An important question facing a designer is whether a certain machine system will have a stable operating condition. To date, the investigations which deal with this question have been scarce. This study treats an elastic two-degree-of-freedom system with position-dependent inertia and external forcing. In Part I, the nonlinear equations of motion are derived and linearized about the system’s steady-state rigid-body response. The stability of the linearized equations is examined using Floquet theory, and a computationally efficient method for approximating the monodromy matrix is presented. A specific example is proposed and the results are presented in Part II of this paper.

In this paper, the equations developed in a companion paper (Part I) are adapted for use in developing stability charts. The nonlinear equations of motion were developed for a two-degree-of-freedom machine system in torsional vibration. Eigenvalues of the monodromy matrix, called Floquet multipliers, facilitate the examination of the solution to the linearized equations of motion. Two methods for producing the stability charts are presented here. A single-cylinder internal combustion engine is used as an example and sample results are included.

This paper presents a method for analyzing the stability of the linearly related modes of nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom oscillatory systems. For systems described by the coupled equations x¨1 = f(x1, x2) and x¨2 = g(x1, x2) there exist solutions related by the linear modal restraint x1 = cx2 where c is a constant. Such oscillations are not always stable. The method of this paper allows the prediction of the stability of the modes in terms of the amplitudes of the oscillations and the parameters of the equations of motion. Analog-computer results are presented which confirm the theoretical predictions.

Abstract The natural modes of free vibrations of a symmetrical two-degree-of-freedom system are analyzed theoretically and experimentally. This system has two natural modes, one in-phase and the other out-of-phase. In contradistinction to the comparable single-degree-of-freedom system where the free vibrations are always orbitally stable, the natural modes of the symmetrical two-degree-of-freedom system are frequently unstable. The stability properties depend on two parameters and are easily deduced from a stability chart. For sufficiently small amplitudes both modes are, in general, stable. When the coupling spring is linear, both modes are always stable at all amplitudes. For other conditions, either mode may become unstable at certain amplitudes. In particular, if there is a single value of frequency and amplitude at which the system can vibrate in either mode, the out-of-phase mode experiences a change of stability. The experimental investigation has generally confirmed the theoretical predictions.

An analysis on nonlinear dynamic of a cantilevered functionally graded materials (FGM) plate which subjected to the transverse excitation in the uniform thermal environment is presented for the first time. Materials properties of the constituents are graded in the thickness direction according to a power-law distribution and assumed to be temperature dependent. In the framework of the Third-order shear deformation plate theory, the nonlinear governing equations of motion for the functionally graded materials plate are derived by using the Hamilton’s principle. For cantilever rectangular plate, the first two vibration mode shapes that satisfy the boundary conditions is given. The Galerkin’s method is utilized to discretize the governing equations of motion to a two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system under combined thermal and external excitations. By using the numerical method, the two-degree-of-freedom nonlinear system is analyzed to find the nonlinear responses of the cantilever FGMs plate. The influences of the thermal environments on the nonlinear dynamic response of the cantilevered FGM plate are discussed in detail through a parametric study.

The nonlinear equations of motion for a railway vehicle wheelset having curved wheel profiles and wheel-flange/rail contact are presented. The dependence of axle roll and vertical displacement on lateral displacement and yaw is formulated by two holonomic constraint equations. The method of Krylov-Bogoliubov is used to derive expressions for the amplitudes of stationary oscillations. A perturbation analysis is then used to derive conditions for the stability characteristics of the stationary oscillations. The expressions for the amplitude and the stability conditions are shown to have a simple geometrical interpretation which facilitates the evaluation of the effects of design parameters on the motion. It is shown that flange clearance and the nonlinear variation of axle roll with lateral displacement significantly influence the motion of the wheelset. Stationary oscillations may occur at forward speeds both below and above the critical speed at which a linear analysis predicts the onset of instability.

The stability of grazing bifurcation is lost in three ways through the local analysis of the near-grazing dynamics using the classical concept of discontinuity mappings in the two-degree-of-freedom vibroimpact system with symmetrical constraints. For this instability problem, a control strategy for the stability of grazing bifurcation is presented by controlling the persistence of local attractors near the grazing trajectory in this vibroimpact system with symmetrical constraints. Discrete-in-time feedback controllers designed on two Poincare sections are employed to retain the existence of an attractor near the grazing trajectory. The implementation relies on the stability criterion under which a local attractor persists near a grazing trajectory. Based on the stability criterion, the control region of the two parameters is obtained and the control strategy for the persistence of near-grazing attractors is designed accordingly. Especially, the chaos near codimension-two grazing bifurcation points was controlled by the control strategy. In the end, the results of numerical simulation are used to verify the feasibility of the control method.

The stability of the high-speed running vehicle subjected to seismic excitations considering passengers' dynamics are considered. A vehicle consists of one body, two trucks and four wheel sets. A passenger is modeled by simple two degree of freedom vibration system. The equations of motion of the vehicle and passengers are calculated by Lagrangian equation of motion. Combining two models, the behavior of the vehicle subjected to actual seismic input considering passengers' dynamics are calculated by numerical simulation. The stability of the vehicle is evaluated by using the risk rate of rollover. We investigate the possibility of the rollover of the vehicle. We focus on the effect of the dynamic characteristics of the human and the number of the passengers when the vehicle is subjected to the seismic excitation.

In this paper the incremental harmonic balance method is used to calculate periodic vibrations of nonlinear autonomous multip-degree-of-freedom systems. According to Floquet theory, the stability of a periodic solution is checked by evaluating the eigenvalues of the monodromy matrix. Using the programme MAPLE, the authors have studied the periodic vibrations of the system multi-degree van der Pol form.

Abstract In this paper, period-1 motions in a two-degree-of-freedom, nonlinear, machine-tool system are investigated by a semi-analytical method. The stability and bifurcations of the period-1 motions are discussed from the eigenvalue analysis. A condition is presented for the tool-and-workpiece separation in period-1 motions. Machine-tool vibrations varying with displacement disturbance from a workpiece are discussed. Numerical simulations of period-1 motions are completed from analytical predictions.


In this chapter the theoretical equations for fluctuating pressures due to vertical and streamwise gate motions developed in Chapters 4 and 5 are used to derive equations of motion for long-span gates with underflow, overflow and simultaneous over- and underflow. Theoretical development of analysis methods is supported by laboratory and full-scale measurements. Specifically, this chapter considers long-span gate instabilities including one degree-of-freedom vibration of gates with underflow and free discharge, one degree-of-freedom vibration of a gate with submerged discharge and vortex shedding excitation, a two degree-of-freedom vibration of long-span gates with only underflow, and two degrees-of-freedom vibration of long-span gates with simultaneous over and underflow. A method is developed to predict pressure loading on the crest of the gate with overflow.
