A probabilistic analysis method is developed for frequencies analysis of turbine blade with uncertain boundary condition at the root of blade. The Ritz method is used to derive the eigenvalues equation of the rotating blade with uncertain root boundary condition. The matrix perturbation technique is employed for the probabilistic analysis to obtain the deterministic part of natural frequencies and vibration modes, the sensitivity matrix, the covariance matrix and the coefficient of variance (COV) for the natural frequencies. The effects of variations in the expectation and the variance of joint stiffness on the expectation and the variance of the natural frequencies are investigated.

In this paper, the material properties, sectional properties, rotating speed and the boundary condition of beam are treated as random variable. A Ritz method is used to derive the eigenvalues equation of the rotating beam with uncertain parameters. A matrix perturbation technique is employed to obtain probabilistic characters of the natural frequencies and vibration modes for free vibration. The sensitivity analysis is performed to study the influence of parametric changes on the variation of nature frequencies. The effects of variation in material propertied, rotating speed and the joint stiffness on the deterministic part of natural frequencies and vibration modes, the covariance and the coefficient of variance (COV) for the nature frequencies are investigated. A numerical example is studied by the present method and the Monte Carlo simulation to establish the validity of the present method.

Frequency Changes

The natural frequencies of a cracked plate with a roving mass were computed using the Rayleigh-Ritz Method for various sets of boundary condition. The obtained frequencies exhibit a sudden shift as a roving body crosses a crack. If the crack is only partial and continuity of translation is maintained, then the frequency shift occurs only when the body possesses a rotary inertia. If the crack is a complete one (through thickness) which permits differential translation to occur on either side of the crack, a particle having mass only (translatory inertia) is sufficient to cause a sudden shift. There is no need for a rotary inertia. This is potentially useful in detecting cracks in structures, as it is possible to track the changes in the natural frequencies of a structure as a test body such as a vehicle on a bridge moves and identify points where sudden frequency changes occur.

We study the electromagnetic Casimir interaction energy between two parallel concentric cylinders in [Formula: see text]-dimensional Minkowski space–time for different combinations of perfectly conducting boundary condition and infinitely permeable boundary condition. We consider two cases where one cylinder is outside each other and where one is inside the other. By solving the equation of motion and computing the TGTG formulas, explicit formulas for the Casimir interaction energy can be derived and asymptotic behavior of the Casimir interaction energy in the nanoregime is calculated by using perturbation technique. We computed the interaction energy analytically up to next-to-leading order term.

The Given

In this paper, we look for non-uniform Rayleigh beams isospectral to a given uniform Rayleigh beam. Isospectral systems are those that have the same spectral properties, i.e. the same free vibration natural frequencies for a given boundary condition. A transformation is proposed that converts the fourth-order governing differential equation of non-uniform Rayleigh beam into a uniform Rayleigh beam. If the coefficients of the transformed equation match with those of the uniform beam equation, then the non-uniform beam is isospectral to the given uniform beam. The boundary-condition configuration should be preserved under this transformation. We present the constraints under which the boundary configurations will remain unchanged. Frequency equivalence of the non-uniform beams and the uniform beam is confirmed by the finite-element method. For the considered cases, examples of beams having a rectangular cross section are presented to show the application of our analysis.

Abstract The natural frequencies and natural modes of vibration of uniform elliptic plates with clamped, simply supported and free boundaries are investigated using Rayleigh-Ritz method. A modified polar coordinate system is used to investigate the problem. Energy expressions in Cartesian coordinate system are transformed into the modified polar coordinate system. Boundary characteristic orthogonal polynomials in the radial direction, and trigonometric functions in the angular direction are used to express the deflection of the plate. These deflection shapes are classified into four basic categories, depending on its symmetrical or antisymmetrical property about the major and minor axes of the ellipse. The first six natural modes in each of the above categories are presented in the form of contour plots.

Abstract Natural frequencies of parallelogrammic plates are obtained by employing a set of beam characteristic orthogonal polynomials in the Rayleigh-Ritz method. The orthogonal polynomials are generalted by using a Gram-Schmidt process, after the first member is constructed so as to satisfy all the boundary conditions of the corresponding beam problems accompanying the plate problems. The strain energy functional and kinetic energy functionals are transformed from Cartesian coordinate system to a skew coordinate system. The natural frequencies obtained by using the orthogonal polynomial functions are compared with those obtained by other methods with all four edges clamped boundary conditions and greet agreements are found between them. The natural frequencies for parallelogrammic plates with other boundary conditions, such as four edges simply supported, clamped-free and simply supported-free, are also obtained. This method is considered as a better and accurate comprehensive treatment for this type of problems.

Isosceles Triangles

Abstract Using the method published by Ritz in 1909, natural frequencies and corresponding node lines have been determined for two symmetric and two antisymmetric modes of vibration of isosceles triangular plates clamped at the base and having length-to-base ratios of 1, 2, 4, and 7 and for the two lowest modes of right triangular plates clamped along one leg and having ratios of the length of the free leg to that of the clamped one of 2, 4, and 7. A nonorthogonal co-ordinate system was used which gave constant limits of integration over the area of the triangle. The co-ordinate transformation made it necessary to modify the functions used by Ritz in approximating deflections and to consider cross products in the integration. The integration was done numerically, using tables compiled by Young and Felgar in 1949. To check the accuracy of results, a solution was obtained to the problem of a vibrating cantilever beam of uniform depth and triangular plan view. The results obtained were found to be consistent with those obtained for the plates by using an eight-term series to approximate the deflections of the symmetric plates (isosceles triangles) and a six-term series to approximate the deflections of the unsymmetric plates (right triangles).

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.
