Internal resonance is common in moving functionally graded material (FGM) plates. This phenomenon occurs even with minimal excitation or high damping, impacting FGM plate dynamics.
Area of Science:
- Solid Mechanics
- Materials Science
- Nonlinear Dynamics
Background:
- Functionally Graded Materials (FGM) are advanced composites with spatially varying material properties.
- Internal resonance is a phenomenon where natural frequencies of a system interact, leading to complex dynamic behaviors.
- Axially moving plates are common in engineering applications, and their dynamics are sensitive to various parameters.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the occurrence and characteristics of internal resonance in axially moving functionally graded material (FGM) rectangular plates.
- To analyze the influence of material gradient and geometric nonlinearity on the dynamic behavior of FGM plates.
- To determine the conditions under which internal resonance phenomena manifest in these systems.
Main Methods:
- Derivation of the governing equation for transverse motion using von Kármán nonlinear geometric equations and d'Alembert's principle.
- Discretization of the governing partial differential equation into ordinary differential equations via the Galerkin technique.
- Application of the harmonic balance method to solve the discretized equations and analyze steady-state solutions.
- Conducting a stability analysis of the obtained solutions.
Main Results:
- A widespread one-to-one internal resonance phenomenon was detected in axially moving FGM rectangular plates.
- This resonance occurs across a broad range of constituent volume distributions within the FGM.
- Internal resonance was found to be easily triggered even under very small external excitations or with substantial damping.
- The study identified specific conditions and ranges of material gradation where internal resonance is prevalent.
Conclusions:
- Internal resonance is a significant and pervasive dynamic characteristic of axially moving FGM plates.
- The findings highlight the sensitivity of FGM plate dynamics to material gradients and external conditions.
- Understanding this resonance is crucial for designing stable and reliable FGM structures in dynamic applications.
