Abstract

Engineering Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Mechanics Science & Technology Technology
The aim of this paper is to extract the dispersion parameters, i.e. phase velocity, energy velocity and attenuation, of orthotropic thin-walled waveguides with generic cross-section. To this end, a semi analytical finite element (SAFE) formulation is presented, which is based on the Reissner-Mindlin theory of curved shells. Complex axial wavenumbers and mode shapes of guided wave modes are extracted from a second order polynomial eigenvalue problem, while the energy velocity is post-processed using the computed eigensolutions and SAFE operators. Different numerical examples are proposed, for which the obtained results are in very good agreement with those computed using other well-stated SAFE formulations. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.
