The paper deals with a study of the significance of elastoplastic transition state in the dynamic response of Euler beams and thin plates. The study is based on a comparative evaluation of the responses predicted by two independent approaches that use (i) stress-strain relation and basic plasticity theory and (ii) moment-curvature relation; assuming the shape factor to be unity. Responses are evaluated by way of finite-element idealization followed by numerical integration. It is found that the simplified model, based on moment-curvature relations, underestimates the response by a significant amount for longer durations of the applied load.

In this paper, a finite element study is conducted using the Green Lagrange strain field based on vonKarman assumptions for the geometric nonlinear static and dynamic response of the laminated functionally graded CNT reinforced (FG-CNTRC) composite plate. The governing equations for determining the nonlinear static and dynamic behavior of the FG-CNTRC plate are derived using the Lagrange equation of motion based on Reddy's higher order theory. Using the direct iteration technique, the nonlinear eigenvalues for analyzing the free vibration response are obtained and the nonlinear dynamic responses of the FG-CNTRC plate are encapsulated based on the nonlinear Newmark integration scheme. The impact of the amplitude of vibration on mode switching phenomena and the consequence of the duration of the pulse on the free vibration regime of the plate are outlined. Also, the effect of time dependent loads is studied on the normal stresses of the plate. Furthermore, the impact on the nonlinear static and dynamic response of the laminated FG-CNTRC plate of various parameters such as span-thickness ratio (b/h ratio), aspect ratio (a/b ratio), different edge constraints, CNT fiber gradation, etc. are also studied.

Based on the 3D model of refrigeration's compressor by Pro/E software, the analyses of theoretical and experimental mode are carried out in this paper. The results show that the finite element models of compressor have high precision dynamic response characteristics and the natural frequency of the compressor, based on experimental modal analysis, can be accurately obtained, which will contribute to further dynamic designs of mechanical structures.

In this paper, representation of the effects of incompressible fluid on the dynamic response of parallel beams in fluid-filled containers is developed using the concept of hydrodynamic mass. Using a two-step process, first the hydrodynamic mass matrix per unit (beam) length is derived using finite element methods with a thermal analogy. Second, this mass matrix is distributed in a consistent mass fashion along the beam lengths in a manner that accommodates three-dimensional beam bending plus torsion. The technique is illustrated by application to analysis of an experiment involving vibration of an array of four tubes in a fluid-filled cylinder.

Abstract This paper reports on the application of Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry (ESPI) technique in vibration measurement of turbine blading. Using the time-averaged mode of ESPI, the first six modes of a turbocharger blade with airfoil profile were identified. The effect of the complicated profile of the blade was established by studying simplified model blades. Coupled modes were identified and successfully separated. Experimental results are compared with those obtained using finite element analysis.
