Non-linearly parametric resonances of an axially moving viscoelastic sandwich beam with time-dependent velocity

摘要

Non-linearly parametric resonances of an axially moving viscoelastic sandwich beam are investigated in this paper. The beam is moving with a time-dependent velocity, namely a harmonically varied velocity about the mean velocity. The partial differential equation is discretized into nonlinear ordinary differential equations via the method of Galerkin truncation and then the steady-state response is obtained using the method of multiple scales, an approximate analytical method. The tuning equations are obtained by eliminating secular terms and the amplitude of the vibration is derived from the tuning equations expressed in polar form, and two bifurcation points are obtained as well. Additionally, the stability conditions of trivial and nontrivial solutions are analyzed using the Routh-Hurwitz criterion. Eventually, the effects of various parameters such as the thickness of core layer, mean velocity, initial tension, and the amplitude of axially moving velocity on amplitude-frequency response curves and unstable regions are investigated.
