Nonlinear Vibration Response Analysis and Experimental Verification of Thin-walled Structures to Thermal-acoustic Excitations

Abstract

Abstract. For the nonlinear vibration response problems of aerospace thin-walled structures to thermalacoustic excitation, the theory of structural-acoustic coupling and the coupled FEM/BEM method were used to analyze dynamic response characteristics of super-alloy thin-walled rectangular plates with four edges clamped. Based on different loading ways: diffusion field, progressive wave 0°/ 45°/ 90°, the theories of buckling and snap-through were employed to study the stress/strain response of structures which were subjected to the different thermal-acoustic loading combinations. The majority of the analyses have dealt with the influence of acoustic loading ways and thermal loadings on structure stress/strain responses, the interaction mechanism of phenomenon of buckling and snap-through on stress/strain responses. Meanwhile, the experimental verifications of nature frequencies and strain have been done, respectively. The analysis results will provide a reference to determine a reasonable fatigue life prediction model.

Acoustic and Vibration Response and Fatigue Life Analysis of Thin-Walled Connection Structures under Heat Flow Conditions

“…Hence, further research and validation were needed. Sha et al [26][27][28][29] extensively researched the response and fatigue failure occurring in aeronautical thin-walled structures under high temperatures and intense noise excitations. They carried out numerical simulations and experimental validations of models (e.g., single thin-walled plates) under various coupled loads.…”
