In this paper, the structural dynamics study of the frame to support 15MW compressor is suggested. This study used the steel-concrete hybrid frame to support a large compressor system. This paper provided experimental and analytical method to structural design the hybrid frame by considering in rotordynamics and aerodynamics. Dynamic characteristics of the frame have to be identified to tune the finite element model’s boundary condition and to avoid resonance. Therefore modal testing of the frame is performed and boundary conditions are modified applying to the previously obtained modal parameters. While compressor is operated, multiple dynamic loads of compressor, motor and expander may excite on the frame. The total dynamic load is derived by axial aerodynamic load of impeller, radial load of gear and unbalance load of rotor. After dynamic analysis completion, the analysis result is compared with test result to verify the accuracy of analysis. Through this structural dynamic analysis, structural vibration response of hybrid frame can be estimated.

Any aircraft in flight is subjected to dynamic loads. Following vibration-related accidents, a flow field and vibration analysis can be carried out to analyze the data and study the cause of the accident. When slit airflow enters the cavity between the tailplane structure and the elevator, a mixed vortex is formed. If the vortex-induced vibrational frequency of around 50 Hz happens to be close to the natural frequency of the structure at 46 Hz, it is likely to induce structural vibration (resonance). The resonance can cause excessive fatigue damage which can ultimately lead to structural failure and the loss of the component or the aircraft. Damping methods can be employed to control vibration within the structure by reducing the amplitude of that vibrational motion by 83%. This article details a recreation of one example of structural vibration within an airborne aircraft.

AbstractDouble-cantilever beams (DCBs) are widely used to study mode-I fracture behavior and to measure mode-I fracture toughness under quasi-static loads. Recently, the authors have developed analytical solutions for DCBs under dynamic loads with consideration of structural vibration and wave propagation. There are two methods of beam-theory-based data reduction to determine the energy release rate: (i) using an effective built-in boundary condition at the crack tip, and (ii) employing an elastic foundation to model the uncracked interface of the DCB. In this letter, analytical corrections for a crack-tip rotation of DCBs under quasi-static and dynamic loads are presented, afforded by combining both these data-reduction methods and the authors’ recent analytical solutions for each. Convenient and easy-to-use analytical corrections for DCB tests are obtained, which avoid the complexity and difficulty of the elastic foundation approach, and the need for multiple experimental measurements of DCB compliance and crack length. The corrections are, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, completely new. Verification cases based on numerical simulation are presented to demonstrate the utility of the corrections.

The analytical mobility method for dynamically loaded journal bearings was presented, with the intent to include it in a general computational program, such as the dynamic analysis program, that has been developed for the dynamic analysis of general mechanical systems. An illustrative example and numerical results were presented, with the efficiency of the method being discussed in the process of their presentation.
