The finite element method is used to determine the natural frequencies of flat square plates containing centrally located circular or square holes. The plates are subjected to either inplane uniaxial, biaxial or uniformly distributed shear along the four outer edges. These edges are either simply supported or clamped. To determine the stiffness and mass matrices, non conforming rectangular and triangular displacement elements are used to model the out of plane behaviour of the plate. The inplane stress distribution within the plates, which are required in the analysis are determined by using inplane finite elements having displacement fields based on assumed strains. These satisfy the exact requirements of strain free rigid body modes of displacements. The natural frequencies of simply supported and clamped plates are initially determined when no inplane loads are applied. This showed the influence of the size of the hole on the natural circular frequency. These plates were then subjected to inplane loads and the effect of these forces on the natural frequencies are given. The results show the natural frequencies of square plates with central circular holes decrease with increasing compressive forces, and that the frequencies become zero when the compressive forces are equal to the elastic buckling loads of the plates. By repeating this process for all boundary conditions and applied loads a comprehensive set of results is obtained for the buckling and vibrational properties of square plates containing centrally located holes.

The present paper investigates the vibration frequency of slender beams prestressing by axial force and resting on an elastic Winkler foundation by the finite element method. A beam element taking the effects of both the prestress and foundation support into account is formulated using the expression of strain energy. Using the developed element, the natural frequencies of beams having various boundary conditions are computed for different values of the axial force and foundation stiffness. The influence of the axial force and the foundation stiffness on the frequency of the beams is investigated. The effect of partial support by the foundation and the type of mass matrices on the vibration frequency of the beam is also studied and highlighted.

Free asymmetric vibration of spherical shells with clamped and hinged boundary conditions are analyzed using the finite element method. Element stiffness and consistent mass matrices are derived using the improved shell theory, which takes into account the effects of shear deformation and rotary inertia. Natural frequencies for a wide spectrum of shell geometry ranging from shallow cap to hemispherical shell have been computed and are found to be in close agreement with the available data in the literature.

В справочной литературе содержатся расчетные зависимости для частот свободных колебаний балок со сплошной стенкой, но отсутствуют данные по собственным колебаниям перфорированных балок. В то же время в судостроении и строительной практике широко распространены балки с перфорированной стенкой, содержащей вырезы круглой, овальной и прямоугольной формы. В статье проведен анализ влияния вырезов на частоту свободных колебаний перфорированных свободно опертых балок. При этом первоначально рассматривались балки со сплошной стенкой, а затем балки таких же размеров с вырезами. Для удобства практических вычислений известная зависимость была трансформирована к виду, позволяющему оценить частоту колебаний только по соотношению площадей полки и стенки и габаритным размерам балки без необходимости определения ее момента инерции и погонной массы. Аналогичные зависимости были получены и для перфорированных балок с круглыми и прямоугольными вырезами, в которых дополнительными факторами являлись параметры перфорации: относительная высота вырезов и относительная ширина перемычек. При отсутствии вырезов формулы для перфорированных балоксводятся к формуле для балки со сплошной стенкой.Сравнительный анализ частот проводился путем расчета по аналитическим зависимостям и методом конечных элементов с использованием программного комплекса ANSYS. На основе проведенного анализа сделан вывод, что наличие регулярно расположенных вырезов с высотой, не превышающей рекомендации Морского Регистра РФ, в зависимости от параметров перфорации приводит к разному повышению частот собственных колебаний однопролетных балок, хотя степень их повышения невелика. Предложенные аналитические зависимости для балок разного конструктивного оформления удовлетворительно согласуются с результатами расчетов МКЭ. In manual on the ship structural mechanics the analytical relations for determination of the natural frequencies of the beams with solid web are given, but there are no data about proper vibration of perforated beams. At the same time in shipbuilding and in structural industry the perforated beams with circular, rectangular and oval openings are widely used. In this article the analysis of influence of openings on the natural frequencies of the simply supported perforated beams is performed. Initially it was considered beams with solid web and then beams of the same dimensions with openings. For commodity of practical calculations, the well-known relation was transformed to the form allowing to appreciate frequency of vibration only with knowledge of ratio of areas of shelves and web without necessity of finding their moment of inertia and running mass of beam. Similar relations were obtained for perforated beams with circular and rectangular openings, in which additional arguments were such parameters of perforation as related depth of openings and related width of web-posts. In case of absence of openings, the formulas for perforated beams are reduced to formula for beam with solid web. Comparative analysis was performed by calculations according to analytical relations and with the finite element method using the program complex ANSYS. On base of performed analysis it was made conclusion that existence of regularly located openings with depth not extending recommendations of Russian Maritime Register, in dependence on parameters of perforation brings to different increasing of natural frequencies of vibration of one span beams, although degree of this increasing is not high. Suggested analytical relations for beams of different constructive design are in a good correlation with results obtained by the finite element method.

Introduction: Natural bending frequencies of externally prestressed steel beam have certain sensitivity to prestress force, so they can be used to find the magnitude of prestress force. Methods: To answer the question if the existence of externally prestressed tendons increases or decreases the natural bending frequencies of a simply supported steel beam, the calculating formula for natural frequencies is deduced by using the energy method from the view point of prestress mechanism and further verified by the finite element method. Using this formula of universal property, the influence of prestress force, eccentricity and cross-sectional area of tendons on natural bending frequencies of prestressed steel beam is clearly revealed. Results and Conclusion: For external prestressed steel beams with straight tendons, their natural frequencies increase with the eccentricity and cross-sectional area of the prestressed tendon, and the eccentricity has a much larger effect on natural frequencies than the cross-sectional area does. The prestress force has no influence on the oven-order frequencies but decreases the odd-order frequencies. With the increasing order number, the prestress effect is much weaker than the effects caused by the eccentricity and cross-sectional area of the tendon.

Modal analysis is widely used for linear dynamic analysis of structures. The finite element method is used to numerically compute stiffness and mass matrices and the corresponding eigenvalue problem is solved to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes of vibration. Implicit boundary method was developed to use equations of the boundary to apply boundary conditions and loads so that a background mesh can be used for analysis. A background mesh is easier to generate because the elements do not have to conform to the given geometry and therefore uniform regular shaped elements can be used. In this paper, we show that this approach is suitable for modal analysis and modal superposition techniques as well. Furthermore, the implicit boundary method also allows higher order elements that use B-spline approximations. Several test examples are studied for verification.

The authors propose a model of the elastodynamics of the Peppermill Carrier, a parallel isostatic Schönflies-motion generator designed for pick-and-place operations. The Cartesian spring and the finite element method are used to build the elastodynamics model of the robot. The stiffness and mass matrices are introduced to obtain the natural frequencies of the robot along a test trajectory — the Adept test cycle — that serves to evaluate the performance of the robot with respect to the operation speed.

The natural frequencies of square plates containing circular holes is investigated using the finite element method. The holes are eccentrically located, and the effect of this eccentricity on the natural frequency is examined when the plates are subjected to a variety of inplane loads. The natural frequencies are calculated by using the 12 degree of freedom non conforming rectangular and the 9 degree of freedom non conforming triangular bending elements. To determine the inplane stress distribution, strain based inplane elements are used. The displacement fields for these elements are based on assumed strain functions which satisfy the exact requirement of rigid body motion. In the present paper, the lowest natural frequencies and the corresponding modes of vibration are determined for simply supported or clamped plates containing circular holes. Initially the plate is unloaded at the middle surface, and the effect of the degree of eccentricity on the natural frequency is examined. Result are also given for plates subjected to uniform uniaxial and biaxial compression. For plates loaded by inplane uniformly distributed shear, tension and compression regions are produced. Hence for these plates, the natural frequencies are determined when the circular holes are located either in the tension or compression zones.

This research article examines the application of various methods to determine the effective elastic properties of beech veneer-wood composites. Using laminate theory, the theoretically calculated effective values of the in-plane and out-of-plane modulus of elasticity as well as shear modulus are compared with the values determined from the natural frequencies of flexural, torsional and longitudinal vibrations of samples having different orientations and numbers of composite layers. The samples are also modelled using the finite element method, and their natural frequencies are calculated by the modal analysis. Research has shown that the laminate theory, which is well established and applied in the world of synthetic composites, can also be applied to beech plywood composites, where the theoretically calculated effective values can be up to 15% higher. Similarly, due to the higher calculated effective elastic properties, higher natural frequencies of flexural, torsional and longitudinal vibrations are also calculated by the finite element method.

AbstractElastic buckling is an instability phenomenon that can occur if a slender and thin plate is subjected to axial compression. An important characteristic of the buckling is that the instability may occur at a stress level that is substantially lower than the material yield strength. Besides, the presence of holes in structural plate elements is common. However these perforations cause a redistribution in plate membrane stresses, significantly altering their stability. In this paper the Bejan’s Constructal Design was employed to optimize the geometry of simply supported, rectangular, thin perforated plates subjected to the elastic buckling. Three different centered hole shapes were considered: elliptical, rectangular and diamond. The objective function was to maximize the critical buckling load. The degree of freedom H/L (ratio between width and length of the plate) was kept constant, while H0/L0 (ratio between the characteristic dimensions of the holes) was optimized for several hole volume fractions (ϕ). A numerical model employing the Lanczos method and based on the finite element method was used. The results showed that, for lower values of ϕ the optimum geometry is the diamond hole. For intermediate and higher values of ϕ, the elliptical and rectangular hole, respectively, led to the best performance.

The partial differential equations for curved pipes with fluid structure interaction, including the effects of fluid pressure and Coriolis force, Centrifugal force and migration force caused by flow velocity, etc., were derived. These equations were then solved numerically utilizing the transfer matrix method (TMM) in the frequency domain because of its computational efficiency. The results were compared with those predicted by the finite element method and a discrete model. It is demonstrated that the TMM has high precision in the vibration analysis of fluid-filled curved pipes. Furthermore, the influence laws of geometrical properties on the natural frequencies and frequency responses of pipeline are discussed, which show that the natural frequencies of the fluid do not change with the varying of curvature angle when curved pipe filled with steam. But the resonance frequencies of the out-of-plane vibration and vibration amplitudes of the fluid pressure waves are strongly influenced by the variation of curvature angle.
