Coupled flexural-torsional vibration band gap in periodic beam including warping effect

The propagation of coupled flexural-torsional vibration in the periodic beam including warping effect is investigated with the transfer matrix theory. The band structures of the periodic beam, both including warping effect and ignoring warping effect, are obtained. The frequency response function of the finite periodic beams is simulated with finite element method, which shows large vibration attenuation in the frequency range of the gap as expected. The effect of warping stiffness on the band structure is studied and it is concluded that substantial error can be produced in high frequency range if the effect is ignored. The result including warping effect agrees quite well with the simulated result.     

Triply coupled vibrational band gap in a periodic and nonsymmetrical axially loaded thin-walled Bernoulli–Euler beam including the warping effect

The propagation of triply coupled vibrations in a periodic, nonsymmetrical and axially loaded thin-walled Bernoulli–Euler beam composed of two kinds of materials is investigated with the transfer matrix method. The cross-section of the beam lacks symmetrical axes, and bending vibrations in the two perpendicular directions are coupled with torsional vibrations. Furthermore, the effect of warping stiffness is included. The band structures of the periodic beam, both including and excluding the warping effect, are obtained. The frequency response function of the finite periodic beam is simulated with the finite element method. These simulations show large vibration-based attenuation in the frequency range of the gap, as expected. By comparing the band structure of the beam with plane wave expansion method calculations that are available in the literature, one finds that including the warping effect leads to a more accurate simulation. The effects of warping stiffness and axial force on the band structure are also discussed.

A modified transfer matrix method for the study of the bending vibration band structure in phononic crystal Euler beams

We introduce a modified transfer matrix (MTM) method for the calculation of the bending vibration band structure of one-dimensional phononic crystal (PC) Euler beams. A particular combination of hyperbolic functions and triangular functions is introduced to transform the state parameters of the transfer matrix (TM) method into four initial parameters, which have the explicit meanings of the displacement, rotation angle, bending moment and shear force at one beam end. The method is used to calculate the band structures of two PC Euler beams constructed from aluminum–Lucite and 100 kinds of materials. The effectiveness and high efficiency of the MTM method are demonstrated by the results. Several advantages make it a proper choice for the calculation of the bending vibration band structure of PC Euler beams.     

Dynamic analysis of an axially moving finite-length beam with intermediate spring supports

This paper presents the analysis for the transverse vibration of an axially moving finite-length beam inside which two points are supported by rotating rollers. In this study, the rollers are modeled as uniaxial springs in the transverse direction. Hamilton?s principle is applied to derive the equations of motion and boundary conditions of the system. The equations of motion include translational and rotational motions as well as flexible motion. These equations are discretized using Galerkin?s method, and then the dynamic characteristics of a flexible beam with spring supports are studied by solving an eigenvalue problem. The veering phenomenon of natural frequency loci and mode exchanges are investigated for different positions of the springs and various values of the spring stiffness. In addition, the mode localization is also analyzed using the peak amplitude ratio. It is found in this study that the first mode is localized in one of the beam spans if an appropriate value of the spring constant is selected. Furthermore, it is shown that mode localization can be used to reduce the vibration transferred from one span to the other span while a beam moves axially.     

Vibration and stability of a non-uniform Timoshenko beam subjected to a follower force

An analysis is presented for the vibration and stability of a non-uniform Timoshenko beam subjected to a tangential follower force distributed over the center line by use of the transfer matrix approach. For this purpose, the governing equations of a beam are written in a coupled set of first-order differential equations by using the transfer matrix of the beam. Once the matrix has been determined by numerical integration of the equations, the eigenvalues of vibration and the critical flutter loads are obtained. The method is applied to beams with linearly, parabolically and exponentially varying depths, subjected to a concentrated, uniformly distributed or linearly distributed follower force, and the natural frequencies and flutter loads are calculated numerically, from which the effects of the varying cross-section, slenderness ration, follower force and the stiffness of the supports on them are studied.     

The steady state out-of-plane response of a Timoshenko curved beam with internal damping

The steady state out-of-plane response of a Timoshenko curved beam with internal damping to a sinusoidally varying point force or moment is determined by use of the transfer matrix approach. For this purpose, the equations of out-of-plane vibration of a curved beam are written as a coupled set of the first order differential equations by using the transfer matrix of the beam. Once the matrix has been determined by numerical integration of the equations, the steady state response of the beam is obtained. The method is applied to free-clamped non-uniform beams with circular, elliptical, catenary and parabolical neutral axes driven at the free end; the driving point impedance and force or moment transmissibility are calculated numerically and the effects of the slenderness ratio, varying cross-section and the function expressing the neutral axis on them are studied.     

A chiral elastic metamaterial beam for broadband vibration suppression

One of the significant engineering applications of the elastic metamaterial (EMM) is for low-frequency vibration attenuation because of its unusual low-frequency bandgap behavior. However, the forbidden gap from many existing EMMs is usually of narrow bandwidth which limits their practical engineering applications. In this paper, a chiral-lattice-based EMM beam with multiple embedded local resonators is suggested to achieve broadband vibration suppression without sacrificing its load-bearing capacity. First, a theoretical beam modeling is suggested to investigate bandgap behavior of an EMM beam with multiple resonators. New passbands due to dynamic interaction between resonators are unpleasantly formed, which become a design barrier for completely broadband vibration suppression. Through vibration attenuation factor analysis of the resonator, an EMM beam with section-distributed resonators is proposed to enable broadband vibration attenuation function. Required unit number of the resonator in each section is quantitatively determined for complete vibration attenuation in a specific frequency range. Finally, the chiral-lattice-based EMM beam is fabricated, and experimental testing of the proposed structure is conducted to validate the design.     

Band gap control of phononic beam with negative capacitance piezoelectric shunt

Periodic arrays of negative capacitance shunted piezoelectric patches are employed to control the band gaps of phononic beams. The location and the extent of induced band gap depend on the mismatch in impedance generated by each patch. The total impedance mismatch is determined by the added mass and stiffness of each patch as well as the shunting electrical impedance. Therefore, the band gap of the shunted phononic beam can be actively tuned by appropriately selecting the value of negative capacitance. The control of the band gap of phononic beam with negative capacitive shunt is demonstrated numerically by employing transfer matrix method. The result reveals that using negative capacitive shunt to tune the band gap is effective.     

Accurate determination of the relative concentrations of ammonia isotopologues in a cold,electrostatically guided molecular beam

Buffer-gas cooling and electrostatic velocity selection techniques are combined in this work to produce a continuous molecular beam with rotational and translational temperatures comparable to those in the interstellar medium (ISM). A number of different mixtures of the isotopologues of ammonia (ND₃, ND₂H, NH₂D and NH₃) in varying ratios are used as the source gas, and the molecular beam emanating from the quadrupole guide velocity selector is characterised using mass spectrometry and Monte Carlo trajectory simulations. The guiding of the mixed isotopologues ND₂H and NH₂D is demonstrated for the first time. This approach establishes both the relative concentrations of each species in the beam and the internal rotational state distributions after buffer-gas cooling and guiding. Such information is essential for experiments in which the beam is used in reaction rate measurements (e.g., for ion–molecule reactions) and facilitates the study of reactions relevant to deuterium fractionation in the ISM, such as the competition between H and D transfer with mixed species including ND₂H and NH₂D.     

THE DYNAMIC STIFFNESS MATRIX METHOD IN FORCED VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF MULTIPLE-CRACKED BEAM

The dynamic behaviour of a beam with numerous transverse cracks is studied. Based on the equivalent rotational spring model of crack and the transfer matrix for beam, the dynamic stiffness matrix method has been developed for spectral analysis of forced vibration of a multiple cracked beam. As a particular case, when the excitation frequency is close to zero, the solution for static response of beam with an arbitrary number of cracks has been obtained exactly in an analytical form. In general case, the effect of crack number and depth on the dynamic response of beam was analyzed numerically.     

Product state distributions and rotational polarization for the crossed beam reactions of Ca with F2 and NF3

Product state distributions of the CaF products from the thermal crossed beam reactions Ca + F₂ and Ca + NF₃ have been measured using laser induced fluorescence (LIF) techniques. We obtain information about the rotational and vibrational distributions by generating synthetic band profiles and comparing them with those observed. The inverted vibrational distributions indicate direct reaction mechanisms. For Ca + F₂ the fractionf′ of energy is nearly half going into product translation and the remainder being devided nearly equally between product rotation and vibration. For Ca + NF₃ the largest fraction of the available reaction exoergicity goes into vibrational excitation of the newly formed CaF products. In addition, we have probed the rotational polarization of CaF product molecules. This gives direct information on the role of angular momentum alignment in reactive scattering.
