This paper discusses a perturbation approach to the calculation of the natural frequencies and mode shapes for both the displacement and the electrostatic potential through-thickness vibration of an infinite piezoelectric plate. The problem is formulated within the coupled theory of linear piezoelectricity. It is described by a set of two coupled differential equations with unknown thickness displacement, the electrostatic potential and a general form of boundary conditions. A consistent perturbation solution to the natural vibration problem is described. An important element not present in the classical eigenvalue perturbation solution is that the small parameter appears in the boundary conditions; a way to handle this complication has been discussed. The natural frequencies and mode shapes obtained using the perturbation approach are compared to exact solutions, demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed method. The advantage of the perturbation method derives from the fact that coupled piezoelectric results can be obtained from the elastic solution during the postprocessing stage.

In this present study, the “Free Bending Vibrations of a Centrally Bonded Symmetric Double Lap Joint (or Symmetric Double Doubler Joint) with a Gap in Mindlin Plates or Panels” are theoretically analyzed and are numerically solved in some detail. The “plate adherends” and the upper and lower “doubler plates” of the “Bonded Joint” system are considered as dissimilar, orthotropic “Mindlin Plates” joined through the dissimilar upper and lower very thin adhesive layers. There is a symmetrically and centrally located “Gap” between the “plate adherends” of the joint system. In the “adherends” and the “doublers” of the “Bonded Joint” assembly, the transverse shear deformations and the transverse and rotary moments of inertia are included in the analysis. The relatively very thin adhesive layers are assumed to be linearly elastic continua with transverse normal and shear stresses. The “damping effects” in the entire “Bonded Joint” system are neglected. The sets of the dynamic “Mindlin Plate” equations of the “plate adherends”, the “double doubler plates” and the thin adhesive layers are combined together with the orthotropic stress resultant-displacement expressions in a “special form”. This system of equations, after some further manipulations, is eventually reduced to a set of the “Governing System of the First Order Ordinary Differential Equations” in terms of the “state vectors” of the problem. Hence, the final set of the aforementioned “Governing Systems of Equations” together with the “Continuity Conditions” and the “Boundary conditions” facilitate the present solution procedure. This is the “Modified Transfer Matrix Method (MTMM) (with Interpolation Polynomials). The present theoretical formulation and the method of solution are applied to a typical “Bonded Symmetric Double Lap Joint (or Symmetric Double Doubler Joint) with a Gap”. The effects of the relatively stiff (or “hard”) and the relatively flexible (or “soft”) adhesive properties, on the natural frequencies and mode shapes are considered in detail. The very interesting mode shapes with their dimensionless natural frequencies are presented for various sets of boundary conditions. Also, several parametric studies of the dimensionless natural frequencies of the entire system are graphically presented. From the numerical results obtained, some important conclusions are drawn for the “Bonded Joint System” studied here.

Virtual Mass

This paper is concerned with the virtual mass effect on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of rectangular plates due to the presence of the water on one side of the plate. The approximate formula, which mainly depends on the so-called nondimensionalized added virtual mass incremental factor, can be used to estimate natural frequencies in water from natural frequencies in vacuo. However, the approximate formula is valid only when the wet mode shapes are almost the same as the one in vacuo. Moreover, the nondimensionalized added virtual mass incremental factor is in general a function of geometry, material properties of the plate and mostly boundary conditions of the plate and water domain. In this paper, the added virtual mass incremental factors for rectangular plates are obtained using the Rayleigh-Ritz method combined with the Green function method. Two cases of interfacing boundary conditions, which are free-surface and rigid-wall conditions, and two cases of plate boundary conditions, simply supported and clamped cases, are considered in this paper. It is found that the theoretical results match the experimental results. To investigate the validity of the approximate formula, the exact natural frequencies and mode shapes in water are calculated by means of the virtual added mass matrix. It is found that the approximate formula predicts lower natural frequencies in water with a very good accuracy.

A free flexural vibrations of a spinning, finite Timoshenko beam for the six classical boundary conditions are analytically solved and presented for the first time. Expressions for computing natural frequencies and mode shapes are given. Numerical simulation studies show that the simply-supported beam possesses very peculiar free vibration characteristics: There exist two sets of natural frequencies corresponding to each mode shape, and the forward and backward precession mode shapes of each set coincide identically. These phenomena are not observed in beams with the other five types of boundary conditions. In these cases, the forward and backward precessions are different, implying that each natural frequency corresponds to a single mode shape.

The vibration analysis of an annular plate made up of functionally graded magneto-electro-elastic materials subjected to multi physical loads is presented. The plate is in thermal environment and temperature is distributed non-uniformly in its thickness direction. In addition, the plate is assumed moderately thick, the material properties vary through the thickness, and the exact neutral surface position is determined and took into account. According to Hamilton’s principle and the first-order shear deformation theory, the governing motion equations are extracted. Numerical results for various boundary conditions are obtained via the generalized differential quadrature method and are validated in simpler states with those of the literature. The effects of different parameters such as material property gradient index, multi physical loads, temperature variations, boundary conditions and geometric specifications of the plate on the natural frequencies and mode shapes are investigated. Temperature changes have little effect on the natural frequencies and the effect of electric potential on them is opposite of magnetic one. In other words, by increasing the magnetic potential, the rigidity of the plate increases too, and the frequency increases. The results of this study are useful to design more efficient sensors and actuators used in the smart or intelligent structures.

Stiffened Cylindrical Shell

Wave based method which can be recognized as a semi-analytical and semi-numerical method is presented to analyze the free vibration characteristics of ring stiffened cylindrical shell with intermediate large frame ribs for arbitrary boundary conditions. According to the structure type and the positions of discontinuities, the model is divided into different substructures whose vibration field is expanded by wave functions which are exactly analytical solutions to the governing equations of the motions of corresponding structure type. Boundary conditions and continuity equations between different substructures are used to form the final matrix to be solved. Natural frequencies and vibration mode shapes are calculated by wave based method and the results show good agreement with finite element method for clamped-clamped, shear diaphragm – shear diaphragm and free-free boundary conditions. Free vibration characteristics of ring stiffened cylindrical shells with intermediate large frame ribs are compared with those with bulkheads and those with all ordinary ribs. Effects of the size, the number and the distribution of intermediate large frame rib are investigated. The frame rib which is large enough is playing a role as bulkhead, which can be considered imposing simply supported and clamped constraints at one end of the cabin and dividing the cylindrical shell into several cabins vibrating separately at their own natural frequencies.

This study is concerned with the free bending vibrations of two rectangular, orthotropic plates connected by an adhesively bonded lap joint. The influence of shear deformation and rotatory inertia in plates are taken into account in the equations according to the Mindlin plate theory. The effects of both thickness and shear deformations in the thin adhesive layer are included in the formulation. Plates are assumed to have simply supported boundary conditions at two opposite edges. However, any boundary conditions can be prescribed at the other two edges. First, equations of motion at the overlap region are derived. Then, a Levy-type solution for displacements and stress resultants are used to formulate the problem in terms of a system of first order ordinary differential equations. A revised version of the Transfer Matrix Method together with the boundary and continuity conditions are used to obtain the frequency equation of the system. The natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes are obtained for identical and dissimilar adherends with different boundary conditions. The effects of some parameters on the natural frequencies are studied and plotted.

Slender Structures

The present work treats the problem of the calculation of the natural frequencies and the corresponding bending vibration modes of vertical slender structures. The originality of the study lies on fact that for the derivation of natural frequencies and the corresponding mode shapes, all physical properties that influence the bending vibration of the structure were considered including the aspect of the variation of tension. The resulting mathematical formulation incorporates all principal contributions such as the bending stiffness, the weight and the tension variation. The governing equation is treated using a perturbation approach. The application of this method results to the development of two boundary layer problems at the ends of the structure. These problems are treated properly using a boundary layer problem solution methodology in order to obtain asymptotic approximations to the shape of the vibrating riser-type structure. It should be noted that in this work the term ‘boundary layer’ is not connected with fluid flows but it is used to indicate the narrow region across which the dependent variable undergoes very rapid changes. Frequently these narrow regions adjoin the boundaries of the domain of intersect, especially when the small parameter multiplies the highest derivative.
