The analysis was based on deriving the equations of motion by the application of Hamilton's principle, such that all the strain energy function were retained in the derived equation. The simplification of the coupled equations, in terms of the transverse deflection, resulted in the obtaining of a Duffing equation under parametric and external excitations simultaneously. Under the constant speed close to 0.5 and 1 the combined effects of parametric and external excitations dominated the response, and away from the two speed ranges external excitation alone held the dominance.application/pdf144333 bytesapplication/pdfen-USApproximation theory; Bending (deformation); Bifurcation (mathematics); Boundary conditions; Computer simulation; Crankshafts; Deflection (structures); Dynamic response; Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions; Equations of motion; Flexible structures; Matrix algebra; Nonlinear systems; Rotation; Strain; Displacement gradients; Nondimensionalization; Strain energy functions; Connecting rodsjournal article2-s2.0-1042304439http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/85565/1/18.pdf
