Hardening/softening behaviour in non-linear oscillations of structural systems using non-linear normal modes

چکیده
The definition of a non-linear normal mode (NNM) as an invariant manifold in phase space is used. In conservative cases, it is shown that normal form theory allows one to compute all NNMs, as well as the attendant dynamics onto the manifolds, in a single operation. Then, a single-mode motion is studied. The aim of the present work is to show that too severe trunc ature using a single linear mode c an lead to erroneous results. Using single-non-linear mode motion predic ts the c orrec t behaviour. Henc e, the nonlinear c hange of c o-ordinates allowing one to pass from the linear modal variables to the normal ones, linked to the NNMs, defines a framework to properly truncate non-linear vibration PDEs. Two examples are studied: a disc rete system (a mass c onnec ted to two springs) and a c ontinuous one (a linear Euler– Bernoulli beam resting on a non-linear elastic foundation). For the latter, a comparison is given between the developed method and previously published results.

NORMAL FORM SOLUTION OF REDUCED ORDER OSCILLATING SYSTEMS
This paper describes a preliminary investigation into the use of normal form theory for modelling large non-linear dynamical systems. Limit cycle oscillations are determined for simple two-degree-of-freedom double pendulum systems. The double pendulum system is reduced into its centre manifold before computing normal forms. Normal forms are obtained using a period averaging method which is appl...

Delamination fracture of a two-dimensional functionally graded multilayered four-point bending beam that exhibits non-linear behaviour of the material is analyzed. The fracture is studied analytically in terms of the strain energy release rate. The beam under consideration has an arbitrary number of layers. Each layer has individual thickness and material properties. A delamination crack is loc...
متن کاملNonlinear normal modes for damped geometrically nonlinear systems: Application to reduced-order modelling of harmonically forced structures
In order to build efficient reduced-order models (ROMs) for geometrically nonlinear vibrations of thin structures, a normal form procedure is computed for a general class of nonlinear oscillators with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities. The linear perturbation brought by considering a modal viscous damping term is especially addressed in the formulation. A special attention is focused on how al...
