Euler Bernoulli Beam

The Lindstedt-Poincaré method is applied to a nonuniform Euler-Bernoulli beam model for the free transverse vibrations of the system. The nonuniformities in the system include spatially varying and piecewise continuous bending stiffness and mass per unit length. The expression for the natural frequencies is obtained up to second-order and the expression for the mode shapes is obtained up to first-order. The explicit dependence of the natural frequencies and mode shapes on reference values for the bending stiffness and the mass per unit length of the system is determined. Multiple methods for choosing these reference values are presented and are compared using numerical examples.

Prestressed Concrete Bridges

Prestressed concrete bridges with corrugated steel webs have emerged as a new form of steel-concrete composite bridges with remarkable advantages compared with the traditional ones. However, the assumption that plane sections remain plane may no longer be valid for such bridges due to the different behavior of the constituents. The sandwich beam theory is extended to predict the flexural vibration behavior of this type of bridges considering the presence of diaphragms, external prestressing tendons and interaction between the web shear deformation and flange local bending. To this end, a [Formula: see text] beam finite element is formulated. The proposed theory and finite element model are verified both numerically and experimentally. A comparison between the analyses based on the sandwich beam model and on the classical Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko models reveals the following findings. First of all, the extended sandwich beam model is applicable to the flexural vibration analysis of the bridges considered. By letting [Formula: see text] denote the square root of the ratio of equivalent shear rigidity to the flange local flexural rigidity, and L the span length, the combined parameter [Formula: see text] appears to be more suitable for considering the diaphragm effect and the interaction between the shear deformation and flange local bending. The diaphragms have significant effect on the flexural natural frequencies and mode shapes only when the [Formula: see text] value of the bridge falls below a certain limit. For a bridge with an [Formula: see text] value over a certain limit, the flexural natural frequencies and mode shapes obtained from the sandwich beam model and the classical Euler–Bernoulli and Timoshenko models tend to be the same. In such cases, either of the classical beam theories may be used.

Fluid Conveying Pipes

Phononic crystals (PCs) are a novel class of artificial periodic structure, and their band gap (BG) attributes provide a new technical approach for vibration reduction in piping systems. In this paper, the vibration suppression performance and natural properties of fluid-conveying pipes with periodically varying cross-section are investigated. The flexural wave equation of substructure pipes is established based on the classical beam model and traveling wave property. The spectral element method (SEM) is developed for semi-analytical solutions, the accuracy of which is confirmed by comparison with the available literature and the widely used transfer matrix method (TMM). The BG distribution and frequency response of the periodic pipe are attained, and the natural frequencies and mode shapes are also obtained. The effects of some critical parameters are discussed. It is revealed that the BG of the present pipe system is fundamentally induced by the geometrical difference of the substructure cross-section, and it is also related to the substructure length and fluid–structure interaction (FSI). The number of cells does not contribute to the BG region, while it has significant effects on the amplitude attenuation, higher order natural frequencies and mode shapes. The impact of FSI is more evident for the pipes with smaller numbers of cells. Moreover, compared with the conventional TMM, the present SEM is demonstrated more effective for comprehensive analysis of BG characteristics and free vibration of PC dynamical structures.

Abstract The partial differential equation of motion of an axially moving beam with spatially varying geometric, mass and material properties has been derived. Using the theory of linear time-varying systems, a general algorithm has been developed to compute natural frequencies, mode shapes, and the critical speed for stability. Numerical results from the new method are presented for beams with spatially varying rectangular cross sections with sinusoidal variation in thickness and sine-squared variation in width. They are also compared to those from the Galerkin method. It has been found that critical speed of the beam can be significantly reduced by non-uniformity in a beam’s cross section.

The 3D model of gear with asymmetric profile and double pressure angles is built by the autodesk inventor software. It is imported and analyzed by the ANSYS software. Then each order natural frequencies and mode shapes are obtained. So resonance and harmful mode shapes can be avoided, and dynamic performances of gear with asymmetric profile and double pressure angles is improved.

The natural frequencies of lateral vibration of a long drill string in static tension under its own weight are primarily the same as those of the equivalent catenary. These frequencies and the mode shapes are affected to a certain extent by the bending stiffness and to a greater extent by the static deflection curve due to lateral deflection of the bottom end. In this paper, the governing equations are derived and general solutions are given in an asymptotic expansion with the bending stiffness as the parameter. Specific numerical results are given in dimensionless form for the first three natural frequencies for a very wide range of horizontal tension and several appropriate values of bending stiffness for zero vertical static force at the bottom.

At the stage of designing a special machine tool, it is necessary to analyze many variants of structural solutions of frames and load-bearing systems and to choose the best solution in terms of dynamic properties, in particular considering its resistance to chatter. For this reason, it is preferred to adopt a low-dimensional calculation model, which allows the user to reduce the necessary calculation time while maintaining a high accuracy. The paper presents the methodology of modeling the natural frequencies, mode shapes, and receptance functions of machine tool steel welded frames filled with strongly heterogenous polymer concrete, using low-dimensional models developed by the rigid finite elements method (RigFEM). In the presented study, a RigFEM model of a simple steel beam filled with polymer concrete and a frame composed of such beams were built. Then, the dynamic properties obtained on the basis of the developed RigFEM models were compared with the experimental results and the 1D and 3D finite element models (FEM) in terms of accuracy and dimensionality. As a result of the experimental verification, the full structural compliance of the RigFEM models (for beam and frame) was obtained, which was manifested by the agreement of the mode shapes. Additionally, experimental verification showed a high accuracy of the RigFEM models, obtaining for the beam model a relative error for natural frequencies of less than 4% and on average 2.2%, and for the frame model at a level not exceeding 11% and on average 5.5%. Comparing the RigFEM and FEM models, it was found that the RigFEM models have a slightly worse accuracy, with a dimensionality significantly reduced by 95% for the beam and 99.8% for the frame.

In this work, we investigate numerically the linear vibrations of inclined risers using the Galerkin approach. The riser is modeled as an Euler-Bernoulli beam accounting for the nonlinear mid-plane stretching and self-weight. After solving for the initial deflection of the riser due to self-weight, a Galerkin expansion of fifteen axially loaded beam mode shapes are used to solve the eigenvalue problem of the riser around the static equilibrium configuration. This yields the riser natural frequencies and exact mode shapes for various values of inclination angles and applied tension. The obtained results are validated against a boundary-layer analytical solution and are found in good agreement. This constructs a basis to study the nonlinear forced vibrations of inclined risers.

The free vibrations of a stepped Euler-Bernoulli beam are investigated by using the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). The stepped beam consists two uniform sections and each section is considered a substructure which can be modeled using ADM. By using boundary condition and continuity condition equations, the dimensionless natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes can be easily obtained simultaneously. The computed results for different boundary conditions are presented. Comparing the results using ADM to those given in the literature, excellent agreement is achieved.

Interactions between cables and structures affect the design and nondestructive testing of electricity transmission lines, guyed towers, and bridges. An analytical model for an electricity pole beam–cable system is presented, which can be extended to other applications. A cantilever beam is connected to two stranded cables. The cables are modeled as tensioned Euler–Bernoulli beams, considering the sag due to self-weight. The pole is also modeled as a cantilever Euler–Bernoulli beam and the equations of motion are derived using Hamilton’s principle. The model was validated with a reduced-scale system in the laboratory and a setup was designed to accurately measure the bending stiffness of the stranded cable under tension. It is concluded that the bending stiffness and sag of the cable have a significant effect on the dynamics of beam–cable structures. By adding the cable to the pole structure, some hybrid modes emerge in the eigenvalue solution of the system. Modes with antisymmetric cable motion are sag-independent and the modes with symmetric cable motion are dependent on the cable sag. The effect of sag on the natural frequencies is more significant when the bending stiffness of the cables is higher.
