Cylindrical Shells are widely used in many structural designs, such as offshore structures, liquid storage tanks, submarine hulls, and airplane hulls. Most of these structures are required to operate in a dynamic environment. The acoustic signature of submarines is very critical in such high performance structure. Submarines are not only required to sustain very high dynamic loadings at all time, but also being able maneuver and perform their functions under sea without being detected by sonar systems. Reduction of sound radiation is most efficiently achieved at the design stage, and the acoustic signatures may be determined by considering operational scenarios, and modal characteristics. The acoustic signature of submarines is generally of two categories; broadband which has a continuous spectrum; and a tonal noise which has discrete frequencies. Therefore, investigating the dynamic characteristics of cylindrical shells is very critical first step in developing a strategy for modal vibration control for specific operating conditions. Unlike those of beam structure, the lowest natural frequency does not necessarily correspond to the lowest wave index. In fact, the natural frequencies do not fall in ascending order of the wave index in cylindrical shells. Mode shapes associated with each natural frequency are combination of Radial, Longitudinal, and Circumferential modes. In this paper, a scaled model of submarine hull segment under shear diaphragm boundary conditions is analyzed analytically and numerically. Then experimental modal analysis of the scaled model utilizing a fixed response approach was performed to obtain the modal characteristics of the cylindrical shell between 0 and 800 Hz. The cylinder was excited at predetermined points with an impact hammer, while the response was measured using an accelerometer at specified fixed point. Designing a boundary condition that simulate a shear diaphragm is very challenging task by itself. A total of ten natural frequencies were found within that range with their corresponding mode shapes. The experimental data were correlated with those results obtained analytically and numerically using the finite element methods using MSC.NASTRAN software. The results were found to be in excellent agreement.

A new analytical and numerical method is presented for modeling and analysis of cylindrical shells stiffened by circumferential rings. This method treats the shell and ring stiffeners as individual structural components, and considers the ring eccentricity with respect to the shell middle surface. Through use of the distributed transfer functions of the structural components, various static and dynamic problems of stiffened shells are systematically formulated. With this transfer function formulation, the static and dynamic response, natural frequencies and mode shapes, and buckling loads of general stiffened cylindrical shells under arbitrary external excitations and boundary conditions can be determined in exact and closed form. The proposed method is illustrated on a Donnell-Mushtari shell, and compared with finite element method and two other modeling techniques.

In this study, the “Free Asymmetric Vibrations of Composite Full Circular Cylindrical Shells Stiffened by A Bonded Non-Central Shell Segment” are analyzed and investigated in some detail. The “full” circular cylindrical “base” shell and the non-centrally bonded circular cylindrical shell “stiffener” are assumed to be made of dissimilar orthotropic materials. The “base” shell and the “stiffening” shell segment are adhesively bonded by an in-between, relatively very thin, yet linearly elastic adhesive layer. In the theoretical analysis, for both shell elements, a “First Order Shear Deformation Shell Theory (FSDST)” such as “Timoshenko-Mindlin -(and Reissner)” type is employed. The damping effects in the entire system are neglected. The sets of dynamic equations of both “base” shell and “stiffening” shell segment and the adhesive layer are combined together, manipulated and are, finally, reduced to a “Governing System of First Order Ordinary Differential Equations” in Forms of the “state vectors” of the problem. This result constitutes a so-called “Two-Point Boundary Value Problem” for the entire composite shell system, which facilitates the present solution procedure. The final system of equations is numerically integrated by means of the “Modified Transfer Matrix Method (MTMM) (with Chebyshev Polynomials)”. The typical mode shapes with their natural frequencies are presented for several sets of support conditions. The very significant effect of the “hard” and the “soft” adhesive layer on the mode shapes and the natural frequencies are demonstrated. Some important parametric studies (such as the “Joint Length Ratio”, etc.) are also presented.

Abstract Natural frequencies and vibrating motions are determined in terms of the material and geometric properties of a radial tire modeled as a thin ring on an elastic foundation. Experimental checks of resonant frequencies show good agreement. Forced vibration solutions obtained are shown to consist of a superposition of resonant vibrations, each rotating around the tire at a rate depending on the mode number and the tire rotational speed. Theoretical rolling speeds that are upper bounds at which standing waves occur are determined and checked experimentally. Digital Fourier transform, transfer function, and modal analysis techniques used to determine the resonant mode shapes of a radial tire reveal that antiresonances are the primary transmitters of vibration to the tire axle.

Rotating systems components such as rotors, have dynamic characteristics that are of great importance to understand because they may cause failure of turbomachinery. Therefore, it is required to study a dynamic model to predict some vibration characteristics, in this case, the natural frequencies and mode shapes (both of free vibration) of a centrifugal compressor shaft. The peculiarity of the dynamic model proposed is that using frequency and displacements values obtained experimentally, it is possible to calculate the mass and stiffness distribution of the shaft, and then use these values to estimate the theoretical modal parameters. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the shaft were obtained with experimental modal analysis by using the impact test. The results predicted by the model are in good agreement with the experimental test. The model is also flexible with other geometries and has a great time and computing performance, which can be evaluated with respect to other commercial software in the future.

Due to their lightweight properties, fiber-reinforced composites are well suited for large and fast rotating structures, such as fan blades in turbomachines. To investigate rotor safety and performance, in situ measurements of the structural dynamic behaviour must be performed during rotating conditions. An approach to measuring spatially resolved vibration responses of a rotating structure with a non-contact, non-rotating sensor is investigated here. The resulting spectra can be assigned to specific locations on the structure and have similar properties to the spectra measured with co-rotating sensors, such as strain gauges. The sampling frequency is increased by performing consecutive measurements with a constant excitation function and varying time delays. The method allows for a paradigm shift to unambiguous identification of natural frequencies and mode shapes with arbitrary rotor shapes and excitation functions without the need for co-rotating sensors. Deflection measurements on a glass fiber-reinforced polymer disk were performed with a diffraction grating-based sensor system at 40 measurement points with an uncertainty below 15 μrad and a commercial triangulation sensor at 200 measurement points at surface speeds up to 300 m/s. A rotation-induced increase of two natural frequencies was measured, and their mode shapes were derived at the corresponding rotational speeds. A strain gauge was used for validation.

The paper examines effectiveness of the vibration correlation technique which allows determining the buckling or limit loads by means of measured natural frequencies of structures. A steel silo segment with a corrugated wall, stiffened with cold-formed channel section columns was analysed. The investigations included numerical analyses of: linear buckling, dynamic eigenvalue and geometrically static non-linear problems. Both perfect and imperfect geometries were considered. Initial geometrical imperfections included first and second buckling and vibration mode shapes with three amplitudes. The vibration correlation technique proved to be useful in estimating limit or buckling loads. It was very efficient in the case of small and medium imperfection magnitudes. The significant deviations between the predicted and calculated buckling and limit loads occurred when large imperfections were considered.
