Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Structural dynamics and vibration-related problems are among the critical and most researched issues in aerospace, civil and mechanical engineering. Analytical modeling method based on theories, such as but not limited to the Lagrangian approach or Hamilton's principle, is widely used to understand the principal phenomenon and characteristics of dynamic systems, with high calculating efficiency and clear physical meaning. This Special Issue aims to foster the discussion on the latest development and application of analytical modeling of dynamic systems. The research target could be different mechanical, civil or other structures. Besides, high-performance mechanical metamaterials with special inner microstructures have been developed for vibration reduction. The wave propagation and dynamic behavior of these metamaterials are also a focus of this Special Issue

The inter-shaft graphite seal is a common structure in the dual-rotor system, and may generate nonlinear lateral excitation when there is large relative angular motion at the seal position. This paper represents the first attempt to study the nonlinear behaviors of a dual-rotor system with inter-shaft graphite seal excitations. First, an excitation model of the inter-shaft graphite seal is proposed by the analytical method. This model is then introduced into the beam finite element model of a dual rotor system, and the dynamic equations of the whole system are finally obtained. The vibration responses under the effect of the inter-shaft seal are clarified by analyzing 3D waterfall plots, rotor orbits, and time and frequency domain waveforms. The results show that the inter-shaft seal can lead to vibration coupling between HP and LP rotors. The axial spring stiffness and contact end face friction coefficient of the graphite seal have a significant effect on rotor vibration. When those two parameters are small, only coupling vibration phenomena can be observed, i.e., the rotation frequency of one rotor can be observed in another rotor vibration. With the increase in axial spring stiffness or contact end face friction coefficient, multiple modes of LP and HP rotors are excited, which dominates the vibration behaviors of the dual rotor system.

Extensive prior research has delved into the localization of elastic wave energy through defect modes within phononic crystals (PnCs). The amalgamation of defective PnCs with piezoelectric materials has opened new avenues for conceptual innovations catering to energy harvesters, wave filters, and ultrasonic receivers. A recent departure from this conventional paradigm involves designing an ultrasonic actuator that excites elastic waves. However, previous efforts have mostly focused on single-defect scenarios for bending-wave excitation. To push the boundaries, this research takes a step forward by extending PnC design to include double piezoelectric defects. This advancement allows ultrasonic actuators to effectively operate across multiple frequencies. An analytical model originally developed for a single-defect situation via Euler–Bernoulli beam theory is adapted to fit within the framework of a double-defect set-up, predicting wave-excitation performance. Furthermore, a comprehensive study is executed to analyze how changes in input voltage configurations impact the output responses. The ultimate goal is to create ultrasonic transducers that could have practical applications in nondestructive testing for monitoring structural health and in ultrasonic imaging for medical purposes.
