SummaryThe linear, second-order, ordinary differential equations governing the free-vibration characteristics, in vacuo, of discretised systems executing, at equilibrium, steady rotational motion about a fixed point may be expressed in the well-known matrix-vector form involving real symmetric and skew-symmetric coefficient matrices. Less well known is the fact that the corresponding Hamiltonian first-order system may be cast into a special form involving a skew-symmetric system matrix. In this paper the computational merits of this special form are exploited in the calculation of the natural frequencies and modes of the rotating system.

Abstract This study is concerned with the “Free Vibrations of Composite Shallow Circular Cylindrical Shells or Shell Panels with a Central Stiffening Shell Strip”. The upper and lower shell elements of the stiffened composite system are considered as dissimilar, orthotropic shallow shells. The upper relatively narrow stiffening shell strip is centrally located and adhesively bonded to the lower main shell element In the theoretical formulation, a “First Order Shear Deformation Shell Theory (FSDST)” is employed. The complete set of the shallow shell dynamic equations (including the stress resultant-displacement and the constitutive equations) and the equations of the thin flexible, adhesive layer are first reduced to a set of first order system of ordinary differential equations. This final set forms the governing equations of the problem. Then, they are integrated by means of the “Modified Transfer Matrix Method”. In the adhesive layer, the “hard” and the “soft” adhesive effects are considered. It was found that the material characteristics of the adhesive layer influence the mode shapes and the corresponding natural frequencies of the composite shallow shell panel system. Additionally, some parametric studies on the natural frequencies are presented.

In the design of geared rotating systems in engineering practice a variety of configurations are used, and their torsional vibration has been extensively studied. Detailed analyses of the modes and frequencies of vibration of these systems have been given by Ker Wilson and Nestorides. When the rotating system is rigidly supported, standard methods may be used to obtain the characteristics of free vibration and the response to impressed forces, from which the transmissibility of the gear-box may be calculated. However, there are many applications in which the gearbox is flexibly mounted. The simple example of a geared engine with a flexibly mounted crankcase has been considered by Den Hartog and Butterfield. In some epicyclic gear-box assemblies, elastic elements are introduced between the reactive element and the gear-case to increase the capacity for absorbing impulsive loads and as a means of varying the natural frequencies of vibration'. Harmonic forces acting on the rotors excite coupled vibration of the rotating system and the supporting frame, and Ker Wilson has shown how the natural frequencies and modes of the combined system may be determined by Holzer-type tabular methods. This involves a trial-and-error technique which may sometimes be tedious. Vibration of geared systems may also be excited by the motion of the frame supporting the gear-box, and an analysis of the response is necessary in the determination of dynamic loads.

SynopsisThe following results are obtained for symmetric differential expressions of arbitrary order r ≧ 1 with matrix coefficients on the half-line, with a non-negative (and possibly identically degenerate) weight matrix W(t), and with a spectral parameter λ: upper and lower bounds for the deficiency indices N(λ) are found; it is proved that N(λ) is independent of λ for Im λ< 0and for Im λ>0; under very general conditions it is proved that the maximum possible values of the deficiency indices in the half-planesIm λ≷0 can only be attained simultaneously; sufficient conditions for first-order expressions to be quasi-regular are derived; and it isshown that a symmetric system of any order reduces to a canonical, first-order system.Examples are constructed, and the case of the whole line is also touched on.

Rotating systems components such as rotors, have dynamic characteristics that are of great importance to understand because they may cause failure of turbomachinery. Therefore, it is required to study a dynamic model to predict some vibration characteristics, in this case, the natural frequencies and mode shapes (both of free vibration) of a centrifugal compressor shaft. The peculiarity of the dynamic model proposed is that using frequency and displacements values obtained experimentally, it is possible to calculate the mass and stiffness distribution of the shaft, and then use these values to estimate the theoretical modal parameters. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the shaft were obtained with experimental modal analysis by using the impact test. The results predicted by the model are in good agreement with the experimental test. The model is also flexible with other geometries and has a great time and computing performance, which can be evaluated with respect to other commercial software in the future.

Abstract Some structural properties as well as a general three-dimensional boundary value problem for normally hyperbolic systems of partial differential equations of first order are studied. A condition is given which enables one to reduce the system under consideration to a first-order system with the spliced principal part. It is shown that the initial problem is correct in a certain class of functions if some conditions are fulfilled.

Abstract A second-order diffusion scheme is developed for the discontinuous Galerkin (DG) global shallow-water model. The shallow-water equations are discretized on the cubed sphere tiled with quadrilateral elements relying on a nonorthogonal curvilinear coordinate system. In the viscous shallow-water model the diffusion terms (viscous fluxes) are approximated with two different approaches: 1) the element-wise localized discretization without considering the interelement contributions and 2) the discretization based on the local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method. In the LDG formulation the advection–diffusion equation is solved as a first-order system. All of the curvature terms resulting from the cubed-sphere geometry are incorporated into the first-order system. The effectiveness of each diffusion scheme is studied using the standard shallow-water test cases. The approach of element-wise localized discretization of the diffusion term is easy to implement but found to be less effective, and with relatively high diffusion coefficients, it can adversely affect the solution. The shallow-water tests show that the LDG scheme converges monotonically and that the rate of convergence is dependent on the coefficient of diffusion. Also the LDG scheme successfully eliminates small-scale noise, and the simulated results are smooth and comparable to the reference solution.
