Book On the Normal Modes of Nonlinear Coupled Ship Motions and Their Stability

Download or read book On the Normal Modes of Nonlinear Coupled Ship Motions and Their Stability written by W. D. Kinney and published by . This book was released on 1962 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The concept of normal oscillations of a nonlinear conservative system is introduced and applied to the ship motion problem. In addition the stability of these normal modes is investigated and found to depend in general on the same parameters given in previous investigations. Since the normal oscillations represent a combined motion in the degrees of freedom concerned, an unstable mode does not necessarily imply unbounded motion in any one of the degrees of freedom. Since the system is assumed to be conservative, all displacements are necessarily finite. A knowledge of those straight normal modes which are stable is important since it is reasonable to conclude that the motion of ships in calm water will take place near those normal modes. In the absence of damping, the system is conservative, and hence the total energy of the system is a constant. This implies that all displacements and velocities must be finite. Because damping is always present, the system must ultimately reach a stable equilibrium position since energy is constantly dissipated from the system. (Author).

Book On the Unstable Rolling Motions of Ships Resulting from Nonlinear Coupling with Pitch Including the Effect of Damping in Roll

Download or read book On the Unstable Rolling Motions of Ships Resulting from Nonlinear Coupling with Pitch Including the Effect of Damping in Roll written by W. D. Kinney and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The equations of motion for a ship pitching and rolling in a calm sea were found to be coupled by means of a second order term in the rolling equation of motion. When the pitching motion is simple harmonic the equation of motion in roll is of the Mathieu type, the two independent parameters being pitching amplitude and frequency. The stability diagram of the Mathieu equation including the effect of linear damping is determined theoretically and verified by solving the Mathieu equation on an analogue computer. In experiments with one ship model form, it was found that the transition from stable to unstable motion occurred for the value of the parameters predicted by the theory, and that the rolling motions obtained experimentally closely resembled the computer solutions. It was concluded that (1) unstable rolling motions are possible for very small pitching amplitudes, (2) when the natural frequency of pitch is twice that of roll the amplitude required to produce unstable motion is a minimum, and (3) for any pitching frequency, the greater the amount of damping, the greater the amplitude of pitching must become to produce unstable rolling motions.

Book Instability of Ship Motions in Longitudinal Waves Resulting from Nonlinear Coupling

Download or read book Instability of Ship Motions in Longitudinal Waves Resulting from Nonlinear Coupling written by C. S. HSU and published by . This book was released on 1961 with total page 1 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An investigation was made of the effect of certain nonlinear coupling terms on the heave-pitchroll motions of a ship moving in longitudinal waves (either head or following waves). Linear damping terms were retained in the analysis because when forced ship motions under wave excitation are studied, the damping terms are essential elements of the problem. The analysis for the heave-pitch-roll system showed the existence of a type of instability such that the responses in pitch or roll may grow without bound even when the effect of damping was taken into account because of nonlinear coupling between heave and pitch and between heave and roll. This is in contrast to the results obtained from the linear theory in which, because of the presence of damping, all the responses are finite. (Author).

Book IUTAM Symposium on Nonlinear Dynamics for Advanced Technologies and Engineering Design

Download or read book IUTAM Symposium on Nonlinear Dynamics for Advanced Technologies and Engineering Design written by Marian Wiercigroch and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-01-11 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonlinear dynamics has been enjoying a vast development for nearly four decades resulting in a range of well established theory, with the potential to significantly enhance performance, effectiveness, reliability and safety of physical systems as well as offering novel technologies and designs. By critically appraising the state of the art, it is now time to develop design criteria and technology for new generation products/processes operating on principles of nonlinear interaction and in the nonlinear regime, leading to more effective, sensitive, accurate, and durable methods than what is currently available. This new approach is expected to radically influence the design, control and exploitation paradigms, in a magnitude of contexts. With a strong emphasis on experimentally calibrated and validated models, contributions by top-level international experts will foster future directions for the development of engineering technologies and design using robust nonlinear dynamics modelling and analysis.

Book Singularities and Groups in Bifurcation Theory

Download or read book Singularities and Groups in Bifurcation Theory written by Martin Golubitsky and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-27 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been written in a frankly partisian spirit-we believe that singularity theory offers an extremely useful approach to bifurcation prob lems and we hope to convert the reader to this view. In this preface we will discuss what we feel are the strengths of the singularity theory approach. This discussion then Ieads naturally into a discussion of the contents of the book and the prerequisites for reading it. Let us emphasize that our principal contribution in this area has been to apply pre-existing techniques from singularity theory, especially unfolding theory and classification theory, to bifurcation problems. Many ofthe ideas in this part of singularity theory were originally proposed by Rene Thom; the subject was then developed rigorously by John Matherand extended by V. I. Arnold. In applying this material to bifurcation problems, we were greatly encouraged by how weil the mathematical ideas of singularity theory meshed with the questions addressed by bifurcation theory. Concerning our title, Singularities and Groups in Bifurcation Theory, it should be mentioned that the present text is the first volume in a two-volume sequence. In this volume our emphasis is on singularity theory, with group theory playing a subordinate role. In Volume II the emphasis will be more balanced. Having made these remarks, Iet us set the context for the discussion of the strengths of the singularity theory approach to bifurcation. As we use the term, bifurcation theory is the study of equations with multiple solutions.
