Forced Vibration Analysis

This paper is focused on the assessment of serviceability of the footbridge structure, which has been excited by pedestrians and vandals. The three dimensional FE model of the footbridge structure was created for the necessities of theoretical modal analysis. Computed mode shapes and natural frequencies were subsequently used for the forced vibration analysis as an input files into MATLAB code. Results obtained by the theoretical analysis were compared with the experimental results. At the end of this paper, the comfort criterion of crossing pedestrians has been evaluated.

Beam Mode

A compliant tower (CT) is modeled as a partially dry, partially tapered, damped Timoshenko beam with the superstructure modeled as an eccentric tip mass, and a non-classical damped boundary at the base. The foundation is modeled as a combination of a linear spring and a torsional spring, along with linear and torsional dampers. The mean empty space factor due to the truss type structure of the tower is included. The effect of shear deformation and rotary inertia are included in the vibration analysis; with the non-uniform beam mode-shapes being a weighted sum of the uniform beam mode-shapes. The weights are evaluated by the Rayleigh-Ritz method, using the first ten modes and verified using Finite Element Method (FEM). The superstructure adds to the kinetic energy without affecting the stiffness of the beam, thereby reducing the natural frequencies. The weight of the superstructure acts as an axial compressive load on the beam, reducing its frequencies further. Kelvin-Voigt model of structural damping is included. A part of the structure being underwater, the virtual added inertia is included to calculate the wet natural frequencies. The CT is first subjected to steady current loads of a given velocity profile. The static deflection and overturning moment is estimated for current loads. The CT is then studied for wave excitation at various seas states. Morrison’s equation and Pierson-Moskowitz Spectrum are used to derive the forces for different sea states. The forced vibration analysis of the structure is done via Rayleigh-Ritz method and verified using FEM. The maximum horizontal deflection and shear stress of the base of the superstructure, and the normal/shear stresses at the foundation are analyzed. Finally, the CT is subjected to earthquake excitation, modeled as an arbitrary horizontal impact excitation at the base. The above forced vibration analysis is repeated.

Forced Vibration Analysis

Considered here is the effect of multistage coupling on the dynamics of a rotor consisting of eight 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 flexible tuned bladed discs-shaft assemblies were calculated, taking into account rotational effects, such as centrifugal stiffening. The thus obtained natural frequencies of the blade, the shaft, the bladed disc, and the entire shaft with discs were carefully examined to discover resonance conditions and coupling effects. This study found that the flexible modes of the tuned bladed discs affected by shaft motion were those with zero, one and two nodal diameters. In these modes shaft deflection was clearly visible. In forced vibration analysis a different EO excitation was applied for each stage. The importance of using models with different numbers of blades on each disc is apparent when compared with earlier results concerning discs with identical numbers of blades. Here the model of 8 discs with an equal number of blades on each disc is referred to as (Model 1), and the model of 8 discs with a different number of blades on each disc is referred to as (Model 2).

Modal Vibration

Abstract The aim of this paper is the analysis of the modal vibration of the membrane structure. Membranes are defined as structures of the lightweight architecture and they are currently very popular. They have a long history and development, in which they have reached a stage where we can complement them with action elements, also called actuators. These elements can change their length and thus affect a stress state of a membrane, which allows more efficient use. In addition to a static analysis, it is necessary to subject structures to a dynamic analysis, in this case we deal with the natural vibration. This modal analysis deals with the first 5 mode shapes and their dependence on the change in the length of the actuators. This initial calculation will be followed by a forced vibration analysis in the future.

The exact natural frequencies, mode shapes, and the corresponding orthogonality relations are important in forced vibration analysis via modal expansion. In the present paper, a free vibration analysis is conducted to determine the exact natural frequencies and mode shapes of an axially loaded beam carrying several absorbers. An explicit expression is presented for the generalized orthogonality relations. These generalized orthogonality conditions are employed along with the assumed modes method to perform forced vibration analysis. The present approach is compared to other approximate methods in the literature with the classical orthogonality relations and different choice of mode shapes. The results indicate that the use of the generalized orthogonality relation with the exact mode shapes is required for a precise investigation of the dynamic response of a beam with mass-spring-mass-damper system.

Forced Vibration Analysis

The effect of multistage coupling on the dynamics of a rotor consisting of eight bladed discs on a solid shaft is considered. Free vibrations are examined using finite element representations of rotating single blades, bladed discs, and the complete rotor. In this study, the global rotating mode shapes of flexible tuned bladed discs-shaft assemblies are calculated. Rotational effects, such as centrifugal stiffening are accounted for. The calculated natural frequencies obtained from the blade, the shaft, the bladed disc, and the complete shaft with discs are carefully examined to discover resonance conditions and the coupling effects. It was found that the flexible modes of the tuned bladed discs affected by shaft motion are those with zero, one and two nodal diameters. In these modes the shaft deflection is clearly visible. Different EO excitation is applied for particular stages in forced vibration analysis.

Forced vibration analysis of two dimensional bridge deck structures involves complex mathematical procedures and therefore analysis is often based on beam idealization of equivalent plates. This simplification yields close agreement only for long span bridges where plate action is relatively insignificant. However, such a concept of beam idealization cannot be successfully utilized in the case of short span bridges where plate action is predominant and where the determination of the distribution of dynamic deflections and amplification factors at critical sections of such plates is of prime concern. The principal objective of the present investigation is the forced vibration analysis of longitudinally stiffened, simply supported orthotropic bridge decks utilizing a new concept of interconnected beam idealization. The theoretical analysis deals with determination of amplification factors and dynamic deflections along critical sections of the plate treated as a series of interconnected beams. The aspect ratios of the plates under investigation as series of interconnected beams are designed to cover a wide range of plate to beam transition. The theoretical analysis is supplemented by an extensive experimental programme.In conclusion, it is seen that this concept of interconnected beam idealization not only takes into account the plate action of the deck structure but also reduces greatly the complexity of mathematical formulation. A good comparison between the theoretical and the experimental results indicates that this concept can be used to advantage for analysis and, within certain limitations, for design purposes.

Forced Vibration Analysis

A nine-noded Lagrangian plate bending finite element that incorporates first-order transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia is used to predict the free and forced vibration response of laminated composite folded plate structures. A 6 × 6 transformation matrix is derived to transform the system element matrices before assembly. The usual five degrees-of-freedom per node is appended with an additional drilling degree of freedom in order to fit the transformation. The present finite element results show good agreement with the available semi-analytical solutions and finite element results. Parametric studies are conducted for free and forced vibration analysis for laminated folded plates, with reference to crank angle, fibre angle and stacking sequence. The natural frequencies and mode shapes, and forced vibration responses furnished here may serve as a benchmark for future investigations.

During the exploitation of a commercial LP steam turbine, self-excitation occurred in the last stage of slender blades, inducing high vibration amplitudes. These problems were solved by changing the geometry of certain blades (feathering) and arranging them in a specific order (alternating mistuning). This paper presents free and forced vibrations of various mistuned steam turbine bladed discs. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the steam turbine bladed discs were calculated using FEM models. Two different approaches to mistuning were applied: either the blade geometry or the Young’s Modulus were changed. Next, the results were compared. This showed that blade geometry mistuning gave the best results for long blades in the case of higher mistuning. The forced vibration analysis showed that the maximal blade stress location differed, depending on the kind of mistuning. The application feathering and alternating mistuning showed lower stress levels than the tip-timing measured standard mistuning pattern.
