Longitudinal dynamic behavior study of a vibrating rod connected through an elastic nonlinear single degree freedom coupler

Abstract

Abstract This research explores the efficacy of integrating nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom systems in the vibration control of rod coupling systems. By interlinking two rods with a nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom system as the intermediary, the study employs the Lagrange method (LM) to forecast nonlinear vibrational behaviors. The findings, substantiated by numerical analyses, affirm the precision of LM in gauging the amplitude responses when such a nonlinear system is utilized. The nonlinear dynamics, characterized by intricate vibrational patterns, peak jumping phenomena, and the migration of resonance zones, are induced by the nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom system. By fine-tuning the system’s parameters, significant alterations in the vibrational states of the rod coupling system are achievable. This suggests that the application of a nonlinear single-degree-of-freedom system is a viable strategy for modulating vibrations in rod systems. Furthermore, optimal parameterization of this system is proven to effectively dampen vibrations, showcasing its potential as a sophisticated mechanism for vibration suppression in coupled rod configurations.
