The so-called <em>quasi-continuum models</em>, preserving the principles of kinematics and balance of ordinary continuum mechanics while incorporating a richer description of inner forces at the constitutive level, attempt to mitigate this issue. One such model, well-known and commonly adopted in the last years, is due to Eringen and linearly expresses stress in terms of strain in a differential or integral form, by resorting to the convolution of a kernel function. This model, while successful for infinite media, encounters possible drawbacks when applied to finite domains, necessitating the imposition of “constitutive boundary conditions” of uncertain physical meaning. A series of alternative proposals in the literature try to overcome such difficulty; in the present contribution, we apply a perturbation procedure that circumvents this requirement. We apply this methodology to analyse paradigmatic problems of statics and free dynamics for fully deformable beams, and we present closed-form first-order expressions for benchmark scenarios, avoiding the necessity to use the constitutive boundary conditions. The solutions for purely flexible, Bernoulli–Euler, beams can be attained as a particular case of those provided here.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50303,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 105136"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-06-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144223478","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}

A targeted example is the case of a geometrically exact model of highly flexible slender structure, that includes, after space discretisation, trigonometric non-linear terms. With a suitable change of variables, this system can be rewritten in an equivalent one with polynomial non-linearities at most quadratic, at the price of introducing additional variables linked to algebraic equations, leading to a differential algebraic set of equations (DAE) to be solved. This DAE is reduced thanks to a normal form parametrisation of its invariant manifolds and selecting a set of master ones. Arbitrary order expansions are detailed for the coefficients of the change of variable and the reduced dynamics, using linear algebra in the space of multivariate polynomials of a given degree. In the case of a single non-linear mode reduction, a criterion to evaluate the quality of the normal form results is also proposed based on an estimation of the convergence radius of the polynomial asymptotic expansion representing truncated series. The method is then applied to compute a single mode reduction of three test cases – a Duffing oscillator, a simple pendulum and a clamped clamped beam with von Kármán model –, in order to investigate the effect of the algebraic part of the DAE on the quality of the model reduction and its validity range. Then, the more involved case of a cantilever beam modelled by geometrically exact finite elements is considered, underlining the ability of the method to produce accurate and converged results in a range of amplitude that can be bounded thanks to a convergence criterion.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":50303,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics","volume":"178 ","pages":"Article 105138"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2025-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144204484","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}

First, a laminated coupling vibration test study was conducted. The results showed that the average relative error between the numerical model and the test results was 10.2 %. Subsequently, the effects of the misalignment amount and nonlinear stiffness on the vibration characteristics of the laminated coupling were analyzed. The results showed that an increase in the angular misalignment amount leads to an increase in the vibration amplitude of the laminated coupling. Additionally, nonlinear stiffness has a suppressive effect on the vibration amplitude of the system. Finally, the effects of the angular misalignment amount, bending/torsional stiffness critical values, and rotational speed on the vibration behavior of the laminated coupling were observed using bifurcation diagrams. The research results show that when the angular misalignment exceeds 2.3 × 10<sup>−3</sup> rad, the critical value of bending stiffness is greater than 8.44 × 10<sup>6</sup> N/m, and the critical value of torsional stiffness is lower than 2.88 × 10<sup>6</sup> N·m/rad, the vibration amplitude of the laminated coupling tends to rise, and resonance may occur.
