Three to one internal resonances of a pre-deformed rotating beam with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities

The primary resonances of a pre-deformed rotating beam model including the quadratic and cubic nonlinearities are investigated in the presence of the 3:1 internal resonance. The steady state responses of the beam are analyzed in two cases of the primary resonance with the method of multiple scales. The original dynamic equation is integrated numerically in two frequency sweep directions. The theoretical results are consistent with those obtained in the numerical simulation. The contributions of quadratic nonlinearities and cubic nonlinearities to the primary resonances behavior of the rotating beam are clarified. The frequency response curves are discussed by considering different model parameters such as the thermal gradient, the rotating speed, the damping coefficient and the gas pressure. The stability regions of coupled mode solutions are compared between the models with different nonlinearities in the case of the primary resonance of the second mode. A series of interesting findings are presented.
