Abstract
It's difficult to clarify deformation patterns in chaotic vibration of a beam, because multiple modes are generated simultaneously. This paper describes identification of spatial modes in a chaotic vibration for a buckled beam. KL (Karhunen-Loeve) method was applied to the identification. Using this method, time histories are decomposed into components which have no correlation each other. Contribution of the components to the original time histories can be estimated as eigenvalues of covarriance matrix of the time histories. Moreover, we used the corresponding eigenvectors to identify spatial modes in the chaos. We focused on chaotic motion of the beam involving a dynamic snap-through phenomena. The time histories for the identification were given from numerical analysis. The identified eigenvectors were compared with the natural modes of vibration. As a result, effectiveness of KL method was revealed.
