Multistability and localization in forced cyclic symmetric structures modelled by weakly-coupled Duffing oscillators
Many engineering structures are composed of weakly coupled sectors assembled
in a cyclic and ideally symmetric configuration, which can be simplified as
forced Duffing oscillators. In this paper, we study the emergence of localized
states in the weakly nonlinear regime. We show that multiple spatially
localized solutions may exist, and the resulting bifurcation diagram strongly
resembles the snaking pattern observed in a variety of fields in physics, such
as optics and fluid dynamics. Moreover, in the transition from the linear to
the nonlinear behaviour isolated branches of solutions are identified.
Localization is caused by the hardening effect introduced by the nonlinear
stiffness, and occurs at large excitation levels. Contrary to the case of
mistuning, the presented localization mechanism is triggered by the
nonlinearities and arises in perfectly homogeneous systems
Reconstruction of governing equations from vibration measurements for geometrically nonlinear systems
© 2019 by the authors. Data-driven system identification procedures have recently enabled the reconstruction of governing differential equations from vibration signal recordings. In this contribution, the sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics is applied to structural dynamics of a geometrically nonlinear system. First, the methodology is validated against the forced Duffing oscillator to evaluate its robustness against noise and limited data. Then, differential equations governing the dynamics of two weakly coupled cantilever beams with base excitation are reconstructed from experimental data. Results indicate the appealing abilities of data-driven system identification: underlying equations are successfully reconstructed and (non-)linear dynamic terms are identified for two experimental setups which are comprised of a quasi-linear system and a system with impacts to replicate a piecewise hardening behavior, as commonly observed in contacts
A probabilistic model of uncertainties in the substructures and interfaces of a dynamical system: application to the torsional vibration of a drill-string
International audienceIn this paper a new strategy for modeling uncertainties in the substructures and interfaces of a dynamical system is presented. This strategy is based on (1) the reduction of the dynamical model of each substructure using the Craig-Bampton method and (2) the use of the nonparametric probabilistic approach for the global modeling of uncertainties in each substructure. As an improvement with respect to existing nonparametric methods, the methodology proposed here constructs separated models of uncertainties for the inner and interface degrees of freedom, which allows to control separately the levels of fluctuation induced by these two sources of uncertainties. This methodology is applied for the analysis of the random vibration of a drill-string. Three strategies are compared: (1) a full nonparametric probabilistic approach on all the system, (2) the existing nonparametric probabilistic approach together with the Craig-Bampton substructuring method, and (3) the new nonparametric probabilistic approach proposed here with the separation of the inner and interface degrees of freedom uncertainties. It turns out that, for the same level of uncertainty, the three approaches give similar results but the new approach gives more flexibility for the control of the probabilistic model
Solitons in Cyclic and Symmetric Structures
International audienceThis research focuses on localised states arising from modulationally unstable plane waves in non-conservative cyclic and symmetric structures. The main application is on vibrations of bladed-disks of aircraft engines experiencing non-linear effects, such as large displacements, friction dissipation, and/or complex fluid-structure interactions. The investigation is based on a minimal model composed of a chain of linearly damped Duffing oscillators under external travelling wave excitation. The computed results are based on two strategies: (1) a Non-Linear Schrödinger Equation (NLSE) approximation; and (2) the periodic and quasi-periodic Harmonic Balance Methods (HBM). In both cases, the results show that unstable plane waves may self-modulate, leading to stable and unstable single and multiple solitons configurations
Nonlinear vibration localisation in a symmetric system of two coupled beams
We report nonlinear vibration localisation in a system of two symmetric weakly coupled nonlinear oscillators. A two degree-of-freedom model with piecewise linear stiffness shows bifurcations to localised solutions. An experimental investigation employing two weakly coupled beams touching against stoppers for large vibration amplitudes confirms the nonlinear localisation
