Abstract

An analytical study of the nonlinear vibrations in a three-time redundant portal frame is presented herewith, considering the effect of the axial forces caused by the static loading upon the first anti-symmetrical mode (sway) and the first symmetrical mode natural frequencies. It is seen that the axial forces may play an important role in tuning the sway mode and the first symmetrical mode into a 1:2 internal resonance. Harmonic support excitations resonant with the first symmetrical mode are then introduced and the amplitudes of nonlinear steady states are computed based upon a multiple scales solution. Comparisons with numerical analyses using a finite-element program developed by the authors show good qualitative agreement.
