Abstract
A formulation was developed in the energy finite-element analysis (EFEA) for modeling the vibration of cylindrical structures with periodic axial and circumferential stiffeners. Appropriate power transfer coefficients are computed from the values of the propagation constants. The joint matrices of the EFEA formulation are computed based on the power transfer coefficients derived from periodic structure theory. EFEA analyses are performed for the NASA aluminum test-bed cylinder and simulations are compared to experiments. Excitation is applied on the test-bed cylinder by four shakers and the vibration is measured at 40 bays formed by axial and circumferential stiffeners. The EFEA results are compared successfully to test data between the 1/3 octave bands of 315 and 6300 Hz. [Work sponsored by NASA Langley Structural Acoustics Branch.]
