Abstract

Stick–slip phenomena may manifest at the joints during cyclic vibrations in beam structures connected by some forms of joint. This work incorporates the sticking–slip effect of joint connections into the dynamic analysis framework of multi-beam structures through changes in friction forces. The system characteristic equation is solved using the incremental harmonic balance method, the vibration characteristics of the connected structure are explored through the dynamic response, and the accuracy of the model established in this paper is verified through experiments. The equivalent stiffness and damping changes of a connecting beam under different connection states are investigated for the first time. The research indicates that the “tracking” phenomenon, induced by abrupt damping and resonance frequency variations due to low contact pressure and a low friction coefficient, leads to a relatively stable vibration response amplitude across an extended frequency range. This results in the gradual attenuation of resonance peaks within the frequency response curve, giving rise to a defined resonance frequency range. As connection stiffness diminishes, the system demonstrates characteristics of internal resonance. In addition, the influence characteristics of external excitation and connection joint position on the vibration response of multi-beam structures are also explored. This model provides an effective method for studying the vibration problems of complex beam frame structures.
