What is prestressed modal analysis and why?
• Modal analysis of a prestressed structure.
• Some structures show different dynamic behavior depending on
their stress state.
– A guitar string or a drum head, for example, will vibrate at higher
frequencies as its tension is increased.
– When a turbine blade spins, its natural frequencies tend to be higher
because of the prestress caused by centrifugal forces.
• To properly design such structures, both stress-free and
prestressed modal analyses may be required.
DYNAMICS 7.0
Three main steps:
• Build the model
• Prestress the model with a static analysis
• Do the modal analysis with prestress
Build the Model:
• Same considerations as a normal modal analysis.
• Remember to specify density with proper units.

• In this workshop, you will Pre-stress the disc shown below and then
determine its natural frequencies. If time permits, determine the
natural frequencies and mode shapes of the disc without any Pre-
stress and compare the results.
• See your Dynamics Workshop supplement for details
(Pre-stressed Modal Analysis Workshop - Pre-Stressed Disc, Page W-
61.).

What is modal cyclic symmetry?
• A modal analysis that takes advantage of cyclic symmetry.
• You can model only one sector, then view mode shapes of the
entire structure!
– Saves modeling time - no need to model all 360 degrees.
– Saves computer time and disk space - fewer elements and DOF.
Applications
• Any structure that is cyclically symmetric: turbines, impellers,
rotors, fans, etc.
DYNAMICS 7.0
Six main steps:
• Model the basic sector
• Identify cyclic symmetry planes
– Automatic via CYCLIC command
– Manually by creating node components
• Apply BC’s
• Specify modal analysis type and options
• Specify cyclic solution options via CYCOPT command and solve
using ANSYS SOLVE command
• Review results by expanding to 360 degrees via /CYCEXPAND
DYNAMICS 7.0
• Basic sector
– Must be in a global or user-
defined cylindrical system: X
radial, Y along θ , Z axial.
– Cyclic symmetry planes (or
edges):
• Node patterns can be
“matched” or “unmatched”,
but “matched” may provide
more accurate solution.
• Can be curved.
– The sector angle modeled, θ ,
can be any number as long as
the total number of sectors
(360/θ ) is an integer.

• Apply BC’s:
– Mainly displacement constraints.
– Apply on nodes only, not on solid
model entities (since the second
sector contains only nodes and
elements).
– Select nodes by location, not by
numbers.
– No need to specify symmetry BC
(unless you are doing a static
analysis for prestress).

Nodal diameter
• A diametric line of zero displacement during vibration for a
circular membrane (like a COSINE wave).
• Provides relationship to compute mode shape of entire model
from the basic sector results.
• One nodal diameter typically causes one “wave” around the
circumference , two nodal diameters cause two waves, and so on.
• Each nodal diameter has multiple modes of vibration.

Why is the harmonic index range important?
• For each harmonic index ANSYS will extract a specified number of
modes.
• The user controls the range of harmonic indices for each of which
modes are extracted.
• Minimum harmonic index number is 0 ( “breathing mode”).
• Maximum harmonic index value is (NSECTOR/2) for even number
of sectors or ( NSECTOR-1)/2 for odd number number of sectors.
• Usually, the first few modes are extracted for the whole range of
harmonic indices to cover all the low frequency modes.
DYNAMICS 7.0
• The relationship between the harmonic index k and nodal
diameter d for a model consisting of N sectors is:
d = m⋅ N ± k
where m = 0,1, 2, 3,..., ∞
The following table shows how the harmonic index, nodal diameter
and number of sectors relate to one another:

What is large deflection modal analysis?
• Modal analysis of a structure that has undergone significant
geometry change due to loads.
• Some applications include
– When pressure or spin load is applied to a relatively thin turbine blade,
it tends to untwist the airfoil affecting natural frequency.
– Undersea pipeline installations where contact with seabed causes
change in frequencies.
– Membranes under pressure load.
DYNAMICS 7.0
What is the difference between large deflection modal analysis and
prestressed modal analysis?
• Prestressed modal assumes that stresses will affect the natural
frequencies but deflections are small; that is the geometry has not
changed.
• Large deflection modal assumes that the geometry is changing
significantly due to deformation and that this updated geometry
(in addition to the stress) will change the natural frequencies and
mode shapes.
DYNAMICS 7.0
Five main steps:
• Build the model
• Run static analysis with large deflection effects turned on
• Update geometry to the deformed geometry
• Perform modal analysis using partial solve procedures
• Review results
Build the Model:
• Same considerations as a normal modal analysis.
• Remember to specify density with proper units.

• Large deflection modal analysis
– The mode shapes are based on deformed geometry.
– You should remember that nonlinearities are ignored and contact
elements retain their initial status at the start of the modal analysis.
– For instance , only modes where the beams are in contact with each
other will be extracted in the example used in this chapter.
– With contact elements sliding motion may be allowed depending on
the value of coefficient of friction used.
– Use “Rough Contact” (keyopt(12)=1) to prevent sliding motion.
