Two modes nonresonant interaction for rectangular plate with geometrical nonlinearity

摘要

The vibrations of thin rectangular plate with geometrical nonlinearity are analyzed. The models of plate vibrations with different numbers of degrees-of-freedom are derived. It is deduced that two degrees-of-freedoms are enough to describe low-frequency nonlinear dynamics of plates. Nonlinear normal modes are used to analyze the system dynamics. If vibrations amplitudes are increased, single-mode plate vibrations are transformed into two mode ones. In this case, internal resonance conditions are not observed. Such transformation of vibration is described using Kauderer-Rosenberg nonlinear normal modes.
