Nonlinear vibration of an orthotropic moving membrane
Abstract
This paper addresses the dynamic behaviours of an orthotropic moving membrane. Considering the material properties of the membrane, a mathematical model is developed via the von Karman’s large deflection theory. The dynamic behaviours are demonstrated by numerical analysis based on the Runge–Kutta fourth-order method. These numerical examples provide important insights into the impacts of the velocity, aspect ratio and orthotropic coefficient on the nonlinear dynamics of the orthotropic membrane.
