PARAMETRIC STUDY FOR AN EFFICIENT MESHLESS METHOD IN VIBRATION ANALYSIS

Based on the moving least-squares (MLS) approach, an efficient meshless method is employed to generate the displacement functions for vibration analysis of elastic bodies. The equation of motion is established by following the standard procedure and the boundary conditions are imposed by applying penalty functions. As the displacement functions are expressed in terms of weight functions, the accuracy will depend on the parameters of the weight functions. Therefore, a parametric study is carried out to determine the best values for these parameters. To demonstrate the accuracy, modal analyses of the beams and plates with different boundaries have been carried out. In addition, the responses of these structures under dynamic excitation have been analyzed. The examples include simply supported beams subjected to sudden excitations and simply supported plates subjected to initial displacements.     

FREE VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF A SPINNING FLEXIBLE DISK-SPINDLE SYSTEM SUPPORTED BY BALL BEARING AND FLEXIBLE SHAFT USING THE FINITE ELEMENT METHOD AND SUBSTRUCTURE SYNTHESIS

Free vibration of a spinning flexible disk-spindle system supported by ball bearing and flexible shaft is analyzed by using Hamilton's principle, FEM and substructure synthesis. The spinning disk is described by using the Kirchhoff plate theory and von Karman non-linear strain. The rotating spindle and stationary shaft are modelled by Rayleigh beam and Euler beam respectively. Using Hamilton's principle and including the rigid body translation and tilting motion, partial differential equations of motion of the spinning flexible disk and spindle are derived consistently to satisfy the geometric compatibility in the internal boundary between substructures. FEM is used to discretize the derived governing equations, and substructure synthesis is introduced to assemble each component of the disk-spindle-bearing-shaft system. The developed method is applied to the spindle system of a computer hard disk drive with three disks, and modal testing is performed to verify the simulation results. The simulation result agrees very well with the experimental one. This research investigates critical design parameters in an HDD spindle system, i.e., the non-linearity of a spinning disk and the flexibility and boundary condition of a stationary shaft, to predict the free vibration characteristics accurately. The proposed method may be effectively applied to predict the vibration characteristics of a spinning flexible disk-spindle system supported by ball bearing and flexible shaft in the various forms of computer storage device, i.e., FDD, CD, HDD and DVD.     

PREDICTION OF NON-CAVITATING UNDERWATER PROPELLER NOISE

Non-cavitation noise of underwater propeller is numerically investigated. The main purpose is to analyze non-cavitation noise in various operating conditions with different configurations. The noise is predicted using time-domain acoustic analogy and boundary element method. The flow field is analyzed with potential-based panel method, and then the time-dependent pressure data are used as the input for Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings formulation to predict the farfield acoustics. Boundary integral equation method is also considered to investigate the effect of ducted propeller. Sound deflection and scattering effect on the duct is considered with the BEM. The governing equations are based on the assumption that all acoustic pressure is linear. A scattering approach is applied in which the acoustic pressure field is split into the known incident component and the unknown scattered component. Noise prediction results are presented for single propeller and ducted propeller in non-uniform flow conditions similar to real situation. The investigation reveals that the effect of a duct on the acoustic performance propeller is small in the far field under non-cavitating situations since the noise directivities of single and ducted propellers are almost the same. Only the high order BPFs are influenced by the existence of the duct.

First observation of double-twisted helical structure in a banana-shaped achiral molecule

The double-twisted helical structure was confirmed for the first time for the smectic phase of a banana-shaped molecular system from observation of the microscopic pattern. Optically polarized microscopic textures and phase transitions of 1,3-phenylene bis\[4-(3-chloro-4- n-octyloxyphenyliminomethyl) benzoate (PBCOB) and related compounds are described. The chloro-substituent introduced into the 3-position of the Schiff's base moiety of the banana-shaped molecule destabilized the smectic phase and enhanced new mesomorphic properties. The mesophases exhibited by the octyloxy homologue of the chloro-substituted compound were of the smectic phases, SmX1 and SmX2. The mixing behaviour between chloro-substituted and non-chloro-substituted compounds resulted in the appearance of a wide miscibility gap and enlargement of the SmX1 phase which can be seen in a lateral chloro-substituted compound.
