For that, the structural cylindrical panel model considers the Donnell's nonlinear shallow shell theory to obtain the partial differential equilibrium equation and the compatibility and continuity equation. To represent the unilateral capability of the elastic base, a signum function is inserted in the reaction force of the elastic base to describe its dependence of the transversal displacement field of the cylindrical panel. To apply the elastic base in certain subdomain of the cylindrical panel, a Heaviside-type function is also inserted into elastic base's reaction forces. The nonlinear equilibrium equation is discretized by the Galerkin method, using a consistent transversal displacement field that it was obtained from a perturbation technique. The discretized set of equilibrium equations is employed to obtain the natural frequencies and the nonlinear frequency-amplitude relations, evaluating the influence of the unilateral contact and the contact region of the elastic base on these results. Depending on the signal of the imperfection's magnitude and the type of contact of the elastic base, the imperfect cylindrical panel can display an initial gap between the cylindrical panel and the elastic base, and this possibility is also investigated in this work. From the numerical results, it is observed that the unilateral elastic base applies less structural stiffness than the bilateral elastic base, decreasing the natural frequencies for the same imperfect cylindrical panel. The localization of the elastic base in the cylindrical panel also affects the natural frequencies, increasing or decreasing them depending on the modifications on the structural stiffness. The frequency-amplitude relations are strongly influenced by both unilateral contact of elastic base and the type of the contact consideration between the cylindrical panel and elastic base, exhibiting an intricated nonlinear behavior.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50303,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics","volume":"167 ","pages":"Article 104884"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142098921","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}

Through the large load cyclic loading experiment of the metal rubber damper, the hysteresis characteristics of the metal rubber damper without fatigue fracture were ana-lyzed in depth. Based on the electromagnetic theory and the force and displacement constitutive relationship of the metal rubber, the Preisach mechanical hysteresis model was established.

The error was controlled within 2 %. Especially in the abrupt region of the unloading curve, the nonlinear stiffness error of the Preisach model was determined to be only half of that of the traditional model. The Preisach mechanical hysteresis model deeply explores the microscopic electromagnetic characteristics of the metal rubber damper, thus revealing the internal mechanism of its hysteresis change.

The conventional design method makes it difficult to describe the dynamic response of such complex systems with a unified model. To end these, a dynamic junction bond space method is proposed for analyzing muzzle vibration and firing dispersion under continuous firing loads, where the gene expression programming (GEP) method is adopted to construct the surrogate model for the buffer flow field. For the coupling analysis of the projectile and barrel, the projectile load is applied at a moving junction, which coincides with the flexible node of the barrel. By this, the dynamic numerical model for autocannon firing dispersion is established, and then the system state equation is obtained for each time step.

HAR wings have a high span and a high lift-to-drag ratio, allowing the wing to require less thrust during flight. However, due to their length and construction, HAR wings exhibit low-frequency, high-amplitude vibrations in both vertical (yaw axis) and longitudinal (roll axis) directions. To combat these unwanted vibrations, a two-dimensional nonlinear vibration absorber (2D-NVA) is constructed and attached to a model HAR-wing airplane to verify its effectiveness at reducing vibrational motion. The 2D-NVA design, which was presented in a previous study, consists of two low-mass, rigid bodies namely the housing and the impactor. The housing consists of a ring-like rigid body in the shape of an ellipse, while the impactor is a solid cylindrical mass which resides inside the cavity of the housing. The 2D-NVA is designed such that the impactor can contact the inner surface of the housing under both impacts and constrained sliding motion. The present study focuses on the use of the 2D-NVA to mitigate multiple modes of vibration excited by impulsive loading of a model airplane with HAR wings in both vertical and longitudinal directions. The effectiveness of a single 2D-NVA is investigated computationally using a finite element model of the model airplane. These results are verified experimentally and the performance of two 2D-NVAs (one on each wing) is also investigated. The contributions of this work are that: 1) the 2D-NVA alters the global response of the model aircraft by mitigating all relevant modes in both directions simultaneously; 2) a single 2D-NVA is optimal for mitigating motion in the vertical direction, while two active 2D-NVAs are optimal for the longitudinal direction; and 3) the performance of the 2D-NVA is robust to changes in the frequency content of the parent structure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":50303,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Non-Linear Mechanics","volume":"167 ","pages":"Article 104878"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2024-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142048923","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}

Inspired by biological swimmers in nature that utilize body flexibility, in this work we consider an underactuated three-link swimmer where one joint is periodically actuated while the other joint is passive and viscoelastic. Analysis of the swimmer’s nonlinear dynamics reveals that its motion depends significantly on the amplitude and frequency of the actuated joint angle. Optimal frequency is found where the swimmer’s net displacement per cycle is maximized, under symmetric periodic oscillations of the passive joint. In addition, upon crossing critical values of amplitude or frequency, the system undergoes a bifurcation where the symmetric periodic solution loses stability and asymmetric solutions evolve, for which the swimmer moves along an arc. We analyze these phenomena using numerical simulations and analytical methods of perturbation expansion, harmonic balance, Floquet theory, and Hill’s determinant.

In this study, we investigate the nonlinear static and dynamic responses of a planar guyed tower in which the unilateral constraints on the cables are considered. A representative discrete mechanical model with two degrees of freedom is developed to simulate the central mast of the tower, and the cables are modeled as unilateral springs with linear stiffness. The nonlinear equilibrium equations are derived using an energy approach that incorporates the dissipative forces, total potential, and kinetic energies into the Euler-Lagrange equations. Unilateral cable contact is directly included in the nonlinear equilibrium equation for the guyed tower, allowing for numerical analysis without the need to evaluate the contact point at each time or load step. Several numerical strategies are employed to obtain nonlinear static equilibrium paths, bifurcation diagrams, phase portraits, and Poincaré sections. Our analyses provide novel results for the influence of unilateral cable contact in nonlinear static and dynamic analysis, evaluating the effects of unilateral contact and prestressing on the results. A parametric analysis reveals that cable contact affects nonlinear oscillations, bifurcation, and stability. Our numerical results indicate that unilateral cable contact introduces less structural stiffness compared to bilateral contact, thereby significantly affecting the static and dynamic stability of a planar guyed tower.
