Estimating accurately the natural frequencies of electrically actuated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) has been the center of research attention over the past few years. Despite this important topic, a robust knowledge is still missing to understand the role of various physical parameters that affect the natural frequencies, such as the stretching of doubly-clamped CNTs, the DC electrostatic force, and the curvature of CNTs with slacks. In this investigation, we use a 2D nonlinear curved beam model (arch) to simulate the coupled in-plane and the out-of-plane motions of a CNT with curvature (slack). We calculate the variation of its natural frequencies and mode-shapes with the level of slack and the DC electrostatic load. Toward this, we derive a reduced-order model using a multi-mode Galerkin procedure based on the mode shapes of the straight unactuated CNT. We calculate the natural frequencies of the slacked CNT for a given voltage by substituting the static solution into the Jacobian of the reduced-order-model and then finding the corresponding eigenvalues. We show various scenarios of mode crossing and mode veering as the levels of slack and DC load are varied.

The results from a reduced order model based on frequency mistuning are compared with those from recently developed modified modal domain analysis (MMDA). For the academic bladed rotor considered in this paper, the frequency mistuning analysis is unable to capture the effects of geometric mistuning, whereas MMDA provides accurate estimates of natural frequencies, mode shapes, and forced response.

Model Equations

In this paper, we present an investigation of the dynamics of electrically actuated carbon nanotubes (CNTs) resonators including the effect of their initial curvature due to fabrication (slack). A nonlinear arch model is used to simulate the motion of the slacked CNT. A reduced-order model using a multimode Galerkin procedure based on the mode shapes of the straight un-actuated CNTs is derived. The reduced-order model equations are integrated numerically with time to reveal the steady-state response of the CNT when actuated by a DC load superimposed to an AC harmonic load. A perturbation method, the method of multiple scales, is used to obtain analytically the forced vibration response due to DC and small AC loads for various slacked CNT. Results of the perturbation method are verified with those obtained by numerically integrating the reduced-order model equations. The effective nonlinearity of the CNT is calculated as function of the slack and the DC load while using a beam model for the CNTs showing a softening dominant behavior.

Vision Sensing

In order to control the IPMC (Ionic Polymer Metal Composite) actuators, it is necessary to use a vision sensing system and a reduced order model from the vision sensing data. In this study, the MROVS (Modal Reduced Order Vision Sensing) model using the least square method has been developed for implementation of the biomimetic motion generation. The simulated transverse displacement is approximated with a sum of the lower mode shapes of the cantilever beam. The NIPXI 1409 image acquisition board and CCD camera (XC-HR50) are used in the experimental setup. Present results show that the MROVS model can efficiently process the vision sensing of the biomimetic IPMC actuator with cost-effective computational time.

Numerical Predictions

Abstract It is widely known that the vibration characteristics of blade integrated discs can dramatically change in the presence of manufacturing tolerances and wear. In this context, an increasing number of publications discuss the influence of the geometrical variability of blades on phenomena like frequency splitting and mode localization. This contribution is investigating the validity of a stiffness modified reduced order model for predicting the modal parameters of a geometrically mistuned compressor stage. In detail, the natural frequencies and mode shapes, as well as the corresponding mistuning patterns, are experimentally determined for an exemplary rotor. Furthermore, a blue light fringe projector is used to identify the geometrical differences between the actual rotor and the nominal blisk design. With the help of these digitization results, a realistic finite element model of the whole compressor stage is generated. Beyond that, a reduced order model is implemented based on the nominal design intention. Finally, the numerical predictions of the geometrically updated finite element model and the stiffness modified reduced order model are compared to the vibration measurement results. The investigation is completed by pointing out the benefits and limitations of the SNM-approach in the context of geometrically induced mistuning effects.

We present computationally efficient models and approaches and utilize them to investigate the dynamics of microbeams under mechanical shock. We explore using a hybrid approach utilizing a beam model combined with the shock spectrum of a spring-mass-damper model. We conclude that this approach is computationally efficient and yields accurate results in both quasi-static and dynamic loading conditions. We utilize a reduced-order model based on the nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli beam model. We demonstrate that this model is capable of capturing accurately the dynamic behavior of microbeams under shock pulses of various amplitudes (low-g and high-g), in various damping conditions, structural boundaries (clamped-clamped and clamped-free), and can capture both linear and nonlinear behavior. We investigate high-g loading cases. We report significant increase in the computational cost of simulations when using traditional nonlinear finite-element models because of the activation of higher-order modes. We demonstrate that the developed reduced-order model can be very efficient in such cases.
