Melnikov’S Method

The dynamics of a dual-spinner subject to the action of an internal oscillatory torque and Coulomb friction between the two linked bodies is investigated. The conditions for existence of transverse homoclinic points and homoclinic tangency of chaotic motions are obtained using Melnikov’s method. Through long-term numerical integration of the equations of motion, steady-state chaotic attractors are also found and studied numerically by varying the forcing amplitude.

Bearing System

This paper deals with the dynamics of an accelerating unbalanced Jeffcott rotor-bearing system mounted on damped, flexible supports. The general equations of motion for such a system are presented and discussed. The rotor response was predicted, via numerical integration, for various cases in runup and rundown conditions and presented in graphical form. The effects of acceleration on the rotor peak amplitude and the speed at which the peak occurs is discussed and compared to steady state predictions.

Simulation Language

A method is developed which allows the digital simulation of the unsteady motion of a single ball constrained only by two moving bearing races. Any desired motion of the races can be simulated. Normal forces acting on the ball are calculated by Hertzian contact deformation theory. If there is slippage between ball and races, Coulomb friction is assumed to occur. Solutions to the differential equations of motion were obtained on a computer with the digital simulation language MIMIC. The phenomenon of ball control as well as the behavior of the ball as it reached a controlled state from rest were observed. This analysis can produce more realistic results than methods that assume that the ball is controlled at all times, especially when the races are radially or angularly displaced with respect to each other.

Liquid Surfaces

Helmholtz was the first to remark on the instability of those “liquid surfaces” which separate portions of fluid moving with different velocities, and Kelvin, in investigating the influence of wind on waves in water, supposed frictionless, has discussed the conditions under which a plane surface of water becomes unstable. Adopting Kelvin’s method, Rayleigh investigated the instability of a surface of discontinuity. A clear and easily accessible rendering of the discussion is given by Lamb. The above investigations are conducted upon the well-known principle of “small oscillations”—there is a basic steady motion, upon which is superposed a flow, the squares of whose components of velocity can be neglected. This method has the advantage of making the equations of motion linear. If by this method the flow is found to be stable, the equations of motion give the subsequent history of the system, for the small oscillations about the steady state always remain “small.” If, however, the method indicates that the system is unstable, that is, if the deviations from the steady state increase exponentially with the time, the assumption of small motions cannot, after an appropriate interval of time, be applied to the case under consideration, and the equations of motion, in their approximate form, no longer give a picture of the flow. For this reason, which is well known, the investigations of Rayleigh only prove the existence of instability during the initial stages of the motion. It is the object of this note to investigate the form assumed by the surface of discontinuity when the displacements and velocities are no longer small.

Chaotic Motions

This paper presents an analysis on the nonlinear dynamics and multi-pulse chaotic motions of a simply-supported symmetric cross-ply composite laminated rectangular thin plate with the parametric and forcing excitations. Firstly, based on the Reddy’s three-order shear deformation plate theory and the model of the von Karman type geometric nonlinearity, the nonlinear governing partial differential equations of motion for the composite laminated rectangular thin plate are derived by using the Hamilton’s principle. Then, using the second-order Galerkin discretization approach, the partial differential governing equations of motion are transformed to nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The case of the primary parametric resonance and 1:1 internal resonance is considered. Four-dimensional averaged equation is obtained by using the method of multiple scales. From the averaged equation obtained here, the theory of normal form is used to give the explicit expressions of normal form. Based on normal form, the energy phase method is utilized to analyze the global bifurcations and multi-pulse chaotic dynamics of the composite laminated rectangular thin plate. The results obtained above illustrate the existence of the chaos for the Smale horseshoe sense in a parametrical and forcing excited composite laminated thin plate. The chaotic motions of the composite laminated rectangular thin plate are also found by using numerical simulation. The results of numerical simulation also indicate that there exist different shapes of the multi-pulse chaotic motions for the composite laminated rectangular thin plate.

Abstract Adjoint and direct differentiation methods are used to formulate design sensitivities for the steady-state response of damped linear elastodynamic systems that are subject to periodic loads. Variations of a general response functional are expressed in explicit form with respect to design field perturbations. Modal analysis techniques which uncouple the equations of motion are used to perform the analyses. In this way, it is possible to obtain closed form relations for the sensitivity expressions. This eliminates the need to evaluate the adjoint response and psuedo response (these responses are associated with the adjoint and direct differentiation sensitivity problems) over the time domain. The sensitivities need not be numerically integrated over time, thus they are quickly computed. The methodology is valid for problems with proportional as well as non-proportional damping. In an example problem, sensitivities of steady-state vibration amplitude of a crankshaft subject to engine firing loads are evaluated with respect to the stiffness, inertial, and damping parameters which define the shaft. Both the adjoint and direct differentiation methods are used to compute the sensitivities. Finite difference sensitivity approximations are also calculated to validate the explicit sensitivity results.

In order to accurately predict the fatigue life and wear life of a belt, the various stresses that the belt is subjected to and the belt slip over the pulleys must be accurately calculated. In this paper, the effect of material and geometric parameters on the steady-state stresses (including normal, tangential and axial stresses), average belt slip for a flat belt, and belt-drive energy efficiency is studied using a high-fidelity flexible multibody dynamics model of the belt-drive. The belt’s rubber matrix is modeled using three-dimensional brick elements and the belt’s reinforcements are modeled using one dimensional truss elements. Friction between the belt and the pulleys is modeled using an asperity-based Coulomb friction model. The pulleys are modeled as cylindrical rigid bodies. The equations of motion are integrated using a time-accurate explicit solution procedure. The material parameters studied are the belt-pulley friction coefficient and the belt axial stiffness and damping. The geometric parameters studied are the belt thickness and the pulleys’ centers distance.
