FREE-VIBRATION ANALYSIS OF LAMINATED COMPOSITE TRUNCATED CIRCULAR CONICAL SHELLS

1990-07-01
An analysis is presented for the free vibration characteristics of isotropic and laminated composite truncated circular conical shells including transverse shear deformation. All components of translatory and rotatory inertia are included. The applicability of linear shell theory due to Reissner is assumed, and governing equations are solved for the natural frequencies and mode shapes by using a combination of modal iteration and transfer matrix approach for different boundary conditions. Natural frequencies are compared with those predicted by the classical shell theory only for the lowest meridional mode of vibration corresponding to various circumferential wave numbers. Results indicate that the natural frequencies found by the improved shell theory equations may differ more than 50%, even for the lowest meridional mode, from the frequencies found by the classical shell theory equations depending on the boundary conditions, length, thickness, circumferential wave number, and lamination arrangement.

Near-surface topology and flow structure on a delta wing
Yavuz, Mehmet Metin; Rockwell, D (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2004-02-01)
The streamlines, and the corresponding patterns of velocity and vorticity, are characterized on a plane immediately adjacent to the surface of a delta wing using a laser-based technique of high-image-density particle image velocimetry. This technique provides the sequence of instantaneous states, as well as the corresponding time-averaged state, of the near-surface streamline topology and the associated critical points. These topological features are interpreted in terms of patterns of averaged and unsteady...

Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 1998-07-01)
Subsonic flowfields over a close-coupled, delta canard-wing-body configuration at angles of attack of 20, 24,2, and 30 deg are computed using the OVERFLOW Navier-Stokes solver Computed flowfields are presented in terms of particle traces, surface streamlines, and leeward-side surface pressure distributions for the canard-on and -off configurations. The interaction between the canard and the wing vortices, wing vortex breakdown, and the influence of the canard on vortex breakdown are identified, The comparis...
NUMERICAL-SIMULATION OF 3-DIMENSIONAL SUPERSONIC FREE SHEAR LAYERS
Tuncer, İsmail Hakkı (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 1992-04-01)
The temporal stability and growth characteristics of three-dimensional supersonic shear layers are numerically investigated. An explicit time-marching scheme that is second-order accurate in time and fourth-order accurate in space is used to study this problem. The shear layer is excited by instability waves computed from a linear stability analysis and random initial disturbances. At low convective Mach numbers, organized vortical structures develop both for the random disturbance and the modal disturba...
Free vibrations of bonded single lap joints in composite, shallow cylindrical shell panels
Yuceoglu, U; Ozerciyes, V (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2005-12-01)
The problem of free vibrations of bonded single lap joints in composite, shallow circular cylindrical shells or shell panels is investigated. The shallow circular cylindrical shell adherends are considered to be made of dissimilar, orthotropic materials adhesively bonded by an in-between, very thin, yet flexible adhesive layer. In the theoretical formulation, a first-order shear deformation shell theory is employed. The complete set of shallow shell equations, in combination with the adhesive-layer equation...
Nonlinear flutter calculations using finite elements in a direct Eulerian-Lagrangian formulation
Seber, Guclu; Bendiksen, Oddvar O. (American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), 2008-06-01)
A fully nonlinear aeroelastic formulation of the direct Eulerian-Lagrangian computational scheme is presented in which both structural and aerodynamic nonlinearities are treated without approximations. The method is direct in the sense that the calculations are done at the finite element level, both in the fluid and structural domains, and the fluid-structure system is time-marched as a single dynamic system using a multistage Runge-Kutta scheme. The exact nonlinear boundary condition at the fluid-structure...
