Item Buckling and Free Vibration Characteristics of a Uniformly Heated Isotropic Cylindrical Panel(Elsevier Ltd, 2016) Bhagat, V.; Jeyaraj, P.; Murigendrappa, S.M.In this paper buckling and free vibration characteristics of an isotropic cylindrical panel subjected to uniform temperature rise has been investigated using finite element method. The procedure involves the determination of critical buckling temperature, which is followed by modal analysis considering pre-stress due to the thermal field in the cylindrical panel. Detailed studies are carried out to analyze the influence of curvature ratio, thickness ratio and aspect ratio on the critical buckling temperature and free vibration behavior of an isotropic cylindrical panel. It has been found that as the curvature ratio and the thickness ratio increases the thermal buckling strength of the cylindrical panel decreases. It has also been found that free vibration frequencies reduce with an increase in temperature and the reduction is more significant for the lowest frequency mode. It is observed that free vibration mode shapes at ambient temperature changes with an increase in temperature. © 2016 The Authors.Item Buckling and Free Vibration Behavior of a Temperature Dependent FG-CNTRC Cylindrical Panel under Thermal Load(Elsevier Ltd, 2018) Bhagat, V.; Jeyaraj, P.; Murigendrappa, S.M.Present study deals with the buckling and free vibration behavior of functionally graded carbon-nanotubes reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) cylindrical panel exposed to uniform thermal load. Stresses setup due to thermal load and temperature dependent properties influences the buckling and free vibration behavior of the heated structures. Approach employed in the present study consists of static analysis to compute thermal stresses, eigen-value buckling analysis to compute critical buckling temperature and finally modal analysis, taking thermal stresses into account. Influence of different CNTs grading pattern, CNTs volume fraction, geometric parameters, boundary constraints and temperature dependent properties on the buckling strength are investigated. It is observed that hybrid CNTs distribution pattern gives comparatively higher buckling strength and free vibration frequencies. Investigation on free vibration characteristics of the FG-CNTRC panel at elevated temperature signifies that the decline in free vibration frequencies is very drastic at a temperature close to buckling temperature along with temperature dependent properties. c 2017 Elsevier Ltd.

A finite element model of the plates has been created using ANSYS software. The statistical energy parameters have been computed using the velocity responses obtained from a harmonic forced excitation analysis. Experiments have been carried out for two different cases of adhesive bonded joints and the results have been compared with the apparent coupling factors and velocity responses obtained from finite element analysis. The results obtained from the studies signify the importance of modeling of adhesive bonded joints in computation of the apparent coupling factors and its further use in computation of energies and velocity responses using statistical energy analysis like approach. © 2018 Author(s).Item A comparison of different methods for determination of coupling factor and velocity response of coupled plates(2013) Pankaj, A.C.; Sastry, S.; Murigendrappa, S.M.Coupling loss factors (CLF) and velocity responses has been computed for two plates joined in a 'L' junction configuration using Statistical Energy Analysis. The analyses have been carried out to study the effects of internal loss/damping factor on the coupling factors. The effects of plate widths on the coupling factors and velocity responses at high frequencies has also been studied. The statistical energy parameters have been computed using analytical wave approach, finite element method and Free-SEA software. The studies have revealed that the coupling factor computed by the wave approach is independent of the internal loss factor as compared to the values computed using finite element method, wherein CLF increases linearly as the internal loss factor varies from a zero value, followed by a transition region and converges to the values obtained by the analytical wave approach and remains insensitive to changes at higher values of damping. The results obtained from the studies signify the effects of internal loss/damping factor and plate widths on proper selection and usage of the above mentioned methods for the estimation of coupling factors and velocity responses using statistical energy approach. © Vibroengineering.Item Buckling and vibration behavior of a non-uniformly heated isotropic cylindrical panel(Techno-Press, 2016) Bhagat, V.S.; Jeyaraj, P.; Murigendrappa, S.M.This study attempts to address the buckling and free vibration characteristics of an isotropic cylindrical panel subjected to non-uniform temperature rise using numerical approach. Finite element analysis has been used in the present study. The approach involves three parts, in the first part non-uniform temperature field is obtained using heat transfer analysis, in the second part, the stress field is computed under the thermal load using static condition and, the last part, the buckling and pre-stressed modal analysis are carried out to compute critical buckling temperature as well as natural frequencies and associated mode shapes. In the present study, the effect of non-uniform temperature field, heat sink temperatures and in-plane boundary constraints are considered. The relation between buckling temperature under uniform and non-uniform temperature fields has been established. Results revealed that decrease (Case (ii)) type temperature variation field influences the fundamental buckling mode shape significantly. Further, it is observed that natural frequencies under free vibration state, decreases as temperature increases. However, the reduction is significantly higher for the lowest natural frequency. It is also found that, with an increase in temperature, nodal and anti-nodal positions of free vibration mode shapes is shifting towards the location where the intensity of the heat source is high and structural stiffness is low. © © 2016 Techno-Press, Ltd.Item Buckling of non-uniformly heated isotropic beam: Experimental and theoretical investigations(Elsevier Ltd, 2016) George, N.; Jeyaraj, P.; Murigendrappa, S.M.Influence of non-uniform heating on critical buckling temperature of an aluminium beam has been investigated experimentally with the help of a novel experimental set-up developed in-house. Non-linear finite element analysis, considering the initial geometric imperfection, has been carried out to compare the experimentally obtained typical load-deflection curve. The linear critical buckling temperature predicted numerically are validated with analytical solutions. Experimental results revealed that critical buckling temperature of the non-uniformly heated beam greatly differs from the uniformly heated beam. It is also observed that the location of heat source and resulting non-uniform temperature variation influences the critical buckling temperature significantly. © 2016 Elsevier LtdItem Buckling and dynamic characteristics of a laminated cylindrical panel under non-uniform thermal load(Techno Press technop2@chollian.net, 2016) Bhagat, V.; Jeyaraj, J.; Murigendrappa, S.M.Buckling and free vibration behavior of a laminated cylindrical panel exposed to non-uniform thermal load is addressed in the present study. The approach comprises of three portions, in the first portion, heat transfer analysis is carried out to compute the non-uniform temperature fields, whereas second portion consists of static analysis wherein stress fields due to thermal load is obtained, and the last portion consists of buckling and prestressed modal analyzes to capture the critical buckling temperature as well as first five natural frequencies and associated mode shapes. Finite element is used to perform the numerical investigation. The detailed parametric study is carried out to analyze the effect of nature of temperature variation across the panel, laminate sequence and structural boundary constraints on the buckling and free vibration behavior. The relation between the buckling temperature of the panel under uniform temperature field and non-uniform temperature field is established using magnification factor. Among four cases considered in this study for position of heat sources, highest magnification factor is observed at the forefront curved edge of the panel where heat source is placed. It is also observed that thermal buckling strength and buckling mode shapes are highly sensitive to nature of temperature field and the effect is significant for the above-mentioned temperature field. Furthermore, it is also observed that the panel with antisymmetric laminate has better buckling strength. Free vibration frequencies and the associated mode shapes are significantly influenced by the non-uniform temperature variations. © 2016 Techno-Press, Ltd.Item Buckling and free vibration of nonuniformly heated functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced polymer composite plate(World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte Ltd wspc@wspc.com.sg, 2017) George, N.; Jeyaraj, P.; Murigendrappa, S.M.Buckling and free vibration behavior of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced polymer composite plate subjected to nonuniform temperature fields have been investigated using finite element approach. The effective material constants of the plate are obtained using the extended rule of mixture along with efficiency parameters of the carbon nanotube (to include geometry-dependent material properties). Influence of boundary conditions, aspect ratio, functional grading of the carbon nanotube, nonuniform thermal loading on thermal buckling and free vibration behavior of the heated plate are analyzed. It is observed that temperature fields and functional grading are influenced on the critical buckling temperature of the plates. Further, nature of functional grading showed significant change in buckling mode shapes irrespective of the boundary conditions. The first few natural frequencies of the plate under thermal load decreases as the temperature increases and they are influenced significantly by the nature of temperature field. Variations in free vibration mode shapes of the square plates found with not significant change as temperature increases. However, free vibration modes of the rectangular plates are sensitive to the nature of temperature field whenever there is a free edge associated with the boundary condition. Influence of functional grading on the free vibration mode shapes is not significant in contrast with the free vibration natural frequencies. The magnitude of free vibration natural frequencies of functional grade-X type carbon nanotube reinforcement showed higher in comparison with other two types of reinforcements considered here. © 2017 World Scientific Publishing Company.Item Vibro-acoustic behavior of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced polymer nanocomposite plates(SAGE Publications Ltd info@sagepub.co.uk, 2018) George, N.; Jeyaraj, P.; Murigendrappa, S.M.; Mailan Chinnapandi, M.C.This paper presents the numerical investigation results carried out on vibro-acoustic behavior of functionally graded carbon nanotube reinforced polymer nanocomposite plate using combined finite element method and Rayleigh integral. Parameter studies are carried out to analyze the in?uence of nature of functional grading, loading of carbon nanotube, and structural boundary conditions on free and forced vibration and sound radiation characteristics in detail. It is found that natural frequencies are significantly in?uenced by the nature of functional grading while the mode shapes are insensitive. The resonant amplitude of vibration and acoustic response are significantly in?uenced with the nature of different functional grading. This re?ects in the bandwise calculation of sound power also which recommends the carbon nanotube functional grading with X distribution along the thickness direction for lower frequency level. Similar variation in vibro-acoustic response has been observed with increase in the carbon nanotube loading also. © 2016, IMechE 2016.
