Longitudinally Varying Tension

In this paper, the parametric stability of axially accelerating viscoelastic beams is revisited. The effects of the longitudinally varying tension due to the axial acceleration are highlighted, while the tension was approximately assumed to be longitudinally uniform in previous studies. The dependence of the tension on the finite support rigidity is also considered. The generalized Hamilton principle and the Kelvin viscoelastic constitutive relation are applied to establish the governing equations and the associated boundary conditions for coupled planar motion of the beam. The governing equations are linearized into the governing equation in the transverse direction and the expression of the longitudinally varying tension. The method of multiple scales is employed to analyze the parametric stability of transverse motion. The stability boundaries are derived from the solvability conditions and the Routh-Hurwitz criterion for principal and sum resonances. In terms of stability boundaries, the governing equations with or without the longitudinal variance of tension are compared and the effects of the finite support rigidity are also examined. Some numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effects of the stiffness, the viscosity, and the mean axial speed on the stability boundaries. The differential quadrature scheme is developed to numerically solve the governing equation, and the computational results confirm the outcomes of the method of multiple scales.

Wave Limit

The method of multiple scales is used to examine the slow modulation of a harmonic wave moving over the surface of a two dimensional channel. The flow is assumed inviscid and incompressible, but the basic flow takes the form of an arbitrary shear. The appropriate nonlinear Schrödinger equation is derived with coefficients that depend, in a complicated way, on the shear. It is shown that this equation agrees with previous work for the case of no shear; it also agrees in the long wave limit with the appropriate short wave limit of the Korteweg-de Vries equation, the shear being arbitrary. Finally, it is remarked that the stability of Stokes waves over any shear can be examined by using the results derived here.

Bifurcating Periodic Solution

A delayed epidemic model with nonlinear incidence rate which depends on the ratio of the numbers of susceptible and infectious individuals is considered. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the effects of time delay on the stability of the equilibria are studied. By choosing time delay as bifurcation parameter, the critical value of time delay at which a Hopf bifurcation occurs is obtained. In order to derive the normal form of the Hopf bifurcation, an extended method of multiple scales is developed and used. Then, the amplitude of bifurcating periodic solution and the conditions which determine the stability of the bifurcating periodic solution are obtained. The validity of analytical results is shown by their consistency with numerical simulations.

Transition Property

The stability boundaries of LTI time-delayed systems with respect to the delays are studied in two different domains: (i) delay space (DS) and (ii) spectral delay space (SDS), which contains pointwise frequency information as well as the delay. SDS is the preferred domain due to its advantageous boundedness properties and simple construct of stability transition boundaries. These transitions at the mentioned boundaries, however, present some conceptual challenges in SDS. This transition property enables us to extract the corresponding local stability variation properties in the DS, while it does not have any implication in the preferred SDS. The novel aspect of the investigation is to introduce a comparison mechanism between these two domains, DS and SDS, from the stability transition perspective. Interestingly, we are able to prove their equivalency, which provides complementary insight to the parametric stability variations.

The nonlinear magnetoelastic vibration equations and electromagnetic field equations of a conductive thin cylindrical shell in magnetic fields are derived. The nonlinear principal resonances and dynamic stabilities of the cylindrical shell simply supported in a transverse magnetic field are investigated. Approximate analytical solution and bifurcation equations of the system with principal resonances are obtained by using the method of multiple scales. The stabilities and singularities of the steady-state solutions are analyzed and the stability criterion is given. The transition sets and bifurcation figures of unfolding parameters are also obtained. The variations of the resonance amplitudes with respect to the detuning parameter, the magnetic induction intensity, and the amplitude of excitations are presented. The corresponding phase trajectories in moving phase planes are given. The stabilities of solutions, characteristics of singular points, and bifurcation are analyzed. The impacts of electromagnetic and mechanical parameters on dynamic behaviors are discussed in detail.

Tip Mass

The distributed parameter governing equations of a cantilever beam with a tip mass subjected to principal parametric excitation are developed using a generalized Hamilton's principle. Using a Galerkin's discretization scheme, the discretized equation for the first mode is developed for simpler representation assuming linear and nonlinear boundary conditions. The discretized governing equation considering the nonlinear boundary conditions assumes a simpler form. We solve the distributed parameter and discretized equations separately using the method of multiple scales. Through comparison with the direct approach, we show that accounting for the nonlinear boundary conditions boundary conditions is important for accurate prediction in terms of type of bifurcation and response amplitude.

Axial Speed

Transverse non-linear vibration is investigated in principal parametric resonance of an axially accelerating viscoelastic beam. The axial speed is characterized as a simple harmonic variation about a constant mean speed. The material time derivative is used in the viscoelastic constitutive relation. The transverse motion can be governed by a non-linear partial-differential equation or a non-linear integro-partial-differential equation. The method of multiple scales is applied to the governing equations to determine steady-state responses. It is confirmed that the mode uninvolved in the resonance has no effect on the steady-state response. The differential quadrature schemes are developed to verify results via the method of multiple scales. It is demonstrated that the straight equilibrium configuration becomes unstable and a stable steady-state emerges when the axial speed variation frequency is close to twice any linear natural frequency. The results derived for two governing equations are qualitatively the same, but quantitatively different. Numerical simulations are presented to examine the effects of the mean speed and the variation of the amplitude of the axial speed, the dynamic viscosity, the non-linear coefficients, and the boundary constraint stiffness on the instability interval and the steady-state response amplitude.

The Stability

Flexible Cartesian robotic arms (CRAs) are typical multicoupling systems. Considering the elastic effects of bolted joints and the motion disturbances, this paper investigates the dynamic and stability of the flexible CRA. With the kinetic energy and potential energy of the comprising components, Hamilton’s variational principle and Duhamel integral are utilized to derive the dynamic equation and vibration differential equation. Based on the proposed elastic restraint model of the bolted joints, boundary conditions and mode equations of the flexible CRA are determined with using the principle of virtual work. According to the mode frequencies and sensitivities analysis, it reveals that the connecting stiffness of the bolted joints has significant influences, and the mode frequencies are more sensitive to the tensional stiffness. Moreover, describing the motion displacement of the driving base as combination of an average motion displacement and a harmonic disturbance, the vibration responses of the system are studied. The result indicates that the motion disturbance has obvious influence on the vibration responses, and the influence enhances under larger accelerating operations. The multiple scales method is introduced to analyze the parametric stability of the system, as well as the influences of the tensional stiffness and the end-effector on the stability.

Forcespinning™ is a novel method that makes used of centrifugal forces to produce nanofibers rapidly and at high yields. To improve and enhance this new nanofiber production method a model of the system is begun. The process is started by deriving the governing equations of the forcespinning™ sytem and the constraints associated it. A simple 2D model is then obtained using the derived governing equations for the inviscid case to determine the trends of fiber diameter and trajectories. Then, focus is given to the time-dependency of these equations, and the effects of parametric excitation of the system on fiber formation are analyzed. The equations are solved using a combination of the method of multiple scales and the finite difference method with slender-jet theory assumptions.

The response of a single-degree-of-freedom system to a nonstationary excitation is investigated by using the method of multiple scales as well as analog- and digital-computer simulations. The unexcited system has one focus and two saddle points. The system can be used to model rolling of ships in head or follower seas. The method of multiple scales is used to derive equations governing the modulation of the amplitude and phase of the response. The modulation equations are used to find the stationary solutions and their stability. The response to nonstationary excitations is found by integrating the original governing equation as well as the modulation equations. There is good agreement between the results of both approaches. For some frequency and amplitude sweeps, the nonstationary response found from integrating the original governing equation exhibits behaviors that are analogous to symmetry-breaking bifurcations, period-doubling bi furcations, chaos, and unboundedness present in the stationary case. The maximum response amplitude and the excitation amplitude or frequency at which the response becomes unbounded are found as functions of the sweep rate. The results of the digital-computer simulations are verified with an analog computer.
