Study on the Fundamental Frequency and Dynamic Mode of Traveling Wave Vibration of Rotating PJCS

The vibrations of rotating joined conical–conical shells with classical supported conditions have been studied extensively. As a matter of fact, in some cases, these classical boundary conditions cannot exactly model actual situations. Moreover, theoretical frameworks on them are still limited. This research aims to investigate the fundamental frequencies and dynamic mode shapes of the traveling wave of the rotating porous metal material joined conical–conical thin shells (PJCS) with elastic supports. By utilizing artificial spring technology, arbitrary elastic supported boundary conditions and classical boundary conditions are achieved efficiently. A new dynamic model has been formulated with the help of the first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and Hamilton’s principle. By employing the generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) method along with stress boundary conditions and generalized eigenvalues, various factors such as porosity, semi-vertex angles and stiffness are analyzed for their impact on the fundamental frequencies of forward wave (FW), backward wave (BW) and mode shapes. The presented results are validated through the convergence and comparison studies from literatures. The interesting and novel results indicate that the in-plane displacement constraints have the most significant impact on the critical speed, while the lateral displacement constraint has the least effect. The vibrations are more easily excited for the part with a larger half vertex angle. Rotating PJCS with Type 1 has the biggest critical rotating speed.
