In this article, we consider equations for determining the dynamic characteristics of inhomogeneous elastic elements using refined elastic modulus and Poisson's coefficients depending on the concentration of reinforcing fibers. The dependences of the first three natural frequencies of the seamless bellows on its thickness and depth of corrugation and the first two natural frequencies of the welded bellows on its thickness are identified and analyzed. The frequency response and frequency response of an accelerometer with a UE are obtained depending on its geometric parameters.

This research was conducted on Diesel engine single cylinder which aims to study the dynamic characteristics of Diesel engine type HATZ 1D 80 made in Germany. The test was performed by measuring the Frequency Response Function (FRF). In this study, the vibration response was measured at three points: point A which was situated below the engine shaft and in line with the stinger. Point A indicated the FRF point. Point B was located in the valve train component, while point C was situated above the cap of the valve train component. The range of frequencies applied was 0 - 3200 Hz, 3200 - 6400 Hz, 6400 - 9600 Hz, and 9600 - 11200 Hz. This research indicates that the natural frequencies arose because of the global vibration mode. The global vibration mode occurred at natural frequencies of 3118, 4805, 4821, 5021, 7129, 8601, and 11107 Hz. While other natural frequencies were associated with the local vibration mode because it appears only at one point of measurement.

Building structures are very often operated under the action of dynamic loads, both natural and man-made. The calculation of structures under the influence of static loads has been quite widely studied in detail. When structures are exposed to dynamic loads, additional tests are carried out, where measuring instruments are installed on the structures to register stresses and deformations that occur during dynamic influences. Elastic elements are the responsible functional unit of many measuring instruments. Therefore, the quality of elastic elements ensures the operational stability of the entire structure. This determines the increased attention that is paid to technology and construction to elastic elements. Previously, the work of elastic elements made of homogeneous mono materials with the same physical and geometric properties in all directions and over the entire surface of the element was studied. The elastic element was considered as a shell of rotation with a complex shape of the meridian and various physical and mechanical properties at various points caused by uneven reinforcement. Two types of reinforcement were implied ‒ radial and circular. Elastic shell elements (ESE) operate under conditions of dynamic loading. The equation was derived for determining the dynamic characteristics of inhomogeneous elastic elements. The dependences of the first three natural frequencies of oscillations on the thickness of the shell and the depth of the corrugation and the first two natural frequencies of oscillations on the thickness of the shell have been analyzed. The amplitude-frequency characteristics (AFC) and the phase-frequency characteristics (PFC) of the shell depending on the geometric parameters have been calculated. All these results could significantly improve the quality of the readings of the instruments, which depend on the sensitivity of the shell elastic elements. And it, in turn, depends on the geometric and physical properties of the shell elastic elements.

HighlightsThe frequency domain modal parameters identification method was applied to a ginkgo tree.Dynamic characteristics of the ginkgo tree were tested during five phenological periods.Almost all resonance frequencies were near the peaks of the frequency response curves.Leaves caused the number of natural frequencies of the ginkgo tree to be greatly reduced.Abstract. Understanding the dynamic characteristics of fruit trees is the premise of effective mechanized harvesting. This study performed a tracking test on a ginkgo tree in five phenological periods from the dormant period to the leaf-unfolding period. The frequency domain modal parameters identification method was applied to the ginkgo tree, and the relationship between the natural frequencies and resonance frequencies of the ginkgo tree was obtained. The main factors affecting the fundamental frequency and damping ratio of the ginkgo tree were not the elastic modulus and moisture content but rather the growth of the leaves. The growth of leaves caused the number of natural frequencies in the low-frequency band to be greatly reduced, and the value of the natural frequencies exhibited a slightly decreasing tendency. The damping caused by leaves had a significant weakening effect on the transmission of vibrational energy on the lateral branches. The resonance frequencies that caused strong response of the ginkgo tree were mostly near the peak frequencies of the frequency response curves (natural frequencies), but eccentric motor excitation could not effectively stimulate all the natural frequencies of the ginkgo tree to reach resonance. In the frequency response curves of the ginkgo tree, the main natural frequency with the maximum energy might not cause the maximum vibration response of the ginkgo tree, even if this excitation frequency could induce resonance. Resonance could be used to maximize the transfer of excitation energy, but each position of the tree had its own independent frequency spectrum characteristics. A single excitation frequency could not cause all positions of the ginkgo tree to resonate simultaneously. Changing the excitation frequency of harvesting equipment within a small frequency range could achieve the maximum resonance response of most positions on fruit trees. Keywords: Dynamic characteristics, Growth periods, Leaves, Natural frequencies, Resonance.

The estimate of internal prestressing in concrete beams is essential for the assessment of their structural reliability. Many scholars have tackled multiple and diverse methods to estimate the measurable effects of prestressing. Among them, many experimented with dynamics-based techniques; however, these clash with the theoretical independence of the natural frequencies of the forces of internally prestressed beams. This paper examines the feasibility of a hybrid approach based on dynamic identification and the knowledge of the elastic modulus. Specifically, the author considered the effect of the axial deformation on the beam length and the weight per unit of volume. It is questioned whether the uncertainties related to the estimate of the elastic modulus and the first natural frequency yield reasonable estimates of the internal prestressing. The experimental testing of a set of full-scale concrete girders with known design prestressing supports a discussion about its practicability. The author found that the uncertainty in estimating the natural frequencies and elastic modulus significantly undermines a reliable estimate of the prestressing state.

Localizing small damages often requires sensors be mounted in the proximity of damage to obtain high Signal-to-Noise Ratio in system frequency response to input excitation. The proximity requirement limits the applicability of existing schemes for low-severity damage detection as an estimate of damage location may not be known  a priori. In this work it is shown that spatial locality is not a fundamental impediment; multiple small damages can still be detected with high accuracy provided that the frequency range beyond the first five natural frequencies is utilized in the Frequency response functions (FRF) curvature method. The proposed method presented in this paper applies sensitivity analysis to systematically unearth frequency ranges capable of elevating damage index peak at correct damage locations. It is a baseline-free method that employs a smoothing polynomial to emulate reference curvatures for the undamaged structure. Numerical simulation of steel-beam shows that small multiple damages of severity as low as 5% can be reliably detected by including frequency range covering 5–10th natural frequencies. The efficacy of the scheme is also experimentally validated for the same beam. It is also found that a simple noise filtration scheme such as a Gaussian moving average filter can adequately remove false peaks from the damage index profile.

Under high-speed and heavy-load conditions, the influence of temperature on the gear system is extremely important. Basically, the current work on the effect of temperature mostly considers the flash temperature or the overall temperature field to cause expansion at the meshing point and then affects nonlinear factors such as time-varying meshing stiffness, which lead to the deterioration of the dynamic transmission. This work considers the effect of temperature on the material’s elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio and relates the temperature to the time-varying meshing stiffness. The effects of temperature on the elastic modulus and Poisson’s ratio are expressed as functions and brought into the improved energy method stiffness calculation formula. Then, the dynamic characteristics of the gear system are analyzed. With the bifurcation diagram, phase, Poincaré, and fast Fourier transform plots of the gear system, the influence of temperature on the nonlinear dynamics of the gear system is discussed. The numerical analysis results show that as the temperature increases, the dynamic response of the system in the middle-speed region gradually changes from periodic motion to chaos.

This work investigates the natural vibration characteristics of free-form shells when considering the influence of uncertainties, including initial geometric imperfection, shell thickness deviation, and elastic modulus deviation. Herein, free-form shell models are generated while using a self-coded optimization algorithm. The Latin hypercube sampling (LHS) method is used to draw the samplings of uncertainties with respect to their stochastic probability models. ANSYS finite element (FE) software is adopted to analyze the natural vibration characteristics and compute the natural frequencies. The mean values, standard deviations, and cumulative distributions functions (CDFs) of the first three natural frequencies are obtained. The partial correlation coefficient is adopted to rank the significances of uncertainty factors. The study reveals that, for the free-form shells that were investigated in this study, the natural frequencies is a random quantity with a normal distribution; elastic modulus deviation imposes the greatest effect on natural frequencies; shell thickness ranks the second; geometrical imperfection ranks the last, with a much lower weight than the other two factors, which illustrates that the shape of the studied free-form shells is robust in term of natural vibration characteristics; when the supported edges are fixed during the shape optimization, the stochastic characteristics do not significantly change during the shape optimization process.

Timoshenko beams have been widely used in structural and mechanical systems. Under dynamic loading, the analytical solution of a Timoshenko beam is often difficult to obtain due to the complexity involved in the equation of motion. In this paper, a modal perturbation method is introduced to approximately determine the dynamic characteristics of a Timoshenko beam. In this approach, the differential equation of motion describing the dynamic behavior of the Timoshenko beam can be transformed into a set of nonlinear algebraic equations. Therefore, the solution process can be simplified significantly for the Timoshenko beam with arbitrary boundaries. Several examples are given to illustrate the application of the proposed method. Numerical results have shown that the modal perturbation method is effective in determining the modal characteristics of Timoshenko beams with high accuracy. The effects of shear distortion and moment of inertia on the natural frequencies of Timoshenko beams are discussed in detail.

Horizontally curved bridges have complicated dynamic characteristics because of their irregular geometry and nonuniform mass and stiffness distributions. This paper aims to develop a simplified and practical method for the calculation of the natural frequencies and mode shapes of horizontally curved bridges that would be of interest to bridge engineers for the estimation of the seismic response of these types of bridges. For this purpose, a simple three-degree-of-freedom (3DOF) dynamic model for free vibration equation of this type of bridge has been developed. It is shown that the translational motion of the deck of horizontally curved bridges in the direction that is perpendicular to their axis of symmetry is always coupled with the rotational motion of the deck, regardless of the location of the stiffness center. The model is further exploited to develop closed-form formulas for the estimation of the maximum displacements of the corners of the deck of one-way asymmetric horizontally curved bridges. The accuracy of the model is verified by finite-element model of a horizontally curved bridge prototype in OpenSEES. Finally, the model is utilized to study the influence of the location of the stiffness center with respect to the deck curvature center on the natural frequency and the maximum displacements of the corners of the deck for different curvatures of the deck. The results of free vibration analysis show that the natural frequencies of one-way asymmetric horizontally curved bridges, in general, increase with the increase of the subtended angle of the deck. The results of earthquake response spectrum analysis show that the increase in the subtended angle of one-way asymmetric horizontally curved bridges decreases the radial displacements of the corners of the deck but increases the azimuthal displacement. These two responses both increase with the increase in the distance between the stiffness center and the curvature center.
