Coupled porous curved beams, due to their low weight and high flexibility, have many applications in engineering. This study investigates the vibration behavior of coupled porous curved beams in different boundary conditions. The system consists of two curved beams connected by a mid-layer of elastic springs. These beams are made of various materials, such as homogenous steel foam, and composite materials with PMMA (polymethyl methacrylate) and SWCNT (single-walled carbon nanotube) used as the matrix and nanofillers, respectively. To obtain equivalent material properties, the role of mixture (RoM) was employed, followed by the implementation of the porosity function. The system's governing equations were obtained by employing FSDT and Hamilton's law. To investigate thermal vibration, temperature was implemented as a load in the governing equations. The GDQ method was used to solve these equations. To demonstrate the applicability of the GDQ method in calculating the frequencies of the system and the correctness of the developed program, a validation study was conducted. After validation, numerous examples were presented to investigate the behavior of single and coupled curved beams in various material properties and boundary conditions. The results indicate that the frequencies of the curved beams and the system depend highly on the amount of porosity (n) and the distribution pattern. The system frequencies decreased with an increase in the porosity coefficient. The stiffness of the springs had no effect on the first mode frequency but increased frequencies of other modes in a specific range. The frequencies of the system decreased with an increase in environmental temperature.

Most of the existing evaluation criteria of vibration serviceability rely on the peak acceleration of the structure rather than that of the people keeping their own body unmoved on the structure who is the real receiver of structural vibrations. In order to accurately assess the vibration serviceability, therefore, a full path assessment approach of vibration serviceability based on vibration source, path and receiver is not only tentatively proposed in this paper, taking the peak acceleration of receiver into account, but also introduce a probability procedure to provide more instructive information instead of a single value. In fact, semi-rigid supported on both sides of the structure is more consistent with the actual situation than simply supported or clamped due to the application of the prefabricated footbridge structures. So, the footbridge is regarded as a beam with semi-rigid supported on both sides in this paper. The differential quadrature-integral quadrature coupled method is not only to handle different type of boundary conditions, but also after being further modified via the introduction of an approximation procedure in this work, the time-varying system problem caused by human-structure interaction can be solved well. The analytical results of numerical simulations demonstrate that the modified differential quadrature-integral quadrature coupled method has higher reliability and accuracy compared with the mode superposition method. What's more, both of the two different passive control measures, the tuned mass damper and semi-rigid supported, have good performance for reducing vibrations. Most importantly, semi-rigid supported is easier to achieve the objective of reducing vibration compared with tuned mass damper in design stage of structure.

This paper deals with the free vibrations of conical shells with linearly variable thickness by the transfer influence coefficient method. The classical thin shell theory based upon the Flugge theory is assumed and the governing equations of a conical shell are written as a coupled set of first order matrix differential equations using the transfer matrix. The Runge-Kutta-Gill integration method is used to solve the governing differential equation. The natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes are calculated numerically for the conical shells with linearly variable thickness and various boundary conditions at the edges. The present method is applied to conical shells with linearly varying thickness, and the effects of the semi-vertex angle, the number of circumferential waves and thickness ratio on vibration are studied.

Fluid loading of a vibrating cylindrical shell has influence on natural frequencies and vibration magnitudes of the shell and the acoustic pressure of fluid. The vibroacoustics of fluid-filled cylindrical shells need the coupled solution of Helmholtz equation and governing equation of a cylindrical shell with boundary conditions. This paper proposed the wall impedance of fluid-filled axisymmetric cylindrical shells, focusing on the inner fluid/shell interaction. To propose the impedance, shell displacements used the linear combination of in vacuo shell modes. Acoustic pressure prediction of fluid used Kirchhoff-Helmholtz integral equation with Green's function of the plane mode. For the demonstration of the proposed results, numerical applications on mufflers were conducted.

This paper presents a method of enhancing the accuracy of hybrid modelling that predicts dynamic characteristics of the coupled structure by synthesizing after FE analysis and vibration experimental analysis of the relevant individual substructure. Since most FE models in engineering problems are very large, dynamic analysis with the full FE model is costly. Frequency response function(FRF) synthesis after reducing the FE model can reduce this computational cost but introduce mode truncation error similarly in the case of considering only low-frequency mode after eigensolutions of the complete structure. This paper introduces a FRF of FE model for hybrid FRF synthesis, which is reduced by using IIRS methods and compensated through eigensolutions of the reduced model, and shows the effectiveness of the presented method.

This paper deals with the free vibrations of circular curved beams with thin-walled cross-section. The differential equation for the coupled flexural-torsional vibrations of such beams with warping is solved numerically to obtain natural frequencies and mode shapes. The Runge-Kutta and determinant search methods, respectively, are used to solve the governing differential equation and to compute the eigenvalues. The lowest three natural frequencies and corresponding mode shapes are calculated for the thin-walled horizontally curved beams with hinged-hinged, hinged-clamped, and clamped-clamped end constraints. A wide range of opening angle of beam, warping parameter, and two different values of slenderness ratios are considered. Numerical results are compared with existing exact and numerical solutions by other methods.

Modal analysis of cracked cantilever composite beams, made of graphite-fibre reinforced polyamide, is studied. By using the finite element and component mode synthesis methods, a numeric model applicable to investigate the vibration of cracked composite beams is developed. In this new approach, from the crack section, the composite beam separated into two parts coupled by a flexibility matrix taking into account the interaction forces. These forces are derived from the fracture mechanics theory as the inverse of the compliance matrix calculated with the proper stress intensity factors and strain energy release rate expressions. Numerical results are obtained for modal analysis of composite beams with a transverse non-propagating open crack, addressing the effects of the location and depth of the crack, and the volume fraction and orientation of the fibre on the natural frequencies and mode shapes. By means of modal data, the position and dimension of the defect can be found. The results of the study confirmed that presented method is suitable for the vibration analysis of cracked cantilever composite beams. Present technique can be easily extended to composite plates and shells.

The results are summarized as what follows: 1) The modeling of thin beams, which is a continuous system, into a two DOF system yields satisfactory results for the chaotic vibrations. 2) The concept of "natural forcing function" derived from the eigenfunction of the bifurcation mode is very useful for the natural responses of the system. 3) Among the perturbation techniques, HBM is a good estimate for the response when the geometry of motion is known. 4) It is known that there exist periodic solutions of coupled mode response for somewhat large damping and forcing amplitude, as well as weak damping and forcing. 5) The route-to-chaos related with lateral instability in thin beams is composed of period-doubling and quasiperiodic process and finally follows discontinuous period-doubling process. 6) The chaotic vibrations are verified by using Poincare maps, FFT's, time responses, trajectories in the configuration space, and the very powerful technique Lyapunov characteristics exponents.exponents.

The vibration fatigue is suitable case of fatigue problem that system is exposed to the random or other irregular sources. Even some kinds of effort using power spectral density (PSD) and statistical concept was presented to cope with the intangible force signal, it is still lack of providing a reasonable solution when its exciting frequency is near or beyond of first eigenvalue. In this paper, energy approach method is presented to calculate a vibration induced fatigue damage in frequency domain. Since the corresponding damage become much larger than nominal case when the vibration is coupled with a mode shape of given structure, the new technique compensate the characteristics of structure with a measured frequency response function (FRF) between forcing acceleration and responding stress.

In this paper, a experimental and theoretical study is carried out on the hydroelastic vibration for a rectangular bottom and side plate of tank. It is assumed that the tank wall is clamped along the plate edges. The fluid velocity potential is used for the simulation of fluid domain and to obtain the added mass due to plate vibration. It is assumed that the fluid is imcompressible and inviscid. Assumed mode method is utilized to the plate model and hydrodynamic force is obtained by the proposed approach. The coupled natural frequencies are obtained from the relationship between kinetic energies of a wall including fluid and the potential energy of the wall. The theoretical result is compared with the three-dimensional finite element method. In order to verify the result, modal test was carried out for bottom/side plate of tank model by using impact hammer. It was found the fundamental natural frequency of bottom plate is lower than that of side plate of tank and theoretical result was in good agreement with that of commercial three-dimensional finite element program.
