Shear Modes

As the length of a traction-free annular cylinder is increased, distinct members within any family of radial or longitudinal shear modes have natural frequencies that asymptotically approach a common nonzero value. Such modes, potentially having significantly different numbers of nodes along the cylinder’s generator, can have natural frequencies that are indistinguishable from one another within the resolution of test equipment or numerical simulation. The three-dimensional vibration model discussed here predicts the formation of narrow “frequency clusters” with the cylinder’s increasing length, the converged value of which bounds from below the frequencies of all modes within a particular family. In addition to these spectral characteristics, frequency clusters have implications for the forced response of annular cylinders. For the particular families of modes that are of interest here, the steady-state harmonic response at frequencies near a cluster can be spatially confined with displacements that decay rapidly away from the point of maximum response. At other driving frequencies, the response is distributed more uniformly along the length of the cylinder. The derived analytical model is compared with results from laboratory measurements, and from the predictions of wave propagation theory in the limit of infinite cylinder length.

Abstract As the length of a traction-free annudar cylinder is increased, distinct members within any family of radial or longitudinal shear modes have natural frequencies that asymptotically approach a common non-zero value. Such modes, potentially having significantly different numbers of nodes along the cylinder’s generator, can have natural frequencies that are indistinguishable from one another within the resolution of test equipment or numerical simulation. The three-dimensional vibration model discussed here predicts the formation of narrow “frequency clusters” with the cylinder’s increasing length, the converged value of which bounds from below the frequencies of all modes within a particular family. In addition to these spectral characteristics, frequency clusters have implications for the forced response of annular cylinders. For the particular families of modes that are of interest here, the steady state harmonic response at frequencies near a cluster can be spatially confined with displacements that decay rapidly away from the point of maximum response. At other driving frequencies, the response is distributed more uniformly along the length of the cylinder. The derived analytical model is compared with results from laboratory measurements, and from the predictions of wave propagation theory in the limit of infinite cylinder length.

Abstract Vibration of an array of stacked annular plates, in which adjacent plates couple weakly through an acoustic layer, is investigated through experimental and theoretical methods. Such acoustic coupling manifests itself through split natural frequencies, beating in the time responses of adjacent or separated plates, and system-level modes in which plates in the array vibrate in- or out-of-phase at closely-spaced frequencies. Laboratory measurements, including a technique in which the frequency response function of all in-phase modes but no out-of-phase modes, or visa versa, is measured, demonstrate the contribution of coupling to the natural frequency spectrum, and identify the combinations of design parameters for which it is important. For the lower modes of primary interest here, the natural frequencies of the out-of-phase system modes decrease as the air layer becomes thinner, while those of the in-phase mode remain sensibly constant at the in vacuo values. A vibration model comprising N classical thin plates that couple through the three-dimensional acoustic fields established in the annular cavities between plates is developed, and its results are compared with measurements of the natural frequencies and mode shapes.

Thick Cylinder

Based on their three-dimensional mode shapes, the vibrational modes of free finite length thick cylinders can be classified into 6 categories, consisting of pure radial, radial motion with radial shearing, extensional, circumferential, axial bending, and global modes. This classification, together with the numbers of both the circumferential and the longitudinal nodes, is sufficient to identify each mode of a finite length thick cylinder. The mode classification was verified experimentally by measurements on a thick cylinder. According to the displacement distribution ratio in the radial, tangential and longitudinal directions, the effect of varying cylinder length on the vibrational modes is such that all the modes can be broadly categorized as either pure radial modes, or non pure radial modes. The natural frequencies and mode shapes of the former are dependent upon only the radial dimensions of the models, while the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the latter are dependent upon both the axial length and radial thickness.

The dynamic performance of the piezoelectric vibrator used in ultrasonic EDM machine in natural frequencies has a great effect on machining precision. Firstly, Through theoretical analysis the dynamic characteristics of the piezoelectric vibrator is obtained. Then the three-dimensional model of the piezoelectric vibrator is constructed by using PRO/E software, and model analysis is carried by using FEM software. Through theoretical analysis and FEM simulation, the appropriate working frequency and mode of the piezoelectric vibrator was found, and the piezoelectric vibrator was fabricated. Experimented results show that the model analysis of frequency is accord with that of FEM.

AbstractFree vibration analysis of functionally graded (FG) curved panels integrated with piezoelectric layers under various boundary conditions is studied. A panel with two opposite edges is simply supported, and arbitrary boundary conditions at the other edges are considered. Two different models of material property variations based on the power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents and the exponential law distribution of the material properties through the thickness are considered. Based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity, an approach combining the state space method and the differential quadrature method (DQM) is used. For the simply supported boundary conditions, closed-form solution is given by making use of the Fourier series expansion, and applying the differential quadrature method to the state space formulations along the axial direction, new state equations about state variables at discrete points are obtained for the other cases such as clamped or free-end conditions. Natural frequencies of the hybrid curved panels are presented by solving the eigenfrequency equation, which can be obtained by using edges boundary conditions in this state equation. The results obtained for only FGM shell is verified by comparing the natural frequencies with the results obtained in the literature.

A torsional vibration model of the slewing mechanism of a hydraulic excavator is developed to predict its free vibration characteristics with consideration of many fundamental factors, such as the mesh stiffness of gear pairs, the coupling relationship of a two stage planetary gear trains and the variety of moment of inertia of the input end caused by the motion of work equipment. The natural frequencies are solved using the corresponding eigenvalue problem. Taking the moment of inertia of the input end for example to illustrate the relationship between the natural frequencies of the slewing mechanism and its parameters, based on the simulation results, just the first order frequency varies significantly with the moment of inertia of the input end of the slewing mechanism.

Shear Area

This work discusses procedures used to determine effective shear area of ship sections. Five types of ships have been studied. Initially, the vertical natural frequencies of an acrylic scale model 3m in length in a laboratory at university are obtained from experimental tests and from a three dimensional numerical model, and are compared to those calculated from a one dimensional model which the effective shear area was calculated by a practical computational method based on thin-walled section Shear Flow Theory. The second studied ship was a ship employed in midshipmen training. Two models were made to complement some studies and vibration measurements made for those ships in the end of 1980 decade when some vibration problems in them were solved as a result of that effort. Comparisons were made between natural frequencies obtained experimentally, numerically from a three dimensional finite element model and from a one dimensional model in which effective shear area is considered. The third and fourth were, respectively, a tanker ship and an AHTS (Anchor Handling Tug Supply) boat, both with comparison between three and one dimensional models results out of water. Experimental tests had been performed in these two ships and their results were used in other comparison made after the inclusion of another important effect that acts simultaneously: the added mass. Finally, natural frequencies experimental and numerical results of a barge are presented. The natural frequencies numerical results of vertical hull vibration obtained from these approximations of effective shear areas for the five ships are finally discussed.

Forced Responses

The electric excitation and the parameter excitation from mesh stiffness fluctuation are analyzed. The forced response equations of the drive system to the coupled excitations are presented. For the exciting frequencies far from and near natural frequencies, the forced responses of the drive system to the coupled excitations are investigated. Results show that the nonlinear forced responses of the drive system to the coupled excitations change periodically and unsteadily; the time period of the nonlinear forced responses depends on the frequencies of the electric excitation, the mesh parameter excitation, and the nonlinear natural frequencies of the drive system; in order to improve the dynamics performance of the drive system, the frequencies of the electric excitations should not be taken as integral multiple of the mesh parameter exciting frequency.

Response Variation

The paper presents the results of a study looking into changes in the forced response levels of bladed disc assemblies subject to both structural and aerodynamic mistuning. A whole annulus FE model, representative of a civil aero-engine fan with 26 blades was used in the calculations. The forced response of all blades of 1000 random mistuned patterns was calculated. The aerodynamic parameters, frequency shifts and damping, were calculated using a three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes aero-elasticity code. They were randomly varied for each mistuning pattern, with the assumption that the system would remain stable, i.e. flutter would not occur due to aerodynamic mistuning. The results show the variation of the forced response with different types of mistuning, with structural mistuning only, with aerodynamic mistuning only and with both structural and aerodynamic mistuning.
