Parametric resonance of axially functionally graded pipes conveying pulsating fluid

Based on the generalized Hamilton's principle,the nonlinear governing equation of an axially functionally graded(AFG)pipe is established.The non-trivial equilibrium configuration is superposed by the modal functions of a simply supported beam.Via the direct multi-scale method,the response and stability boundary to the pulsating fluid velocity are solved analytically and verified by the differential quadrature element method(DQEM).The influence of Young's modulus gradient on the parametric resonance is investigated in the subcritical and supercritical regions.In general,the pipe in the supercritical region is more sensitive to the pulsating excitation.The nonlinearity changes from hard to soft,and the non-trivial equilibrium configuration introduces more frequency components to the vibration.Besides,the increasing Young's modulus gradient improves the critical pulsating flow velocity of the parametric resonance,and further enhances the stability of the system.In addition,when the temperature increases along the axial direction,reducing the gradient parameter can enhance the response asymmetry.This work further complements the theoretical analysis of pipes conveying pulsating fluid.

Parametric Resonance Analyses for Spar Platform in Irregular Waves

The parametric instability of a spar platform in irregular waves is analyzed. Parametric resonance is a phenomenon that may occur when a mechanical system parameter varies over time. When it occurs, a spar platform will have excessive pitch motion and may capsize. Therefore, avoiding parametric resonance is an important design requirement. The traditional methodology includes only a prediction of the Mathieu stability with harmonic excitation in regular waves. However, real sea conditions are irregular, and it has been observed that parametric resonance also occurs in non-harmonic excitations. Thus, it is imperative to predict the parametric resonance of a spar platform in irregular waves. A Hill equation is derived in this work, which can be used to analyze the parametric resonance under multi-frequency excitations. The derived Hill equation for predicting the instability of a spar can include non-harmonic excitation and random phases. The stability charts for multi-frequency excitation in irregular waves are given and compared with that for single frequency excitation in regular waves. Simulations of the pitch dynamic responses are carried out to check the stability. Three-dimensional stability charts with various damping coefficients for irregular waves are also investigated. The results show that the stability property in irregular waves has notable differences compared with that in case of regular waves. In addition, using the Hill equation to obtain the stability chart is an effective method to predict the parametric instability of spar platforms. Moreover, some suggestions for designing spar platforms to avoid parametric resonance are presented, such as increasing the damping coefficient, using an appropriate RAO and increasing the metacentric height.

Active Magnetic Compensation Based on Parametric Resonance Magnetometer

Based on the parametric resonance magnetometer(PRM)theory,this paper establishes an experimen-tal system of PRM.The experimental results are consistent with the theoretical predictions.A PRM has been developed with sensitivity of 0.5 pT/Hz^(1/2),which can detect the magnitude of residual magnetic field;furthermore,a proportion-integration-differentiation(PID)closed-loop magnetic compensation system of the residual magnetic field also has been realized.Compared with open-loop compensation,the PID closed-loop compensation reduces the average value of the residual magnetic field in the z-axis direction from 0.0244nT to-0.0023nT,and the mean-square error from 0.2083 nT to 0.0691 nT.In the same way,the average value of the residual magnetic field in the y-axis direction is reduced from 0.0816nT to-0.0042nT,and the mean-square error from 0.1316nT to 0.0461 nT.The magnitude of residual magnetic fields in both directions is decreased to the order of picotesla(pT).In addition,based on the signal waveforms of the magnetometer,a method of verifying the effect of magnetic compensation is proposed.

Parametric instability in the pure-quartic nonlinear Schrödinger equation

We study the nonlinear stage of modulation instability(MI)in the non-intergrable pure-quartic nonlinear Schrödinger equation where the fourth-order dispersion is modulated periodically.Using the three-mode truncation,we reveal the complex recurrence of parametric resonance(PR)breathers,where each recurrence is associated with two oscillation periods(PR period and internal oscillation period).The nonlinear stage of parametric instability admits the maximum energy exchange between the spectrum sidebands and central mode occurring outside the MI gain band.

Analysis of the Vibrissa Parametric Resonance Causing a Signal Amplification during Whisking Behaviour

The paper deals with the mechanical vibrational motion ofvibrissae during natural exploratory behaviour of mammals. The theoretical analysis is based on a mechanical model of a cylindrical beam with circular natural configuration under an applied periodic force at the tip, which corresponds to the surface roughness of an investigated object. The equation of motion of the beam is studied using the Euler-Bemoulli beam theory and asymptotic methods of mechanics. It is shown that from the me- chanical point of view the phenomenon of parametric resonance of the vibrissa is possible. It means that the amplitude of forced vibrations of a vibrissa increases exponentially with time, if it is stimulated within a specific resonance frequency range, which depends on biomechanical parameters of the vibrissa. The most intense parametric resonance occurs, when the excitation frequency is close to the doubled natural frequency of free vibrations. Thus, it may be used to distinguish and amplify specific periodic components of a complex roughness profile during texture discrimination.

PRINCIPAL RESONANCE IN TRANSVERSE NONLINEAR PARAMETRIC VIBRATION OF AN AXIALLY ACCELERATING VISCOELASTIC STRING

To investigate the principal resonance in transverse nonlinear parametric vibration of an axially accelerating viscoelastic string,the method of multiple scales is applied directly to the nonlinear partial differential equation that governs the transverse vibration of the string.To derive the governing equation,Newton's second law,Lagrangean strain,and Kelvin's model are respectively used to account the dynamical relation,geometric nonlinearity and the viscoelasticity of the string material. Based on the solvability condition of eliminating the secular terms,closed form solutions are obtained for the amplitude and the existence conditions of nontrivial steady-state response of the principal parametric resonance.The Lyapunov linearized stability theory is employed to analyze the stability of the trivial and nontrivial solutions in the principal parametric resonance.Some numerical examples are presented to show the effects of the mean transport speed,the amplitude and the frequency of speed variation.

Nonlinear dynamic singularity analysis of two interconnected synchronous generator system with 1:3 internal resonance and parametric principal resonance

The bifurcation analysis of a simple electric power system involving two synchronous generators connected by a transmission network to an infinite-bus is carried out in this paper. In this system, the infinite-bus voltage are considered to maintain two fluctuations in the amplitude and phase angle. The case of 1：3 internal resonance between the two modes in the presence of parametric principal resonance is considered and examined. The method of multiple scales is used to obtain the bifurcation equations of this system. Then, by employing the singularity method, the transition sets determining different bifurcation patterns of the system are obtained and analyzed, which reveal the effects of the infinite-bus voltage amplitude and phase fluctuations on bifurcation patterns of this system. Finally, the bifurcation patterns are all examined by bifurcation diagrams. The results obtained in this paper will contribute to a better understanding of the complex nonlinear dynamic behaviors in a two-machine infinite-bus （TMIB） power system.

RESPONSE OF PARAMETRICALLY EXCITED DUFFING-VAN DER POL OSCILLATOR WITH DELAYED FEEDBACK

The dynamical behaviour of a parametrically excited Duffing-van der Pol oscillator under linear-plus-nonlinear state feedback control with a time delay is concerned. By means of the method of averaging together with truncation of Taylor expansions, two slow-flow equations on the amplitude and phase of response were derived for the case of principal parametric resonance, it is shown that the stability condition for the trivial solution is only associated with the linear terms in the original systems besides the amplitude and frequency of parametric excitation. And the trivial solution can be stabilized by appreciate choice of gains and time delay in feedback control. Different from the case of the trivial solution, the stability condition for nontrivial solutions is also associated with nonlinear terms besides linear terms in the original system. It is demonstrated that nontrivial steady state responses may lose their stability by saddle-node （SN） or Hopf bifurcation （HB） as parameters vary. The simulations, obtained by numerically integrating the original system, are in good agreement with the analytical results.

PARAMETRIC SHIMMY ANALYSIS

A more reliable parametric shimmy analysis model taking the elasticity of strut, the elasticity of damper linkage system and the influence of shimmy damping into consideration is set up in this paper. The Multiple Scales Method is utilized to obtain the expressions of stability condition and transition curve under the conditions of non resonant case, principal parametric resonance and combination resonance respectively. The parametric shimmy analysis for a real type of aircraft is carried out based on the perturbation analysis results, and the stability chart and critical taxiing velocities of two types of aircraft in the case of principal parametric resonance are given. It is indicated that there exist two critical taxiing velocities near which parametric shimmy is susceptible to occur, while the landing gear system is stable when taxiing velocity is far from them. This characteristic makes the parametric shimmy distinct from the shimmy in general case. Because few previous studies of nose gear shimmy have dealt with parametric shimmy problem, the results given in this paper provide useful reference for aircraft design and maintenance.

We report a low noise continuous-wave （CW） single-frequency 1.5-μm laser source obtained by a singly resonant optical parametric oscillator （SRO） based on periodically poled lithium niobate （PPLN）. The SRO was pumped by a CW single-frequency Nd：YVO4 laser at 1.06μm. The 1.02 W of CW single-frequency signal laser at 1.5 μm was obtained at pump power of 6 W.

DYNAMIC STABILITY OF A BEAM-MODEL VISCOELASTIC PIPE FOR CONVEYING PULSATIVE FLUID

The dynamic stability in transverse vibration of a viscoelastic pipe for conveying puisative fluid is investigated for the simply-supported case. The material property of the beammodel pipe is described by the Kelvin-type viscoelastic constitutive relation. The axial fluid speed is characterized as simple harmonic variation about a constant mean speed. The method of multiple scales is applied directly to the governing partial differential equation without discretization when the viscoelastic damping and the periodical excitation are considered small.

Effect of rotary inertia on stability of axially accelerating viscoelastic Rayleigh beams

The dynamic stability of axially moving viscoelastic Rayleigh beams is pre- sented. The governing equation and simple support boundary condition are derived with the extended Hamilton＇s principle. The viscoelastic material of the beams is described as the Kelvin constitutive relationship involving the total time derivative. The axial tension is considered to vary longitudinally. The natural frequencies and solvability condition are obtained in the multi-scale process. It is of interest to investigate the summation parametric resonance and principal parametric resonance by using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion to obtain the stability condition. Numerical examples show the effects of viscos- ity coefficients, mean speed, beam stiffness, and rotary inertia factor on the summation parametric resonance and principle parametric resonance. The differential quadrature method （DQM） is used to validate the value of the stability boundary in the principle parametric resonance for the first two modes.

Dynamic stability of axially accelerating viscoelastic plates with longitudinally varying tensions

The dynamic stability of axially accelerating plates is investigated. Longitudi- nally varying tensions due to the acceleration and nonhomogeneous boundary conditions are highlighted. A model of the plate combined with viscoelasticity is applied. In the viscoelastic constitutive relationship, the material derivative is used to take the place of the partial time derivative. Analytical and numerical methods are used to investigate summation and principal parametric resonances, respectively. By use of linear models for the transverse behavior in the small displacement regime, the plate is confined by a viscous damping force. The generalized Hamilton principle is used to derive the govern- ing equations, the initial conditions, and the boundary conditions of the coupled planar vibration. The solvability conditions are established by directly using the method of mul- tiple scales. The Routh-Hurwitz criterion is used to obtain the necessary and sufficient condition of the stability. Numerical examples are given to show the effects of related parameters on the stability boundaries. The validity of longitudinally varying tensions and nonhomogeneous boundary conditions is highlighted by comparing the results of the method of multiple scales with those of a differential quadrature scheme.

Plural interactions of space charge wave harmonics during the development of two-stream instability

We construct a cubically nonlinear theory of plural interactions between harmonics of the growing space charge wave（SCW） during the development of the two-stream instability. It is shown that the SCW with a wide frequency spectrum is formed when the frequency of the first SCW harmonic is much lower than the critical frequency of the two-stream instability.Such SCW has part of the spectrum in which higher harmonics have higher amplitudes. We analyze the dynamics of the plural harmonic interactions of the growing SCW and define the saturation harmonic levels. We find the mechanisms of forming the multiharmonic SCW for the waves with frequencies lower than the critical frequency and for the waves with frequencies that exceed the critical frequency.

ATOMIZATION OF A LIQUID DROP BY PULSATION

By using stability analysis, it is shown that a spherical drop can be resonated parametrically to initiate the formation of droplets of diameters much smaller than that of the original drop. Both the surface tension and the density of the surrounding gas tend to retard this atomization process. The interfacial instability associated with the D'Alembert apparent body force in two superposed flat fluid layers is shown to be closely related to the interfacial instability caused by parametric resonance.
