Free in-plane vibrations of a scimitar-type nonprismatic rotating curved beam, with a variable cross-section and increasing sweep along the leading edge, are calculated using an innovative, efficient and accurate solver called the Adomian modified decomposition method (AMDM). The equation of motion includes the axial force resulting from centrifugal stiffening, and the boundary conditions imposed are those of a cantilever beam, i.e., clamped-free and simple-free. The AMDM allows the governing differential equation to become a recursive algebraic equation suitable for symbolic computation, and, after additional simple mathematical operations, the natural frequencies and corresponding closed-form series solution of the mode shapes are obtained simultaneously. Two main advantages of the application of the AMDM are its fast convergence rate to a solution and its high degree of accuracy. The design shape parameters of the beam, such as transitioning from a straight beam pattern to a curved beam pattern, are investigated. The accuracy of the model is investigated using previously reported investigations and using an innovative error analysis procedure.

Marine Risers

Natural frequencies, mode shapes and critical buckling loads of marine risers simply supported at both ends are given in closed form by using the WKB method. These solutions allow variable cross section, bending rigidity, tension and mass distribution along the riser length. Furthermore, a simple procedure to predict natural frequencies for other boundary conditions is described. Some special forms of these closed-form solutions are compared with existing solutions in the literature.

Considered here was the effect of multistage coupling on the dynamics of a rotor consisting of eight mistuned bladed discs on a solid shaft. Each bladed disc had a different number of rotor blades. Free vibrations were examined using finite element representations of rotating single blades, bladed discs, and the entire rotor. In this study the global rotating mode shapes of eight flexible mistuned bladed discs on shaft assemblies were calculated, taking into account rotational effects such as centrifugal stiffening. The thus obtained natural frequencies of the blade, shaft, bladed disc and entire shaft with discs were carefully examined to discover resonance conditions and coupling effects. This study found that mistuned systems cause far more intensive multistage coupling than tuned ones. The greater the mistuning, the more intense the multistage coupling.

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.
