Abstract
Abstract. A nonlinear two degree-of-freedom model, describing a flexible elastic suspended cable undergoing galloping oscillations, is analyzed. By using a perturbative approach, the critical conditions occuring for different values of the aerodynamic coefficients are described. Two different type of critical conditions, corresponding to simple or double Hopf bifurcations are found. The nonlinear postcritical behavior of single taut strings in 1:1 primary internal resonance is studied through the multiple scale perturbation method. In the double Hopf bifurcation case the influence of the detuning between the critical eigenvalues on the postcritical behavior is illustrated. It is found that quasi-periodic motions, which are likely to occur in the linear field when the two critical frequencies are incommensurable, are really unstable in the nonlinear range. Therefore, the postcritical behavior of the string consists of stable periodic motions for any detuning values.
Sommario. Viene analizzato un modello non lineare a due gradi di libertrappresentativo di un cavo elastico flessibile sospeso alle estremite soggetto ad oscillazioni galoppanti. Utilizzando un approccio perturbativo, vengono descritte le condizioni critiche per differenti valori dei coefficienti aerodinamici. Sono presenti due diversi tipi di condizioni critiche, corrispondenti a biforcazioni di Hopf semplici e doppie. Attraverso il metodo perturbativo delle scale multiple viene studiato il comportamento post-critico non lineare di singole stringhe tese in risonanza interna primaria 1:1. Nel caso di biforcazione doppia di Hopf viene illustrata l'influenza del detuning tra gli autovalori critici sul comportamento post-critico. Si trova che i moti quasi-periodici, presenti in campo lineare quando le due frequenze critiche sono incommensurabili, sono in realtinstabili in campo non lineare. Quindi, il comportamento post-critico della stringa risulta composto da moti periodici stabili per un qualsiasi valore del detuning.
