Frequency Veering of Rotating Metal Porous Twisted Plate with Cantilever Boundary Using Shell Theory

The frequency veering of a metal porous rotating cantilever twisted plate with twist angle and stagger angle is investigated.Metal porous materials may have the characteristics of gradient or uniform distribution along the thickness direction.Based on the classical shell theory,considering the influence of centrifugal force produced by high-speed rotation,the free vibration equations of a rotating cantilever twisted plate are derived.Through the polynomial function and Rayleigh-Ritz method,the natural frequencies and mode shapes of the metal porous cantilever twisted plate in both static and rotating states are derived.The accuracy of the present theory and calculation results is confirmed by a comparison between them and the results available from the literature and those obtained from Abaqus.The influences of the thickness ratio,porosity,twist angle,stagger angle and rotational velocity on the frequency veering and mode shape shift of the rotating cantilever twisted plate with porous material under three different distributions are analyzed.It should be mentioned that the frequency veering accompanied by mode shape shift occurs in both static and dynamic states.

A GEOMETRIC THEORY IN INVESTIGATION ON MODE LOCALIZATION AND FREQUENCY LOCI VEERING PHENOMENA

According to the mapping theory in complex plane, the geometric features of eigen frequency loci of systems undergoing free vibrations are investigated. It is concluded that the phenomena of curve coalescence and veering can be described in a unified manner from the singularities of mapping from the complex parameter plane onto the complex frequency plane. The formation of a branch point in the parameter Space is the foundation of explaining localization and veering phenomena. By the use of condensation to reduce the dimension of a system, the scope of application of the geometric theory is widely expanded. The theory is applied to examples to verify the validity of the proposed approach. The present work is an improvement and extension of recent work by M. S. Traintafyllou et al..

Natural vibration of cantilever porous twisted plate with variable thickness in different directions

In this paper,the blade is assumed to be a rotating variable thickness cantilever twisted plate structure,and the natural vibrations of variable thickness cantilever twisted plate made of metal porous material are studied.It is assumed that the thickness of the plate changes along spanwise direction and chordwise direction,respectively,and it changes in both directions.The classical thin shell theory,the first and second fundamental forms of surface and von Karman geometric relationship are employed to derive the total potential energy and kinetic energy of the cantilever twisted plate,in which the centrifugal force potential due to high rotational speed is included.Then,according to the Rayleigh-Ritz procedure and applying the polynomial functions which satisfy the cantilever boundary conditions,the dynamic system expressed by equations of motion is reduced to an eigenvalue problem.By numerical simulation,the frequency curves and the mode shapes of the twisted plate can be obtained to reveal the internal connection between natural vibration and the parameters.A series of comparison studies are performed to verify the accuracy of the present formulation and calculations,in which compared data come from experimental,finite element method and theoretical calculation,respectively.The influence of pre-twist angle,three different forms of thickness taper ratio and rotational speed on natural vibration,mode exchange and frequency veering phenomenon of the system is discussed in detail.In addition,the approach proposed here can efficiently extract analytical expressions of mode functions for rotating variable thickness cantilever twisted plate structures.
