The dynamic behaviour of a simple clamped beam suspended at the other end by an inclined cable stay is surveyed in this paper. The sag due to the cable weight, as well as the non-linear coupling between the cable and the beam motions are taken into account. The formulation for in-plane vibration follows closely that of Gattulli et al. [1] and confirms their findings for the overall features of the equations of motion and the system modal properties. A reduced non-linear mathematical model, with two degrees of freedom, is also developed, following again the steps of Gattulli and co-authors [2,3]. Hamilton’s Principle is evoked to allow for the projection of the displacement field of both the beam and the cable onto the space defined by the first two modes, namely a “global” mode (beam and cable) and a “local” mode (cable). The method of multiple scales is then applied to the analysis of the reduced equations of motion, when the system is subjected to the action of a harmonic loading. The steady-state solutions are characterised in the case of internal resonance between the local and the global modes, plus external resonance with respect to either one of the modes considered. A numerical application is presented, for which multiple-scale results are compared with those of numerical integration. A reasonable qualitative and quantitative agreement is seen to happen particularly in the case of external resonance with the higher mode. Discrepancies should obviously be expected due to strong non-linearities present in the reduced equations of motion. That is specially the case for external resonance with the lower mode.

Equations of motion for a four-degree-of-freedom dynamical system describing the vibrations of a one-disc elastic rotor taking into account gyroscopic moments on a non-linear flexural base are derived. A new version of the multiple scales method is developed and applied to analyse the non-linear dynamics of such a system for different resonances. The steady motions of the rotor are analysed. From the asymptotic analysis, it is shown that out-of-plane motions of the disc exist in the symmetric rotor.

This paper is concerned with the nonlinear oscillations and dynamic behavior of a rigid disk-rotor supported by active magnetic bearings (AMB), without gyroscopic effects. The nonlinear equations of motion are derived considering a periodically time-varying stiffness. The method of multiple scales is applied to obtain four first-order differential equations that describe the modulation of the amplitudes and the phases of the vibrations in the horizontal and vertical directions. The stability and the steady-state response of the system at a combination resonance for various parameters are studied numerically, applying the frequency response function method. It is shown that the system exhibits many typical nonlinear behaviors, including multiple-valued solutions, jump phenomenon, hardening, and softening nonlinearity. A numerical simulation using a fourth-order Runge-Kutta algorithm is carried out, where different effects of the system parameters on the nonlinear response of the rotor are reported and compared to the results from the multiple scale analysis. Results are compared to available published work.

Experimental and theoretical study of the non-planar response motions of a circular cantilever beam subject to base harmonic excitation has been presented in this paper work. Theoretical research is conducted using two non-linear coupled integral-differential equations of motion. These equations contain cubic linearities due do curvature term and inertial term. A combination of the Galerkin procedure and the method of multiple scales are used to construct a first-order uniform expansion for the case of one-to-one resonance. The results show that the nonlinear geometric terms are very important for the low-frequency modes of the first and second mode. The non-linear inertia terms are also important for the high-frequency modes. We present the quantitative and qualitative results for non-planar motions of the dynamic behavior.

Linear Vibrations

Time delay is an obstacle in the way of actively controlling non-linear vibrations. In this paper, a rotating blade’s non-linear oscillations are reduced via a time-delayed non-linear saturation controller (NSC). This controller is excited by a positive displacement signal measured from the sensors on the blade, and its output is the suitable control force applied onto the actuators on the blade driving it to the desired minimum vibratory level. Based on the saturation phenomenon, the blade vibrations can be saturated at a specific level while the rest of the energy is transferred to the controller. This can be done by adjusting the controller natural frequency to be one half of the blade natural frequency. The whole behavior is governed by a system of first-order differential equations gained by the method of multiple scales. Different responses are included to show the influences of time delay on the closed-loop control process. Also, a good agreement can be noticed between the analytical curves and the numerically simulated ones.

AbstractThe nonlinear transverse vibrations of ordered and disordered two-dimensional (2D) two-span composite laminated plates are studied. Based on the von Karman's large deformation theory, the equations of motion of each-span composite laminated plate are formulated using Hamilton's principle, and the partial differential equations are discretized into nonlinear ordinary ones through the Galerkin's method. The primary resonance and 1/3 sub-harmonic resonance are investigated by using the method of multiple scales. The amplitude-frequency relations of the steady-state responses and their stability analyses in each kind of resonance are carried out. The effects of the disorder ratio and ply angle on the two different resonances are analyzed. From the numerical results, it can be concluded that disorder in the length of the two-span 2D composite laminated plate will cause the nonlinear vibration localization phenomenon, and with the increase of the disorder ratio, the vibration localization phenomenon will become more obvious. Moreover, the amplitude-frequency curves for both primary resonance and 1/3 sub-harmonic resonance obtained by the present analytical method are compared with those by the numerical integration, and satisfactory precision can be obtained for engineering applications and the results certify the correctness of the present approximately analytical solutions.

Fall Arrest

Sports and mountaineering activities are becoming more and more popular. Equipment constructors seek to develop products and devices that are easy to use and that take into account all safety recommendations. PETZL and INSA have collaborated to develop a model for the simulation of displacements and efforts involved during the fall of a climber in the “safety chain”. The model is based on the classical equations of motion, in which climber and belayer are considered as rigid masses, while the rope is considered as a series of non-linear stiffness passing through several devices as brakes and runners. The main goal is to predict the forces in the rope and on the return anchor at the first rebound of the fall. Experiments were first performed in order to observe and determine the dynamic characteristics of the rope, and then to validate results stemming from simulations. Several fall configurations are simulated, and the model performs satisfactorily. It also provides a close approximation of the phenomena observed experimentally. The model enables the assessment of the existing equipments and the improved design of the future one.

The strengths of PFRP thin-walled columns are determined according to the modes of buckling which consist of local mode for short columns, global mode for long columns, and interaction mode between local and global modes for intermediate columns. Unlike the local and global buckling, the buckling strength of interaction mode is not theoretically predictable. Refined theoretical approaches which can account for different elastic properties of each plate component consisting of a PFRP thin-walled member are used. Based on both the analytical buckling loads and the experimentally measured buckling loads from literatures, the accuracies of Ylinen’s equation and modified AISC/LRFD column design equation for isotropic steel columns were compared. From the comparison, it was found that the modified AISC/LRFD column design equation is more suitable for the prediction of the buckling loads of PFRP thin-walled members than Ylinen’s equations.

Bamboo poles, and other one-dimensional thin-walled structures are usually loaded under compression, which may also be subject to bending arising from eccentric loading. Many of these structures contain diaphragms or circumferential stiffeners to prevent cross-sectional distortions and so enhance overall load-carrying response. Such hierarchical structures can compartmentalize buckling to local regions in addition to withstanding global buckling phenomena. Predicting the buckling mode shapes of such structures for a range of geometric parameters is challenging due to the interaction of these global and local modes. Abaqus finite element software is used to model thousands of circular hollow tubes with random geometric parameters such that the ratios of radius to periodic length range from 1/3-1/7, the ratio of wall thickness to radius varies from 1/4-1/10. The material used in this study is a type of bamboo, where the Young’s and shear moduli are point-wise orthotropic and gradually increase in magnitude in the radial direction. Under eccentric loads with varying eccentricity, the structures can buckle into a global mode or local modes within an internode, i.e. periodic unit. Moreover, the local modes may contain only one wave or multiple waves in the circumferential direction. As expected, numerical results show that the global mode is more likely to occur in small and thick tubes, whereas the local modes are observed in larger tubes with a smaller number of circumferential waves present in thicker walls. Also, greater eccentricity pushes the local mode domains towards smaller tubes. An efficient classification method is developed herein to identify the domains of each mode shape in terms of radius, wall thickness and eccentricity. Based on linear discriminant analysis, explicit boundary surfaces for the three domains are defined for the obtained data, which can help designers in predicting the mode shapes of tubular structures under axial bending.
