Extended Wittrick–Williams algorithm for eigenvalue solution of stochastic dynamic stiffness method [PDF]

open access: yesMechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 2022
This paper proposes an efficient and reliable eigenvalue solution technique for analytical stochastic dynamic stiffness (SDS) formulations of beam built-up structures with parametric uncertainties. The SDS formulations are developed based on frequency-dependent shape functions in conjunction with both random-variable and random-field structural ...

Exact wave propagation analysis of lattice structures based on the dynamic stiffness method and the Wittrick–Williams algorithm [PDF]

open access: yesMechanical Systems and Signal Processing, 2022
This paper proposes two significant developments of the Wittrick–Williams (W–W) algorithm for an exact wave propagation analysis of lattice structures based on analytical dynamic stiffness (DS) model for each unit cell of the structures. Based on Bloch's theorem, the combination of both the DS and the W–W algorithm makes the wave propagation analysis ...

Application of the Wittrick—Williams algorithm to the Sturm—Liouville problem on homogeneous trees: a structural mechanics analogy

open access: yesProceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2004
Summary: The Wittrick-Williams (WW) algorithm was developed over 30 years ago and has been applied with increasing sophistication to problems in structural mechanics ever since. Much wider applications, to any field requiring eigenvalues of selfadjoint systems of differential equations, are possible based on a theorem due to Balakrishnan that underpins

Calculation of natural frequencies and vibration modes of variable thickness cylindrical shells using the Wittrick–Williams algorithm

open access: yesComputers and Structures, 2012
Dynamic stiffness equations are formulated for variable thickness cylindrical shells, under the assumptions of Donnell, Timoshenko and Flugge theories. Transcendental dynamic stiffness matrices are formed by solving numerically the governing eighth order differential equations using the boundary-value solver COLSYS.

Lower Bound Eigenvalues of a Timoshenko-Ehrenfest Vibrating Beam Using the Wittrick-Williams Algorithm

open access: yesVolume 5: Dynamics, Vibration, and Control
Abstract The Wittrick-Williams algorithm excels in solving transcendental eigenvalue problems arising from the exact solutions of governing differential equations. Initially developed for structural mechanics, where eigenvalues are non-negative, the algorithm’s versatility extends beyond. The authors demonstrate that negative eigenvalues,

Comparison of natural frequencies of isotropic plate using DSM with Wittrick-Williams algorithm [PDF]

open access: yesVibroengineering Procedia, 2018
In this paper, comparison of natural undamped frequencies of isotropic plates are investigated by using the dynamics stiffness element for isotropic plates. The DS Matrix for isotropic has been formulated by the application of classical plate theory. The generalized DS matrix has to solve by using Wittrick-Williams algorithm.
