Nonlinear combination parametric resonance is investigated for an axially accelerating viscoelastic string.The governing equation of in-planar motion of the string is established by introducing a coordinate transform in the Eulerian equation of a string with moving boundaries.The string under investigation is constituted by the standard linear solid model in which the material,not partial,time derivative was used.The governing equation leads to the Mote model for transverse vibration by omitting the longitudinal component and higher order terms.The Kirchhoff model is derived from the Mote model by replacing the tension with the averaged tension over the string.The two models are respectively analyzed via the method of multiple scales for principal parametric resonance.The amplitudes and the existence conditions of steady-state response and its stability can be numerically determined.Numerical calculations demonstrate the effects of the string material parameters,the initial tension,and the axial speed fluctuation amplitude.The outcomes of the two models are qualitatively and quantitatively compared.
In this paper, nonlinear transverse vibrations of axially moving Timoshenko beams with two free ends are investigated. The governing equations and the associated boundary conditions are derived by the extended Hamilton principle. The method of multiple scales is applied to analyze the nonlinear partial differential equation. The natural frequencies and modes are investigated by performing the complex mode approach. The effect of natural frequencies with the stiffness and the axial speeds are numerically demonstrated. The solvability conditions are established for the cases of without and with 3:1 internal resonances. The relationships between the nonlinear frequencies and the initial amplitudes at different axial speeds and the nonlinear coefficients are showed for the case of without internal resonances. The effects of the related coefficients are demonstrated for the case of 3:1 internal resonances.
