Abstract
The methods of arranging frame spacing are explored for reducing the vibration of a cylindrical shell. According to the principle that an aperiodic structures will produce irregular reflections on structural waves, resulting in structural vibration attenuation, two methods of arranging frame spacing are adopted: periodic frame spacing and random frame spacing. Using the two methods, the frames of cylindrical shell models are arranged, and then, using the finite element method (FEM), the vibration response of the cylindrical shells is calculated and compared. It can be found that, for the finite-length cylindrical shells, the aperiodic arrangement of the frame spacing can decrease the vibration level of the cylindrical shells in some specific high-frequency band. For example, for the cylindrical shells with a diameter of 7.6 m and a length of 8.4 m, the frame-spacing arrangement is random, and the vibration level is reduced in about 350-600 Hz, with a maximum reduction of up to 9 dB.
