The determination of the natural frequencies and normal modes of vibration for continuous panels, representing more or less typical fuselage skin-panel construction for modern airplanes, is discussed in this paper. The time-dependent boundary conditions at the supporting stringers are considered. A numerical example is presented, and analytical results for a particular structural configuration agree favorably with available experimental measurements.

In this paper a theorem of Kato (1949) which provides upper and lower bounds for the eigenvalues of a Hermitian operator is modified and generalized so as to give upper and lower bounds for the normal frequencies of oscillation of a conservative dynamical system. The method given here is directly applicable to a system specified by generalized co-ordinates with both elastic and inertial couplings. It can be applied to any one of the normal modes of vibration of the system. The bounds obtained are much closer than those given by Rayleigh’s comparison theorems in which the inertia or elasticity of the system is changed, and they are in fact the ‘best possible’ bounds. The principles of the computation of upper and lower bounds is explained in this paper and will be illustrated by some numerical examples in a subsequent paper.

Abstract This analysis deals with vibration characteristics of cantilever beams in which the longitudinal axis, passing through the mass centers of the elementary sections, is not collinear with the longitudinal axis about which the beam tends to twist under the influence of an applied torsional couple. Expressions are derived from which the natural frequencies and normal modes of vibration of such a beam can be determined. The Rayleigh-Ritz method is employed to determine the frequencies and amplitude ratios. Following the development of the general expressions, more specific equations are derived which express the natural frequencies and relative amplitudes of motion in each of two normal modes of vibration. The theoretical relationships of the several physical properties of the beam to the natural frequencies of vibration are shown graphically. Finally a numerical example is presented for a particular beam, and the computed natural frequencies and normal modes are compared with those determined experimentally.

Modes Of Vibration

In engineering practice, some of the structural elements take the form of a thin planar plate. For such elements, it is sometimes important to consider dangerous condition of resonance. A structural element cannot operate in the range of resonant frequencies. It is therefore necessary to determine natural frequencies and normal modes of vibration of such structural elements. Parts of the paper are the results of the analysis of natural frequencies and normal modes of vibration using FEM program Cosmos. The subject of the analysis was a thin flat circular plate considered in three modifications, i.e. free thin circular plate without hole, a thin circular plate without hole, clamped on the outer periphery, a thin circular plate with a hole, clamped on the outer and inner circumference. At the same time, Chladni patterns were obtained. They were created using the Matlab system and extraction of the outputs of the Cosmos program.

The uniform beams with free-hinged ends and with free-free ends have very slack bonds and, therefore, in accordance with Rayleigh’s theorem, their lowermost eigenvalue must be lesser compared to the lower most eigenvalue of beams with clamped-free and clamped-hinged ends. In spite of the physical evidence, the magnitudes of lowermost eigenvalue of beams with slack bonds, available in all publications, are larger. This contradiction signifies that there are the missing modes of vibration with the lowermost eigenvalue for beams with free-free and free-hinged ends. The rigorous analysis of uniform beams vibration with free-free and free-hinged ends conditions defines these missing lowermost natural frequencies and normal modes and ascertains the frequencies and modes for all uniform beams with various end conditions into the ordered system. The lowermost mode of vibration of a beam with free-free ends, caused by ocean choppiness and determined in this investigation, is paramount for estimation of the ships structural strength, particularly important for the tankers.

Abstract An analytical method is developed for determining the natural frequencies of a composite system which consists of a uniform beam with a concentrated mass, spring, and dashpot attached at any point along the length of the beam. The method makes use of a series expansion in terms of the set of orthogonal functions which represent the normal modes of vibration of the beam alone. Numerical examples are given for a beam with a combined concentrated mass and spring, for a beam with two concentrated masses, and for a beam with an attached dashpot.

Good Agreement

Summary The natural frequencies of vibration of a cantilever beam allowing for rotary inertia and shear deformation are obtained by the approximate Ritz method. The workability of the method is dependent upon the approximating functions chosen for the dynamic displacement curves. A series of characteristic functions representing the normal modes of vibration of cantilever beams in simple flexure is used as the approximating functions for both deflections due to flexure and shear deformation. Good agreement is shown between frequencies obtained by the Ritz method and those resulting from an analytical solution. The effect upon the natural frequencies of allowing for rotary inertia alone is shown and it is seen to increase rapidly with mode number.

Orthotropic Disk

The transverse vibration of a spinning circular disk with rectangular orthotropy is investigated. Two dimensionless parameters are established in order to characterize the degree of disk anisotropy and solutions are sought for a range of these parameters. The orthotropic bending stiffness is transferred into polar coordinates and is found to differ from a classical formulation for a stationary disk. A Fourier series expansion is used in the circumferential direction. Unlike the isotropic disk, the Fourier components determining the transverse vibration modes of the orthotropic disk do not separate. This condition results in an eigenvalue problem involving a coupled set of ordinary differential equations which are solved by a combination of numerical integration and iteration. Thus the natural frequencies and normal modes of vibration are determined. Because each eigenfunction contains contributions from more than one Fourier component, the normal modes do not possess distinct nodal diameters or nodal circles. Furthermore, disk orthotropy causes the natural frequencies corresponding to the sine and cosine modes to split; the degree of splitting decreases as the rotational speed increases.

Vinyl ketene (1,3-butadiene-1-one) has been synthesized by vacuum pyrolysis of 3-butenoic 2-butenoic anhydride. The microwave and infrared spectra of vinyl ketene in the gas phase at room temperature have been studied. The trans-rotamer has been identified, and the spectroscopic constants were found to be Ã= 39571(48) MHz, B̃ = 2392.9252(28) MHz, C̃ = 2256.0089(28) MHz, ⊿j = 0.414(31) kHz, and ⊿JK = - 34.694(92) kHz. The electrical dipole moment was found to be 0.987(23) D with μa = 0.865(14) D and μb = 0.475(41) D. A tentative assignment has been made for 17 of the 21 normal modes of vibration
