Nonlinear combination resonance analysis of parametric-forced excitation for an axially moving piezoelectric rectangular thin plate in thermal- electromechanical coupling field

Abstract

In this paper, the combination resonance of parametric-forced excitation characteristics for an axially moving rectangular piezoelectric plate under a thermal-electromechanical field is studied. Based on Kirchhoff-Love plate theory and Von Karman theory, the transverse vibration governing equations are derived from Hamilton's principle. The equations are discretized to ordinary differential equations by the Galerkin method. Then, the multiple scales method is applied to solve the system combination resonance equation, two different resonance states and corresponding amplitude-frequency response equations are obtained by eliminating the secular term, respectively. Additionally, the stability of the steady-state responses is analyzed by Lyapunov stability. Based on the numerical analysis, the influence of axial velocity, external voltage, central temperature difference, structural damping, and other parameters on nonlinear combination resonance response are investigated. The effect of parameter variation on period-doubling bifurcation and the chaotic motion of the system are also discussed by the system global bifurcation diagram.
