Using reduced-basis method, design parameters are needed to be separated from the linear elastic operators, which is time-consuming. So, an improved reduced-basis method - coefficient reduced-basis method is introduced to calculate the low order natural frequencies and mode shapes of structure. In this method, the computing process of design parameters separated from the linear elastic operators is simplified. In this paper, a truck frame is taken as an example, frequencies and mode shapes from coefficient reduced-basis method are obtained. Comparing with results from the finite element method, coefficient reduced-basis method can obtain accurate results efficiently.

In this study, free vibration analysis of beams carrying a number of various concentrated elements including point masses, rotary inertias, linear springs, rotational springs and spring-mass systems subjected to the axial load was performed. All analyses were performed using an Euler beam assumption and the Finite Element Method. The beam used in the analyses is accepted as pinned-pinned. The axial load applied to the beam from the free ends is either compressive or tensile. The effects of parameters such as the number of spring-mass systems on the beam, their locations and the axial load on the natural frequencies were investigated. The mode shapes of beams under axial load were also obtained.

The uncertain free vibration analysis of engineering structures with the consideration of nonstochastic spatially dependent uncertain parameters is investigated. A recently proposed concept of interval field is implemented to model the intrinsic spatial dependency of the uncertain-but-bounded system parameters. By employing the appropriate discretization scheme, evaluations of natural frequencies for engineering structures involving interval fields can be executed within the framework of the finite element method. Furthermore, a robust, yet efficient, computational strategy is proposed such that the extreme bounds of natural frequencies of the structure involving interval fields can be rigorously captured by performing two independent eigen-analyses. Within the proposed computational analysis framework, the traditional interval arithmetic is not employed so that the undesirable effect of the interval overestimation can be completely eliminated. Consequently, both sharpness and physical feasibility of the results can be guaranteed to a certain extent for any discretized interval field. The plausibility of the adopted interval field model, as well as the feasibility of the proposed computational scheme, is clearly demonstrated by investigating both academic-sized and practically motivated engineering structures.

A complex cable-stayed bridge that consists of a simply-supported four-cable-stayed deck beam and two rigid towers is studied. The nonlinear and linear partial differential equations that govern the motions of the cables and segments of the deck beam, respectively, are derived, along with their boundary and matching conditions. The undamped natural frequencies and mode shapes of the linearized model of the cable-stayed bridge, which includes both the transverse and longitudinal vibrations of the cables, are determined. Numerical analysis of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the cable-stayed bridge is conducted for a symmetrical case with regards to the sizes of the components of the bridge and the initial sags of the cables. The results show that there are very close natural frequencies and localized mode shapes.

Free vibration analysis of a free inflated torus of circular cross-section is presented. The shell theory of Sanders, including the effect of pressure, is used in formulating the governing equations. These partial differential equations are reduced to ordinary differential equations with variable coefficients using complete waves in the form of trigonometric functions in the longitudinal direction. The assumed mode shapes are divided into symmetric and antisymmetric groups, each given by a Fourier series in the meridional coordinate. The solutions (natural frequencies and mode shapes) are obtained using Galerkin’s method and verified with published results. The natural frequencies are also obtained for a circular cylinder with shear diaphragm boundary condition as a special case of the toroidal shell. Finally, the effects of aspect ratio, pressure, and thickness on the natural frequencies of the inflated torus are studied.

The dynamic characteristic of a uniform rectangular plate with four boundary conditions and carrying three kinds of multiple concentrated element (rigidly attached point masses, linear springs and elastically mounted point masses) was investigated. Firstly, the closed-form solutions for the natural frequencies and the corresponding normal mode shapes of a rectangular ‘bare’ (or ‘unconstrained’) plate (without any attachments) with the specified boundary conditions were determined analytically. Next, by using these natural frequencies and normal mode shapes incorporated with the expansion theory, the equation of motion of the ‘constrained’ plate (carrying the three kinds of multiple concentrated element) were derived. Finally, numerical methods were used to solve this equation of motion to give the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the ‘constrained’ plate. To confirm the reliability of previous free vibration analysis results, a finite element analysis was also conducted. It was found that the results obtained from the above-mentioned two approaches were in good agreement. Compared with the conventional finite element method (FEM), the approach employed in this paper has the advantages of saving computing time and achieving better accuracy, as can be seen from the existing literature.

The structural elements supporting motors or engines are frequently seen in technological applications. The operation of machine may introduce additional dynamic stresses on the beam. It is important, then, to know the natural frequencies of the coupled beam-mass system, in order to obtain a proper design of the structural elements. The literature regarding the free vibration analysis of Bernoulli-Euler and Timoshenko single-span beams carrying a number of spring-mass system and multi-span beams carrying multiple spring-mass systems are plenty, but the free vibration analysis of Reddy-Bickford multi-span beams carrying multiple spring-mass systems has not been investigated by any of the studies in open literature so far. This paper aims at determining the exact solutions for the natural frequencies and mode shapes of Reddy-Bickford beams. The model allows analyzing the influence of the shear effect and spring-mass systems on the dynamic behavior of the beams by using Reddy-Bickford Beam Theory (RBT). The effects of attached spring-mass systems on the free vibration characteristics of the 1–4 span beams are studied. The natural frequencies of Reddy-Bickford single-span and multi-span beams calculated by using the numerical assembly technique and the secant method are compared with the natural frequencies of single-span and multi-span beams calculated by using Timoshenko Beam Theory (TBT); the mode shapes are presented in graphs.

Free vibration analysis of a single edge cracked multi-layered symmetric sandwich stepped Timoshenko beams, made of functionally graded materials, is studied using finite element method and linear elastic fracture mechanic theory. The cantilever functionally graded beam consists of 50 layers, assumed that the second stage of the beam (step part) is created by machining. Thus, providing the material continuity between the two beam stages. It is assumed that material properties vary continuously, along the thickness direction according to the exponential and power laws. A developed MATLAB code is used to find the natural frequencies of three types of the stepped beam, concluding a good agreement with the known data from the literature, supported also by ANSYS software in data verification. In the study, the effects of the crack location, crack depth, power law gradient index, different material distributions, different stepped length, different cross-sectional geometries on natural frequencies and mode shapes are analysed in detail.

Considered here was the effect of multistage coupling on the dynamics of a rotor consisting of eight mistuned bladed discs on a solid shaft. Each bladed disc had a different number of rotor blades. Free vibrations were examined using finite element representations of rotating single blades, bladed discs, and the entire rotor. In this study the global rotating mode shapes of eight flexible mistuned bladed discs on shaft assemblies were calculated, taking into account rotational effects such as centrifugal stiffening. The thus obtained natural frequencies of the blade, shaft, bladed disc and entire shaft with discs were carefully examined to discover resonance conditions and coupling effects. This study found that mistuned systems cause far more intensive multistage coupling than tuned ones. The greater the mistuning, the more intense the multistage coupling.

This paper is concerned with the dynamical analysis of a sagged cable having small equilibrium curvature and horizontal supports under both distributed and concentrated loads. The loads are applied in vertical as well as horizontal directions. Based on a free vibration analysis, a transfer matrix method is generalized for solving coupled, nonhomogeneous differential equations to obtain closed-form solutions for the natural frequencies and the associated vibration mode shapes in vertical, horizontal, and longitudinal directions. It is shown that two sets of independent mode shapes associated with two sets of independent frequencies always exist and can be obtained via an equation of one variable only. This method demonstrates its advantages in dealing with interactions of modes in different directions, complex arrangement of concentrated loads, and high-order modes oscillations.
