A great deal of published literature exists which analyzes the free vibrations of turbomachinery blades by means of one-dimensional beam theories. Recently, a more accurate, two-dimensional analysis method has been developed based upon shallow shell theory. The present paper summarizes the two types of theories and makes quantitative comparisons of frequencies obtained by them. Numerical results are presented for cambered and/or twisted blades of uniform thickness. Significant differences between the theories are found to occur, especially for low aspect ratio blades. The causes of these differences are discussed.

The literature dealing with vibrations of turbomachinery blades is voluminous, but the vast majority of it treats the blades as beams. In a previous paper a two-dimensional analytical procedure was developed and demonstrated on simple models of blades having camber. The procedure utilizes shallow shell theory along with the classical Ritz method for solving the vibration problem. Displacement functions are taken as algebraic polynomials. In the present paper the method is demonstrated on blade models having camber. Comparisons are first made with results in the literature for nonrotating twisted plates and various disagreements between results are pointed out. A method for depicting mode shape information is demonstrated, permitting one to examine all three components of displacement. Finally, the analytical procedure is demonstrated on rotating twisted blade modes, both without and with camber.

Abstract In an artificial island construction project based on the large-scale marine reclamation land, the soil settlement is a key to affect the late safe operation of the whole field. To analyze the factors of the soil settlement in a marine reclamation project, the SEM method in the soil micro-structural analysis method is used to test and study six soil samples such as the representative silt, mucky silty clay, silty clay and clay in the area. The structural characteristics that affect the soil settlement are obtained by observing the SEM charts at different depths. By combining numerical calculation method of Terzaghi’s one-dimensional and Biot’s two-dimensional consolidation theory, the one-dimensional and two-dimensional creep models are established and the numerical calculation results of two consolidation theories are compared in order to predict the maximum settlement of the soils 100 years after completion. The analysis results indicate that the micro-structural characteristics are the essential factor to affect the settlement in this area. Based on numerical analysis of one-dimensional and two-dimensional settlement, the settlement law and trend obtained by two numerical analysis method is similar. The analysis of this paper can provide reference and guidance to the project related to the marine reclamation land.

Rotating cavitation is an important problem, which makes it difficult to design reliable rotating machines. In this study, a simple analysis method that tried to evaluate the cavitation instabilities of a rotating machinery by using one-dimensional (1D) system analysis software was attempted. In this method, cavitation compliance and mass flow gain factor are distributed in each flow path of the inducer. Analysis results show that cavitation instabilities, including rotating phenomena, exist. With the evolved analysis model, effects of various parameters on the eigenvalues of the system were investigated. Analysis results agreed with inducer test results qualitatively. Furthermore, by the analysis considered whirl motion of the rotor, effects of it on cavitation instabilities were investigated.

Using the functional analysis method, we present the exact solutions of the double ring-shaped oscillator (DRSO) potential with certain parity in the cylindrical coordinates. Such a quantum system is separated to two differential equations, i.e. a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator plus an inverse square term and a two-dimensional harmonic oscillator plus an inverse square term. The key point is how to find the adapted symmetrical solutions of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator plus an inverse square term at the singular point [Formula: see text]. The obtained results are compared with those in the spherical coordinates. We also explore intimate connections [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] by substituting [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text].

This paper contains an analysis of the free vibrations of uniformly pretwisted rectangular plates, utilizing the exact equations of classical shallow-shell theory. Specifically, solutions are given (a) for two opposite edges simply supported and the other two free, and (b) for all four edges simply supported. Numerical results obtained for case (b) are compared with previous results for the torsional vibrations of pretwisted beams. A simple frequency equation is obtained for case (b), permitting a detailed study of the effects of both pretwist and longitudinal inertia.

Shallow shell theory and the Ritz method are employed to determine the frequencies and mode shapes of turbomachinery blades having both camber and twist, rotating with non-zero angles of attack. Frequencies obtained for different degrees of shallowness and thickness are compared with results available in the literature, obtained from finite element analyses of nonrotating blades. Frequencies are also determined for a rotating blade, showing the effects of changing the (1) angular velocity of rotation (2) disk radius and (3) angle of attack, as well as the significance of the most important body force terms.

Flash Diffusivity

The laser flash method for measuring thermal diffusivity is well established and has been in use for many years. Early analysis methods employed a simple model, in which one dimensional transient conduction was assumed, with insulated surfaces during the time subsequent to the flash. More recently, models of grater sophistication have been applied to flash diffusivity experiments. These models have been matched to experimental data using nonlinear regression and assume one-dimensional conduction. The advanced models have achieved highly accurate agreement with experimental data taken from thin samples, on the order of one millimeter in thickness. As samples become thicker, models which neglect edge losses can lose some conformity to the experimental data. The present research involves the application of a two dimensional model which allows for penetration of the laser flash into the sample. The accommodation of the flash penetration is important for porous materials, where the coarseness of the porosity is more than one percent of the sample thickness. Variability of the area of incidence of the flash is also investigated to determine the effect on the model and the results. Statistical methods are used in order to make a determination as to the validity of the two dimensional model, as compared with the one dimensional analysis method.

Turbomachinery Blades

A procedure for analyzing the vibrations of rotating turbomachinery blades has been previously developed. This procedure is based upon shallow shell theory, and utilizes the Ritz method to determine frequencies and mode shapes. However, it has been limited heretofore to blades of uniform thickness, uniform curvature, and/or twist and rectangular planform. The present work shows how the procedure may be generalized to eliminate the aforementioned restrictions. Nonrectangular planforms are dealt with by a suitable coordinate transformation. This, as well as variable thickness, curvature and twist, require using numerical integration. The procedure is demonstrated on four examples of cantilevered blades for which theoretical and experimental data have been previously published: (1) flat plate with spanwise taper, (2) flat plate with chordwise taper, (3) twisted plate with chordwise taper, and (4) cylindrical shell with chordwise taper.
