Abstract

We construct a chain oscillator whose block masses are connected by linear springs and linear dampers and each block is capable of 2D movement. This capability for moving in two directions gives rise to geometric nonlinearity in both the spring and the damping forces. We investigate the behaviour of the planar system for initial conditions resulting in both linear and nonlinear response. The oscillator chain will be subjected to simultaneous forcing of each of its block masses, whose results will be compared for different forcing magnitude and parametrisations of the system. The mean positions of the planar oscillator’s block masses are compared to the velocity fields arising in simple fluid flows in pipes. It is demonstrated that for certain parametrisations of the oscillator, the model can reproduce the velocity profiles of real pipe flows. In particular, the mean position of the masses follows a quadratic profile for forcing similar to the constant pressure gradient which facilitates Poiseuille flows.
