Abstract:

Nonlinear vibrations of a trapezoidal cantilever plate subjected to transverse external excitation are investigated. Based on von Karman large deformation theory, the Rayleigh-Ritz approach combined with the affine transformation is developed to obtain the nonlinear ordinary differential equation of a trapezoidal plate with irregular geometries. With the variation of geometrical parameters, there exists the 1:3 internal resonance for the trapezoidal plate. The amplitude-frequency formulations of the system in three different coupled conditions are derived by using multiple scales method for 1:3 internal resonance analysis. It is found that the strong coupling of two modes can change nonlinear stiffness behaviors of modes from hardening-spring to soft-spring characteristics. The detuning parameter and excitation amplitude have significant influence on nonlinear dynamic responses of the system. The bifurcation diagrams show that there exist the periodic, quasi-periodic, and chaotic motions for the trapezoidal cantilever plate in the 1:3 internal resonance cases and the nonlinear dynamic responses are dependent on the amplitude of excitation. The possible adverse dynamic behaviors and undesired resonance can be avoided by designing appropriate excitation and system parameters.
