[0056] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0057] (1) This invention divides the cracked variable thickness plate structure into different regions, including cracked regions and crack-free regions. The cracked region should be as small as possible while enclosing the crack. The vibration of the crack-free region is described based on analytical waves, and the vibration of the cracked region is described using the finite element method. This avoids the dilemma that the cracked region cannot be described by analytical waves and that the finite element discretization calculation for the entire plate structure is too high.
[0058] (2) In this invention, the crack-free region is discretized into multiple segments along the thickness variation direction, and each segment is approximately a plate of uniform thickness, so that the analytical elastic wave of each segment can be easily obtained.
[0059] (3) This invention utilizes the displacement continuity and internal force balance conditions at the coupling points of each segment to establish the dynamic equilibrium equation of the variable thickness plate structure in wave space. Compared with the finite element modeling and analysis of the whole plate, the dynamic equilibrium equation in wave space has very few degrees of freedom, which can significantly reduce the amount of calculation and reduce the calculation cost.
[0060] (4) Solving this equation yields the amplitude of each order of elastic wave, and thus the vibration response of each segment in a cracked variable thickness plate structure. Since it is based on analytical wave description, parametric analysis can be performed more conveniently. Therefore, based on the calculation method of this invention, the influence of crack location and length on structural vibration characteristics can be studied efficiently.
