In the limiting cases, our expressions for large bending give the corresponding expressions reported in the literature for small bending. Additionally, we introduce the Laplace-Differential Transformation Method (LDTM) for the first time, providing efficient solutions to explore the influence of parameters like aspect ratio and small-scale factors on CNT bending behavior. Comparison with the analytical method validates the accuracy and efficacy of LDTM, offering a rapid solution for nonlinear equations. Our findings reveal that strain energy deviates more prominently from quadratic behavior in CNTs with high aspect ratios, while small-scale parameters have a pronounced effect on CNTs with smaller aspect ratios.

With the consideration of influence factors such as the nonlinear contact and wear between the rope and groove, the tribological performance at the rope-groove interface during a twisting process is analyzed in this study. A winding rope-groove model is first established in order to obtain the contact and sliding solutions at the interface between the rope and groove, which are then used as the load conditions of a simplified local model that is built for wear solution using a modified Archard's wear theory. Based on the finite element simulation software ABAQUS, the ALE adaptive mesh technology and UMESHMOTION subroutine secondary development are adopted to analyze the evolutions of wear topography and contact behavior between the rope and the groove. The results show that the twisting movement of the steel wire rope around the groove causes an interfacial wear between them. The wear scars occur on the outside wire of the steel wire rope and the bottom area of the groove, and the wear scar on the groove is smaller but deeper. A ring-shaped region of stress concentration happens near the edge of wear region. As the wear process proceeds, the depths and dimensions of the wear scars increase, while the contact pressure decreases. The contact performance and wear change dramatically at the beginning of wear process and tend to be stable subsequently. An increment of lay angle of the outside wire aggravates the wear and contact between the steel wire rope and the groove.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50303,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141593721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, a comprehensive investigation has been performed on the transmission spectrum and effective mass of the proposed unit cell, for varying radius of inner mass, coefficient of restitution and mass ratio. A non-linearity is developed in the system due to the impact between the two masses, which further causes an energy transfer from the outer mass to the inner mass.

This task is computationally challenging due to the need for repeated solutions of a high-resolution model. This cost grows significantly with the stochastic dimension — characterized by the number of random variables, in this case, arising from the discretization of the random excitation. To address this issue, a novel non-intrusive reduced order model (ROM) is proposed in this paper. Accordingly, the complexity due to spatial discretization is first reduced using proper orthogonal decomposition. However, interpolation among response time histories in the resulting reduced solution space is computationally infeasible due to large stochastic dimensionality. An existing ROM developed by the authors is now improved by adopting a long short-term memory (LSTM) network for this interpolation. Furthermore, this adoption required two additional modifications in the mathematical structure of the ROM related to data compression and nonlinear coupling. The proposed methodology can be seamlessly integrated with black-box nonlinear solvers. Through detailed numerical studies on a beam on Winkler foundation and a multi-storied building frame subjected to stationary and non-stationary excitations, the proposed ROM is found to be accurate, efficient, and robust with respect to the frequency band of interest. The ROM has shown reduction of two orders of magnitude in the computational time. Furthermore, the proposed ROM is inherently parallelizable and holds promise to be scaled to other types of nonlinear systems with large stochastic dimensionality.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50303,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141540063","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study proposes a method to predict the stochastic response of high-degree-of-freedom (DOF) quasi-non-integrable Hamiltonian systems under Poisson white noises. The original finite DOF system is reduced to a one-dimensional one governing the Hamiltonian by applying the stochastic averaging method, and the associated reduced generalized Fokker–Planck–Kolmogorov (GFPK) equation is derived. Then, the two-step generalized elliptical coordinate transformation is extended to evaluate averaged derivative moments that are the key to obtaining the stationary probability density function (SPDF) for probabilistic information prediction. Moreover, the perturbation method is introduced to address the high-order GFPK equation. Finally, an 8-DOF strongly nonlinear system under purely additive Poisson white noises is given as an example to highlight the accuracy of the proposed method. Results from the proposed method show good agreement with those from Monte Carlo simulations, which indicates that the proposed method can be applied to assess the response of high-DOF quasi-non-integrable Hamiltonian systems under Poisson white noises.
