1 Introduction
Circular discs are widely used in mechanical components like rotors, fly wheels,
clutches, brakes mounted on power transmission shafts, transducers in defense
applications and hydrophones in sensing applications. Now a days in designing
components for applications like aerospace, light vehicles and automobiles weight is the
primary concern. Composite materials which are of high stiffness to mass ratio with polar
orthotropic composites of fibre angle = 0, = 90 and rectangular orthotropiccomposites are used in many of above applications. These composite circular discs
vibrate and radiate sound when subjected to several types of loadings during their
application. They behave peculiar when subjected to thermal environment.
There is a substantial amount of literature available on buckling and modal analysis
of circular disc. Vogel and Skinner (1965) investigated natural frequencies of a uniform
annular disc; Thompson (1971) computed self and mutual radiation impedances of auniformly vibrating annular or circular piston by integration of the far-field directivity
function. Wang and Thevendran (1993) used the Raleigh-Ritz method, based on the thin
plate theory, Lee and Singh (1994) presented analytical formulations for annular disc
sound radiation using structural modes. Raveendra et al. (1998) and Vlahopoulos and
Raveendra (1998) used indirect Boundary Element Method (BEM) for structural
acoustics, von Estorff and Zaleski (2003) and Wu (2005) also used Boundary Element
Method (BEM) for prediction of structural acoustics. Qatu (2004) also conducted studies
on vibrations of laminated shells and plates. Lee and Singh (2005a, 2005b) proposed a
polynomial approximation for modal acoustic power radiation from a thin annular disc.
From the literature it is found that the studies on vibro-acoustic behaviour of
composite circular disc under thermal environment have not been attempted. This work is
an extension of our previous work without thermal effect (accepted for publication) and
here we concentrated our study on vibration and acoustic analysis of composite circular
disc subjected to harmonic point load under thermal environment i.e., by considering pre-
stress effect and thermal loading is expected from the fluid domain surrounding the
vibrating structure of temperature independent material properties.
In general vibration response of the structure is computed by Finite Element Method
(FEM) and acoustic response is computed by BEM while using FEM for acoustic
analysis infinite domain has to be meshed which demands high computation time.
Generally for computing vibro-acoustic response FEM and BEM are coupled to take
advantage of both the methods. In the present work, commercial CAE tools ANSYS is
used to compute vibration response and LMS SYSNOISE is used to compute sound
radiation from the vibrating composite circular disc.
2 Methodology used
In the present section the methodology of the approach is presented. The geometrical
characteristic of circular disc, details of FE and BE meshes for both the vibration and
acoustic analysis cases are explained.

Vibro-acoustic analysis of composite circular disc under thermal environment 37
2.1 Dimensions of circular disc used for vibro-acoustic analysis
The circular disc shown in Figure 1 used for vibro-acoustic analysis whose outer radius
R = 0.5 m, inner radius R0 = 0.25 m and thickness H= 0.01 m. The disc is fixed at both
the inner and outer radii and subjected to harmonic loading with unit amplitude at
different radial positions given in Figure 2 (0.0, 0.30, 0.0), (0.0, 0.375, 0.0) and
(0.0, 0.45, 0.0) the field points are created exactly 0.5 m above the application of
harmonic point load (0.0, 0.30, 0.50), (0.0, 0.375, 0.50) and (0.0, 0.45, 0.50) to measure
pressure level at that particular location and acceleration response is measured at point of
application of harmonic load.
Figure 1 Dimensions of circular disc
Figure 2 Circular disc subjected to harmonic loading at different radial positions and with fieldpoints in space exactly 0.5 m above the point of application of load
2.2 Finite Element Method (FEM) for vibration analysis
The mesh used in ANSYS for vibration analysis of all cases of circular disc is shown in
Figure 3 and shell181 is the assigned element type. In the applications like clutches,
brakes, fly wheels and rotors, thin plate theory is not valid hence in such cases elements
like shell181, shell91, shell93, and shell99 are to be used. These shell elements are based
on first order shear deformation theory (usually referred as Mindlin-Reissner plate
theory). So they are compatible for modelling composite structures with different fibre
orientations and different types of orthotropic by changing elemental coordinate system.
Structural damping can also be assigned, generally for composite structures damping is
more compared to structures made up of isotropic material. In current vibro-acoustic
analysis for all cases of composite circular discs it is assumed as 1%.

2.3 Different types of orthotropic properties
In ANSYS while modelling orthotropic materials elemental coordinate system is
modified to global coordinate system. For the case of rectangular orthotropic
(Figure 4(a)) fibre orientation is along Cartesian coordinates so elemental coordinate
system is aligned with global Cartesian coordinate system. For polar orthotropic = 90
(Figure 4(b)) fibre orientation is along circumferential direction so elemental coordinate
system is aligned with global cylindrical coordinate system in circumferential direction.
For polar orthotropic = 0 (Figure 4(c)) fibre orientation along radial direction so
elemental coordinate system is aligned with global cylindrical coordinate system in radial
direction.

(a) (b) (c)
Construction of rectangular orthotropic circular disc is easy among all cases due to its
simplicity; generally it is prepared by cutting rectangular composite plate. In the case of
circumferential and radial orthotropic circular disc orienting fibre along circumferential
and radial directions is a difficult task. In general orthotropic circular disc for different
boundary conditions has peculiar behaviour in strength point of view. In current study,
vibro-acoustic analysis of orthotropic circular disc is carried out for the fixed-fixed
boundary condition.

2.4 Prediction of thermal loading by conducting thermal buckling analysis
In general, instability of structures under thermal environment is considered as serious
effect because thermal load required for thermal buckling is much less than the
mechanical load required for mechanical buckling and mechanical forces induced on
structures during application are much less than the mechanical buckling load.
In ANSYS buckling analysis is conducted by two ways linear and non linear eigen-value
buckling.
For the current study, linear eigen-value buckling analysis is conducted to find
bifurcation point where structures are supposed to buckle. Initial stress stiffening effect
induced on structure due to buckling load is calculated by conducting static analysis with
pre-stress effect on. After conducting thermal buckling analysis thermal loads to be
applied on the structure is decisive as fractions of thermal buckling load so 0.0 (no
thermal effect) 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 0.95 (near to thermal buckling load) are considered asthermal loads.

2.5 Prediction of vibration response under thermal environment
When structures subjected to thermal loading then stress stiffening effect takes place
which leads to change in natural frequencies and shift of frequency response curves, this
effect is induced by conducting initial static analysis with pre-stress effect on. The block
diagram for vibro-acoustic analysis of composite circular disc under thermal environment
is given in Figure 5.

3 Boundary Element Method (BEM) for acoustic analysis
BEM involves creation of boundary element mesh along surface of the structure and field
points in interior and exterior domains. Computing frequency dependant BEM influence
matrices, specifying solvers like Direct BEM or In Direct BEM. Incorporate boundary
conditions like mentioning interior or exterior in the case of Direct BEM, free edges
where jump across surface is zero in the case of IBEM. Generally for computing acoustic
response, In Direct BEM is used because sound radiation is computed on both sides of
boundary element mesh i.e., interior and exterior domains of boundary. The boundary
element mesh is created along the surface of the structure by using finite element mesh
used for vibration analysis but in general FE meshes are highly dense and consist of
interior nodes and elements, in such cases FE mesh is converted to BE mesh by
coarsening and skinning the structural FE mesh using LMS VIRTUAL LAB
pre acoustics. But in present case the skinning operation is not required because the FEmesh does not have any interior nodes or elements, so directly the FE mesh file employed
for vibration analysis in ANSYS is employed for acoustic analysis in LMS SYSNOISE
and displacements from ANSYS are imported on BE mesh (Figure 6(a)) without any
interpolation by using .rst1 which consists of FE results like displacements, stresses and
strain. The boundary conditions of free edges are imposed for circular disc at inner and
outer periphery given in Figure 6(b). After importing displacements on BE mesh primary
variables like velocities and pressures are calculated for BE mesh and secondary results
at field points are processed.

4 Vibro-acoustic response of graphite epoxy circular disc with variousorthotropic subjected to point excitation at different radial positions
4.1 Rectangular orthotropic
The driven point admittance for composite circular disc with rectangular orthotropic is
calculated at different radial positions to predict position where point excitation has more
influence on vibration and sound radiation of structure. From Figure 7 it is observed it is
more for radial position 0.375m, also the same for acceleration response (Figure 8).

Vibro-acoustic analysis of composite circular disc under thermal environment 41
For rectangular orthotropic both radial and circumferential modes are coupled so
point excitation leads to excitation of both radial and circumferential modes. From thevibro-acoustic response of graphite-epoxy circular disc with rectangular orthotropic,
subjected to point excitation at different radial positions it is evident, point excitation at
radial position 0.375 m has more influence on vibro-acoustic behaviour also radiated
sound pressure and power level are more, from Figures 9 and 10 respectively.

are excited and radiate sound, from driven point admittance (Figure 11) point excitation
at that radial position has more influence on vibration and sound radiation of structure.Also the radiated sound power level from Figure 13 was greater for the radial position
of 0.375 m. So further study is carried out with point excitation at this radial position.

all positions of point excitation, but at the position of 0.375 m all modes of a circular
disc are excited. Driven point admittance, radiated sound pressure and power level(Figures 1618) shows point excitation at that radial position has more influence on
vibration and sound radiation of structure.

decrease in acceleration because of low operating frequency range. Radiated soundpressure level (Figure 23) at the field point 0.50 m above of point of application of load is
decreasing as thermal load increases because it is dependant on velocity, acceleration and

5.3 Radial orthotropic
Generally composites can not sustain temperatures above 250C because epoxy resins
burn at those temperatures. In current case of radial orthotropic thermal loadings on the
circular disc are restricted up to 250C, vibration response is found at 0, 100, 200 and
250C. The displacement, velocity and acceleration plots for radial orthotropic circular

vibrating structures displacements and velocities are high then sound radiated from the
vibrating structure will also be high. For the case of rectangular orthotropicdisplacements and velocities are high at first and second modes hence sound radiation is
also more among other orthotropic properties, from third mode sound radiation is more
for circumferential orthotropic because displacements are high among other orthotropic.

Under thermal environment even though displacements and velocities (Table 4) areincreasing as thermal load increases to critical buckling temperature, acceleration level
(Table 5) is decreasing in the case of rectangular orthotropic but for circumferential and
radial orthotropic it is increasing up to 0.250.50 times critical buckling temperature and
decreasing for further increase, for all cases radiated sound pressure level is decreasing
due to huge shift in frequencies.

7 Vibro-acoustic analysis of composite circular disc with variousorthotropic and different materials
Vibro-acoustic behaviour of different composite circular discs with temperature
independent material properties given in Table 6, for various orthotropic properties under
increasing thermal load up to critical thermal buckling temperature are tabulated in
Tables 712. Among all cases of orthotropic radial orthotropic has more strength and
circumferential orthotropic is having less strength, but in all cases of orthotropic as
thermal load increases shift of frequency is observed and finally reaches to zero when
thermal load is equal to critical buckling temperature i.e., zone of instability of a
structure.

8 RMS values of radiated sound pressure (dB re 20e6 Pa)for all materials
In general by root mean square value of sound pressure we can predict whether sound
radiated from structure has adverse effect on the surrounding environment. From current
study RMS value of radiated sound pressure for different thermal loads and composite
materials is made of use for better estimation of vibro-acoustic behaviour of composite
material for a range of temperatures. The RMS plot of sound pressure radiated by the
vibrating composite circular disc with various orthotropic made up of different materials;
at specified field point location up to the range of buckling temperatures of respective
material given in Figures 4143.

Figure 43 RMS value of radiated sound pressure from circular disc with radial orthotropic under
increasing thermal loads (see online version for colours)
As temperature increases the RMS value is decreasing for the composite circular disc
with rectangular and circumferential orthotropic but in the case of radial orthotropic
circular disc it increases up to 0.50 times of critical buckling temperature and then after it
decreases. Among all materials boron epoxy is having low RMS value in all cases of
orthotropic and thermal loadings.
9 Conclusions
Critical observations from vibro-acoustic response of various orthotropic properties and
materials under thermal environment for fixed-fixed boundary condition
With out thermal loading
1 Driven point admittance is more for the point of excitation at radial position 0.375 m
and also radiated sound power, among remaining radial positions. So the point
excitation at radial position 0.375 has much influence on vibro-acoustic behaviour
of circular disc.
2 Among all cases of orthotropic circular discs, circular disc with circumferential
orthotropic is having low natural frequency and radial orthotropic is having highnatural frequency from Tables 2 and 3.
3 It is evident when displacements and velocities are high then sound radiated from the
vibrating structure will also be high without thermal effect (Tables 2 and 3). For the
case of rectangular orthotropic velocities are high at first and second modes hence
sound radiation is also high among other orthotropic properties at third mode sound
radiation is more for circumferential orthotropic because displacements are high
among other orthotropic properties. Similar observations are made from other
materials also.

4 For radial orthotropic circular disc displacements at all modes are very less and
acceleration response at the point of force application is high due to high operatingfrequency range and in the case of other orthotropic circular disc displacements are
very high and acceleration response at the point of force application is low due to
low operating frequency range. Among all configurations radial orthotropic is stiffer
and similar trend is observed for other materials from Table 3.
5 Fundamental mode of circular disc with circumferential orthotropic is having low
pressure level and radial orthotropic is having high pressure level at mentioned field
point from Table 3 and similar trend is observed for other materials. In the remaining
modes circular disc with circumferential orthotropic is having high pressure level at
selected field point though there is low acceleration response from Table 3 at the
point of force application and radial orthotropic is having low pressure level at
mentioned field point though high acceleration response at the point of force
application
With thermal loading
6 Among all cases of orthotropic circumferential orthotropic is having low critical
buckling temperature and radial orthotropic is having high critical buckling
temperature from Table 1 and similar trend is observed for other materials.
Under thermal environment even though displacements and velocities are increasing
as thermal load increases to critical buckling temperature acceleration and radiated
sound pressure level are decreasing because of huge shift in frequencies.
7 The radiation efficiency from the vibrating and sound radiating circular disc with
clamped-clamped boundary conditions is more than one for all cases of orthotropic
properties under different thermal loadings i.e., radiated sound power in all cases of
circular disc is higher than vibrational energy. As thermal load increases radiation
efficiency is decreasing.
8 Directivity pattern of radius 0.375 m at 0.50 m above the circular disc for all modes
of graphite epoxy circular disc with various orthotropic under increasing thermal
load is given, more number of ripples are observed in dir for fixed-fixed
boundary conditions. Peculiar observation was made by directivity pattern
(Figure 40) for the circular disc with radial orthotropic, when thermal loading
is near to critical buckling temperature the directivity pattern got squeezed at all
modes.
9 As temperature increases the RMS value is decreasing for the composite circular disc
with rectangular and circumferential orthotropic but in the case of radial orthotropic
circular disc it increases up to 0.50 times of critical buckling temperature and thenafter it decreases. Among all materials boron epoxy is having low RMS value in all
cases of orthotropic and thermal loadings.
