Abstract:
Abstract The application of the dynamic stiffness method (DSM) for free-vibration analysis of beams is surveyed in this paper. The historical development of the DSM, which has taken place in several stages, is discussed in detail with reference to the free-vibration problems of beams. In particular, the suitability of the DSM in solving the free-vibration problems of beams through the application of the well-known Wittrick–Williams algorithm as a solution technique is highlighted. The literature concerning homogeneous isotropic metallic beams, for which the DSM is well established, is reviewed first, after which, with the rapid and ongoing emergence of advanced composite materials, the development of the DSM in solving the free-vibration problems of anisotropic beams is discussed. The free-vibration analysis of functionally graded beams using the DSM is also highlighted. The survey covers the DSM application for free-vibration analysis of a wide range of beams, including sandwich beams, rotating beams, twisted beams, moving beams and bending-torsion coupled beams, amongst others. Some aspects of the contributions made by the author and his research team are also highlighted. Finally, the future potential of the DSM in solving complex engineering problems is projected.

Abstract:
In this research, an exact dynamic stiffness model for spatial plate built-up structures under comprehensive combinations of different boundary conditions is newly proposed. Dynamic stiffness formulations for plate elements with 16 different types of supported opposite edges and arbitrarily supported boundary conditions along other edges are developed, which makes the dynamic stiffness method (DSM) more applicable to engineering problems compared to existing works. The Wittrick–Williams algorithm of the DSM is applied with the explicit expressions of the J0 count for plate elements under all above support conditions. In return, there is no need to refine the element in the DSM, and thus, it becomes immensely efficient. Moreover, the present theory is applied for exact free vibration analysis within the whole frequency range of three built-up structures which are commonly encountered in engineering. The results show that the DSM gives exact results with as much as 100-fold computational efficiency advantage over the commercial finite element method. Besides, benchmark results are also provided.

Abstract:
The dynamic stiffness method (DSM) in our recent paper, which can consider both in-plane and out-of-plane vibrations simultaneously, is formulated to investigate the power flow characteristics of built-up plate structures. Prior to power flow analysis, comprehensive validation works on our DSM are performed so as to better exhibit its numerical capabilities. Power input and power transmission within a two-plate structure are then analyzed by following the context of in-plane and out-of-plane vibrations. In addition, three vibration transmission paths within a multiple plate structure are characterized in terms of power flow densities, which can provide better physical insights in vibration transmission within complex plate structures. Compared to power flow analysis based on the well-known reception/mobility method, our approach is strongly recommended for the dynamics of built-up structures since it can assemble the overall stiffness matrix in a straightforward manner like that in the conventional finite element technique.

Full text
Abstract:
An efficient hybrid method (HM) is proposed by combining the direct stiffness method (DSM) and the mode superposition method (MSM) for analyzing the train–track–bridge coupled system (TTBS). The train and the track are modeled by applying the multi-body dynamics and the DSM, respectively. The bridge is modeled by applying the MSM that is efficient in capturing the dynamic behavior with a small number of modes. The train–track subsystem and the bridge subsystem are coupled by the interaction forces between them. The computational efficiency is significantly improved because of the considerably reduced number of equations of motion of the TTBS. Numerical simulations of a train traversing an arch railway bridge are performed and the results are compared with the field test data and the data from other methods, demonstrating the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed method.

Abstract:
Comparison study on free vibration of circular cylindrical shells between thin and moderately thick shell theories when using the exact dynamic stiffness method (DSM) formulation is presented. Firstly, both the thin and moderately thick dynamic stiffness formulations are examined. Based on the strain and kinetic energy, the vibration governing equations are expressed in the Hamilton form for both thin and moderately thick circular cylindrical shells. The dynamic stiffness is assembled in a similar way as that in classic skeletal theory. With the employment of the Wittrick-Williams algorithm, natural frequencies of circular cylindrical shells can be obtained. A FORTRAN code is written and used to compute the modal characteristics. Numerical examples are presented, verifying the proposed computational framework. Since the DSM is an exact approach, the advantages of high accuracy, no-missing frequencies, and good adaptability to various geometries and boundary conditions are demonstrated. Comprehensive parametric studies on the thickness to radius ratio (h/r) and the length to radius ratio (L/r) are performed. Applicable ranges of h/r are found for both thin and moderately thick DSM formulations, and influences of L/r on frequencies are also investigated. The following conclusions are reached: frequencies of moderately thick shells can be considered as alternatives to those of thin shells with high accuracy where h/r is small and L/r is large, without any observation of shear locking.

Abstract:
The dynamic stiffness matrix (DSM) method, an analytical method that provides exact solutions, has been used for the first time for the free vibration analysis of a functionally graded (FG) rotor bearing system subjected to temperature gradients and to investigate its application to FG rotors. The material gradation occurs based on the power law between the inner metal core and the outer ceramic rich layer of the FG rotor. The temperature gradation follows the Fourier law of heat conduction which leads to non-linear temperature distribution (NLTD) in the radial direction of the FG rotor. The development of the DSM formulations for Timoshenko FG rotor elements using the governing equations derived from translational and rotational equilibrium conditions is the novelty of the present work. The DSM of the FG rotor elements, rigid disk and linear isotropic bearings are assembled to obtain the global dynamic stiffness matrix of the FG rotor bearing system. The natural whirl frequencies are computed from the global DSM using the Wittrick–William algorithm as a root searching technique. The natural and whirl frequencies are validated with the results available in the literature and the exactness of the DSM method has been exemplified.

The effects of spindles vibrational behavior on the stability lobes and the Chatter behavior of machine tools have been established. The service life has been observed to reducethe system natural frequencies. An analytical model of a multi-segment spinning spindle, based on the Dynamic Stiffness Matrix (DSM) formulation, exact within the limits of the Euler-Bernoulli beam bending theory, is developed. The system exhibits coupled Bending-Bending (B-B) vibration and its natural frequencies are found to decrease with increasing spinning speed. The bearings were included in the model usingboth rigid, simply supported, frictionless pins and flexible linear spring elements. The linear spring element stiffness is then calibrated so that the fundamental frequency of the system matches the nominal value.

Abstract:
A dynamic stiffness element for flexural vibration analysis of delaminated multilayer beams is developed and subsequently used to investigate the natural frequencies and modes of two-layer beam configurations. Using the Euler-Bernoulli bending beam theory, the governing differential equations are exploited and representative, frequency-dependent, field variables are chosen based on the closed form solution to these equations. The boundary conditions are then imposed to formulate the dynamic stiffness matrix (DSM), which relates harmonically varying loads to harmonically varying displacements at the beam ends. The bending vibration of an illustrative example problem, characterized by delamination zone of variable length, is investigated. Two computer codes, based on the conventional Finite Element Method (FEM) and the analytical solutions reported in the literature, are also developed and used for comparison. The intact and defective beam natural frequencies and modes obtained from the proposed DSM method are presented along with the FEM and analytical results and those available in the literature.

Abstract:
Measurements and predictions of railway-induced vibrations are becoming a necessity in today’s society where land scarcity causes buildings to be put close to railway traffic. The short distances mean an increased risk of the indoor vibration and noise disturbances experienced by residents. In short, the scope of the project is to investigate the transmission loss and vibration level decrease across various junction geometries. The junctions are modelled in both the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the Dynamic Stiffness Method (DSM). Resonances are avoided when possible by using semi-infinite building components. A two-dimensional model that included Timoshenko beams was set up by Wijkmark [1] and solved using the variational formulation of the DSM by Finnveden [2]. The model is efficient and user-friendly but there is no easy way to adjust the junction geometry since the depths of the walls and the floor slabs are the same. From that study, the current topic was formulated. The results presented in this paper indicate that both the Euler-Bernoulli DS model and the three-dimensional FE model have good potential in describing the vibration transmission across the different junction geometries. The two modelling types show more similar results in the analyses of the bending wave attenuation than in the analyses of the quasilongitudinal wave attenuation. One of the probable causes is that the set length of the Perfectly Matched Layers (PML) is not sufficient at such low frequencies. Larger PMLs require bigger geometries that lead to an increase of the computational time. The other proposed reason is the fact that bending waves are created above the asymmetrical junction when the lower beam is excited by a vertical harmonic force. The flexural displacements are neglected in those cases. The results however, were good enough to be satisfactory. Three junction models were investigated and the attenuation is the highest for both wave types in the case with a beam pair attached to the “middle” of an infinite plate. The attenuation is the second highest across the edge of a semi-infinite plate and the lowest across a junction corner of a semi-infinite plate. As part of the suggested future work, the wave transmission between beam and plate needs to be investigated when Timoshenko beams are included in the DS model. In the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory the cross-section remains perpendicular to the beam axis, which is different to the behaviour of solid elements in FEM.

Abstract:
The subject of acoustic fatigue first came to prominence with the advent of using jet engines on commercial aircraft in the 1950’s. Despite the period of time which has elapsed since then and the work carried out to help develop our understanding of the response of structures subject to high intensity noise, acoustic fatigue problems still occur. The novel contributions which this thesis makes to knowledge in the area have been in the application of the dynamic stiffness method which has been used to predict stress and strain response due to acoustic loading. The dynamic stiffness method can under certain circumstances provide very accurate results for natural frequency and displacement. Indeed for certain configurations it can provide exact solutions. It is largely independent of the number of degrees of freedom necessary to give an accurate result unlike the finite element method. The thesis documents how the dynamic stiffness method can offer a very favourable alternative to available analysis techniques. An alternative method of formulating the dynamic stiffness method is presented and is further extended to the analysis of orthotropic plates. The response of actual structures is discussed and previously unpublished data is also presented.

Abstract:

 The aim of this thesis was to evaluate the use of dynamic excitation as a method for stiffness and strength grading of wet side boards of narrow dimensions. The need for such an investigation has previously been identified in an ongoing research project in which the possibility to use side boards as lamellae in wet glued glulam beams is investigated.

     The assessment of the dynamic excitation method was carried out by means of experimental work and measurements.. The approach was quantitative in the sense that the data was collected through experiments performed on a rather large population and that the results were analyzed using statistical methods.

     To investigate the effect of moisture content on stiffness of narrow dimension, side boards, the stiffness was measured in three states:

  • - in wet state, before splitting the boards,
  • - in wet state, after splitting the boards, and
  • - in dry state (splitted boards).

     The conclusion, after calculations and analysis of all the results, was that the natural frequency and stiffness of wet boards could, with a high degree of reliability, be predicted by use of the dynamic excitation method. There was a strong correlation in stiffness between wet state split boards and dry state split boards, with a coefficient of determination of 0.93.

Abstract:
Uncertainties in load and system properties play a significant role in reliability analysis of vibrating structural systems. The subject of random vibrations has evolved over the last few decades to deal with uncertainties in external loads. A well developed body of literature now exists which documents the status of this subject. Studies on the influ­ence of system property uncertainties on reliability of vibrating structures is, however, of more recent origin. Currently, the problem of dynamic response characterization of sys­tems with parameter uncertainties has emerged as a subject of intensive research. The motivation for this research activity arises from the need for a more accurate assess­ment of the safety of important and high cost structures like nuclear plant installations, satellites and long span bridges. The importance of the problem also lies in understand­ing phenomena like mode localization in nearly periodic structures and deviant system behaviour at high frequencies. It is now well established that these phenomena are strongly influenced by spatial imperfections in the vibrating systems. Design codes, as of now, are unable to systematically address the influence of scatter and uncertainties. Therefore, there is a need to develop robust design algorithms based on the probabilistic description of the uncertainties, leading to safer, better and less over-killed designs. Analysis of structures with parameter uncertainties is wrought with diffi­culties, which primarily arise because the response variables are nonlinearly related to the stochastic system parameters; this being true even when structures are idealized to display linear material and deformation characteristics. The problem is further com­pounded when nonlinear structural behaviour is included in the analysis. The analysis of systems with parameter uncertainties involves modeling of random fields for the system parameters, discretization of these random fields, solutions of stochastic differential and algebraic eigenvalue problems, inversion of random matrices and differential operators, and the characterization of random matrix products. It should be noted that the mathematical nature of many of these problems is substantially different from those which are encountered in the traditional random vibration analysis. The basic problem lies in obtaining the solution of partial differential equations with random coefficients which fluctuate in space. This has necessitated the development of methods and tools to deal with these newer class of problems. An example of this development is the generalization of the finite element methods of structural analysis to encompass problems of stochastic material and geometric characteristics. The present thesis contributes to the development of methods and tools to deal with structural uncertainties in the analysis of vibrating structures. This study is a part of an ongoing research program in the Department, which is aimed at gaining insights into the behaviour of randomly parametered dynamical systems and to evolve computational methods to assess the reliability of large scale engineering structures. Recent studies conducted in the department in this direction, have resulted in the for­mulation of the stochastic dynamic stiffness matrix for straight Euler-Bernoulli beam elements and these results have been used to investigate the transient and the harmonic steady state response of simple built-up structures. In the present study, these earlier formulations are extended to derive the stochastic dynamic stiffness matrix for a more general beam element, namely, the curved Timoshenko beam element. Furthermore, the method has also been extended to study the mean and variance of the stationary response of built-up structures when excited by stationary stochastic forces. This thesis is organized into five chapters and four appendices. The first chapter mainly contains a review of the developments in stochas­tic finite element method (SFEM). Also presented is a brief overview of the dynamics of curved beams and the essence of the dynamic stiffness matrix method. This discussion also covers issues pertaining to modeling rotary inertia and shear deformations in the study of curved beam dynamics. In the context of SFEM, suitability of different methods for modeling system uncertainties, depending on the type of problem, is discussed. The relative merits of several schemes of discretizing random fields, namely, local averaging, series expansions using orthogonal functions, weighted integral approach and the use of system Green functions, are highlighted. Many of the discretization schemes reported in the literature have been developed in the context of static problems. The advantages of using the dynamic stiffness matrix approach in conjunction with discretization schemes based on frequency dependent shape functions, are discussed. The review identifies the dynamic analysis of structures built-up of randomly parametered curved beams, using dynamic stiffness matrix method, as a problem requiring further research. The review also highlights the need for studies on the treatment of non-Gaussian nature of system parameters within the framework of stochastic finite element analysis and simulation methods. The problem of deterministic analysis of curved beam elements is consid­ered first. Chapter 2 reports on the development of the dynamic stiffness matrix for a curved Timoshenko beam element. It is shown that when the beam is uniformly param-etered, the governing field equations can be solved in a closed form. These closed form solutions serve as the basis for the formulation of damping and frequency dependent shape functions which are subsequently employed in the thesis to develop the dynamic stiffness matrix of stochastically inhomogeneous, curved beams. On the other hand, when the beam properties vary spatially, the governing equations have spatially varying coefficients which discount the possibility of closed form solutions. A numerical scheme to deal with this problem is proposed. This consists of converting the governing set of boundary value problems into a larger class of equivalent initial value problems. This set of Initial value problems can be solved using numerical schemes to arrive at the element dynamic stiffness matrix. This algorithm forms the basis for Monte Carlo simulation studies on stochastic beams reported later in this thesis. Numerical results illustrating the formulations developed in this chapter are also presented. A satisfactory agreement of these results has been demonstrated with the corresponding results obtained from independent finite element code using normal mode expansions. The formulation of the dynamic stiffness matrix for a curved, randomly in-homogeneous, Timoshenko beam element is considered in Chapter 3. The displacement fields are discretized using the frequency dependent shape functions derived in the pre­vious chapter. These shape functions are defined with respect to a damped, uniformly parametered beam element and hence are deterministic in nature. Lagrange's equations are used to derive the 6x6 stochastic dynamic stiffness matrix of the beam element. In this formulation, the system property random fields are implicitly discretized as a set of damping and frequency dependent Weighted integrals. The results for a straight Timo- shenko beam are obtained as a special case. Numerical examples on structures made up of single curved/straight beam elements are presented. These examples also illustrate the characterization of the steady state response when excitations are modeled as stationary random processes. Issues related to ton-Gaussian features of the system in-homogeneities are also discussed. The analytical results are shown to agree satisfactorily with corresponding results from Monte Carlo simulations using 500 samples. The dynamics of structures built-up of straight and curved random Tim-oshenko beams is studied in Chapter 4. First, the global stochastic dynamic stiffness matrix is assembled. Subsequently, it is inverted for calculating the mean and variance, of the steady state stochastic response of the structure when subjected to stationary random excitations. Neumann's expansion method is adopted for the inversion of the stochastic dynamic stiffness matrix. Questions on the treatment of the beam characteris­tics as non-Gaussian random fields, are addressed. It is shown that the implementation of Neumann's expansion method and Monte-Carlo simulation method place distinc­tive demands on strategy of modeling system parameters. The Neumann's expansion method, on one hand, requires the knowledge of higher order spectra of beam properties so that the non-Gaussian features of beam parameters are reflected in the analysis. On the other hand, simulation based methods require the knowledge of the range of the stochastic variations and details of the probability density functions. The expediency of implementing Gaussian closure approximation in evaluating contributions from higher order terms in the Neumann expansion is discussed. Illustrative numerical examples comparing analytical and Monte-Carlo simulations are presented and the analytical so­lutions are found to agree favourably with the simulation results. This agreement lends credence to the various approximations involved in discretizing the random fields and inverting the global dynamic stiffness matrix. A few pointers as to how the methods developed in the thesis can be used in assessing the reliability of these structures are also given. A brief summary of contributions made in the thesis together with a few suggestions for further research are presented in Chapter 5. Appendix A describes the models of non-Gaussian random fields employed in the numerical examples considered in this thesis. Detailed expressions for the elements of the covariance matrix of the weighted integrals for the numerical example considered in Chapter 5, are presented in Appendix B; A copy of the paper, which has been ac­cepted for publication in the proceedings of IUTAM symposium on 'Nonlinearity and Stochasticity in Structural Mechanics' has been included as Appendix C.

Abstract:
Echocardiography is a key diagnostic method in the management of patients with cardiomyopathies.The main echocardiographic findings of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy are asymmetric hypertrophy of the septum, increased echogenicity of the myocardium, systolic anterior motion, turbulent left ventricular (LV) outflow tract blood flow, intracavitary gradient of dynamic nature, mid-systolic closure of the aortic valve and mitral regurgitation. The degree of hypertrophy and the magnitude of the obstruction have prognostic meaning. Echocardiography plays a fundamental role not only in diagnostic process, but also in management of patients, prognostic stratification, and evaluation of therapeutic intervention effects.In idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, echocardiography reveals dilation and impaired contraction of the LV or both ventricles. The biplane Simpson’s method incorporates much of the shape of the LV in calculation of volume; currently, three-dimensional echocardiography accurately evaluates LV volumes. Deformation parameters might be used for detection of early ventricular involvement. Stress echocardiography using dobutamine or dipyridamole may contribute to risk stratification, evaluating contractile reserve and left anterior descending flow reserve. LV dyssynchrony assessment is challenging and in patients with biventricular pacing already applied, optimization of atrio-interventricular delays should be done. Specific characteristics of right ventricular dysplasia and isolated LV non-compaction can be recognized, resulting in an increasing frequency of their prevalence. Rare forms of cardiomyopathy related with neuromuscular disorders can be studied at an earlier stage of ventricular involvement.Restrictive and infiltrative cardiomyopathies are characterized by an increase in ventricular stiffness with ensuing diastolic dysfunction and heart failure. A variety of entities may produce this pathological disturbance with amyloidosis being the most prevalent. Storage diseases (Fabry, Gaucher, Hurler) are currently treatable and early detection of ventricular involvement is of paramount importance for successful treatment. Traditional differentiation between constrictive pericarditis (surgically manageable) and the rare cases of restrictive cardiomyopathy should be properly performed.

Abstract:
The Dynamic Stiffness Method (DSM) is used to analyse the free vibration characteristics of a rotating uniform Shear beam. Starting from the kinetic and strain energy expressions, the Hamilton’s principle is used to obtain the governing differential equations of motion and the natural boundary conditions. The two equations are solved simultaneously and expressed each in terms of displacement and slope only. The Frobenius power series solution is applied to solve the equations and the resulting solutions are also expressed in terms of four independent solutions. Applying the appropriate boundary conditions, the Dynamic Stiffness Matrix is assembled. The natural frequencies of vibration using the DSM are computed by employing the in-built root finding algorithm in Mathematica as well as by implementing the Wittrick-Williams algorithm in a numerical routine in Mathematica. The results obtained using the DSM are presented in tabular and graphical forms and are compared with results obtained using the Timoshenko and the Bernoulli-Euler theories.

Abstract:
This paper presents a Dynamic Finite Element (DFE) formulation, based on the Dynamic Stiffness Matrix (DSM) approach, for vibrational analysis of spinning beams. The constituent members are considered to be linearly tapered as well as centrifugally stiffened. A non-dimensional formulation is considered, and the frequency dependent trigonometric shape functions are used to find a single frequency dependent element matrix (called DSM) which has both mass and stiffness properties. An adapted bisection method based on a Sturm sequence root counting technique, is used to find the first four out-of-plane flexural natural frequencies of a cantilevered linearly tapered (in height) beam for different non-dimensional rotating speeds. The results have been compared to those found by finite elements method using Hermite beam elements. Much better convergency rates are found by this method when comparing to conventional finite element methods.

Abstract This paper introduces a frequency-domain approach of structural damage identification method (SDIM). The present SDIM is formulated from the exact dynamic stiffness matrix (DSM) equation of motion and then applied to beam structures. The appealing features of the present SDIM are: (1) it needs the DSM only for intact structure, (2) the excitation forces and the measured frequency response functions (FRFs) of damaged structure are only the required input data, and (3) it can locate and quantify many local damages at a time. The feasibility of the present SDIM is verified through some numerically simulated damage identification tests.

Abstract An exact Dynamic Finite Element (DFE) approach for the coupled Flap-Lag vibration of blades is presented. DFE can be considered as a combination of the Finite Element Method (FEM) and the Dynamic Stiffness Matrix (DSM) formulations. The weighted residual method is used and the weighting and shape functions are chosen referring to the appropriate closed form solution of the non-coupled member equations. Based on the DFE approach, the natural frequencies for a scaled propeller blade are calculated and they are compared to the experimental data and other existing results.

Abstract:
An ‘exact’ basis function Dynamic Finite Element (DFE) for the free vibrational analysis of axially loaded beams and assemblages composed of beams is presented. The shear deformation is neglected but the Rotary Inertia (RI) effects are taken into consideration. The dynamic trigonometric shape functions for bending vibrations of an axially loaded uniform beam element are first derived in an exact sense. Then, exploiting the Principle of Virtual Work together with the nodal approximations of variables based on these dynamic shape functions, leads to a single frequency dependent Dynamic Stiffness Matrix (DSM) that represents both mass and stiffness properties. A Wittrick-Williams algorithm, based on a Sturm sequence root counting technique, is then used as the solution method. The application of the theory is demonstrated by an illustrative example of cantilever beam where the influence of Rotary Inertia (RI) effect and different axial loads on the natural frequencies of the system is demonstrated by numerical results.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper deals with the acoustical design goal for a new approach in submarine architecture calling for the use of an internal truss to support the ship’s control and living spaces in the forward section. The acoustical design goal is to minimize truss vibration over a broad band of frequency through the application of passive damping treatments. Damping can be placed in three generic locations: 1) in or along the truss members, 2) in the joints between members, and 3) in dynamic absorbers placed at discrete locations along the truss members. This paper develops the framework for evaluating ways to achieve the stated acoustical goal. We outline the formulation of the Direct Global Stiffness Matrix method (DGSM), which is used to relate externally applied forces and moments at truss joints to joint displacements everywhere on the truss. The model is kinematically constrained by matching welded boundary conditions at the joints, and the joint displacements are computed by a sparse matrix inversion method. From these displacements, wave amplitudes for each of the three wave types, longitudinal, torsional, and flexural, may be computed on any of the beam members. An example of the use of this method illustrates the sensitivity of the global energy decay rate to the truss damping parameters, which are the only free parameters of the model.

Full text
Abstract:
Reynolds equation governs the generation of hydrodynamic pressure in oil lubricated fluid film bearings. The static and dynamic forced response of a bearing is obtained from integration of the film pressure on the bearing surface. For small amplitude journal motions, a linear analysis represents the fluid film bearing reaction forces as proportional to the journal center displacements and velocity components through four stiffness and four damping coefficients. These force coefficients are integrated into rotor-bearing system structural analysis for prediction of the system stability and the synchronous response to imbalance. Fluid inertia force coefficients, those relating reaction forces to journal center accelerations, are routinely ignored because most oil lubricated bearings operate at relatively low Reynolds numbers, i.e., under slow flow conditions. Modern rotating machinery operates at ever increasing surface speeds to deliver more power in smaller size units. Under these operating conditions fluid inertia effects need to be accounted for in the forced response of oil lubricated bearings, as recent experimental test data also reveal. The paper presents a finite element formulation to predict added mass coefficients in oil lubricated bearings by extending a basic formulation that already calculates the bearing stiffness and damping force coefficients. That is, a small amplitude perturbation analysis of the lubrication flow equations keeps the temporal fluid inertia effects and develops a set of equations to obtain the bearing stiffness, damping and inertia force coefficients. The method does not impose on the cost of the original formulation which makes it very attractive for ready implementation in existing software. Predictions of the computational model are benchmarked against archival test data for an oil-lubricated pressure dam bearing supporting large compressors. The comparisons show fluid inertia effects cannot be ignored for operation at high rotor speeds and with small static loads.

Abstract:
Abstract A novel dynamic vibration absorber is presented while exploring its practical implementation using piezoelectric ceramic (PZT) inertial actuators. It is referred to as active resonator absorber (ARA). The ARA is a passive absorber with an additional dynamic feedback compensator within the PZT actuator. Without any controller, the PZT inertial actuator becomes a passive vibration absorber due to the internal damping and stiffness properties of piezoelectric materials. Hence, it is inherently fail-safe. For active operation, the compensator parameters are designed such that a resonance condition is intentionally created within the absorber to mimic the vibratory energy from the system of concern to which it is attached. The resonance condition can be created through the appropriate design of the compensator and implemented through adjusting the external electrical voltage applied to the absorber. Because the parameters of the PZT actuators (i.e. stiffness, damping, and effective mass) are estimates, compensator designs based on these parameters would result in partial vibration suppression, when utilized in real applications. An auto-tuning method is, therefore, introduced to effectively tune the compensator parameters to improve vibration suppression quality. The effectiveness and stability of the proposed absorber is demonstrated through simulations when appended on a SDOF primary system.

Abstract:
Recent concerns regarding global warming and energy security have accelerated research and developmental efforts to produce biofuels from agricultural and forestry residues, and energy crops. Anaerobic digestion is a promising process for producing biogas-biofuel from biomass feedstocks. However, there is a need for new reactor designs and operating considerations to process fibrous biomass feedstocks. In this research project, the multiphase flow behavior of biomass particles was investigated. The objective was accomplished through both simulation and experimentation. The simulations included both particle-level and bulk flow simulations. Successful computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation of multiphase flow in the digester is dependent on the accuracy of constitutive models which describe (1) the particle phase stress due to particle interactions, (2) the particle phase dissipation due to inelastic interactions between particles and (3) the drag force between the fibres and the digester fluid. Discrete Element Method (DEM) simulations of Homogeneous Cooling Systems (HCS) were used to develop a particle phase dissipation rate model for non-spherical particle systems that was incorporated in a two-fluid CFDmultiphase flow model framework. Two types of frictionless, elongated particle models were compared in the HCS simulations: glued-sphere and true cylinder. A new model for drag for elongated fibres was developed which depends on Reynolds number, solids fraction, and fibre aspect ratio. Schulze shear test results could be used to calibrate particle-particle friction for DEM simulations. Several experimental measurements were taken for biomass particles like olive pulp, orange peels, wheat straw, semolina, and wheat grains. Using a compression tester, the breakage force, breakage energy, yield force, elastic stiffness and Young’s modulus were measured. Measurements were made in a shear tester to determine unconfined yield stress, major principal stress, effective angle of internal friction and internal friction angle. A liquid fludized bed system was used to determine critical velocity of fluidization for these materials. Transport measurements for pneumatic conveying were also assessed. Anaerobic digestion experiments were conducted using orange peel waste, olive pulp and wheat straw. Orange peel waste and olive pulp could be anaerobically digested to produce high methane yields. Wheat straw was not digestible. In a packed bed reactor, anaerobic digestion was not initiated above bulk densities of 100 kg/m³ for peel waste and 75 kg/m³ for olive pulp. Interestingly, after the digestion has been initiated and balanced methanogenesis established, the decomposing biomass could be packed to higher densities and successfully digested. These observations provided useful insights for high throughput reactor designs. Another outcome from this project was the development of low cost devices to measure methane content of biogas for off-line (US$37), field (US$50), and online (US$107) applications.

VIBRO-ACOUSTICAL PERFORMANCE OF A STEEL BEAM OF GROOVE PROFILE: FIELD TEST AND NUMERICAL ANALYSIS. The Hong Kong Institute of Steel Construction, August 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.18057/icass2020.p.063.

Full text
Abstract:
To meet the development needs of rail transit, steel beams are more widely used in bridges, which brings more significant vibration and noise problems. In this paper, the dynamic characteristics of a steel beam of groove profile are investigated through field test and numerical analysis. Firstly, under the hammering excitation, the vibration response of the slabs in a descending order are right web, left web and bottom slab. The vibration response is related to the distance from the response position to the excitation source and the stiffness of slabs. Then, a numerical model of the steel beam is established based on the hybrid FE-SEA method. The results of field test are consistent with the numerical simulation, which confirms the effectiveness of the hybrid FE-SEA method when analyzing the steel beam. Finally, by comparing the sound power level radiated from different slabs in three zones, it can be concluded that the sound power level is related to the distance from the test position to the excitation source. The overall sound power level will increase when canceling transverse connection system, and center excitation has a more significant effect than off-center excitation.
