New matrix method for analyzing vibration and damping effect of sandwich circular cylindrical shell with viscoelastic core

Based on the linear theories of thin cylindrical shells and viscoelastic materials, a governing equation describing vibration of a sandwich circular cylindrical shell with a viscoelastic core under harmonic excitation is derived. The equation can be written as a matrix differential equation of the first order, and is obtained by considering the energy dissipation due to the shear deformation of the viscoelastic core layer and the interaction between all layers. A new matrix method for solving the governing equation is then presented With an extended homogeneous capacity precision integration approach. Having obtained these, vibration characteristics and damping effect of the sandwich cylindrical shell can be studied. The method differs from a recently published work as the state vector in the governing equation is composed of displacements and internal forces of the sandwich shell rather than displacements and their derivatives. So the present method can be applied to solve dynamic problems of the kind of sandwich shells with various boundary conditions and partially constrained layer damping. Numerical examples show that the proposed approach is effective and reliable compared with the existing methods.     

MODELING AND DYNAMICS ANALYSIS OF SHELLS OF REVOLUTION BY PARTIALLY ACTIVE CONSTRAINED LAYER DAMPING TREATMENT

A new model for a smart shell of revolution treated with active constrained layer damping （ACLD） is developed, and the damping effects of the ACLD treatment are discussed. The motion and electric analytical formulation of the piezoelectric constrained layer are presented first. Based on the authors~ recent research on shells of revolution treated with passive constrained layer damping （PCLD）, the integrated first-order differential matrix equation of a shell of revolution partially treated with ring ACLD blocks is derived in the frequency domain. By virtue of the extended homogeneous capacity precision integration technology, a stable and simple numerical method is further proposed to solve the above equation. Then, the vibration responses of an ACLD shell of revolution are measured by using the present model and method. The results show that the control performance of the ACLD treatment is complicated and frequency-dependent. In a certain frequency range, the ACLD treatment can achieve better damping characteristics compared with the conventional PCLD treatment.     

New matrix method for response analysis of circumferentially stiffened non-circular cylindrical shells under harmonic pressure

Based on the governing equation of vibration of a kind of cylindrical shells written in a matrix differential equation of the first order,a new matrix method is pre- sented for steady-state vibration analysis of a noncircular cylindrical shell simply sup- ported at two ends and circumferentially stiffened by rings under harmonic pressure.Its difference from the existing works by Yamada and Irie is that the matrix differential equation is solved by using the extended homogeneous capacity precision integration ap- proach other than the Runge-Kutta-Gill integration method.The transfer matrix can easily be determined by a high precision integration scheme.In addition,besides the normal interacting forces,which were commonly adopted by researchers earlier,the tan- gential interacting forces between the cylindrical shell and the rings are considered at the same time by means of the Dirac-δfunction.The effects of the exciting frequencies on displacements and stresses responses have been investigated.Numerical results show that the proposed method is more efficient than the aforementioned method.     

RESPONSE ANALYSIS OF PIEZOELECTRIC SHELLS IN PLANE STRAIN UNDER RANDOM EXCITATIONS

The random response of a piezoelectric thick shell in plane strain state under boundary random excitations is studied and illustrated with a piezoelectric cylindrical shell. The differential equation for electric potential is integrated radially to obtain the electric potential as a function of displacement. The random stress boundary conditions are converted into homogeneous ones by transformation,which yields the electrical and mechanical coupling differential equation for displacement under random excitations. Then this partial differential equation is converted into ordinary differential equations using the Galerkin method and the Legendre polynomials,which represent a random multi-degree-of-freedom system with asymmetric stiffness matrix due to the electrical and mechanical coupling and the transformed boundary conditions. The frequency-response function matrix and response power spectral density matrix of the system are derived based on the theory of random vibration. The mean-square displacement and electric potential of the piezoelectric shell are finally obtained,and the frequency-response characteristics and the electrical and mechanical coupling properties are explored.     

Nonlinear vibration analysis of fractional viscoelastic Euler–Bernoulli nanobeams based on the surface stress theory

The nonlinear vibrations of viscoelastic Euler–Bernoulli nanobeams are studied using the fractional calculus and the Gurtin–Murdoch theory. Employing Hamilton's principle, the governing equation considering surface effects is derived. The fractional integro-partial differential governing equation is first converted into a fractional–ordinary differential equation in the time domain using the Galerkin scheme. Thereafter, the set of nonlinear fractional time-dependent equations expressed in a state-space form is solved using the predictor–corrector method. Finally, the effects of initial displacement, fractional derivative order, viscoelasticity coefficient, surface parameters and thickness-to-length ratio on the nonlinear time response of simply-supported and clamped-free silicon viscoelastic nanobeams are investigated.     

STABILITY ANALYSIS OF VISCOELASTIC CURVED PIPES CONVEYING FLUID

Based on the Hamilton' s principle for elastic systems of changing mass, a differential equation of motion for viscoelastic curved pipes conveying fluid was derived using variational method, and the complex characteristic equation for the viscoelastic circular pipe conveying fluid was obtained by normalized power series method. The effects of dimensionless delay time on the variation relationship between dimensionless complex frequency of the clamped-clamped viscoelastic circular pipe conveying fluid with the Kelvin-Voigt model and dimensionless flow velocity were analyzed. For greater dimensionless delay time, the behavior of the viscoelastic pipe is that the first, second and third mode does not couple, while the pipe behaves divergent instability in the first and second order mode, then single-mode flutter takes place in the first order mode.     

Corotational nonlinear analyses of laminated shell structures using a 4-node quadrilateral flat shell element with drilling stiffness

A new 4-node quadrilateral flat shell element is developed for geometrically nonlinear analyses of thin and moderately thick laminated shell structures. The fiat shell element is constructed by combining a quadrilateral area co- ordinate method （QAC） based membrane element AGQ6- II, and a Timoshenko beam function （TBF） method based shear deformable plate bending element ARS-Q12. In order to model folded plates and connect with beam elements, the drilling stiffness is added to the element stiffness matrix based on the mixed variational principle. The transverse shear rigidity matrix, based on the first-order shear deformation theory （FSDT）, for the laminated composite plate is evaluated using the transverse equilibrium conditions, while the shear correction factors are not needed. The conventional TBF methods are also modified to efficiently calculate the element stiffness for laminate. The new shell element is extended to large deflection and post-buckling analyses of isotropic and laminated composite shells based on the element independent corotational formulation. Numerical re- sults show that the present shell element has an excellent numerical performance for the test examples, and is applicable to stiffened plates.     

ANALYSIS OF SOUND RADIATION FROM THE RING－STIFFENED CYLINDRICAL SHELL COATED WITH VISCOELASTIC LAYER IN FLUID MEDIUM

The Donnell theory of shell is applied to describe shell motion and layer motion is described by means of three-dimensional Navier equations. Using deformation harmonious conditions of the interface, the effects of stiffeners and layer are treated as reverse forces and moments acting on the cylindrical shell. In studying the acoustic field produced by vibration of the submerged ring-stiffened cylindrical coated shell, the structure dynamic equation, Helmholtz equation in the fluid field and the continuous conditions of the fluid-structure interface compose the cou-pling vibration equation of the sound-fluid-structure. The extract of sound pressure comes down to the extract of coupling vibration equation. By use of the solution of the equation, the influences of hydrostatic pressure, physical characters and geometric parameters of the layer on sound radiation are discussed.

Analytical solutions to rotating functionally graded hollow and solid long cylinders are developed. Young＇s modulus and material density of the cylinder are assumed to vary exponentially in the radial direction, and Poisson＇s ratio is assumed to be constant. A unified governing equation is derived from the equilibrium equations, compatibility equation, deformation theory of elasticity and the stress-strain relationship.

Dependence of stresses in the cylinder on the inhomogeneous parameters, geometry and boundary conditions is examined and discussed. The proposed solution is validated by comparing the results for rotating functionally graded hollow and solid cylinders with the results for rotating homogeneous isotropic cylinders. In addition, a viscoelastic solution to the rotating viscoelastic cylinder is presented, and dependence of stresses in hollow and solid cylinders on the time parameter is examined.
