Observation of wave turbulence in vibrating plates

The nonlinear interaction of waves in a driven medium may lead to wave turbulence, a state such that energy is transferred from large to small length scales. Here, wave turbulence is observed in experiments on a vibrating plate. The frequency power spectra of the normal velocity of the plate may be rescaled on a single curve, with power-law behaviors that are incompatible with the weak turbulence theory of Düring et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 025503 (2006)10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.025503]. Alternative scenarios are suggested to account for this discrepancy -- in particular the occurrence of wave breaking at high frequencies. Finally, the statistics of velocity increments do not display an intermittent behavior.     

Transition scenario to turbulence in thin vibrating plates

A thin plate, excited by a harmonic external forcing of increasing amplitude, shows transitions from a periodic response to a chaotic state of wave turbulence. By analogy with the transition to turbulence observed in fluid mechanics as the Reynolds number is increased, a generic transition scenario for thin vibrating plates, first experimentally observed, is here numerically studied. The von Kármán equations for thin plates, which include geometric non-linear effects, are used to model large amplitude vibrations, and an energy-conserving finite difference scheme is employed for discretisation. The transition scenario involves two bifurcations separating three distinct regimes. The first regime is the periodic, weakly non-linear response. The second is a quasiperiodic state where energy is exchanged between internally resonant modes. It is observed only when specific internal resonance relationships are fulfilled between the eigenfrequencies of the structure and the forcing frequency; otherwise a direct transition to the last turbulent state is observed. This third, or turbulent, regime is characterized by a broadband Fourier spectrum and a cascade of energy from large to small wavelengths. For perfect plates including cubic non-linearity, only third-order internal resonances are likely to exist. For imperfect plates displaying quadratic nonlinearity, the energy exchanges and the quasiperiodic states are favored and thus are more easily obtained. Finally, the turbulent regime is characterized in the light of available theoretical results from wave turbulence theory.     

Sound radiation from a vibrating plate with uncertainty

Sound radiation into open space from a vibrating structure has been investigated since Rayleigh. On the other hand the sound power transferring into neighboring reverberant subsystems has also been rigorously studied using statistical energy analysis, particularly for the high frequency range. Falling between the two well-known problems, pressure and intensity fields from the sound radiation have not yet been widely studied using statistical methods. In this paper, the sound radiation from a vibrating thin plate having uncertain dynamic properties is investigated. Estimates are developed for the reverberant vibration field in the uncertain plate subjected to a point-excitation, and for the ensemble average of pressure from the direct field and from the reverberant field, leading to an estimate of the average sound intensity. The power radiated from the plate and the radiation efficiency is also derived. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted with an ensemble of plates with randomly-distributed point masses, and the simulation results compare well with the estimates.     

Wave propagation in a magneto-electroelastic plate

The wave propagation in a magneto-electro-elastic plate was studied. Some new characteristics were discovered: the guided waves are classified in the forms of the Quasi-P, Quasi-SV and Quasi-SH waves and arranged by the standing wavenumber; there are many patterns for the physical property of the magneto-electro-elastic dielectric medium influencing the stress wave propagation. We proposed a self-adjoint method, by which the guided-wave restriction condition was derived. After the corresponding orthogonal sets were found, the analytic dispersion equation was obtained. In the end, an example was presented. The dispersive spectrum, the group velocity curved face and the steady-state response curve of a magneto-electro-elastic plate were plotted. Then the wave propagations affected by the induced electric and magnetic fields were analyzed. Supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant Nos. 10572001 and 10232040)     

Analytical representations for the transient admittance of a plate vibrating in a medium

Flexural vibrations of a plate contacting on one side with an ideal compressible liquid are considered. The plate is driven by a harmonic force uniformly distributed along a straight line. The transient admittance of the plate as a function of the distance from the line of the force application is shown to be representable as a sum of an integer function and an integer function multiplied by a logarithmic function. A procedure for determining the power series expansions of these functions is described, and the initial terms of the expansions are derived. The approximations formed by these initial terms and the asymptotic expansion at infinity are compared with the results of numerical calculations for several particular values of the parameters. Vibrations of a liquid with an impedance load at its surface are considered as an auxiliary problem, and, in the framework of this problem, the initial terms of the power series expansions of the integer functions, which appear in the expression for the transient admittance, are determined. The expansions obtained make it possible to raise the speed of the admittance calculations near the points of application of the driving force.     

Fourier analysis of wave turbulence in a thin elastic plate

The spatio-temporal dynamics of the deformation of a vibrated plate is measured by a high speed Fourier transform profilometry technique. The space-time Fourier spectrum is analyzed. It displays a behavior consistent with the premises of the Weak Turbulence theory. A isotropic continuous spectrum of waves is excited with a non linear dispersion relation slightly shifted from the linear dispersion relation. The spectral width of the dispersion relation is also measured. The non linearity of this system is weak as expected from the theory. Finite size effects are discussed. Despite a qualitative agreement with the theory, a quantitative mismatch is observed which origin may be due to the dissipation that ultimately absorbs the energy flux of the Kolmogorov-Zakharov casade.

Wave turbulent statistics in non-weak wave turbulence

In wave turbulence, which is made by nonlinear interactions among waves, it has been believed that statistical properties are well described by the weak turbulence theory, where separation of linear and nonlinear time scales derived from weak nonlinearity is assumed. However, the separation of the time scales is often violated. To get rid of this inconsistency, closed equations are derived in wave turbulence without assuming the weak nonlinearity according to Direct-Interaction Approximation (DIA), which has been successful in Navier-Stokes turbulence. The DIA equations is a natural extension of the conventional kinetic equation to not-necessarily-weak wave turbulence.     

Nonstationary wave turbulence in an elastic plate

We report experimental results on the decay of wave turbulence in an elastic plate obtained by stopping the forcing from a stationary turbulent state. In the stationary case, the forcing is seen to induce some anisotropy and a spectrum in disagreement with the weak turbulence theory. After stopping the forcing, almost perfect isotropy is restored. The decay of energy is self-similar and the observed decaying spectrum is in better agreement with the prediction of the weak turbulence theory. The dissipative part of the spectrum is partially consistent with the theoretical prediction based on previous work by Kolmakov. This suggests that the nonagreement with the weak turbulence theory is mostly due to a spurious effect of the forcing related to the finite size of the system.     

Response and damping of a rectangular cantilever plate with vibrating beam dampers

In this work the use of beams as auxiliary mass dampers for cantilever plates is considered. Because the cantilever plate problem, which is of strong industrial interest, does not lend itself to a Lévy-type solution, the procedure developed by Ritz is used. Structural damping is incorporated into the main and auxiliary systems by treating them as having a complex elastic modulus. With appropriate selection of the parameters, the fundamental resonance of the plate is split into two new ones with considerably suppressed responses. In order to verify the analysis, an experimental investigation was carried out and the results obtained were compared with the theory developed.     

Visco-acoustic modelling of a vibrating plate interacting with water confined in a domain of micrometric size

It is well established that concrete durability strongly depends on the capillary porosity of the material. Hence, structural health monitoring of concrete structure could take advantage of concrete microporosity monitoring. To this end, a new method for the in situ non-destructive testing of capillary porosity in cementitious materials has been proposed. A sensing device that seems well suited to this application is a capacitive ultrasonic transducer with a characteristic size of $1\mathrm{\mu }\mathrm{m}$. It is to be embedded in the material. Its vibrating membrane is made of aligned carbon nanotubes forming a thin layer with a typical thickness of 1 nm. It generates acoustic waves of micrometric wavelength into water-filled micropores, aiming at measuring their properties.The present paper focuses on the numerical simulation of the embedded sensor. In order to properly account for viscous effects in fluids at the micrometric scale, we have developed a specific computational method for the visco-acoustic modelling of a microplate vibrating between 10 MHz and 2 GHz in a water-filled domain of micrometric size. Our approach is based on the condensation of the fluid part of the fluid–structure problem on the structure by a finite element method, and on a spectral approximation of the structural equations.The numerical results indicate that the fluid domain is resonant despite the viscous terms, which causes a frequency downshift of the resonances and a decrease of the quality factor. In the coupled system, the plate does not perturb the fluid resonances, whereas the plate resonances are strongly upshifted by the water load. The resonance frequencies of the system are shown to display a clear dependence on the pore width, which makes the device a good candidate as a porosity sensor.

Interactions between a partially or totally immersed vibrating cantilever plate and the surrounding fluid

The dry and wet dynamic characteristics of a vertical and a horizontal cantilever square plate [1] immersed in fluid are discussed from the viewpoint of a linear hydroelasticity theory [2–5]. The surface piercing vertical plate is partially immersed in the fluid and the influence of submerged plate length on the resonance frequencies investigated. For the horizontal plate the influence of submerged depth below the free surface on the resonance frequencies is examined. Incorporated into the theoretical model is a free surface boundary condition allowing wave disturbances to be present. The interaction existing between the vibrating cantilever plate and the free surface is clearly exhibited in the calculated curves describing the generalized hydrodynamic coefficients. A limited comparison between predictions and experimental data [1] is also included.     

Study of a vibrating plate: comparison between experimental (ESPI) and analytical results

Real-time electronic speckle pattern interferometry (ESPI) was used for tuning and visualization of natural frequencies of a trapezoidal plate. The plate was excited to resonant vibration by a sinusoidal acoustical source, which provided a continuous range of audio frequencies. Fringe patterns produced during the time-average recording of the vibrating plate—corresponding to several resonant frequencies—were registered. From these interferograms, calculations of vibrational amplitudes by means of zero-order Bessel functions were performed in some particular cases. The system was also studied analytically. The analytical approach developed is based on the Rayleigh–Ritz method and on the use of non-orthogonal right triangular co-ordinates. The deflection of the plate is approximated by a set of beam characteristic orthogonal polynomials generated by using the Gram–Schmidt procedure. A high degree of correlation between computational analysis and experimental results was observed.
