Emily Stone Department of Mathematical Sciences, The University of Montana, Missoula, MT 59812 U.S.A. Abstract In this paper we present stability analysis of a nonlinear model for chatter vibration in a drilling operation. The results build our previous work [1, 2], where the model was developed and the nonlinear stability of the vibration modes as cutting width is varied was presented. Here we...

Conventional vibration signals processing techniques are most suitable for stationary processes. However, most mechanical faults in machinery reveal themselves through transient events in vibration signals. That is, the vibration generated by industrial machines always contains nonlinear and nonstationary signals. It is expected that a desired time-frequency analysis method should have good com...

This paper presents vibration analysis of an autoparametric pendulum-like mechanism subjected to harmonic excitation. To improve dynamics and control motions, a new suspension composed of a semiactive magnetorheological damper and a nonlinear spring is applied. The influence of essential parameters such as the nonlinear damping or stiffness on vibration, near the main parametric resonance regio...

In this paper, Homotopy Analysis Method is used to analyze free non-linear vibrations of a beam simply supported by pinned ends under axial force. Mid-plane stretching is also considered for dynamic equation extracted for the beam. Galerkin decomposition technique is used to transform a partial dimensionless nonlinear differential equation of dynamic motion into an ordinary nonlinear differenti...

In this paper, the nonlinear vibration behavior of a rotor with asymmetric shaft considering misalignment is studied. The system consists of a rectangular shaft and a disk which is connected to a motor through a flexible coupling. In order to consider higher order deformations, nonlinear Bernoulli beam is used for modeling the shaft. Gibbons’ equations are utilized to apply misaligned coupling ...

multi frequency vibrations of a system of two isotropic circular plates interconnected by a rolling visco-elastic layer that has nonlinear characteristics are considered. the system with two circular plates and interconnecting discrete continually distributed rolling visco nonlinear elastic rheological elements presents the model of hybrid nonlinear system. the analytical solutions of first asy...

This article studied static deflection, natural frequency and nonlinear vibration of a clamped-clamped microbeam under discontinues electrostatic actuation. The electrostatic actuation was induced by applying AC-DC voltage between the microbeam and electrode plate. In contrast to previous works, it was assumed that length of the electrode plate was smaller than that of the microbeam. In additio...
