in this paper, the effects of transverse cracks on rotating shaft were studied. according to earlier works, crack shaft failure decrease the critical speed of the shaft and also exhibit a nonlinear vibration behaviour leading to increases the amplitude of 1x and 2x harmonics (first and second order of rotational speed in torsional vibration). this suggests that the application of order analysis...

the presence of van der waals (vdw) force can lead to mechanical instability in freestanding nano-scale actuators. most of the previous researches in this area have exclusively focused on modeling the instability in actuators with one actuating components. while, less attention has been paid to actuators consist of two actuating components. herein, the effect of the vdw force on the instability...

the high blood rate that often occurs in arteries may play a role in artery failure and tortuosity which leads to blackouts, transitory ischemic attacks and other diseases. however, vibration and instability analysis of carotid arteries are lacking. the objective of this study is to investigate the vibration and instability of the carotid arteries conveying blood under axial tension with surrou...

An efficient and accurate analytical solution is provided using the homotopy-Pade technique for the nonlinear vibration of parametrically excited cantilever beams. The model is based on the Euler-Bernoulli assumption and includes third order nonlinear terms arisen from the inertial and curvature nonlinearities. The Galerkin’s method is used to convert the equation of motion to a nonlinear ordin...

In this article, vibration characteristics and the parametric instability of functionally graded material (FGM) plates with cyclic loading in a hygrothermal field are discussed. The plate element is modeled in a finite element by applying the third-order shear deformation hypothesis. The mathematical formulation of the FGM plate is made with two material constituents by applying the power rule ...

This paper studies the nonlinear vibration analysis of a simply supported Euler-Bernoulli beam resting on a nonlinear elastic foundation under compressive axial load using nonlinear normal modes concept in the case of three-to-one (3:1) internal resonance. The beam’s governing nonlinear PDE of motion and also its boundary conditions are derived and then solved using the method of Multiple Time ...

in this paper coupled nonlinear equations of motion of a suspended cable with time dependent tension and velocity are derived by using hamilton’s principal. a modal analysis for a stationary sagged cable is initially carried out in order to identify the dynamic system. the natural solution is directed to compute the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the free vibration of a suspended cable....

prediction of fluid-elastic instability is a great matter of importance in designing cross-flow tube bundles from the perspective of vibration. in the present paper, the threshold of fluid-elastic instability has been numerically predicted via simulation of incompressible, unsteady, and turbulent cross-flow through a tube bundle in a normal triangular arrangement. the conditions of simulation i...

The aim of this paper is firstly to address the consequences of the nonlinear interactions between higher order modes and the first order mode of a flexible cantilever beam. The tested cantilever beam exhibited numerous nonlinear phenomena that are commonly observed in many flexible structures. The experimental results have shown that active control of the nonlinear vibration in a flexible stru...
