Post-critical multi-modal vibration of a continuous inverse pendulum type system
Náprstek, Jiří ; Fischer, Cyril
Auto-parametric effects are processes endangering structures during a seismic attack. Tall structures exposed to a strong vertical component of an earthquake excitation nearby the epicenter can collapse due to auto-parametric resonance effect. Vertical and horizontal response components being independent in the linear regime get into a complex interaction due to non-linear terms in post-critical regime. Two generally different types of the post-critical regimes are presented: (i) post-critical state with possible recovery; (ii) exponentially rising horizontal response leading to a collapse. A special attention is paid to processes of transition from semi-trivial to post-critical state in case of time limited excitation period as it concerns the seismic processes. Solution method combining analytical and numerical approaches is developed and used. Its applicability and shortcomings are commented. A few hints for engineering applications are given.

Fischer, Cyril ; Náprstek, Jiří
The pendulum damper modelled as a two degree of freedom strongly non-linear auto-parametric system is investigated using two approximate differential systems. Uni-directional harmonic external excitation at the suspension point is considered. Semi-trivial solutions and their stability are analyzed. The thorough analysis of the non-linear system using less simplification than it is used in the previous paper is performed. Both approaches are compared and conclusions are drawn.
