Mathematical Relations

A mathematical model representing the transverse vibration of axially moving elastic strings is presented considering tension and mass variation. A suggested numerical scheme was successfully used to solve the nonlinear partial differential equations of motion. For axially nonmoving strings, the effect of initial amplitudes, and consequently the tension variation on the fundamental frequency is obtained. Also, the effect of the initial tension and the mass of the string per unit length on the fundamental frequency and their corresponding mathematical relations are presented. For axially moving strings, the effect of the axial velocity on the fundamental frequency as well as the tension distribution along the thread is given. Also the behavior of the string at velocities equal and greater than the wave speed is shown.

Linear Period

The free, nonlinear, fundamental period of transverse oscillation of axially moving strips (e.g., tapes, fibers, belts, and band saws) is determined by the approximate solution of two, coupled, nonlinear, partial differential equations. One equation describes longitudinal motion and the other transverse motion. A solution method is developed that permits accurate and efficient period calculations. The results indicate that the existence of the axial transport velocity reduces the fundamental period of oscillation and increases the relative importance of the nonlinear terms in the equations of motion. In many cases of practical interest the linear analysis is shown to be seriously in error and one may be led to erroneous conclusions because of its limited range of applicability. Curves are presented that assist one to estimate the accuracy of the linear period calculation.

Axially Moving

The geometrically nonlinear dynamics of a three-dimensional axially moving beam is investigated numerically for both sub and supercritical regimes. Hamilton’s principle is employed to derive the equations of motion for in-plane and out-of plane displacements. The Galerkin scheme is applied to the nonlinear partial differential equations of motion yielding a set of second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations with coupled terms. The pseudo-arclength continuation technique is employed to solve the discretized equations numerically so as to obtain the nonlinear resonant responses; direct time integration is conducted to obtain the bifurcation diagrams of the system. The results are presented in the form of the frequency-response curves, bifurcation diagrams, time histories, phase-plane portraits, and fast Fourier transforms for different sets of system parameters.

Abstract In previous work, Mockensturm and Mote (1999) investigated the effects of twist on steady motions of an axially moving plate. It was found that twisting produces compressive stresses that increase with twist, aspect ratio, and initial, longitudinal tension. In this work, we study the effects of the stresses and non-flat equilibrium produced by twist on the free response. To accomplish this, the equations of motion are linearized about the equilibrium configuration, yielding a set of three, coupled, linear partial differential equations. The equations are discretized and the free response is predicted from the resulting discrete eigenvalue problem. As a function of twist angle, the natural frequencies first increase and then decrease rapidly to zero as the compressive lateral stresses become sufficiently large to cause wrinkling. The effects of thickness, aspect ratio, and initial tension on natural frequencies are also studied.

Transverse Response

This study presented the transverse vibration of an axially moving beam with an intermediate nonlinear viscoelastic foundation. Hamilton’s principle was used to derive the nonlinear equations of motion. The finite difference and state-space methods transform the partial differential equations into a system of coupled first-order regular differential equations. The numerical modeling procedures are utilized for evaluating the effects of parameters, such as axial translation velocity, flexure rigidities of the beam, damping, and stiffness of the support on the transverse response amplitude and frequencies. It is observed that the dimensionless fundamental frequency and magnitude of axial speed had an inverse correlation. Furthermore, increasing the flexure rigidity of the beam reduced the transverse displacement, but at the same instant, fundamental frequency rises. Vibration amplitude is found to be significantly reduced with higher damping of support. It is also observed that an increase in the foundation damping leads to lower fundamental frequencies, whereas increasing the foundation stiffness results in higher frequencies.

Abstract Presented in this work are the equations of motion governing the behavior of a simple, highly flexible, prismatic-jointed robotic manipulator performing repetitive maneuvers. The robot is modeled as a uniform cantilever beam that is subject to harmonic axial motions over a single bilateral support. To conveniently and accurately predict motions that lead to unstable behavior, three methods are investigated for determining the boundaries of unstable regions in the parameter space defined by the amplitude and frequency of axial motion. The first method is based on a straightforward application of Floquet theory; the second makes use of the results of a perturbation analysis; and the third employs Bolotin’s infinite determinate method. Results indicate that both perturbation techniques and Bolotin’s method yield acceptably accurate results for only very small amplitudes of axial motion and that a direct application of Floquet theory, while computational expensive, is the most reliable way to ensure that all instability boundaries are correctly represented. These results are particularly relevant to the study of prismatic-jointed robotic devices that experience amplitudes of periodic motion that are a significant percentage of the length of the axially moving member.

Static And Dynamic Analysis

Transmission of electrical energy from a catenary system to traction units must be safe and reliable especially for high speed trains. Modern pantographs have to meet these requirements. Pantographs are subjected to several forces acting on their structural elements. These forces come from pantograph drive, inertia forces, aerodynamic effects, vibration of traction units etc. Modern approach to static and dynamic analysis should take into account: mass distribution of particular parts, physical properties of used materials, kinematic joints character at mechanical nodes, nonlinear parameters of kinematic joints, defining different parametric waveforms of forces and torques, and numerical dynamic simulation coupled with FEM calculations. In this work methods for the formulation of the governing equations of motion are presented. Some of these methods are more suitable for automated computer implementation. The novel computer methods recommended for static and dynamic analysis of pantographs are presented. Possibilities of dynamic analysis using CAD and CAE computer software are described. Original results are also presented. Conclusions related to dynamic properties of pantographs are included. Chapter 2 presents the methods used for formulation of the equation of pantograph motion. Chapter 3 is devoted to modelling of forces in multibody systems. In chapter 4 the selected computer tools for dynamic analysis are described. Chapter 5 shows the possibility of FEM analysis coupled with dynamic simulation. In chapter 6 the summary of this work is presented.

Analysis of the forces involved in mechanical systems requires an understanding of the dynamic properties of the system's components. In this work, a project on the determination of both the location of the centre of mass and inertial properties is described. The project involves physical testing, the proposal of approximate models, and the comparison of results. The educational goal of the project is to give students and appreciation of second mass moments and the validity of assumptions that are often applied in component modelling. This work reviews relevant equations of motion and discusses techniques to determine or estimate the centre of mass and second moment of inertia. An example project problem and solutions are presented. The value of such project problems within a first course on the theory of mechanisms is discussed.

Abstract The present paper addresses axially moving beams with co-moving concentrated masses while undergoing large deformations. For the numerical modeling, a novel beam finite element is introduced, which is based on the absolute nodal coordinate formulation extended with an additional Eulerian coordinate to represent the axial motion. The resulting formulation is well known as Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) method, which is often used for axially moving beams and pipes conveying fluids. As compared to previous formulations, the present formulation allows us to introduce the Eulerian part by an independent coordinate, which fully incorporates the dynamics of the axial motion, while the shape functions remain independent of the beam coordinates and are thus constant. The proposed approach, which is derived from an extended version of Lagrange’s equations of motion, allows for the investigation of the stability of axially moving beams for a certain axial velocity and stationary state of large deformation. A multibody modeling approach allows us to extend the beam formulation for co-moving discrete masses, which represent concentrated masses attached to the beam, e.g., gondolas in ropeway systems, or transported masses in conveyor belts. Within numerical investigations we show that a larger number of discrete masses behaves similarly as the case of (continuously) distributed mass along the beam.

abstract The seismic response of multistory building and other structural systems is affected by the existence of self strains which may be induced by temperature gradients, mechanical actions, or prestraining. The fundamental dynamic properties such as natural frequencies and mode shapes are influenced by the presence of these strains. As a consequence, the response of the structure changes to the extent that the self strains change its dynamic characteristics and to the extent that these characteristics are relevant in the interaction of a particular structure with a given ground motion. This paper presents a detailed study of some simple structures such as beams and frames whose members are subjected to initial strains. The homogeneous differential equations of motion are expressed in terms of the stiffness, mass, and geometry matrices and a parameter accounting for the self-strain effect. The solution of the resulting eigenvalue problem is used to write the modal equations into which the desired ground motion is applied. The final response is obtained from the appropriate shock spectrum and the application of root-mean-square superposition technique. The disturbing action produced by the ground motion of the well known El Centro earthquake of 1940 is applied to several structures in which the amount of self-strain is varied as a parameter.
