This problem has been recognized for quite some time, and a synopsis of the various remedial procedures proposed in the literature is presented. Of these, the dual-control or force-limited vibration test has recently emerged as a viable solution for ameliorating overtest conditions on a wide variety of hardware. The underlying theoretical basis of the dual-control technique is derived using Thevenin's and Norton's theorems for equivalent mechanical systems. Practical implementation considerations in selecting the appropriate control variables are also discussed.

To control the vibration and reject disturbances, structural excitation is produced by actuators according to a control law. Of primary importance is the ability to actuate all types of vibration observed (bending, twisting, in-plane, etc.), since observed modes that cannot be actuated can lead to instability. In this paper, possible ways to actuate both bending and twisting are discussed, including structural coupling through the use of orthotropic materials, orthotropic actuators, external masses or stores attached to the structure, and directionally attached piezoelectrics. The importance of having sensors with suitable material symmetry is reviewed. Examples are given on how to excite plate bending and twisting as well as on how to suppress vibration in a beam with structural and/or mass coupling that links bending and twisting.","PeriodicalId":405331,"journal":{"name":"The Shock and Vibration Digest","volume":"14 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125912651","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These methods were integrated into the computer program BLAST.F to generate air blast pressure profiles by one of two methods, that of the Army's Explosions in Air manual and a method outlined by Kingery and Bulmash in their work. These methods were compared after the creation of the program and can conservatively model the effects of spherical air blast and hemispherical surface burst. The code BLAST.F was used in conjunction with a commercial finite element code (NASTRAN) in a demonstration of method on a 30 by 30-inch aluminum 2519 quarter plate of fixed boundary conditions in hemispherical ground burst and showed good convergence with 256 elements for deflection and good agreement in equivalent stresses of a point near the blast between the 256 and 1024 element examples. Application of blasts to a hypothetical wing composed of aluminum 7075-T6 was also conducted showing good versatility of method for using this program with other finite element models.","PeriodicalId":405331,"journal":{"name":"The Shock and Vibration Digest","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122088883","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Following the Levy approach, that is, two parallel edges being simply supported, the fourth order differential equation with variable coefficients governing the motion of such plates has been solved numerically by using the Chebyshev polynomials for three different combinations of clamped, simply supported, and free boundary conditions at the other two edges. The effect of the elastic foundation together with the orthotropy, aspect ratio, and thickness variation on the natural frequencies of vibration is illustrated for the first three modes of vibration. Mode shapes have been presented for two different values of the taper parameter, keeping other plate parameters fixed, for all three boundary conditions. A comparison of the results with those available in literature has been presented.","PeriodicalId":405331,"journal":{"name":"The Shock and Vibration Digest","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2001-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127208600","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
