equations. The nonlinear terms are linearized by first order perturbation about a system balanced configuration state leading to geometric stiffness matrices. A simple numerical example of a rotating cantilever beam is presented.

Abstract This paper discusses the dynamic instability of circular cylindrical shells subjected to time-dependent axial edge loads of the form P(t) = P0+P1(t), where the dynamic component p1(t) is periodic in time and P0 is a uniform compressive load. In the present paper a low dimensional model, which retains the essential non-linear terms, is used to study the non-linear oscillations and instabilities of the shell. For this, Donnell’s shallow shell equations are used together with the Galerkin method to derive a set of coupled non-linear ordinary differential equations of motion which are, in turn, solved by the Runge-Kutta method. To study the non-linear behavior of the shell, several numerical strategies were used to obtain Poincaré maps, stable and unstable fixed points, bifurcation diagrams and basins of attraction. Particular attention is paid to two dynamic instability phenomena that may arise under these loading conditions: parametric instability and escape from the pre-buckling potential well. The numerical results obtained from this investigation clarify the conditions, which control whether or not instability may occur. This may help in establishing proper design criteria for these shells under dynamic loads, a topic practically unexplored in literature.

A series of bare-hull resistance and self-propulsion tests were carried out on a 1/8 scale model of a 11.8 m long, waterjet-propelled planing hull in the clear water towing tank at the National Research Council of Canada's Institute for Marine Dynamics. The bare-hull resistance tests, performed with the waterjet inlets closed, spanned a range of eight model velocities and nine ballast conditions consisting of three displacements each with three positions of the longitudinal center of gravity. The hull was then fitted with two model waterjet thrusters and tested over the same speeds and ballast conditions. Dynamic instability, or porpoising, was seen during certain high-speed tests. A discussion of this behavior and its relation to published dynamic stability limits is given.

AbstractMany engineering structures exhibit frequency dependent characteristics and analyses of these structures lead to frequency dependent eigenvalue problems. This paper presents a novel perturbative iteration (PI) algorithm which can be used to effectively and efficiently solve frequency dependent eigenvalue problems of general frequency dependent systems. Mathematical formulations of the proposed method are developed and based on these formulations, a computer algorithm is devised. Extensive numerical case examples are given to demonstrate the practicality of the proposed method. When all modes are included, the method is exact and when only a subset of modes are used, very accurate results are obtained.

The instability of dams will bring immeasurable personal and property losses to the downstream, so it has always been a trendy topic worthy of investigation. Currently, the rigid body limit equilibrium method is the most commonly used method for the dynamic stability analysis of dams. However, under the action of earthquakes, the instability of the integral dam-foundation system threatens the safety of the dams and is of great concern. In this paper, a stability analysis method that can reflect the complex geological structural forms of dam foundations is proposed in this paper. The advantages are that this method deals with the difficulty in assuming sliding surfaces and the lack of quantitative criteria for the dynamic instability analysis of dams with complex geological structural forms of dam foundations. In addition, through the method, the sliding channels that may appear in the dam foundations can be automatically searched under random earthquake action, and the safety factors of the dynamic instability of dams be quantitatively obtained. Taking a high RCC gravity dam under construction in China as an example, the proposed method is applied to the three-dimensional finite element model of the dam-foundation system of this dam, and then the dynamic stability calculation is carried out. Through this method, the formation process of the dam foundation’s plastic zone and the failure of sliding channels with different strength reduction coefficients are studied on and analyzed detailedly, and the quantitative acquisition of the safety factors is realized. The results show that the method is reasonable and feasible, and helps provide a new idea and method for the dynamic stability analysis of dams.
