Analytical parametric study of bi-linear hysteretic model of dry friction under harmonic, impulse and random excitations

摘要

Hysteretic behavior due to some nonlinear sources is a common phenomenon in many dynamical systems. One of the sources of this behavior in mechanical systems is dry friction. Dry friction in bolted or riveted joints of mechanical structures makes their dynamic behavior hysteretic. Bi-linear hysteresis is one of the models that can be used to study these systems which is used in this paper. A SDOF system containing a bi-linear hysteretic element called Jenkins element under harmonic, impulse and random excitations is considered. For all three types of excitations, the effects of system and excitation parameters on the defined equivalent system parameters and the response specifications are studied. Harmonic balance method is employed for harmonic excitation studies, and optimum friction threshold for minimizing response amplitude is obtained versus other system parameters and response amplitude. Energy balance method is used for impulse excitation through which the desired decaying ratio can be achieved by tuning the friction threshold, depending on stiffness ratio. System under random excitation is investigated by equivalent linearization technique in two steps. At the first step, equivalent properties are obtained versus instantaneous amplitude of response. In this step, the paper contains the parametric study of system in which the variations of equivalent parameters are described when physical parameters of system or input intensity vary. Overall variance of system response is determined in the second step, and optimum sliding threshold is obtained to have minimum overall variance of system response.
