MODAL FREQUENCY CHARACTERISTICS OF AXIALLY MOVING BEAM WITH SUPERSONIC/HYPERSONIC SPEED

The vibration characteristics of transverse oscillation of an axially moving beam with high velocity is in- vestigated. The vibration equation and boundary conditions of the free-free axially moving beam are derived using Hamilton＇s principle. Furthermore, the linearized equations are set up based on Galerkinl s method for the ap- proximation solution. Finally, three influencing factors on the vibration frequency of the beam are considered： （1） The axially moving speed. The first order natural frequency decreases as the axial velocity increases, so there is a critical velocity of the axially moving beam. （2） The mass loss. The changing of the mass density of some part of the beam increases the beam natural frequencies. （3） The thermal effect.＇ The temperature increase will decrease the beam elastic modulus and induce the vibration frequencies descending.

NON-LINEAR FORCED VIBRATION OF AXIALLY MOVING VISCOELASTIC BEAMS

The non-linear forced vibration of axially moving viscoelastic beams excited by the vibration of the supporting foundation is investigated. A non-linear partial-differential equation governing the transverse motion is derived from the dynamical, constitutive equations and geometrical relations. By referring to the quasi-static stretch assumption, the partial-differential non-linearity is reduced to an integro-partial-differential one. The method of multiple scales is directly applied to the governing equations with the two types of non-linearity, respectively. The amplitude of near- and exact-resonant steady state is analyzed by use of the solvability condition of eliminating secular terms. Numerical results are presented to show the contributions of foundation vibration amplitude, viscoelastic damping, and nonlinearity to the response amplitude for the first and the second mode.

DYNAMIC STABILITY OF AXIALLY MOVING VISCOELASTIC BEAMS WITH PULSATING SPEED

Parametric vibration of an axially moving, elastic, tensioned beam with pulsating speed was investigated in the vicinity of subharmonic and combination resonance. The method of averaging was used to yield a set of autonomous equations when the parametric excitation frequency is twice or the combination of the natural frequencies. Instability boundaries were presented in the plane of parametric frequency and amplitude. The analytical results were numerically verified. The effects of the viscoelastic damping, steady speed and tension on the instability boundaries were numerically demonsWated. It is found that the viscoelastic damping decreases the instability regions and the steady speed and the tension make the instability region drift along the frequency axis.

Stochastic response of an axially moving viscoelastic beam with fractional order constitutive relation and random excitations

A convenient and universal residue calculus method is proposed to study the stochastic response behaviors of an axially moving viscoelastic beam with random noise excitations and fractional order constitutive relationship, where the random excitation can be decomposed as a nonstationary stochastic process, Mittag-Leffler internal noise, and external stationary noise excitation. Then, based on the Laplace transform approach, we derived the mean value function, variance function and covariance function through the Green＇s function technique and the residue calculus method, and obtained theoretical results. In some special case of fractional order derivative α , the Monte Carlo approach and error function results were applied to check the effectiveness of the analytical results, and good agreement was found. Finally in a general-purpose case, we also confirmed the analytical conclusion via the direct Monte Carlo simulation.

Dynamic response of axially moving Timoshenko beams: integral transform solution

The generalized integral transform technique （GITT） is used to find a semianalytical numerical solution for dynamic response of an axially moving Timoshenko beam with clamped-clamped and simply-supported boundary conditions, respectively. The implementation of GITT approach for analyzing the forced vibration equation eliminates the space variable and leads to systems of second-order ordinary differential equations （ODEs） in time. The MATHEMATICA built-in function, NDSolve, is used to numerically solve the resulting transformed ODE system. The good convergence behavior of the suggested eigenfunction expansions is demonstrated for calculating the transverse deflection and the angle of rotation of the beam cross-section. Moreover, parametric studies are performed to analyze the effects of the axially moving speed, the axial tension, and the amplitude of external distributed force on the vibration amplitude of axially moving Timoshenko beams.

Approximate and numerical analysis of nonlinear forced vibration of axially moving viscoelastic beams

Steady-state periodical response is investigated for an axially moving viscoelastic beam with hybrid supports via approximate analysis with numerical confirmation. It is assumed that the excitation is spatially uniform and temporally harmonic. The transverse motion of axially moving beams is governed by a nonlinear partial-differential equation and a nonlinear integro-partial-differential equation. The material time derivative is used in the viscoelastic constitutive relation. The method of multiple scales is applied to the governing equations to investigate primary resonances under general boundary conditions. It is demonstrated that the mode uninvolved in the resonance has no effect on the steady-state response. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the effects of the boundary constraint stiffness on the amplitude and the stability of the steady-state response. The results derived for two governing equations are qualitatively the same,but quantitatively different. The differential quadrature schemes are developed to verify those results via the method of multiple scales.

Determination of the natural frequencies of axially moving beams by the method of multiple scales

The natural frequencies of an axially moving beam were determined by using the method of multiple scales. The method of second-order multiple scales could be directly applied to the governing equation if the axial motion of the beam is assumed to be small. It can be concluded that the natural frequencies affected by the axial motion are proportional to the square of the velocity of the axially moving beam. The results obtained by the perturbation method were compared with those given with a numerical method and the comparison shows the correctness of the multiple-scale method if the velocity is rather small.

Vibration of axially moving beam supported by viscoelastic foundation

In this paper, transverse vibration of an axially moving beam supported by a viscoelastic foundation is analyzed by a complex modal analysis method. The equation of motion is developed based on the generalized Hamilton＇s principle. Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions are semi-analytically obtained. The governing equation is represented in a canonical state space form, which is defined by two matrix differential operators. The orthogonality of the eigenfunctions and the adjoint eigenfunctions is used to decouple the system in the state space. The responses of the system to arbitrary external excitation and initial conditions are expressed in the modal expansion. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the proposed approach. The effects of the foundation parameters on free and forced vibration are examined.

Complex modes and traveling waves in axially moving Timoshenko beams

Complex modes and traveling waves in axially moving Timoshenko beams are studied. Due to the axially moving velocity, complex modes emerge instead of real value modes. Correspondingly, traveling waves are present for the axially moving material while standing waves dominate in the traditional static structures. The analytical results obtained in this study are verified with a numerical differential quadrature method.

Asymptotic analysis on weakly forced vibration of axially moving viscoelastic beam constituted by standard linear solid model

The weakly forced vibration of an axially moving viscoelastic beam is inves- tigated. The viscoelastic material of the beam is constituted by the standard linear solid model with the material time derivative involved. The nonlinear equations governing the transverse vibration are derived from the dynamical, constitutive, and geometrical relations. The method of multiple scales is used to determine the steady-state response. The modulation equation is derived from the solvability condition of eliminating secular terms. Closed-form expressions of the amplitude and existence condition of nontrivial steady-state response are derived from the modulation equation. The stability of non- trivial steady-state response is examined via the Routh-Hurwitz criterion.

FREE NON-LINEAR VIBRATION OF AXIALLY MOVING BEAMS WITH FIXED ENDS

The free non-linear vibration of axially moving, elastic, and tensioned beams on fixed supports is investigated in this paper. Two types of non-linearity, namely, the differential type and integro-differential type, are analyzed. Approximate solutions are sought using the method of multiple scales. The contribution of non-linearity to the response increases with the axial speed, and grows most rapidly near the critical speed. It has been found that the differential type non-linearity is stronger than the integro-differential type non-linearity by analyzing the non-linear effects on natural frequencies.

Supercritical Thermal Configurations of Axially Moving Timoshenko Beams

An exact solution for supercritical thermal configurations of axially moving Timoshenko beams with arbitrary boundary conditions is presented. The geometric nonlinearity and temperature variation of the traveling beams in supercritical regime is considered. Then, the nonlinear buckling problem is solved. A closed-form solution for the supercritical thermal configuration in terms of the axial speed,stiffness and thermal expansion is obtained.Some typical boundary conditions,such as fixed-fixed and pinnedpinned are discussed. More importantly, based on the exact solution,a new anti-symmetric thermal configuration for the fixedfixed axially moving Timoshenko beams is found.

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.

THE STABILITY OF AN AXIALLY ACCELERATING BEAM ON SIMPLE SUPPORTS WITH TORSION SPRINGS

The axially rnoving beams on simple supports with torsion springs are studied. The general modal functions of the axially moving beam with constant speed have been obtained from the supporting conditions. The contribution of the spring stiffness to the natural frequencies has been numerically investigated. Transverse stability is also studied for axially moving beams on simple supports with torsion springs. The method of multiple scales is applied to the partialdifferential equation governing the transverse parametric vibration. The stability boundary is derived from the solvability condition. Instability occurs if the axial speed fluctuation frequency is close to the sum of any two natural frequencies or is two fold natural frequency of the unperturbed system. It can be concluded that the spring stiffness makes both the natural frequencies and the instability regions smaller in the axial speed fluctuation frequency-amplitude plane for given mean axial speed and bending stiffness of the beam.

On Parametric Instability Boundaries of Axially Moving Beams with Internal Resonance

In this paper, the instability boundaries of an axially moving viscoelastic beam due to parametric resonance are revisited for the internal resonance case. The relation between the time-dependent tension and the time-dependent axial speed is constructed, which provides a new model in the study of axially moving material with pulsation parameters. The instability boundaries caused by the combination of parametric and internal resonances are studied using the method of multiple time scales. Some strange instability boundaries are detected when the internal resonance is considered. The phenomenon of local zigzag boundary contour is explained from the viewpoint of modal interactions.

Forced vibration control of an axially moving beam with an attached nonlinear energy sink

This paper investigates a highly efficient and promising control method for forced vibration control of an axially moving beam with an attached nonlinear energy sink（NES）.Because of the axial velocity,external force and external excitation frequency,the beam undergoes a high-amplitude vibration.The Galerkin method is applied to discretize the dynamic equations of the beam–NES system.The steady-state responses of the beams with an attached NES and with nothing attached are acquired by numerical simulation.Furthermore,the fast Fourier transform（FFT）is applied to get the amplitude–frequency responses.From the perspective of frequency domain analysis,it is explained that the NES has little effect on the natural frequency of the beam.Results confirm that NES has a great potential to control the excessive vibration.

Stabilization of an axially moving tape system with boundary disturbances via the ADRC approach

In this paper,the boundary stabilization problem of an axially moving tape system is considered.The tape moves between two sets of rollers,where the right roller is fixed and the left roller,with its mass taken into account,is free to move,rotate,and subject to external disturbances.The active disturbance rejection control approach is adopted in the investigation.First,extended state observers are designed to estimate the disturbances,and then,feedback controllers are proposed to cancel the effect of the disturbances.The well-posedness of the closed-loop system is proved by the semigroup theory.Furthermore,the exponential stability is achieved by constructing a suitable Lyapunov function.Finally,numerical simulations are given to support these results.
