A first known investigation on the three-dimensional vibration characteristics of conical shell panels is reported. A linear frequency equation is derived based on an exact three-dimensional, small-strain, linearly elastic theory. Sets of one and two-dimensional polynomial series are employed to approximate the spatial displacements of the conical shell panels in three dimension. The perturbation of frequency responses due to the variations of relative thickness L/h, slanted length L/S, vertex angle γv, and subtended angle γo is investigated. First known frequency parameters and three-dimensional deformed mode shapes of the conical shell panels are presented in vivid graphical forms. The new results may serve as benchmark references for validating the new refined shell theories and new computational techniques. [S0021-8936(00)02302-3]

This paper presents an investigation on free vibration of thick prismatic structures (thick-walled open sections of L, T, C, and I shapes). The derivation of a linear frequency equation based on an exact three-dimensional small-strain linearly elastic principle is presented. This formulation uses one and two-dimensional polynomial series to approximate the spatial displacements of the thick-walled open sections in three dimension. The proposed technique is applicable to vibration of thick-walled open sections of different cross-sectional geometries and end support conditions. In this study, however, we focus primarily on the cantilevered case which has high value in practical applications. The perturbation of frequency responses due to the variations of cross-sectional geometries and wall thicknesses is investigated. First-known frequency parameters and three-dimensional deformed mode shapes of these thick-walled open sections are presented in vivid graphical forms. The new results may serve as a benchmark reference to future research into the refined beam and plate theories and also for checking the accuracy of new numerical techniques.

Abstract This paper presents an analytical investigation on the free vibration characteristics of symmetric sandwich conical shell with functionally graded material (FGM) face sheets using finite element method. Sandwich-type structures offer higher stiffness to weight ratio with excellent thermal barrier in high temperature application extending the operational life of the component. The sandwich-type conical structure used in the advanced supersonic and hypersonic space vehicles. The material properties of FGM face sheets are considered to be varied in thickness direction as per simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the FGM constituents. The core layer is considered as homogeneous and made of an isotropic material (Titanium alloy-Ti–6Al–4V). A finite element method is used to reduce the governing equations of vibration problem. The QR iteration algorithm used to solve the standard eigen value problem for determine the natural frequencies. Convergence studies are performed in respect of mesh sizes to substantiate the accuracy of the proposed method. Computer codes developed to obtain the numerical results for the combined effects of twist angle and rotational speed on the free vibration characteristics of symmetric sandwich conical shell with FGM face sheets. A detailed numerical study is carried out to examine the influence of the sandwich plate type, volume fraction index on the free vibration characteristics. The typical mode shapes are also illustrated for different cases.

A three-dimensional elasticity-based continuum model is developed for describing the free vibrational characteristics of an important class of isotropic, homogeneous, and completely free structural bodies (i.e., finite cylinders, solid spheres, and rectangular parallelepipeds) containing an arbitrarily located simple inhomogeneity in form of a spherical or cylindrical defect. The solution method uses Ritz minimization procedure with triplicate series of orthogonal Chebyshev polynomials as the trial functions to approximate the displacement components in the associated elastic domains, and eventually arrive at the governing eigenvalue equations. An extensive review of the literature spanning over the past three decades is also given herein regarding the free vibration analysis of elastic structures using Ritz approach. Accuracy of the implemented approach is established through proper convergence studies, while the validity of results is demonstrated with the aid of a commercial FEM software, and whenever possible, by comparison with other published data. Numerical results are provided and discussed for the first few clusters of eigen-frequencies corresponding to various mode categories in a wide range of cavity eccentricities. Also, the corresponding 3D mode shapes are graphically illustrated for selected eccentricities. The numerical results disclose the vital influence of inner cavity eccentricity on the vibrational characteristics of the voided elastic structures. In particular, the activation of degenerate frequency splitting and incidence of internal/external mode crossings are confirmed and discussed. Most of the results reported herein are believed to be new to the existing literature and may serve as benchmark data for future developments in computational techniques.

This paper presents the results of a study of the vibration characteristics of low aspect ratio compressor blades. The treatment is based on thin shell theory and the Rayleigh-Ritz method is used to obtain the eigenvectors and eigenvalues. The object is to elucidate those characteristics which are inaccessible using beam theory. Results are presented which show the variation of the natural frequencies and mode shapes with angle of twist, aspect ratio, and angle of inclination of the base of the blade. A three-dimensional plot of the bending mode frequencies versus aspect ratio and twist angle is presented. Although the surfaces describing the variation of frequencies for specific modes do not intersect, there is a point of contact. This contact point is significant in the transition of mode shapes along the frequency surfaces. It is demonstrated that the “stiff-direction” or “in-plane” vibration of the untwisted plate evolves into coupled bending modes as the twist angle increases from zero and that the character of these modes changes in the vicinity of the contact point.

An analysis is presented for the three-dimensional vibration problem of determining the natural frequencies and the mode shapes of a truncated quadrangular pyramid. For this purpose, the body is transformed into a right quadrangular prism with unit edge lengths by a transformation of variables. With the displacements of the transformed prism assumed in the forms of algebraic polynomials, the dynamical energies of the prism are evaluated, and the frequency equation is derived by the Ritz method. This method is applied to quadrangular pyramids in which the base is clamped and the other sides are free, and the natural frequencies (the eigenvalues of vibration) and the mode shapes are calculated numerically, from which the vibration characteristics arising in the pyramids are studied.

Self-pierce riveting (SPR) is nowadays widely used in the car manufacturing industry where aluminium alloys are used for body construction. For the design of mechanical structures, formed by the joining of component parts, a knowledge of the vibration characteristics of different joint types (adhesive bonding, spot welding, SPR etc) is essential. The free transverse vibration characteristics of single lap-jointed encastre SPR beams are investigated theoretically in this paper using the three dimensional finite element method (FEM). Numerical examples are provided to show the influence on the natural frequencies, natural frequency ratios and mode shapes of these beams caused by variations in the material properties (E and υ) of the sheet material. It is shown that the transverse natural frequencies of single lap jointed encastre SPR beams increases significantly as the Young’s Modulus of the sheets increases, but only slight changes are encountered for variations of Poisson’s Ratio. It is found that an exponential curve gives an acceptable fit to the relationship between natural frequency and Young’s Modulus. As expected, odd modes shapes were found to be symmetrical about the mid-length position and even modes were anti-symmetrical.

This paper studies the free vibration of circular toroidal sectors with circular cross-sections based on the three-dimensional small-strain, linear elasticity theory. A set of orthogonal coordinates, composing the polar coordinate (r,θ) with the origin on the cross-sectional centerline of the sector and the circumferential coordinate φ with the origin at the curvature center of the centerline, is developed to describe the displacements, strains, and stresses in the sector. Each of the displacement components is taken as a product of four functions: a set of Chebyshev polynomials in φ and r coordinates, a set of trigonometric series in θ coordinate, and a boundary function in terms of φ. Frequency parameters and mode shapes have been obtained via a displacement-based extremum energy principle. The upper bound convergence of the first eight frequency parameters accurate up to five figures has been achieved. The present results agree with those from the finite element solutions. The effect of the ratio of curvature radius R to the cross-sectional radius a and the subtended angle φ0 on the frequency parameters of the sectors are discussed in detail. The three-dimensional vibration mode shapes are also plotted.

The aim of the following paper is to discuss a newly developed approach for the identification of vibration mode shapes of multilayer composite structures. To overcome the limitations of the approaches based on image analysis (two-dimensional structures, high spatial resolution of mode shapes description), convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are applied to create a three-dimensional mode shapes identification algorithm with a significantly reduced number of mode shape vector coordinates. The CNN-based procedure is accurate, effective, and robust to noisy input data. The appearance of local damage is not an obstacle. The change of the material and the occurrence of local material degradation do not affect the accuracy of the method. Moreover, the application of the proposed identification method allows identifying the material degradation occurrence.

Delamination is definitely an important topic in the area of composite structures as it progressively worsens the mechanical performance of fiber-reinforced polymer composite structures in its service period. The detection and severity analysis of delaminations in engineering areas like the aviation industry is vital for safety and economic considerations. The existence of delaminations varies the vibration characteristics such as natural frequencies, mode shapes, etc. of composites and hence this indication can be effectively used for locating and quantifying the delaminations. The changes in vibration characteristics are considered as inputs for the inverse problem to determine the location and size of delaminations. In this paper Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is used for delamination evaluationof glass fiber-reinforced composite beams using natural frequency as typical vibration parameter. The Finite Element Analysis is used for generating the required dataset for ANN. The frequency-based delamination prediction technique is validated by finite element models and experimental modal analysis. The results indicate that the ANN-based back propagation algorithm can predict the location and size of delaminations in composites with good accuracy for numerical natural frequency data but the accuracy is comparitivelyless for experimental natural frequency data.

In modern industry, the nondestructive testing of printed circuit board (PCB) can prevent effectively the system failure and is becoming more and more important. As a vital part of the PCB, the via connects the devices, the components and the wires and plays a very important role for the connection of the circuits. With the development of testing technology, the nondestructive testing of the via extends from two dimension to three dimension in recent years. This paper proposes a three dimensional detection algorithm using morphology method to test the via. The proposed algorithm takes full advantage of the three dimensional structure and shape information of the via. We have used the proposed method to detect via from PCB images with different size and quality, and found the detection performances to be very encouraging.
