Corrugated Shell

The paper deals with a relevant problem of shipbuilding, i.e. calculation of free and forced vibrations of pipeline compensatory bellows. These devices are used to reduce the vibration load caused by ship power machines. When analyzing the vibrations of the compensatory bellows, it is necessary to take into account the liquid contained in the bellows. In this work, the design model of the bellows is represented by a corrugated elastic shell as a material surface with five degrees of freedom. A variant of the classical theory of shells, built on the basis of Lagrangian mechanics, is used. The influence of the liquid is taken into account by two models. First, the liquid is considered to be ideal and incompressible and is considered through the attached mass to the shell. The shell is replaced by a cylindrical surface with a radius in the middle line of the corrugation. To account for the influence of the frequency of bellows oscillations on the attached inertia of the liquid in the calculation we also used the acoustic approximation; and derived a formula for a generalized attached mass of the ideal compressible liquid. The equations of the bellows oscillations under the periodic loading are obtained. The problem has been solved by the finite difference method. The values of natural frequencies of free vibrations are obtained for the compensatory bellows from the corrosion-resistant heat-resistant steel. It is shown that by taking account of the liquid, we significantly change the natural frequencies of the bellows. With high-frequency vibrations it is necessary to take into account the compressibility of the liquid. The problem of the forced vibrations of the bellows caused by a displacement of its end face by the harmonic law is solved. The internal forces and moments are determined, as well as occurring stresses by Mises criterion in the bellows. We found the critical value of the end face displacement at a frequency of 50 Hz, at which the bellows goes into a plastic state.

The effect of viscosity on the axisymmetric, forced vibrations of a fluid-filled, elastic, spherical shell is studied analytically. Necessary theory, using boundary layer approximation for the fluid as developed in a previous paper for free vibrations, has been extended to incorporate an external forcing excitation. Shell response, fluid loading, and energy dissipation rate are computed for radial, tangential, and combined force excitations. The essential feature of the modal and the total responses is determined by resonant frequencies and various vibration-absorbing frequencies. Frequency spectra for such frequencies, as well as various response curves, are presented in dimensionless forms to illustrate the characteristics of the solution.

The paper investigates free vibrations of an absolutely rigid body, supported by a set of linearly elastic springs and performing a plane-parallel motion. The proposed system has two degrees of freedom, which makes it elementary to determine the frequencies and modes of its natural oscillations by using exact analytical expressions. However, these expressions are rather cumbersome, which makes it difficult to study the behavior of frequencies and modes when the characteristics of the model change. Therefore, the aim of the work was to find out the qualitative properties of the modes of free vibrations depending on the elastic, inertial and geometric characteristics of the system, as well as to study the effect of changing the position of elastic supports on its natural frequencies. The main qualitative characteristic of the mode of natural vibrations of the system in consideration is the position of its node – a point that remains stationary during natural vibrations. For the practically important case of a system with two supports, it has been established in the work that, in the general case, of two modes corresponding to two different natural frequencies, one has a node located inside the gap between the supports, and the other – outside this gap. Analytical conditions are found that must be satisfied by the inertial and geometric characteristics of the system, which make it possible to determine which of the two modes corresponds to the internal position of the node. It is noted that these conditions do not depend on the stiffness of the supports. Analytical results were also obtained, allowing to determine a more accurate qualitative localization of the node. To clarify the behavior of natural frequencies when the position of the supports changes, an explicit expression is obtained for the derivative of the square of the natural frequency of the system with respect to the coordinate defining the position of the support. This expression can be used to solve a variety of problems related to the control and optimization of the operating modes of engineering structures subjected to dynamic, in particular periodic, effects. The results of the work were obtained using qualitative methods of the mathematical theory of oscillations. In particular, the theorem on the effect of imposing constraints on the natural frequencies of an elastic system is systematically used.

The aim of this work was to determine by vibration tests the longitudinal elastic modulus and shear modulus of welded joints by flux cored arc welding. These two material properties are characteristic elastic constants of tensile stress respectively torsion stress and can be determined by several non-destructive methods. One of the latest non-destructive experimental techniques in this field is based on the analysis of the vibratory signal response from the welded sample. An algorithm based on Pronys series method is used for processing the acquired signal due to sample response of free vibrations. By the means of Finite Element Method (FEM), the natural frequencies and modes shapes of the same specimen of carbon steel were determined. These results help to interpret experimental measurements and the vibration modes identification, and Youngs modulus and shear modulus determination.

This work presents an investigation on the free vibration behavior of rotating pre-twisted functionally graded graphene platelets reinforced composite (FG-GPLRC) laminated blades/beams with an attached point mass. The considered beams are constituted of [Formula: see text] layers which are bonded perfectly and made of a mixture of isotropic polymer matrix and graphene platelets (GPLs). The weight fraction of GPLs changes in a layer-wise manner. The effective material properties of FG-GPLRC layers are computed by using the modified Halpin-Tsai model together with rule of mixture. The free vibration eigenvalue equations are developed based on the Reddy’s third-order shear deformation theory (TSDT) using the Chebyshev–Ritz method under different boundary conditions. After validating the approach, the influences of the GPLs distribution pattern, GPLs weight fraction, angular velocity, the variation of the angle of twist along the beam axis, the ratio of attached mass to the beam mass, boundary conditions, position of attached mass, and geometry on the vibration behavior are investigated. The findings demonstrate that the natural frequencies of the rotating pre-twisted FG-GPLRC laminated beams significantly increases by adding a very small amount of GPLs into polymer matrix. It is shown that placing more GPLs near the top and bottom surfaces of the pre-twisted beam is an effective way to strengthen the pre-twisted beam stiffness and increase the natural frequencies.

Kinematic Motion

It has been a well-established fact that dynamic systems in motion experience critical speeds, such as rotating shafts and geared systems whose undeformed reference geometry remain the same at all times. Their critical speeds are determined by their natural frequencies of considered type of free vibrations. Linkage mechanisms as dynamic systems in motion change their undeformed geometries as function of time during the cycle of kinematic motion. They do also experience critical operating speeds as rotating shafts and geared systems do, and their critical speeds are determined by the minima of their natural frequencies during a cycle of kinematic motion. Such a minimum occurs at the critical geometry of a mechanism, which is the position at which the maximum of the input power is required to maintain the instantaneous dynamic equilibrium of the mechanism. Actual finite line elements are used to form the global generalized coordinate flexibility matrix. The natural frequencies of the mechanism and the corresponding mode vectors (mode deflections) are determined as the eigen values and eigen vectors of the equations of instantaneous-position-free-motion of the mechanism. Method is formulated to include or exclude the link axial deformations, and apply to any number of loops having any type of planar pair. Critical speeds of planar four-bar, slider-crank, and Stephenson’s six-bar mechanisms are determined. Experimental results for the four-bar mechanism are given. Effect of axial deformations and link rotary inertias are investigated. Inclusion of link axial deformations in mechanisms having pairs with sliding freedoms is seen to predict critical speeds with large error.

The Given

The Rayleigh-Ritz method is well known as an approximate method of determining the natural frequencies of a conservative system, using a constrained deflection form. On the other hand, if a general deflection form (i.e. an unconstrained form) is used, the method provides a theoretically exact solution. An unconstrained form may be obtained by expressing the deflection as an expansion in terms of a suitable set of orthogonal functions, and in selecting such a set, it is convenient to use the known normal modes of a suitably chosen “ basic system.” The given system, whose vibration properties are to be determined, can then be regarded as a “ modified system,” which is derived from the basic system by a variation of mass and elasticity. A similar procedure has been applied to systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom. In the present note the method is applied to simple non-uniform beams, and to beams with added masses and constraints. A concise general solution is obtained, and an iteration process of obtaining a numerical solution is described.

Since their discovery, immense attention has been given to carbon nanotubes (CNTs), due to their exceptional thermal, electronic and mechanical properties and, therefore, the wide range of applications in which they are, or can be potentially, employed. Hence, it is important that all the properties of carbon nanotubes are studied extensively. This thesis studies the vibrational frequencies of double-walled and triple-walled CNTs, with and without an elastic medium surrounding them, by using Finite Element Method (FEM) and Dynamic Stiffness Matrix (DSM) formulations, considering them as Euler-Bernoulli beams coupled with van der Waals interaction forces. For FEM modelling, the linear eigenvalue problem is obtained using Galerkin weighted residual approach. The natural frequencies and mode shapes are derived from eigenvalues and eigenvectors, respectively. For DSM formulation of double-walled CNTs, a nonlinear eigenvalue problem is obtained by enforcing displacement and load end conditions to the exact solution of single equation achieved by combining the coupled governing equations. The natural frequencies are obtained using Wittrick-Williams algorithm. FEM formulation is also applied to both double and triple-walled CNTs modelled as nonlocal Euler-Bernoulli beam. The natural frequencies obtained for all the cases, are in agreement with the values provided in literature.

Abstract In this paper, a technique is presented for improving the efficiency of the Craig-Bampton method of Component Mode Synthesis (CMS). An eigenanalysis is performed on the partitions of the CMS mass and stiffness matrices that correspond to the so-called constraint modes. The resultant eigenvectors are referred to as “characteristic constraint modes,” since they represent the characteristic motion of the interface between the component structures. By truncating the characteristic constraint modes, a CMS model with a highly-reduced number of degrees of freedom may be obtained. An example of a cantilever plate is considered. It is shown that relatively few characteristic constraint modes are needed to yield accurate approximations of the lower natural frequencies. This method also provides physical insight into the mechanisms of vibration transmission in complex structures.

In this study, the free vibration of laminated composite plates with and without stiffeners subjected to axial loads is carried out using finite element method. The plates are stiffened by laminated composite strip and Timoshenko beam. The plates and the strips are modeled with rectangular 9 noded isoparametric quadratic elements with three degrees of freedom per node and the Timoshenko beam is modeled with linear 2 noded isoparametric quadratic elements with 2 degrees of freedom per node. The effects of both shear deformation and rotary inertia are implemented in the modeling of plate and stiffener. The governing differential equations are obtained in terms of the mid-plane displacement components and shear rotations using Hamilton’s principle. The effects of axial tension and compression loads and stiffeners on the natural frequencies of the plate are investigated. Results indicate the tension loads and stiffeners will increase the natural frequencies while the compression loads reduce the natural frequencies. The buckling force of plate is computed by increasing the absolute value of compressive force until the first natural frequency tends to zero. Results of simple cases are compared with finding in the literature and a good agreement was achieved.
