Nonlinear vibration of porous truncated conical shell under unified boundary condition and mechanical load

Abstract

The aim of this article is to research nonlinear vibration responses of a metal porous truncated conical shell undergoing mechanical harmonic loads in thickness direction. The artificial spring technique is employed to unify boundary condition which can arrive at arbitrary classical boundary condition in real-word by changing the stiffness of springs. Utilizing Hamilton's principle, theoretical formulations of the conical shell are developed in view of FSDT and von-Kármán geometric relation. Afterwards, by employing generalized differential quadrature method (GDQM), the governing equation of nonlinear vibration in the form of partial differential equation is truncated and discretized into an ordinary differential equation which is a high-dimensional nonlinear dynamic system described in physical space rather than the mode space. On this basis, the analysis of effect of exciting frequency on the amplitude is carried out for three different distributing types of porous truncated conical shells by numerical integration. The frequency-amplitude responses of the system are depicted utilizing the sweeping frequency. The bifurcation diagrams, time series and phase diagrams are utilized to analyze the nonlinear dynamics of the porous truncated conical shell under unified boundary condition. It is found that the multiple solutions high-incidence area is near the 1st primary resonance, and vibration amplitude is dominated by the 1st order primary resonance and the 3rd one. The hardening-spring nature decreases for Type3, Type2 and Type1 successively.
