Nonlinear Frequency Response

This paper presents the nonlinear frequency response of a multistage clutch damper system in the framework of the harmonic balance method. For the numerical analysis, a multistage clutch damper with multiple nonlinearities is modeled as a single degree-of-freedom torsional system subjected to sinusoidal excitations. The nonlinearities include piecewise-linear stiffness, hysteresis, and preload all with asymmetric transition angles. Then, the nonlinear frequency response of the system is numerically obtained by applying the Newton–Raphson method to a system equation formulated by using the harmonic balance method. The resulting nonlinear frequency response is then compared with that obtained by direct numerical simulation of the system in the time domain. Using the simulation results, the stability characteristics and existence of quasi-harmonic response of the system are investigated. Also, the effect of stiffness values on the dynamic performance of the system is examined.

Nonlinear Frequency Response

Abstract Clearances in mechanical joints have deteriorating effects on the dynamic behavior of a machine in increasing noise and vibration and reducing the performance. In order to properly characterize these effects and to develop analytical techniques for machine design, it is necessary to investigate the dynamics associated with basic models of impacting systems. In this paper, we develop a method of harmonic balance to study a revolute impact pair. We focus on the characteristics of nonlinear frequency response of the system for a single frequency excitation. These characteristics include multiply-valued steady state response, multiple jump resonances, and existence and stability of these solutions. The effectiveness of the harmonic balance method combined with the Fast Fourier Transform technique is shown through numerical examples.

The Stability

A multiple harmonic balance method is presented in this paper for obtaining the aperiodic steady-state solution of a piecewise-linear system. As the method utilizes general and systematic computational procedures, it can be applied to analyze the multi-tone or combination-tone responses for the higher dimensional nonlinear systems such as rotors. Moreover, it is capable of informing the stability of the obtained solution using Floquet theory. To demonstrate the systematic approach of the new method, the almost periodic forced vibration of an articulated loading platform (ALP) with a piecewise-linear stiffness is computed as an example.
