A novel adaptive harmonic balance method with an asymptotic harmonic selection

The harmonic balance method(HBM)is one of the most widely used methods in solving nonlinear vibration problems,and its accuracy and computational efficiency largely depend on the number of the harmonics selected.The adaptive harmonic balance(AHB)method is an improved HBM method.This paper presents a modified AHB method with the asymptotic harmonic selection(AHS)procedure.This new harmonic selection procedure selects harmonics from the frequency spectra of nonlinear terms instead of estimating the contribution of each harmonic to the whole nonlinear response,by which the additional calculation is avoided.A modified continuation method is proposed to deal with the variable size of nonlinear algebraic equations at different values of path parameters,and then all solution branches of the amplitude-frequency response are obtained.Numerical experiments are carried out to verify the performance of the AHB-AHS method.Five typical nonlinear dynamic equations with different types of nonlinearities and excitations are chosen as the illustrative examples.Compared with the classical HBM and Runge-Kutta methods,the proposed AHB-AHS method is of higher accuracy and better convergence.The AHB-AHS method proposed in this paper has the potential to investigate the nonlinear vibrations of complex high-dimensional nonlinear systems.

Harmonic balance method with alternating frequency/time domain technique for nonlinear dynamical system with fractional exponential

Comparisons of the common methods for obtaining the periodic responses show that the harmonic balance method with alternating frequency/time （HB-AFT） do- main technique has some advantages in dealing with nonlinear problems of fractional exponential models. By the HB-AFT method, a rigid rotor supported by ball bearings with nonlinearity of Hertz contact and ball passage vibrations is considered. With the aid of the Floquet theory, the movement characteristics of interval stability are deeply studied. Besides, a simple strategy to determine the monodromy matrix is proposed for the stability analysis.

Improving convergence of incremental harmonic balance method using homotopy analysis method

We have deduced incremental harmonic balance an iteration scheme in the （IHB） method using the harmonic balance plus the Newton-Raphson method. Since the convergence of the iteration is dependent upon the initial values in the iteration, the convergent region is greatly restricted for some cases. In this contribution, in order to enlarge the convergent region of the IHB method, we constructed the zeroth-order deformation equation using the homotopy analysis method, in which the IHB method is employed to solve the deformation equation with an embedding parameter as the active increment. Taking the Duffing and the van der Pol equations as examples, we obtained the highly accurate solutions. Importantly, the presented approach renders a convenient way to control and adjust the convergence.

INCREMENTAL HARMONIC BALANCE METHOD FOR AIRFOIL FLUTTER WITH MULTIPLE STRONG NONLINEARITIES

The incremental harmonic balance method was extended to analyze the flutter of systems with multiple structural strong nonlinearities. The strongly nonlinear cubic plunging and pitching stiffness terms were considered in the flutter equations of two-dimensional airfoil. First, the equations were transferred into matrix form, then the vibration process was divided into the persistent incremental processes of vibration moments. And the expression of their solutions could be obtained by using a certain amplitude as control parameter in the harmonic balance process, and then the bifurcation, limit cycle flutter phenomena and the number of harmonic terms were analyzed. Finally, numerical results calculated by the Runge-Kutta method were given to verify the results obtained by the proposed procedure. It has been shown that the incremental harmonic method is effective and precise in the analysis of strongly nonlinear flutter with multiple structural nonlinearities.

Primary resonance of fractional-order Duffing–van der Pol oscillator by harmonic balance method

The dynamical properties of fractional-order Duffing–van der Pol oscillator are studied, and the amplitude–frequency response equation of primary resonance is obtained by the harmonic balance method. The stability condition for steady-state solution is obtained based on Lyapunov theory. The comparison of the approximate analytical results with the numerical results is fulfilled, and the approximations obtained are in good agreement with the numerical solutions. The bifurcations of primary resonance for system parameters are analyzed. The results show that the harmonic balance method is effective and convenient for solving this problem, and it provides a reference for the dynamical analysis of similar nonlinear systems.

Harmonic balance simulation of the influence of component uniformity and reliability on the performance of a Josephson traveling wave parametric amplifier

A Josephson traveling wave parametric amplifier(JTWPA),which is a quantum-limited amplifier with high gain and large bandwidth,is the core device of large-scale measurement and control systems for quantum computing.A typical JTWPA consists of thousands of Josephson junctions connected in series to form a transmission line and hundreds of shunt LC resonators periodically loaded along the line for phase matching.Because the variation of these capacitors and inductors can be detrimental to their high-frequency characteristics,the fabrication of a JTWPA typically necessitates precise processing equipment.To guide the fabrication process and further improve the design for manufacturability,it is necessary to understand how each electronic component affects the amplifier.In this paper,we use the harmonic balance method to conduct a comprehensive study on the impact of nonuniformity and fabrication yield of the electronic components on the performance of a JTWPA.The results provide insightful and scientific guidance for device design and fabrication processes.

Revisiting the space-time gradient method:A time-clocking perspective, high order difference time discretization and comparison with the harmonic balance method

This paper revisits the Space-Time Gradient(STG) method which was developed for efficient analysis of unsteady flows due to rotor–stator interaction and presents the method from an alternative time-clocking perspective. The STG method requires reordering of blade passages according to their relative clocking positions with respect to blades of an adjacent blade row. As the space-clocking is linked to an equivalent time-clocking, the passage reordering can be performed according to the alternative time-clocking. With the time-clocking perspective, unsteady flow solutions from different passages of the same blade row are mapped to flow solutions of the same passage at different time instants or phase angles. Accordingly, the time derivative of the unsteady flow equation is discretized in time directly, which is more natural than transforming the time derivative to a spatial one as with the original STG method. To improve the solution accuracy, a ninth order difference scheme has been investigated for discretizing the time derivative. To achieve a stable solution for the high order scheme, the implicit solution method of Lower-Upper Symmetric GaussSeidel/Gauss-Seidel(LU-SGS/GS) has been employed. The NASA Stage 35 and its blade-countreduced variant are used to demonstrate the validity of the time-clocking based passage reordering and the advantages of the high order difference scheme for the STG method. Results from an existing harmonic balance flow solver are also provided to contrast the two methods in terms of solution stability and computational cost.

Almost Periodic Solutions by the Harmonic Balance Method

We consider non-autonomous ordinary differential equations in two cases.One is the one-dimensional case that admits a condition of hyperbolicity,and the other one is the higher-dimensional case that admits an exponential dichotomy.For differential equations of this kind,we give a rigorous treatment of the Harmonic Balance Method to look for almost periodic solutions.

时域谐波平衡求解器中非物理解出现根源探析

The time domain harmonic balance method is an attractive reduced order method of analyzing unsteady flow for turbomachines. However, the method can admit non-physical solutions. Non-physical solutions were encountered from a three-blade-row compressor configuration in a time domain harmonic balance analysis. This paper aims to investigate the root cause of the non-physical solutions. The investigation involves several strategies, which include increasing the number of harmonics, increasing the number of time instants, including scattered modes,including the rotor-rotor interaction, and the use of a new method-the approximate time domain nonlinear harmonic method. Numerical analyses pertinent to each strategy are presented to reveal the root cause of the non-physical solution. It is found that the nonlinear interaction of unsteady flow components with different fundamental frequencies is the cause of the non-physical solution. The non-physical solution can be eliminated by incorporating extra scattered modes or using the approximate time domain nonlinear harmonic method.

Subharmonic resonance of a clamped-clamped buckled beam with 1:1 internal resonance under base harmonic excitations

The subharmonic resonance and bifurcations of a clamped-clamped buckled beam under base harmonic excitations are investigated.The nonlinear partial integrodifferential equation of the motion of the buckled beam with both quadratic and cubic nonlinearities is given by using Hamilton’s principle.A set of second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations are obtained by spatial discretization with the Galerkin method.A high-dimensional model of the buckled beam is derived,concerning nonlinear coupling.The incremental harmonic balance(IHB)method is used to achieve the periodic solutions of the high-dimensional model of the buckled beam to observe the nonlinear frequency response curve and the nonlinear amplitude response curve,and the Floquet theory is used to analyze the stability of the periodic solutions.Attention is focused on the subharmonic resonance caused by the internal resonance as the excitation frequency near twice of the first natural frequency of the buckled beam with/without the antisymmetric modes being excited.Bifurcations including the saddle-node,Hopf,perioddoubling,and symmetry-breaking bifurcations are observed.Furthermore,quasi-periodic motion is observed by using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method,which results from the Hopf bifurcation of the response of the buckled beam with the anti-symmetric modes being excited.

1/3 SUBHARMONIC SOLUTION OF ELLIPTICAL SANDWICH PLATES

The problem of nonlinear forced oscillations for elliptical sandwich plates is dealt with. Based on the governing equations expressed in terms of five displacement components, the nonlinear dynamic equation of an elliptical sandwich plate under a harmonic force is derived. A superpositive-iterative harmonic balance (SIHB) method is presented for the steady-state analysis of strongly nonlinear oscillators. In a periodic oscillation, the periodic solutions can be expressed in the form of basic harmonics and bifurcate harmonics. Thus, an oscillation system which is described as a second order ordinary differential equation, can be expressed as fundamental differential equation with fundamental harmonics and incremental differential equation with derived harmonics. The 1/3 subharmonic solution of an elliptical sandwich plate is investigated by using the methods of SIHB. The SIHB method is compared with the numerical integration method. Finally, asymptotical stability of the 1/3 subharmonic oscillations is inspected.

VISCO—ELASTIC SYSTEMS UNDER BOTH DETERMINISTIC HARMONIC AND RANDOM EXCITATION

The response of visco_elastic system to combined deterministic harmonic and random excitation was investigated. The method of harmonic balance and the method of stochastic averaging were used to determine the response of the system. The theoretical analysis was verified by numerical results. Theoretical analyses and numerical simulations show that when the intensity of the random excitation increase, the nontrivial steady state solution may change from a limit cycle to a diffused limit cycle. Under some conditions the system may have two steady state solutions and jumps may exist.

Adjacent mode resonance of a hydraulic pipe system consisting of parallel pipes coupled at middle points

The coupling vibration of a hydraulic pipe system consisting of two pipes is studied.The pipes are installed in parallel and fixed at their ends,and are restrained by clips to one bracket at their middle points.The pipe subjected to the basement excitation at the left end is named as the active pipe,while the pipe without excitation is called the passive pipe.The clips between the two pipes are the bridge for the vibration energy.The adjacent natural frequencies will enhance the vibration coupling.The governing equation of the coupled system is deduced by the generalized Hamilton principle,and is discretized to the modal space.The modal correction is used during the discretization.The investigation on the natural characters indicates that the adjacent natural frequencies can be adjusted by the stiffness of the two clips and bracket.The harmonic balance method(HBM)is used to study the responses in the adjacent natural frequency region.The results show that the vibration energy transmits from the active pipe to the passive pipe swimmingly via the clips together with a flexible bracket,while the locations of them are not node points.The adjacent natural frequencies may arouse wide resonance curves with two peaks for both pipes.The stiffness of the clip and bracket can release the vibration coupling.It is suggested that the stiffness of the clip on the passive pipe should be weak and the bracket should be strong enough.In this way,the vibration energy is reflected by the almost rigid bracket,and is hard to transfer to the passive pipe via a soft clip.The best choice is to set the clips at the pipe node points.The current work gives some suggestions for weakening the coupled vibration during the dynamic design of a coupled hydraulic pipe system.

A novel way for vibration control of FGM fluid-conveying pipes via NiTiNOL-steel wire rope

In this study,a coupling model of fluid-conveying pipes made of functionally graded materials(FGMs)with NiTiNOL-steel(NiTi-ST)for vibration absorption is investigated.The vibration responses of the FGM fluid-conveying pipe with NiTi-ST are studied by the Galerkin truncation method(GTM)and harmonic balance method(HBM).The harmonic balance solutions and the numerical results are consistent.Also,the linearized stability of the structure is determined.The effects of the structure parameters on the absorption performance are also studied.The results show that the NiTi-ST is an effective means of vibration absorption.Furthermore,in studying the effect of the NiTi-ST,a closed detached response(CDR)is first observed.It is noteworthy that the CDR may dramatically change the vibration amplitude and that the parameters of the NiTi-ST may determine the emergence or disappearance of the CDR.This vibration absorption device can be extended to offer more general vibration control in engineering applications.

A Methodology for Assessing Axial Compressor Stability with Inlet Temperature Ramp Distortion

Based on a small perturbation stability model for periodic flow,the effects of inlet total temperature ramp distortion on the axial compressor are investigated and the compressor stability is quantitatively evaluated.In the beginning,a small perturbation stability model for the periodic flow in compressors is proposed,referring to the governing equations of the Harmonic Balance Method.This stability model is validated on a single-stage low-speed compressor TA36 with uniform inlet flow.Then,the unsteady flow of TA36 with different inlet total temperature ramps and constant back pressure is simulated based on the Harmonic Balance Method.Based on these simulations,the compressor stability is analyzed using the proposed small perturbation model.Further,the Dynamic Mode Decomposition method is employed to accurately extract pressure oscillations.The two parameters of the temperature ramp,ramp rate and Strouhal number,are discussed in this paper.The results indicate the occurrence and extension of hysteresis loops in the rows,and a decrease in compressor stability with increasing ramp rate.Compressor performance is divided into two phases,stable and limit,based on the ramp rate.Furthermore,the model predictions suggest that a decrease in period length and an increase in Strouhal number lead to improved compressor stability.The DMD results imply that for compressors with inlet temperature ramp distortion,the increase of high-order modes and oscillations at the rotor tip is always the signal of decreasing stability.

Nonlinear dynamic analysis of cantilevered piezoelectric energy harvesters under simultaneous parametric and external excitations

The nonlinear dynamics of cantilevered piezoelectric beams is investigated under simultaneous parametric and external excitations. The beam is composed of a substrate and two piezoelectric layers and assumed as an Euler-Bernoulli model with inextensible deformation. A nonlinear distributed parameter model of cantilevered piezoelectric energy harvesters is proposed using the generalized Hamilton＇s principle. The proposed model includes geometric and inertia nonlinearity, but neglects the material nonlinearity. Using the Galerkin decomposition method and harmonic balance method, analytical expressions of the frequency-response curves are presented when the first bending mode of the beam plays a dominant role. Using these expressions, we investigate the effects of the damping, load resistance, electromechanical coupling, and excitation amplitude on the frequency-response curves. We also study the difference between the nonlinear lumped-parameter and distributed- parameter model for predicting the performance of the energy harvesting system. Only in the case of parametric excitation, we demonstrate that the energy harvesting system has an initiation excitation threshold below which no energy can be harvested. We also illustrate that the damping and load resistance affect the initiation excitation threshold.

In this study,the first-order shear deformation theory(FSDT)is used to establish a nonlinear dynamic model for a conical shell truncated by a functionally graded graphene platelet-reinforced composite(FG-GPLRC).The vibration analyses of the FG-GPLRC truncated conical shell are presented.Considering the graphene platelets(GPLs)of the FG-GPLRC truncated conical shell with three different distribution patterns,the modified Halpin-Tsai model is used to calculate the effective Young’s modulus.Hamilton’s principle,the FSDT,and the von-Karman type nonlinear geometric relationships are used to derive a system of partial differential governing equations of the FG-GPLRC truncated conical shell.The Galerkin method is used to obtain the ordinary differential equations of the truncated conical shell.Then,the analytical nonlinear frequencies of the FG-GPLRC truncated conical shell are solved by the harmonic balance method.The effects of the weight fraction and distribution pattern of the GPLs,the ratio of the length to the radius as well as the ratio of the radius to the thickness of the FG-GPLRC truncated conical shell on the nonlinear natural frequency characteristics are discussed.This study culminates in the discovery of the periodic motion and chaotic motion of the FG-GPLRC truncated conical shell.

NES cell

A broadband adaptive vibration control strategy with high reliability and flexible versatility is proposed.The high vibration damping performance of nonlinear energy sink(NES)has attracted attention.However,targeted energy transfer may cause severe vibration of NES.Besides,it is difficult to realize pure nonlinear stiffness without the linear part.As a result,the reliability of NES is not high.The low reliability of NES has hindered its application in engineering.In addition,the performance of NES depends on its mass ratio of the primary system,and NES lacks versatility for different vibration systems.Therefore,this paper proposes the concept of NES cell.The advantages of the adaptive vibration control of NES are applied to cellular NES.By applying a large number of NES cells in parallel,the reliability of NES and its versatility to complex vibration structures are improved.An elastic beam is used as the primary vibration structure,and a limited NES is used as the cell.The relationship between the vibration suppression effect of NES cells and the number of NES cell is studied.In addition,the effect of the distribution of NES cells on the multi-mode resonance suppression of the beam is also studied.In summary,the mode of the primary structure can be efficiently controlled by a large number of lightweight NES cell.Therefore,the lightweight NES cell is flexible for vibration control of complex structures.In addition,it improves the reliability of NES applications.Therefore,the distributed application of NES cells proposed in this paper is a valuable vibration suppression strategy.

Some singularity phenomena may generate when the hysteretic behavior of couplings in the shaft systems is considered. In this paper, the intrinsic multiple-scale harmonic balance method is extended to the nonlinear autonomous system with the non-analytic property, and the dynamic complexities of the system near the Hopf bifurcation point are analyzed.

Harmonic balance-based approach for optimal time delay to control unstable periodic orbits of chaotic systems

As a classical technique for chaos suppression,the time-delayed feedback controlling strategy has been widely developed by stabilizing unstable periodic orbits(UPOs)embedded in chaotic systems.A critical issue for achieving high controlling precision is to search for an appropriate time delay.This paper proposes a simple yet effective approach,based on incremental harmonic balance method,to determine the optimal time delay in the delayed feedback controller.The time delay is adjusted within the iterative scheme provided by the proposed method,and finally converges to the period of the target UPO.As long as the optimal time delay is fixed,moreover,the attained solution makes it quite convenient to analyze its stability according to the Floquet theory,which further provides the effective interval of the feedback gain.
