| Abstract |
The vibration of the structures with restrained motion has long been observed in various engineering fields. When the motion of vibrating structure is restrained due to the adjacent objects, the frequencies and the mode shapes of the structure change and its vibration characteristics becomes unpredictable, in general. Although the importance of the study on this type of vibration model increases in many engineering areas, most studies conducted so far are limited to the theoretical study on dynamic responses of the structure with stops, including some experimental works. Specially, the study on the nonlinear phenomena due to the impact between the structure and the stops have been mainly performed theoretically. In the paper, both numerical analyses and experiments are conducted to study the chaotic vibration characteristics of the nonlinear motion and the dynamic response of a cantilevered beam which has restrained motion at the free end by the stops. Results are presented for various magnetic forces and gaps between the beam and stops. The conclusions are as follows : Firstly, Numerical simulation results have a good agreement with experimental ones. Secondly, the effect of higher modes of beams are increased with increasing magnitude of exciting force, and displacement and velocity curves become more complicated shapes. Thirdly, nonlinear characteristics tend to appear greatly with increasing magnitude of exciting force, and fractal dimension is increased. |
