The attenuation of stress waves due to the local resonance is numerically studied using the finite element method (FEM) in this work. The natural frequency of a representative composite unit embedded with coated particles is analyzed and the major factors that influence the natural frequency are examined. Local resonance is inspired when the frequency of the incident stress wave is close to the natural frequency of the particles in the composite. Significant reduction in the amplitude of the stress is obtained when the local resonance occurs, because a large amount of the incident energy is converted to the kinetic energy of the particles, which is rapidly dissipated through the strong oscillations of those particles. It is also observed that the attenuation for the incident stress waves with a range of frequencies can be achieved by using the particles with various local natural frequencies in a composite.

Element Method

A perturbation approach, coupled with the adjoint concept, is used to derive an analytic expression for the natural frequencies of a nearly rectangular membrane. The method is applied for a rectangular membrane with a semicircle at one of the boundaries. The fundamental natural frequency results for this configuration are presented and compared with results from a finite-element method and results from an approximate Galerkin method. The agreement between the fundamental natural frequencies calculated with the perturbation approach and those calculated with the finite-element method improves as the radius of the semicircle decreases and as the semicircle location becomes more eccentric.

The aim of this paper is to study the influence of hull deformation on dynamic behavior of ship propulsion shafting. Taking an 8530TEU container ship as an objective and using the finite element method, a global ship structure model is built up to evaluate the hull deformations under typical loading cases. Then the hull bottom-propulsion shafting integrated model is adopted to analyze the effect of hull deformation on shafting natural frequency under dry and wet mode. The results show that the natural frequencies of the shafting will increase due to the effect of hull deformation. Consequently, it is necessary to consider the effect of ship deformation when dealing with the dynamic behavior of ship propulsion shafting.

Periodic Arrangement

Abstract Metastructures made of spring-mass resonators present a bandgap at the natural frequency of the resonator. This rule cannot be generalized for more complex resonators. This work analyzes the case of a metastructure composed of a periodic arrangement of vertical beams rigidly joined to a horizontal beam. The vertical beams work as resonators, and their natural frequencies play a strong role on the band structure of the whole system, however, different than the case with spring-mass resonators. Since this metastructure can be considered a lattice, Bloch’s theorem is applied to the unit cell and a numerical procedure based on the finite element method permits to obtain the dispersion curves. Illustrative results show the influence of the natural frequencies of the horizontal and vertical beams on the band structure.

Abstract This article examines numerically the flexibility influence of support beams in static response and dynamic properties of a symmetric plate formed by massive slabs of reinforced concrete in elastic linear regime, using the Finite Element Method. In the static response the variation of bending mo-ments and displacements are evaluated, which depend on the relationship between the flexibility of the slab and the beam. The evaluation of dynamic properties is held in undamped free vibration, through which the vibration modes and the values of the natural frequencies is obtained, which are compared with the limits of the Brazilian standard code for design of concrete structures. Results show that the response may show great variation due to the change in the relationship between bending stiffness of the slabs and the beams.

This study analyzed a Timoshenko beam with Koch snowflake cross-section in different boundary conditions and for variable properties. The equation of motion was solved by the finite element method and verified by Solidworks simulation in a way that the maximum error was about 2.9% for natural frequencies. Displacement and natural frequency for each case presented and compared to other cases. Significant research achievements illustrate that if we change the Koch snowflake cross-section of the beam from the first iteration to the second, the area and moment of inertia will increase, and we have a 5.2% rise in the first natural frequency. Similarly, by changing the cross-section from the second iteration to the third, a 10.2% growth is observed. Also, the hollow cross-section is considered, which can enlarge the natural frequency by about 26.37% compared to a solid one. Moreover, all the clamped-clamped, hinged-hinged, clamped-free, and free-free boundary conditions have the highest natural frequency for the Timoshenko beam with the third iteration of the Koch snowflake cross-section in solid mode. Finally, examining important physical parameters demonstrates that variable density from a minimum value to the standard value along the beam increases the natural frequencies, while variable elastic modulus decreases it.

The natural frequencies of circular saws limit the operating speeds of the saws. Current industry methods of increasing natural frequency include pretensioning, where plastic deformation is induced into the saw. To better model the saw, the finite element model is compared to current software for steel saws; C-SAW, a software program that calculates frequencies for stiffened circular saws. Using C-SAW and the finite element method the results are compared and the finite element method is validated for steel saws.

Analytical, experimental and numerical results of determination of natural frequencies and forms of oscillations of reinforced concrete and fiber concrete beams are given. Modern analytical, numerical and experimental methods of studying the dynamics of reinforced concrete and fiber concrete beams are analyzed. The problem of determining the natural frequencies and forms of oscillations of reinforced concrete and fiber concrete beams at the initial modulus of elasticity and taking into account the nonlinear diagram of deformation of materials is solved analytically. Computer modeling of the considered constructions in four software complexes is done and the technique of their modal analysis on the basis of the finite element method is developed. Experimental researches of free oscillations of the considered designs and the comparative analysis of all received results are carried out. It is established that all involved complexes determine the imaginary frequency and imaginary form of oscillations. The frequency spectrum calculated by the finite element method is approximately 4% lower than that calculated analytically; the results of the calculation in SOFiSTiK differ by 2% from the results obtained in the PC LIRA; the discrepancy with the experimental data reaches 20%, and all frequencies calculated experimentally, greater than the frequencies calculated analytically or by the finite element method. This rather significant discrepancy is explained, according to the authors, by the incorrectness of the used dynamic model of the reinforced beam. The classical dynamics of structures is known to be based on the theory of linear differential equations, and the oscillations of structures are considered in relation to the unstressed initial state. It is obvious that in the study of free and forced oscillations of reinforced concrete building structures such an approach is unsuitable because they are physically nonlinear systems. The concept of determining the nonlinear terms of these equations is practically not studied. Numerous experimental researches and computer modeling for the purpose of qualitative and quantitative detection of all factors influencing a spectrum of natural frequencies of fluctuations are necessary here.

Mathematical Relations

Two configurations of perfect single walled carbon nanotubes (armchair and zigzag) were simulated based on the finite element method. Then, three most likely defects (Si-doping, carbon vacancy and perturbation) were introduced to the models to represent defective forms of single walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs). Finally, the vibrational properties of perfect and defective carbon nanotubes were evaluated and compared. The results showed that SWCNTs have a natural frequency with a rather high value between 18.69 and 24.01 GHz. In the consideration of the natural frequency of the defective SWCNTs, it was also observed that the existence of any type of defects or irregularities leads to a lower value of natural frequency and vibrational stability. Simple mathematical relations which express the change in natural frequency versus the percentage of the defect were also presented. This can be very useful to realistically estimate the influence of defects of different amounts on the vibrational behavior of carbon nanotubes.

The finite element method is applied to the calculation of the deflection under a uniformly distributed load and the natural frequencies of the rhombic cantilever plate. This has required the derivation of stiffness and inertia matrices for a plate element of parallelogrammic planform. Although, in common with the work of past investigators, the accuracy of the results decreases with increase in skew angle it is shown that the method is adequate for angles up to about 45°.
