Thin Walled

Differential equations describing the coupling of ordinary bending motion with cross-sectional distortion are obtained for thin-walled beams of circular-arc cross-section using Hamilton's principle. In deriving the theory the cross-sectional deformation is assumed to take the form of the characteristic functions of a curved beam of the shape of the section. The variation with wavelength of the frequency spectra which result from the coupling is obtained. Experimental results showing the effects of the variation of the parameters of the beam geometry on the natural frequencies are in reasonable agreement with the theory.

Approximate differential equations describing the bending vibration of beams of thin-walled H section, in which the distortion of the cross-section in its own plane is taken into account, are derived from Hamilton's principle using an assumed form for the cross-section deformation. Only the simplest of the cross-sectional deformation configurations which will couple with ordinary bending is considered. The variation with wavelength of the two spectra of frequencies which result from this coupling of the bending and cross-sectional motions is shown for several section geometries. Theoretical curves show reasonable agreement with experimental results from free beams.

Variable cross-section rods are used in many parts and mechanisms. For example, conical rods are widely used in percussion mechanisms. The strength of such parts directly depends on the natural frequencies of longitudinal vibrations. The paper presents a method that allows numerically finding the natural frequencies of longitudinal vibrations of an elastic rod with a variable cross section. This method is based on representing the cross-sectional area as an exponential function of a polynomial of degree n. Based on this idea, it was possible to formulate the Sturm-Liouville problem with boundary conditions of the third kind. The linearly independent functions of the general solution have the form of a power series in the variables x and λ, as a result of which the order of the characteristic equation depends on the choice of the number of terms in the series. The presented approach differs from the works of other authors both in the formulation and in the solution method. In the work, a rod with a rigidly fixed left end is considered, fixing on the right end can be either free, or elastic or rigid. The first three natural frequencies for various cross-sectional profiles are given. From the analysis of the numerical results it follows that in a rigidly fixed rod with thinning in the middle part, the first natural frequency is noticeably higher than that of a conical rod. It is shown that with an increase in the rigidity of fixation at the right end, the natural frequencies increase for all cross section profiles. The results of the study can be used to solve inverse problems of restoring the cross-sectional profile from a finite set of natural frequencies.

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.

In this experimental work, strength results obtained on short columns subjected to concentric loads are presented. The specimens used in the tests have made of cold-rolled, thin-walled steel. Twenty short columns of the same cross-section area and wall thickness have been tested as follows: 8 empty and 12 filled with ordinary concrete. In the aim to determine the column section geometry with the highest resistance, three different types of cross-sections have been compared: rectangular, I-shaped unreinforced and, reinforced with 100 mm spaced transversal links. The parameters studied are the specimen height and the cross-sectional steel geometry. The registered experimental results have been compared to the ultimate loads intended by Eurocode 3 for empty columns and by Eurocode 4 for compound columns. These results showed that a concrete-filled composite column had improved strength compared to the empty case. Among the three cross-section types, it has been found that I-section reinforced is the most resistant than the other two sections. Moreover, the load capacity and mode of failure have been influenced by the height of the column. Also, it had noted that the experimental strengths of the tested columns don’t agree well with the EC3 and EC4 results.

AbstractThe paper addresses sensitivity analysis of free torsional vibration frequencies of thin-walled beams of bisymmetric open cross section made of unidirectional fibre-reinforced laminate. The warping effect and the axial end load are taken into account. The consideration is based upon the classical theory of thin-walled beams of non-deformable cross section. The first-order sensitivity variation of the frequencies is derived with respect to the design variable variations. The beam cross-sectional dimensions and the material properties are assumed the design variables undergoing variations. The paper includes a numerical example related to simply supported I-beams and the distributions of sensitivity functions of frequencies along the beam axis. Accuracy is discussed of the first-order sensitivity analysis in the assessment of frequency changes due to the fibre volume fraction variable variations, and the effect of axial loads is discussed too.

The topic of this study concerns principally representative models of some elliptical thin-walled anatomic vessels and polymeric tubes under uniform negative transmural pressure p (internal pressure minus external pressure). The ellipse’s ellipticity ko, defined as the major-to-minor axis ratio, varies from 1 up to 10. As p decreases from zero, at first the cross-section becomes somewhat oval, then the opposite sides touch in one point at the first-contact pressure pc. If p is lowered beneath pc, the curvature of the cross-section at the point of contact decreases until it becomes zero at the osculation pressure or the first line-contact pressure p1. For p<p1, the contact occurs along a straight-line segment, the length of which increases as p decreases. The pressures pc and p1 are determined numerically for various values of the wall thickness of the tubes. The nature of contact is especially described. The solution of the related nonlinear, two-boundary-values problem is compared with previous experimental results which give the luminal cross-sectional area (from two tubes), and the area of the mid-cross-section (from a third tube).

This warier summarises some recent work on lone gravity waves on still water m channels of arbitrary constant cross-section. Theoretical results have been obtained for both straight and curved channels. Some experimental work has been performed m straight trapezoidal channels and shows reasonable agreement with theory. For straight channels some details of the second approximation are given, and the cases where the approximation breaks down are indicated. For curved channels it is found that the effect of channel curvature is more pronounced when the cross-sectional shane of the channel is not symmetric with resnect to its centre-line.

Thin Walled

A semi-analytical finite element (SAFE) formulation is proposed to study the wave propagation characteristics of thin-walled members with an infinite length in the longitudinal (axial) direction. Common structural members are considered as an assemblage of thin plates. The ratio of the thickness of the plate to the wavelength in the axial direction is assumed to be small so that the plane-stress assumption is valid. Employing a finite element modeling in the transverse direction circumvents difficulties associated with the cross-sectional profile of the member. The dynamic behavior is approximated by dividing the plates into several line (one-dimensional) segments and representing the generalized displacement distribution through the segment by polynomial interpolation functions. By applying Hamilton’s principle, the dispersion equation is obtained as a standard algebraic eigenvalue problem. The reasonably good accuracy of the method is demonstrated for the lowest modes by comparing, where feasible, the results with analytical solutions. To demonstrate the method’s versatility, frequency spectra are also presented for I and L shaped cross sections.

This paper deals with the Saint-Venant’s torsion of thin-walled isotropic nonhomogeneous open elliptical cross section whose shear modulus depends on the one of the curvilinear coordinates which define the cross-sectional area of the beam. The approximate solution of torsion problem is obtained by variational method. The usual simplification assumptions are used to solve the uniform torsion problem of bars with thin-walled elliptical cross-sections. An example illustrates the application of the derived formulae of shearing stress and torsional rigidity.
