The Vibrations of the Engine with Neo-Hookean Suspension

Article Preview

Abstract:

Our paper realizes a study of the vibrations of an engine excited by a harmonic force and sustained by four identical neo-Hookean springs of negligible masses. The considered model is one with three degrees of freedom (one translation and two rotations) and we obtain for it the equations of motion. Using these equations, we determine for the unexcited system the equilibrium positions and their stability. We also study the small oscillations about the stable equilibrium positions and we find the fundamental eigenpulsations of the system. For the case of the excited system we perform a numerical study considering the situation when the pulsation of the excitation is far away from the eigenpulsations and the situation when the pulsation of the excitation is closed to one eigenpulsation, highlighting the beat phenomenon.
