An analysis of the dynamic response of an elastically supported two-degree-of-freedom rigid circular disk excited by a moving massive load is presented. The equations of motion of the system are solved by transforming a set of coupled Hill-Mathieu equations into an ordinary eigenvalue problem. Two types of system instability are observed. A stiffness instability region exists above the critical speed of the disk and a terminal instability region exists for all load speeds exceeding a certain limiting value. The introduction of viscous damping may destabilize the system.

The non-linear torsional oscillation of the system is analyzed by means of a variant of Kryloff and Bogoliuboff’s method. It is shown that each mode of the system can perform oscillations of large amplitude in a number of critical speed ranges, and that hysteresis effects and discontinuous jumps in amplitude are to be expected in these speed ranges if the damping is light.

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 self-compensating dynamic balancer (SCDB) is composed of a circular disk with a groove containing ball and a low viscosity damping fluid. The equations of motion of the rotating system with SCDB were derived by the Lagrangian method. To consider dynamic stability of the motion, perturbation equations were investigated. Based on the results of stability investigation, ball positions that result in a balanced system are stable above the critical speed with small damping (β′>3.8 case). At critical speed the perturbed motion is said to be stable for large damping (β′>2.3 case). However, below critical speed the balls cannot stabilize the system in any case.


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.

This paper investigates the vibration control of a towerlike structure with degrees of freedom utilizing a square or nearly square tuned liquid damper (TLD) when the structure is subjected to horizontal, harmonic excitation. In the theoretical analysis, when the two natural frequencies of the two-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) structure nearly equal those of the two predominant sloshing modes, the tuning condition, 1:1:1:1, is nearly satisfied. Galerkin's method is used to derive the modal equations of motion for sloshing. The nonlinearity of the hydrodynamic force due to sloshing is considered in the equations of motion for the 2DOF structure. Linear viscous damping terms are incorporated into the modal equations to consider the damping effect of sloshing. Van der Pol's method is employed to determine the expressions for the frequency response curves. The influences of the excitation frequency, the tank installation angle, and the aspect ratio of the tank cross section on the response curves are examined. The theoretical results show that whirling motions and amplitude-modulated motions (AMMs), including chaotic motions, may occur in the structure because swirl motions and Hopf bifurcations, followed by AMMs, appear in the tank. It is also found that a square TLD works more effectively than a conventional rectangular TLD, and its performance is further improved when the tank width is slightly increased and the installation angle is equal to zero. Experiments were conducted in order to confirm the validity of the theoretical results.

Shape memory and pseudoelastic effects are thermomechanical phenomena associated with martensitic phase transformations, presented by shape memory alloys. The dynamical analysis of intelligent systems that use shape memory actuators involves a multi-degree of freedom system. This contribution concerns with the chaotic response of shape memory systems. Two different systems are considered: a single and a two-degree of freedom oscillator. Equations of motion are formulated assuming a polynomial constitutive model to describe the restitution force of oscillators. Since equations of motion of the two-degree of freedom oscillator are associated with a five-dimensional system, the analysis is performed considering two oscillators, both with single-degree of freedom, connected by a spring-dashpot system. With this assumption, it is possible to analyze the transmissibility of motion between two oscillators. Results show some relation between the transmissibility of order, chaos and hyperchaos with temperature.

The gain scheduling of a multivariable controller designed using H∞ optimization is presented. The design uses a two-degree-of-freedom H∞ optimization based on five linearizations taken from the non-linear rigid body equations of motion of a helicopter over the range 0–80 knots. The scheduled controller's parameters were computed on-line by linear interpolation with air speed of the design parameter sets. The resulting controller schedule was tested using a sophisticated and representative nonlinear simulation.

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.

Abstract Recent advances in the study of dynamics of multibody systems indicate the need for decoupling of the equations of motion. In this paper, our efforts are focused on this issue, and we have tried to expand the existing methods for multi-rigid body systems to include systems with some kind of flexibility. In this regard, the equations of motion for a planar two-degree-of-freedom robot with flexible joints is carried out using Lagrange’s equations and Kane’s equations with congruency transformations. The method of decoupling the equations of motion using Kane’s equations with congruency transformations is presented. Finally, the results obtained from both methods are compared.
