In this paper, dynamic characteristics analysis is carried out for a large aqueduct of South-to-North Water Transfer Project using large finite element analysis software. Two kinds of connection supports are considered, namely elastic support and completely simple support. Six kinds of water depths are calculated by additional mass method: empty aqueduct, 1/4 water depth, 1/2 water depth, 3/4 water depth, designed water depth, full water depth. Results show that basin type rubber support strengthens the constraint to aqueduct, and strengthens the connection of aqueduct to pier, and also increases the system stiffness, therefore the natural frequency is higher than that of completely simple support; The influence of water to dynamic characteristics of the aqueduct is quite obvious, so water effect must be considered in computation; Water has no influence on the principal mode shapes of the aqueduct structure, i.e. the dry mode shape and the wet mode shape are similar in appearance.

By use of large finite element analysis software, dynamic characteristics analysis is carried out for an aqueduct in South-to-North Water Transfer Project. Westergaard method and Housner method are used respectively to simulate the water. The natural frequencies and mode shapes (wet) of the aqueduct structure are calculated under two kinds of water depths (designed water depth, half water depth). The results show that the influence of the water on the dynamic characteristics of the aqueduct is obvious. Natural frequencies decrease with the increases of the water depth. The distinction between the two methods was analyzed: Housner method is closer to the practical engineering because both the pulsation effect and the convection effect of the water are considered. The results and conclusions can be referenced for seismic design of large aqueduct.

Abstract This paper is concerned with the shape optimization of structures to attain prescribed normal mode shapes. Optimizing structural members in order to have desired mode shapes, besides the desired natural frequencies, is of interest in some applications at both macro and micro scales. After reviewing the relevant past work on the “inverse mode shape” problem, a feasibility study using the lumped spring-mass models and finite element models of an axially vibrating bar is presented. Based on the observations made in the feasibility study with bars, a meaningful optimization problem is formulated and solved. Using finite element analysis and numerical optimization, a method for designing beam-like structures for prescribed mode shapes is developed. The method is demonstrated with an example of designing the cross-sectional area profile of a beam along its longitudinal axis to get a desired fundamental mode shape. The nonuniqueness of the solution is noted and avenues for future research are identified.

The column of heavy double turret five-axis horizontal milling complex machining center is taken as the object of study. Solidworks is used to establish three-dimensional model of milling machining center column, the established modal is be imported into ANSYS Workbench for static and dynamic characteristics analysis. First, by comparing the column deformation, the stress and strain under no-load and load conditions, which is concluded that column design is too conservative and be optimized. Secondly, the modal analysis was carried out on the column, which provides a theoretical basis for the optimization of the column by getting the first six natural frequencies and mode shapes of cloud.

This paper presents a procedure for damage identification and characterization on plates, based on the principal curvatures of their first mode shape. Each mode shape represents the displacement of the structure at its corresponding natural frequency. Since, variations in the geometry due to cracks or material property degradation, make changes in the mode shapes of the structure, such changes can be used for damage identification methods. The presented procedure only requires the first mode shape of the intact and damaged structure. It is shown that the principal curvatures of the surface defined by the first mode shape of the structure, are sensitive to damage and the maximum principal curvature can be used to highlight damages on the structure. The performance of the developed method is firstly evaluated using finite element analysis. To this aim, the procedure is applied to highlight both single and multi-damages in different locations of the plate with different boundary conditions. It is shown that the location of the maximum curvature variation coincides well with the location of damages and the amount of the maximum curvature change can be used as a parameter to describe damage severity. The accuracy of the proposed method is also experimentally verified by test on an aluminum plate and it is demonstrated that the proposed method remains effective even in experimental condition when only a limited number of measurements are available.

This paper presents experimental data and theoretical predictions of the dynamic characteristics (natural and resonance frequencies, mode shapes) of a flexible cylinder vibrating in air and at fixed positions below a free surface in water of finite depth. The flat-ended, thin cylindrical shell of overall length 1284 mm, external radius 180 mm, thickness 3 mm is made of mild steel. In the experiments, the shell was tethered (i) at 0.21, 0.23, and 0.68 m depths below the free surface in water of depth 1.6 m and (ii) at 0.25, 1.5, and 3.5 m depths in 4 m of water. The resonance frequency data recorded provide measures of the influences of free surface, cylinder position, rigid boundary, water depth, etc. occurring in the fluid-structure interaction process. The theoretical predictions are derived from a three-dimensional hydroelastic mathematical model which, through the calculations of the generalized fluid loadings, accounts for the influence of free surface and rigid boundaries, position of submerged cylinder, neutral buoyancy or, as in the present case, with tethers and buoyancy effects. An extensive comparison of results is included. The experimental restrictions of water depth, cylinder position, etc. and the fluid-structure interactions are assessed and illustrated through the calculated resonance frequency values.
