Nonlinear effects may play a crucial role, and therefore cannot be ignored in determining forced response of complex mechanical structures. However, predicting nonlinear dynamic behavior of structures accurately within a reasonable computational time is a challenging issue. In this study, steady state harmonic vibration response of large Multi-Degree of Freedom (MDOF) nonlinear systems is obtained by using a novel modal superposition method employing Response Dependent Nonlinear Modes (RDNM). RDNMs defined at each solution point constitute a new set of modes which forms a very strong basis for the nonlinear response space. Calculating the dynamic response of a nonlinear system by using RDNMs decreases the computational burden substantially. Utilizing only one or two RDNMs may be sufficient in the modal superposition method. In the solution, the Describing Function Method is used to obtain a set of nonlinear algebraic equations which are solved by Newton's method with arc-length continuation. The application of the method is demonstrated on a large MDOF system with some case studies by using different nonlinear elements. Computational times and accuracy of the solutions obtained are compared with those of the existing methods for different error criteria.

The dynamic response of multiple-degree-of-freedom nonlinear structures is usually determined by numerical integration of the equations of motion, an approach which is computationally very expensive for steady-state response analysis of large structures. In this paper, an alternative semianalytical quasilinear method based on the describing function formulation is proposed for the harmonic response analysis of structures with symmetrical nonlinearities. The equations of motion are converted to a set of nonl...
Properly Handling Complex Differentiation in Optimization and Approximation Problems
Candan, Çağatay (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-03-01)
Functions of complex variables arise frequently in the formulation of signal processing problems. The basic calculus rules on differentiation and integration for functions of complex variables resemble, but are not identical to, the rules of their real variable counterparts. On the contrary, the standard calculus rules on differentiation, integration, series expansion, and so on are the special cases of the complex analysis with the restriction of the complex variable to the real line. The goal of this lect...
Nonlinear Structural Coupling: Experimental Application
Kalaycioglu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat (2014-02-06)
In this work, the nonlinear structural modification/coupling technique proposed recently by the authors is applied to a test system in order to study the applicability of the method to real structures. The technique is based on calculating the frequency response functions of a modified system from those of the original system and the dynamic stiffness matrix of the nonlinear modifying part. The modification can also be in the form of coupling a nonlinear system to the original system. The test system used i...

Bahçecioğlu, Tunç; Çetin, Kemal Önder; Department of Civil Engineering (2011)
Numerical assessment of soil structure interaction problems require heavy computational efforts because of the dynamic and iterative (nonlinear) nature of the problems. Furthermore, modeling soil-structure interaction may require finer meshes in order to get reliable results. Latest computing technologies must be utilized to achieve results in reasonable run times. This study focuses on development and implantation of a parallel dynamic finite element analysis method for numerical solution of soil-structure i...
Nonlinear vibration analysis of L-shaped beams and their use in vibration reduction
Ekici, Yiğitcan; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-9)
In this thesis, nonlinear vibration analysis of both fixed L-shaped beam and L-shaped beam attached to a single degree of freedom (SDOF) system is performed for several cases with different structural parameters to observe the effect of these parameters. Then these beams are proposed to reduce the vibration amplitudes of certain structures, and the nonlinear effects on the dynamic responses of these structures are investigated. The nonlinear dynamic model of the L-shaped beam is obtained by using Euler-Bern...
