    Nonlinear response of infinitely long circular cylindrical shells to subharmonic radial loads (1991)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-12
    Description: The nonlinear response of infinitely long circular cylindrical shells (thin circular rings) in the presence of a two-to-one internal (autoparametric) resonance to a subharmonic excitation of order one-half of the higher mode is analyzed with the multiple-scale method. Four autonomous first-order ordinary differential equations are derived for the modulation of the amplitudes and phases of the interacting models. These modulation equations are used to determine the fixed points and their stability. The fixed points correspond to periodic oscillations of the shell, whereas the limit-cycle solutions of the modulation equations correspond to amplitude and phase-modulated oscillations of the shell. The force response curves exhibit saturation, jumps, and Hopf bifurcation. As excitation frequency changes, all limit cycles deform and lose stability through either pitchfork or cyclic-fold (saddle-node) bifurcations. Some of these saddle-node bifurcations cause a transition to chaos. The pitchfork bifurcations break the symmetry of the limit cycles.

    On identification of structures with internal resonances (1992)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Identification of structures which exhibit modal interactions is considered, and the difficulties experienced due to these interactions are examined. Free oscillations of quadratically and cubically coupled pairs of oscillators are analytically studied to illustrate nonlinear interactions between structural modes involved in two-to-one and one-to-one frequency relationships. In light of this study, results obtained from application of the eigensystem realization algorithm toward identification of a beam-mass structure with a two-to-one frequency relationship and quadratic coupling are presented and discussed.

    Shear deformation plate continua of large double-layered space structures (1984)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The energy equivalence to construct equivalent continua for the actual lattice structure is described. An energy equivalent continuum is defined as that which has the same amount of strain and kinetic energies stored in it as the original lattice structure when both are subjected to the same loading conditions. The equivalent continuum is characterized by its strain and kinetic energies from which the constitutive relations and the equations of motion can be derived. A simple method to model large rigid jointed lattices as continuous media with couple stresses is presented. The transition from the discrete system to the continuous medium is achieved by expanding the displacements and the rotations of the nodal points in a Taylor series about a suitable chosen origin. Basic kinematic assumptions are introduced to insure that the assumptions used in deriving the governing equations of the modeled continuum are satisfied. The number of terms retained in the Taylor series expansion will depend upon the properties to be evaluated. This implies that the kind of continuum needed to model from the discrete lattice, before the actual properties are derived was to predetermined.

    Geometric modeling and analysis of large latticed surfaces (1980)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The application of geometrical schemes, similar to geodesic domes, to large spherical antenna reflectors was investigated. The shape and size of flat segmented latticed surfaces which approximate general shells of revolution, and in particular spherical and paraboloidal reflective surfaces, were determined. The extensive mathematical and computational geometric analyses of the reflector resulted in the development of a general purpose computer program capable of generating the complete design parameters of the dish. The program also includes a graphical self contained subroutine for graphic display of the required design.

    Non-linear resonances in the forced responses of plates. I - Symmetric responses of circular plates (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: The dynamic analogue of the von Karman equations is used to study the symmetric response of a circular plate to a harmonic excitation when the frequency of the excitation is near one of the natural frequencies. It is shown that, in general, when there is no internal resonance (i.e., the natural frequencies are not commensurable), only the mode having a frequency near that of the excitation is strongly excited (i.e., is needed to represent the response in the first approximation). A clamped, circular plate is used as a numerical example to show that, when there is an internal resonance, more than one of the modes involved in this resonance can be strongly excited; moreover, when more than one mode is strongly excited, the lower modes can dominate the response, even when the frequency of the excitation is near that of the highest mode. This possibility was not revealed by any of the earlier studies which were based on the same governing equations.

    Nonlinear resonances in a class of multi-degree-of-freedom systems (1975)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: An analysis is presented of the superharmonic, subharmonic, and combination resonances in a multi-degree-of-freedom system which has cubic nonlinearity and modal viscous damping and is subject to harmonic excitation. It is shown that, in the absence of internal resonances, the steady-state response contains only the modes which are directly excited. It is shown that, in the presence of internal resonances, modes other than those that are directly excited can appear in the response. The strong influence of internal resonances is exhibited in numerical examples involving hinged-clamped beams. It is shown that when a multimode solution exists the lowest mode can dominate the response, even when it is not directly excited.

    Nonlinear analysis of the forced response of structural elements (1974)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-27
    Description: A general procedure is presented for the nonlinear analysis of the forced response of structural elements to harmonic excitations. Internal resonances (i.e., modal interactions) are taken into account. All excitations are considered, with special consideration given to resonant excitations. The general procedure is applied to clamped-hinged beams. The results reveal that exciting a higher mode may lead to a larger response in a lower interacting mode, contrary to the results of linear analyses.

    Effective constitutive relations for large repetitive frame-like structures (1981)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-20
    Description: Effective mechanical properties for large repetitive framelike structures are derived using combinations of strength of material and orthogonal transformation techniques. Symmetry considerations are used in order to identify independent property constants. The actual values of these constants are constructed according to a building block format which is carried out in the three consecutive steps: (1) all basic planar lattices are identified; (2) effective continuum properties are derived for each of these planar basic grids using matrix structural analysis methods; and (3) orthogonal transformations are used to determine the contribution of each basic set to the overall effective continuum properties of the structure.

    Continuum modeling of the mechanical and thermal behavior of discrete large structures (1980)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-07-13
    Description: In the present paper we introduce a rather straightforward construction procedure in order to derive continuum equivalence of discrete truss-like repetitive structures. Once the actual structure is specified, the construction procedure can be outlined by the following three steps: (a) all sets of parallel members are identified, (b) unidirectional 'effective continuum' properties are derived for each of these sets and (c) orthogonal transformations are finally used to determine the contribution of each set to the 'overall effective continuum' properties of the structure. Here the properties includes mechanical (stiffnesses), thermal (coefficients of thermal expansions) and material densities. Once expanded descriptions of the steps (b) and (c) are done, the construction procedure will be applied to a wide variety of discrete structures and the results will be compared with those of other existing methods.

    Dynamic characteristics of large repetitive framelike structures (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Using a building block approach and starting with a single element, expressions for the energy of various two-dimensional frametype gridwork configurations are derived. These are then used to develop energy equivalent continua for the gridworks. Equations of motion and associated boundary conditions are obtained for the continua. Some dynamic characteristics of these continua are investigated and compared with corresponding results obtained from finite element codes and also with some available theoretical predictions.
