Analysis of Nonlinear Magnetoelastic Dynamics and Stability of Conductive Cylindrical Shells

The nonlinear magnetoelastic vibration equations and electromagnetic field equations of a conductive thin cylindrical shell in magnetic fields are derived. The nonlinear principal resonances and dynamic stabilities of the cylindrical shell simply supported in a transverse magnetic field are investigated. Approximate analytical solution and bifurcation equations of the system with principal resonances are obtained by using the method of multiple scales. The stabilities and singularities of the steady-state solutions are analyzed and the stability criterion is given. The transition sets and bifurcation figures of unfolding parameters are also obtained. The variations of the resonance amplitudes with respect to the detuning parameter, the magnetic induction intensity, and the amplitude of excitations are presented. The corresponding phase trajectories in moving phase planes are given. The stabilities of solutions, characteristics of singular points, and bifurcation are analyzed. The impacts of electromagnetic and mechanical parameters on dynamic behaviors are discussed in detail.
