Abstract When a structure deviates from axisymmetry because of circumferentially varying model features, significant changes can occur to its natural frequencies and modes, particularly for the doublet modes that have non-zero nodal diameters and repeated natural frequencies in the limit of axisymmetry. Of technical interest are configurations in which inertia, dissipation, stiffness, or domain features are evenly distributed around the structure. Aside from the well-studied phenomenon of eigenvalue splitting, whereby the natural frequencies of certain doublets split into distinct values, modes of the axisymmetric structure that are precisely harmonic become contaminated by certain additional wavenumbers in the presence of periodically spaced model features. From analytical, numerical, and experimental perspectives, this paper investigates spatial modulation of the doublet modes, particularly those retaining repeated natural frequencies for which modulation is most acute. In some cases, modulation can be sufficiently severe that a mode shape will beat spatially as harmonics with commensurate wavenumbers combine, just as the superposition of time records having nearly equal frequencies leads to classic temporal beating. A straightforward algebraic relation and a graphical checkerboard diagram are discussed with a view towards predicting the wavenumbers present in modulated eigenfunctions given the number of nodal diameters in the base mode and the number of equally spaced model features.

From analytical, numerical, and experimental perspectives, this paper investigates spatial modulation of the doublet modes, particularly those retaining repeated natural frequencies for which modulation is most acute. In some cases, modulation can be sufficiently severe that a mode shape will “beat” spatially as harmonics with commensurate wavenumbers combine, just as the superposition of time records having nearly equal frequencies leads to classic temporal beating. An algebraic relation and a diagrammatic method are discussed with a view towards predicting the wavenumbers present in modulated eigenfunctions given the number of nodal diameters in the base mode and the number of equally spaced model features.

In this article, we consider a split beam (in the form of a prestressed hollow slab of bridge structures) on two supports with hinged fastening (hingedly supported), in order to study the natural frequencies and modes of oscillation, is also calculated depending on the length of the plate (i.e. small length of the span up to 15 meters). A review and analysis of engineering structures, as well as the selection of materials with the calculation of the height of the compressed zone of concrete, sections, diameter and number of reinforcement were carried out.

Abstract In many applications, the dynamic behavior of large periodic structures must be modeled accurately, thus requiring the determination of a significant number of natural frequencies and mode shapes. In order to perform that task most efficiently, a continuum modeling approach can be adopted. The discrete structure is then replaced by a continuum model which can be analyzed more efficiently. Therefore, at the design stage many analyses can be performed while searching for the optimal solution. Known structural models are usually used as continuum models, and several methods are available to determine the equivalent properties from the properties of the original structure. This task is usually cumbersome, and in addition, in certain cases, continuum models cannot represent all modes of deformation. In this article, a simple approach to develop continuum models without explicit reference to an existing structural theory is presented. Very accurate results are obtained, and all vibration modes can now be handled easily.

The aim of this work was to determine by vibration tests the longitudinal elastic modulus and shear modulus of welded joints by flux cored arc welding. These two material properties are characteristic elastic constants of tensile stress respectively torsion stress and can be determined by several non-destructive methods. One of the latest non-destructive experimental techniques in this field is based on the analysis of the vibratory signal response from the welded sample. An algorithm based on Pronys series method is used for processing the acquired signal due to sample response of free vibrations. By the means of Finite Element Method (FEM), the natural frequencies and modes shapes of the same specimen of carbon steel were determined. These results help to interpret experimental measurements and the vibration modes identification, and Youngs modulus and shear modulus determination.

Vibration properties of high-speed rotating and revolving planet rings with discrete and partially distributed stiffnesses were studied. The governing equations were obtained by Hamilton’s principle based on a rotating frame on the ring. The governing equations were cast in matrix differential operators and discretized, using Galerkin’s method. The eigenvalue problem was dealt with state space matrix, and the natural frequencies and vibration modes were computed in a wide range of rotation speed. The properties of natural frequencies and vibration modes with rotation speed were studied for free planet rings and planet rings with discrete and partially distributed stiffnesses. The influences of several parameters on the vibration properties of planet rings were also investigated. Finally, the forced responses of planet rings resulted from the excitation of rotating and revolving movement were studied. The results show that the revolving movement not only affects the free vibration of planet rings but results in excitation to the rings. Partially distributed stiffness changes the vibration modes heavily compared to the free planet ring. Each vibration mode comprises several nodal diameter components instead of a single component for a free planet ring. The distribution area and the number of partially distributed stiffnesses mainly affect the high-order frequencies. The forced responses caused by revolving movement are nonlinear and vary with a quasi-period of rotating speed, and the responses in the regions supported by partially distributed stiffnesses are suppressed.

This paper presents a novel non-destructive method to locate and size damages in frame structures, performed by examining and interpreting changes in measured vibration response. The method bases on a relation, prior contrived by the authors, between the strain energy distribution in the structure for the transversal vibration modes and the modal changes (in terms of natural frequencies) due to damage. Using this relation a damage location indicator DLI was derived, which permits to locate cracks in spatial structures. In this paper an L-frame is considered for proving the applicability of this method. First the mathematical expressions for the modes shapes and their derivatives were determined and simulation result compared with that obtained by finite element analysis. Afterwards patterns characterizing damage locations were derived and compared with measurement results on the real structure; the DLI permitted accurate localization of any crack placed in the two structural elements.

In order to study the dynamic characteristics of a super-long-span cable-stayed bridge which is semi-floating system, the spatial finite element model of this cable-stayed bridge was established in ANSYS based on the finite element theory.Modal solution was conducted using subspace iteration method, and natural frequencies and vibration modes were obtained.The dynamic characteristics of this super-long-span cable-stayed bridge were then analyzed.Results showed that the super-long-span cable-stayed bridge of semi-floating system has long basic cycle, low natural frequencies, dense modes and intercoupling vibration modes.
