An Energy Solution For Vibration Characteristics Of Free Thin Cylinders, Dale Elmer Leanhardt

Masters Theses

"In this report the flexural vibrations of the walls of free, thin, circular cylinders are considered. Theoretical expressions are developed for the natural frequencies by extending the approximate energy method of Arnold and Warburton to the free-free case. Furthermore, the developed expressions are shown to apply, as special cases, to the fixed-fixed and simply-supported cylinders analyzed by Arnold and Warburton. The energy solution for free-free cylinders is checked both experimentally using a 3500 pound-force, 5 to 2000 hertz, vibration exciter and numerically using the well documented SABOR IV-DYNAL finite element program. While the derived energy method accounts for any prescribed …
