چکیده

In this paper, we study the nonlinear response of the nonlinear mass-spring model with nonsmooth stiffness. For this purpose, we take as prototype model, a system that consists of the double-well smooth potential with an additional spring component acting on the system only for large enough displacement. We focus our study on the analysis of the homoclinic orbits for such nonlinear potential for which we observe the appearance of chaotic motion in the presence of damping effects and an external harmonic force, analyzing the crucial role of the linear spring in the dynamics of our system. The results are shown by using both the Melnikov analysis and numerical simulations. We expect our work to have implications on problems concerning the suspension of vehicles, among others.

Phase Control in the Mass-Spring Model with nonsmooth stiffness and External excitation

The control of the chaotic dynamics in a nonlinear mass-spring model with non-smooth stiffness is analyzed here. This is carried out by applying the phase control technique, which uses a periodic perturbation of a suitable phase φ. For this purpose, we take as prototype model a system consiting in a double-well potential with an additional spring component, which acts into the system only for l...

Application of the method of multiple scales for nonlinear vibration analysis of mechanical systems with dry and lubricated clearance joints

In this study, the method of multiple scales is used to perform a nonlinear vibration analysis of a mechanical system in two cases; with dry and lubricated clearance joints. In the dry contact case, the Lankarani-Nikravesh model is used to represent the contact force between the joined bodies. The surface elasticity is modeled as a nonlinear spring-damper element. Primary resonance is discussed...

The Attitude of Variation of Elastic Modules in Single Wall Carbon Nanotubes: Nonlinear Mass-Spring Model

The examination of variation of elastic modules in single wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) is the aim of this paper. Full nonlinear spring-like elements are employed to simulate specific atomic structures in the commercial code ABAQUS. Carbon atoms are attached to each node as a mass point using atomic mass of carbon atoms. The influence of dimensions such as variation of length, diameter, aspect...

An Influence of Trench Formation on Steel Catenary Risers Based on a Hysteretic Nonlinear Seabed Model

A steel catenary riser (SCR) attached to a floating platform at its upper end encounters fluctuations in and near its touchdown zone (TDZ), which causes the interaction with the seabed. Subsea surveys and the analysis of SCR’s indicated that the greatest stress and highest damage occurred near the touchdown point (TDP), where the SCR first touches the seabed. Nowadays, the linear seabed spring ...

The Effect of Axial Force Variations on Nonlinear Modeling and Seismic Response of Reinforced Concrete Structures

In order to increase the accuracy of evaluating seismic response of structures, it is critical to conduct dynamic analyses based upon precise nonlinear models being as consistent as possible with the real conditions of corresponding structures. The concentrated plasticity model including one elastic element and two nonlinear spring elements at both ends has been considered within the research c...
