Nonlinear vibration of circular corrugated plates

In this paper, first by using Hamilton principle, we derive the variational equation of circular corrugated plates. Taking the central maximum amplitude of circular corrugated plates as the perturbation parameter and adopting the perturbation variational method, in the first-order approximation, we obtain the natural frequency of linear vibration of circular corrugated plates and then the nonlinear natural frequency of the corrugated plates. By comparing with the linear results, the attempt of this paper is proved feasible.This paper was presented in the 2nd National Conference on Vibration (Xi'An 1984)     

Series solution for elastic behavior of corrugated circular plates in large deflection under arbitrary loads

Chebyshev polynomials are used to solve the problem of large deflection for corrugated circular plates with a plane central region under arbitrary loads based on the nonlinear bending theory of anisotropic circular plates. Numerical results are compared with those available in the literature. The present method shows higher accuracies and larger application ranges.     

Numerical simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in channel with V corrugated plates

A detailed numerical study is carried out to investigate fluid flow and heat transfer characteristics in a channel with heated V corrugated upper and lower plates. The parameters studied include the Reynolds number (Re = 2,000–5,500), angles of V corrugated plates (θ = 20°, 40°, 60°), and constant heat fluxs (q″ = 580, 830, 1,090 W/m²). Numerical results have been validated using the experimented data reported by Naphon, and a good agreement has been found. The angles of V corrugated plates (θ) and the Reynolds number are demonstrated to significantly affect the fluid flow and the heat transfer rate. Increasing the angles of V corrugated plates can make the heat transfer performance become better. The increasing Reynolds number leads to a more complex fluid flow and heat transfer rate. The numerical calculations with a non-equilibrium wall function have a better accuracy than with a standard wall function for solving high Reynolds numbers or complex flow problems.

Suppression of wake-induced vibration of tandem cylinders with free-to-rotate control plates

Experiments have been carried out on a pair of circular cylinders to investigate the effectiveness of pivoting parallel plates as wake-induced vibration suppressors. Measurements of amplitude of vibration and average drag are presented for a circular cylinder, free to respond in the cross-flow direction, with mass ratio 2 and a damping level of 0.7% of critical damping. Reduced velocities were up to nearly 30, with associated Reynolds numbers up to 2.3×10⁴ and the results presented are for a centre-to-centre separation of cylinders of 4 diameters. It is shown how vortex-induced vibration and wake-induced vibration of the downstream cylinder of a tandem pair can be practically eliminated by using free to rotate parallel plates. The device achieves vibration suppression with a substantial drag reduction when compared to a pair of fixed tandem cylinders at the same Reynolds number. Results for a single splitter plate and helical strakes are also presented for comparison and were found not to be effective in suppressing wake-induced vibration.     

The validity range of CPT and Mindlin plate theory in comparison with 3-D vibrational analysis of circular plates on the elastic foundation

The validity and the range of applicability of the classical plate theory (CPT) and the first-order shear deformation plate theory, also called Mindlin plate theory (MPT), in comparison with three-dimensional (3-D) p-Ritz solution are presented for freely vibrating circular plates on the elastic foundation with different boundary conditions. In order to achieve this purpose, a study of the 3-D elasticity solution is carried out to determine the free vibration frequencies of clamped, simply supported and free circular plates resting on an elastic foundation. The Pasternak model with adding a shear layer to the Winkler model is used for describing the elastic foundation. In addition to being employed the p-Ritz algorithm, the analysis is based on the linear, small strain and 3-D elasticity theory. In this analysis method, a set of orthogonal polynomial series in a cylindrical polar coordinate system is used to arrive eigenvalue equation yielding the natural frequencies for the circular plates. The accuracy of these results is verified by appropriate convergence studies and checked with the available literature and the MPT. Furthermore, the effect of the foundation stiffness parameters, thickness-radius ratio, and different boundary conditions on the ill-conditioning of the mass matrix as well as on the vibration behavior of the circular plates is investigated. Afterwards, the validity and the range of applicability of the results obtained on the basis of the CPT and MPT for a thin and moderately thick circular plate with different values of the foundation stiffness parameters are graphically presented through comparing them with those obtained by the present 3-D p-Ritz solution. Finally, the phenomenon of mode shape switching is investigated in graphical forms for a wide range of the Winkler foundation stiffness parameters.     

Analysis and active control of nonlinear vibration of composite lattice sandwich plates

This paper is devoted to investigate the nonlinear vibration characteristics and active control of composite lattice sandwich plates using piezoelectric actuator and sensor. Three types of the sandwich plates with pyramidal, tetrahedral and Kagome cores are considered. In the structural modeling, the von Kármán large deflection theory is applied to establish the strain–displacement relations. The nonlinear equations of motion of the structures are derived by Hamilton’s principle with the assumed mode method. The nonlinear free and forced vibration responses of the lattice sandwich plates are calculated. The velocity feedback control (VFC) and H_∞ control methods are applied to design the controller. The nonlinear vibration responses of the sandwich plates with pyramidal, tetrahedral and Kagome cores are compared. The influences of the ply angle of the laminated face sheets, the thicknesses of the lattice core and face sheets and the excitation amplitude on the nonlinear vibration behaviors of the sandwich plates are investigated. The correctness of the H_∞ control algorithm is verified by comparing with the experiment results reported in the literature. The controlled nonlinear vibration response of the sandwich plate is computed and compared with that of the uncontrolled structural system. Numerical results indicate that the VFC and H_∞ control methods can effectively suppress the large amplitude vibration of the composite lattice sandwich plates.

     

Multiple mode large amplitude vibration of thick orthotropic circular plates

This paper is analytically concerned with the large amplitude vibration of thick orthotropic circular plates incorporating the effects of transverse shear and rotatory inertia. Von Kármán-type field equations written in terms of the three displacement components of the plate are utilized to obtain solutions to clamped stress-free and immovable plates. By means of Galerkin's technique and a numerical Runge-Kutta procedure a multiple-mode analysis is carried out in both cases. Exact solutions are reported for two of the three governing equations. Effects of transverse shear deformation and modal interaction are found to be significant for orthotropic thick plates. The method given here could be extended to the multiple-mode analysis of circular plates with other boundary conditions.

Frequency equations for the in-plane vibration of orthotropic circular annular plate

Orthotropic circular annular plates have a lot of applications in engineering such as space structures and rotary machines. In this paper, frequency equations for the in-plane vibration of the orthotropic circular annular plate for general boundary conditions were derived. To obtain the frequency equation, first the equation of motion for the circular annular plate in the cylindrical coordinate is derived by using the stress-strain- displacement expressions. Helmholtz decomposition is used to uncouple the equations of motion. The wave equation is obtained by assumption a harmonic solution for the uncoupled equations. Using the separation of the variables leads to the general wave equation solution and the in-plane displacements in the r and θ directions. Finally, boundary conditions are exerted and the natural frequency is derived for general boundary conditions. The obtained results are validated by comparing with the previously reported and those from finite element analysis.     

Three-dimensional vibrations of annular thick plates with linearly varying thickness

The free vibration of annular thick plates with linearly varying thickness along the radial direction is studied, based on the linear, small strain, three-dimensional (3-D) elasticity theory. Various boundary conditions, symmetrically and asymmetrically linear variations of upper and lower surfaces are considered in the analysis. The well-known Ritz method is used to derive the eigen-value equation. The trigonometric functions in the circumferential direction, the Chebyshev polynomials in the thickness direction, and the Chebyshev polynomials multiplied by the boundary functions in the radial direction are chosen as the trial functions. The present analysis includes full vibration modes, e.g., flexural, thickness-shear, extensive, and torsional. The first eight frequency parameters accurate to at least four significant figures for five vibration categories are obtained. Comparisons of present results for plates having symmetrically linearly varying thickness are made with others based on 2-D classical thin plate theory, 2-D moderate thickness plate theory, and 3-D elasticity theory. The first 35 natural frequencies for plates with asymmetrically linearly varying thickness are compared to the finite element solutions; excellent agreement has been achieved. The asymmetry effect of upper and lower surface variations on the frequency parameters of annular plates is discussed in detail. The first four modes of axisymmetric vibration for completely free circular plates with symmetrically and asymmetrically linearly varying thickness are plotted. The present results for 3-D vibration of annular plates with linearly varying thickness can be taken as benchmark data for validating results from various plate theories and numerical methods.

Three-dimensional vibration analysis of circular and annular plates via the Chebyshev–Ritz method

A three-dimensional free vibration analysis of circular and annular plates is presented via the Chebyshev–Ritz method. The solution procedure is based on the linear, small strain, three-dimensional elasticity theory. Selecting Chebyshev polynomials which can be expressed in terms of cosine functions as the admissible functions, a convenient governing eigenvalue equation can be derived through the Ritz method. According to the geometric properties of circular and annular plates, the vibration is divided into three distinct categories: axisymmetric vibration, torsional vibration and circumferential vibration. Each vibration category can be further subdivided into the antisymmetric and symmetric ones in the thickness direction. Convergence and comparison study demonstrated the high accuracy and efficiency of the present method. The present approach shows a distinct advantage over some other Ritz solutions in that stable numerical operation can be guaranteed even when a large number of admissible functions is employed. Therefore, not only lower-order but also higher-order eigenfrequencies can be obtained by using sufficient terms of the Chebyshev polynomials. Finally, some valuable results for annular plates with one or both edges clamped are given and discussed in detail.     

Large amplitude vibration of circular sandwich plates

In this paper, fundamental equations of the axisymmetric large amplitude free vibration for circular sandwich plates are derived by means of Hamilton principle. In most cases, the sandwich plates are composed of very thin faces, then the preceding fundamental equations are simplified considerably. For an illustrative example, a circular sandwich plate with edge clamped but free to slip is considered, and then we got a pure analytic solution of the axisymmetric large amplitude free vibration with the aid of the modified iteration method, and derived an analytic relation for the amplitude-frequency response.     

An experimental analysis of the flow pattern in heat exchangers with an egg carton configuration (parallel,convergent and divergent cases)

An experimental analysis about the flow patterns that appear in the channel formed between two corrugated plates with an egg carton configuration is reported. The types of flow instabilities caused by the corrugated plates are identified and described by means of flow visualization experiments, and photographic sequences illustrate the flow features present for each case. The influence on flow instabilities of Reynolds number, phase angle, convergence/divergence angle and spacing between corrugated plates is investigated. The corrugated plates are set divergent and convergent in order to investigate if recirculations are broken by chaotic advection. The improvement of heat transfer in the laminar regime has become an essential task in many applications and therefore the experiments are conducted in this regime.The corrugated plates geometry provides two main advantages over the conventional plane plates: the recirculation zones observed in the longitudinal direction and the three-dimensionality of the flow, i.e. the recirculations reduce the thermal resistances while the three-dimensionality of flow generates a better mixing and a more uniform temperature distribution.This experimental study contributes to the general knowledge on the subject being the first that addresses the analysis of convergent and divergent egg carton plates. It is expected that the results presented here will shed some light as to advantageously use these geometries in the near-future heat exchangers. (Because of the improve chaotic mixing in divergent corrugated plates, this configuration may be a good option to improve heat exchangers performance, because a better mixing is always related to the presence of core fluid near exchange surfaces, and consequently an increase in temperature gradients and heat transfer.)

Three-dimensional stress and free vibration analyses of functionally graded plates with circular holes by the use of the graded finite element method

Static and free vibration analyses of plates with circular holes are performed based on the three-dimensional theory of elasticity. The plates are made of a functionally graded material (FGM), and the volume fractions of the constituent materials vary continuously across the plate. The effective properties of the FGM plate are estimated by using the Mori–Tanaka homogenization method. A graded finite element method based on the Rayleigh–Ritz energy formulation is used to solve the problem. Effects of different volume fractions of the materials and hole sizes on the behavior of FGM plates under uniaxial tension are investigated. Natural frequencies of a fully clamped FGM plate with a circular cutout are derived. The results obtained are compared with available experimental data.
