This paper presents an experimental investigation of the sound transmission and structural vibration characteristics of the double glazed window. The laboratory experiments were performed placing the window between reverberation chamber and anechoic chamber. The window was subject to diffuse field, approximate normal wave and oblique wave acoustic excitations. The sound transmission performances at far-field were measured. Furthermore, experimental modal analysis has been performed. The Least square complex exponential algorithm is used to extract the modal parameters, i.e. mode shapes, natural frequencies and modal damping ratio of the structure. The results also show that the highest sound transmission of this experimental double glazed window appears around the mass-air-mass resonance frequency.

Modal Damping

Fatigue life, stability and performance of majority of the structures and systems depend significantly on dynamic loadings applied on them. In many engineering cases, the dynamic loading is random vibration and the structure is a plate-like system. Examples could be printed circuit boards or jet impingement cooling systems subjected to random vibrations in harsh military environments. In this study, the response of thin rectangular plates to random boundary excitation is analytically formulated and analyzed. In the presented method, closed-form mode shapes are used and some of the assumptions in previous studies are eliminated; hence it is simpler and reduces the computational load. In addition, the effects of different boundary conditions, modal damping and excitation frequency range on dynamic random response of the system are studied. The results show that increasing both the modal damping ratio and the excitation frequency range will decrease the root mean square acceleration and the maximum deflection of the plate.

Ten mode shapes, natural frequencies, and modal damping values have been measured for a steel-joist concrete-slab floor spanning 32.1 m. From ambient vibrations and steady-state shaker tests the frequency of the fundamental mode was determined to be 3.5 Hz, and the modal damping ratio to be approximately 1% of critical. A comparison of vibration criteria in Appendix G of CAN3-S16.1-M84 confirms satisfactory performance for walking, but for other rhythmic exercises disturbing vibrations developed. These occurred primarily at the forcing frequency of the exercises and not at floor resonance frequencies. Values of dynamic load factors, α, for rhythmic loadings of this floor were evaluated in accordance with the guidelines on floor vibrations in the Commentary to the National Building Code of Canada 1985. Key words: floors, gymnasiums, vibration tests, resonant frequencies, mode shapes, dynamic loads, dynamic response.

Vortex Induced Vibrations

Abstract Although it has long been recognized that vortex-induced vibrations of subsea pipeline spans involve nonlinear and inelastic behavior, the current practice to assess such spans for fatigue and ultimate loading conditions is based on the modal analysis assuming linear behavior. Nevertheless, nonlinearity can be captured approximately by making the linearization amplitude dependent. The eigenvalue problem to be solved for the natural frequencies and mode shapes then involves a stiffness matrix that depends on the mode shape and amplitude of vibration. An important part of the nonlinearity comes from the soil, which is generally represented by springs. This paper presents a simple and particularly effective algorithm to solve this nonlinear eigenvalue problem by using the same algorithm that serves to track the bifurcated solution branches in quasi-static structural stability (buckling) analyses. This method is applied to an example in which the nonlinearity comes from the soil springs. The results demonstrate the importance of the nonlinearity, even at relatively low vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) amplitudes typical of the pure inline response. The inelasticity of the soil springs is also used to calculate the associated contribution to the modal damping ratio.

Arch Action

Natural frequencies, mode shapes and modal damping ratios must be estimated to assess subsea pipeline spans for vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) and response to direct wave loading. Several approximate solutions exist for a linearly elastic pipe under constant axial force supported by linearly elastic springs beyond the span’s shoulders. An exact analytical solution has only recently been published. That solution is used here in a Rayleigh-Ritz approximation to account for arch action arising from combined effects of sag under gravity loads and axial restraint at the shoulders. The method allows survey data to be used directly to quantify arch action. Its accuracy is confirmed by finite element analysis. Further, the modal damping ratio is estimated based on the fractions of the potential energy in bending, the axial force, and the soil springs, all of which are determined analytically. Thus, it is found that the effective modal damping ratio increases without a bound as the axial load approaches the buckling load in compression.

Free damping treatment for a marine life hoist of the helicopter is analyzed in this paper. Based on the pipe structure used in actual life hoist bracket, the complex rigidity method is used to analyze the damping loss factor of the pipe structure. When the temperature is 30°C and the thickness of the damping material is 2.5mm, the damping loss factor of the structure increases by 9.83 times. The damping ratio of the first mode reaches 11.61%. The results indicate that the free damping treatment can obviously increase the damping loss factor and the modal damping ratio of the structure, which can mitigate structural vibration and reduce noise induced by the vibration.

By using ODS (Operating Deflection Shapes) technology, the modal parameters of the rack of a batching system mixer under operating condition are identified and the modal shape and modal damping ratio of the rack in a few working frequencies are obtained. The results show that, the batching machine rack on working condition has a significant effect on some frequency and the work principal modes that appear as before and after exercise of two beams above the rack and swaying motion of the brackets of the two side surface. This paper provides a valuable reference for the structure vibration optimization of batching system mixer.
