“Vibration Characteristics of
Isotropic and Orthotropic (Composite) Plates with and
With-out cutouts and Stress Stiffening
effects – An FEM Investigation”
Synopsis:
Composite materials are gaining increasing
importance in the present day Engineering design and development activity[1].
This is due to their very attractive mechanical behaviour and properties. They
posses very high strength to weight ratio and stiffness to weight ratio. They
offer high thermal and wear resistance, their strengths and stiffness can be
tailor made for required applications.
A successful design and application of
composite materials in Engineering requires knowledge and their vibration
characteristics under different operating conditions. In real life application,
the composite plates invariably poses geometrical cutouts introduced for
functional purposes. These geometrical cutouts will have a strong bearing on
the vibration characteristics of the composite plates.
The objectives of the research work were:
1.
To carryout a comprehensive literature survey on
the material constitute behaviour of orthotropic composite materials, vibration
characteristics of isotropic rectangular plates with and without cutouts.
2.
To carryout a detailed parametric studies, to
investigate natural frequencies and mode shapes of rectangular plates with and
without pre-stressing effects.
3.
To investigate vibration characteristics of
rectangular composite plates with and without cutouts and having different
aspect ratio’s and edge boundary conditions using Finite element techniques.
The investigations were carried out using
the front end commercial software ANSYS
7.1 with its vibration analysis capabilities. SHELL elements were used in the
FEM formulation of the problem, the obtained solutions were compared with the
published results[4] which shows a good agreement.

“Pre-stress effects on the Vibration Characteristics
of a Connecting Rod of an IC Engine”, Proc., National conference NACAMES-2004
This paper presents the results of Finite
Element investigations conducted to study the Vibration Characteristics of a
Connecting Rod of an IC engine of a two-wheeler vehicle considering pre-stress
effects. The front-end commercial software ANSYS with its modal analysis
capabilities was used in these investigations. A parametric study was carried
out by varying the pre-stress levels in the operating speed range of the
vehicle. The natural frequencies gradually increase with increasing pre-stress
magnitudes.
