This lecture overviews recent developments of some problems related to elastic structures, such as portal frames, considering the full interactions of the vibrating systems, with an energy source of limited power supply (small motors, electro-mechanical shakers), known as non-ideal rotary machines (RNIS). We also present a discussion on nonlinear resonances, including periodic, quasiperiodic, and chaotic characteristics in the steady state motions, and an energy transfer between the energy source and the support structures and a control approach (including sensitivity analysis) to cope with it. Fractional stiffness and damping were also considered. Topics of interest, discussed here, include interdisciplinary approaches and complex nonlinear phenomena in problems encountered in emergent engineering practice.

Support stiffness is one of important factors on structure dynamics. Considering the vertical support stiffness, a multi-cable-stayed shallow-arch model of the cable-stayed bridge is established. Its differential equation governing the planar motion of cables and the shallow arch and the boundary conditions are derived by Hamilton’s principle. Firstly, the in-plane free vibration of the system is explored in order to find the modal functions and the possible internal resonances of nonlinear dynamics. Then, the 1:2:2 internal resonance among the different modes of the shallow arch and two cables are investigated by the multiple time scale method and pseudo arclength algorithm. Meanwhile, the frequency-/force-response curves are used to explore the nonlinear behaviours of the system, especially the influence of vertical support stiffness, excitation frequency and amplitude on the internal resonance of the system is considered. To a certain extent, the support stiffness can reduce the response amplitudes of members by absorbing some energy from excitation.

We present theoretically and experimentally a prototype of gyroscopic metamaterial composed by chain or planar network of gyroscopes, which permits circular polarization and dynamic tunability when manipulating mechanical waves.
One-dimensional gyroscopic chain, and two-dimensional networks with both angular and rectangular cells have been investigated. Three types of pass bands have been found by tuning the gyroscope angular momentum: higher and lower frequency parts transmits different circular polarized waves with opposite directions, and the middle part transmit both. Pass bands of scalable frequency ranges for forward circular polarized and backward circular polarized waves can be designed by such dynamic tunability. We classified the gyroscopic metamaterials into two types: free type and constrained type. It is found the two types show opposite circular polarization direction. The rotation effect to the linearly polarized mechanical waves has also been found in the band transmitting both forward and backward circular polarized waves, similar to the Faraday rotation effect of magneto-optical materials to the linearly polarized light.

E-mail: wangyanqing@mail.neu.edu.cn
Primary, superharmonic, and subharmonic resonances of graphene platelet (GPL) reinforced metal foam (GPLRMF) rectangular plates are investigated. Various GPL distributions and porosity distributions are considered. Governing equations and general boundary conditions are obtained via Hamilton’s principle. Introducing the stress function, ordinary differential equations of the nonlinear system are received by using the Galerkin method. Finally, frequency-response relationships are solved by applying the multiple scale method. The effects of the porosity coefficient, the weight fraction of GPL, the amplitude of the excitation, and the damping ratio on frequency-response curves are studied. Results show that GPLRMF plate shows the hardening nonlinearity in primary and superharmonic resonances.

The thermal induced vibration of typical low dimensional nanostructures is investigated by using molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and the continuums models. The nonlinear dynamics equations for vibrations of the typical nanostructures are established, with the geometric nonlinearity of the large deformation taken into account. The thermal vibration of nanostructures is predicted by numerically integrating of the dynamic equations of the nonlinear beam and plate models via the-fourth-order-Runge-Kutta algorithm. The Root of Mean Squared (RMS) amplitudes and the stationary probability densities of the thermal vibration of the nanostructures are obtained via MD simulations and the continuum models. In addition, the effects of van der Waals force on the nonlinear thermal vibration of nanostructure are also investigated.

Multi-mode vortex-induced vibration and its suppression of long-span suspension bridges
Xugang Hua
College of Civil Engineering, Hunan University, China
E-mail: cexghua@hnu.edu.cn
Vortex-induced vibration is a kind of fluid-structure interaction. It may occur at relatively low wind velocity, and is therefore an important design concern for bridges. In 2020, three major suspension bridges in China experienced severe vortex-induced vibrations, which attracted public concern. Suspension bridges have closely-spaced vertical vibration modes, and each mode may develop VIV in turn with increase of wind velocity. The evolution of VIV amplitude of each mode needs to be quantified, as higher mode tends to give rise large acceleration. In this talk, we discuss the modelling and prediction of VIV amplitude of vertical modes of suspension bridges both from numerical and experimental aspects. A new multi-supported aeroelastic model is proposed to reproduce the closely-spaced mode of suspension bridges and to predict the VIV amplitude as well. Moreover, the suppression of multi-mode VIV will also be addressed.
