The stability of a linear, elastic, circulatory system with two independent loading parameters is studied in general terms. The basic properties of the stability boundary are investigated and several theorems are established. It is shown that for a two-degree-of-freedom system which is capable of flutter instability the stability boundary is always convex toward the region of stability, in direct contrast with systems which cannot exhibit flutter. The practical significance of this result in obtaining lower and upper-bound estimates of the stability boundary is emphasized, and three illustrative examples are presented.

Increasing Load

Free motions of a linear elastic, nondissipative, two-degree-of-freedom system, subjected to a static nonconservative loading, are analyzed with the aim of studying the connection between the two instability mechanisms (termed divergence and flutter by analogy to aeroelastic phenomena) known to be possible for such systems. An independent parameter is introduced to reflect the ratio of the conservative and nonconservative components of the loading. Depending on the value of this parameter, instability is found to occur for compressive loadings by divergence (static buckling), flutter, or by both (at different loads) with multiple stable and unstable ranges of the load. In the latter case either type of instability may be the first to occur with increasing load. For a range of the parameter, divergence (only) is found to occur for tensile loads. Regardless of the non-conservativeness of the system, the critical loads for divergence can always be determined by the (static) Euler method. The critical loads for flutter (occurring only in nonconservative systems) can be determined, of course, by the kinetic method alone.

The Stability

1. Introduction and Summary. —This paper deals with the elastic stability of a circular annular plate under uniform shearing forces applied at its edges. Investigations of the stability of plane plates are altogether simpler than those necessary in the case of curved plates or shells. In the first place, as shown by Mr. R. V. Southwell, two of the three equations of stability relate to a mode of instability that is not of practical interest, and are entirely independent of the third equation which gives the ordinary mode of instability resulting in the familiar bending of the middle surface of the plate. Consequently with a plane plate there is only one equation of stability to be solved, as contrasted with the case of a shell where the three equations are dependent, and must all be solved. In the second place the theory of thin shells can be used with confidence in a plane plate problem, though a more laborious procedure is necessary to deal adequately with a shell. The only stability equation required for the annular plate is therefore deduced without trouble from the theory of thin shells, and its solution presents no difficulty in the case of uniform shearing forces. A numerical discussion is given of the stability of the plate under such forces, the “favourite type of distortion” and the stess that will produce it being obtained for plates with clamped edges in wich the ratio of the outer to the inner radius exceeds 3·2. To some extent to results have been checked by experiment, in which part of the work the viter is indebted to Prof. G. I. Taylor for his valuable help and advice. Distrtion of the type predicted by the theory took place in the two thin plates of rober different ratio of radii, which were used. The disposition of the loci of points which undergo maximum normal displace nt gives some idea of the appearance of the plate after distortion has taken pce. The points have been calculated for a plate in which the ratio of radii 4·18, and the loci are shown on a diagram, which may be compared with a potograph of a distorted plate in which this ratio is 4·3. The ratio of normal dplacements of points of the plate can be seen from contours drawn on the ne diagram. (See pp. 280, 281.)

Oscillatory Instabilities

The stability of nonlinear tertiary solutions in rotating plane Couette flow is examined numerically. It is found that the tertiary flows, which bifurcate from two-dimensional streamwise vortex flows, are stable within a certain range of the rotation rate when the Reynolds number is relatively small. The stability boundary is determined by perturbations which are subharmonic in the streamwise direction. As the Reynolds number is increased, the rotation range for the stable tertiary motions is destroyed gradually by oscillatory instabilities. We expect that the tertiary flow is overtaken by time-dependent motions for large Reynolds numbers. The results are compared with the recent experimental observation by Tillmark & Alfredsson (1996).

Two Degree Of Freedom

This paper presents a method for analyzing a pair of coupled nonlinear differential equations of the Duffing type in order to determine whether linearly related modal oscillations of the system are possible. The system has two masses, a coupling spring and two anchor springs. For the systems studied, the anchor springs are symmetric but the masses are not. The method requires the solution of a polynomial of fourth degree which reduces to a quadratic because of the symmetric springs. The roots are a function of the spring constants. When a particular set of spring constants is chosen, roots can be found which are then used to set the necessary mass ratio for linear modal oscillations. Limits on the ranges of spring-constant ratios for real roots and positive-mass ratios are given. A general stability analysis is presented with expressions for the stability in terms of the spring constants and masses. Two specific examples are given.

The control system performance requirement was divided into three parts. They were the stability, rapidity and accuracy. The time-frequency domain analysis in the requirements of three performance were measured through quantitative performance index. The mutual restriction of time-frequency performance and system characteristic parameters of normal second order was discussed. The correlation of system time-frequency performance index was established. The relationship between time-frequency performance indexes in standard two order system was extended to higher order system. The mutually constraining and time-frequency correlation between each performance index was obtained by analysis and calculation. The work had been done above had practical significance to reflect the system dynamic performance in different analytical domains.

Two Degree Of Freedom

The stability of periodic motions (nonlinear normal modes) in a nonlinear two-degree-of-freedom Hamiltonian system is studied by deriving an approximation for the Poincare´ map via the Birkhoff-Gustavson canonical transofrmation. This method is presented as an alternative to the usual linearized stability analysis based on Floquet theory. An example is given for which the Floquet theory approach fails to predict stability but for which the Poincare´ map approach succeeds.

The Stability

Abstract Nonstationary response of a two-degrees-of-freedom system with quadratic coupling under a time varying modulated amplitude sinusoidal excitation is studied. The nonlinearly coupled pitch and roll ship model is based on Nayfeh, Mook and Marshall’s work for the case of stationary excitation. The ship model has a 2:1 internal resonance and is excited near the resonance of the pitch mode. The modulated excitation (F0 + F1 cos ωt) cosQt is used to model a narrow band sea-wave excitation. The response demonstrates a variety of bifurcations, loss of stability, and chaos phenomena that are not present in the stationary case. We consider here the periodically modulated response. Chaotic response of the system is discussed in a separate paper. Several approximate solutions, under both small and large modulating amplitudes F1, are obtained and compared with the exact one. The stability of an exact solution with one mode having zero amplitude is studied. Loss of stability in this case involves either a rapid transition from one of two stable (in the stationary sense) branches to another, or a period doubling bifurcation. From Floquet theory, various stability boundary diagrams are obtained in F1 and F0 parameter space which can be used to predict the various transition phenomena and the period-2 bifurcations. The study shows that both the modulation parameters F1 and ω (the modulating frequency) have great effect on the stability boundaries. Because of the modulation, the stable area is greatly expanded, and the stationary bifurcation point can be exceeded without loss of stability. Decreasing ω can make the stability boundary very complicated. For very small ω the response can make periodic transitions between the two (pseudo) stable solutions.

Στην παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή διερευνάται η γραμμική και μη γραμμική ελαστική ευστάθεια ράβδων διαμέσου θεωριών δοκού ανώτερης τάξης. Προκειμένου να υλοποιηθεί αυτό, το πρώτο βήμα της παρούσας διδακτορικής διατριβής είναι η εξέταση του στρεπτοκαμπτικού λυγισμού σύμμικτων δοκών λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τα φαινόμενα της στρέβλωσης (εκτός επιπέδου παραμόρφωση) και την διατμητικής υστέρησης (διαφοροποίηση της κλασσικής κατανομής ορθών τάσεων) λόγω κάμψης και στρέψης. Στο δεύτερο βήμα της παρούσας διδακτορικής διατριβής, μορφώνεται το πρόβλημα της γραμμικής κα μη γραμμικής στατικής ανάλυσης ομογενών δοκών λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τα φαινόμενα της αξονικής στρέβλωσης και της διαστρέβλωσης (εντός επιπέδου παραμόρφωση) επιπρόσθετα σε εκείνα λόγω της καμπτικής και στρεπτικής συμπεριφοράς της δοκού διαμέσου του σχήματος διαδοχικής ισορροπίας που υιοθετείται (πλεονεκτήματα έναντι προβλημάτων ιδιοτιμών). Κύριο τμήμα του δεύτερου βήματος αποτελεί η διατύπωση, η αρχικοποίηση και η επίλυση των προβλημάτων συνοριακών τιμών που αφορούν στον υπολογισμό των αξονικών μορφών στρέβλωσης και διαστρέβλωσης διαμέσου του σχήματος διαδοχικής ισορροπίας. Στο προτελευταίο βήμα της παρούσας διδακτορικής διατριβής, οι προηγούμενα αναπτυγμένες αξονικές μορφές στρέβλωσης και διαστρέβλωσης μαζί με τις αντίστοιχες καμπτικές και στρεπτικές χρησιμοποιούνται προκειμένου να μορφωθεί και να επιλυθεί το πρόβλημα της γραμμικής ελαστικής ευστάθειας δοκών. Στο τελευταίο βήμα της παρούσας διδακτορικής διατριβής, διεξάγεται μη γραμμική ανάλυση λαμβάνοντας υπόψη τα φαινόμενα της στρέβλωσης και της διαστρέβλωσης λόγω αξονικής, διατμητικής, καμπτικής και στρεπτικής δομικής συμπεριφοράς και πραγματοποιείται σύγκριση με τα αντίστοιχα αποτελέσματα που λαμβάνονται στην περίπτωση όπου λαμβάνεται υπόψη μόνο η στρέβλωση και η διατμητική υστέρηση λόγω κάμψης και στρέψης. Αξίζει να σημειωθεί ότι σε όλες τις παραπάνω περιπτώσεις η διατομή της δοκού είναι τυχούσα, ενώ ο λόγος του Poisson λαμβάνεται υπόψη στον υπολογισμό των αξονικών, καμπτικών και στρεπτικών μορφών στρέβλωσης και διαστρέβλωσης. Στην παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή χρησιμοποιούνται δύο αριθμητικές μέθοδοι. Η πρώτη είναι η μέθοδος των συνοριακών στοιχείων που χρησιμοποιείται για την επίλυση των προβλημάτων συνοριακών τιμών που αφορούν στον υπολογισμό των αξονικών, καμπτικών και στρεπτικών μορφών στρέβλωσης και διαστρέβλωσης και των γεωμετρικών σταθερών. Η δεύτερη μέθοδος είναι η μέθοδος των πεπερασμένων στοιχείων που χρησιμοποιείται για τη διακριτοποίηση των και την επίλυση των καθολικών εξισώσεων ισορροπίας της δοκού. Στη βάση των αναλυτικών και αριθμητικών μεθόδων που παρουσιάζονται στην παρούσα διδακτορική διατριβή έχουν γραφτεί προγράμματα σε FORTRAN 90/95 και έχουν μελετηθεί αντιπροσωπευτικά αριθμητικά παραδείγματα. Επιπρόσθετα, έχουν γραφτεί scripts σε MATLAB προκειμένου να ερμηνευθούν τα αποτελέσματα διαμέσου δισδιάστατων και τρισδιάστατων γραφημάτων της δοκού. Η ακρίβεια και η αξιοπιστία των προτεινόμενων μεθόδων επιβεβαιώνονται μέσω αριθμητικών παραδειγμάτων που αντλούνται από τη βιβλιογραφία και αποτελεσμάτων που εξάγονται από αναλύσεις τρισδιάστατων και επιφανειακών πεπερασμένων στοιχείων.
