Vibration analysis of cracked post-buckled beams

Vibration analysis of cracked post-buckled beam is investigated in this study. Crack, assumed to be open, is modeled by a massless rotational spring. The beam is divided into two segments and the governing nonlinear equations of motion for the post-buckled state are derived. The solution consists of static and dynamic parts, both leading to nonlinear differential equations. The differential quadrature has been used to solve the problem. First, it is applied to the equilibrium equations, leading to a nonlinear algebraic system of equations that will be solved utilizing an arc length strategy. Next, the differential quadrature is applied to the linearized dynamic differential equations of motion and their corresponding boundary and continuity conditions. Upon solution of the resulting eigenvalue problem, the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the cracked beam are extracted. Several experimental as well as numerical case studies are performed to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The investigation also includes an examination of several parameters influencing the dynamic behavior of the problem. The results show that the position and size of the crack as well as the geometric imperfection and applied load largely affect the modal shapes and natural frequencies of the beam.

Free vibration analysis of cracked composite beams subjected to coupled bending–torsion loads based on a first order shear deformation theory

In this paper, free vibration analysis of cracked composite beam subjected to coupled bending–torsion loading is presented. The composite beam is assumed to have an open edge crack of length a. A first order shear deformation theory is applied to count for the effect of shear deformations on natural frequencies as well as the effect of coupling in torsion and bending modes of vibration. Governing equations and boundary conditions are derived using Hamilton principle. Local flexibility matrix is used to obtain the additional boundary conditions of the beam in cracked area. After obtaining the governing equations and boundary conditions, generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method is applied to solve the obtained eigenvalue problem. Finally, some numerical results of beams with various boundary conditions and different fiber orientations are given to show the efficiency of the method. In addition, to study the effect of shear deformations, numerical results of the current model are compared with previously given results in which shear deformations were neglected.

Delamination buckling of a rectangular orthotropic composite plate containing a band crack

The delamination buckling problem for a rectangular plate made of an orthotropic composite material is studied. The plate contains a band crack whose faces have an initial infinitesimal imperfection. The subsequent development of this imperfection due to an external compressive load acting along the crack is studied through the use of the three-dimensional geometrically nonlinear field equations of elasticity theory for anisotropic bodies. A criterion of initial imperfection is used in determining the critical forces. The corresponding boundary-value problems are solved by employing the boundary-form perturbation technique and the FEM. Numerical results for the critical force are presented.     

Analysis of notches and cracks in circular Kirchhoff plates using the scaled boundary finite element method

A new formulation of the scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) is presented for the analysis of circular plates in the framework of Kirchhoff's plate theory. Essential for the SBFEM is, that a domain is described by the mapping of its boundary with respect to a scaling centre. The governing partial differential equations are transformed into scaled boundary coordinates and are reduced to a set of ordinary differential equations, which can be solved in a closed-form analytical manner. If the scaling centre is selected at the root of an existent crack or notch, the SBFEM enables the effective and precise calculation of singularity orders of cracked and notched structures. The element stiffness matrices for bounded and unbounded media are derived. Numerical examples show the performance and efficiency of the method, applied to plate bending problems.

Post-buckling and nonlinear free vibration analysis of geometrically imperfect functionally graded beams resting on nonlinear elastic foundation

In this paper, post-buckling and nonlinear vibration analysis of geometrically imperfect beams made of functionally graded materials (FGMs) resting on nonlinear elastic foundation subjected to axial force are studied. The material properties of FGMs are assumed to be graded in the thickness direction according to a simple power law distribution in terms of the volume fractions of the constituents. The assumptions of a small strain and moderate deformation are used. Based on Euler–Bernoulli beam theory and von-Karman geometric nonlinearity, the integral partial differential equation of motion is derived. Then this partial differential equation (PDE) problem, which has quadratic and cubic nonlinearities, is simplified into an ordinary differential equation (ODE) problem by using the Galerkin method. Finally, the governing equation is solved analytically using the variational iteration method (VIM). Some new results for the nonlinear natural frequencies and buckling load of the imperfect functionally graded (FG) beams such as the effects of vibration amplitude, elastic coefficients of foundation, axial force, end supports and material inhomogeneity are presented for future references. Results show that the imperfection has a significant effect on the post-buckling and vibration response of FG beams.     

Study of non-linear dynamic behavior of open cracked functionally graded Timoshenko beam under forced excitation using harmonic balance method in conjunction with an iterative technique

The nonlinear modeling and subsequent dynamic analysis of cracked Timoshenko beams with functionally graded material (FGM) properties is investigated for the first time using harmonic balance method followed by an iterative technique. Crack is assumed to be open throughout. During modeling, nonlinear strain–displacement relation is considered. Rotational spring model is adopted in order to model the open cracks. Energy formulations are established using Timoshenko beam theory. Nonlinear governing differential equations of motion are derived using Lagrange's equation. In order to incorporate the influence of higher order harmonics, harmonic balance method is employed. This reduces the governing differential equations into nonlinear set of algebraic equations. These equations are solved using two different iterative techniques. Methodology is computationally easier and efficient as well. This is observed that although assumption of simple harmonic motion (SHM) simplifies the problem, it yields to erroneous results at higher amplitude of motion. However, accuracy of the solution is improved considerably when the contribution of higher order harmonic terms are considered in the analysis. Results are compared with the available results, which confirm the validity of the methodology. Subsequent to that a parametric study on influence of forcing term, material indices and crack parameters on large amplitude vibration of Timoshenko beams is performed for two different boundary conditions.     

Computation of worst geometric imperfection profiles of composite cylindrical shell panels by minimizing the non-linear buckling load

In this article the “most unfavorable” shape of initial geometric imperfection profile for laminated cylindrical shell panel is obtained analytically by minimizing the limit point load. The partial differential equations governing the shell stability problem are reduced to a set of non-linear algebraic equations using Galerkin's technique. The non-linear equilibrium path is traced by employing Newton–Raphson method in conjunction with the Riks approach. A double Fourier series is used to represent the initial geometric imperfection profile for the cylindrical shell panel. The optimum values of these Fourier coefficients are determined by minimizing the limit point load using genetic algorithm. The results are determined for simply supported composite cylindrical shell panel. Numerical results show that more number of terms is needed in Fourier series representation to obtain the “worst” geometric imperfection profile which gives lower limit load compared to single term representation of imperfection. We have incorporated constraints on the shape of imperfection to avoid unrealistic limit point loads (due to imperfection shape) as we have assumed that the imperfection is due to machining/manufactuting.     

Dynamic stability of a porous rectangular plate

The study is devoted to a axial compressed porous-cellular rectangular plate. Mechanical properties of the plate vary across is its thickness which is defined by the non-linear function with dimensionless variable and coefficient of porosity. The material model used in the current paper is as described by Magnucki, Stasiewicz papers. The middle plane of the plate is the symmetry plane. First of all, a displacement field of any cross section of the plane was defined. The geometric and physical (according to Hook's law) relationships are linear. Afterwards, the components of strain and stress states in the plate were found. The Hamilton's principle to the problem of dynamic stability is used. This principle was allowed to formulate a system of five differential equations of dynamic stability of the plate satisfying boundary conditions. This basic system of differential equations was approximately solved with the use of Galerkin's method. The forms of unknown functions were assumed and the system of equations was reduced to a single ordinary differential equation of motion. The critical load determined used numerically processed was solved. Results of solution shown in the Figures for a family of isotropic porous-cellular plates. The effect of porosity on the critical loads is presented. In the particular case of a rectangular plate made of an isotropic homogeneous material, the elasticity coefficients do not depend on the coordinate (thickness direction), giving a classical plate. The results obtained for porous plates are compared to a homogeneous isotropic rectangular plate. (© 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

The dynamic analysis of the functionally graded piezoelectric (FGP) shell panel based on three-dimensional elasticity theory

In this paper, three-dimensional elasticity solution is extended to investigate a FGPM finite length, simply supported shell panel under dynamic pressure excitation. The host panel is assumed to be of some functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM). The ordinary differential equations (o.d.e.) are derived from the highly coupled partial differential equations (p.d.e.) using series expansions of mechanical and electrical displacements. The resulting system of ordinary differential equations is solved by means of Galerkin finite element method. At last, numerical examples are presented for a FGPM shell panel. To verify the validity of code and formulation, the results of a FGM panel and a FGM plate are compared with the published results.     

Analysis and Applications of Extended Kantorovich–Krylov Method

In our prior work, the two-dimensional bending and in-plane mode shape functions of isotropic rectangular plates were solved based on the extended Kantorovich–Krylov method. These plate modes were then applied to sandwich plate analysis using the assumed modes method. Numerical results has shown these two-dimensional plate modes improved our sandwich plate analysis. However, the rigorous mathematical convergence proof of the extended Kantorovich–Krylov method is lacking. In this article, we provide a rigorous mathematical convergence proof of the extended Kantorovich–Krylov method using the example of rectangular plate bending vibration, in which the governing equation is a biharmonic equation. The predictions of natural frequency and mode shape functions based on the extended Kantorovich–Krylov method were calculated and the results were numerically validated by other analyses. A similar convergence proof can be applied to other types of partial differential equations (PDEs) that govern vibration problems in engineering applications. Based on these results, the extended Kantorovich–Krylov method was proven to be a powerful tooi for the boundary value problems of partial differential equations in the structural vibrations.
