The Stability

The torsional vibration of moving bands subject to harmonic tension fluctuation is investigated. A thin rectangular strip translating longitudinally with a constant speed and simply supported at its end is considered. The linearized equation of motion, when suitably discretized, represents a linear gyroscopic system with periodically varying stiffness. The stability of the trivial solution of this system of equations, for tension fluctuations of small amplitude, is examined using the method of averaging. Analytic conditions for stability of torsional motion are obtained explicitly and shown graphically in the frequency vs excitation parameter space.

The Stability

The stability of a long, thin elastic strip hanging vertically in a downward flowing airstream was considered. Experimentally it was observed that the strip remained essentially motionless or at most developed a small amplitude bounded oscillation as the air speed was increased until a critical speed was attained beyond which violent oscillations of the free-ended strip occurred. A linear approximate analysis was performed for this problem which accounted for shape-induced lift and bending stiffness of the strip and which closely predicted critical air speeds for this instability. The critical air speed was studied as a function of the length, width, and thickness of the rectangular strip.

The linear stability of compressible plane Couette flow is investigated. The appropriate basic velocity and temperature distributions are perturbed by a small-amplitude normal-mode disturbance. The full small-amplitude disturbance equations are solved numerically at finite Reynolds numbers, and the inviscid limit of these equations is then investigated in some detail. It is found that instabilities can occur, although the corresponding growth rates are often quite small; the stability characteristics of the flow are quite different from unbounded flows. The effects of viscosity are also calculated, asymptotically, and shown to have a stabilizing role in all the cases investigated. Exceptional regimes to the problem occur when the wave speed of the disturbances approaches the velocity of either of the walls, and these regimes are also analysed in some detail. Finally, the effect of imposing radiation-type boundary conditions on the upper (moving) wall (in place of impermeability) is investigated, and shown to yield results common to both bounded and unbounded flows.

Abstract The transverse vibrating motion of a simple beam with one end fixed while driven harmonically along its axial direction from the other end is investigated. For a special case of zero value for the rigidity of the beam, the system reduces to that of a vibrating string with the corresponding equation of its motion. The sufficient condition for the periodic solution of the beam is then derived by means of the Green’s function and Schauder’s fixed point theorem. The criteria for the stability of the system is well defined and the condition for which the performance of the beam behaves as a nonlinear function is stated.

Abstract The problem of a line load along a segment of a generator of a simply supported circular cylindrical shell is treated using shallow cylindrical shell equations which include the effect of transverse-shear deformation. The line load is first treated as a sinusoidally-varying edge load over the length of the shell, with boundary conditions prescribed along the loaded generator such that the continuity of the shell is maintained. The solution for the problem of a uniform line load over a segment of a generator is obtained from the preceding solution, using the principle of superposition. By means of a numerical example it is shown that the results predicted by the Donnell equations for the stresses are in excellent agreement with those obtained from the system of equations employed here. However, the radial displacement predicted by the Donnell equations is in error by as much as 20 per cent in the range of shell geometry considered.

The Stability

The equation of motion of a long slender beam submerged in an infinite fluid moving with constant speed is derived using Hamilton’s principle. The upstream end of the beam is pinned and the downstream end is free to move. The resulting equation of motion is then used to perform the stability analysis of a string, i.e., a beam with negligible bending stiffness. It is found that the string is stable if (a) the external tension at the free end exceeds the value of a U2, where a is the “added mass” of the string and U the fluid speed; or (b) the length-over-diameter ratio exceeds the value 2Cf/π, where Cf is the frictional coefficient of the string.

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for a system of Rayleigh-Stokes equations. In this system of equations, we use derivatives in the classical Riemann-Liouville sense. This system has many applications in some non-Newtonian fluids. We obtained results for the existence, uniqueness, and frequency of the solution. We discuss the stability of the solutions and find the solution spaces. Our main technique is to use the Banach mapping theorem combined with some techniques in Fourier analysis.

Abstract The present study generalises previous research work on the dynamics of discrete oscillators with piecewise linear characteristics and investigates the response of a continuous model system with clearance and motion-limiting constraints. More specifically, in the first part of this work, an analysis is presented for determining exact periodic response of a periodically excited deformable rod, whose motion is constrained by a flexible obstacle. This methodology is based on the exact solution form obtained within response intervals where the system parameters remain constant and its behavior is governed by a linear equation of motion. The unknowns of the problem are subsequently determined by imposing an appropriate set of periodicity and matching conditions. The analytical part is complemented by a suitable method for determining the stability properties of the located periodic motions. In the second part of the study, the analysis is applied to several cases in order to investigate the effect of the system parameters on its dynamics. Special emphasis is placed on comparing these results with results obtained for similar but rigid rods. Finally, direct integration of the equation of motion in selected areas reveals the existence of motions, which are more complicated than the periodic motions determined analytically.

The existence and stability of subharmonic oscillations in a two end-fixed fluid conveying pipe whose base is subjected to a harmonic excitation are investigated. A Galerkin approach is utilized to reduce the equation of motion to a second order nonlinear differential equation. The conditions for the existence of subharmonic oscillations are given by using Melnikov method. The stability of subharmonic oscillations is discussed in detail by using action-angle variable and averaging method. It is shown that the velocity of fluid plays an important role in the stability of subharmonic oscillations.

The numerical study of the dynamics of two-dimensional capillary-gravity solitary waves on a linear shear current is presented in this paper. The numerical method is based on the time-dependent conformal mapping. The stability of different kinds of solitary waves is considered. Both depression wave and large amplitude elevation wave are found to be stable, while small amplitude elevation wave is unstable to the small perturbation, and it finally evolves to be a depression wave with tails, which is similar to the irrotational capillary-gravity waves.

Input Load

In this paper, vibration problems of a simply-supported elastic beam subjected to randomly spaced moving loads with a uniform speed are treated under the assumption that the input load sequence is a Poisson process. In the case in which the inertial effect of moving loads is taken into account, the stability problem relating to the speed and the mass of loads is dealt with, considering the inertia force, the centrifugal force, and the Coriolis force of the moving loads. As an analytical result a stability chart of the mean-squared deflection was obtained for the moving speed and the moving masses.
