This study investigates the effects of freeplay, multi-segmented, and impact nonlinearities in the pitch and control surface degrees of freedom on the nonlinear responses of a three-degree of freedom aeroelastic system. The results show the presence of grazing/sliding bifurcations and complex responses due to nonlinear coupling of the system's frequencies, including sudden transitions between harmonic and chaotic responses.
The effects of freeplay, multi-segmented, and impact nonlinearities in the pitch and control surface degrees of freedom on the nonlinear responses of a three-degree of freedom aeroelastic system are investigated to characterize the nonlinear behavior and possible bifurcations. The system consists of a plunging and pitching rigid airfoil supported by a linear spring in the plunge degree of freedom, a nonlinear torsional spring in the pitch degree of freedom, and a control surface with a nonlinear spring in the trailing edge. The unsteady representation based on the Duhamel formulation is used to model the aerodynamic loads. Nonlinear characterization is performed to identify the system's response, under different representations of the nonlinear springs, below the linear flutter speed. The results show that grazing/sliding bifurcations are present and nonlinear coupling of the system's frequencies lead to complex responses including sudden transitions between harmonic and chaotic responses as the freestream velocity is increased. These responses, which include the sudden amplitude jumps, generation of higher harmonics and broadband oscillatory behavior, could result in catastrophic structural failures of aeroelastic systems even when operating below the linear flutter speed.

Two-dimensional turbulent thermal classical far wake
E. Mubai, D. P. Mason
Summary: The two-dimensional turbulent thermal classical far wake is investigated in this study. The turbulence is described using the Boussinesq hypothesis for Reynolds stresses and Prandtl's mixing length model for eddy viscosity and eddy thermal conductivity. Two conservation laws are derived for the thermal boundary layer equations using the multiplier method, and two conserved quantities are obtained from the conserved vectors and boundary conditions. Lie point symmetry associated with the momentum and thermal conserved vectors is derived, showing that the momentum and thermal mixing lengths are proportional. An invariant solution is obtained numerically using a shooting method, and analytically when v = 0, kappa = 0.

Deformations of the Varga material II: Plane stress
Daniel J. Arrigo, Travis C. Chism
Summary: This paper investigates the governing equations for plane stress deformations of isotropic incompressible hyperelastic materials. The authors previously discovered a linearization method for the plane strain case of the Varga material, and in this paper, they further demonstrate that the governing equations for the plane stress case can also be linearized.

Conditions for the decay of a wave into a system of waves in a viscoelastic medium with a negative nonlinearity parameter
A. P. Chugainova, R. R. Polekhina
Summary: This article numerically investigates the conditions for the decay of a nonlinear wave into a system of waves traveling at different velocities in a viscoelastic weakly anisotropic medium. Solutions of a hyperbolic system of equations are studied in the region of nonuniqueness of parameters, where a solution to the Riemann problem can be constructed with both a single wave and a system of waves corresponding to the same initial data.

Yu. N. Grigoriev, E. I. Kaptsov, S. V. Meleshko
Summary: This paper studies the mathematical properties of gasdynamics equations with thermochemical nonequilibrium and provides solutions for two different models.

Stochastic flutter analysis of a three-degree-of-freedom airfoil under vertical turbulence disturbance
Y. Hao, X. Y. Guo, Y. B. Fu
Summary: This paper investigates the nonlinear stochastic dynamic response of a three-degree-of-freedom(3-DOF) airfoil with high substructural nonlinearity under vertical turbulent disturbances. The effects of parameters such as the incoming velocity, turbulence scale and intensity on the stochastic dynamics behavior of the system are clarified.

Reduced-order model of geometrically nonlinear flexible structures for fluid-structure interaction applications
T. Flament, J. -F. Deu, A. Placzek, M. Balmaseda, D. -M. Tran
Summary: This paper focuses on the numerical computation of vibrations in geometrically nonlinear structures induced by aeroelastic coupling with fluid flow using reduced order models (ROM). The proposed ROM formulation utilizes projection on a basis of reduced dimension enhanced with dual modes, allowing for the accurate capture of dynamic characteristics and adaptation to unsteady aerodynamic loads. The limitations of the classical Implicit Condensation method are highlighted, while the ROM proposed overcomes these limitations and accurately captures the dynamics.

Non-linear slosh dynamics of sloped wall tank with bottom-mounted object under seismic excitation
Sidhartha Sankar Roy, Kishore Chandra Biswal
Summary: This study investigates the non-linear slosh dynamics of a sloped wall tank with a bottom-mounted object under seismic excitation. The potential flow theory is used to model the liquid domain using a mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian method. The study successfully quantifies the non-linear seismic response of the tank and the influence of the internal object on the hydrodynamic behavior. A parametric investigation is conducted by altering the object's height. Comparison with linear analysis justifies the necessity of non-linear analysis. The developed non-linear finite element model is found to be more effective and can be used in designing structure-coupled sloped wall TLDs.

Double-diffusive convection in a porous layer subjected to an inclined temperature gradient incorporating Soret effect
Kapil Dev, Om P. Suthar
Summary: This study presents stability analyses of thermosolutal convection in a Newtonian fluid-saturated Darcy porous layer under non-uniform inclined heating, considering the presence of the Soret effect. The results reveal the destabilizing effect of the solutal Darcy-Rayleigh number and Lewis number on the system's stability, while the Soret parameter has a non-monotonic effect depending on the horizontal Rayleigh number.

Variation in the nonlinear stiffness of bolted joints due to tangential hysteresis behavior
Longfei Tan, Wei Zhang, Zixun Wang, Bowen Hou, Wei Sun
Summary: This study investigates the factors influencing the stiffness variation characteristics of a bolted joint during service, including macro deviation, micro-topography, and hysteresis characteristics. Through experiments and finite element modeling analysis, it is found that macro deviations and micro-topography on the bearing surface can cause irregular dynamic changes in the stiffness of the bolted joint, significantly affecting the dynamic/static response of the entire structure.

Development and analysis of magnet-engaged piezoelectric energy generator under friction-induced vibration
Yu Xiao, Ze-Qi Lu, Nan Wu
Summary: This study investigates the characteristics of a magnet-engaged nonlinear piezoelectric energy generator stimulated by friction-induced vibration (FIV) in two distinct design configurations (in parallel and in-series). The results indicate that factors such as decay factor, dynamic friction coefficient, static friction coefficient, and normal force have an effect on the stability of the system and the generation of FIV. The in-parallel systems exhibit a higher charging power within the same operating range, while the in-series systems are more likely to excite FIV with a wider operating range.
