Nonlinear characteristics of piezoelectric-type micro actuator used for hard disk drives are experimentally analyzed using Hutchinson's Magnum acturator. The nonlinear effects include hysteresis, superharmonic resonance, jump phenomenon, and shifting of natural frequencies. The effects of exciting frequency and input voltage on the nonlinear phenomena are investigated. It is shown that the micro actuator has the typical 3 times superhamonic resonances coupled to both 1st torsional and sway modes of the suspension.

Laminate composites have a number of excellent characteristics in aspects of strength, stiffness, bending, and buckling. Buckling and postbuckling analysis of laminate composites with layups of [90/0]2s, $[{\pm}45/90/0]s$, $[{\pm}45]2s$ has been carried using the Total Lagrangian nonlinear Newton-Raphson method. The formulation of a geometrically nonlinear composite shell element based on a nonlinear large deformation method is presented. The used element is an eight-node degenerated shell element with six degrees of freedom. Square, circular cylinder, and arch panel laminate geometries were analyzed to verify the effects of the layups on the buckling and postbuckling behavior. The results showed that the effects of laminate layups on bucking and postbuckling behavior and the present formulation showed very good agreement with existing references.

The present paper analyses the radiation effects of mass transfer on steady nonlinear MHD boundary layer flow of a viscous incompressible fluid over a nonlinear porous stretching surface in a porous medium in presence of heat generation. The liquid metal is assumed to be gray, emitting, and absorbing but non-scattering medium. Governing nonlinear partial differential equations are transformed to nonlinear ordinary differential equations by utilizing suitable similarity transformation. The resulting nonlinear ordinary differential equations are solved numerically using Runge-Kutta fourth order method along with shooting technique. Comparison with previously published work is obtained and good agreement is found. The effects of various governing parameters on the liquid metal fluid dimensionless velocity, dimensionless temperature, dimensionless concentration, skin-friction coefficient, Nusselt number and Sherwood number are discussed with the aid of graphs.

In this study, nonlinear transverse vibrations of tensioned Euler-Bernoulli nanobeams are studied. The nonlinear equations of motion including stretching of the neutral axis and axial tension are derived using nonlocal beam theory. Forcing and damping effects are included in the equations. Equation of motion is made dimensionless via dimensionless parameters. A perturbation technique, the multiple scale methods is employed for solving the nonlinear problem. Approximate solutions are applied for the equations of motion. Natural frequencies of the nanobeams for the linear problem are found from the first equation of the perturbation series. From nonlinear term of the perturbation series appear as corrections to the linear problem. The effects of the various axial tension parameters and different nonlocal parameters as well as effects of different boundary conditions on the vibrations are determined. Nonlinear frequencies are estimated; amplitude-phase modulation figures are presented for simple-simple and clamped-clamped cases.

In this paper, geometrically nonlinear static analysis of laminated composite beams is investigated under hygrothermal effect. In the solution of problem, the finite element method is used within the first shear beam theory. Total Lagrangian approach is used nonlinear kinematic model. The geometrically nonlinear formulations are developed for the laminated beams with hygro-thermal effects. In the nonlinear solution of the problem, the Newton-Raphson method is used with incremental displacement. In order to verify of obtained formulations, a comparison study is performed. The effects of the fiber orientation angles, the stacking sequence of laminates, temperature rising and moisture changes on the nonlinear static displacements and configurations of the composite laminated beam are investigated in the numerical results.

This paper describes the tribological effects on the nonlinear behavior of a spur gear pair with one-way clutch according to the direct contact elastic deformation model over a wide range of speeds, considering the hydrodynamic effects. The effects of various lubrication parameters, such as viscosity, film width, and friction, on the nonlinear dynamic behavior were analyzed. Forces due to the entraining velocity and the hydrodynamic friction were about two orders smaller than normal forces over the whole speed range. While the viscosity has a strong effect on the behavior of gear pair systems, friction has very little effect on torsional behavior. The inclusion of the hydrodynamic effect facilitates nonlinearity by increasing the overlap and damping, as well as decreasing elastic deformation and tooth reaction forces.

Dome structures of pressure vessels subjected to internal pressure are usually analyzed by linear elastic theory assuming small deformation. Geometric and material nonlinear behaviors appear in actual dome structures because of large deformation and loads exceeding yield strength. In this paper, linear and nonlinear analyses were performed for various hemispherical and torispherical domes to check the effects of geometric and material nonliearity on the stress and displacement by the finite element method. The effect of the geometric nonlinearity decreased the stress levels a lot for very thin general torispherical domes, which enables more realistic and effective design. The material nonlinear effects are negligible for hemispherical and optimum torispherical domes, and those are large for most of the general torispherical domes.

This paper presents a nonlinear soil-structure interaction analysis approach, which can consider precisely characteristics of structures, complicated soil profiles and nonlinear characteristics of soil. Although many methods have been developed to deal with the soil-structure interaction effects in past years, most of them are nearly unpractical since it is difficult to model complicated characteristics of structure and soil precisely. The presented approach overcomes the difficulties by adopting an maligned mesh generation approach and multi-linear model. The applicability of the proposed approach is validated and the effects of complicated characteristics of structure and soil on soil-structure interaction are investigated through the numerical example by the proposed nonlinear soil-structure interaction analysis approach.

In this paper, nonlinear P-delta effects are studied on the seismic performance, and the modal responses of a flexural frame, considering large deformations. Using multiple scales method, the nonlinear differential equations of motion are estimated, and the nonlinear interactions between the frame's degrees of freedom are outcropped. The results of time and frequency domain analyzes of a dynamic model are examined under internal resonance cases, and the linear and nonlinear responses are investigated in each modal cases. Also, changing the modal responses with respect to the amplitude and frequency of the harmonic forces is evaluated. It is shown that the dominant absorption of energy is in the first natural frequency of the frame, in the case of earthquake excitation, and when a harmonic force is applied to the frame, the peaks of the frequency domain responses depending on the frequency of harmonic force are in the first, and second or third natural frequency of the structure.

The aim of this study is to analyze the effects of oil prices on economic growth and exchange rate in Saudi Arabia during the period 1980-2020. For this purpose, the linear and nonlinear ARDL models are estimated. The linear ARDL model shows that the oil price and economic growth are cointegrated. Moreover, the two variables have a significant positive association in the long run. However, the oil price has no significant impact on the exchange rate. When estimating the nonlinear ARDL model, it has been shown that oil price is only cointegrated with economic growth but not with the exchange rate. The estimation of nonlinear effects using the nonlinear ARDL model shows that economic growth is affected by both positive and negative oil shocks in the long run. However, the impact of positive shocks is higher than those of negative shocks. Moreover, results show that the short-run effects of positive and negative oil shocks are not statistically significant. Regarding the exchange rate, our results show that the effects of positive and negative oil shocks are not statistically significant. Consequently, this study concludes that the oil price has an asymmetric effect on economic growth in Saudi Arabia, but not on the exchange rate.
