State Responses

The steady-state responses to a point load moving with constant velocity on an elastic beam which rests on two types of idealized strain-hardening foundations are considered. The one-dimensional elastic-rigid foundation problem is shown to be equivalent to an elastic foundation with two traveling point loads. The opposing loads produce deflections which remain bounded for all load velocities and less than the corresponding elastic foundation results. The deflections of a one-dimensional elastic-perfectly plastic foundation are shown to be bounded for all load velocities. However, deflections significantly larger than the corresponding elastic foundation results occur over a wide range of velocities which are less than the elastic foundation critical velocity.

AbstractAuditory steady-state responses (ASSRs) are evoked brain responses to modulated or repetitive acoustic stimuli. Due to a wide range of clinical and research applications, there is a great (clinical) interest to investigate the underlying neural generators of ASSRs. The cortical sources of ASSRs mostly are located in the auditory cortex (AC), although some studies avoiding prior assumptions regarding the number and location of the sources have also reported activity of sources outside of the AC. However, little is known about the number and location of these sources. In this study, we present a novel extension to minimum-norm imaging (MNI) which facilitates ASSR source reconstruction and provides a comprehensive and consistent picture of sources in response to low- as well as high modulation frequencies, monaurally presented to the left and right ears.Results demonstrate that the proposed MNI approach is successful in reconstructing sources located both within (primary) and outside (non-primary) of the AC. The locations of the non-primary sources are consistent with the literature. Primary sources are detected in every experimental condition, thereby corroborating the robustness of the approach. Moreover, we show that the MNI approach is capable of reconstructing the subcortical activities of ASSRs. In summary, the results indicate that the MNI approach outperforms the previously used method of group-ICA, in terms of detection of sources in the AC, reconstructing the subcortical activities and reducing computational load.

In this paper, transient three-dimensional response of a transversely isotropic composite plate to a time varying point load is efficiently computed by reducing the elastodynamic equation through integral and coordinate transformations to a series of two-dimensional problems, each associated with a plane wave along a given direction in the plate. Discrete equations of a semi-analytical finite element model are solved for the thickness profile eigendata at a given frequency. Three-dimensional steady state responses in the wave number domain are formed by summing contributions from eigenmodes over propagation directions. The transient response is obtained by a numerical integration of inverse Fourier time transform of these steady state responses. Present results showed good agreement with data reported in the literature and confirmed previously observed phenomena.

State Responses

This paper investigates the steady-state responses of a rotor system supported by auxiliary bearings in which there is a clearance between the rotor and the inner race of the bearing. A simulation model based upon the rotor of a production jet engine is developed and its steady-state behavior is explored over a wide range of operating conditions for various parametric configurations. Specifically, the influence of rotor imbalance, clearance, support stiffness and damping is studied. Bifurcation diagrams are used as a tool to examine the dynamic behavior of this system as a function of the aforementioned parameters. The harmonic balance method is also employed for synchronous response cases. The observed dynamical responses is discussed and some insights into the behavior of such systems are presented.

A new spatial and temporal incremental harmonic balanced (STIHB) method is developed for obtaining steady-state responses of a one-dimensional continuous system. In the STIHB method, Galerkin procedure for a governing partial differential equation (PDE) in the spatial coordinate to obtain a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) and the harmonic balance procedure for the set of ODEs in the temporal coordinate to obtain the harmonic balanced residual are combined to be Galerkin procedures for the PDE in the spatial and temporal coordinates to simultaneously obtain the spatial and temporal harmonic balanced residual, and integrations in Galerkin procedures are replaced by the fast discrete sine transform (DST) or fast discrete cosine transform (DCT) in the spatial coordinate and the fast Fouriour transform (FFT) in the temporal coordinate, which is referred to as a DST-FFT or DCT-FFT procedure. The harmonic balanced residual for an arbitrary second-order PDE can be automatically and efficiently obtained by a computer program when the expression of the PDE is given, where numbers of basis functions in the spatial and temporal coordinates can be arbitrarily selected and no more extra derivations are needed. There are two versions of the STIHB method. In the simple version, the DST-FFT or DCT-FFT procedure to calculate the harmonic balanced residual and Broyden’s method that is a quasi-Newton method are combined to find solutions that make the residual vanish, which can be used to construct steady-state solutions of the PDE. In the complex version, the exact Jacobian matrix is derived and used in Newton-Raphson method to achieve faster convergence. While its derivation is complex, the exact Jacobian matrix for the arbitrary PDE can be automatically and efficiently obtained by following a calculation routine when the linearized expression of the PDE is given, and it can be easily implemented by a computer program. The exact Jacobian matrix can also be used to study stability of steady-state responses, where no more extra derivations are needed. The STIHB method is demonstrated by studying the transverse vibration of a string with geometric nonlinearity; its frequency-response curves with weak and strong nonlinearities and different numbers of trial functions are calculated, and stability of solutions on the curves is studied.
