ASYMMETRIC NON-LINEAR FORCED VIBRATIONS OF FREE-EDGE CIRCULAR PLATES. PART 1: THEORY

In this article, a detailed study of the forced asymmetric non-linear vibrations of circular plates with a free edge is presented. The dynamic analogue of the von Kàrmàn equations is used to establish the governing equations. The plate displacement at a given point is expanded on the linear natural modes. The forcing is harmonic, with a frequency close to the natural frequency ω_kn of one asymmetric mode of the plate. Thus, the vibration is governed by the two degenerated modes corresponding to ω_kn, which are one-to-one internally resonant. An approximate analytical solution, using the method of multiple scales, is presented. Attention is focused on the case where one configuration which is not directly excited by the load gets energy through non-linear coupling with the other configuration. Slight imperfections of the plate are taken into account. Experimental validations are presented in the second part of this paper.     

FREE VIBRATIONS OF SIMPLY SUPPORTED AND MULTILAYERED MAGNETO-ELECTRO-ELASTIC PLATES

Analytical solutions are derived for free vibrations of three-dimensional, linear anisotropic, magneto-electro-elastic, and multilayered rectangular plates under simply supported edge conditions. For any homogeneous layer, we construct the general solution in terms of a simple formalism that resembles the Stroh formalism, from which any physical quantities can be solved for given boundary conditions. In particular, the dispersion equation that characterizes the relationship between the natural frequency and wavenumber can be obtained in a simple form. For multilayered plates, we derive the dispersion relation in terms of the propagator matrices. The present solution includes all previous solutions, such as piezoelectric, piezomagnetic, and purely elastic solutions as special cases, and can serve as benchmarks to various thick plate theories and numerical methods used for the modelling of layered composite structures. Typical natural frequencies and mode shapes are presented for sandwich piezoelectric/piezomagnetic plates. It is shown clearly that some of the modes are purely elastic while others are fully coupled with piezoelectric/piezomagnetic quantities, with the latter depending strongly upon the material property and stacking sequence. These frequency and mode shape features could be of particular interest to the analysis and design of various “smart” sensors/actuators constructed from magneto-electro-elastic composite laminates.     

VIBRATION AND STABILITY OF ANNULAR PLATES IN NON-LINEAR CREEP CONDITIONS

This paper presents a study on the influence of the physical non-linearity of material in creep conditions on vibration and stability of non-uniform annular plates subjected to a follower force radially distributed at the outer edge. The stability analysis requires first the calculation of a membrane stress distribution and then the application of the kinetic stability criterion, making use of small superposed vibrations. The differential equations of the membrane and vibration states have been integrated by means of the transfer matrix method which allowed the determination of the relationships between the real and imaginary parts of the complex frequency and compressive force (characteristic curves). The results have been presented in numerous figures.

FORCED AND FREE VIBRATIONS OF RECTANGULAR SANDWICH PLATES WITH PARAMETRIC STIFFNESS MODULATION

An active control of the resonant vibrations of a rectangular sandwich plate performed by the parametric stiffness modulation is analyzed. The controlled vibrations are those of the dominantly flexural type excited by the transverse force acting at the first resonant frequency of dominantly flexural vibrations. The stiffness modulation is performed at a comparatively high frequency identified by the resonance of a mode of the dominantly shear type. The method of direct partition of motions is used that predicts an existence of the modal interaction between these two modes of vibrations due to the parametric stiffness modulation. It is shown that such a parametric control can provide a significant shift of the first eigenfrequency of a controlled plate (the one subjected to the stiffness modulation) from its nominal value for an uncontrolled plate. Heavy fluid loading conditions are accounted for as well as the energy dissipation in the material of a plate. It is demonstrated that although heavy fluid loading reduces resonant frequencies of forced vibrations, the suggested mechanism of control remains valid in these cases. Dynamics of an elementary two-degree-of-freedom model mechanical system is considered to illustrate the mechanism of modal interaction, which is involved in the suggested way of an active control of vibrations of sandwich plates.     

NON-LINEAR FORCED VIBRATIONS OF PLATES BY AN ASYMPTOTIC-NUMERICAL METHOD

Non-linear forced vibrations of thin elastic plates have been investigated by an asymptotic-numerical method (ANM). Various types of harmonic excitation forces such as distributed and concentrated are considered. Using the harmonic balance method and Hamilton's principle, the equation of motion is converted into an operational formulation. Based on the finite element method a starting point corresponding to a non-linear solution associated to a given frequency and amplitude of excitation is computed. Applying perturbation techniques in the vicinity of this solution, the non-linear governing equation obtained is transformed into a sequence of linear problems having the same stiffness matrix. Employing one matrix inversion, a large number of terms of the perturbation series of the displacement and frequency can be easily computed with a small computation time. Iterations of this method lead to a powerful path-following technique. Comprehensive numerical tests for forced vibrations of plates subjected to time-harmonic lateral excitations are reported.     

FREE TRANSVERSE VIBRATIONS OF AN ELASTICALLY CONNECTED COMPLEX BEAM-STRING SYSTEM

The present work is devoted to theoretical vibration analysis of a complex mixed continuous system. Undamped free transverse vibrations of an elastically connected beam-string system are considered. Solutions of the problem are formulated by using the modal expansion method. Two infinite sequences of the natural frequencies corresponding to two possible kinds of vibration motions: synchronous and asynchronous are determined. In a numerical example, illustrating the theory presented, the effect of string tension force on the natural frequencies of the system is investigated in detail.     

THE FREQUENCY SPECTRUM OF COUPLED VIBRATIONS OF FINITE CIRCULAR PIEZOELECTRIC CERAMIC DISKS

Proceeding from two-dimensional equation of motion of circular piezoelectric ceramic disks,withthe variables separated we can obtain a set of equations which depends only on the axial variable z.Then solving them with adjoint method according to the boundary conditions,the thickness vibrationalfrequency spectrum obtained is relative to the radial expansive frequencies.Conversely,from thefundamental frequency of thickness vibrations we can calculate the spectrum of radial expansive vibra-tions.From the result of calculations by this method,we can see that the radial and the axial vibrationspectra of circular piezoelectric disks are not only mutually influenced,but as well as dependent ontheir dielectric,piezoelectic,and elastic constants,that is to say"coupling"relations exist.     

VIBRATION AND STABILITY OF ROTATING POLAR ORTHOTROPIC ANNULAR DISKS SUBJECTED TO A STATIONARY CONCENTRATED TRANSVERSE LOAD

In the present paper, natural frequencies and stability of a spinning polar orthotropic disk subjected to a stationary concentrated transverse load are investigated. The analysis of the free vibration of a spinning disk is performed first to find natural frequencies and corresponding vibration modes. The resulting eigenfunctions obtained from the free vibration are used as deflection functions of the forced vibration of a disk where the load is modelled as a mass-spring-dashpot system fixed in space. By using the Galerkin approximation method, eigenvalues of the whole system are determined. Results show that disks with higher values of modulus ratios or the Poisson ratios have higher natural frequencies, and the stability of the whole system can be improved by raising the value of the modulus ratio or lowering that of the Poisson ratio.     

NON-LINEAR TRANSVERSE VIBRATIONS OF A SIMPLY SUPPORTED BEAM CARRYING CONCENTRATED MASSES

An Euler-Bernoulli beam carrying concentrated masses is considered to be a beam-mass system. The beam is simply supported at both ends. The non-linear equations of motion are derived including stretching due to immovable end conditions. The stretching introduces cubic non-linearities into the equations. Forcing and damping terms are also included. Exact solutions for the natural frequencies are given for the linear problem. For the non-linear problem, an approximate solution using a perturbation method is searched. Non-linear terms of the perturbation series appear as corrections to the linear problem. Amplitude and phase modulation equations are obtained. Non-linear free and forced vibrations are investigated in detail. The effect of the positions, magnitudes and number of the masses are investigated.     

压电陶瓷和金属构成的复合薄圆板的强迫振动——A电压策动

本文报告了电压策动下的复合薄圆板的强迫弯曲振动的严格解和近似解。复合薄圆板是由两片半径为b的压电陶瓷片和半径为a（a≥b）的金属薄圆板构成的。我们把它称作一般复合薄圆板,因为它可简化为各种特殊薄圆板.在压电陶瓷的极性做适当的安排后,交流策动电压将使一般复合薄圆板产生弯曲振动。从哈密顿原理出发推导了该系统的运动微分方程,连接条件和边界条件。并给出了一般解和严格共振频率方程。对于b=a的特殊复合薄圆板作了特殊的讨论。在简支边界情况下,策动电压的作用相当于在边界上加一个策动弯矩。当边界固定时,b=a的复合薄圆板表现为纯弹性,电压策动不能使之发生振动。本文还用里兹方法求出了一般复合圆板在电压策动下的强迫振动的近似解和近似共振频率方程。共振频率的近似值与实验值进行了比较,结果表明近似结果在工程上是可以使用的。
