Introduction
Generally structural systems are complex, and usually include
a large number of substructures acting as a single unit. Structural
systems with cyclic symmetry are an important class of engineering
applications, which are composed of some identical substructures.
They commonly use in large circular space antennas, bladed disk
assemblies, and magnetic storage devices. The cyclic symmetry of
the structure implies that most of the frequencies for the linear
model appear in pairwise Double-degenerate pairs with distinct
orthonormal normal modes [1].
In the linear case, a majority of double eigenfrequencies,
corresponding to distinct eigenforms reveals in study of the linear
normal modes (LNMs) [1,2]. These eigenforms are associated with
nodal diameter vibration modes. As these LNMs arise from an
eigenvalue problem, there are always as many LNMs as degrees
of freedom (dofs). In the case of nonlinear systems with cyclic
symmetry, it has been shown that the number of nonlinear normal
modes (NNMs) can exceed the number of dofs, the extra NNMs
being generated through bifurcations or internal resonances [3,4].
An example of this feature is localized nonlinear modes; they
correspond to a free motion in which only a few substructures
vibrate with noticeable amplitude and no counterpart can be found
for it in the linear theory [5,6].
As the nonlinearity is common in real-life applications, the
dynamics of nonlinear periodic structures have been examined
in several studies [7,8]. Wei and Pierre examined the effects
of dry friction on a nearly cyclic structure using the Harmonic
Balance Method (HBM) [9]. In a series of papers, Vakakis et al.
[10] demonstrated that, in contrast to the findings of linear theory,
nonlinear mode localization may occur in perfectly cyclic nonlinear
systems [6,10-12]. There are some studies dealing with mode
localization in nonlinear cyclic systems [13-15]. Samaranayake
& Bajaj [1] studied a weakly nonlinear cyclic symmetry structure
with multiple degrees of freedom. The system was consisted
of an identical particles of mass m that arranged in a ring and
interconnected by nonlinear extensional springs. All the masses
were assumed to be hinged to the ground by nonlinear torsional
springs. The asymptotic method of averaging was used to study
the nonlinear interactions between the pairs of modes with nearly
identical natural frequencies when the external excitation is nearly
three times the natural frequency of the modes being excited
[1]. Georgiades et al. [16] examined the nonlinear normal modes
and the bifurcations in cyclic periodic structures. The nonlinear
normal modes were computed using a numerical technique that
combines shooting and pseudo-arclength continuation which can
investigate strongly nonlinear regimes of motion. Their system is a
mathematical model of a bladed-disk assembly. The disk and blades
were modeled by lumped masses which are coupled by linear and
cubic springs.
Sarrouy et al. [17] studied both free and forced vibrations of a
nonlinear cyclic symmetry structure. The model was broken up into
n identical sectors. Each sector was modeled by a thin rectangular
plate, which was clamped to a fixed rigid disk. Consecutive plates
were coupled by a linear stiffness while nonlinearity is introduced
by taking into account their large deflection. Harmonic balance
method was used for solving the nonlinear equations.
Grolt & Thouverez [18] studied the nonlinear dynamics of a
system with cyclic symmetry. The nonlinearity was due to large
displacementofsubstructure(geometrictypenonlinearities)which
was composed of six identical blades (beam). The coupling between
beams was introduced via a linear stiffness running between two
Abstract
In this article free vibration of a nonlinear cyclic symmetry system is examined. The system is composed of six identical beams which are fixed at
the end. The coupling between beams is introduced via a nonlinear stiffness running between two consecutive beams. The equations of motion are as
a system of second order nonlinear differential equations which are coupled by cubic nonlinear terms. To solve the equations of motion, the numerical
methods are used, and the results are compared with those of the harmonic balance method. The effect of nonlinear stiffness on the backbone curves
is examined. The results show that the effect of nonlinear stiffness is increased as the diametrical mode number is increased from 1 to 3, whereas there
is no effect on zero-diameter mode.

consecutive substructures. The modeling leads to a system of
linearly coupled, second-order nonlinear differential equations, in
which nonlinearity appears via cubic terms. The harmonic balance
method was used for solving the differential equations of motion.
The authors were interested in examining the localized nonlinear
modes in the unforced system which arises from branching point
bifurcation at the certain vibration amplitudes. In the forced case,
these nonlinear modes give rise to a complex dynamical behavior.
In this paper, free vibration of a nonlinear cyclic symmetry
system is examined. The system is composed of six identical
beams which are fixed at the end. These beams are coupled to
each other using nonlinear stiffnesses. Also, the influence of the
nonlinear stiffness on the dynamics of the system is investigated.
In the previous studies, the geometrical nonlinearity of the beams
has been considered but the connectors are assumed with linear
stiffness. Nonlinear assumption of the connector stiffness leads to a
nonlinearcouplingbetweenthesecond-orderdifferentialequations
while otherwise there will be a linear coupling present. So, a
numerical method for solving the system of differential equations
is applied. The results of numerical method are compared to
those of the harmonic balance method when the linear stiffness is
introduced, and the accuracy of the numerical solution is validated.
It is shown that the nonlinearity in the stiffness of the connectors
has an important effect on the response of the system.
Modeling
Figure 1(a) represents a structure with cyclic symmetry which
is composed of a fixed disk and six identical blades. The blades are
considered as beams, which are clamped to the disk at one side
and axially restricted on the other side. The beams are connected
to each other by connectors with nonlinear stiffness. The system
is symmetrical; hence, one of the beams can be considered in the
modeling and the other beams would be integrated along with the
nonlinear coupling stiffening elements.

where u, v, M, T, L are displacement in the x-direction,
displacement in the y-direction, bending moment, shear force, and
the length of the beam, respectively.
To derive the equations of motion, one needs to determine
the expressions for strain energy, kinetic energy and work of
external forces on a single beam, in terms of transverse and axial
displacements. Then the geometrical nonlinearity is considered in
the equations of motion by addition of a Von-Karman term in the
relation between displacements u, v, and the strain of the middle

For a system of structures with cyclic symmetry which is
composed of n identical sectors, for 1≤ j ≤ n, vj denotes the
transverse displacement of the j-th beam, Uj and Tj are potential

Solution Method and Verification
When a linear stiffness is used for connecting the consecutive
blades, a system of linearly coupled, second order nonlinear
differential equation can be simplified into a single Duffing equation
for the one blade as the following [18]:

Free response of this equation is obtained by harmonic balance
method and is verified with the exact solution (elliptic function)
which shows the high accuracy of the harmonic balance method in
this problem [18].
In this article, to obtain the frequency response curves the
numerical method is applied to the problem. For verification of the
numerical method, the problem of free response in reference [18]
in zero-diameter mode is considered and the accuracy of numerical
solution is evaluated by the results of harmonic balance method. In
Figure 2 the results of these two methods are compared. As it can
be seen, the numerical solution has the sufficient accuracy.
Figure 2: Verification of numerical method of Runge-Kutta (4,5) with HBM when a linear stiffness is used.
Free response of nonlinear system
It is possible now to study the effect of nonlinear stiffness on
the system. i.e. the system of nonlinear differential equations in Eq.
(21) can be solved accurately by the method of this article because
of the verification of the method in the previous section. Figure
3-5 show the amplitude-frequency relation of the free response of
the system of Eq. (21) in 1, 2 and 3-diameter modes, respectively.
In these figures the effect of the nonlinear stiffness on the system
behavior is clearly demonstrated. As it is expected, this effect is
more significant in the larger displacement. Also, this effect is
different in the variant modes. In Eq. (20) the 5th term and the last
two terms are the new nonlinear terms that are appeared due to
the new nonlinear stiffness. In zero-diameter mode, all components

are eliminated. But in 1, 2 and 3-diameter modes, these terms are
not removed. The 1-diameter mode displayed the most difference
and the 3-diameter mode displayed the least difference between
the systems with linear and nonlinear stiffness which is expected,
because of their mode components in Eq. (29).

Also, the curves are tangent to the straight line that corresponds

[18], i.e. in each mode, the beginning of the nonlinear modal curve
on the horizontal axes, coincides with the linear eigenfrequency of
that mode. As the nonlinearity is dominant in real-life applications,
especially, when large deformation is occurred, this result is very
important for designing of such systems.

using the numerical solution. In Figure 6-8 the frequency-energy
curves of 1 to 3-diameter modes are shown. In each figure
the corresponding curves of linear and nonlinear stiffness are
compared. As it can be seen, in the higher frequency, the energy of
the system with nonlinear stiffness is lower than that of the system
with linear stiffness. It is clearly observed that in all modes, the
corresponding curves of the system with nonlinear stiffness have a
lower energy in the higher frequency, i.e. the nonlinearity is become
significant in the lower frequencies compared to the system with
linear stiffness.

In Figure 9 the frequency-energy curves of 1 to 3-diameter

are depicted. As it can be seen, all curves are tangent to the linear
normal modes. Also, nonlinearity is more significant in 1, 2, 3 and
zero-diametermodes,respectively.Indeed,theeffectofnonlinearity
is of a hardening type.
Conclusion
In this study, the free vibration of a cyclic symmetry system
with geometric nonlinearity as well as nonlinearity in stiffness
of connector springs has been studied. The numerical method is
applied to the system of coupled nonlinear differential equations
with cubic nonlinearity. The results of numerical method are
verified with results of a similar system which was solved by the
harmonic balance method and exact solution (elliptic functions)
in another work. It can be concluded that the effect of nonlinear
stiffness on the system behavior is more significant in 1, 2, and
3-diameter modes, respectively due to their mode components
and the configuration of terms of differential equations, whereas
there is no difference in zero-diameter mode due to nonlinearity
in stiffness. Also, these modes have a lower energy in the higher

Mohammad Saleh Sadooghi* Department of Mechanical Engineering, Iran *Corresponding author: Mohammad Saleh Sadooghi, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Iran Submission: October 10,2018; Published: November 01, 2018 Free Vibration Analysis of a Nonlinear Structure with Cyclic Symmetry Research Article 1/8Copyright © All rights are reserved by Mohammad Saleh Sadooghi. Volume - 1 Issue - 3 Introduction Generally structural systems are complex, and usually include a large number of substructures acting as a single unit. Structural systems with cyclic symmetry are an important class of engineering applications, which are composed of some identical substructures. They commonly use in large circular space antennas, bladed disk assemblies, and magnetic storage devices. The cyclic symmetry of the structure implies that most of the frequencies for the linear model appear in pairwise Double-degenerate pairs with distinct orthonormal normal modes [1]. In the linear case, a majority of double eigenfrequencies, corresponding to distinct eigenforms reveals in study of the linear normal modes (LNMs) [1,2]. These eigenforms are associated with nodal diameter vibration modes. As these LNMs arise from an eigenvalue problem, there are always as many LNMs as degrees of freedom (dofs). In the case of nonlinear systems with cyclic symmetry, it has been shown that the number of nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) can exceed the number of dofs, the extra NNMs being generated through bifurcations or internal resonances [3,4]. An example of this feature is localized nonlinear modes; they correspond to a free motion in which only a few substructures vibrate with noticeable amplitude and no counterpart can be found for it in the linear theory [5,6]. As the nonlinearity is common in real-life applications, the dynamics of nonlinear periodic structures have been examined in several studies [7,8]. Wei and Pierre examined the effects of dry friction on a nearly cyclic structure using the Harmonic Balance Method (HBM) [9]. In a series of papers, Vakakis et al. [10] demonstrated that, in contrast to the findings of linear theory, nonlinear mode localization may occur in perfectly cyclic nonlinear systems [6,10-12]. There are some studies dealing with mode localization in nonlinear cyclic systems [13-15]. Samaranayake & Bajaj [1] studied a weakly nonlinear cyclic symmetry structure with multiple degrees of freedom. The system was consisted of an identical particles of mass m that arranged in a ring and interconnected by nonlinear extensional springs. All the masses were assumed to be hinged to the ground by nonlinear torsional springs. The asymptotic method of averaging was used to study the nonlinear interactions between the pairs of modes with nearly identical natural frequencies when the external excitation is nearly three times the natural frequency of the modes being excited [1]. Georgiades et al. [16] examined the nonlinear normal modes and the bifurcations in cyclic periodic structures. The nonlinear normal modes were computed using a numerical technique that combines shooting and pseudo-arclength continuation which can investigate strongly nonlinear regimes of motion. Their system is a mathematical model of a bladed-disk assembly. The disk and blades were modeled by lumped masses which are coupled by linear and cubic springs. Sarrouy et al. [17] studied both free and forced vibrations of a nonlinear cyclic symmetry structure. The model was broken up into n identical sectors. Each sector was modeled by a thin rectangular plate, which was clamped to a fixed rigid disk. Consecutive plates were coupled by a linear stiffness while nonlinearity is introduced by taking into account their large deflection. Harmonic balance method was used for solving the nonlinear equations. Grolt & Thouverez [18] studied the nonlinear dynamics of a system with cyclic symmetry. The nonlinearity was due to large displacementofsubstructure(geometrictypenonlinearities)which was composed of six identical blades (beam). The coupling between beams was introduced via a linear stiffness running between two Abstract In this article free vibration of a nonlinear cyclic symmetry system is examined. The system is composed of six identical beams which are fixed at the end. The coupling between beams is introduced via a nonlinear stiffness running between two consecutive beams. The equations of motion are as a system of second order nonlinear differential equations which are coupled by cubic nonlinear terms. To solve the equations of motion, the numerical methods are used, and the results are compared with those of the harmonic balance method. The effect of nonlinear stiffness on the backbone curves is examined. The results show that the effect of nonlinear stiffness is increased as the diametrical mode number is increased from 1 to 3, whereas there is no effect on zero-diameter mode.

The modeling leads to a system of linearly coupled, second-order nonlinear differential equations, in which nonlinearity appears via cubic terms. The harmonic balance method was used for solving the differential equations of motion. The authors were interested in examining the localized nonlinear modes in the unforced system which arises from branching point bifurcation at the certain vibration amplitudes. In the forced case, these nonlinear modes give rise to a complex dynamical behavior. In this paper, free vibration of a nonlinear cyclic symmetry system is examined. The system is composed of six identical beams which are fixed at the end. These beams are coupled to each other using nonlinear stiffnesses. Also, the influence of the nonlinear stiffness on the dynamics of the system is investigated. In the previous studies, the geometrical nonlinearity of the beams has been considered but the connectors are assumed with linear stiffness. Nonlinear assumption of the connector stiffness leads to a nonlinearcouplingbetweenthesecond-orderdifferentialequations while otherwise there will be a linear coupling present. So, a numerical method for solving the system of differential equations is applied. The results of numerical method are compared to those of the harmonic balance method when the linear stiffness is introduced, and the accuracy of the numerical solution is validated. It is shown that the nonlinearity in the stiffness of the connectors has an important effect on the response of the system. Modeling Figure 1(a) represents a structure with cyclic symmetry which is composed of a fixed disk and six identical blades. The blades are considered as beams, which are clamped to the disk at one side and axially restricted on the other side. The beams are connected to each other by connectors with nonlinear stiffness. The system is symmetrical; hence, one of the beams can be considered in the modeling and the other beams would be integrated along with the nonlinear coupling stiffening elements. Figure 1(a): The schematic of the system with cyclic symmetry. Figure 1(b): A beam with boundary conditions. In Figure 1(b), one of the beams is shown. The boundary conditions of the beam are as: ( ) ( ) ( ) ( )0, , 0 0 0, v u y u L y v x ∂ = = = = ∂ (1) M(L)=T(L)=0, (2) where u, v, M, T, L are displacement in the x-direction, displacement in the y-direction, bending moment, shear force, and the length of the beam, respectively. To derive the equations of motion, one needs to determine the expressions for strain energy, kinetic energy and work of external forces on a single beam, in terms of transverse and axial displacements. Then the geometrical nonlinearity is considered in the equations of motion by addition of a Von-Karman term in the relation between displacements u, v, and the strain of the middle line, ε, as: 2 1 , 2 u v x x ε ∂ ∂  = +   ∂ ∂  (3) The total strain is: .zykε ε= − (4) where 2 2z v k x ∂ = ∂ represents the change of curvature. The elastic strain energy of the beam is: 0 1 , 2 L A U dA dxσε   =     ∫ ∫  (5) where σ is the Kirchhoff stress and it is related to the Green strain with the relation of Eσ ε=  which is the standard Hook’s low (E is the Young’s modulus). By substituting the Hook’s low in Eq.

Using equations (3) and (8), and neglecting the effect of the inertia term, the Eq. (8) is simplified to the following equation: 0 ,a af f cte x ∂ = ⇒ = ∂ (9) Integrating fa from 0 to L and Using Eq.

So, the total potential and kinetic energies of the system are: 1 0 , n n j j j j U U T T = = = =∑ ∑ (14) In the present system, the connections between beams are modeled using a set of nonlinear springs. The springs are set at points xr =L/4 on all beams. The relationship between force and displacement of the nonlinear spring is: 3 1 1 . 4 4 4 4 j j j j nl L L L L f k v v k v v+ +           = − + −                      (15) Due to cyclic symmetry of the system, when j is equal to n, it can be written: j+1=1, The potential energy due to spring which is located between beams j and j+1 is expressed as: 2 4 1 11 1 . 2 4 4 4 4 4 j j j j j nl L L L L V k v v k v v+ +           = − + −                      (16) Also, the total potential energy V of all of springs is: 1 . n j j V V = = ∑ (17) Equations of motion The Assumed-mode method is used for discretization of the model. The transverse displacements (vj) are interpolated using the following expression: ( ) ( ) ( ) 0 , , , N j j i i i V x y t t x yλ = = Φ∑ (18) where they are kinematically admissible functions, the participation of these functions in the displacement vj, and N the number of functions selected for the interpolation step. Using this method, the transformation is made from a continuous problem to a discrete one with dimension nN where the unknowns are the variables ( )1 ,1 j i i N j n λ ≤ ≤ ≤ ≤ .

The single function selected for this interpolation step would be 2 Ö x L   =     , which verifies the kinematic boundary conditions given in Eq. (1). Applying Lagrange’s equations (Eq.

(21), the equation for free undamped linear system would be as: [ ] [ ] ¨ 0M Y K Y+ =(25) To obtain the mode shapes, the following equation should be solved: [K]Φ=ω2 [M]Φ (26) The eigenvalues are given by the relation below [1]: ω2 p =α+2c(1-cos(θp )) with 2 p p n π θ = (27) where p is the diametrical mode number, such that 0 ≤ p ≤ (n- 1)/2 if n is an odd number, and 0 ≤ p ≤ n/2 if n is an even number. The linear mode shapes are given by: Φ0 =[1,1,1,1,1,1]T Φp c =[cos(θp ),cos(2θp ), …, cos(nθp )]T Φp s =[sin(θp ),sin(2θp ), …, sin(nθp )]T (28) So, the frequencies and corresponding mode shapes are as follows: 0 93.6278ω α= = [ ]0 1,1,1,1,1,1 T Φ = [ ]1 1,1,0, 1, 1,0 Tc Φ= − − 1 94.4168cω α= + = 2 3 95.9753cω α= + = 1 T s 1 1 1 1 1, , , 1, , 2 2 2 2   Φ= − − −   [ ]2 1, 1,0,1, 1,0 Tc Φ = − − 2 T s 1 1 1 1 1, , ,1, , 2 2 2 2   Φ = − − − −   4 96.7451 3 cω α= + = [ ]3 1, 1,1, 1,1, 1 T Φ = − − − (29) In this study, the mode shapes which contains just 0, 1, -1 components are studied.

In this article, to obtain the frequency response curves the numerical method is applied to the problem. For verification of the numerical method, the problem of free response in reference [18] in zero-diameter mode is considered and the accuracy of numerical solution is evaluated by the results of harmonic balance method. In Figure 2 the results of these two methods are compared. As it can be seen, the numerical solution has the sufficient accuracy. Figure 2: Verification of numerical method of Runge-Kutta (4,5) with HBM when a linear stiffness is used. Free response of nonlinear system It is possible now to study the effect of nonlinear stiffness on the system. i.e. the system of nonlinear differential equations in Eq. (21) can be solved accurately by the method of this article because of the verification of the method in the previous section. Figure 3-5 show the amplitude-frequency relation of the free response of the system of Eq. (21) in 1, 2 and 3-diameter modes, respectively. In these figures the effect of the nonlinear stiffness on the system behavior is clearly demonstrated. As it is expected, this effect is more significant in the larger displacement. Also, this effect is different in the variant modes. In Eq. (20) the 5th term and the last two terms are the new nonlinear terms that are appeared due to the new nonlinear stiffness. In zero-diameter mode, all components

But in 1, 2 and 3-diameter modes, these terms are not removed. The 1-diameter mode displayed the most difference and the 3-diameter mode displayed the least difference between the systems with linear and nonlinear stiffness which is expected, because of their mode components in Eq.

As the nonlinearity is dominant in real-life applications, especially, when large deformation is occurred, this result is very important for designing of such systems. The frequency-energy consideration The energy of the system is as [16]: 2 ( ) n n E Y A= ∑ where An are vectors of dimension six, which can be obtained using the numerical solution. In Figure 6-8 the frequency-energy curves of 1 to 3-diameter modes are shown. In each figure the corresponding curves of linear and nonlinear stiffness are compared. As it can be seen, in the higher frequency, the energy of the system with nonlinear stiffness is lower than that of the system with linear stiffness. It is clearly observed that in all modes, the corresponding curves of the system with nonlinear stiffness have a lower energy in the higher frequency, i.e. the nonlinearity is become significant in the lower frequencies compared to the system with linear stiffness.

In Figure 9 the frequency-energy curves of 1 to 3-diameter modes of the system with nonlinear stiffness and the corresponding curve of zero-diameter mode in the system with linear stiffness are depicted. As it can be seen, all curves are tangent to the linear normal modes. Also, nonlinearity is more significant in 1, 2, 3 and zero-diametermodes,respectively.Indeed,theeffectofnonlinearity is of a hardening type. Conclusion In this study, the free vibration of a cyclic symmetry system with geometric nonlinearity as well as nonlinearity in stiffness of connector springs has been studied. The numerical method is applied to the system of coupled nonlinear differential equations with cubic nonlinearity. The results of numerical method are verified with results of a similar system which was solved by the harmonic balance method and exact solution (elliptic functions) in another work. It can be concluded that the effect of nonlinear stiffness on the system behavior is more significant in 1, 2, and 3-diameter modes, respectively due to their mode components and the configuration of terms of differential equations, whereas there is no difference in zero-diameter mode due to nonlinearity in stiffness. Also, these modes have a lower energy in the higher
