Abstract

The results of a numerical study of vibration localization due to stiffener variability in a framed shell are reported. An axisymmetric finite element (FE)-infinite element model is used to obtain predictions in good general agreement with previously reported experimental results. Over the frequency band of this study, up to three times the ring frequency, two structural resonances dominate the vibratory response of the shell for high circumferential orders (n > 10). Localization is shown to be linked to the sensitivity of the local resonance frequencies of the system to specific geometrical parameters. Specifically, rib thickness variations strongly affect the first pass band, while rib spacing variations strongly affect the second pass band.
