The vibration shows a strong coupling between the membrane and bending solutions: either the membrane drive or the bending drive causes motions of both the membrane type and bending type. Three interesting effects characteristic of the forced vibration emerge from the coupling nature: the non-bending effect, the inner-quiescent effect and the inner-membrane-motion-and-outer-bending-motion effect. These effects may have potential applications in engineering.展开更多

Firstly, by applying the first_order perturbation solution (the linear solution)of the FEDPM to the bellows, the obtained results were compared with those of the general solution and the initial parameter integration solution proposed by the present authors earlier, as well as of the experiments and the FEA by others.It is shown that the FEDPM is with good precision and reliability, and as it was pointed out in (Ⅰ) the abrupt changes of the meridian curvature of bellows would not affect the use of the usual straight element. Then the nonlinear behaviors of the bellows were discussed. As expected, the nonlinear effects mainly come from the bellows ring plate,and the wider the ring plate is, the stronger the nonlinear effects are. Contrarily, the vanishing of the ring plate, like the C_shaped bellows, the nonlinear effects almost vanish. In addition, when the pure bending moments act on the bellows, each convolution has the same stress distributions calculated by the linear solution and other linear theories, but by the present nonlinear solution they vary with respect to the convolutions of the bellows. Yet for most bellows, the linear solutions are valid in practice.展开更多

The formulations are mainly based upon the idea of perturba_ tion that the nodal displacement vector and the nodal force vector of each finite element are expanded by taking root_mean_square value of circumferential strains of the shells as a perturbation parameter. The load steps and the iteration times are not as arbitrary and unpredictable as in usual nonlinear analysis. Instead, there are certain relations between the load steps and the displacement increments, and no need of iteration for each load step. Besides, in the formulations, the shell is idealized into a series of conical frusta for the convenience of practice, Sander's nonlinear geometric equations of moderate small rotation are used, and the shell made of more than one material ply is also considered.展开更多

L. Axelrad's equations of flexible shells of revolution render asymmetrical lending. It turns out that the equations are analogous to Novozhilov's equations of symmetrical ring shells, where general sollutions have been given by W. Z. Chien. Therefore, by analogy with Chien's solution, a general solution for equations of the slender ring shells is put forward, which can be used to salve bellow's overall-bending problems.展开更多

And the non homogeneous solution is obtained from W. Z. Chien's solution for axial symmetrical slender ring shells to investigate the overall bending problem of Ω shaped bellows subjected to pure bending moments. The values calculated in the present paper are very close to the existing experiment. Thus Chien's work on axial symmetrical problems for ring shells has been extended to overall bending problems.展开更多

In the case of circular ring shells, this equation may be simplified into the equation given by F.Tdlke(1938)[3]. R.A. Clark(1950 )[4] and V. V.Novozhilov(1951)[5]. When the horizontal radius of the shell of revolution is much larger than the average radius of curvature of meridian curve, this equation in complex variable may be simplified into the equation for slander ring shells. If the ring shell is circular in shape, then this equation can be reduced into the equation in complex variable for slander circular ring shells given by this author (1979)[6]. If the form of elliptic cross-section is near a circle, then the equation of slander ring shell with near-circle ellipitic cross-section may be reduced to the complex variable equation similar in form for circular slander ring shells.展开更多

The motion and electric analytical formulation of the piezoelectric constrained layer are presented first. Based on the authors~ recent research on shells of revolution treated with passive constrained layer damping (PCLD), the integrated first-order differential matrix equation of a shell of revolution partially treated with ring ACLD blocks is derived in the frequency domain. By virtue of the extended homogeneous capacity precision integration technology, a stable and simple numerical method is further proposed to solve the above equation. Then, the vibration responses of an ACLD shell of revolution are measured by using the present model and method. The results show that the control performance of the ACLD treatment is complicated and frequency-dependent. In a certain frequency range, the ACLD treatment can achieve better damping characteristics compared with the conventional PCLD treatment.展开更多

These general equations can be reduced to the simplified Koiter's Reissner-Meissner-Reissner (RMR) equations and the simplified Reissner's equations, when the initial stresses are set to zero. They can also be deduced to the total Lagrange form or the updated Lagrange form, respectively, as the structure is spec- ified as the un-deformed or the former-deformed configurations. These incremental equations can be easily transformed into finite difference forms and solved by common numerical solvers of ordinary differential equations. Some numerical examples are presented to show the applications of the incremental equations to the deep shell of revolution and the corrugated diaphragms used in microelectronical mechanical system (MEMS). The results are in good agreement with those from finite element method (FEM).展开更多

Improvement has been made to accelerate the convergence to FBMD method by means of introducing the residual modes which take into accaunt the quasi -state contributiort of all neglected modes. As an example, the vibration and sound radiation of a submerged spherical shell excited by axisymmetric force are studied in cases of ka=l,2,3 and 4. From the calculated results we see that the FBMMD method shows a significant improvement to the accuracy of surface sound pressure, normal displacement and directivity patterns of radiating sound, especially to the directivity patterns.展开更多
