Combination Resonances of Traveling Unidirectional Plates Partially Immersed in Fluid With Time-Dependent Axial Velocity and Axially Varying Tension

Abstract

Abstract Nonlinear vibrations of axially moving plates partially immersed in fluid are investigated in this paper. The system has time dependency in velocity and tension in axial direction. The Galerkin method is used to solve the nonlinear vibration differential equation. The method of multiple scales and Runge–Kutta method are applied to solve the nonlinear vibration response of the system. Additionally, the stability conditions of trivial and nontrivial solutions are analyzed using the Routh–Hurwitz criterion. The effects of mean velocity, amplitude of pulsating velocity, mean tension, amplitude of pulsating tension, and pulsating frequency on the complex dynamics of the system are obtained. The study results reveal rich dynamic behaviors of fluid–structure coupling system.
