An alternative perturbation procedure of multiple scales is presented in this paper which is capable of treating various periodic and almost periodic steady-state vibrations including combination resonance of nonlinear systems with multiple degrees-of-freedom. This procedure is a generalization of the Lindstedt-Poincare´ method. To show its essential features a typical example of cubic nonlinear systems, the clamped-hinged beam, is analyzed. The numerical results for the almost periodic-free vibration are surprisingly close to that obtained by the incremental harmonic balance (IHB) method, and the analytical formulae for steady-state solution are, in fact, identical with that of conventional method of multiple time scales. Moreover, detail calculations of this example revealed some interesting behavior of nonlinear responses, which is of significance for general cubic systems.

An incremental harmonic balance method with multiple time scales is presented in this paper. As a general and systematic computer method, it is capable of treating aperiodic “steady-state” vibrations such as combination resonance, etc. Moreover, this method is not subjected to the limitation of weak nonlinearity. To show the essential features of the new approach, the almost periodic free vibration of a clamped-hinged beam is computed as an example.

A rotating beam at varying speed mathematical model is studied. Multiple time scales method is applied to the nonlinear system of differential equations and investigated the system behavior approximate solution in the instance of resonance case. We studied the system in case of applying the delayed control on the displacement and the velocity with Proportional–derivative (PD) controller. The consistency of the steady state solution in the near-resonance case is reviewed and analyzed using the Routh-Huriwitz approach. The factors on the steady state solution of the various parameters are recognized and discussed. Simulation effects are obtained using MATLAB software package. Different response curves are involved to show and compare controller effects at various system parameters.

We investigate modeling the dynamics of an electrostatically actuated resonator using the perturbation method of multiple time scales (MTS). First, we discuss two approaches to treat the nonlinear parallel-plate electrostatic force in the equation of motion and their impact on the application of MTS: expanding the force in Taylor series and multiplying both sides of the equation with the denominator of the forcing term. Considering a spring–mass–damper system excited electrostatically near primary resonance, it is concluded that, with consistent truncation of higher-order terms, both techniques yield same modulation equations. Then, we consider the problem of an electrostatically actuated resonator under simultaneous superharmonic and primary resonance excitation and derive a comprehensive analytical solution using MTS. The results of the analytical solution are compared against the numerical results obtained by long-time integration of the equation of motion. It is demonstrated that along with the direct excitation components at the excitation frequency and twice of that, higher-order parametric terms should also be included. Finally, the contributions of primary and superharmonic resonance toward the overall response of the resonator are examined.

Multiple time scales technique has long been an important method for the analysis of weakly nonlinear systems. In this technique, a set of multiple time scales are introduced that serve as the independent variables. The evolution of state variables at slower time scales is then determined so as to make the expansions for solutions in a perturbation scheme uniform in natural and slower times. Normal form theory has also recently been used to approximate the dynamics of weakly nonlinear systems. This theory provides a way of finding a coordinate system in which the dynamical system takes the “simplest” form. This is achieved by constructing a series of near-identity nonlinear transformations that make the nonlinear systems as simple as possible. The “simplest” differential equations obtained by the normal form theory are topologically equivalent to the original systems. Both methods can be interpreted as nonlinear perturbations of linear differential equations. In this work, the equivalence of these two methods for constructing periodic solutions is proven, and it is explained why some studies have found the results obtained by the two techniques to be inconsistent.

The rotor-active magnetic bearing system subjected to a periodically time-varying stiffness having quadratic and cubic nonlinearities is studied and solved. The multiple time scale technique is applied to solve the nonlinear differential equations governing the system up to the second order approximation. All possible resonance cases are deduced at this approximation and some of them are confirmed by applying the Rung–Kutta method. The main attention is focused on the stability of the steady-state solution near the simultaneous principal resonance and the effects of different parameters on the steady-state response. A comparison is made with the available published work.

The paper presents the study of non-stationary oscillations, which is based on extension of Lindstedt-Poincare (EL-P) method with multiple time scales for non-linear dynamical systems with cubic non-linearities. The generalization of the method is presented to discover the passage of weakly nonlinear systems through the resonance as a control or excitation parameter varies slowly across points of instabilities corresponding to the appearance of bifurcations. The method is applied to obtain non-stationary resonance curves of transition across points of instabilities during the passage through primary resonance of harmonically excited oscillators of Duffing type.

The nonlinear response of a parametrically excited cantilevered beam is experimentally investigated and nonlinear system identification techniques are used to generate nonlinear modal models to explain the observed behavior. Three techniques are applied to data from simulation of a nonlinear single-mode model as well as from experiments, for a beam which is excited with stationary harmonic input at nearly twice the frequency of the beam’s second mode. The first technique is based on the continuous-time differential equation model of the system, the second uses relationships generated by the method of harmonic balance, and the third is based on fitting steady-state response data to steady-state amplitude and phase predictions resulting from a multiple time scales analysis. Each approach is successful when applied to identify models from simulation data. For the experimental data obtained from a beam under nominally identical conditions, difficulties with using higher harmonic information lead to the incorporation of nonlinear damping terms and an investigation of two-mode behavior. Simulated two-mode behavior demonstrates how the beam’s third mode, with natural frequency nearly three times the frequency of the second mode, is excited in the physical structure, thus explaining the mismatch between the previous model and experiment at the third harmonic in the beam’s response.
