In this research, dynamic behaviour of a cracked cantilever beam has been analysed using finite element and experimental analysis. Deviations in mode shapes and natural frequencies have been noticed due to the presence of crack in the beam. The variation in the dynamic response is due to change in local flexibility because of the presence of crack in the beam. Finite element and experimental analyses have been carried out to find out the vibration indices of the cracked cantilever beam for validating the robustness of the theoretical model used for crack detection. The numerical results obtained through FEA are in good agreement with experimental results.

Rayleigh's quotient for Euler-Bernoulli multiple cracked beam with different boundary conditions has been derived from the governed equation of free vibration. An appropriate choosing of approximate shape function in terms of mode shape of uncracked beam and specific functions satisfying conditions at cracks and boundaries leads to an explicit expression of natural frequencies through crack parameters that can simplify not only the analysis of natural frequencies of cracked beam but also the crack detection problem. Numerical analysis of natural frequencies of the cracked beam by using the obtained expression in comparison with the well-known methods such as the characteristic equation and finite element method shows their good agreement. The analytical expression of natural frequencies applied to the crack detection problem allows the result of detection to be improved.

The present work aims to carry out modal analysis of orthotropic thin rectangular plate to determine its natural frequencies and mode shapes by using analytical method based on Rayleigh-Ritz energy approach. To demonstrate the accuracy of this approach, the same plate is discritisated and analyzed using the finite element method. The natural and angular frequencies were computed and determined analytically and numerically by using ABAQUS finite element code. The convergency and accuracy of the numerical solution was examined. The effects of geometrical parameters and boundary conditions on vibrations are investigated. The results obtained showed a very good agreement between the analytical approach and the numerical simulations. Also, the paper presents simulations results of testing of the plate with passive vibration control.

In this paper, the finite element model for the cabinet of a drum washing machine and the model for testing vibration of the cabinet were developed in ANSYS software and PULSE™, respectively. A series of tests were conducted. The natural frequencies and mode shapes were obtained by finite element analysis and modal experiment, which revealed weak parts of the cabinet. Meanwhile, the computational modes were in good agreement with experimental ones and this could provide an available method by which it was convenient to improve the design of the cabinet.

Mechanical vibrations are probably inevitable and occur in more or less all machine tools and other technological equipment. In case the linear encoder is used for moveable parts positioning in such machines, vibrations could cause additional errors. This paper investigates the dynamic behavior of the optical linear encoder under mechanical vibrations. Potentially the most harmful frequencies are determined experimentally, and the corresponding mode shapes are simulated by using finite element method (FEM). Obtained results describe tested encoder`s construction dynamic response to external excitation and could be used to improve its design.

Abstract The natural frequencies and dynamic response of a trochoidal cylindrical shell in a trochoidal-type machine are studied. Both analytical method and finite element method (FEM) solutions are obtained. The mode shapes obtained by the two approaches match quite well. The model established can be applied to control the running clearance between rotor and chamber in this type of machine, which is critical to the performance of the machine.

The stress distribution and modal behavior of a space inflatable torus was investigated by nonlinear finite element numerical method. This paper focused on the effect of follower pressure on the modal analysis of the torus, including the effect of configuration change and follower pressure stiffness, and focused on validating the follower pressure stiffness FEM model and its applicability to modal analysis. Research shows that the changed configuration slightly increases the natural frequencies. The follower pressure stiffness significantly reduces the natural frequencies and changes mode shapes order. The modal results are in good agreement with the corresponding shell theory solutions, indicating that the finite element model of the follower pressure stiffness for the inflatable structure modal analysis in this paper is accurate enough and reasonable.

A new method for the natural frequency analysis of a beam with multiple transverse cracks has been carried out. The method is called reverse modal analysis in this paper. The strain energy density function is used to evaluate the additional flexibility produced due to the presence of crack. Based on the flexibility, a new stiffness matrix is deduced and subsequently that is used to calculate the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the cracked beam. It has been established that the crack depths and their positions have an important effect on its dynamic behavior. The analysis of the crack structure is done using finite element and experimental analysis. The results from numerical analysis are compared with the results from the experimental method for validation. The results are found to be in good agreement.

Abstract Natural frequencies and vibrating motions are determined in terms of the material and geometric properties of a radial tire modeled as a thin ring on an elastic foundation. Experimental checks of resonant frequencies show good agreement. Forced vibration solutions obtained are shown to consist of a superposition of resonant vibrations, each rotating around the tire at a rate depending on the mode number and the tire rotational speed. Theoretical rolling speeds that are upper bounds at which standing waves occur are determined and checked experimentally. Digital Fourier transform, transfer function, and modal analysis techniques used to determine the resonant mode shapes of a radial tire reveal that antiresonances are the primary transmitters of vibration to the tire axle.

Rotating systems components such as rotors, have dynamic characteristics that are of great importance to understand because they may cause failure of turbomachinery. Therefore, it is required to study a dynamic model to predict some vibration characteristics, in this case, the natural frequencies and mode shapes (both of free vibration) of a centrifugal compressor shaft. The peculiarity of the dynamic model proposed is that using frequency and displacements values obtained experimentally, it is possible to calculate the mass and stiffness distribution of the shaft, and then use these values to estimate the theoretical modal parameters. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the shaft were obtained with experimental modal analysis by using the impact test. The results predicted by the model are in good agreement with the experimental test. The model is also flexible with other geometries and has a great time and computing performance, which can be evaluated with respect to other commercial software in the future.
