A relatively thin—thickness to radius ratio—circular ring with rectangular cross section has been investigated to numerically evaluate the effect of eccentricity on the in plane bending natural frequencies and mode shapes. The assumed boundary conditions correspond to a ring freely supported in space such that it is free to translate and rotate with rigid body motion. A truncated Fourier series solution is assumed in an energy formulation to obtain numerical approximations of the eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenvectors for different eccentricities. Extensional and inextensional models for both Flu¨gge and Love-Timoshenko ring models were considered with two thickness to radius ratios. Results show different rates of decrease in the magnitudes of the natural frequencies for different mode configurations. Existence of closely spaced frequencies along with modal coupling are noticeable at 50 percent eccentricity.

In this paper, we look for non-uniform Rayleigh beams isospectral to a given uniform Rayleigh beam. Isospectral systems are those that have the same spectral properties, i.e. the same free vibration natural frequencies for a given boundary condition. A transformation is proposed that converts the fourth-order governing differential equation of non-uniform Rayleigh beam into a uniform Rayleigh beam. If the coefficients of the transformed equation match with those of the uniform beam equation, then the non-uniform beam is isospectral to the given uniform beam. The boundary-condition configuration should be preserved under this transformation. We present the constraints under which the boundary configurations will remain unchanged. Frequency equivalence of the non-uniform beams and the uniform beam is confirmed by the finite-element method. For the considered cases, examples of beams having a rectangular cross section are presented to show the application of our analysis.

Phononic crystals (PCs) are a novel class of artificial periodic structure, and their band gap (BG) attributes provide a new technical approach for vibration reduction in piping systems. In this paper, the vibration suppression performance and natural properties of fluid-conveying pipes with periodically varying cross-section are investigated. The flexural wave equation of substructure pipes is established based on the classical beam model and traveling wave property. The spectral element method (SEM) is developed for semi-analytical solutions, the accuracy of which is confirmed by comparison with the available literature and the widely used transfer matrix method (TMM). The BG distribution and frequency response of the periodic pipe are attained, and the natural frequencies and mode shapes are also obtained. The effects of some critical parameters are discussed. It is revealed that the BG of the present pipe system is fundamentally induced by the geometrical difference of the substructure cross-section, and it is also related to the substructure length and fluid–structure interaction (FSI). The number of cells does not contribute to the BG region, while it has significant effects on the amplitude attenuation, higher order natural frequencies and mode shapes. The impact of FSI is more evident for the pipes with smaller numbers of cells. Moreover, compared with the conventional TMM, the present SEM is demonstrated more effective for comprehensive analysis of BG characteristics and free vibration of PC dynamical structures.

In roll balancing the behaviour of the roll can be studied either experimentally with trial weights or, if the roll dimensions are known, analytically by forming a model of the roll to solve response to imbalance. Essential focus in roll balancing is to find the correct amount and placing for the balancing mass or masses. If this selection is done analytically the roll model used in calculations has significant effect to the balancing result. In this paper three different analytic methods are compared. In first method the mode shapes of the roll are defined piece wisely. The roll is divided in to five parts having different cross sections, two shafts, two roll ends and a shell tube of the roll. Two boundary conditions are found for both supports of the roll and four combining equations are written to the interfaces of different roll parts. Totally 20 equations are established to solve the natural frequencies and to form the mode shapes of the non-uniform roll. In second model the flexibility of shafts and the stiffness of the roll ends are added to the support stiffness as serial springs and the roll is modelled as a one flexibly supported beam having constant cross section. Finally the responses to imbalance of previous models are compared to finite element model using beam elements. Benefits and limitations of each three model are then discussed.

This paper is concerned with the vibrational characteristics of pre-twisted cantilever beams of uniform rectangular cross-section allowing for shear deformation and rotary inertia. A method of solution of the differential equations of motion allowing for shear deformation and rotary inertia is presented which is an extension of the method introduced by Dawson (1)§ for the solution of the differential equations of motion of pre-twisted beams neglecting shear and rotary inertia effects. The natural frequencies for the first five modes of vibration are obtained for beams of various breadth to depth ratios and lengths ranging from 3 to 20 in and pre-twist angle in the range 0–90°. The results are compared with those obtained by an alternative method (2), where available, and also to experimental results.

In this study, dynamic behaviour of trapezoidal and sinusoidal corrugated plates which are widely used in the fields of space, aviation, automotive, construction and shipbuilding have been analyzed. 330 different surface models varying according to corrugation height and number have been created for these plates which have various manufacturing parameters. At this stage, the number of analyses is 660. These models have been analyzed for different boundary conditions and modal analyses to obtain natural frequencies and mode shapes have been conducted using finite element method. In addition, changes in the trapezoidal cross-section profile have also been investigated by analyzing 38 different plates with varying cross-section profiles. Examining these results, the effects of corrugation height and number on natural frequencies and mode shapes have been determined. As a result of the study a total of 368 drawings were prepared and 736 analyses were performed. Besides, the theoretical results have been verified using the experimental modal analysis technique for some selected models which are being manufactured in the market.

The Rayleigh-Ritz method is used to determine the natural frequencies and mode shapes of vibration of pre-twisted rectangular cross-section beams. The method is dependent upon a good choice of approximating functions for the dynamic deflection curves. In the present analysis, series of the characteristic functions representing the normal modes of vibration are taken as the approximating functions for the bending displacements in the directions of the co-ordinate axes. The choice of this particular series leads to a considerable reduction in the number of elements in the final matrix equation and also considerably reduces the computing time. The natural frequencies of vibration are obtained for various width-to-thickness ratio beams with pre-twist angle in the range 0-90°, and the mode shapes of vibration are presented for one particular width to thickness ratio beam. The results are compared to results obtained by other methods and to experimental results, and good agreement is shown to exist.

This paper deals with the mass deposition influence on the natural frequencies of nonuniform cantilever resonator sensors of linear and parabolic thickness. Resonator sensitivity, defined as fraction of change in frequency per fraction of change in thickness deposition and relative density, was found. A constant thickness mass deposition on all four lateral surfaces of the cantilever of rectangular cross-section was assumed. Euler-Bernoulli theory was used, so only slender beams were considered. Mass deposition on the free end surface of the beams was neglected. The film thickness was considered very small compared to any beam dimension. The film had no contribution to the beam stiffness, only to the mass. Results show that for the same thickness deposition, the sensitivity in the first mode of beams of linear thickness is 2.5 to 3.5 higher when compared to uniform beams. For beams of parabolic thickness variation the relative sensitivity ranges between 1.5 and 2.1.

The vibration behavior of a cracked cantilever beam with a stationary roving mass and rotary inertia is investigated. The beam is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam with rectangular cross section. The transverse deformation and axial deformation of the cracked beam are coupled through a stiffness matrix which is determined based on fracture mechanics principles. The analytical solutions are obtained for the natural frequencies and mode shapes of a cracked cantilever beam with a roving mass and rotary inertia. The effects of the location and depth of the crack, the location and the weight of the roving mass and rotary inertia on the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the beam are investigated. The numerical results show that the coupling between the transverse and axial vibrations for moderate values of crack depth and/or roving mass and rotary inertia is weak. Increasing the crack depth and the mass and rotary inertia will increase the coupling effect. Detection of the crack location using natural frequencies and mode shapes as parameters is also discussed.

AbstractIn this study, free vibration behavior of a multilayered symmetric sandwich beam made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) with variable cross section resting on variable Winkler elastic foundation are investigated. The elasticity and density of the functionally graded (FG) sandwich beam vary through the thickness according to the power law. This law is related to mixture rules and laminate theory. In order to provide this, a 50-layered beam is considered. Each layer is isotropic and homogeneous, although the volume fractions of the constituents of each layer are different. Furthermore, the width of the beam varies exponentially along the length of the beam, and also the beam is resting on an elastic foundation whose coefficient is variable along the length of the beam. The natural frequencies are computed for conventional boundary conditions of the FG sandwich beam using a theoretical procedure. The effects of material, geometric, elastic foundation indexes and slenderness ratio on natural frequencies and mode shapes of the beam are also computed and discussed. Finally, the results obtained are compared with a finite-element-based commercial program, ANSYS®, and found to be consistent with each other.

An analysis is presented for the free out-of-plane vibration of a circular ring elastically supported against deflection, rotation, and torsion at several points located at equal angular intervals. The equations of out-of-plane vibration of the ring is expressed as a matrix differential equation by using the transfer matrix, the solution to which is conveniently given by infinite series. The vibrations arising in the ring are classified into several types, for each of which the natural frequencies and the mode shapes are calculated numerically up to higher modes.
