In this paper, a wavelet-based method is developed for wave-propagation analysis of a generic multi-coupled one-dimensional periodic structure (PS). The formulation is based on the periodicity condition and uses the dynamic stiffness matrix of the periodic cell obtained from finite-element (FE) or other numerical methods. Here, unlike its conventional definition, the dynamic stiffness matrix is obtained in the wavelet domain through a Daubechies wavelet transform. The proposed numerical scheme enables both time- and frequency-domain analysis of PSs under arbitrary loading conditions. This is in contrast to the existing Fourier-transform-based analysis that is restricted to frequency-domain study. Here, the dispersion characteristics of PSs, especially the band-gap features, are studied. In addition, the method is implemented to simulate time-domain wave response under impulse loading conditions. The two examples considered are periodically simply supported beam and periodic frame structures. In all cases, the responses obtained using the present periodic formulation are compared with the response simulated using the FE model without the periodicity assumption, and they show an exact match. This validates the accuracy of the periodic assumption to obtain the time- and frequency-domain wave responses up to a high-frequency range. Apart from this, the proposed method drastically reduces the computational cost and can be implemented for homogenization of PSs.

Bladed Disk Assembly

The problem of calculating the natural frequencies of a practical rotating bladed disk assembly is solved by use of a new dynamic substructuring method employing the free modes of the disk and the clamped-free modes of the blade. The bladed disk may have lacing-wires at any radius. The lacing-wire, or any other general elastic connection element, is assumed to extend around the whole circumference. Hence, the assembly fulfills the requirements for a circumferentially periodic structure. Centrifugal effects are included. The free modes of the disk are used to describe the dynamics of the disk by a 4 × 4 receptance matrix. The row of blades is described by a dynamic stiffness matrix of order 4 + 10l, where l is the number of lacing-wires. The dynamic stiffness matrix of the blading is formed directly from the modes of one single clamped-free blade without any lacing-wire. The lacing-wires are treated as elastic and massless. The zeroes of the resulting transcendental frequency determinant of order 4 + 10l are solved by the sign-count method. The calculation procedure has proved to be very efficient. Further, it enjoys the precious property of being automatic and infallible in the sense that there is no risk of missing any frequency whatever the spacing of natural frequencies. Experimentally found frequencies are compared to calculated ones.

Floor Vibrations

Buildings may experience excessive floor vibrations due to inner excitations such as walking people and running machines, or ground motion caused by the road traffic. Therefore, it is often necessary to evaluate the vibration level at the design stage. In this paper, a frequency domain-based model for predicting vertical vibrations of a building floor is provided, where the floor is simplified as a rectangular plate stiffened by beams in two orthogonal directions, while vertical motion and rotation of the slab–column joints are viewed as the unknown degrees of freedom. The dynamic stiffness matrix of the whole structure is obtained from those of the floor and column elements. To validate the proposed solution, a five-story building was analyzed, and frequency spectra were compared with those from the finite element method. Besides, a prototype building was analyzed and validated based on field measured data. It is found that the proposed solution could predict vibration responses with satisfactory accuracy, and is more computationally efficient than finite element analysis.

AbstractAn accurate frequency domain model is proposed to analyze the seismic response of uniform vertical cylinders with arbitrary cross section surrounded by water. According to the boundary conditions and using the variables separation method, the vertical modes of the hydrodynamic pressure are firstly obtained. Secondly, the three-dimensional wave equation can be simplified to a two-dimensional Helmholtz equation. Introducing the scaled boundary coordinate, a scaled boundary finite element (SBFE) equation which is a linear non-homogeneous second-order ordinary equation is derived by weighted residual method. The dynamic-stiffness matrix equation for the problem is furtherly derived. The continued fraction is acted as the solution of the dynamic-stiffness matrix for cylinder dynamic interaction of cylinder with infinite water. The coefficient matrices of the continued fraction are derived recursively from the SBFE equation of dynamic-stiffness. The accuracy of the present method is verified by comparing the hydrodynamic force on circular, elliptical and rectangle cylinders with the analytical or numerical solutions. Finally, the proposed model is used to analyze the natural frequency and seismic response of cylinders.

This paper presents the formulation of dynamic stiffness matrix for the natural vibration analysis of porous power-law functionally graded Levy-type plate. In the process of formulating the dynamic stiffness matrix, Kirchhoff-Love plate theory in tandem with the notion of neutral surface has been taken on board. The developed dynamic stiffness matrix, a transcendental function of frequency, has been solved through the Wittrick–Williams algorithm. Hamilton’s principle is used to obtain the equation of motion and associated natural boundary conditions of porous power-law functionally graded plate. The variation across the thickness of the functionally graded plate’s material properties follows the power-law function. During the fabrication process, the microvoids and pores develop in functionally graded material plates. Three types of porosity distributions are considered in this article: even, uneven, and logarithmic. The eigenvalues computed by the dynamic stiffness matrix using Wittrick–Williams algorithm for isotropic, power-law functionally graded, and porous power-law functionally graded plate are juxtaposed with previously referred results, and good agreement is found. The significance of various parameters of plate vis-à-vis aspect ratio ( L/b), boundary conditions, volume fraction index ( p), porosity parameter ( e), and porosity distribution on the eigenvalues of the porous power-law functionally graded plate is examined. The effect of material density ratio and Young’s modulus ratio on the natural vibration of porous power-law functionally graded plate is also explained in this article. The results also prove that the method provided in the present work is highly accurate and computationally efficient and could be confidently used as a reference for further study of porous functionally graded material plate.

Abstract An analytical investigation of the steady-state unbalance response of axisymmetric rotor systems with anisotropic, flexible and damped bearings is presented. According to the exact approach of the dynamic stiffness method, the rotor is modelled by means of continuous beam elements. In this work, the expression of the 8 × 8 dynamic stiffness matrix of a rotating Timoshenko beam is derived and it is shown that it is related, by means of a simple law, to the previously published 4 × 4 dynamic stiffness matrix, which holds for the isotropic bearings case. The effects of concentrated disks and bearings are included into the formulation; in particular, each bearing is described by eight constant coefficients, according to the well-known linearized model of the bearing forces. The unbalance response of a typical rotor system taken from the literature is analyzed. A comparison is presented with the finite element results reported by other authors.

The effects of spindles vibrational behavior on the stability lobes and the Chatter behavior of machine tools have been established. The service life has been observed to reducethe system natural frequencies. An analytical model of a multi-segment spinning spindle, based on the Dynamic Stiffness Matrix (DSM) formulation, exact within the limits of the Euler-Bernoulli beam bending theory, is developed. The system exhibits coupled Bending-Bending (B-B) vibration and its natural frequencies are found to decrease with increasing spinning speed. The bearings were included in the model usingboth rigid, simply supported, frictionless pins and flexible linear spring elements. The linear spring element stiffness is then calibrated so that the fundamental frequency of the system matches the nominal value.

Arterial Blood

Research on wave propagation in liquid filled vessels is often motivated by the need to understand arterial blood flows. Theoretical and experimental investigation of the propagation of waves in flexible tubes has been studied by many researchers. The analytical one-dimensional frequency domain wave theory has a great advantage of providing accurate results without the additional computational cost related to the modern time domain simulation models. For assessing the validity of analytical and numerical models, well defined in vitro experiments are of great importance. The objective of this paper is to present a frequency domain analytical model based on the one-dimensional wave propagation theory and validate it against experimental data obtained for aortic analogs. The elastic and viscoelastic properties of the wall are included in the analytical model. The pressure, volumetric flow rate, and wall distention obtained from the analytical model are compared with experimental data in two straight tubes with aortic relevance. The analytical results and the experimental measurements were found to be in good agreement when the viscoelastic properties of the wall are taken into account.
