Dynamic Harmonic Balance Principle and Analysis of Rocking Block Motions
نویسنده
چکیده
The harmonic balance (HB) principle is a powerful and convenient tool for finding periodic solutions in nonlinear systems. In the present paper, this principle is extended to transient processes in systems with one single-valued odd-symmetric nonlinearity and linear plant not having zeros in the transfer function, and named the dynamic HB. Based on the dynamic HB, first the equations for the amplitude, frequency, and amplitude decay of an oscillatory process in the Lure system are derived. It is then applied to analysis of rocking block decaying motions. An example is provided.

متن کاملModified Linear Approximation for Assessment of Rigid Block Dynamics
This study proposes a new linear approximation for solving the dynamic response equations of a rocking rigid block. Linearization assumptions which have already been used by Hounser and other researchers cannot be valid for all rocking blocks with various slenderness ratios and dimensions; hence, developing new methods which can result in better approximation of governing equations while keepin...

In this report the transient rocking response of electrical equipment subjected to trigonometric pulses and near-source ground motions is investigated in detail. First the rocking response of a rigid block subjected to a half-sine pulse motion is reviewed. It is shown that the solution presented by Housner (1963) for the minimum acceleration amplitude of a half-sine pulse that is needed to over...

In this study, a hybrid method is proposed to investigate the nonlinear vibrations of pre- and post-buckled rectangular plates for the first time. This is an answer to an existing need to develope a fast and precise numerical model which can handle the nonlinear vibrations of buckled plates under different boundary conditions and plate shapes. The method uses the differential quadrature element...
