A frequency-domain technique to extract the normal mode shapes from the contaminated FRF measurements for highly coupled structures is developed. The relation between the complex FRFs and the normal mode shapes is derived. It is found that the normal mode shape cannot be extracted exactly from the complex mode shape. However, an exact relation between the normal mode shape and the complex FRF does exist. In the present method, only the magnitude and phase data at the undamped natural frequencies are utilized to extract the normal mode shapes. Hence, the effects of measurement noise can be reduced. A numerical example is employed to illustrate the applicability of the technique. The results indicate that this technique can successfully extract the normal modes from the noisy frequency response functions of a highly coupled structure.

Abstract A frequency-domain technique to extract the normal mode from the measurement data for highly coupled structures is developed. The relation between the complex frequency response functions and the normal frequency response functions is derived. An algorithm is developed to calculate the normal modes from the complex frequency response functions. In this algorithm, only the magnitude and phase data at the undamped natural frequencies are utilized to extract the normal mode shapes. In addition, the developed technique is independent of the damping types. It is only dependent on the model of analysis. Two experimental examples are employed to illustrate the applicability of the technique. The effects due to different measurement locations are addressed. The results indicate that this technique can successfully extract the normal modes from the noisy frequency response functions of a highly coupled incomplete system.

A free flexural vibrations of a spinning, finite Timoshenko beam for the six classical boundary conditions are analytically solved and presented for the first time. Expressions for computing natural frequencies and mode shapes are given. Numerical simulation studies show that the simply-supported beam possesses very peculiar free vibration characteristics: There exist two sets of natural frequencies corresponding to each mode shape, and the forward and backward precession mode shapes of each set coincide identically. These phenomena are not observed in beams with the other five types of boundary conditions. In these cases, the forward and backward precessions are different, implying that each natural frequency corresponds to a single mode shape.

The vibration-based damage identification method extracts the damage location and severity information from the change of modal properties, such as natural frequency and mode shape. Its performance and accuracy depends on the measurement precision. Laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) provides a noncontact vibration measurement of high quality, but usually it can only do sampling on a single point. Scanning LDV is normally used to obtain the mode shape with a longer scanning time. In this paper, a damage detection technique is proposed using a self-synchronizing multipoint LDV. Multiple laser beams with various frequency shifts are projected on different points of the object, reflected and interfered with a common reference beam. The interference signal containing synchronized temporal vibration information of multiple spatial points is captured by a single photodetector and can be retrieved in a very short period. Experiments are conducted to measure the natural frequencies and mode shapes of pre- and postcrack cantilever beams. Mode shape curvature is calculated by numerical interpolation and windowed Fourier analysis. The results show that the artificial crack can be identified precisely from the change of natural frequencies and the difference of mode shape curvature squares.

This paper studies the influence of adhesive dimensions on the transverse free vibration of the single-lap adhesive cantilevered beams. The researches are performed by employing software ansys .Efficient analytic results of natural frequencies and mode shapes of transverse free vibration of the beams are provided, corresponding to different adhesive dimensions of bonded thicknesses and bondlines length. Bondlines length has more significant influence on the transverse natural frequencies and the lap joint’s mode shapes of the beams than bonded thickness. The transverse natural frequencies decrease with a decrease in the bondlines length of adhesive, but do not appear to variation observably with a decrease in the bonded thickness. Bondlines length shorting, the lap joint has a sharper mode shape. Simultaneously, the lap joint of even mode shapes influences the dynamic response of the beams significantly. These results indicate a local crack in adhesive layers because of the existence of stress concentration.

The dynamic characteristic of a uniform rectangular plate with four boundary conditions and carrying three kinds of multiple concentrated element (rigidly attached point masses, linear springs and elastically mounted point masses) was investigated. Firstly, the closed-form solutions for the natural frequencies and the corresponding normal mode shapes of a rectangular ‘bare’ (or ‘unconstrained’) plate (without any attachments) with the specified boundary conditions were determined analytically. Next, by using these natural frequencies and normal mode shapes incorporated with the expansion theory, the equation of motion of the ‘constrained’ plate (carrying the three kinds of multiple concentrated element) were derived. Finally, numerical methods were used to solve this equation of motion to give the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the ‘constrained’ plate. To confirm the reliability of previous free vibration analysis results, a finite element analysis was also conducted. It was found that the results obtained from the above-mentioned two approaches were in good agreement. Compared with the conventional finite element method (FEM), the approach employed in this paper has the advantages of saving computing time and achieving better accuracy, as can be seen from the existing literature.

The Stability

It is shown that a non-generic bifurcation of non-linear normal modes may occur if the ratio of linear natural frequencies is near r-to-one, r = 1, 3, 5 ·······. Non-generic bifurcations are explicitly obtained in the systems having certain symmetry, as observed frequently in literatures. It is found that there are two kinds of non-generic bifurcations, super-critical and sub-critical. The normal mode generated by the former kind is extended to large amplitude, but that by the latter kind is limited to small amplitude which depends on the difference between two linear natural frequencies and disappears when two frequencies are equal. Since a non-generic bifurcation is not generic, it is expected generically that if a system having a non-generic bifurcation is perturbed then the non-generic bifurcation disappears and generic bifurcation appear in the perturbed system. Examples are given to verify the change in bifurcations and to obtain the stability behavior of normal modes. It is found that if a system having a super-critical non-generic bifurcation is perturbed, then two new normal modes are generated, one is stable, but the other unstable, implying a saddle-node bifurcation. If the system having a sub-critical non-generic bifurcation is perturbed, then no new normal mode is generated, but there is an interval of instability on a normal mode, implying two saddle-node bifurcations on the mode. Application of this study is discussed.

This paper presents a method for modeling the dynamic properties of steel–polymer concrete beams, the basic structural components of machine tools, assembly lines, vibratory machines, and other structures subjected to time-varying loads during operation. The presented method of modeling steel–polymer concrete beams was developed using the finite element method. Three models of beams differing in cross-sectional dimensions showed high agreement with experimental data: relative error in the case of natural frequencies did not exceed 5% (2.2% on average), the models were characterized by the full agreement of mode shapes and high agreement of frequency response functions with the results of experimental tests. Additionally, the developed beam models supported the reliable description of complex structures, as demonstrated on a spatial frame, obtaining a relative error for natural frequencies of less than 3% (on average 1.7%). Full agreement with the mode shapes and high agreement with the frequency response functions were achieved in the analyzed frequency range.

The discrete orthogonal wavelet-Galerkin method is illustrated as an effective method for solving partial differential equations (PDE's) with spatially varying parameters on a bounded interval. Daubechies scaling functions provide a concise but adaptable set of basis functions and allow for implementation of varied loading and boundary conditions. These basis functions can also effectively describe C0 continuous parameter spatial dependence on bounded domains. Doing so allows the PDE to be discretized as a set of linear equations composed of known inner products which can be stored for efficient parametric analyses. Solution schemes for both free and forced PDE's are developed; natural frequencies, mode shapes, and frequency response functions for an Euler–Bernoulli beam with piecewise varying thickness are calculated. The wavelet-Galerkin approach is shown to converge to the first four natural frequencies at a rate greater than that of the linear finite element approach; mode shapes and frequency response functions converge similarly.

In this study the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the kth order of nonhomogeneous (deterministic and stochastic) rods are found. The solution is based on the functional perturbation method (FPM). The natural frequency and mode shape of the kth order is found analytically to any desired degree of accuracy. In the deterministic it is shown that the FPM accuracy range for the frequency ω and the mode shape is less then 1%. The stochastic case demonstrates the power of this method. The material and geometrical properties will be considered as statistically homogeneous random field with exponential two-point correlation. It is shown that the accuracy depends on the stochastic information used, the correlation distance (roughly the “grain size”), and whether we are interested in the properties of ω or ω2.

This paper deals with analyzing free vibrations of the symmetric arch. The boundary conditions of the stress resultants are newly derived, which can be replaced by the conventional boundary conditions of the deflections. All solutions of the natural frequency with the mode shape, using the new boundary conditions, are the same as those of the conventional deflections. The boundary conditions mixed with new and conventional conditions act correctly to calculate natural frequencies. The mode shapes of the stress resultants using the new boundary conditions are reported in two types: symmetric and anti-symmetric modes.
