In this thesis, a new modal superposition method based on a hybrid mode shape concept is developed for the determination of steady state vibration response of nonlinear structures. The method is developed specifically for systems having nonlinearities where the stiffness of the system may take different limiting values. Stiffness variation of these nonlinear systems enables one to define different linear systems corresponding to each value of the limiting equivalent stiffness. Moreover, the response of the nonlinear system is bounded by the confinement of these linear systems. In this study, a modal superposition method utilizing novel hybrid mode shapes which are defined as linear combinations of the modal vectors of the limiting linear systems is proposed to determine periodic response of nonlinear systems. In this method the response of the nonlinear system is written in terms of hybrid modes instead of the modes of the underlying linear system. This provides decrease of the number of modes that should be retained for an accurate solution, which in turn reduces the number of nonlinear equations to be solved. In this way, computational time for response calculation is directly curtailed. In the solution, the equations of motion are converted to a set of nonlinear algebraic equations by using describing function approach, and the numerical solution is obtained by using Newton’s method with arc-length continuation. The method developed is applied on two different systems: a lumped parameter model and a finite element model. Several case studies are performed and the accuracy and computational efficiency of the proposed modal superposition method with hybrid mode shapes are compared with those of the classical modal superposition method which utilizes the mode shapes of the underlying linear system.

A new modal superposition method for nonlinear vibration analysis of structures using hybrid mode shapes Ferhatoglu, Erhan; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (Elsevier BV, 2018-07-01) In this paper, a new modal superposition method based on a hybrid mode shape concept is developed for the determination of steady state vibration response of nonlinear structures. The method is developed specifically for systems having nonlinearities where the stiffness of the system may take different limiting values. Stiffness variation of these nonlinear systems enables one to define different linear systems corresponding to each value of the limiting equivalent stiffness. Moreover, the response of the n...
A Novel Computational Method to Calculate Nonlinear Normal Modes of Complex Structures Samandarı, Hamed; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2019-01-31) In this study, a simple and efficient computational approach to obtain nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) of nonlinear structures is presented. Describing function method (DFM) is used to capture the nonlinear internal forces under periodic motion. DFM has the advantage of expressing the nonlinear internal force as a nonlinear stiffness matrix multiplied by a displacement vector, where the off-diagonal terms of the nonlinear stiffness matrix can provide a comprehensive knowledge about the coupling between the mo...
A Three dimensional mixed formulation nonlinear frame finite element based on hu-washizu functional Soydaş, Ozan; Sarıtaş, Afşin; Department of Civil Engineering (2013) A three dimensional nonlinear frame finite element is presented in this analytical study by utilizing Hu-Washizu principle with three fields of displacement, strain and stress in the variational form. Timoshenko beam theory is extended to three dimensions in order to derive strains from the displacement field. The finite element approximation for the beam uses shape functions for section forces that satisfy equilibrium and discontinous section deformations along the beam. Nonlinear analyses are performed by...
A new real-time suboptimum filtering and prediction scheme for general nonlinear discrete dynamic systems with Gaussian or non-Gaussian noise Demirbaş, Kerim (Informa UK Limited, 2011-01-01) A new suboptimum state filtering and prediction scheme is proposed for nonlinear discrete dynamic systems with Gaussian or non-Gaussian disturbance and observation noises. This scheme is an online estimation scheme for real-time applications. Furthermore, this scheme is very suitable for state estimation under either constraints imposed on estimates or missing observations. State and observation models can be any nonlinear functions of the states, disturbance and observation noises as long as noise samples ...
A weak-form spectral Chebyshev technique for nonlinear vibrations of rotating functionally graded beams Lotfan, Saeed; Dedekoy, Demir; Bediz, Bekir; Ciğeroğlu, Ender (2023-02-01) This study presents the spectral Chebyshev technique (SCT) for nonlinear vibrations of rotating beams based on a weak formulation. In addition to providing a fast-converging and precise solution for linear vibrations of structures with complex geometry, material, and physics, this method is further advanced to be able to analyze the nonlinear vibration behavior of continuous systems. Rotational motion and material gradation further complicate this nonlinear behavior. Accordingly, the beam is considered to b...
