Analysis of in-plane 1:1:1 internal resonance of a double cable-stayed shallow arch model with cables’ external excitations

The nonlinear dynamic behaviors of a double cable-stayed shallow arch model are investigated under the one-to-one-to-one internal resonance among the lowest modes of cables and the shallow arch and external primary resonance of cables. The in-plane governing equations of the system are obtained when the harmonic excitation is applied to cables. The excitation mechanism due to the angle-variation of cable tension during motion is newly introduced. Galerkin’s method and the multi-scale method are used to obtain ordinary differential equations (ODEs) of the system and their modulation equations, respectively. Frequency- and force-response curves are used to explore dynamic behaviors of the system when harmonic excitations are symmetrically and asymmetrically applied to cables. More importantly, comparisons of frequency-response curves of the system obtained by two types of trial functions, namely, a common sine function and an exact piecewise function, of the shallow arch in Galerkin’s integration are conducted. The analysis shows that the two results have a slight difference;however, they both have sufficient accuracy to solve the proposed dynamic system.

Dynamical modeling and non-planar coupled behavior of inclined CFRP cables under simultaneous internal and external resonances

A dynamic model for an inclined carbon ?ber reinforced polymer(CFRP)cable is established, and the linear and nonlinear dynamic behaviors are investigated in detail. The partial differential equations for both the in-plane and out-of-plane dynamics of the inclined CFRP cable are obtained by Hamilton's principle. The linear eigenvalues are explored theoretically. Then, the ordinary differential equations for analyzing the dynamic behaviors are obtained by the Galerkin integral and dimensionless treatments.The steady-state solutions of the nonlinear equations are obtained by the multiple scale method(MSM) and the Newton-Raphson method. The frequency-and force-response curves are used to investigate the dynamic behaviors of the inclined CFRP cable under simultaneous internal(between the lowest in-plane and out-of-plane modes) and external resonances, i.e., the primary resonances induced by the excitations of the in-plane mode,the out-of-plane mode, and both the in-plane mode and the out-of-plane mode, respectively. The effects of the key parameters, e.g., Young's modulus, the excitation amplitude,and the frequency on the dynamic behaviors, are discussed in detail. Some interesting phenomena and results are observed and concluded.

On internal resonance analysis of a double-cable-stayed shallowarch model with elastic supports at both ends

In previous research on the nonlinear dynamics of cable-stayed bridges,boundary conditions were not properly modeled in the modeling.In order to obtain the nonlinear dynamics of cable-stayed bridges more accurately,a double-cable-stayed shallow-arch model with elastic supports at both ends and the initial configuration of bridge deck included in the modeling is developed in this study.The in-plane eigenvalue problems of the model are solved by dividing the shallow arch(SA)into three partitions according to the number of cables and the piecewise functions are taken as trial functions of the SA.Then,the in-plane one-toone-to-one internal resonance among the global mode and the local modes(two cables’modes)is investigated when external primary resonance occurs.The ordinary differential equations(ODEs)are obtained by Galerkin’s method and solved by the method of multiple time scales.The stable equilibrium solutions of modulation equations are obtained by using the NewtonRaphson method.In addition,the frequency-/force-response curves under different vertical stiffness are provided to study the nonlinear dynamic behaviors of the elastically supported model.To validate the theoretical analyses,the Runge-Kutta method is applied to obtain the numerical solutions.Finally,some interesting conclusions are drawn.

Energy transfer between components of a cable stayed beam model under the concentrated excitation:1:2 modal resonance

The present study aims to investigate the dynamic behaviors and energy transfer between components of a cable stayed beam structure subjected to a concentrated load,in which the primary resonance of the beam and one-to-two internal resonance between modes of the beam and the cable occur.Galerkin discretization and multiple time scales method are applied to derive the modulation equations of the system governing the amplitude and phase.Two sags of span ratios are defined to modulate the internal resonance.Frequency response,amplitude response,phase diagram,Poincare map,and time history curves are calculated and used to investigate the modal resonance dynamics.The results demonstrate that the beam and the cable have two resonant peaks in frequency responses,where the beam always shows hardening spring property and the cable may present hardening and softening spring properties affected by sag to span ratio.The system is prone to complex dynamic behavior with the small amplitude excitation in the primary resonance region.
