Abstract
Guided waves sensitivity to environmental and operational conditions, especially temperature fluctuations, is one of the major problems when the method is considered for real engineering applications. The aim of this paper is to propose a novel dispersion curves extraction method for waveguides affected by nonuniform transient temperature field. Essentially, the method is based on a simple and robust approach, consisting in a few series of modal analyses for a representative part of the inspected structure. To consider the effect of temperature, a thermal stress calculation based on finite element method is presented. In this way, for different wave lengths, the mode shapes and corresponding natural frequencies can be obtained by solving some thermal-eigenvalue problems. To test the theoretical thermal effect of the dispersion curves a experiment on an isotropic plate is conducted. Those theoretical dispersion curves, consisting of only dominant modes, are compared with dispersion curves obtained from experiment. Finally, this method is used to extract the dispersion curves of the aero-engine casing considering the nonuniform temperature field. The results not only give us insight to how temperature affects Lamb wave velocities in different frequency ranges but also will help those extracting dispersion curves for waveguides affected by nonuniform transient temperature field.
期刊介绍:
Currently known as Journal of Theoretical and Computational Acoustics (JTCA).The aim of this journal is to provide an international forum for the dissemination of the state-of-the-art information in the field of Computational Acoustics. Topics covered by this journal include research and tutorial contributions in OCEAN ACOUSTICS (a subject of active research in relation with sonar detection and the design of noiseless ships), SEISMO-ACOUSTICS (of concern to earthquake science and engineering, and also to those doing underground prospection like searching for petroleum), AEROACOUSTICS (which includes the analysis of noise created by aircraft), COMPUTATIONAL METHODS, and SUPERCOMPUTING. In addition to the traditional issues and problems in computational methods, the journal also considers theoretical research acoustics papers which lead to large-scale scientific computations. The journal strives to be flexible in the type of high quality papers it publishes and their format. Equally desirable are Full papers, which should be complete and relatively self-contained original contributions with an introduction that can be understood by the broad computational acoustics community. Both rigorous and heuristic styles are acceptable. Of particular interest are papers about new areas of research in which other than strictly computational arguments may be important in establishing a basis for further developments. Tutorial review papers, covering some of the important issues in Computational Mathematical Methods, Scientific Computing, and their applications. Short notes, which present specific new results and techniques in a brief communication. The journal will occasionally publish significant contributions which are larger than the usual format for regular papers. Special issues which report results of high quality workshops in related areas and monographs of significant contributions in the Series of Computational Acoustics will also be published.
