Flexible structures are frequently subjected to multiple inputs when in the field environment. The accurate determination of the system dynamic response to multiple inputs depends on how much information is available from the excitation sources that act on the system under study. Detailed information include, but are not restricted to appropriate characterization of the excitation sources in terms of their variation in time and in space for the case of distributed loads. Another important aspect related to the excitation sources is how inputs of different nature contribute to the measured dynamic response. A particular and important driving mechanism that can occur in practical situations is the parametric resonance. Another important input that occurs frequently in practice is related to acoustic pressure distributions that is a distributed type of loading. In this paper, detailed theoretical and experimental investigations on the dynamic response of a flexible cantilever beam carrying a tip mass to simultaneously applied external acoustic and parametric excitation signals have been performed. A mathematical model for transverse nonlinear vibration is obtained by employing Lagrange’s equations where important nonlinear effects such as the beam’s curvature and quadratic viscous damping are accounted for in the equation of motion. The beam is driven by two excitation sources, a sinusoidal motion applied to the beam’s fixed end and parallel to its longitudinal axis and a distributed sinusoidal acoustic load applied orthogonally to the beam’s longitudinal axis. The major goal here is to investigate theoretically as well as experimentally the dynamic behavior of the beam-lumped mass system under the action of these two excitation sources. Results from an extensive experimental work show how these two excitation sources interacts for various testing conditions. These experimental results are validated through numerically simulated results obtained from the solution of the system’s nonlinear equation of motion.

This paper discusses the dynamic behavior of a flexible multiple disk clutch subjected to dynamic loads. The expressions for obtaining the dynamic response and the transmission torque of the clutch have been derived from the equation of motion of a circular plate by applying the Laplace transform procedure. The results for the clutch subjected to a static load have also been obtained. The comparison between both static and dynamic results has been made to clarify the effect of the impact of the load on the behavior of the clutch.

Dynamic analysis of an Euler–Bernoulli beam with nonlinear supports is receiving greater research interest in recent years. Current studies usually consider the boundary and internal nonlinear supports separately, and the system rotational restraint is usually ignored. However, there is little study considering the simultaneous existence of axial load, lumped mass and internal supports for such nonlinear problem. Motivated by this limitation, the dynamic behavior of an axially loaded beam supported by a nonlinear spring-mass system is solved and investigated in this paper. Modal functions of an axially loaded Euler–Bernoulli beam with linear elastic supports are taken as trail functions in Galerkin discretization of the nonlinear governing differential equation. Stable steady-state response of such axially loaded beam supported by a nonlinear spring-mass system is solved via Galerkin truncation method, which is also validated by finite difference method. Results show that parameters of nonlinear spring-mass system and boundary condition have a significant influence on system dynamic behavior. Moreover, appropriate nonlinear parameters can switch the system behavior between the single-periodic state and quasi-periodic state effectively.

The flexible hub-beam system is a typical structure of the rigid-flexible coupling dynamic system. In this paper, the dynamic property of the flexible hub-beam system is investigated. First, based on the dynamic analysis of the flexible beam in the flexible hub-beam system, the dynamic model of a flexible hub-beam-tip mass system is established and researched. Second, the dynamic response of the flexible beam under different external loads, including end concentrated load, end sinusoidal load, and uniform load, is analyzed and calculated. Finally, the influence of magnitude, direction, and type of load on the dynamic response of the flexible beam is also discussed. This research can provide a novel strategy for controlling the maximum stress of the structural components to be lower than the yield stress of the material, and flexible components remain in the linear elastic range even under the condition of high-speed rotation.

Based on the analytical solution of the equation of motion for a single degree-of-freedom model of a spring, the relation between the dynamic behavior and the kinematic features of input cam motions is discussed in this paper. A simple expression for the dynamic response spectrum of the vibration excited by the input motion is presented. It provides a useful tool to estimate the effect of cam motions on the dynamic behavior of springs. A method for the selection of cam motion curves based on this response spectrum is also presented in the paper. Examples are given to illustrate the method.

The dynamic response of parametrically excited microbeam arrays is governed by nonlinear effects which directly influence their performance. To date, documented theoretical models consist of lumped-mass models. While a lumped-mass approach is useful for a qualitative understanding of the system response it does not resolve the spatio-temporal interaction of the individual elements in the array. Thus, we employ a consistent nonlinear continuum model to investigate the nonlinear dynamic behavior of an array of N nonlinearly coupled microbeams. Investigations focus on the behavior of a small size array in its 1:1:1 internal, parametric, and 3:1 internal resonances, which correspond to low, medium and high DC-voltage input, respectively. The dynamic equations of motion are solved numerically. The dynamic behavior of the three beam systems reveals coexisting periodic and aperiodic solutions. Similarities in the comprehensive bifurcation structures of the three beam systems provide insight to the nearest neighbor response of multi-element microbeam arrays subject to electrodynamic parametric excitation.

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.

Backlash is a key internal excitation on the dynamic response of planetary gear transmission. After the gear transmission running for a long time under load torque, due to tooth wear accumulation, the backlash between the tooth surface of two mating gears increases, which results in a larger and irregular backlash. However, the increasing backlash generated by tooth accumulated wear is generally neglected in lots of dynamics analysis for epicyclic gear trains. In order to investigate the impact of backlash generated by tooth accumulated wear on dynamic behavior of compound planetary gear set, in this work, first a static tooth surface wear prediction model is incorporated with a dynamic iteration methodology to get the increasing backlash generated by tooth accumulated wear for one pair of mating teeth under the condition that contact ratio equals to one. Then in order to introduce the tooth accumulated wear into dynamic model of compound planetary gear set, the backlash excitation generated by tooth accumulated wear for each meshing pair in compound planetary gear set is given under the condition that contact ratio equals to one and does not equal to one. Last, in order to investigate the impact of the increasing backlash generated by tooth accumulated wear on dynamic response of compound planetary gear set, a nonlinear lumped-parameter dynamic model of compound planetary gear set is employed to describe the dynamic relationships of gear transmission under the internal excitations generated by worn profile, meshing stiffness, transmission error, and backlash. The results indicate that the introduction of the increasing backlash generated by tooth accumulated wear makes a significant influence on the bifurcation and chaotic characteristics, dynamic response in time domain, and load sharing behavior of compound planetary gear set.
