In order to investigate the effect of different reinforcement structure on the dynamic characteristics of sandwich structure composite plates used for manufacturing the high speed reciprocating motion composite components, four kinds of paulownia wood sandwich composite test specimens with dimensions of 350×83.5×9.5mm was designed and made by hand lay-up performing and press molding technology. The woven and 2D braiding fabric prepreg were both selected as top face and inner face materials , respectively, and the carbon fiber woven fabric prepreg was chosen as inner part materials. According to the impulse response modal test method, a modal test system was established. It was found that this kind of sandwich structure composite plate has bigger natural frequency value, it’s minimum natural frequency was about 609.77Hz that could meet the requirement for high speed reciprocating motion parts. The dynamic test results shown that the natural frequency of F2BAF-IUC-CPW sample is higher t about 11.17% at least, selecting 2D integral braiding pipe fabric as top face and inner face reinforced materials could effectively improve the dynamic properties of sandwich composite rectangular plates. The modal experiments indicated that the modal shapes of sandwich composite plate specimen with four kind reinforcement structures were identical, it’s 1st modal shape, 2nd modal shape and 3rd modal shape presented torsional vibration shape, flexural vibration shape and torsional flexural vibration shape, separately, the modal shapes of sandwich composite plate specimen were not obviously affected by reinforcement structure.

A innovative structure of sandwich composite rectangular plate with dimensions of 350 ×83.5×9.5mm was designed, it was made of unidirectional prepreg of carbon fibre and woven fabric prepreg of carbon fiber as face materials and paulownia as core material by hand lay-up performing and press molding technology for investigating the dynamic performance such as natural frequency and modal shapes. Based on testing the in-plane and out-plane mechanical properties of composite samples reinforced by unidirectional carbon fibre and carbon fiber woven fabric, a ANSYS FEA dynamic modeling was developed. According to the impulse response modal test method, a modal test system was established. The natural frequency test results showed that the minimum natural frequency of sandwich composite rectangular plate is about 616.45Hz which is higher about 27.5% than that of aluminum rectangular plate reinforced by carbon. The modal experiment indicated that the 1st modal shape, 2nd modal shape, 3rd modal shape and 4th modal shape of the sandwich composite rectangular plate were torsional vibration, flexural vibration shape, torsional flexural vibration and double-flexural vibration separately. It was found the calculating precision of FEA dynamic predication was very high, the dynamic predicating results by FEA could provide fundamental data to the optimal design high speed reciprocating sandwich composite rectangular parts.

This paper is a theoretical and experimental study of the effect of core shear flexibility on the lowest natural frequency, node locations, and damping in sandwich beams with cores of high shear flexibility as exemplified by honeycomb-type cores. A new method of analysis is presented for predicting the logarithmic decrement for damping in sandwich beams undergoing free vibration, provided that the beam geometry and constitutent material properties are known. Natural frequency, modal shape, and logarithmic decrement are all dependent upon the dynamic shear coefficient. Two new simplified derivations for this coefficient are presented in this paper. Flexural vibration experiments were conducted on free-free sandwich beam strips at frequencies from 300 to 700 cps. Facings were glass-epoxy laminates and cores were hexagonal-cell honeycomb of either aluminum or glass-phenolic. For each beam, lowest natural frequency, associated node locations, and logarithmic decrement in free vibration were measured and compared with those predicted by applying four different theories.

At present, high-speed underwater acoustic communication requires underwater transducers with the characteristics of low frequency and broadband. The low-frequency transducers also are expected to be low-frequency directional for realization of point-to-point communication. In order to achieve the above targets, this paper proposes a new type of flextensional transducer which is constructed of double mosaic piezoelectric ceramic rings and spherical cap metal shells. The transducer realizes broadband transmission by means of the coupling between radial vibration of the piezoelectric rings and high-order flexural vibration of the spherical cap metal shells. The low-frequency directional transmission of the transducer is realized by using excitation signals with different amplitude and phase on two mosaic piezoelectric rings. The relationship between transmitting voltage response (TVR), resonance frequency and structural parameters of the transducer is analyzed by finite element software COMSOL. The broadband performance of the transducer is also optimized. On this basis, the low-frequency directivity of the transducer is further analyzed and the ratio of the excitation signals of the two piezoelectric rings is obtained. Finally, a prototype of the broadband ring flextensional underwater transducer is fabricated according to the results of simulation. The electroacoustic performance of the transducer is tested in an anechoic water tank. Experimental results show that the maximum TVR of the transducer is 147.2 dB and the operation bandwidth is 1.5–4 kHz, which means that the transducer has good low-frequency, broadband transmission capability. Meanwhile, cardioid directivity is obtained at 1.4 kHz and low-frequency directivity is realized.

A high-speed atomic force microscope (HS-AFM) requires a specialized set of hardware and software and therefore improving video-rate HS-AFMs for general applications is an ongoing process. To improve the imaging rate of an AFM, all components have to be carefully redesigned since the slowest component determines the overall bandwidth of the instrument. In this work, we present a design of a compact HS-AFM scan-head featuring minimal loading on the Z-scanner. Using a custom-programmed controller and a high-speed lateral scanner, we demonstrate its working by obtaining topographic images of Blu-ray disk data tracks in contact- and tapping-modes. Images acquired using a contact-mode cantilever with a natural frequency of 60 kHz in constant deflection mode show good tracking of topography at 400 Hz. In constant height mode, tracking of topography is demonstrated at rates up to 1.9 kHz for the scan size of 1μm×1μm with 100×100 pixels.

The flexural-vibration characteristics of a symmetric, doubly infinite composite plate consisting of two outer layers of a linear viscoelastic material bonded to an elastic core have been examined, the viscous effects in the coating being represented by a complex shear modulus. Calculations of the dispersive and damping effects have been obtained for the lowest three modes by an extension of the exact Rayleigh-Lamb equations. Loss factors of the lowest modes have also been evaluated by two readily computed approximate methods; the results have been compared with those from the exact solution. The material constants were chosen to be representative of a high-polymer coating and an aluminum core. The modal behavior of the systems and coupling effects are discussed.

Recently Cox and Boxer determined natural frequencies and mode shapes of flexural vibration of uniform rectangular isotropic plates, that have free edges and pinpoint supports at the four corners. In their analysis, they obtain approximate solutions of the differential equation through the use of finite difference expressions and an electronic digital computer. In the present note, the frequency expression and mode shape for a square plate, vibrating at the lowest natural frequency, are determined by considerations of energy. The values obtained are compared with those given in reference.

Abstract Results of a program to investigate internal rotor friction destabilizing effects are presented. Internal-friction-producing joints were shown to excite the rotor system first natural frequency, when operating either below or above the first critical speed. The analytical models used to predict the subsynchronous instability were also confirmed. The axial spline joint demonstrated the most severe subsynchronous instability. The interference fit joint also caused subsynchronous vibrations at the first natural frequency but these were bounded and generally smaller than the synchronous vibrations. Comparison of data from the two test joints showed that supersynchronous vibration amplitudes at the first natural frequency were generally larger for the interference fit joint than for the axial spline joint. The effects of changes in imbalance levels and side loads were not distinguishable during testing because amplitude-limiting bumpers were required to restrict orbits.
