A variable parameter incrementation method is proposed and then applied to the determination of parametric instability boundary of columns. Attention is particularly paid to the geometrically nonlinear problems including the instability of nonlinear vibrations. Although only beam and column problems are treated at present, the approach is believed to be general in methodology. This method is not subjected to the limitations of small exciting parameters and weak nonlinearity.

The incremental method has been widely used in various types of nonlinear analysis, however, so far it has received little attention in the analysis of periodic nonlinear vibrations. In this paper, an amplitude incremental variational principle for nonlinear vibrations of elastic systems is derived. Based on this principle various approximate procedures can be adapted to the incremental formulation. The linear solution for the system is used as the starting point of the solution procedure and the amplitude is then increased incrementally. Within each incremental step, only a set of linear equations has to be solved to obtain the data for the next stage. To show the effectiveness of the present method, some typical examples of nonlinear free vibrations of plates and shallow shells are computed. Comparison with analytical results calculated by using elliptic integral confirms that excellent accuracy can be achieved. The technique is applicable to highly nonlinear problems as well as problems with only weak nonlinearity.

Calculation Results

The marine derrick sometimes operates under extreme weather conditions, especially wind; therefore, the buckling analysis of the components in the derrick is one of the critical contents of engineering safety research. This paper aimed to study the local stability of marine derrick and propose an analytical method for geometrically nonlinear problems. The rod in the derrick is simplified as a compression rod with simply supported ends, which is subjected to transverse uniform load. Considering the second-order effect, the differential equations were used to establish the deflection, rotation angle, and bending moment equations of the derrick rod under the lateral uniform load. This method was defined as a geometrically nonlinear analytical method. Moreover, the deflection deformation and stability of the derrick members were analyzed, and the practical calculation formula was obtained. The Ansys analysis results were compared with the calculation results in this paper.

Laminated Shells

A consistent higher-order shear deformation nonlinear theory is developed for shells of generic shape; taking geometric imperfections into account. The geometrically nonlinear strain-displacement relationships are derived retaining full nonlinear terms in the in-plane displacements; they are presented in curvilinear coordinates in a formulation ready to be implemented. Then, large-amplitude forced vibrations of a simply supported, laminated circular cylindrical shell are studied (i) by using the developed theory, and (ii) keeping only nonlinear terms of the von Ka´rma´n type. Results show that inaccurate results are obtained by keeping only nonlinear terms of the von Ka´rma´n type for vibration amplitudes of about two times the shell thickness for the studied case.

Two Dimensional Model

A two dimensional model for the substrate inside a pocket of an active site of an enzyme is presented and investigated as a vibrational system. The parameters of the system are evaluated for α-chymotrypsin. In the case of internal resonance it is analytically and numerically shown that the energy concentrated on a certain degree of freedom might be several times larger than in the non-resonant case. Additionally, the system is driven by harmonic excitations and again energy due to nonlinear phenomena is redistributed inhomogeneously. These results may be of importance for the determination of the rates of catalytic events of substrates bound in pockets of active sites.

Two Stages

The loss of stability of the horizontal-plane periodic motion of a steered ship in waves is investigated. In earlier reports we referred to the possibility of a broaching mechanism that will be intrinsic to the periodic mode, whereby there will exist no need for the ship to go through the surf-riding stage. However, about this point the discussion was essentially conjectural. In order to provide substance we present here a theoretical approach that is organized in two stages: Initially, we demonstrate the existence of a mechanism of parametric instability of yaw on the basis of a rudimentary, single-degree model of maneuvering motion in waves. Then, with a more elaborate model, we identify the underlying nonlinear phenomena that govern the large-amplitude horizontal ship motions, considering the ship as a multi-degree, nonlinear oscillator. Our analysis brings to light a very specific sequence of phenomena leading to cumulative broaching that involves a change in the stability of the ordinary periodic motion on the horizontal plane, a transition towards subharmonic response and, ultimately, a sudden jump to resonance. Possible means for controlling the onset of such undesirable behavior are also investigated.

Abstract The paper deals with the application of a strong method called the modified Mickens iteration technique which is used for solving a strongly nonlinear system. The system describes the motion of a simple mathematical pendulum with a particle attached to it through a stretched wire. This model has great applications especially in the area of nonlinear vibrations and oscillation systems. The proposed method depends on determining the frequency and amplitude of the system through the modified Mickens iterative approach which is a modification of the regular Mickens approach. The preliminaries of the proposed technique are present and the application to the model is discussed. The method depends on the Mickens iteration approach which transforms the considered equation into a linear form and then is solving this equation result in the approximate solution. Some examples are given to validate and illustrate the effectiveness and convenience of the method. These results are compared with other relative techniques from the literature in terms of finding the frequency of the two examined models. The method produces more accurate results when compared to these methods and is considered a strong candidate for solving other nonlinear problems with applications in science and engineering.
