An investigation has been made into the effect of residual stresses on the vibration characteristics of a thin rectangular plate elastically restrained against rotation along all edges using an energy method. General frequency equations with and without the effect of residual stresses have been obtained. Exact frequency equations with and without the effect of residual stresses for the cases: C-C-C-C, S-S-S-S, S-S-C-S, C-S-C-S, S-S-C-C, C-C-C-S have also been obtained. Exact equations were derived including the effect of the position of welding along the width of the plate for all cases considered. The validity of the equations obtained was checked with available special solutions with a good agreement.

Abstract Lattice sandwich beams are often subjected to vibrations when they are used. The aim of this study was to explore the vibration characteristics of the octet-truss lattice core sandwich beam by translating discrete octet-truss core to the continuous homogenization material. The natural frequencies of which are obtained by theoretical calculation and numerical simulation. The theoretical solutions are in good agreement with the numerical results. It demonstrates that the theoretical approach is effective to compute the natural frequency. Furthermore, the influences of truss member radius and thin sheets ply on the natural frequencies are also discussed. The outcomes indicate that the octet-truss lattice core sandwich beam’s natural frequencies are controlled via selecting the appropriate truss member radius and the face sheets thickness.

Abstract Natural frequencies and vibrating motions are determined in terms of the material and geometric properties of a radial tire modeled as a thin ring on an elastic foundation. Experimental checks of resonant frequencies show good agreement. Forced vibration solutions obtained are shown to consist of a superposition of resonant vibrations, each rotating around the tire at a rate depending on the mode number and the tire rotational speed. Theoretical rolling speeds that are upper bounds at which standing waves occur are determined and checked experimentally. Digital Fourier transform, transfer function, and modal analysis techniques used to determine the resonant mode shapes of a radial tire reveal that antiresonances are the primary transmitters of vibration to the tire axle.

Rotating systems components such as rotors, have dynamic characteristics that are of great importance to understand because they may cause failure of turbomachinery. Therefore, it is required to study a dynamic model to predict some vibration characteristics, in this case, the natural frequencies and mode shapes (both of free vibration) of a centrifugal compressor shaft. The peculiarity of the dynamic model proposed is that using frequency and displacements values obtained experimentally, it is possible to calculate the mass and stiffness distribution of the shaft, and then use these values to estimate the theoretical modal parameters. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the shaft were obtained with experimental modal analysis by using the impact test. The results predicted by the model are in good agreement with the experimental test. The model is also flexible with other geometries and has a great time and computing performance, which can be evaluated with respect to other commercial software in the future.

This work investigates the natural vibration characteristics of free-form shells when considering the influence of uncertainties, including initial geometric imperfection, shell thickness deviation, and elastic modulus deviation. Herein, free-form shell models are generated while using a self-coded optimization algorithm. The Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) method is used to draw the samplings of uncertainties with respect to their stochastic probability models. ANSYS finite element (FE) software is adopted to analyze the natural vibration characteristics and compute the natural frequencies. The mean values, standard deviations, and cumulative distributions functions (CDFs) of the first three natural frequencies are obtained. The partial correlation coefficient is adopted to rank the significances of uncertainty factors. The study reveals that, for the free-form shells that were investigated in this study, the natural frequencies is a random quantity with a normal distribution; elastic modulus deviation imposes the greatest effect on natural frequencies; shell thickness ranks the second; geometrical imperfection ranks the last, with a much lower weight than the other two factors, which illustrates that the shape of the studied free-form shells is robust in term of natural vibration characteristics; when the supported edges are fixed during the shape optimization, the stochastic characteristics do not significantly change during the shape optimization process.

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.

In this paper, the reduction in the natural frequencies of a pump-turbine impeller prototype when submerged in water has been investigated. The impeller, with a diameter of 2.870m belongs to a pump-turbine unit with a power of around 100MW. To analyze the influence of the added mass, both experimental tests and numerical simulations have been carried out. The experiment has been performed in air and in water. From the frequency response functions the modal characteristics such as natural frequencies and mode shapes have been obtained. A numerical simulation using FEM (Finite Elements Model) was done using the same boundary conditions as in the experiment (impeller in air and surrounded by a mass of water). The modal behaviour has also been calculated. The numerical results were compared with the available experimental results. The comparison shows a good agreement in the natural frequency values both in air and in water. The reduction in frequency due to the added mass effect of surrounding fluid has been calculated. The physics of this phenomenon due to the fluid structure interaction has been investigated from the analysis of the mode-shapes.

This paper deals with the fracture behaviour of layered ceramic composite with residual stresses. The main goal is to investigate the effect of residual stresses and material interfaces on crack propagation by more complex 3D finite element models. The crack behaviour was described by analytical procedures based on linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) and generalized LEFM. The influence of laminate composition with residual stresses on critical values for crack propagation through the laminate interfaces was also determined. Good agreement has been found to exist between numerical results and experimental data. The results obtained can be used for a design of new layered composites with improved resistance against crack propagation.

Dynamic characteristics of numerical control (NC) machine tools, such as natural frequency and vibration property, directly affect machining efficiency and finished surface quality. In general, low-order natural frequencies of critical components have significant influences on machine tool’s performances. The headstock is the most important component of the machine tool. The reliability, cutting stability, and machining accuracy of a machining center largely depend on the structure and dynamic characteristics of the headstock. First, in order to obtain the natural frequencies and vibration characteristics of the headstock of a vertical machining center, modal test and vibration test in free running and cutting conditions were carried out by means of the dynamic signal collection and analysis system. According to the modal test, the first six natural frequencies of the headstock were obtained, which can not only guide the working speed, but also act as the reference of structural optimization aiming at frequency-shift. Secondly, by means of the vibration test, the vibration characteristics of the headstock were obtained and the main vibration sources were found out. Finally the corresponding vibration reduction plans were proposed in this paper. That provides the reference for improving the performance of the overall unit.

Free-vibration characteristics of a thin-walled, open cross-section beam, with unconstrained damping layers at the flanges, are investigated. Both uncoupled transverse vibration and the coupled bending-torsion oscillations, of a beam of a top-hat section, are considered. Numerical results are presented for natural frequencies and modal loss factors of simply supported and clamped-clamped beams.
