Double plate system with a discontinuity in the elastic bonding layer

The double plate system with a discontinuity in the elastic bonding layer of Winker type is studied in this paper. When the discontinuity is small, it can be taken as an interface crack between the bi-materials or two bodies (plates or beams). By comparison between the number of multifrequencies of analytical solutions of the double plate system free transversal vibrations for the case when the system is with and without discontinuity in elastic layer we obtain a theory for experimental vibration method for identification of the presence of an interface crack in the double plate system. The analytical analysis of free transversal vibrations of an elastically connected double plate systems with discontinuity in the elastic layer of Winkler type is presented. The analytical solutions of the coupled partial differential equations for dynamical free and forced vibration processes are obtained by using method of Bernoulli’s particular integral and Lagrange’s method of variation constants. It is shown that one mode vibration corresponds an infinite or finite multi-frequency regime for free and forced vibrations induced by initial conditions and one-frequency or corresponding number of multi-frequency regime depending on external excitations. It is shown for every shape of vibrations. The analytical solutions show that the discontinuity affects the appearance of multi-frequency regime of time function corresponding to one eigen amplitude function of one mode, and also that time functions of different vibration basic modes are coupled. From final expression we can separate the new generalized eigen amplitude functions with corresponding time eigen functions of one frequency and multi-frequency regime of vibrations.

Energy transfer in double plate system dynamics

The study of energy transfer between coupled subsystems in a hybrid system is very important for applications. This paper presents an analytical analysis of energy transfer between plates of a visco-elastically connected double-plate system in free transversal vibrations. The analytical analysis shows that the visco-elastic connection between plates is responsible for the appearance of two-frequency regime in the time function, which corresponds to one eigen amplitude function of one mode, and also that time functions of different vibration modes are uncoupled, but energy transfer between plates in one eigen mode appears. It was shown for each shape of vibrations. Series of the two Lyapunov exponents corresponding to the one eigen amplitude mode are expressed by using the energy of the corresponding eigen amplitude time component.     

Energy analysis in a nonlinear hybrid system containing linear and nonlinear subsystems coupled by hereditary element

Energy transfer between subsystems coupled by standard light hereditary element in hybrid system is very important for different engineering applications, especially for dynamical absorption. An analytical study of the energy transfer between coupled linear and nonlinear oscillators in the free vibrations of a viscoelastically connected double-oscillator system as a new hybrid nonlinear system with two and half degrees of freedom is pointed out. The analytical study shows that the viscoelastic–hereditary connection between oscillators causes the appearance of like two-frequency regimes of subsystem's vibrations and that the energy transfer between subsystems appears. The Lyapunov exponents corresponding to each of two eigenmodes of the hybrid system, as well as to the subsystems are obtained and expressed by using energy of the corresponding eigentime components. The Lyapunov exponents are measures of the vibration processes stability in the hybrid system and in component subsystem vibrations.

Dynamics of a chain system of rigid bodies with gravity-friction seismic dampers: fixed supports

A design model for a chain system of N elastically linked rigid bodies with a spheroidal gravity-friction damper is proposed. The Lagrange–Painlevé equations of the first kind are used to construct nonlinear dynamical models of a mechanical system undergoing translational vibrations about the equilibrium position. The conditions under which the system moves in one plane are established. The double nonstationary phase–frequency resonance of a system with N = 2 is analyze. After the numerical integration of the systems of differential equations, the phase–frequency surfaces are plotted and examined for several combinations of system parameters under two-frequency loading     

Transversal forced vibrations of an axially moving sandwich belt system

Based on the author’s previously published results for transversal free vibrations of axially moving sandwich belts described by coupled partial differential equations, which are derived and analytically solved, this paper contains new analytical results, for forced vibrations of the same system excited by transversal external excitation. The transversal forced vibrations of the axially moving sandwich belts are described by the coupled partial nonhomogeneous differential equations. The partial differential equations are analytically solved. Bernoulli’s method of particular integrals and Lagrange’s method of the variations of the constants are used.     

An exact analytical approach for in-plane and out-of-plane free vibration analysis of thick laminated transversely isotropic plates

In this article, the governing equations of motion of thick laminated transversely isotropic plates are derived based on Reddy’s third-order shear deformation theory. These equations are exactly converted to four uncoupled equations to study the in-plane and out-of-plane free vibrations of thick laminated plates without any usage of approximate methods. Based on the present analytical approach, exact Levy-type solutions are obtained for thick laminated transversely isotropic plates and, for some boundary conditions, the exact characteristic equations hitherto not reported in the literature are given. Also, the in-plane and out-of-plane deformed mode shapes are plotted for different boundary conditions. The present solutions can accurately predict both the in-plane and out-of-plane natural frequencies and mode shapes of thick laminated transversely isotropic plates.

Numerical simulation of the interaction of gravity waves with elastic ice floes

The self-consistent motion of a fluid and elastically oscillating plates partially covering the fluid is simulated numerically in the linear approximation. The problem is reduced to the simultaneous solution of the Laplace equation for the fluid and the equation of elastic plate oscillations for the ice. The numerical and analytical solutions, the latter obtained from an integral equation containing the Green’s function, are compared. To solve the problem numerically, the boundary element method for the Laplace equation and the finite element method for the equation describing the elastic plate are proposed. The coefficients of transmission and reflection of surface gravity waves from the floating plates are calculated. It is shown that the solution may be quasi-periodic with characteristics determined by the initial values of the wave and ice-floe parameters. The ice floes may exert a filtering effect on the surface wave spectrum, essentially reducing its most reflectable components. Sankt-Peterburg.

Local nonsimilarity method for the two-phase boundary layer in mixed convection laminar film condensation

The two-phase boundary layer in laminar film condensation was solved by Koh for the free convection regime and forced convection regime using the similarity method. But the problem on mixed convection does not admit similarity solutions. The current work develops a local nonsimilarity method for the full spectrum of mixed convection, with a generic boundary layer formulation reduced to two specific cases mathematically identical to Koh’s formulations on the two limiting cases for either free or forced convection. Other solution methods for mixed convection in the literature are compared and critically evaluated to ensure a high level of accuracy in the current method. The current solution is used to extend Fujii’s correlation for mixed convection to the region where the energy convection effect is significant but has been hitherto neglected. The modified Fujii correlation provides a practical engineering tool for evaluating laminar film condensation with a mixed convection boundary layer.     

Energy transfer in the hybrid system dynamics (energy transfer in the axially moving double belt system)

First, as an introduction, using the author’s published references, a short survey of an analytical study of the energy transfer between two coupled subsystems, as well as between a linear and nonlinear oscillators of a hybrid system, in the free and forced vibrations of a different type of inter connections between subsystems is presented. Second, as author’s new research result, an analytical study of the energy transfer between two coupled like-string belts interconnected by light pure elastic layer in the axially moving sandwich double belt system, in the free vibrations is presented. On the basis of the obtained analytical expressions for the kinetic and potential energy of the belts and potential energy of the of light pure elastic distributed layer numerous conclusions are derived. In the pure linear elastic double belt system no transfer energy between different eigen modes of transversal vibrations of the axially moving double belt system, but in every from of the set of the infinite numbers eigen modes, there are transfer energy between belts. Each of the eigen modes of the free transversal vibrations are like two-frequency. The change of the potential energy of the booth belts is four frequency, and interaction part of the potential energy is one frequency in the each eigen mode. Changes of the kinetic energy of the both belts of the sandwich double axially moving bet system is two frequency like oscillatory regimes with two time multiplicities of the eineg frequencies of the corresponding eigen amplitude mode.     

Comment on “Combined Forced and Free Convective Flow in a Vertical Porous Channel: The Effects of Viscous Dissipation and Pressure Work” by A. Barletta and D. A. Nield,Transport in Porous Media,DOI 10.1007/s11242-008-9320-y, 2009

In a recent article by Barletta and Nield (Transport in Porous Media, DOI , 2009), the title problem for the fully developed parallel flow regime was considered assuming isoflux/isothermal wall conditions. For the limiting cases of the forced and the free convection, analytical solutions were reported; for the general case, numerical solutions were reported. The aim of the present note is (i) to give an analytical solution for the full problem in terms of the Weierstrass elliptic P-function, (ii) to illustrate this general approach by two easily manageable examples, and (iii) to rise a couple of questions of basic physical interest concerning the interplay between the viscous dissipation and the pressure work. In this context, the concept of “eigenflow” introduced by Barletta and Nield is discussed in some detail.

Free v/s forced vibrations of a cylinder at low Re

Free vibrations of a circular cylinder of low non-dimensional mass are investigated at low Reynolds numbers. Computations are carried out for 5% blockage. Lock-in is observed for a range of Re and is accompanied with hysteresis at both lower as well as higher Re ends of the synchronisation/lock-in region. It is well known that the lock-in regime for free vibrations depends on the non-dimensional mass of the oscillator. The results from the present computations are compared with the data for forced vibrations from Koopmann (Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 28, 501–512, 1967) on a Y _max/D vs. f* plot, where Y _max is the maximum oscillation amplitude and f* is the ratio of cylinder vibration frequency to the vortex shedding frequency for a stationary cylinder. Good agreement is observed for the critical amplitude needed for onset of synchronisation between the forced and free vibrations. The results from the free vibrations are compared to the predictions from the linear oscillator model by assuming that the forces on the cylinder are unaffected as a result of vibrations. It is found that, for low mass oscillators, the modification of vortex shedding frequency and lift coefficient due to cylinder oscillations leads to the enhancement of the lock-in regime.

Approximate Analytical Solutions for Flow of a Third-Grade Fluid Through a Parallel-Plate Channel Filled with a Porous Medium

The flow of a non-Newtonian fluid through a porous media in between two parallel plates at different temperatures is considered. The governing momentum equation of third-grade fluid with modified Darcy’s law and energy equation have been derived. Approximate analytical solutions of momentum and energy equations are obtained by using perturbation techniques. Constant viscosity, Reynold’s model viscosity, and Vogel’s model viscosity cases are treated separately. The criteria for validity of approximate solutions are derived. A numerical residual error analysis is performed for the solutions. Within the validity range, analytical and numerical solutions are in good agreement.

Active damping of vibrations of plates subject to unknown pressure

An approach to the active damping of the forced resonant vibrations of orthotropic thermoviscoelastic plates with distributed sensors and actuators is proposed. The mechanical load is assumed unknown and is determined from the sensors’ indications. The problem of active damping of an isotropic thermoviscoelastic rectangular plate with hinged edges is solved as an example. A formula for the voltage to be applied to the actuator to damp the forced vibrations in the first mode is derived. The effect of the dimensions of the sensor and actuator and the dissipative properties of the materials on the effectiveness of active damping is studied

Reconciliation for Monoclinic Materials of the Linear,Elastically Isotropic Plate Theories of Reissner and Ladevèze

Reissner’s well-known sixth-order linear theory for the bending of elastically isotropic plates, here extended to elastically monoclinic materials, is shown to be a compatible precursor to a recent extension to monoclinic materials of Ladevèze’s exact fourth-order plate theory. With a solution of Reissner’s extended equations in hand, Ladevèze’s extended equations reduce to three equations for three unknowns, two additional, previously unknown functions now being determinant. The key link is the requirement that the stress resultants and couples of the two theories agree.     

Internal motion of the complex oscillators near main resonance

An analytical study of the two degrees of freedom nonlinear dynamical system is presented. The internal motion of the system is separated and described by one fourth order differential equation. An approximate approach allows reducing the problem to the Duffing equation with adequate initial conditions. A novel idea for an effective study of nonlinear dynamical systems consisting in a concept of the socalled limiting phase trajectories is applied. Both qualitative and quantitative complex analyses have been performed. Important nonlinear dynamical transition type phenomena are detected and discussed. In particular, nonsteady forced system vibrations are investigated analytically.
