Abstract This paper presents an analytical and experimental investigation on the dynamic behavior of the band/wheel mechanical system of an industrial metal-cutting band saws. In practice, as a result of the existence of the wheel tilt angle, a pair of roller bearings in which one of them is movable must be employed to twist the saw band perpendicular to the workpiece. Therefore, the saw band is modelled as a finite moving beam span that composes of three consecutive segments, in which the middle segment, that is, the cutting span, and the neighboring two segments may be assumed to be a straight and a twisted beams, respectively. The deformation of the band must satisfy the continuity condition at the connections between segments. The equations of motion governing the dynamic behavior of the beam span in axial, torsional and transverse directions are derived using mixed variational principle. The axial motion of the beam span couples linearly with its torsional motion. The dynamic responses and the natural frequencies of the beam are computed when parameters vary, such as the transport velocity of the saw band, band tension, wheel tilt angle, and the length of the cutting span. Finally, an experimental study is performed on an industrial band saw for the verification of the mathematical model and the predictive capability proposed in this investigation. Favorable comparisons between the analytical and experimental results are obtained.

This paper presents an analytical and experimental investigation on the dynamic behavior of the band/wheel mechanical system of an industrial metal-cutting band saws. In practice, this machine is equipped with two pairs of roller bearings to twist the saw blade perpendicularly to the surface of the workpiece. This results in the existence of the wheel tilt angle. The saw band is modeled as a finite moving beam span that composes three consecutive segments: the middle straight segment, that is, the cutting span, and the neighboring two segments that are considered as twisted beams. The deformation of the band must satisfy the continuity condition at the connections between segments. The equations of motion governing the dynamic behavior of the saw band in axial, torsional and transverse directions are derived using mixed variational principle. The axial motion of the span couples linearly with its torsional motion. The dynamic responses and the natural frequencies of the beam are computed when parameters vary, such as the transport velocity of the saw band, initial tension, wheel tilt angle, and the length of the cutting span. Finally, an experimental study is performed on an industrial band saw for the verification of the mathematical model and the predictive capability proposed in this investigation. Favorable comparisons between the analytical and experimental results are obtained.

Abstract This paper investigates the dynamic behavior of rotating MEMS-based vibratory gyroscopes which employs a thin ring as the vibrating flexible element. The mathematical model for the MEMS ring structure as well as a model for the nonlinear electrostatic excitation forces are formulated. Galerkin’s procedure is employed to reduce the equations of motion to a set of ordinary differential equations. Understanding the effects of nonlinear actuator dynamics is considered important for characterizing the dynamic behavior of such devices. A suitable theoretical model to generate nonlinear electrostatic force that acts on the MEMS ring structure is formulated. Dynamic responses in the driving and the sensing directions are examined via time responses, phase diagram, and Poincare’ map plots when the input angular motion and the nonlinear electrostatic force are considered simultaneously. The analysis is envisaged to aid fabrication of this class of devices as well as for providing design improvements in MEMS Ring-based Gyroscopes.

Abstract The slider-crank mechanism is used widely in modern industrial equipment whereby the contact-impact of a revolute clearance joint affects the dynamic behavior of mechanical systems. Combining multibody dynamic theory and nonlinear contact theory, the computational methodology for dynamic analysis of the slider-crank mechanism with a clearance joint is proposed. The differential equations of motion are obtained considering the revolute clearance joint between the connecting rod and slider. In the mechanical system, the contact force is evaluated using the continuous force model proposed by Lankarani and Nikravesh, which can describe the contact-impact phenomenon accurately. Then, the experimental study is performed whereby the numerical results are compared with the test data to validate the proposed model. Moreover, the dynamic response analysis is conducted with various driving velocities and clearance sizes, which also explains that the sensitive dependence of a mechanical system on the revolute clearance joint.

This paper comprehensively investigates the parametric effects of differently located revolute clearance joints on the dynamic behavior of planar deployable structure based on scissor-like element. Considering the real physical mechanical joints, the normal and the tangential forces in the revolute clearance joints are respectively modeled using Flores contact-force model and LuGre friction model. The resulting forces and moments are embedded in the equations of motion of the scissor deployable structure for accurately describing the effect of joint clearance and governing the dynamic response of this structure. The effects of the main parameters such as the location of the clearance joint, the clearance size and the number of clearance joints on the dynamic characteristics of a multibody mechanical system have been numerically evaluated, and the results indicate that joints at different locations in a mechanical system have different sensitivities to the clearance size, and the more sensitive joint should be controlled to reduce the nonlinear behavior of this structure. Also, it can be concluded that the motion in one revolute clearance joint will affect the motion in the other clearance joints and the dynamic interaction of clearance joints is the important source of structural behavior change. Therefore, in order to accurately predict the dynamic responses of the mechanical system, the clearance effect of each joint on the multibody system should be investigated and understood.

A power flow analysis of finite coupled Mindlin plates with a blocking mass at the junction of the coupled plates is investigated using the method of reverberation-ray matrix (MRRM). An exact solution is derived by the plate equations of motion to satisfy the boundary condition. The wave amplitude coefficients are obtained from the continuity conditions at driving force locations, and the line junction of two plates connected at an arbitrary angle. The blocking mass located at the junction of the two plates is modeled as a Timoshenko beam. The dynamic responses of the finite coupled Mindlin plates are verified by comparing with finite element method (FEM) results. The effects of the connected angles, blocking mass, and structural damping on the input power and transmitted power are calculated and analyzed. Numerical simulations of the finite coupled Mindlin plates with a blocking mass show that the present method can predict the dynamic behavior.

The influence of the revolute joint model on the dynamic behavior of multibody systems is investigated throughout this work. In the process, under the framework of the multibody systems formulation, a general methodology for modeling revolute joints with clearance is presented. The numerical models for normal and tangential contact forces are reviewed. The contact-impact forces developed during the contact are evaluated and introduced into the equations of motion of the multibody mechanical system. Moreover, the main kinematic and dynamic aspects of the modeling lubricated revolute joints are presented and discussed in this work in order to compare them with the dry revolute joint. The hydrodynamic forces are obtained by integrating the pressure distribution evaluated with the aid of Reynolds’ equation written for the dynamic regime. The hydrodynamic forces are nonlinear functions of the journal centre position and of its velocity with reference to the bearing center. The hydrodynamic forces built up by the lubricant fluid are evaluated from the state of variable of the system and included into the equations of motion of the mechanical system. The main assumptions and procedures adopted in this work are demonstrated through simulations of a slider-crank mechanism, which includes a revolute joint with clearance.

Presented in this study is investigation of dynamic behavior of a helical gear reduction by experimental and numerical methods. A closed-loop test rig is designed to measure vibrations of the example system, and the basic principle as well as relevant signal processing method is introduced. A hybrid user-defined element model is established to predict relative vibration acceleration at the gear mesh in a direction normal to contact surfaces. The other two numerical models are also constructed by lumped mass method and contact FEM to compare with the previous model in terms of dynamic responses of the system. First, the experiment data demonstrate that the loaded transmission error calculated by LTCA method is generally acceptable and that the assumption ignoring the tooth backlash is valid under the conditions of large loads. Second, under the common operating conditions, the system vibrations obtained by the experimental and numerical methods primarily occur at the first fourth-order meshing frequencies and that the maximum vibration amplitude, for each method, appears on the fourth-order meshing frequency. Moreover, root-mean-square (RMS) value of the acceleration increases with the increasing loads. Finally, according to the comparison of the simulation results, the variation tendencies of the RMS value along with input rotational speed agree well and that the frequencies where the resonances occur keep coincident generally. With summaries of merit and demerit, application of each numerical method is suggested for dynamic analysis of cylindrical gear system, which aids designers for desirable dynamic behavior of the system and better solutions to engineering problems.

AbstractTethered submerged buoy is used extensively in the field of marine engineering. In this paper considering the effect of wave, the nonlinear dynamics behavior of tethered submerged buoy is debated under wave loadings. According to Newton’s second law, the dynamic of the system is built. The coupling factor of the system is neglected, the natural frequency is calculated. The dynamic responses of the system are analyzed using Runge–Kutta method. Considering the variety of the steepness kA, the phenomenon of dynamic behavior can be periodic, double periodic and quasi-periodic and so on. The bifurcation diagram and the largest Lyapunov exponent are applied to judge the nonlinear characteristic. It is helpful to understand the dynamic behavior of tethered submerged buoy and design the mooring line of tethered submerge buoy.

AbstractThis study investigates the effects of disk position nonlinearities on the nonlinear dynamic behavior of a rotating flexible shaft-disk system. Displacement of the disk on the shaft causes certain nonlinear terms which appears in the equations of motion, which can in turn affect the dynamic behavior of the system. The system is modeled as a continuous shaft with a rigid disk in different locations. Also, the disk gyroscopic moment is considered. The partial differential equations of motion are extracted under the Rayleigh beam theory. The assumed modes method is used to discretize partial differential equations and the resulting equations are solved via numerical methods. The analytical methods used in this work are inclusive of time series, phase plane portrait, power spectrum, Poincaré map, bifurcation diagrams, and Lyapunov exponents. The effect of disk nonlinearities is studied for some disk positions. The results confirm that when the disk is located at mid-span of the shaft, only the regular motion (period one) is observed. However, periodic, sub-harmonic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic states can be observed for situations in which the disk is located at places other than the middle of the shaft. The results show nonlinear effects are negligible in some cases.
