In this study, the vibration characteristics of a functionally graded rotating hollow disk with the circumferential surface crack are investigated. In order to simplify the problem, the circumferential crack of the rotating hollow disk is modeled as circumferential step indentation. The Galerkin Method is used to obtain the radial and hoop stresses for disks with clamped edge at the inner radius. Finite Difference scheme is adopted to solve the partial differential equation of motion of the rotating hollow disk to obtain the mode shapes and the Campbell Diagram. The first critical speed, which is one of the important parameters limiting the performance of the rotating disk, was obtained from the Campbell Diagram. The results show that the crack will reduce the stiffness and the critical speed of the rotating disk. Critical speed increases with decreasing the distance from inner radius to the crack and decreases with increasing crack depth. Furthermore, considering the functionally graded disk, the distribution of elastic modulus does not change significantly the effects of circumferential cracks on the vibration characteristics of the rotating.

The vibration characteristics of a circumferentially cracked rotating disk are investigated. The disk is assumed to be axisymmetric, flexible and clamped at the center. The crack increases the local flexibility of the disk at the crack location and is modeled as linear and torsional springs, connecting the two segments of the disk. The spring constants are evaluated by considering crack opening displacements due to bending moment and shear force at the crack location. The equations of motion of two segments of the disk, for disk operating in vacuum as well as subjected to shear fluid flow are developed. Using the Finite Difference Technique, the coupled systems of equations are solved and the natural frequencies and mode shapes are obtained. The mode shapes are seen to be comparatively flattened in the inner region of the disk separated by the crack and heightened towards the periphery of the disk. Shear fluid loading reduces the critical speeds and results in a quicker onset of instability. The degree of instability caused by the crack is a function of crack depth and location. Critical speeds increase with increasing crack distance from the central clamp and decrease with increasing crack depth.

Displacement and stress fields in a functionally graded (FG) fiber-reinforced rotating disk of nonuniform thickness subjected to angular deceleration are obtained. The disk has a central hole, which is assumed to be mounted on a rotating shaft. Unidirectional fibers are considered to be circumferentially distributed within the disk with a variable volume fraction along the radius. The governing equations for displacement and stress fields are derived and solved using finite difference method. The results show that for disks with fiber rich at the outer radius, the displacement field is lower in radial direction but higher in circumferential direction compared to the disk with the fiber rich at the inner radius. The circumferential stress value at the outer radius is substantially higher for disk with fiber rich at the outer radius compared to the disk with the fiber rich at the inner radius. It is also observed a considerable amount of compressive stress developed in the radial direction in a region close to the outer radius. These compressive stresses may prevent any crack growth in the circumferential direction of such disks. For disks with fiber rich at the inner radius, the presence of fibers results in minimal changes in the displacement and stress fields when compared to a homogenous disk made from the matrix material. In addition, we concluded that disk deceleration has no effect on the radial and hoop stresses. However, deceleration will affect the shear stress. Tsai–Wu failure criterion is evaluated for decelerating disks. For disks with fiber rich at the inner radius, the failure is initiated between inner and outer radii. However, for disks with fiber rich at the outer radius, the failure location depends on the fiber distribution.

Abstract The partial differential equation of motion of an axially moving beam with spatially varying geometric, mass and material properties has been derived. Using the theory of linear time-varying systems, a general algorithm has been developed to compute natural frequencies, mode shapes, and the critical speed for stability. Numerical results from the new method are presented for beams with spatially varying rectangular cross sections with sinusoidal variation in thickness and sine-squared variation in width. They are also compared to those from the Galerkin method. It has been found that critical speed of the beam can be significantly reduced by non-uniformity in a beam’s cross section.

This research has been conducted to approach second-order shear deformation theory (SSDT) to analysis vibration characteristics of Functionally Graded Plates (FGP’s). Material properties in FGP's were assumed to be temperature dependent and graded along the thickness using a simple power law distribution in term of the volume fractions of the constituents. FGP was subjected to a linear and nonlinear temperature rise. The energy method was chosen to derive the equilibrium equations. The solution was based on the Fourier series that satisfy the simply supported boundary condition (Navier's method). Numerical results indicated the effect of material composition, plate geometry, and temperature fields on the vibration characteristics and mode shapes. The results revealed that, the temperature field and volume fraction distribution had significant effect on the vibration of FGPs. It was observed the second order theory was very close to the other shear deformation theorem as reported in the literature.

We studied the stress field and vibration characteristics of functionally graded rotating disks by solving the governing equation of motion using the finite difference scheme. The material was assumed to have a constant Poisson’s ratio with the elastic modulus varying as a power law function of the disk radius. Such a material could be developed by using particle reinforced composites with various reinforcements or reinforcement volume fraction. The results show that the first critical speed of the rotating disk could be increased by using FGMs. The first critical speed is greater for disks having higher elastic modulus at the outer radius. However, the disk may be unstable for certain distribution functions.

The aim of this article is to find an exact analytical solution for free vibration characteristics of thin functionally graded rectangular plates with different boundary conditions. The governing equations of motion are obtained based on the classical plate theory. Using an analytical method, three partial differential equations of motion are reformulated into two new decoupled equations. Based on the Navier solution, a closed-form solution is presented for natural frequencies of functionally graded simply supported rectangular plates. Then, considering Levy-type solution, natural frequencies of functionally graded plates are presented for various boundary conditions. Three mode shapes of a functionally graded rectangular plate are also presented for different boundary conditions. In addition, the effects of aspect ratio, thickness—length ratio, power law index, and boundary conditions on the vibration characteristics of functionally graded rectangular plates are discussed in details. Finally, it has been shown that the effects of in-plane displacements on natural frequencies of functionally graded plates under different boundary conditions have been studied.

Free vibration analysis of a single edge cracked multi-layered symmetric sandwich stepped Timoshenko beams, made of functionally graded materials, is studied using finite element method and linear elastic fracture mechanic theory. The cantilever functionally graded beam consists of 50 layers, assumed that the second stage of the beam (step part) is created by machining. Thus, providing the material continuity between the two beam stages. It is assumed that material properties vary continuously, along the thickness direction according to the exponential and power laws. A developed MATLAB code is used to find the natural frequencies of three types of the stepped beam, concluding a good agreement with the known data from the literature, supported also by ANSYS software in data verification. In the study, the effects of the crack location, crack depth, power law gradient index, different material distributions, different stepped length, different cross-sectional geometries on natural frequencies and mode shapes are analysed in detail.

Abstract The partial differential equation of motion of an axially moving beam with spatially varying geometric, mass and material properties has been derived. Using the theory of linear time-varying systems and numerical optimization, a general algorithm has been developed to compute complex eigenvalues/natural frequencies, mode shapes, and the critical speed for stability. Numerical results from the new method are presented for beams with spatially varying rectangular cross sections with sinusoidal variation in thickness and sine-squared variation in width. They are also compared to those from the Galerkin method. It has been found that critical speed of the beam can be significantly reduced by non-uniformity in a beam's cross section.

Purpose: The operation of engineering structures may cause various type of damages like cracks, alterations. Such kind of defects can lead to change in vibration characteristics of cantilever beam. The superposition of frequency causes resonance leading to amplitude built up and failure of beam. The current research investigates the effect of crack dimensional parameters on vibrational characteristics of cantilever beam. Design/methodology/approach: The CAD design and FE simulation studies are conducted in ANSYS 20 simulation package. The natural frequencies, mode shapes and response surface plots are generated, and comparative studies are performed. The effect of crack dimensional parameters is then investigated using Taguchi Design of Experiments. The statistical method of central composite design (CCD) scheme in Response Surface Optimization is used to generated various design points based on variation of crack width and crack depth. Findings: The research findings have shown that crack depth or crack height have significant effect on magnitude of deformation and natural frequency. The deformation is minimum at 0.009 m crack height and reaches maximum value at 0.011 m crack height. Research limitations/implications: The crack induced in the cantilever beam needs to be repaired properly in order to avoid crack propagation due to resonance. The present study enabled to determine frequencies of external excitation which should be avoided. The limitation of current research is the type of crack studied which is transverse type. The effect of longitudinal cracks on vibration characteristics is not investigated. Practical implications: The study on mass participation factor has shown maximum value for torsional frequency which signifies that any external excitation along this direction should be avoided which could cause resonance and lead to amplitude build up. Originality/value: The beams are used in bridge girders and other civil structures which are continuously exposed to moist climate. The moisture present in the air causes corrosion which initiates crack. This crack propagates and alters the natural frequency of beam.
