Book Nonlinear Vibration with Control

Download or read book Nonlinear Vibration with Control written by David Wagg and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-11-03 with total page 461 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive discussion of nonlinear multi-modal structural vibration problems, and shows how vibration suppression can be applied to such systems by considering a sample set of relevant control techniques. It covers the basic principles of nonlinear vibrations that occur in flexible and/or adaptive structures, with an emphasis on engineering analysis and relevant control techniques. Understanding nonlinear vibrations is becoming increasingly important in a range of engineering applications, particularly in the design of flexible structures such as aircraft, satellites, bridges, and sports stadia. There is an increasing trend towards lighter structures, with increased slenderness, often made of new composite materials and requiring some form of deployment and/or active vibration control. There are also applications in the areas of robotics, mechatronics, micro electrical mechanical systems, non-destructive testing and related disciplines such as structural health monitoring. Two broader themes cut across these application areas: (i) vibration suppression – or active damping – and, (ii) adaptive structures and machines. In this expanded 2nd edition, revisions include: An additional section on passive vibration control, including nonlinear vibration mounts. A more in-depth description of semi-active control, including switching and continuous schemes for dampers and other semi-active systems. A complet e reworking of normal form analysis, which now includes new material on internal resonance, bifurcation of backbone curves and stability analysis of forced responses. Further analysis of the nonlinear dynamics of cables including internal resonance leading to whirling. Additional material on the vibration of systems with impact friction. The book is accessible to practitioners in the areas of application, as well as students and researchers working on related topics. In particular, the aim is to introduce the key concepts of nonlinear vibration to readers who have an understanding of linear vibration and/or linear control, but no specialist knowledge in nonlinear dynamics or nonlinear control.

Book Nonlinear Dynamics of Continuous Elastic Systems

Download or read book Nonlinear Dynamics of Continuous Elastic Systems written by Jan Awrejcewicz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 351 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is devoted to recent advances in nonlinear dynamics of continuous elastic systems. A major part of the book is dedicated to the analysis of non-homogeneous continua, e.g. plates and shells characterized by sudden changes in their thickness, possessing holes in their bodies or/and edges, made from different materials with diverse dynamical characteristics and complicated boundary conditions. New theoretical and numerical approaches for analyzing the dynamics of such continua are presented, such as the method of added masses and the method of proper orthogonal decomposition. The presented hybrid approach leads to results that cannot be obtained by other standard theories in the field. The demonstrated methods are illustrated by numerous examples of application.

Book Nonlinear Dynamics of Shells and Plates Subjected to Pulsatile Flow

Download or read book Nonlinear Dynamics of Shells and Plates Subjected to Pulsatile Flow written by Eleonora Tubaldi and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Flow-induced vibrations due to unsteady flow often occur in many engineering areas. A specific type of unsteady flow is represented by oscillatory and pulsatile flows, which are prevalent in industrial and biological systems; applications include pump and valve operations in pipeline systems as well as blood circulation. Associated to pulsatility, wave propagation in elastic tubes is recognized as the fundamental principle of the pressure pulse in arteries. This propagation phenomenon is due to the fluid-structure interaction and not to fluid compressibility. The pulse wave velocity is related to the underlying vessel wall stiffness. In biomechanics and vascular surgery, thin-walled shell theory can be applied to model the mechanics of veins, arteries, pulmonary passages, and artificial blood vessels. This thesis focuses on the development of a new theoretical framework able to reproduce the nonlinear dynamic response of shells and plates to axial pulsatile flow. The flow is set in motion by a pulsatile pressure gradient. Coupled fluid-structure Lagrange equations of motion for a non-material volume subject to pulsatile flow and pressure with and without wave propagation are obtained and presented for the first time in the literature. The studied systems are represented by a plate periodically supported and a circular cylindrical shell with flexible boundary conditions. The fluid model is based on the potential flow theory. Numerical bifurcation analysis and time integration methods are employed to investigate the stability of the systems described using a refined reduced order model. The plate is modeled based on the von Kármán nonlinear plate theory and it is assumed to be periodically simply supported in both in-plane directions with immovable edges. The flow channel is bounded by a rigid wall. The effects on the dynamics of the plate of different system parameters such as flow velocity, pulsation amplitude, pulsation frequency, and channel pressurization are fully discussed. In vascular surgery, artificial blood vessels used for repairing and replacing damaged thoracic aorta in cases of aneurysm, dissection or coarctation can be modeled as thin-walled shells conveying pulsating flow. For this purpose, in this study, isotropic and orthotropic circular cylindrical shells with mechanical properties of woven Dacron thoracic prostheses are modeled using the nonlinear Novozhilov shell theory. A pulsatile time-dependent blood flow model is considered by applying physiological waveforms of velocity and pressure during the heart beating period. The fluid is assumed to be Newtonian and the pulsatile flow is formulated using a hybrid model that contains the unsteady effects obtained from the linear potential flow theory and the pulsatile viscous effects obtained from the unsteady time-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. Geometrically nonlinear vibrations displaying interesting and intricate nonlinear dynamics (chaos, amplitude modulation and period-doubling bifurcation) are presented via frequency-response curves, time histories, bifurcation diagrams, and Poincaré maps. This study provides an efficient fluid-structure interaction model that can reveal important aspects on the nonlinear dynamics and stability of systems conveying pulsatile flow. It also addresses a crucial but still unexplored issue in cardiovascular surgery related to the dynamics of Dacron vascular grafts subject to physiological pulsatile blood flow. An innovative formulation of the three-dimensional quasi-linear viscoelasticity is presented and applied to fit original experimental data of relaxation in axial and circumferential directions of a woven Dacron aortic graft. Experimental dynamic tests have been conducted on a Dacron prosthesis pressurized with a blood analog fluid. Modal damping values and natural frequencies have been estimated by experimental modal analysis. Numerical simulations and comparisons with experimental results are reported." --
