Benchmark solution ===================== The natural modes of the system are calculated after having verified those of each substructure. The mass added to the air modes is then evaluated. Breakdown into substructures -------------------------------- **First substructure: intermediate cylinder** The first substructure consists of the intermediate cylinder and four springs of :math:`{k}_{\mathrm{2 }}={10}^{7}{\mathrm{N.m}}^{-1}` stiffness. These springs are embedded at the interface with the external cylinder which constitutes the second substructure (interface type CRAIG - BAMPTON). .. image:: images/Object_6.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_6.svg: Mass of cylinder 1: :math:`{m}_{1}=2.041{10}^{6}\mathrm{kg}` Since the cylinder is rigid, its movement can be modelled by a mass-spring system with one degree of freedom: .. image:: images/Object_7.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_7.svg: At each end, the cylinder is connected to two springs in parallel: the equivalent stiffness of each is :math:`k’=2{k}_{2}` The natural frequency is then equal to: .. image:: images/Object_8.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_8.svg: , that is: .. image:: images/Object_9.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_9.svg: **Second substructure: outer cylinder** The second substructure is the external cylinder connected on the one hand to the interface by the same springs, on the other hand to a fixed frame: .. image:: images/Object_10.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_10.svg: Mass of cylinder 2: :math:`{m}_{2}=\mathrm{3,674}{10}^{6}\mathrm{kg}` Since the equivalent stiffness of an attachment of this cylinder by the system of springs in series :math:`{k}_{1}` and :math:`{k}_{2}` is equal to :math:`\mathrm{9,9}{10}^{6}{\mathrm{N.m}}^{-1}` (four attachments of the same type connect the cylinder in parallel to an installation), the natural frequency is given by: .. image:: images/Object_11.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_11.svg: , that is: .. image:: images/Object_12.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_12.svg: **N.B.**: the third cylinder (inner cylinder) was not modeled in our case because it is a fixed cylinder. It therefore constitutes a fixed wall of the fluid domain. **Air modes of the complete structure (intermediate cylinder and external cylinder)** It is a system with two degrees of freedom: .. image:: images/Object_13.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_13.svg: The natural frequencies of this system are given by the exact formula [:ref:`bib2 `]: .. image:: images/Object_14.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_14.svg: , either :math:`{f}_{1}=0.497\mathrm{Hz}` and :math:`{f}_{2}=5.263\mathrm{Hz}`. The two eigenmodes admit, for numerical value: .. image:: images/Object_16.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_16.svg: . Calculating the added mass matrix ------------------------------------- **Fluid potentials** Repeating [:ref:`bib1 `], we establish that: .. image:: images/Object_17.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_17.svg: The shape of the mass matrix added, in this configuration, is: .. image:: images/Object_18.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_18.svg: With: .. image:: images/Object_19.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_19.svg: The inertial coupling coefficient .. image:: images/Object_20.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_20.svg: is considered to be negligible against the self-mass added coefficients .. image:: images/Object_21.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_21.svg: and .. image:: images/Object_22.svg :width: 238 :height: 139 .. _RefImage_Object_22.svg: . As a first approximation, the natural frequencies of the system depend only on these last two coefficients. Benchmark results ---------------------- Analytical result.
