Periodic vibration response of nonlinear mechanical systems can be efficiently computed using Harmonic Balance Method. However, computational burden may still be considerable and impede extensive parametric studies needed for, e.g., design optimization and prediction of vibration response especially when the degree of freedom is very large. In this work, the methods which had been previously developed by the authors for further model order reduction to one or a few coordinates are compared. The focus is placed mainly on modal approaches, namely Modal Superposition Method using Linear Modes (MSM-LM), Modal Superposition Method using Hybrid Modes (MSM-HM), and Modal Superposition Method using Nonlinear Modes (MSM-NM). Another method for vibration analysis of nonlinear structures is the Receptance Method (RM), in which the harmonic response of a nonlinear MDOF system is calculated from the receptances of the linear counterparts. This method exploits the sparsity of the nonlinear terms in frequency domain equations and therefore may be very efficient when the nonlinearity is local, which is the case in several applications. Performances and accuracies of these methods are compared with each other using the results of the direct analysis of the full order model as reference. The methods are applied to a benchmark system consisting of a finite element model of a beam with different nonlinear elements; but, only the results of dry friction elements are presented here. The focus is placed on periodic forced response regimes near resonances. Several conclusions and recommendations that may guide users are derived from the comparison studies. © 2020, Society for Experimental Mechanics, Inc.

Performance analysis and comparison of reduced common mode voltage PWM and standard PWM techniques for three-phase voltage source inverters
Un, E; Hava, Ahmet Masum (2006-03-23)
This paper investigates the performance characteristics of the reduced common mode voltage (RCMV) PWM methods for three phase voltage source inverters and provides a comparison with the standard PWM methods. PWM methods are reviewed and their pulse patterns and common mode voltage patterns illustrated. The AC output current ripple, DC link input current ripple, and output voltage linearity characteristics of each modulation method are thoroughly investigated by analytical methods and simulations. The analys...
Investigation of decoupling techniques for linear and nonlinear systems
Kalaycıoğlu, Taner; Özgüven, Hasan Nevzat; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2018)
Structural coupling methods are widely used in predicting dynamics of coupled systems. In this study, the reverse problem, i.e. predicting the dynamic behavior of a particular subsystem from the knowledge of the dynamics of the overall system and of all the other subsystems, is studied. This problem arises when a substructure cannot be measured separately, but only when coupled to neighboring substructures. The dynamic decoupling problem of coupled linear structures is well investigated in literature. Howev...
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...
Direct numerical simulation of pipe flow using a solenoidal spectral method
Tugluk, Ozan; Tarman, Işık Hakan (2012-05-01)
In this study, a numerical method based on solenoidal basis functions, for the simulation of incompressible flow through a circular-cylindrical pipe, is presented. The solenoidal bases utilized in the study are formulated using the Legendre polynomials. Legendre polynomials are favorable, both for the form of the basis functions and for the inner product integrals arising from the Galerkin-type projection used. The projection is performed onto the dual solenoidal bases, eliminating the pressure variable, si...

Baykal, Cem; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit (2020-01-01)
In this study, a nonlinear 3-D mathematical model for horizontal drum type washing machines is developed considering rotating unbalance type excitation. Nonlinear differential equations of motion are converted into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations by using Harmonic Balance Method (HBM). The resulting nonlinear algebraic equations are solved by using Newton’s method with arc-length continuation. Several case studies are performed in order to observe the effects of orientation angles of springs and damp...
