Abstract

A nonlinear dynamical system is investigated which consists from a mass between two linear elastic connecting elements with different coefficients of stiffness. Laws of vibrations and characteristics of eigenvibrations of the system as well as of self-decaying vibrations of the system with damping and of the system with harmonic excitation are determined. Dynamical qualities of the system are revealed. It is shown that the system has infinite number of eigenfrequencies and that in the resonance zones multivalued stable and unstable motions do not exist in the system.

1. Introduction

Basic concepts of investigation of vibrating systems are presented in [1]. Stabilisation of periodic nonlinear systems is investigated in [2]. Frequency analysis of a typical system is performed in [3]. Pendulum mechanism is investigated in [4]. Nonlinear vibrations of a piecewise linear model are analysed in [5]. Multiple resonant zones are investigated in [6]. Sommerfeld effect is analysed in [7]. Isolated resonances are investigated in [8]. Dynamics of vibromotors is analysed in [9].

This paper is dedicated for the investigation of a nonlinear system which does not possess multivalued regimes. Moreover, amplitude-frequency characteristics of such kind of system are linear. Such types of systems are important from the point of view of different engineering applications where stationary regimes do posses the stability in respect to different law of motions and energy regimes. The governing system of equations describing the investigated class of systems reads:

1
x¨+2h1x˙+p12x=fsinωt, x0,
2
x¨+2h2x˙+p22x=fsinωt, x0.

It is assumed that:

3
p1<p2,hi,pi, i=1,2, f=const, ˙=ddt.

2. The conservative system

In this case in the Eqs. (1), (2) it is assumed that:

4
hi=0, i=1,2, f=0.

According to the Eqs. (1), (4) when the initial conditions of motion are:

5
t=0:x=0, x˙=-x˙-, x˙->0,t=T-1:x=0, x˙=+x˙-,

it is obtained in the interval t0,T-1:

6
x=-x˙+psinp1t,x˙=-x˙+cosp1t.

From where it is obtained:

7
T-1=πp1.

Motion in the interval:

8
tT-1,T-1+T2,

takes place continuously, that is at t=T-1:x=0, x˙=x˙-. According to the Eqs. (2), (4):

9
x=x˙-p2sinp2t-T-1,x˙=x˙-cosp2t-T-1.

From the Eqs. (8), (9):

10
T-2=πp2,

and:

11
T-=πp1+p2p1p2=2πω-,

where the frequency of eigenvibrations ω-:

12
ω-=2p1p2p1+p2.

The whole solution by performing general notation x is obtained:

13
x=-x˙-p1sinp1t t0,T-1+x˙-p2sinp2t-T-1 tT-1,T-,
14
x˙=-x˙-cosp1t t0,T-1+x˙-cosp2t-T-1 tT-1,T-,
15
x¨=p1x˙-sinp1t t0,T-1-p2x˙-sinp2t-T-1 tT-1,T-.

Further x, x˙, x¨ by taking into account the Eqs. (13)-(15) expansion into the Fourier series with respect to ω- is performed:

16
x=n=0xnnω-t, x˙=n=0x˙nnω-t, x¨=n=0x¨nnω-t,

and the following relationships are obtained:

17
xa=n=0xna, x˙a=n=0x˙na, x¨a=n=0x¨na,

where xa is the maximum deviation from the medium value of the whole process, xna are the amplitudes of the respective harmonics. In the same way the expansions of x˙ and x¨ are performed.

According to the Eqs. (13)-(17) by assuming:

18
p1=1, p2=2,

and the initial conditions of motion at t=0:

19
x=0, x˙=-x˙-<0,

graphical relationships are obtained x=xt,x˙=x˙t,x¨=x¨t,x˙x¨=x˙x¨t,x˙=x˙x,x¨=x¨x˙, x˙x¨=x˙x¨x (see Fig. 1).

According to the Eq. (12) eigenfrequency of the system:

20
ω-=2121+2=43.

In the expansions into the Fourier series the first four members n=0,1,2,3 are taken into account.

By taking into account the Eqs. (11), (12) Table 1 is obtained.

4. Conclusions

On the basis of the presented results the qualities of dynamic behavior of the nonlinear vibrating system which consists from a mass between two linear elastic connecting members with different coefficients of stiffness can be used in different engineering applications requiring the stability in a wide range of parameters.

The motions of the system and amplitude frequency characteristics are determined by analytical – numerical method relationships. It is determined that for the case of the conservative system eigenfrequencies do not depend on the value of the amplitude of excitation. It is shown that for the case of forced harmonic excitation stable and unstable multivalued regimes do not exist in the system. Also, separate classes of nonlinear dynamical systems are investigated which have qualities of similar type.

The presented results enable to perform the design of nonlinear vibrating systems of this type. This enables to create new systems which can be noted by high stability properties, because in the vicinities of resonances they do not have multivalued solutions.
