Abstract This paper reports an analytical study on the out-of-plane vibration and stability of a uniform beam attached to a rotating hub and carrying a rigid body at the other end. The parameters which govern the natural frequencies are the hub radius (root offset), speed of rotation of hub, the mass of the end body, its moment of inertia about an axis in the plane of rotation and through the centre of mass, the radial offset of the centre of mass from the beam end It is shown that for certain combinations of the system parameters a ‘tuned’ state (analogous to whirling of a shaft) is possible. It is also shown (hat for some combinations a natural frequency is zero (borderline of instability) even though the axial force distribution in the beam is tensile throughout. Negative centre of mass offset is a necessary but not sufficient condition for zero frequency to occur.

Vibrations of an intermediately supported U-bend tube fall into two independent classes as an incomplete ring of single span does, namely, the in-plane vibration and the coupled twist-bending out-of-plane vibration. Natural frequencies may be expressed in terms of a coefficient p which depends on the stiffness ratio k, the ratio of lengths of spans, and the supporting conditions. The effect of the torsional flexibility of a curved bar acts to release the bending stiffness of a straight beam and hence decrease the natural frequency. Some conclusions for an incomplete ring of single span may not be equally well applicable to the U-tube case due to the effects of intermediate supports and the presence of the supporting straight segments. Results of the analytical predictions and the experimental tests of an intermediately supported U-tube are in good agreement.

Cracks and voids are common defects in rotating systems and are a precursor to fatigue-induced failure. Identifying the presence and growth of cracks is a critical concept for the health monitoring and diagnostics of such systems. A combined computational and experimental study of the vibration characteristics of a composite hub flywheel rotor system with a cracked hub disk is presented. First, experimental testing of both in-plane and out-of-plane vibration characteristics using a rotor with a composite disk hub supporting a relatively massive rim was conducted. A crack was deliberately introduced into the hub disk during fabrication. Based upon these results, a finite element (FEA) model was developed to further explore the relationship between natural frequencies and crack properties. Finally, a simplified theoretical model for the primary in-plane vibration mode was developed and used in a series of parametric studies. Good agreement was found between the model predictions and the experimental results. It was observed that the presence of a crack tends to affect both the magnitudes and distribution of the rotor natural frequencies. Certain primary frequencies for rotors with a crack are smaller than for those without a crack. In addition, the frequency values of associated with the “in-crack” direction are generally smaller than those associated with the “off-crack” direction, introducing a non-symmetry into the rotordynamics which can serve as an indicator for rotor health monitoring.

The geometrical properties of vibration modes of a single rigid body with one plane of symmetry are presented. When in-plane vibration modes are represented by the axes normal to the plane of symmetry, three intersecting points of those axes and the plane of symmetry constitute two triangles whose orthocentres are coincident with the mass centre and planar couple point, while the induced wrenches of three out-of-plane modes are found to form two triangles whose orthocentres are lying on the mass centre and the perpendicular translation point. Examining these triangles reveals that the triangular areas are proportional to the distributions of the mass and stiffness in the vibrating system and the shapes of the triangles are related to the natural frequencies. A numerical example is provided to verify the proposed findings.

This paper develops active controllers for the out-of-plane vibration of a flexible cable using boundary actuators and sensors. An exact model knowledge controller exponentially stabilizes the cable displacement assuming known system parameters. An adaptive controller asymptotically stabilizes the cable displacement while compensating for parametric uncertainty in the actuator mass and cable tension. The performance of the controllers is experimentally demonstrated.

An analysis is presented for the free out-of-plane vibration of a circular ring elastically supported against deflection, rotation, and torsion at several points located at equal angular intervals. The equations of out-of-plane vibration of the ring is expressed as a matrix differential equation by using the transfer matrix, the solution to which is conveniently given by infinite series. The vibrations arising in the ring are classified into several types, for each of which the natural frequencies and the mode shapes are calculated numerically up to higher modes.

The governing differential equations for the out-of-plane, free vibration of circular curved beams resting on elastic foundations are derived and solved numerically. The formulation takes into consideration the effects of rotary inertia and transverse shear deformation. The lowest three natural frequencies are calculated for beams with hinged–hinged, hinged-clamped, and clamped–clamped end constraints. The effects of various system parameters as well as rotary inertia and shear deformation on the natural frequencies are investigated.

The free vibration of a flexible manipulator that is carrying a rigid payload at the tip is examined. The centre of mass of the payload may not coincide with the point of attachment to the manipulator. The manipulator is modelled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam and it undergoes both out-of-plane and in-plane elastic flexural deformations in conjunction with torsional deformation. The explicit expression of the characteristic (or frequency) equation is presented and a parametric study is provided.

Abstract This paper is concerned with the vibrations of an Euler-Bernoulli stepped cantilever, clamped to a hub rotating at a constant speed. The system parameters are: the speed of rotation of the hub, the position of the step, the ratio of the mass per unit length of the two portions of the beam and the ratio of the flexural rigidity. Analytical solution of the mode shape differential equations for out-of-plane vibrations (normal to the plane of rotation) is developed. The frequency equation is expressed as a 4th order determinant equated to zero. A scheme is presented to derive the natural frequencies. The first three frequencies are tabulated for various combinations of the system parameters. Published results (which were obtained via finite element procedure) are compared with the analytical results.

As there is a gap in literature about out-of-plane vibrations of curved and variable cross-sectioned beams, the aim of this study is to analyze the free out-of-plane vibrations of curved beams which are symmetrically and nonsymmetrically tapered. Out-of-plane free vibration of curved uniform and tapered beams with additional mass is also investigated. Finite element method is used for all analyses. Curvature type is assumed to be circular. For the different boundary conditions, natural frequencies of both symmetrical and unsymmetrical tapered beams are given together with that of uniform tapered beam. Bending, torsional, and rotary inertia effects are considered with respect to no-shear effect. Variations of natural frequencies with additional mass and the mass location are examined. Results are given in tabular form. It is concluded that (i) for the uniform tapered beam there is a good agreement between the results of this study and that of literature and (ii) for the symmetrical curved tapered beam there is also a good agreement between the results of this study and that of a finite element model by using MSC.Marc. Results of out-of-plane free vibration of symmetrically tapered beams for specified boundary conditions are addressed.
