Free Vibration Response

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.

Dynamical Properties

The paper deals with experimental estimation of the frequencies of free vibrations for composite plates with damage. Two different glass-epoxy composite plates with damage were tested and their mechanical behavior was compared with their non-damaged counterparts. Dynamical properties of the tested structures were examined with the Laser Scanning Vibrometer. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) was performed simultaneously for free vibration frequencies and mode shapes. The numerical results agreed well with the experiment.

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.

This paper studies natural frequencies and mode shapes of a glide head with a piezoelectric transducer (PZT) through calibrated experiments and a finite element analysis. In the experiments, the PZT transducer served as an actuator exciting the glide head from 100 kHz to 1.3 MHz, and a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) measured displacement of the glide head at the inner or outer rail. The natural frequencies were measured through PZT impedance and frequency response functions from PZT to LDV. In the finite element analysis, the glide head was meshed by brick elements. The finite element results show that there are two types of vibration modes: slider modes and PZT modes. Only the slider modes are important to glide head applications. Moreover, natural frequencies predicted from the finite element analysis agree well with the experimental results within 5% of error. Finally, the finite element analysis identifies four critical slider dimensions whose tolerance will significantly vary the natural frequencies: PZT bonding length, wing thickness, slider thickness, and air bearing recess depth.

Laminated Plate

Free vibration behavior was developed under the ratio of critical buckling temperature of laminated composite thin plates with the general elastic boundary condition. The equations of motion were found based on classical laminated plate theory (CLPT) while the solution functions consists of trigonometric function and a continuous function that is added to guarantee the sufficient smoother of the so-named remaining displacement function at the boundaries, in this research, a modified Fourier series were used, a generalized procedure solution was developed using Ritz method combined with the imaginary spring technique. The influences of many design parameters such as angles of layers, aspect ratio, thickness ratio, and ratio of initial in- plane thermal load in addition to different boundary conditions on the natural frequencies of laminated plate is analyzed. In general, the changes of fundamental natural frequency is inversely proportional with the ratio of thermal buckling load, also most parameters aspect ratio effect on the natural frequency about 35 – 40%. The present results were compared with those obtained by other researchers, and show good agreement.

Free Vibration Response

The free vibration response of shear-flexible moderately-thick orthotropic cylindrical shell panels, with fixed edges, is investigated using an analytical approach. The governing partial differential equations are developed based on Sander's kinematics and are solved using generalized Navier's with a boundary continuous double Fourier series expansion. The frequencies and mode shapes from the analytical solution for various parametric ratios, including degree of orthotropy (stiffness ratio), radius-to-segment ratio and segment-to-thickness ratio are compared with the finite element solutions that are based on an eight-node 48 degrees of freedom shell element. The rate of convergence of the analytical solution method with respect to the number of Fourier series terms, for various parametric ratios, is presented. The results of the analytical solution are very comparable to that of the finite element solution. It is clear that the presented analytical solution can be used as a benchmark to calibrate and validate numerical and finite element solutions that usually involve approximation to shell theories.

The Finite Element Analysis

The free vibration analysis of a uniform beam carrying a lumped mass with the inclusion of both translational and rotary inertias are performed, and a closed-form expression of the frequency sensitivity with respect to the attachment location of the lumped mass is formulated using the discrete method upon the finite element analysis. By virtually introducing additional degrees of freedom at the mass-attached point, the first-order derivative of the natural frequency can be determined straightforwardly. Comparisons of numerical results from two typical examples show that the rotary inertia of a lumped mass may impose important effects on the natural frequency and its sensitivity. Neglecting the rotary inertia may lead to inaccurate or even erroneous solutions of the beam’s dynamics.

Free Vibration Response

The interaction between fluid and structure affects the vibration response of the structure due to the additional hydrodynamic pressure. These effects are accounted for by incorporating the so-called added mass into the vibration equation of the structure. In this paper, a containership was used to study the impact of the added mass on its free vibration response. The natural frequencies of the ship decrease after including the added mass in the vibration analysis. It is shown that the frequency-ascending sequence of the wet mode shapes, for which the added mass is accounted for, may differ from that obtained for the dry state of the ship. Also, the effects of different draft levels on the mode shapes of the ship are reported. These results provide a better insight for designing ships based on their wet-state frequencies and mode shapes, which is the typical operation condition when sailing in the open seas.
