Active damping of the vibrations of a plate using sensor data: effect of boundary conditions

A new approach is followed to study the effect of mixed mechanical boundary conditions on the effectiveness of active damping of the forced resonant vibrations of thermoviscoelastic orthotropic plates. The problem is solved by the Bubnov–Galerkin method. Formulas for the voltage that should be applied to the actuator to damp the first vibration mode are derived. It is shown that the mechanical boundary conditions, the dissipative properties of the material, and the dimenstions of the sensors and actuators have a strong effect on the effectiveness of active damping of the vibrations of plates

Solving the problem of linear viscoelasticity for multiply connected anisotropic plates

This paper describes the method for solving the problems of linear viscoelasticity for thin plates under the influence of bending moments and transverse forces. The small parameter method was used to reduce the original problem to a sequence of boundary-value problems solved via complex potentials of the bending theory of multiply connected anisotropic plates. The general representations of complex potentials and boundary conditions for their determination are obtained. The method for determining the stress state of the plate at any time with respect to complex approximation potentials is developed by replacing the powers of the small parameter by the Rabotnov operators. The problem of a plate with elliptical holes is solved. The numerical calculation results in the case of a plate with one or two holes are given. The variation of bending moments in time until stationary condition is reached is studied, and the influence of geometric characteristics of the plate on these variable is described.     

Effects of Damping and Circulatory Forces on Dynamic Instability of Gyroscopic Conservative Continuous Systems

ABSTRACT The title problem is studied, with emphasis on the small damping and circulatory force case. It is shown that small internal and/or external damping forces and/or smalt (as well as large) circulatory forces in general destabilize an otherwise stable gyroscopic conservative system. A condition for no destabilizing effects of these small forces is obtained, A concept of "perfect" system in elastic stability of nonconservative problems is also presented. An example problem is given for demonstration purposes.     

Stability analysis of pipes conveying fluid with fractional viscoelastic model

Divergence and flutter instabilities of pipes conveying fluid with fractional viscoelastic model has been investigated in the present work. Attention is concentrated on the boundaries of the stability. Based on the Euler–Bernoulli beam theory for structural dynamics, viscoelastic fractional model for damping and, plug flow model for fluid flow, equation of motion has been derived. The effects of gravity, and distributed follower forces are also considered. By transferring the equation of motion to the Laplace domain and using the Galerkin method, the characteristic equations are obtained. By solving the eigenvalue problem, frequencies and dampings of the system have been obtained versus flow velocity. Some numerical test cases have been studied with viscoelastic fractional model and the effect of the fractional derivative order and the retardation time is investigated for various boundary conditions.

A combined experimental and numerical method for the solution of generalized elasticity problems

This work presents the method for the investigation of three-dimensionally stressed bodies with arbitrary shape which are under the action of an outside system of arbitrary forces. The combined method is based on syntheses of photoelastic experimental methods (other experimental methods may also be used) and digital methods of discrete analysis. Experimental procedures are used for defining superfluous boundary conditions. The boundary-value problem with such boundary conditions is solved by numerical methods. This approach qualitatively changes the very essence of experimental methods and essentially widens their range. It reduces the amount of measurements required and, at the same time, allows one to obtain complete stress fields throughout a body in a short time. In comparison with numerical methods, the combined method increases the accuracy of problem solutions and, at the same time, reduces the time required for complete investigations.     

Dynamic stress concentrations in thick plates with two holes based on refined theory

Based on complex variables and conformal mapping, the elastic wave scat- tering and dynamic stress concentrations in the plates with two holes are studied by the refined dynamic equation of plate bending. The problem to be solved is changed to a set of infinite algebraic equations by an orthogonM function expansion method. As examples, under free boundary conditions, the numerical results of the dynamic moment concen- tration factors in the plates with two circular holes are computed. The results indicate that the parameters such as the incident wave number, the thickness of plates, and the spacing between holes have great effects on the dynamic stress distributions. The results are accurate because the refined equation is derived without any engineering hypothese.     

Dynamic buckling of thin-walled composite plates with varying widthwise material properties

The paper deals with dynamic response of a thin-walled rectangular plate subjected to in-plane pulse loading. The plate is made of orthotropic (fibre composite) material in which the principal directions of orthotropy are parallel to the plate edges. The plate is characterised by a widthwise varying fibre volume fraction. The structures are assumed to be simply supported at the loaded ends and at non-loaded ends with five different boundary conditions (both simply supported, both fixed, simply supported fixed, simply supported free edge, fixed free edge). In order to obtain the equations of motion the non-linear theory of orthotropic thin-walled plates has been modified in such a way that it additionally accounts for all components of inertial forces. The differential equations of motion have been obtained from Hamilton’s Principle. The problem of nonlinear static stability was solved with the second order of the Koiter’s asymptotic stability theory of conservative systems. The results obtained from analytical–numerical method were compared with the results from finite element method (FEM).     

Effect of boundary condition nonlinearities on free large-amplitude vibrations of rectangular plates

The effect of boundary condition nonlinearities on free nonlinear vibrations of thin rectangular plates is analyzed. The method for analysis of the plate vibrations with geometrical nonlinearity and the boundary condition nonlinearity is suggested. The nonlinear boundary conditions for membrane forces are transformed into linear ones using the in-plane stress function. Additional boundary conditions for the in-plane displacements vanishing on the clamped edge of the plate are imposed on the stress function. Simply supported and cantilever plates are analyzed. The backbone curves obtained by satisfying linear and nonlinear boundary conditions are compared. It is shown that the results of the calculations with nonlinear boundary conditions differ essentially from the data obtained without these boundary conditions.     

On the stability of a deep beam subjected to nonconservative and dissipative forces

Summary For the case of a simply supported deep beam subjected to a transverse follower load applied at its center, the dependence of the critical flutter load upon the effects of internal and external damping and warping rigidity is considered. A Kelvin-Voigt solid is assumed, the external damping is assumed to be proportional to the velocity of the beam at a point, and, due to the nature of the nonconservative applied load, the flexural and torsional deformations of the beam are coupled. The resulting boundary value problem is nonself-adjoint in character, and the stability problem is solved in an approximate manner by means of an adjoint variational principle. Several graphs are presented to demonstrate the effect of the various damping and rigidity parameters on the value of the critical flutter load. The numerical results obtained here reveal that in the absence of external damping, the value of the critical flutter load becomes arbitrarily small as the internal damping parameter associated with flexure tends to zero.

Sommario Per una trave alta, incernierata agli estremi e sollecitata da un carico rotante con la sezione cui sia applicato e distribuito simmetricamente rispetto alla mezzeria della trave, si considera la dipendenza del carico critico di flutter dagli effetti di smorzamento interno ed esterno e della rigidezza biflessionale. Si assnmono (i) un solido di tipo Kelvin-Voigt e (ii) uno smorzamento esterno che sia proporzionale alla velocità. Dovuta al genere del carico non conservativo, la deformazione consiste di spostamenti di flessione e torsione. Poichè il problema ai limiti che descrive il moto del sistema possiede coefficienti variabili e non è antoaggiunto, si risolve il problema di constatare il valore del carico critico per un procedimento approssimativo mediante un principio variazionale. Si mostrano grafici che rivelano gli effetti dei diversi parametri di smorzamento e rigidezza sul valore del carico critico. I risultati numerici ottenuti qui mostrano che nell'assenza di smorzamento esterno il valore del carico critico diviene arbitrariamente minnto qualora il parametro di smorzamento interim associate con flessione lenda a zero.

     

Non-darcy double-diffusive mixed convection from heated vertical and horizontal plates in saturated porous media

The non-darcy mixed convection flows from heated vertical and horizontal plates in saturated porous media have been considered using boundary layer approximations. The flows are considered to be driven by multiple buoyancy forces. The similarity solutions for both vertical and horizontal plates have been obtained. The governing equations have been solved numerically using a shooting method. The heat transfer, mass transfer and skin friction are reduced due to inertial forces. Also, they increase with the buoyancy parameter for aiding flow and decrease for the opposing flow. For aiding flow, the heat and mass transfer coefficients are found to approach asymptotically the forced or free convection values as the buoyancy parameter approaches zero or infinity.

摘要：本文基于复变函数与保角映射法,采用平板弯曲振动精确化方程[9],对含任意形开孔平板中弹性波散射与动应力集中问题进行了研究。利用正交函数展开的方法将待解的问题归结为对一组无穷代数方程组的求解。作为算例,计算了自由边界条件下圆孔和椭圆孔的动弯矩集中系数的数值结果,并对板厚与孔径比对动弯矩分布的影响做了分析研究。结果表明：入射波数、平板厚度和椭圆偏心率等参数对动弯矩的分布都有很大的影响。在较低频率和平板较薄的情况下,基于文献[9]的方程与基于Mindlin板的动弯矩结果在数值分布上是基本一致的;在较高频率和平板较厚的情况下,基于文献[9]的方程与基于Mindlin板的动弯矩结果在数值分布计算结果相差较大。由于文献[9]给出的平板振动精确化方程是在没有任何工程假设条件下得到的,因此本文的分析计算结果更精确一些。     

Numerical investigation of the effect of boundary conditions on hydroelastic stability of two parallel plates interacting with a layer of ideal flowing fluid

The paper studies the hydroelastic stability of two parallel identical rectangular plates interacting with a flowing fluid confined between them. General equations describing the behavior of ideal compressible liquid in the case of small perturbations are written in terms of the perturbation velocity potential and transformed using the Bubnov–Galerkin method. The small deformations of elastic plates are defined using the first-order shear deformation plate theory. A mathematical formulation of the dynamic problem for elastic structures is developed using the variational principle of virtual displacements, which takes into account the work done by the inertial forces and hydrodynamic pressure. The numerical solution of the problem is carried out in three-dimensional formulation by means of the finite element method. A stability criterion is based on the analysis of complex eigenvalues of the coupled system of equations obtained for different values of flow velocity. The existence of different types of instability has been shown depending on the combinations of the kinematic boundary conditions defined at the edges of both plates. We considered both the symmetric and asymmetric types of clamping. It has been found that the dependence of the lowest eigenfrequency of two parallel plates on the height of quiescent fluid is nonmonotonic with a pronounced peak. At the same time, critical velocities of instability change insignificantly if the distance between plates is greater than half of the maximum linear dimensions of the structure. It should be noted that the critical velocities of divergence increase monotonically with growth of the height of the fluid layer, but critical velocities for the onset of flutter instability have sharp jumps. The cause of these jumps is a change in the mode shapes at which the system loses stability.     

Large deflection of rectangular sandwich plates

The governing differential equations and the boundary conditions for the large deflection of rectangular sandwich plates are derived using the principle of the complementary energy. The governing differential equations are transformed into systems of nonlinear algebraic equations using the finite difference method, and solved by successive iteration. For the purpose of illustration, deflection behavior of simply supported rectangular plates under uniform load is presented. The deflection behavior of plates with various values of shear rigidities and intensity of applied loads is studied. The change in the stress patterns of the face layers of the plate is also discussed.

Static and dynamic buckling modes of a cylindrical shell under external pressure

We consider the problem of static and dynamic buckling modes of thin shells under external hydrostatic pressure. If the statement of the problem uses the linearized equations of motion obtained in the moderately large bending theory of shells according to the classical or refined model, then part of terms related to the external load in these equations are assumed to be conservative, and the other terms are assumed to be nonconservative. In this connection, we study four statements of the elastic stability problem for a cylindrical shell with hinged faces. The first of them is the statement of the static boundary value problem in the sense of Euler, where the action of external pressure is assumed to be conservative. The second statement is used to study small vibrations near the static equilibrium by a dynamic method for the same conservative load. The third and fourth statements of the problem correspond to the action of a nonconservative load and are similar to the first and second statements, respectively. They use the linearized equations of equilibrium and motion constructed earlier in a consistent version on the basis of a Timoshenko type model and allowing one to reveal all classical and nonclassical shell buckling modes.     

Measurement of mechanical vibration damping in orthotropic,composite and isotropic plates based on a continuous system analysis

The problem of free and forced transverse vibration of an orthotropic, composite, and isotropic thin square plates with uniformly distributed damping and simply supported boundary conditions has been solved, using a modal expansion technique. A load of the type P₀cosΩt applied at the center of plate has been considered and the phase angle between the forcing function and the vibration response at the center, as a function of the forcing frequency and the damping parameter determined. This theoretical relationship together with the experimentally measured phase angle between the applied mechanical forcing and the resulting vibration response at various forcing frequencies was used to determine an equivalent viscous damping parameter. This technique has been found to be particularly useful for the measurement and comparison of the relative damping in composite or orthotropic materials. Also, a theoretical relation for the energy loss due to viscous damping in vibrating plates has been developed and the theoretical energy loss at various frequencies has been compared with the experimentally measured energy loss at the same frequencies. Typical damping results are presented for aluminum, steel and aluminum/graphite-fiber composite materials.
