Abstract

The global modal approach is employed to obtain a set of ordinary differential equations of motion describing the nonlinear dynamics of an L-shaped beam structure in this paper. Firstly, the Lagrangian of nonlinear dynamics for the whole system is formulated. The linear partial differential equations of transverse motion are derived for each beam, along with their boundary and matching conditions. Consequently, the characteristic equation is formulated for the whole system. The natural frequencies and global mode shapes of the system are determined, and orthogonality relations of the global mode shapes are established. Then, the Lagrange's procedure is employed to obtain the nonlinear ODEs of motion for the structure with multiple- DoF. A comparison between the natural frequencies obtained by the proposed method and those from finite element method is given to illustrate the validity of our approach. Through the nonlinear ODEs presented in this article, a study on the variation of dynamic responses for the systems with different number of global modes is performed to give a suggestion of how many modes should be taken for vibration analysis of the structure.
