Governing Differential Equation

The initial stresses due to dead loads have an influence on the natural frequencies of bridges. In this paper, a dynamic stiffness-based method is proposed for determining the natural frequencies of uniform elastic beams with allowance for the dead load effect. Firstly, the governing differential equation including the effect of dead loads is derived. Next, the analytical dynamic stiffness matrix is obtained by applying the displacements and forces boundary conditions at the ends of the beam. In order to solve analytically the governing differential equation, the modified dynamic stiffness matrix is defined by converting the governing quasi-static boundary value problem into an equivalent set of initial value problems. Finally, the Wittrick–Williams algorithm is implemented to extract the natural frequencies from the modified dynamic stiffness matrix. Numerical examples are presented and corresponding parameter studies have been performed to illustrate the applicability and reliability of the proposed method. It is demonstrated that the proposed dynamic stiffness matrix-based method is effective even though the beam is considered as a single element without adding additional nodes.

Vibration Modeling

The effects of spindles vibrational behavior on the stability lobes and the Chatter behavior of machine tools have been established. The service life has been observed to reducethe system natural frequencies. An analytical model of a multi-segment spinning spindle, based on the Dynamic Stiffness Matrix (DSM) formulation, exact within the limits of the Euler-Bernoulli beam bending theory, is developed. The system exhibits coupled Bending-Bending (B-B) vibration and its natural frequencies are found to decrease with increasing spinning speed. The bearings were included in the model usingboth rigid, simply supported, frictionless pins and flexible linear spring elements. The linear spring element stiffness is then calibrated so that the fundamental frequency of the system matches the nominal value.

Helical Springs

In this study, the dynamic stiffness method is employed for the free vibration analysis of helical springs. This work gives the exact solutions for the natural frequencies of helical beams having arbitrary shapes, such as conical, hyperboloidal, and barrel. Both the cross-section dimensions and the shape of the beam can vary along the axis of the curved member as polynomial expressions. The problem is described by six differential equations. These are second order equations with variable coefficients, with six unknown displacements, three translations, and three rotations at every point along the member. The proposed solution is based on a new finite-element method for deriving the exact dynamic stiffness matrix for the member, including the effects of the axial and the shear deformations and the rotational inertia effects for any desired precision. The natural frequencies are found as the frequencies that cause the determinant of the dynamic stiffness matrix to become zero. Then the mode shape for every natural frequency is found. Examples are given for beams and helical springs with different shape, which can vary along the axis of the member. It is shown that the present numerical results agree well with previously published numerical and experimental results.

Dynamic Stiffness Method

The exact vibration frequencies of continuous beams with internal releases are found using the dynamic stiffness method. Two types of releases are considered: hinge and sliding discontinuities. First, the exact dynamic stiffness matrix for a beam element with a release is derived and then used in the assembly of the structure dynamic stiffness matrix. The natural frequencies are found as the values of frequency that make this matrix singular. Then the mode shapes are found exactly. Examples are given for continuous beams with different releases.

Bladed Disk Assembly

The problem of calculating the natural frequencies of a practical rotating bladed disk assembly is solved by use of a new dynamic substructuring method employing the free modes of the disk and the clamped-free modes of the blade. The bladed disk may have lacing-wires at any radius. The lacing-wire, or any other general elastic connection element, is assumed to extend around the whole circumference. Hence, the assembly fulfills the requirements for a circumferentially periodic structure. Centrifugal effects are included. The free modes of the disk are used to describe the dynamics of the disk by a 4 × 4 receptance matrix. The row of blades is described by a dynamic stiffness matrix of order 4 + 10l, where l is the number of lacing-wires. The dynamic stiffness matrix of the blading is formed directly from the modes of one single clamped-free blade without any lacing-wire. The lacing-wires are treated as elastic and massless. The zeroes of the resulting transcendental frequency determinant of order 4 + 10l are solved by the sign-count method. The calculation procedure has proved to be very efficient. Further, it enjoys the precious property of being automatic and infallible in the sense that there is no risk of missing any frequency whatever the spacing of natural frequencies. Experimentally found frequencies are compared to calculated ones.

Constant Axial Load

The effect of a constant axial load either tensile or compressive on the natural frequencies of uniform multi-span beams is presented. The proposed solution is based on the exact dynamic stiffness matrix for the member, for any desired precision. The natural frequencies are found as the frequencies that cause the determinant of the stiffness matrix to become zero. The influence of the axial load and variation of span ratios on the vibration frequencies for beams with up to 4 spans are studied, and presented in graphical forms.

This paper presents the formulation of dynamic stiffness matrix for the natural vibration analysis of porous power-law functionally graded Levy-type plate. In the process of formulating the dynamic stiffness matrix, Kirchhoff-Love plate theory in tandem with the notion of neutral surface has been taken on board. The developed dynamic stiffness matrix, a transcendental function of frequency, has been solved through the Wittrick–Williams algorithm. Hamilton’s principle is used to obtain the equation of motion and associated natural boundary conditions of porous power-law functionally graded plate. The variation across the thickness of the functionally graded plate’s material properties follows the power-law function. During the fabrication process, the microvoids and pores develop in functionally graded material plates. Three types of porosity distributions are considered in this article: even, uneven, and logarithmic. The eigenvalues computed by the dynamic stiffness matrix using Wittrick–Williams algorithm for isotropic, power-law functionally graded, and porous power-law functionally graded plate are juxtaposed with previously referred results, and good agreement is found. The significance of various parameters of plate vis-à-vis aspect ratio ( L/b), boundary conditions, volume fraction index ( p), porosity parameter ( e), and porosity distribution on the eigenvalues of the porous power-law functionally graded plate is examined. The effect of material density ratio and Young’s modulus ratio on the natural vibration of porous power-law functionally graded plate is also explained in this article. The results also prove that the method provided in the present work is highly accurate and computationally efficient and could be confidently used as a reference for further study of porous functionally graded material plate.
