A novel method for shifting the natural frequencies of a structure to specific values using structural patches is introduced. When a host structure is bonded with multiple structural patches, its natural frequencies can be shifted to the desired values by tuning the patch thickness and the patch location on the host structure. These parameters can be analytically determined using the methodology proposed in this paper. The time consuming process produced using the traditional optimal search method is thereby avoided. The results show that multiple natural frequencies can be changed simultaneously to the desired values. The number of natural frequencies shifted requires using the same number of structural patch pairs. Several examples using this technique are demonstrated and the results are experimentally validated.

In this paper, a design method to modify the vibration characteristics of a beam by creating cylindrical dimples on its surface is investigated. In particular, the vibration response of a beam with several dimples is formulated using the impedance method. The dimpled beam is divided into two kinds of structural segments: one, a curved beam that is modeled as the dimple and the other, a straight beam. The frequency equation is derived by assembling the impedance of each structure segment based on conditions of force equilibrium and velocity compatibility. Then a novel method for shifting the natural frequencies of a beam to preassigned values by creating cylindrical dimples on this structure is introduced. The dimple size and its location on the structure can be determined analytically, so the time consuming process using the traditional optimal search method is thereby avoided. Several examples using this technique are demonstrated.

AbstractRecently, basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) is acknowledged as an outstanding material for the strengthening of existing concrete structure, especially it was being used in marine vehicles, aerospace, automotive and nuclear engineering. Most of the structures were subjected to severe dynamic loading during their service life that may induce vibration of the structures. However, free vibration studied on the basalt laminates composite plates with elliptical cut-out and correlation of natural frequency with buckling load has been very limited. Therefore, effects of the elliptical hole on the natural frequency of basalt/epoxy composite plates was performed in this study. Effects of stacking sequence (θ), elliptical hole inclination (ϕ), hole geometric ratio (a/b) and position of the elliptical hole were considered. The numerical modeling of free vibration analysis was based on the mechanical properties of BFRP obtained from the experiment. The natural frequencies as well as mode shapes of basalt laminates composite plates were numerically determined using the commercial program software (ABAQUS). Then, the determination of correlation of natural frequencies with buckling load was carried out. Results showed that elliptical hole inclination and fiber orientation angle induced the inverse proportion between natural frequency and buckling load.

Before And After

In this paper, we present a vibration-based transmission tower structural health monitoring system consisting of two parts that identifies structural changes in towers. An accelerometer group realizes vibration response acquisition at different positions and reduces the risk of data loss by data compression technology. A solar cell provides the power supply. An analyser receives the data from the acceleration sensor group and calculates the transmission tower natural frequencies, and the change in the structure is determined based on natural frequencies. Then, the data are sent to the monitoring center. Furthermore, analysis of the vibration signal and the calculation method of natural frequencies are proposed. The response and natural frequencies of vibration at different wind speeds are analysed by time-domain signal, power spectral density (PSD), root mean square (RMS) and short-time Fouier transform (STFT). The natural frequency identification of the overall structure by the stochastic subspace identification (SSI) method reveals that the number of natural frequencies that can be calculated at different wind speeds is different, but the 2nd, 3rd and 4th natural frequencies can be excited. Finally, the system was tested on a 110 kV experimental transmission line. After 18 h of experimentation, the natural frequency of the overall structure of the transmission tower was determined before and after the tower leg was lifted. The results show that before and after the tower leg is lifted, the natural frequencies of each order exhibit obvious changes, and the differences in the average values can be used as the basis for judging the structural changes of the tower.

In this work analytical solutions are developed to study the free vibration of composite beams under axial loading. The beam with a single delamination is modeled as four interconnected Euler-Bernoulli beams using the delamination as their boundary. The continuity and the equilibrium conditions are satisfied between the adjoining beams. The studies show that the sizes and the locations of the delaminations significantly influence the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the beam. A monotonic relation between the natural frequency and the axial load is predicted.

To reduce the multi-dimensional vibration which exist in some vibrating machines or equipments such as running ambulances, a parallel mechanism with 3-translation DOFs was presented and introduced into the ambulance stretcher, then a three-translation vibration reduction platform was developed. The kinematics and dynamics equations of the presented vibration reduction platform were deduced. And then the workspace, tuning principles and dynamics characteristics were studied. The simulations show that the presented parallel mechanism or vibration reduction platform is valid for reducing vibration and the system has different natural frequencies in case that the upper platform of the mechanism works on some specific positions, so it can be used to achieve tunable vibration control.

Vibroisolation systems of base desks for machine and testing facilities usually cannot effect efficient changing of their own frequencies according to operating conditions. Especially in the case of the automotive industry, the possibility of changing natural frequencies is very desirable. During varying operating conditions, the vibroisolation system needs to be regulated easily and quickly regarding the minimisation of dynamical forces transmitted to the ground and to ensure the stability of the testing process. This paper describes one of the options of tuning the base desk at a relatively short time and by sufficient change of own frequencies, which decides the dynamical behaviour of the whole system.

Vibration based technique have so far been focused on the identification of structural damage. However, not many studies have been conducted on the corrosion identification on pipes. The objective of this paper is to identify corrosion on pipes from vibration measurements. A hollow pipe, 500 mm in length with 63.5 mm in diameter was subjected to impact loading using an impact hammer to identify the natural frequency of the tube in two conditions i) without any corrosion and ii) with an induced localized 40 mm by 40 mm corrosion at the middle of the pipe. The shift of natural frequencies of the structures under free boundary conditions was examined for each node of excitation. The results showed that there is a shift in natural frequency of the pipe, between 3 and 4 Hz near to the corrosion area. It can suggested that that the impact vibration is capable of identifying of localized corrosion on a hollow tube.

Recently Cox and Boxer determined natural frequencies and mode shapes of flexural vibration of uniform rectangular isotropic plates, that have free edges and pinpoint supports at the four corners. In their analysis, they obtain approximate solutions of the differential equation through the use of finite difference expressions and an electronic digital computer. In the present note, the frequency expression and mode shape for a square plate, vibrating at the lowest natural frequency, are determined by considerations of energy. The values obtained are compared with those given in reference.
