Abstract

The determination of periodic solutions is an essential step in the study of dynamic systems. If some of the generalized coordinates describing the configuration of a system are angular positions relative to certain reference axes, the associated periodic motions divide into two types: oscillatory and rotary periodic motions. For an oscillatory periodic motion, all the generalized coordinates are periodic in time. On the other hand, for a rotary periodic motion, some angular coordinates may have unbounded magnitude due to the persistent circulation about their pivots. In this case, although the behaviour of the system is periodic physically, those angular coordinates are not periodic in time. Although various effective methods have been developed for the determination of oscillatory periodic motion, the rotary periodic motion can only be determined by brute force integration. In this paper, the incremental harmonic balance (IHB) method is modified so that rotary periodic motions can be determined as well as oscillatory periodic motions in a unified formulation. This modified IHB method is applied to a practical device, a rotating disk equipped with a ball-type balancer, to show its effectiveness.
