High-Frequency Dynamic Analysis of Plates in Thermal Environments Based on Energy Finite Element Method

Abstract: The energy density governing equation to analyze the high-frequency dynamic behavior of plates in thermal environments is derived in this paper, in which the thermal effects are considered to change the membrane stress state and temperature dependent material properties of plates. Then the thermal effects on the energy reflection and transmission coefficients are dealt with hereof. Based on the above, an EFEM (energy finite element method) based approximate approach for the energy analysis of coupled plates under nonuniform thermal environments is proposed. The approach could be conducted by three steps: (1) thermal analysis, (2) thermal stress analysis, and (3) forming element matrixes, joint matrixes, and the whole EFEM formulation for the energy analysis. The same mesh model is used for all the three steps. The comparison between EFEM results and classical modal superposition method results of simply supported plates in various uniform thermal environments and coupled plates in nonuniform thermal environments demonstrated that the derived energy governing equation and the proposed approach described well the smooth time- and locally space-averaged energy density. It is found that the distributions and levels of energy density are affected by thermal effects, and the variation trends are related to exciting frequency.

The band gap variation of a two dimensional binary locally resonant structure in thermal environment

Abstract: In this study, the numerical investigation of thermal effect on band gap dynamical characteristic for a two-dimensional binary structure composed of aluminum plate periodically filled with nitrile rubber cylinder is presented. Initially, the band gap of the binary structure variation trend with increasing temperature is studied by taking the softening effect of thermal stress into account. A breakthrough is made which found the band gap being narrower and shifting to lower frequency in thermal environment. The complete band gap which in higher frequency is more sensitive to temperature that it disappears with temperature increasing. Then some new transformed models are created by changing the height of nitrile rubber cylinder from 1mm to 7mm. Simulations show that transformed model can produce a wider band gap (either flexure or complete band gap). A proper forbidden gap of elastic wave can be utilized in thermal environment although both flexure and complete band gaps become narrower with temperature. Be...

Thermal stress effects on the flexural wave bandgap of a two-dimensional locally resonant acoustic metamaterial

Abstract: The elastic wave bandgap is obviously affected by heat while considering thermal stress. Nevertheless, the flat band, occurring in the lowest flexural branch, has not yet been explained clearly. This study investigates the influence of thermal stress on a flexural wave bandgap in a two-dimensional three-component acoustic metamaterial. Simulation results demonstrate that the band structure shifts to a lower frequency range, and the vibration response appears at a larger amplitude due to the bending stiffness being softened by the compressive membrane force. In addition, the first flexural band reduces to zero frequency in the central Brillouin zone. By viewing the vibration modes of the proposed unit cell, it is found that the out-of-plane mode shape attenuates with increasing temperature, while the in-plane vibration modes are unaffected by thermal stress.

Vibration of a plate coupled with fluid considering the effects of stress and deformation under hydrostatic load

Abstract: The effects of inner stress and geometric deformation caused by hydrostatic load on the vibration of a bottom plate-fluid coupled system are studied in detail. The Von Karman nonlinear strain displacement relationship and the Hamilton's principle are utilized to formulate the two sets of governing equations: nonlinear static equations under hydrostatic load and linear vibration equations of the plate-fluid coupled system considering the hydrostatic load effect at the nonlinear static position. A two-step theoretical approach is developed based on the equations. Experimental and numerical researches are carried out to validate the theoretical approach, and the natural frequencies derived by the three approaches coincide well. The results show that with the fluid height increasing, the natural frequencies of the plate decrease sharply at the very beginning, then increase constantly except that the fundamental frequency continues to decrease slowly. That means the added mass effect is the dominating effect when the fluid height is low, and the stiffening effect of the hydrostatic load plays a more important role with the fluid getting higher. The stress and deformation effects are considered respectively and compared in detail. Models with different fluid-plate size ratios are studied. Moreover, the hydrostatic load effect on the hydroelastic vibration responses of the plate is also analyzed.
