Coupled free vibration analysis of functionally graded shaft-disk system by differential quadrature finite element method.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate coupling vibration characteristics of the flexible functionally graded material (FGM) shaft-disk coupling system with variable thickness disk. The mathematical model of the shaft-disk system is based on the first-order shear deformation theory, combined with the Voigt model and the four-parameter power-law distribution. The energy expression is discretized by the differential quadrature finite element method, and furthermore the differential equation of the shaft-disk system is derived. In order to verify the convergence and calculation accuracy of the current model, a series of numerical examples are introduced. In addition, the influence of geometrical and material parameters on vibration results is discussed, while the boundary conditions and the cross-sectional shape of the disk are considered. It can be seen that the variation of the FGM parameters will affect the vibration characteristics within a certain range, while the frequency parameter with different disk cross-sectional shapes is different in sensitivity to parameter changes. The parametric analysis can provide reference for the determination of structure and material parameters. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
