Deepwater surface BOP (surface blowout prevention, SBOP) drilling differs from conventional riser drilling system. To analyze the dynamic response of this system, the riser-conductor was considered as a beam with varied cross-sections subjected to loads throughout its length; then an equation of motion and free vibration of the riser-conductor string for SBOP was developed. The finite difference method was used to solve the equation of motion in time domain and a semianalytical approach based on the concept of section division and continuation was proposed to analyze free vibration. Case simulation results show that the method established for SBOP system natural frequency analysis is reasonable. The mode shapes of the riser-conductor are different between coupled and decoupled methods. The soil types surrounding the conductor under mudline have tiny effect on the natural frequency. Given that some papers have discussed the response of the SBOP riser, this work focused on the comparison of the dynamic responses on the wellhead and conductor with variable conditions. The dynamic lateral displacement, the bending moment, and the parameters’ sensitivity of the wellhead and the conductor were analyzed.

In this study, the effect of crack on free vibration of a large deflected cantilever plate, which forms the case of a pre-stressed curved plate, is investigated. A distributed load is applied at the free edge of a thin cantilever plate. Then, the loading edge of the deflected plate is fixed to obtain a pre-stressed curved plate. The large deflection equation provides the non - linear deflection curve of the large deflected flexible plate. The thin curved plate is modeled by using the finite element method with a four-node quadrilateral element. Three different aspect ratios are used to examine the effect of crack. The effect of crack and its location on the natural frequency parameter is given in tables and graphs. Also, the natural frequency parameters of the present model are compared with the finite element software results to verify the reliability and validity of the present model. This study shows that the different mode shapes are occurred due to the change of load parameter, and these different mode shapes cause a change in the effect of crack.

AbstractRecently, basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) is acknowledged as an outstanding material for the strengthening of existing concrete structure, especially it was being used in marine vehicles, aerospace, automotive and nuclear engineering. Most of the structures were subjected to severe dynamic loading during their service life that may induce vibration of the structures. However, free vibration studied on the basalt laminates composite plates with elliptical cut-out and correlation of natural frequency with buckling load has been very limited. Therefore, effects of the elliptical hole on the natural frequency of basalt/epoxy composite plates was performed in this study. Effects of stacking sequence (θ), elliptical hole inclination (ϕ), hole geometric ratio (a/b) and position of the elliptical hole were considered. The numerical modeling of free vibration analysis was based on the mechanical properties of BFRP obtained from the experiment. The natural frequencies as well as mode shapes of basalt laminates composite plates were numerically determined using the commercial program software (ABAQUS). Then, the determination of correlation of natural frequencies with buckling load was carried out. Results showed that elliptical hole inclination and fiber orientation angle induced the inverse proportion between natural frequency and buckling load.

In this work analytical solutions are developed to study the free vibration of composite beams under axial loading. The beam with a single delamination is modeled as four interconnected Euler-Bernoulli beams using the delamination as their boundary. The continuity and the equilibrium conditions are satisfied between the adjoining beams. The studies show that the sizes and the locations of the delaminations significantly influence the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the beam. A monotonic relation between the natural frequency and the axial load is predicted.

This paper deals with the finite element analysis of free vibration response of the delaminated composite plates. Free vibration analysis is performed by using ANSYS commercial software developing parametric input files. Natural frequency values and associated mode shapes of E-glass/epoxy composite delaminated plates are determined. Effects of delamination shape, dimension and location on the natural frequency and associated mode shapes are investigated and for the purpose of the observing the effect of the boundary conditions, cantilever and clamped-pinned delaminated composite plates are taken into consideration. Comparisons with the results in literature verify the validity of the developed models in this study. It is observed that the natural frequency decreases in the existence of the delamination and level of the decrease depends on the dimension, shape and location of the delamination.

AbstractNatural frequency analysis of anisotropic functionally graded material (FGM) annular sector plates on Winkler elastic foundations based on three-dimensional theory of elasticity was investigated. The three-dimensional graded finite element formulation was derived based on the principle of minimum potential energy and the Rayleigh-Ritz method. For an orthotropic FGM, the material properties were assumed to have in-plane polar orthotropy and transverse heterogeneity according to an exponential law, whereas the mass density was assumed to be constant. For an isotropic FGM, material properties varied continuously through the thickness direction according to a power-law distribution, whereas Poisson’s ratio was set to be constant. The effects of material gradient exponents, different sector angles, different thickness ratio, Winkler parameter and two different boundary conditions on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of FGM annular sector plates have been investigated. Numerical solution was compared with the result of an FGM annular circular plate, which showed good agreement.

The dynamic characteristic of a uniform rectangular plate with four boundary conditions and carrying three kinds of multiple concentrated element (rigidly attached point masses, linear springs and elastically mounted point masses) was investigated. Firstly, the closed-form solutions for the natural frequencies and the corresponding normal mode shapes of a rectangular ‘bare’ (or ‘unconstrained’) plate (without any attachments) with the specified boundary conditions were determined analytically. Next, by using these natural frequencies and normal mode shapes incorporated with the expansion theory, the equation of motion of the ‘constrained’ plate (carrying the three kinds of multiple concentrated element) were derived. Finally, numerical methods were used to solve this equation of motion to give the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the ‘constrained’ plate. To confirm the reliability of previous free vibration analysis results, a finite element analysis was also conducted. It was found that the results obtained from the above-mentioned two approaches were in good agreement. Compared with the conventional finite element method (FEM), the approach employed in this paper has the advantages of saving computing time and achieving better accuracy, as can be seen from the existing literature.

The mode shapes of a bridge are important modal properties for many purposes, such as damage detection and model updating. Traditional methods for constructing mode shapes often require installation of instruments on the bridge for collection of dynamic responses. However, these methods are not only costly but also inconvenient. Therefore, a method is developed for constructing the mode shapes of girder bridges using the dynamic responses extracted from a moving vehicle under impact excitation. This paper reports some numerical simulations based on finite element modeling. First, the dynamic responses of a moving vehicle under impact excitation are generated for simulation. Then the component response associated with each natural frequency of the bridge is extracted by using a suitable filter. Finally, the mode shape associated with each natural frequency identified is constructed from the extracted component response and its Hilbert transform pair. The proposed method uses only the information measured from the moving vehicle, which acts both as a sensor and an exciter. Moreover, the additional impact excitation on the vehicle helps to excite the bridge. This helps to improve the accuracy by overcoming the adverse effects of measurement noise and road surface roughness. The effects of measurement noise, road surface roughness and vehicle speed on the accuracy of results are evaluated. A numerical study is presented to verify the feasibility of the proposed method.

The finite element method is employed in this paper to investigate free-vibration problems of a spinning stepped Timoshenko beam consisting of a series of uniform segments. Each uniform segment is considered a substructure which may be modeled using beam finite elements of uniform cross section. Assembly of global equation of motion of the entire beam is achieved using Lagrange’s multiplier method. The natural frequencies and mode shapes are subsequently reduced with the help of linear transformations to a standard eigenvalue problem for which a set of natural frequencies and mode shapes may be easily obtained. Numerical results for an overhung stepped beam consisting of three uniform segments are obtained and presented as an illustrative example. [S00021-8936(01)00101-5]

This paper deals with the free vibration and buckling of heavy column, considering its own self-weight. The column has a regular polygonal cross-section with a constant area. The column is applied to an external axial load as well as the self-weight. The five end conditions of the column are considered. Based on equilibrium equations of the column element, differential equations governing the vibrational and buckled mode shapes of column are derived. In solution methods, differential equations are numerically integrated by the direct integration method and eigenvalues of the natural frequency, buckling load and self-weight buckling length are calculated by the determinant search method. The numerical results of this study were in good agreement with those of the reference. Parametric study of the end condition, side number and self-weight on the natural frequency and buckling load was carried out.

This paper presents approximate series solutions for nonlinear free vibration of suspended cables via the Lindstedt-Poincare method and homotopy analysis method, respectively. Firstly, taking into account the geometric nonlinearity of the suspended cable as well as the quasi-static assumption, a mathematical model is presented. Secondly, two analytical methods are introduced to obtain the approximate series solutions in the case of nonlinear free vibration. Moreover, small and large sag-to-span ratios and initial conditions are chosen to study the nonlinear dynamic responses by these two analytical methods. The numerical results indicate that frequency amplitude relationships obtained with different analytical approaches exhibit some quantitative and qualitative differences in the cases of motions, mode shapes, and particular sag-to-span ratios. Finally, a detailed comparison of the differences in the displacement fields and cable axial total tensions is made.
