In order to study the influence of dynamic wind on the nonlinear galloping characteristics of iced transmission lines, an external excitation load is added to the governing equation of iced transmission lines under the condition of stable wind, and a new forced self-excited system has been established. The frequency-amplitude relationship of the forced self-excited system under weak excitation and strong excitation is obtained by using the multiple-scale method. The principal resonances and superharmonic and subharmonic resonances of the forced self-excited system have also been analyzed. The results show that, in the forced self-excited system under strong excitation, when the excitation frequency is close to the integral and fractional times of the natural frequency, it is easier to produce 1/2-order subharmonic resonance, 2-order superharmonic resonance, and 3-order superharmonic resonance. In addition, numerical techniques provide bifurcation diagrams of different control parameters, which are able to highlight the effects of the simultaneous presence of the sources of excitation. When the control parameters (wind velocity, excitation amplitude, tuning parameter, tension, and Young’s modulus) change, the response amplitudes of the principal resonance and harmonic resonance will have multivalues, jump phenomenon, and hardening behavior. The control parameters can be used as a reference for engineering design. More importantly, as a combination of the Duffing equation and the Rayleigh equation, the forced self-excited system also has high theoretical research value.

Abstract This paper is concerned with the analysis of the self-excited vibrations and forced vibrations of the iced transmission lines. By introducing the external excitation load, the effect of dynamic wind on the nonlinear vibration equations of motion is reflected by vertical aerodynamic force. The approximate analytical solution of the non-resonance, and the amplitude frequency response relation of the principal resonance of the forced self-excited system are obtained by using the multiple scale method. With the increase in excitation amplitude, the nonlinearity of the system is enhanced, and the forced-self-excited system experiences three vibration stages (self-excited vibration, the superposition form of self-excited vibration and forced vibration, forced vibration controlled by nonlinear damping). Among them, the accuracy of the approximate analytical solution decreases with the increase of the nonlinear strength. And the excitation amplitude is greater than the critical value, the quenching phenomenon appear in the forced-self-excited system, and the discriminant formula is derived in this paper. In addition, the frequency of excitation term determines the vibration form of the system. The principal resonance, super-harmonic resonance and sub-harmonic resonance of the forced-self-excited system are analyzed by using different excitation frequencies. Compared with the principal resonance and the harmonic resonance, the meaningful transition from periodic response to quasi periodic response is easy to appear with the condition of the 1/3-order sub-harmonic and the 3-order super-harmonic. The conclusions would be helpful to the practical engineering of the iced transmission lines. More important, as a combination of Duffing equation and Rayleigh equation, the forced-self-excited system also has high theoretical research value.

A swirling double concentric jet is commonly used for nonpremixed gas burner application for safety reasons and to improve the combustion performance. Fuel is generally spurted at the central jet while the annular coflowing air is swirled. They are normally separated by a blockage disk where the bluff-body effects further enhance the recirculation of hot gas at the reaction zone. This paper aims to experimentally investigate the behavior of flame and flow in a double concentric jet combustor when the fuel supply is acoustically driven. Laser-light sheet assisted Mie scattering method has been used to visualize the flow, while the flame lengths were measured by a conventional photography technique. The fluctuating velocity at the jet exit was measured by a two-component laser Doppler velocimeter. Flammability and stability at first fuel tube resonant frequency are reported and discussed. The evolution of flame profile with excitation level is presented and discussed, together with the reduction in flame length. The flame in the unforced reacting axisymmetric wake is classified into three characteristic modes, which are weak swirling flame, lifted flame, and transitional reattached flame. These terms reflect their primary features of flame appearances, and when the acoustic excitation is applied, the flame behaviors change with the excitation frequency and amplitude. Four additional characteristic modes are identified; e.g., at low excitation amplitudes, wrinkling flame with a blue annular film is observed because the excitation induces vortices in the central fuel jet and hence gives rise to the wrinkling of flame. The central jet vortices become larger with the increase in excitation amplitude and thus lead to a wider and shorter flame. If the excitation amplitude is increased above a certain value, the central jet vortices change the rotation direction and pacing with the annular jet vortices. These changes in the flow field induce large turbulent intensity and mixing and therefore make the flame looks blue and short. Further increase in the excitation amplitude would lift the flame because the flow field would be dramatically modified.

This paper develops an experimentally validated model of a piezoelectric energy harvester under combined aeroelastic-galloping and base excitations. To that end, an energy harvester consisting of a thin piezoelectric cantilever beam subjected to vibratory base excitation is considered. To permit galloping excitation, a bluff body is rigidly attached at the free end such that a net aerodynamic lift is generated as the incoming airflow separates on both sides of the body giving rise to limit cycle oscillations when the flow velocity exceeds a critical value. A nonlinear electromechanical distributed-parameter model of the harvester under the combined excitation is derived using the energy approach and by adopting the nonlinear Euler-Bernoulli beam theory, linear constitutive relations for the piezoelectric transduction, and the quasi-steady assumption for the aerodynamic loading. The partial differential equations of the system are discretized and a reduced-order-model is obtained. The mathematical model is validated by conducting a series of experiments with different loading conditions represented by wind speed, base excitation amplitude, and excitation frequency around the primary resonance.

Abstract In this paper, a single-degree-of-freedom magnetic levitation dynamic system, whose spring is composed of a magnetic repulsive force, is numerically analyzed. The numerical results indicate that a body levitated by magnetic force shows many kinds of vibrations upon adjusting the system parameters (viz., damping, excitation amplitude and excitation frequency) when the system is excited by the harmonically moving base. For a suitable combination of parameters, an aperiodic vibration occurs after a sequence of period-doubling bifurcations. Typical aperiodic vibrations that occurred after period-doubling bifurcations from several initial states are identified as chaotic vibration and classified into two groups by examining their power spectra, Poincare maps, fractal dimension analyses, etc.

Parametric vibrations can be observed in cable-stayed bridges due to periodic excitations caused by a deck or a pylon. The vibrations are described by an ordinary differential equation with periodic coefficients. The paper focuses on random excitations, i.e. on the excitation amplitude and the excitation frequency which are two random variables. The excitation frequency ωL is discretized to a finite sequence of representative points, ωL,i Therefore, the problem is (conditionally) formulated and solved as a one-dimensional polynomial chaos expansion generated by the random excitation amplitude. The presented numerical analysis is focused on a real situation for which the problem of parametric resonance was observed (a cable of the Ben-Ahin bridge). The results obtained by the use of the conditional polynomial chaos approximations are compared with the ones based on the Monte Carlo simulation (truly two-dimensional, not conditional one). The convergence of both methods is discussed. It is found that the conditional polynomial chaos can yield a better convergence then the Monte Carlo simulation, especially if resonant vibrations are probable.

In recent years, nonlinear vibro-acoustic methods have shown potential to identify defects which are difficult to detect using linear ultrasonic methods. However, these methods come with their own challenges such as frequency dependence, requirement for a high excitation amplitude, and difficulties in distinguishing nonlinearity from defect with nonlinearity from other sources to name a few. This paper aims to study the dependence of nonlinear vibro-acoustic methods for detection of delaminations inside a composite laminate, on the excitation methods and excitation frequencies. It is shown that nonlinear vibro-acoustic methods are highly frequency dependent and commonly used excitation signals which utilize particular values of excitation frequencies might not always lead to a clear distinction between intact and delaminated regions of the specimen. To overcome the frequency dependence, signals based on frequency sweep are used. Interpretation of output response to sweep signals to identify damage is demonstrated using an earlier available approach, and a simpler approach is proposed. It is demonstrated that the damage detection with sweep signal excitations is relatively less dependent on excitation frequency than the conventional excitation methods. The proposed interpretation technique is then applied to specimens with delamination of varying sizes and with delaminations at different depths inside the laminate to demonstrate its effectiveness.

By solving unsteady Reynolds-averaged 2-D N-S equations discretized by a high-order scheme, the results showed that the disordered unsteady separated flow could be effectively controlled by periodic suction and blowing in a wide range of incidence, resulting in enhancement of time-averaged aerodynamic performances. The effects of unsteady excitation frequency, amplitude and excitation location were investigated in detail. The effective excitation frequency spans a wide spectrum and there is an optimal excitation frequency that is nearly equal to the Characteristic frequency of vortex shedding. Excitation amplitude exhibits a threshold value (nearly 10% in term of the ratio of maximum velocity of periodic suction and blowing to the velocity of free flow) and an optimal value (nearly 35%). The optimal excitation location is just upstream of the separation point. We also explored feasible unsteady actuators by utilizing upstream wake for constraining unsteady separation in axial flow compressors.

Abstract Torsional instabilities in a two-degree-of-freedom system driven by a Hooke’s joint due to random input angular speed fluctuation are investigated. Linearised analytical models are used for calculating the largest Lyapunov exponent. Instability behaviour is then characterised by examining the sign of this exponent. Conditions for the onset of instability via sub-harmonic parametric resonances has been shown to coincide with those for the deterministic case. However, the onset of instability via sum as well as the difference type combination resonance is found to be different from that of the deterministic case. The instability conditions for the system under input angular speed fluctuation have been presented graphically in the excitation frequency-excitation amplitude-top Lyapunov exponent space. Predictions for the deterministic and the stochastic cases are compared. The effect of fluctuation probability density as well as that of inertia loads on the stability behaviour of the system has been examined.

In order to study the resonance characteristics of rock under harmonic excitation, two vibration models have been presented to estimate the natural frequency of rock encountered during the drilling. The first one is a developed single-DOF model which considers the properties and dimensions of the rock. The second one is a multi-DOF model based on the principle of least action. Subsequently, the modal characteristics, as well as the influence of excitation frequency, the mechanical properties, and dimensions of the rock on its resonance frequency, are analyzed by using FEM. Finally, the ultrasonic test on artificial sandstones and materials of drill tools are carried out indoor, and the FFT transform method is adopted to obtain their resonance frequencies. Based on the analysis undertaken, it can be concluded that the natural frequency of the rock increases with the change of vibration mode. For the same kind of rock, the resonance frequency is inversely proportional to mass, while for the different kinds of rocks, the mechanical parameters, such as density, elastic modulus, and Poisson’s ratio, determine the resonance frequency of the rock together. Besides, the shape of the rock is also one of the main factors affecting its resonance frequency. At last, the theoretical research results are further verified by ultrasonic tests.

In this paper we study, both theoretically and experimentally, the nonlinear vibration of a shallow arch with one end attached to an electro-mechanical shaker. In the experiment we generate harmonic magnetic force on the central core of the shaker by controlling the electric current flowing into the shaker. The end motion of the arch is in general not harmonic, especially when the amplitude of lateral vibration is large. In the case when the excitation frequency is close to the nth natural frequency of the arch, we found that geometrical imperfection is the key for the nth mode to be excited. Analytical formula relating the amplitude of the steady state response and the geometrical imperfection can be derived via a multiple scale analysis. In the case when the excitation frequency is close to two times of the nth natural frequency two stable steady state responses can exist simultaneously. As a consequence jump phenomenon is observed when the excitation frequency sweeps upward. The effect of geometrical imperfection on the steady state response is minimal in this case. The multiple scale analysis not only predicts the amplitudes and phases of both the stable and unstable solutions, but also predicts analytically the frequency at which jump phenomenon occurs.
