Since microplates are extensively used in MEMS devices such as microbumps, micromirrors, and microphones, this work aims to study nonlinear vibration of an electrically actuated microplate whose four edges are clamped. Based on the modified couple stress theory (MCST) and strain equivalent assumption, size effect and damage are taken into consideration in the present model. The dynamic governing partial differential equations of the microplate system were obtained using Hamilton’s principle and solved using the harmonic balance method after they are transformed into ordinary differential equation with regard to time. Size effect and damage effect on nonlinear free vibration of the microplate under DC voltage are discussed using frequency-response curve. In the forced vibration analysis, the frequency-response curves were also employed for the purpose of highlighting the influence of different physical parameters such as external excitation, damping coefficient, material length scale parameter, and damage variable when the system is under AC voltage. The results presented in this study may be helpful and useful for the dynamic stability of a electrically actuated microplate system.

The performance of the cantilever beam autoparametric vibration absorber with a lumped mass attached at an arbitrary point on the beam span is investigated. The absorber would have a distinct feature that in addition to the two-to-one internal resonance, the one-to-three and one-to-five internal resonances would also occur between flexural modes of the beam by tuning the mass and position of the lumped mass. Special attention is paid on studying the effect of these resonances on increasing the effectiveness and extending the range of excitation amplitudes at which the autoparametric vibration absorber remains effective. The problem is formulated based on the third-order nonlinear Euler–Bernoulli beam theory, where the assumed-mode method is used for deriving the discretized equations of motion. The numerical continuation method is then applied to obtain the frequency response curves and detect the bifurcation points. The harmonic balance method is also employed for detecting the type of internal resonances between flexural modes by inspecting the frequency response curves corresponding to different harmonics of the response. Parametric studies on the performance of the absorber are conducted by varying the position and mass of the lumped mass, while the frequency ratio of the primary system to the first mode of the beam is kept equal to two. Results indicated that the one-to-five internal resonance is especially responsible for the considerable enhancement of the performance.

ABSTRACTA non-classical analytical model for vibration analysis of thin isotropic and FGM plate containing multiple part-through cracks (star shaped) of arbitrary orientation is proposed. A plate containing four concentric cracks of arbitrary orientation in the form of continuous line is considered for analysis. The proposed governing equation is derived based on classical plate theory and modified couple stress theory. Line spring model is modified to accommodate all the crack terms. The application of Berger’s formulation introduces nonlinearities in the governing equation and then the Galerkin’s method is applied for solving final governing equation. Results for fundamental frequencies for different values of crack length, crack orientation, gradient index and material length scale parameters are presented for two different boundary conditions. Furthermore, to study the phenomenon of bending hardening/softening in a cracked plate, the frequency response curves are plotted for the parameters stated above. Based on the outcomes of this study, it can be concluded that stiffness of the plate is severely affected by the presence of multiple cracks and the stiffness goes on decreasing with increase in number of cracks thereby affecting the fundamental frequency.

A new method of identifying parameters of nonlinearly vibrating system in frequency domain is presented in this paper. The problems of parameter identification of the nonlinear dynamic system with nonlinear elastic force or nonlinear damping force are discussed. In the method, the mathematic model of parameter identification is frequency response function. Firstly, by means of perturbation method the frequency response function of weakly nonlinear vibration system is derived. Next, a parameter transformation is made and the frequency response function becomes a linear function of the new parameters. Then, based on this function and with the least square method, physical parameters of the system are identified. Finally, the applicability of the proposed technique is confirmed by numerical simulation.

The paper proposes a new variable friction system, of which the friction force can increase linearly with the displacement of system. This new system can be used in TMD to avoid the disadvantage of Coulomb friction TMD. Using first order harmonic balance method, the equivalent damping ratio and frequency of SDOF variable friction system is deduced and analyzed. The frequency response characteristics of SDOF variable friction system is discussed. The control effectiveness of variable friction TMD under harmonic excitation is analyzed theoretically. The results demonstrate that the frequency response curves of variable friction TMD and classically damped TMD are similar and both can effectively reduce structural response under harmonic excitation.

Abstract Friction dampers are one of the most common structures used to alleviate excessive vibration amplitudes in turbomachinery applications. There are very well-known types of contact elements exploited efficiently, such as underplatform dampers. However, different design approach is sometimes needed to maximize the effectiveness further. In this paper, computational forced response prediction of bladed disks with a configuration of the secondary structure commonly used by Baker Hughes design, the so-called mid-span dampers, is presented. Mid-span dampers are metal devices positioned at the middle section of the airfoil span and come into contact with the blade by the centrifugal force acting during rotation. Proposed damping mechanism is applied to a realistic steam turbine bladed disk under cyclic symmetric boundary conditions. Friction contact is modeled through a large number of contact nodes between the blade and the damper by using a 2D friction contact element with variable normal load. Harmonic Balance Method and Alternating Frequency/Time approach are utilized to obtain nonlinear algebraic equations in frequency domain and nonlinear forced response is computed by using Newton-Raphson method. The results obtained by numerical simulations show that mid-span dampers are an efficient configuration type of a damping mechanism to be used in the design of the bladed disks for nonlinear vibration analysis.

In this study, nonlinear vibration of a conical shell with a piezoelectric sensor patch and a piezoelectric actuator patch is evaluated. The strain displacement relation is considered to be nonlinear and based on that the equations of motion and piezoelectric sensor output signal are extracted. For the first time, nonlinear electromechanical equations of motion for the conical shell with a piezoelectric sensor layer and a piezoelectric actuator layer are extracted in detail and presented. The producer of extraction of conical shell electromechanical equations of motions is presented for further clarifications. The output signal of the piezoelectric sensor patch considering the nonlinear strain displacement equation of motion is derived. For controlling the vibration actively, a proportional controller is defined by which the applied actuator signal is determined. The nonlinear electromechanical equations of motion are expanded based on conical shell strains. By applying the Galerkin method, the nonlinear time-domain equations are extracted. The complicated attained equations are solved using the harmonic balance method. Conical shell nonlinear frequency response in uncontrolled condition and controlled condition is computed and compared with each other. The frequency response shows that the active vibration control of the conical shell increases the nonlinearity of the system and reduces the vibration amplitude. In addition, free nonlinear vibration of the proposed system is calculated and presented. The results show higher impacts of piezoelectric patches on the conical shell free vibration response and they can reduce the vibration amplitude dramatically.

We present analysis of the global dynamics of electrically actuated microbeams under subharmonic excitation. The microbeams are excited by a DC electrostatic force and an AC harmonic force with a frequency tuned near twice their fundamental natural frequencies. We show that the dynamic pull-in instability can occur in this case for an electric load much lower than that predicted with static analysis and the same order-of-magnitude as that predicted in the case of primary-resonance excitation. We show that, once the subharmonic resonance is activated, all frequency-response curves reach pull-in, regardless of the magnitude of the AC forcing. Our results show a limited influence of the quality factor on the frequency response. This result and the fact that the frequency-response curves have very steep passband-to-stopband transitions make the combination of a DC voltage and a subhormonic of order one-half a promising candidate for designing improved high-sensitive RF MEMS filters.

This paper focuses on the classification of the bifurcation modes of a Duffing system under the combined excitations of constant force and harmonic excitation. The Harmonic Balance method combined with the arc-length continuation is used to obtain the periodic solutions of the system, and the Floquet theory is employed to analyze the stability of the corresponding solutions. Accordingly, the frequency-response curves affected respectively by the constant force and the magnitude of the harmonic excitation are analyzed to show the basic dynamical properties of the system. Afterwards, the bifurcation investigations are carried out with the aid of the two-state variable singularity method. It is derived that there are a total of six different types of bifurcation modes due to the effects of the constant force and the magnitude of the harmonic excitation. At last, the effects of the nonlinearity parameter and the damping ratio on the bifurcation modes of the system are also discussed. The results obtained in this paper extend the findings in reference that the system can have markedly three types of frequency-response curves: with only one solution, or with maximum three or five solutions for a certain excitation frequency, and contribute to a better understanding of the significant influence of the constant force.
