Abstract Previous nonlinear spinning disk models neglected the in-plane inertia of the disk since this permits the use of a stress function. This paper aims to consider the effect of including the in-plane inertia of the disk on the resulting nonlinear dynamics and to construct approximate solutions that capture the new dynamics. The inclusion of the in-plane inertia results in a nonlinear coupling between the in-plane and transverse vibrations of the spinning disk. The full nonlinear partial differential equations are simplified to a simpler nonlinear two degrees of freedom model via the method of Galerkin. A canonical perturbation approach is used to derive an approximate solution to this simpler nonlinear problem. Numerical simulations are used to evaluate the effectiveness of the approximate solution. Through the use of these analytical and numerical tools, it becomes apparent that the inclusion of in-plane inertia gives rise to new phenomena such as internal resonance and the possibility of instability in the system that are not predicted if the in-plane inertia is ignored. It is also demonstrated that the canonical perturbation approach can be used to produce an effective approximate solution. Ó 2005 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

1. Introduction Spinning disks can be found in many engineering applications. Common industrial applications include circular sawblades, turbine rotors, brake systems, fans, flywheels, gears, grinding wheels, precision gyroscopes and computer storage devices. Spinning disks may experience severe vibrations which could lead to fatigue failure of the system. Thus, the dynamics of spinning disks has attracted much research interest over the years.

Many authors have investigated the vibrations of spinning disks using linear theory. The original papers are

by Lamb and Southwell [1] and by Southwell [2] where the disk was modelled as a spinning membrane with added bending stiffness. Another popular approach in the literature is to model the spinning disks as a pure membrane with no bending stiffness [3–6]. The incorporation of both the bending stiffness of the disk and the effect of rotation leads to a fourth order PDE that is difficult to solve. As a result, various researchers have *

applied different solution techniques to the linear analysis of the free transverse vibrations of spinning disks [7–10]. In addition to considering the transverse vibrations of a spinning disk, the problem of free planar vibrations has also been investigated using linear theory [11–15].

Although less extensive, nonlinear models have also been employed since it is known from the theory of stationary disks that the linear theory breaks down when the transverse displacement is on the order of the thickness of the disk [16–19]. However, even in the nonlinear case the in-plane inertia of the disk has always been neglected and the authors could not find any papers that considered its inclusion in the nonlinear dynamics of the rotating disk. This paper thus aims to investigate the effect of the inclusion of the in-plane inertia of the disk on the resulting dynamics.

In this paper, an approximate solution to the nonlinear coupled vibrations of a spinning disk is considered and analyzed. The main focus is to investigate the effect of including the in-plane inertia. This is done by representing the solution as one mode for each of the transverse and in-plane vibrations and assuming a form for the space-dependent part of the solution. The time-dependent parts of the in-plane and transverse problems are then solved for. Through this method, three nonlinear partial differential equations become condensed into two nonlinear ordinary differential equations, for the time dependence of the transverse and in-plane vibrations. If the in-plane inertia of the plate is neglected, the same approach would yield a one degree of freedom model. The two degree of freedom model can be used to determine the effect of the inclusion of in-plane inertia on the dynamics of the problem. The thrust of this paper is to derive the simplified two degree of freedom model, to consider analytical and numerical solutions and to compare these solutions to the one degree of freedom model that results if in-plane inertia is neglected.

2. Equations of motion Since all previous models in the literature ignore the in-plane inertia of the disk in order that a stress function may be used, it is necessary to rederive the equations of motion so that the in-plane inertia of the disk may be kept. This results in three equations of motion for the dynamics instead of the usual two—a considerable complication. This derivation was performed in detail in [20]. The resulting equations and accompanying boundary conditions are given below as

Note that the full nonlinear representation of the spinning disk problem requires the solution of three nonlinearly coupled partial differential equation, Eqs. (1)–(3). By way of contrast, the nonlinear model used by other researchers consists of two coupled partial differential equations [16]. The difference arises as a result of the use of Lagrangian coordinates as well as the inclusion of in-plane inertia and Coriolis terms.

2.1. Nonlinear boundary conditions The boundary conditions at a free boundary obtained from applying HamiltonÕs principle and integration by parts are given below. Recall that here r must be evaluated on the free boundary. Thus, for a solid disk, r below is the outer radius of the disk.

Strategy of solution To consider the effect of the inclusion of in-plane inertia, we choose to proceed with GalerkinÕs procedure to produce a simplified problem. The result will be a two degree of freedom nonlinear model—one for each of the time dependences of the in-plane and transverse vibrations. To this purpose, let us choose the displacements as uðr; h; tÞ ¼ ueq ðrÞ þ U ðrÞ cosðmhÞcðtÞ; vðr; h; tÞ ¼ V ðrÞ sinðmhÞcðtÞ; wðr; h; tÞ ¼ W ðrÞ cosðnhÞsðtÞ;

ð8Þ ð9Þ ð10Þ

where ueq, U, V and W are known and will be discussed momentarily. The only unknowns here are the time dependences, c(t) and s(t). The ueq portion is the in-plane equilibrium displacement due to the spin of the disk.

The implication here is that there is a symmetrical time-independent in-plane displacement that occurs in the plane of the disk as a result of its rotation (that is, due to the centrifugal force). The form for u and v follows from the solution of the in-plane linear problem [21,22,13] giving

U mk iðmh p tÞ mk umk ¼ Amk ; ð11Þ e iV mk where Umk and Vmk are the in-plane mode shapes of the linear spinning disk and pmk is the in-plane frequency of vibration. Taking the real part of Eq. (11) leads to the forms for u and v indicated in Eqs. (8) and (9). Now,

57

U and V will be taken to be Umk and Vmk, respectively, where Umk and Vmk are the (m, k)th in-plane mode shapes found by solving the free linear in-plane vibration problem. Other choices for U and V can also be made and we are not limited to choosing them the be the in-plane mode shapes. However, the advantages of taking U and V to be the in-plane mode shapes are that (i) there are proven orthogonality properties for the in-plane mode shapes [21] and more importantly (ii) the in-plane mode shapes satisfy the boundary conditions rrr = rrh = 0 at the boundary of the disk. Similarly, W will be taken to be Wnk, where Wnk is the (n, k)th mode shape of the linear strain model of the spinning disk, obtained by dropping ALL nonlinear terms in Eq. (3), see [23]. That is,

r r W nk ðrÞ ¼ J n P nk þ Bn I n P nk ; ð12Þ a b a a nk where P nk a and P b are the (n, k)th solutions of the frequency equation for the linear strain model of the spinnk ning disk [20]. Recall that the appropriate relationship between P nk a and P b must be specified. Other choices for the space-dependent portion of the solution can easily be made and substituted into the above expressions.

Once a choice for the space-dependent part of the solution has been made, it still remains to use this choice to derive the equations of motion for the temporal part of the solution. One option is to substitute the assumed forms of the solution into the equations of motion and then apply the method of Galerkin. A completely equivalent calculation is to substitute the assumed form of the solution into the expressions for kinetic and potential energies and using LagrangeÕs equations. The advantage of actually calculating the potential and kinetic energies of the system is that conserved quantities are more readily apparent. Such conservation laws can be used to simplify the equations of motion and could aid in the finding of an analytic solution. Furthermore, the machinery of HamiltonÕs equations and canonical perturbation theory is also available in this formulation.

For these reasons, the simplified 2 DOF ordinary differential equations of motion are derived in this alternative manner.

3.2. Galerkin method Using the assumption of plane stress, along with linear stress–strain relationships and nonlinear von Karman strains, the potential and kinetic energies of the system can then be found in terms of the two degrees of freedom, c and s to given by PE ¼ Q1 c2 þ Q2 s4 þ Q3 s2 þ Q4 þ Q10 cs2 ; 2

The above calculations indicate that Q10 = 0 for m 5 2n. This point is worth some consideration since it considerably affects the resulting dynamics if Q10 is indeed zero. In this case, Q10 = 0 follows as a result of our choosing trigonometric functions for the h component of the trial solution to the problem and the fact that the sine and cosine functions possess orthogonality properties. A slightly different choice for the h component of the solution would not necessarily lead to Q10 = 0.

Note that for a stationary disk, where X = 0, it would follow that Q4 = 0 unless the disk is pre-stressed and that Q5 = Q6 = Q9 = 0. All other expressions are the same for a stationary disk, although the actual mode shapes used in these expressions will be different.

Once expressions for the kinetic and potential energies are found, the Lagrangian can be constructed and the equations of motion for the simplified system can be found.

In future discussions, cq and sq will be replaced with c and s for ease of notation.

It is important to note that if Q10 = 0 then k1 = 0 and the two equations of motion (36) and (37) are uncoupled. That is, for Q10 = 0, the system behaves like two independent oscillators, where the in-plane oscillator is linear and the transverse one is a nonlinear duffing oscillator. What are the physical implications of this?

Recall that to arrive at Eqs. (36) and (37), two particular modes were selected at the outset. If k1 = 0, the implication is that the vibration of these particular modes are not coupled. Since there is an infinite number of in-plane and transverse modes of vibration, this would not necessarily imply that none of the in-plane and transverse modes of vibrations are coupled. However, it does not follow that all the transverse modes are coupled to all the in-plane modes and this is the physical implication of k1 = 0.

3.3. Simplifying the coefficients After some calculation and simplification, it can be rigorously shown that xc and xs are exactly what we would expect them to be—namely the frequencies of vibration of the linear in-plane and transverse vibrations.

3.3.1. Calculating xc It can be shown that Q1 reduces to the sum of a boundary term and an integral term Q1 ¼ Qboundary þ Qintegral ; 1 1

which is precisely the linear in-plane frequency of vibration as shown in [21]. For a stationary disk, it can be shown that x2c ¼ p2mk . In other words, xc is precisely the frequency of vibration of the in-plane mode that was chosen. This is a naturally intuitive result, which the calculations justify.

3.3.2. Calculating xs Let us now consider how to calculate xs. Recall that xs is defined by x2s ¼

a ÔmembraneÕ part which is proportional to h. Clearly the plate part is given by 3 Q 6 and the membrane part is 7 Qh given by Q3 . If we take W to be the eigenfunctions of the linear strain model of the spinning disk [23], then 7 r r W ¼ W nk ¼ Ank J n P a þ C nk I n P b . ð46Þ a a Let knk denote the (n, k)th frequency of vibration of the linear strain model of the spinning disk. Then following some algebra it can be shown that the plate portion of x2s is given by 3

Qh3 Q6 ¼ k2nk .

Q7

ð47Þ

That is, the plate portion of x2s is the square of the frequency of the linear strain model of the spinning plate.

Considering the fact that the Wnk were chosen to be the mode shapes of this model, this is an intuitive result.

Now consider the membrane portion x2s . o R a n eq dW 2 eq n2 W 2 h ph r þ r r dr hh r2 rr dr 0 Q3 i . ð48Þ ¼ 3 R a h 2 R 2 a dW Q7 qh p þ n2 W r dr þ qhp W 2 r dr 3

Now, for W = Wnk, where the Wnk are the eigenfunctions of the linear strain model of the spinning plate, the above expression does not permit as nice an interpretation as the plate component of x2s did. However, for the sake of illustration, suppose that in Eq. (48) we take W ¼ W mnk , the eigenfunctions of the linear spinning membrane. First, the term proportional toRh3 in the denominator of Eq. (48) would not be present for a membrane. a Thus, the denominator becomes qhp 0 W 2 r dr. Furthermore, if the eigenfunctions of the spinning membrane are normalized, then Eq. (48) can be shown to reduce to m 2 2 Qh3 qph knk ¼ kmnk ; ¼ Q7 qph

ð49Þ

that is, the square of the natural frequency of the (n, k)th mode of the spinning membrane. Again, this is a natural result. However, in this development, it is the eigenfunctions of the linear strain model of the spinning disk that are being used and thus the membrane component of x2s will not give exactly ðkmnk Þ2 but rather some approximation to it.

As another note, suppose that we had taken W ¼ W NLSM , the eigenfunctions of the nonlinear strain model, nk obtained by dropping only the terms nonlinear in w and its derivatives in Eq. (3). Note that these eigenfunctions are not actually available to us, but it is instructive to see what would happen is we could use them in this calculation. A quick review of the above developments would indicate that the result to be expected is x2s ¼ ðkNLSM Þ2 . nk

Clearly, xc and xs are the natural frequencies of the linear in-plane and transverse modes that were chosen.

The expressions for k1 and k3 are complicated, but it suffices to note that they will depend on the amplitudes of the chosen modes.

Eqs. (50) and (51) can also be arrived at from the point of view of HamiltonÕs equations. That is, Eqs. (50) and (51) are equivalent to oH ; opc oH s_ ¼ ; ops oH ; p_ c ¼ oc oH ; p_ s ¼ os c_ ¼

Since the equations of motion of the 2 DOF model can be derived from a Hamiltonian, they are a Hamiltonian system. The general objective here is to transform the given Hamiltonian system into a simpler Hamiltonian system and to use the result to construct an approximate solution.

4.1. Transformation of the Hamiltonian Generally, a transformation of variables from generalized coordinates q, p to qq, pq can be of the form qI ¼ qI ðq; p; tÞ; pI ¼ pI ðq; p; tÞ

with corresponding transformed differential equations q_ I ¼ q_ I ðq; p; tÞ; p_ I ¼ p_ I ðq; p; tÞ.

Suppose that Eq. (55) has the same symmetry as the original equations. That is, suppose that there exists a function Hq(qq, pq, t) such that oH I ; opI oH I p_ I ¼ I . oq

q_ I ¼

ð56Þ

Then the transformation (54) is known as a canonical transformation [24], transforming Hamiltonian differential equations into another system of differential equations of the same type.

One possible approach to solving the equations of motion is to find a canonical transformation such that the transformed Hamiltonian Hq is a constant function, independent of time and any of the generalized

coordinates or momenta. Then Eq. (56) reduce to the simple form of q_ I ¼ p_ I ¼ 0 and can be easily integrated.

In reality, finding such a transformation can be just as difficult as solving the original equations of motion.

However, it is possible to use a canonical transformation that effectively transforms a simpler Hamiltonian to aid in the construction of an approximate solution for a problem with a more complicated Hamiltonian.

Even though such a transformation will not solve the more complicated problem, it will help in the construction of an approximate solution. This is the approach that will be undertaken here.

Consider the Hamiltonian of the 2 DOF model: H¼

H ð0Þ ¼

ð59Þ

H ð1Þ

ð60Þ

The motivation for doing this is that H(0) can be recognized as the Hamiltonian of two uncoupled linear harmonic oscillators. H(1) brings in coupling by way of the third order k1 term. The fourth order term in H(1) does not couple the two oscillators. Rather, it has the effect of turning the linear s oscillator into a nonlinear duffing oscillator. The k1 term is the only term that couples the two oscillators.

Thus the first step in our approximate solution will be to find a canonical transformation that transforms H(0) into a constant. This can easily be done by solving the Hamilton–Jacobi equation associated with H(0) [24]. Now this canonical transformation is equally valid no matter which Hamiltonian is employed. It just has the particular advantage of simplifying this particular Hamiltonian H(0), but it can be used with the entire original Hamiltonian H. After thus transforming the Hamiltonian, approximate solutions for the ensuing Hamiltonian equations will be sought.

Solving the Hamilton–Jacobi equation associated with H(0) yields pffiffiffiffiffiffiffi 2a1 c¼ sin xc ðt b1 Þ; ð61Þ xc pffiffiffiffiffiffiffi 2a2 sin xs ðt b2 Þ. ð62Þ s¼ xs Furthermore, the generalized momenta can also be transformed qffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi pffiffiffiffiffiffiffi oS ¼ 2a1 x2c c2 ¼ 2a1 cos xc ðt b1 Þ; pc ¼ oc qffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi pffiffiffiffiffiffiffi oS ¼ 2a2 x2s s2 ¼ 2a2 cos xs ðt b2 Þ. ps ¼ os

ð63Þ ð64Þ

Eqs. (61)–(64) are essentially a canonical transformation from the old variables c, s, pc, ps to the new variables a1, a2, b1, b2, where these are constants of integration. It can be verified that if (61)–(64) are substituted into H(0), the result is the constant a1 + a2. This is not coincidence: the transformation was specifically constructed to do so. In fact, Eqs. (61)–(64) are precisely the solution to the uncoupled two oscillator problem. The transformed Hamiltonian for the uncoupled two oscillator problem is given by H ð0Þ þ oS , which is precisely zero (by ot construction).

Now, while this canonical transformation transforms H(0) into zero, it does not do so for the entire Hamiltonian H = H(0) + H(1). The transformed Hamiltonian becomes H I ¼ H ð0Þ þ oS þ H ð1Þ ¼ H ð1Þ ða1 ; ot (1) a2 ; b1 ; b2 ; tÞ. Using these results, the Ôperturbing HamiltonianÕ H can be expressed as

Although it may not be obvious yet, if xc = 2xs, then the system will display internal resonance and H(1) will take on a different form.

Eqs. (65)–(68) are exact—no approximations have been made at this point. We have used a valid transformation to change the variables and obtained the equations of motion for the transformed variables. If these equations could be solved, they would provide the solution to the original problem although practically this is not easier than the original problem. The utility of the transformation is that Eqs. (65)–(68) offer a good starting point for approximate solutions and make certain features of the solutions easy to spot.

To construct an approximate solution, a1, a2, b1, b2 on the right hand side of Eqs. (65)–(68) are replaced by their initial constant values. Eqs. (65)–(68) are then integrated to yield the first order canonical perturbation solution. For a second order canonical perturbation solution, a1, a2, b1, b2 on the right hand side of Eqs. (65)– (68) are replaced with the first order perturbation solution found in the previous step. This procedure can be continued indefinitely, although in practice this gets unwieldy after a few iterations.

Clearly, a quick glance at some of the values in the denominators reveals that the above expressions for a11 ; a12 ; b11 ; b12 are not valid if the resonance condition of xc = 2xs holds. In that case, the limit of the above expressions as xc ! 2xs is taken.

This procedure thus gives a first order solution for both the internal resonance case and the non-internal resonance case. To find the second order solution, a1, a2, b1, b2 on the right hand side of Eqs. (65)–(68) are replaced with their first order values a11 ; a12 ; b11 ; b12 . Once again, the right hand sides of Eqs. (65)–(68) can be integrated to yield the second order perturbation solution a21 ; a22 ; b21 ; b22 , although this can be difficult to achieve analytically. In general, the canonical perturbation approach easily provides a first order approximate solution while higher order approximations are possible but more difficult with this approach.

Recall that a1,a2, b1,b2 do not provide the solution to the original problem directly. These are obtained from the transformation equations, namely pffiffiffiffiffiffiffi 2a1 sin xc ðt b1 Þ; ð85Þ c¼ xc pffiffiffiffiffiffiffi 2a2 sin xs ðt b2 Þ. ð86Þ s¼ xs Recall that a01 ; a02 ; b01 ; b02 are constants, thus the resulting solution for c and s for the two uncoupled oscillators are simply periodic trigonometric functions, namely the linear solution for simple harmonic oscillators that are so familiar. For the coupled problem, a11 ; a12 ; b11 ; b12 are actually periodic functions themselves. Thus the resulting solutions for c and s are now periodic trigonometric functions with periodically changing amplitudes.

5. Exact solution of the 1 DOF model Recall that the nonlinear model of a spinning disk used in the literature neglects the presence of in-plane inertia. The model derived here, Eqs. (50) and (51), can be reduced to the model used in the literature by ignoring the in-plane inertia in Eq. (50). Eq. (50) would then become x2c c þ k 1 s2 ¼ 0.

ð87Þ

This equation can be solved for c and the result substituted into Eq. (51) to yield the one degree of freedom model (1 DOF):

2k 2 €s þ x2s s þ k 3 21 s3 ¼ 0. ð88Þ xc Note that this is the equation of motion of a nonlinear one degree of freedom system and will be referred to as the one degree of freedom (1 DOF) model, describing the dynamics of the system that ignores the effect of in-plane inertia.

The Hamiltonian associated with Eq. (88) can be written as

p2s x2s 2 k3 k 21 4 H 1 DOF ¼ þ s þ

ð89Þ s.

2 2 4 2x2c Recall that ps ¼ ds and that the Hamiltonian must be conserved since it does not explicitly depend on time, dt that is H1 DOF is a constant. Using those two facts, Eq. (88) can be integrated to give s as a function of time.

If the initial conditions are given by sð0Þ ¼ s0 ; dsð0Þ ¼ 0; dt

then the solution is given by sðtÞ ¼ s0 cnðxð1Þ t; k ð1Þ Þ;

In Eq. (92), cn is the Jacobian elliptic function that is a generalization of the cosine function. The function cn(x(1)t, k(1)) is a periodic function with period T ð1Þ ¼

4K ð1Þ ; xð1Þ

ð95Þ

where K(1)(k(1)) = F(k(1), p/2) is the complete elliptic integral of the first kind. Note that the above solution is only valid for real k(1). That is, for k 3 x2c 2k 21 > 0. The solution to the 1 DOF model is thus a periodic function which reduces to the cosine function when k(1) = 0. Furthermore, the frequency of this function is given by x(1) which depends on xs, as we would expect, as well as s0, k1, k3 and xc. Here, k1 and k3 may depend on the amplitudes of vibration and thus we have the familiar result of the frequency of vibration being dependent on the amplitude.

6. Numerical simulations In this section, numerical simulations of the 1 DOF and 2 DOF models are considered, along with the approximate solution. All numerical results were obtained by using MATLAB. For numerical solutions to the nonlinearly coupled equations, fourth and fifth order Runge–Kutta formulas were employed via builtin MATLAB functions.

6.1. Resonance cases For the first case, the following values for the constants are taken: k1 = 2, k3 = 2, xc = 4, xs = 2, c0 = 0.2, s0 = 0.2. This is clearly a case where xc = 2xs, thus internal resonance is expected.

Consider first a comparison of the numerical solution of the 1 DOF and 2 DOF models. This is shown for s and c in Figs. 1 and 2, respectively. Since the approximation c ¼ xk12 is used in order to obtain the 1 DOF c model, it is to be expected that there is a large discrepancy between c(t) as obtained from the solutions of the 1 DOF model and the 2 DOF model. This is in fact shown explicitly in Fig. 2. What is interesting and not predicted by the 1 DOF model is the internal resonance. From Fig. 1 it can be seen that while the amplitude of s(t) remains constant for the 1 DOF model, the 2 DOF model displays a periodically varying amplitude, in keeping with the phenomena of internal resonance. It can be seen from Figs. 1 and 2 that energy is

transferred back and forth from the s oscillator to the c oscillator. Indeed, each achieves its maximum amplitude variation when the other achieves its minimum amplitude variation.

Now that we have a better understanding of how the exact solution of the 2 DOF model behaves, let us consider how the approximate solution fares in capturing the periodic variation of amplitude. The exact solution is compared to the first and second order canonical perturbation solutions in Figs. 3 and 4. Clearly, the first order canonical perturbation solution does not have the correct amplitude variation. However, it can be seen from the figures that the second order canonical perturbation solution is a much better approximation to the actual solution since it begins to capture the variation of amplitude of the solution.

As a second example, consider the case k1 = 4, k3 = 6, xc = 2, xs = 1, c0 = 0.1, s0 = 0.1. This is also a case where xc = 2xs, thus internal resonance is expected.

Many of the comments made regarding the previous case can also be made here. Note how the 1 DOF model does not predict the variation of the amplitude. In addition, the first order canonical perturbation solution does not correctly reflect this same change in the amplitude of the solution. Note that once again the second order canonical perturbation solution fares better at representing the solution of the 2 DOF model than the first order canonical perturbation solution.

The graphs of s and c for the exact solutions of the 1 DOF and 2 DOF model are shown in Figs. 9 and 10, respectively. Also, the graphs of s and c for the exact solution of the 2 DOF model, the first and second order canonical perturbation solutions are shown in Figs. 11 and 12, respectively.

As expected, the solutions for c for the exact 1 DOF and 2 DOF models differ significantly, but this is expected as a result of the assumption required to arrive at the 1 DOF model. Other than that discrepancy, all other solutions match perfectly.

Once again, there is good agreement between the approximate solutions and the exact solution. Note also how the frequency of the solutions depends on the initial conditions. The only change in this case from the previous case is in the initial conditions.

Consider a similar example with k1 = 2, k3 = 4, xc = 1, xs = 3, c0 = 1, s0 = 1. There is no internal resonance predicted in this case. However, a quick calculation will reveal that potential energy function has a maximum and that the initial energy in the system is greater than this maximum. Thus, we should expect instability in the system.

The graphs of s and c for the exact solutions of the 1 DOF and 2 DOF model are shown in Figs. 17 and 18, respectively. Also, the graphs of s and c for the exact solution of the 2 DOF model, the first and second order canonical perturbation solutions are shown in Figs. 19 and 20, respectively.

A quick glance at the figures reveals that the 2 DOF model does indeed display the expected instability.

Indeed, the solutions for s and c both blow up in finite time for the 2 DOF model. However, it should be noted

that neither the 1 DOF model, nor any of the approximate solutions display the same behaviour. The 1 DOF model solutions and the approximate solutions remain bounded.

On the other hand, if the same case is considered with only a change in initial conditions to c0 = 0.1, s0 = 0.1, the only thing this changes is the initial energy in the system so that the initial energy is now less then the maximum value of the potential energy. With the initial energy being less than the maximum value of the potential energy, there is no instability in the system. Only periodic solutions are observed with the 1 DOF and 2 DOF models producing the same solution for s. The graphs of the solutions resemble those of the previous case and are thus not included. As for the previous case, the approximate solutions and the exact solutions agree quite well.

7. Summary of comparison between 1 DOF and 2 DOF models By employing analytical and numerical tools, a better picture of the similarities and differences between the 1 DOF and 2 DOF models begins to emerge. First, the 1 DOF model predicts a periodic solution for the time dependence of the transverse vibrations, s. Although the frequency of vibration depends on various parameters of the solution, the amplitude of the solution is constant. For this model, the time dependence of the inplane vibrations, c is linearly related to s since the in-plane inertia is dropped. Although this will not accurately represent the dynamics of the in-plane vibrations, it simplifies the overall problem enough to permit a closedform solution to the transverse problem. If k1 = 0, for the 1 DOF model we get the seemingly nonsensical result that c = 0. This is actually a reasonable statement which follows from the underlying assumption.

Namely, by ignoring the in-plane inertia, we are essentially stating that the in-plane problem is a static problem. Further assuming that k1 = 0 states that there is no coupling between the in-plane and transverse vibrations. Hence, no coupling to a static problem leads to the prediction that the static problem remains unchanged. In other words, c = 0.

It becomes quickly apparent that solutions of the 2 DOF model that includes the effect of in-plane inertia will exhibit a broader range of possible behaviour than for the 1 DOF model. This model is best viewed as a nonlinear duffing oscillator for the transverse vibrations and a linear harmonic oscillator for the in-plane vibrations. These are nonlinearly coupled. For k1 = 0, there is no coupling between the two oscillators. Thus, the two oscillators can oscillate independently. The first difference between the 1 DOF and 2 DOF oscillator

becomes apparent: depending on the modes in question, it is possible that these modes are coupled. It is also possible that the vibrations of the chosen modes are not coupled. For the case where the modes are not coupled, the results for the vibrations of the transverse oscillator are very similar to the results of the 1 DOF transverse oscillator. In both cases, they are independent duffing oscillators.

For the case of coupled oscillators, the possibility of internal resonance between the oscillators arises. This represents a marked difference from the 1 DOF model where there is no possibility of internal resonance since there is only one degree of freedom. In the case of internal resonance, there is a sort of Ôenergy sharingÕ between the two oscillators. The amplitudes of vibrations of both are not constant but rather vary periodically.

This is reminiscent of beats between two linear harmonic oscillators. For the linear harmonic oscillator, the

beat frequency is easily found, whereas for the nonlinearly coupled oscillators it is not. For the non-resonant case numerical simulations showed that the predictions of the 1 DOF and 2 DOF models may vary in their predictions of the amplitude of the solution.

For the 2 DOF model, energy analysis and numerical simulations predict the possibility of instability in the system. It can also be seen that sometimes the 1 DOF model predicts a periodic solution while the 2 DOF model predicts instability, a marked difference.

8. Conclusion In conclusion, by including the effect of in-plane inertia the dynamics of the system includes phenomena not previously predicted. New phenomena such as internal resonance or non-uniformity of the amplitude of the solution arise. Depending on initial conditions, system instability is a possibility of the 2 DOF model that is not predicted by the 1 DOF model. Such phenomena are not predicted by the simpler model where in-plane inertia is neglected.

Further, the efficacity of a canonical perturbation approach in deriving approximate solutions to the nonlinear problems was investigated. It was generally observed that a second order canonical perturbation solution can effectively capture the nonlinear system dynamics in the cases where the system is expected to remain stable.
