Abstract This paper presents a configuration and sizing design optimization method for large deformation planar compliant mechanisms, using a continuum-based adjoint design sensitivity analysis (DSA) approach for built-up structures. Under the total Lagrangian formulation, the Jaumann strain formulation using the discretization of the global displacement field is employed to account for the finite deformation of arbitrarily curved Kirchhoff beams. In multipatch models, a rotational junction continuity condition is imposed using penalty and Lagrange multiplier methods. The developed adjoint DSA method can handle nonconservative loading conditions, which lead to asymmetry of tangent operator. Performance measures are displacements and rotation angles, and neutral axis configuration and cross-sectional thickness are considered as design variables. Also, analytical design sensitivity expressions for the rotation continuity condition are derived. Various compliant mechanisms including path-generators and an angular rotator are synthesized to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed method.

This work investigates the behavior of an electroconductive plate under the action of a nonconservative load and subjected to a transversal magnetic field. The governing equation of the bending vibrations of an electroconductive plate, subjected to a transverse magnetic field and a follower type force at one edge, is presented. The assumption of an elongated plate leads to a simplified equation, which is conveniently written in dimensionless terms. For a cantilevered configuration, the characteristic equation relative to the magnetoelastic modes of vibration of the system is derived. Approximate solutions based on Galerkin method and an adjoint formulation are also presented and compared with the semi-analytical results. Root loci plots are computed as a function of the proper dimensionless parameters. The behavior of the system is very similar to the one exhibited by other structures subjected to nonconservative loads when damping is present. A relaxed definition of stability is used to regain continuity in the instability envelope.

This paper reviews most of the recent research done in the field of dynamic stability/dynamic instability/parametric excitation/parametric resonance characteristics of structures with special attention to parametric excitation of plate and shell structures. The solution of dynamic stability problems involves derivation of the equation of motion, discretization, and determination of dynamic instability regions of the structures. The purpose of this study is to review most of the recent research on dynamic stability in terms of the geometry (plates, cylindrical, spherical, and conical shells), type of loading (uniaxial uniform, patch, point loading …), boundary conditions (SSSS, SCSC, CCCC …), method of analysis (exact, finite strip, finite difference, finite element, differential quadrature, and experimental …), method of determination of dynamic instability regions (Lyapunovian, perturbation, and Floquet’s methods), order of theory being applied (thin, thick, three-dimensional, nonlinear …), shell theory used (Sanders’, Love’s and Donnell’s), materials of structures (homogeneous, bimodulus, composite, FGM …), and the various complicating effects such as geometrical discontinuity, elastic support, added mass, fluid structure interactions, nonconservative loading and twisting, etc. The important effects on dynamic stability of structures under periodic loading have been identified and influences of various important parameters are discussed. A review of the subject for nonconservative systems in detail will be presented in Part 2. This review paper cites 156 references.
