An improved Fourier expansion-based differential quadrature (DQ) algorithm is proposed to study the free vibration behavior oftruncated conical shells with different boundary conditionsTheoriginal function is expressed as the Fourier cosine series combinedwith close-form auxiliary functions Those auxiliary functions are introduced to ensure and accelerate the convergence of seriesexpansion The grid points are uniformly distributed along the space The weighting coefficients in the DQ method are easilyobtained by the inverse of the coefficient matrixThe derivatives in both the governing equations and the boundaries are discretizedby the DQ method Natural frequencies and modal shapes can be easily obtained by solving the numerical eigenvalue equationsThe accuracy and stability of this proposed method are validated against the results in the literature and a very good agreement isobserved The centrosymmetric properties of these newly proposed weighting coefficients are also validated Studies on the effectsof semivertex angle and the ratio of length to radius are reported
1 Introduction
Conical shells are widely used in various engineering fieldssuch as aerospace and ship industries The development ofaccurate shell theories has been the subject of significantresearch interest for many years and a large number of shelltheories based on different approximations and assumptionshave been proposed However more work is focused onthe vibration of cylindrical shells compared with the conicalshell Since the conical coordinate system is function of themeridional direction the equations of motion for conicalshells consist of a set of partial differential equations withvariable coefficients Current methods for the free vibrationanalysis of thin conical shells can be classified as to analyticalmethods and numerical methods Saunders et al [1] Garnetand Kempner [2] Siu [3] and Lim and Liew [4] have studiedthe free vibration of uniform conical shells by Rayleigh-RitzmethodUeda [5] analyzed the same problems using the finiteelement method Irie et al [6] studied a conical shell withvariable thickness by the transfer matrix method The DQmethod was employed to analyze the free vibration of a uni-form conical shell [7] Jin et al [8] studied the free and forcedvibration of conical shell using the improved Fourier series
method by considering the general boundary conditionsThekernel particle (k-p) functions were employed in hybridizedform with harmonic functions to study the vibration of theconical shell based on Ritz method [9]
Besides the studies of the isotropic conical shells lam-inated and functional graded conical shells have also beenfully studied by various methods [10ndash16] The differentialquadrature (DQ)methodwas adopted to solve the differentialgoverning equations of the conical shell in those researches[10ndash13] For the vibration of the rotating conical shell inwhich the centrifuge force should be taken into consider-ation the DQ method was also extensively used to studythose problems [10 17] The reason that the DQ methodis widely adopted to study the vibration behavior of theconical shell is the convenience of transforming the partialdifferential governing equations approximately into a set oflinear algebraic governing equations Imposing the givenboundary conditions the numerical eigenvalue equations forthe free vibration of the (rotating or composite) conical shellare derived and solved
The differential quadrature method is a numerical tech-nique for solving the differential equations It was firstdeveloped by Bellman et al [18 19] and their associates in

2 Shock and Vibration
the early 1970s The DQ method akin to the conventionalintegral quadrature method approximates the derivative ofa function at any location by a linear summation of all thefunctional values along a mesh line The key procedure inthe DQ method applications lies in the determination ofthe weighting coefficients Shu [7 12 20 21] proposed twotypes of weighting coefficients obtained by the polynomialsand the truncated Fourier series among which the Lagrangeinterpolation functions are widely used for their simplicityexplicitness [7 21] Although it is well known that Lagrangeinterpolation functions are limited by the number of inter-polation points and severe oscillation may take place if theorder is large the use of the Gauss-Chebyshev points [7 21]can accelerate the convergence rate of the DQmethod Someworks focusing on improving the accuracy and stability ofthe DQ method are presented by proposing different waysto generate the weighting coefficients and to determine thedistribution of grid points [22ndash24]
The Fourier series with auxiliary functions was firstproposed by Li [25] to study the vibration problems of thebeam structure This method is extensively used to study the2D and 3D structural vibration and vibroacoustic problems[26ndash30] The auxiliary functions are introduced to acceleratethe convergence and deal with all the possible discontinuitiesat the end points or edges associatedwith the original Fouriercosine series This improved Fourier series method becomesa promising method to study the structural vibrationproblems
In this paper the improved Fourier expansion-baseddifferential quadrature method is proposed to solve thefree vibration behavior of the truncated conical shell Theweighting coefficients are obtained based on this improvedFourier series in a much easier way The centrosymmetricproperties of these newly proposed weighting coefficientsare also validated The following sections will illustrate thedevelopment of this hybrid method and numerical resultsare then presented to validate the effectiveness accuracyand stability of this current method on predicting the modalcharacteristics of the conical shell
2 Theoretical Formulation
For a continuous function 119891(119909) defined on [0 119871] with anabsolutely integrable derivative it can be expanded in Fouriercosine series

The first-order derivative of 119891(119909) can be done term-by-term

The second-order derivative of 119891(119909) cannot be obtainedterm-by-term which is shown as
11989110158401015840 (119909) = minus1198911015840 (119871) minus 1198911015840 (0)

These formulations basically tell that while a cosine seriescan always be differentiated term-by-term this can be doneto a sine series only if 1198911015840(0) = 1198911015840(119871) = 0 To implementthe differential quadrature algorithm the auxiliary functionsare added to traditional Fourier cosine series to cover thediscontinuity of the function at the end points and to get thederivatives term-by-termA function can be expanded as [27]

where 119886119898
and 119862119905represent the unknown Fourier expan-
sion coefficients The supplementary functions 120585119905(119909) can be
represented as arbitrary continuous functions regardless ofthe boundaries It is easy to verify that 1205851015840
1(0) = 120585101584010158401015840
3(0) =
120585101584010158402(0) = 120585101584010158401015840
4(0) = 1 and all the other 1st-order and 3rd-order
derivatives are identically equal to zero at both ends Themain purpose of introducing these supplementary functionsto standard Fourier series is to get the first four derivativesof the Fourier cosine series term-by-term As an immediatenumerical benefit the Fourier series in (4) will convergeuniformly at an accelerated rate
To implement the differential quadrature method 119873points are equally distributed on [0 119871]

119873 minus 1 119894 = 1 2 3 119873 (6)

In this proposed method the number of truncatedFourier series and the number of grid points follow therelation that 119873 = 119872 + 5 to ensure R is a square matrix tolet the inverse be more accurate Once the constant matrixR is determined the approximated Fourier series coefficientsare obtained When the DQ method was first developedpolynomials were adopted to follow this procedure to gen-erate weighting coefficients which would lead to highly illcondition when119873 is largeThe Fourier series however showmuchmore stability to derive the coefficients by the inversionof 119877 which will be validated in the results section

In this paper only four supplementary functions areadded to the Fourier cosine series which will ensure the first-four-order derivatives to converge at a high rate and to keepstability of the Fourier series Consequently first-four-orderweighting coefficient matrixes can be obtained which aresufficiently enough to study the vibration of a conical shellAdding more supplementary functions to the Fourier cosineseries will give the capability to study the correspondinghigher-order partial differential equations

The weighting coefficient matrix is then derived in thesame way as (13)
c(119894)cos = R(119894)cos lowast Rminus1cos (24)
in which c(119894)cos is the 119894th-order weighting coefficient matrix andR(119894)cos is the 119894th-order derivative of Rcos By using this typeof weighting coefficients natural frequency parameters arederived again to compare with the results obtained beforeTable 2 shows the frequency comparison between the resultsderived by these two types of weighting coefficients Thenumber of grid points is chosen as119873 = 35 It is clear that theintroduction of auxiliary functions will improve the accuracyof this method
44 Relation between the Numbers of Truncated FourierSeries and Grid Points For the study above the numbers oftruncated Fourier series and grid points follow the relationthat 119873 = 119872 + 5 to ensure that R is a square matrix It iswell known that pseudoinverse of R could also be adopted to
derive weighting coefficients even when119873 = 119872+5 Figure 6shows the natural frequency parameters when 119872 is set to119872 = 30 and 119873 = 10ndash100 It is clear that only if 119873 = 35that is119873 = 119872+5 the accurate results could be obtained Toimplement this method the relation between the numbers oftruncated Fourier series and grid points should be strictly setto119873 = 119872 + 5
45 The Centrosymmetric Properties of the Weighting Coef-ficients When DQ method was developed the centrosym-metric and skew centrosymmetric properties were observedshown as [21]
c(119894) = c(119894minus1) lowast c(1) (25)Equation (25) shows that the DQ weighting coefficient
matrix is skew centrosymmetric for odd derivatives (119894 is odd)and centrosymmetric for even order derivatives (119894 is even)when the grid distribution is symmetric with respect to thecenter point This conclusion is true for both uniform andnonuniform grids
In this proposedmethod the centrosymmetric propertiesare also validated Two types of weighting coefficients calcu-lated in different ways are employed to study the eigenvalueproblems those are
c(119894) = R(119894) lowast Rminus1 (26)
c(119894) = c(119894minus1) lowast c(1) (27)
To implement (27) c(1) is first derived based on (26)Table 3 shows the natural frequency parameters obtained by

5 Conclusions
In this paper a new method is proposed to generate theweighting coefficients of the DQ method The functionsin the DQ method are expressed as the Fourier cosineseries combined with close-form auxiliary functions Theweighting coefficients are directly derived by the inverse ofthe constant matrix which presents a much easier way Theboundary conditions and differential governing equations arediscretized to form the numerical eigenvalue equations Theresults obtained by this method are compared with thoseavailable in the literature and a good agreement is observedThe centrosymmetric properties of these newly proposedweighting coefficients are also validated By increasing thenumber of grid points the efficiency and high stability arepresented in this method The effect of those parameterswhich may affect the dynamic characteristics of the shell isalso studied
This method gives a much easier way to generate weight-ing coefficients in DQ algorithm It can also be extendedto study higher-order partial differential equations just byadding more corresponding supplementary functions to theFourier cosine series

2 Shock and Vibration
the early 1970s The DQ method akin to the conventionalintegral quadrature method approximates the derivative ofa function at any location by a linear summation of all thefunctional values along a mesh line The key procedure inthe DQ method applications lies in the determination ofthe weighting coefficients Shu [7 12 20 21] proposed twotypes of weighting coefficients obtained by the polynomialsand the truncated Fourier series among which the Lagrangeinterpolation functions are widely used for their simplicityexplicitness [7 21] Although it is well known that Lagrangeinterpolation functions are limited by the number of inter-polation points and severe oscillation may take place if theorder is large the use of the Gauss-Chebyshev points [7 21]can accelerate the convergence rate of the DQmethod Someworks focusing on improving the accuracy and stability ofthe DQ method are presented by proposing different waysto generate the weighting coefficients and to determine thedistribution of grid points [22ndash24]
The Fourier series with auxiliary functions was firstproposed by Li [25] to study the vibration problems of thebeam structure This method is extensively used to study the2D and 3D structural vibration and vibroacoustic problems[26ndash30] The auxiliary functions are introduced to acceleratethe convergence and deal with all the possible discontinuitiesat the end points or edges associatedwith the original Fouriercosine series This improved Fourier series method becomesa promising method to study the structural vibrationproblems
In this paper the improved Fourier expansion-baseddifferential quadrature method is proposed to solve thefree vibration behavior of the truncated conical shell Theweighting coefficients are obtained based on this improvedFourier series in a much easier way The centrosymmetricproperties of these newly proposed weighting coefficientsare also validated The following sections will illustrate thedevelopment of this hybrid method and numerical resultsare then presented to validate the effectiveness accuracyand stability of this current method on predicting the modalcharacteristics of the conical shell

In this proposed method the number of truncatedFourier series and the number of grid points follow therelation that 119873 = 119872 + 5 to ensure R is a square matrix tolet the inverse be more accurate Once the constant matrixR is determined the approximated Fourier series coefficientsare obtained When the DQ method was first developedpolynomials were adopted to follow this procedure to gen-erate weighting coefficients which would lead to highly illcondition when119873 is largeThe Fourier series however showmuchmore stability to derive the coefficients by the inversionof 119877 which will be validated in the results section

In this paper only four supplementary functions areadded to the Fourier cosine series which will ensure the first-four-order derivatives to converge at a high rate and to keepstability of the Fourier series Consequently first-four-orderweighting coefficient matrixes can be obtained which aresufficiently enough to study the vibration of a conical shellAdding more supplementary functions to the Fourier cosineseries will give the capability to study the correspondinghigher-order partial differential equations

Figure 1 Geometry of a conical shell and the coordinate system
Consider a conical shell structure with semivertex angle119886 and the radius of the large edge is 119877

The displacement fields of the conical shell in 119909 120579 and 119903directions are denoted by 119906 V and 119908 respectively If thecouplings between these three displacement components areignored the field functions can be expressed as
119906 = 119880 (119909) sdot cos (119899120579) cos (120596119905)
V = 119881 (119909) sdot sin (119899120579) cos (120596119905)
119908 = 119882 (119909) sdot cos (119899120579) cos (120596119905)

The weighting coefficient matrix is then derived in thesame way as (13)
c(119894)cos = R(119894)cos lowast Rminus1cos (24)
in which c(119894)cos is the 119894th-order weighting coefficient matrix andR(119894)cos is the 119894th-order derivative of Rcos By using this typeof weighting coefficients natural frequency parameters arederived again to compare with the results obtained beforeTable 2 shows the frequency comparison between the resultsderived by these two types of weighting coefficients Thenumber of grid points is chosen as119873 = 35 It is clear that theintroduction of auxiliary functions will improve the accuracyof this method
44 Relation between the Numbers of Truncated FourierSeries and Grid Points For the study above the numbers oftruncated Fourier series and grid points follow the relationthat 119873 = 119872 + 5 to ensure that R is a square matrix It iswell known that pseudoinverse of R could also be adopted to
derive weighting coefficients even when119873 = 119872+5 Figure 6shows the natural frequency parameters when 119872 is set to119872 = 30 and 119873 = 10ndash100 It is clear that only if 119873 = 35that is119873 = 119872+5 the accurate results could be obtained Toimplement this method the relation between the numbers oftruncated Fourier series and grid points should be strictly setto119873 = 119872 + 5
45 The Centrosymmetric Properties of the Weighting Coef-ficients When DQ method was developed the centrosym-metric and skew centrosymmetric properties were observedshown as [21]
c(119894) = c(119894minus1) lowast c(1) (25)Equation (25) shows that the DQ weighting coefficient
matrix is skew centrosymmetric for odd derivatives (119894 is odd)and centrosymmetric for even order derivatives (119894 is even)when the grid distribution is symmetric with respect to thecenter point This conclusion is true for both uniform andnonuniform grids
In this proposedmethod the centrosymmetric propertiesare also validated Two types of weighting coefficients calcu-lated in different ways are employed to study the eigenvalueproblems those are
c(119894) = R(119894) lowast Rminus1 (26)
c(119894) = c(119894minus1) lowast c(1) (27)
To implement (27) c(1) is first derived based on (26)Table 3 shows the natural frequency parameters obtained by

5 Conclusions
In this paper a new method is proposed to generate theweighting coefficients of the DQ method The functionsin the DQ method are expressed as the Fourier cosineseries combined with close-form auxiliary functions Theweighting coefficients are directly derived by the inverse ofthe constant matrix which presents a much easier way Theboundary conditions and differential governing equations arediscretized to form the numerical eigenvalue equations Theresults obtained by this method are compared with thoseavailable in the literature and a good agreement is observedThe centrosymmetric properties of these newly proposedweighting coefficients are also validated By increasing thenumber of grid points the efficiency and high stability arepresented in this method The effect of those parameterswhich may affect the dynamic characteristics of the shell isalso studied
This method gives a much easier way to generate weight-ing coefficients in DQ algorithm It can also be extendedto study higher-order partial differential equations just byadding more corresponding supplementary functions to theFourier cosine series

In this proposed method the number of truncatedFourier series and the number of grid points follow therelation that 119873 = 119872 + 5 to ensure R is a square matrix tolet the inverse be more accurate Once the constant matrixR is determined the approximated Fourier series coefficientsare obtained When the DQ method was first developedpolynomials were adopted to follow this procedure to gen-erate weighting coefficients which would lead to highly illcondition when119873 is largeThe Fourier series however showmuchmore stability to derive the coefficients by the inversionof 119877 which will be validated in the results section

In this paper only four supplementary functions areadded to the Fourier cosine series which will ensure the first-four-order derivatives to converge at a high rate and to keepstability of the Fourier series Consequently first-four-orderweighting coefficient matrixes can be obtained which aresufficiently enough to study the vibration of a conical shellAdding more supplementary functions to the Fourier cosineseries will give the capability to study the correspondinghigher-order partial differential equations

The weighting coefficient matrix is then derived in thesame way as (13)
c(119894)cos = R(119894)cos lowast Rminus1cos (24)
in which c(119894)cos is the 119894th-order weighting coefficient matrix andR(119894)cos is the 119894th-order derivative of Rcos By using this typeof weighting coefficients natural frequency parameters arederived again to compare with the results obtained beforeTable 2 shows the frequency comparison between the resultsderived by these two types of weighting coefficients Thenumber of grid points is chosen as119873 = 35 It is clear that theintroduction of auxiliary functions will improve the accuracyof this method
44 Relation between the Numbers of Truncated FourierSeries and Grid Points For the study above the numbers oftruncated Fourier series and grid points follow the relationthat 119873 = 119872 + 5 to ensure that R is a square matrix It iswell known that pseudoinverse of R could also be adopted to
derive weighting coefficients even when119873 = 119872+5 Figure 6shows the natural frequency parameters when 119872 is set to119872 = 30 and 119873 = 10ndash100 It is clear that only if 119873 = 35that is119873 = 119872+5 the accurate results could be obtained Toimplement this method the relation between the numbers oftruncated Fourier series and grid points should be strictly setto119873 = 119872 + 5
45 The Centrosymmetric Properties of the Weighting Coef-ficients When DQ method was developed the centrosym-metric and skew centrosymmetric properties were observedshown as [21]
c(119894) = c(119894minus1) lowast c(1) (25)Equation (25) shows that the DQ weighting coefficient
matrix is skew centrosymmetric for odd derivatives (119894 is odd)and centrosymmetric for even order derivatives (119894 is even)when the grid distribution is symmetric with respect to thecenter point This conclusion is true for both uniform andnonuniform grids
In this proposedmethod the centrosymmetric propertiesare also validated Two types of weighting coefficients calcu-lated in different ways are employed to study the eigenvalueproblems those are
c(119894) = R(119894) lowast Rminus1 (26)
c(119894) = c(119894minus1) lowast c(1) (27)
To implement (27) c(1) is first derived based on (26)Table 3 shows the natural frequency parameters obtained by

5 Conclusions
In this paper a new method is proposed to generate theweighting coefficients of the DQ method The functionsin the DQ method are expressed as the Fourier cosineseries combined with close-form auxiliary functions Theweighting coefficients are directly derived by the inverse ofthe constant matrix which presents a much easier way Theboundary conditions and differential governing equations arediscretized to form the numerical eigenvalue equations Theresults obtained by this method are compared with thoseavailable in the literature and a good agreement is observedThe centrosymmetric properties of these newly proposedweighting coefficients are also validated By increasing thenumber of grid points the efficiency and high stability arepresented in this method The effect of those parameterswhich may affect the dynamic characteristics of the shell isalso studied
This method gives a much easier way to generate weight-ing coefficients in DQ algorithm It can also be extendedto study higher-order partial differential equations just byadding more corresponding supplementary functions to theFourier cosine series

In this paper only four supplementary functions areadded to the Fourier cosine series which will ensure the first-four-order derivatives to converge at a high rate and to keepstability of the Fourier series Consequently first-four-orderweighting coefficient matrixes can be obtained which aresufficiently enough to study the vibration of a conical shellAdding more supplementary functions to the Fourier cosineseries will give the capability to study the correspondinghigher-order partial differential equations

Figure 1 Geometry of a conical shell and the coordinate system
Consider a conical shell structure with semivertex angle119886 and the radius of the large edge is 119877
0 as shown in Figure 1
The displacement fields of the conical shell in 119909 120579 and 119903directions are denoted by 119906 V and 119908 respectively If thecouplings between these three displacement components areignored the field functions can be expressed as
119906 = 119880 (119909) sdot cos (119899120579) cos (120596119905)
V = 119881 (119909) sdot sin (119899120579) cos (120596119905)
119908 = 119882 (119909) sdot cos (119899120579) cos (120596119905)
(14)
in which 119899 and 120596 are the circumferential wave number andthe frequency in radsec respectively
The differential governing equations of the conical shellbased upon Flugge theory are written as

by this method and FEM the fast convergence behaviorand high stability of this method are observed The naturalfrequency parameters keep stable evenwith a large number ofgrid points In the following calculation the number of gridpoints will be chosen as119873 = 30

The weighting coefficient matrix is then derived in thesame way as (13)
c(119894)cos = R(119894)cos lowast Rminus1cos (24)
in which c(119894)cos is the 119894th-order weighting coefficient matrix andR(119894)cos is the 119894th-order derivative of Rcos By using this typeof weighting coefficients natural frequency parameters arederived again to compare with the results obtained beforeTable 2 shows the frequency comparison between the resultsderived by these two types of weighting coefficients Thenumber of grid points is chosen as119873 = 35 It is clear that theintroduction of auxiliary functions will improve the accuracyof this method
44 Relation between the Numbers of Truncated FourierSeries and Grid Points For the study above the numbers oftruncated Fourier series and grid points follow the relationthat 119873 = 119872 + 5 to ensure that R is a square matrix It iswell known that pseudoinverse of R could also be adopted to
derive weighting coefficients even when119873 = 119872+5 Figure 6shows the natural frequency parameters when 119872 is set to119872 = 30 and 119873 = 10ndash100 It is clear that only if 119873 = 35that is119873 = 119872+5 the accurate results could be obtained Toimplement this method the relation between the numbers oftruncated Fourier series and grid points should be strictly setto119873 = 119872 + 5
45 The Centrosymmetric Properties of the Weighting Coef-ficients When DQ method was developed the centrosym-metric and skew centrosymmetric properties were observedshown as [21]
c(119894) = c(119894minus1) lowast c(1) (25)Equation (25) shows that the DQ weighting coefficient
matrix is skew centrosymmetric for odd derivatives (119894 is odd)and centrosymmetric for even order derivatives (119894 is even)when the grid distribution is symmetric with respect to thecenter point This conclusion is true for both uniform andnonuniform grids
In this proposedmethod the centrosymmetric propertiesare also validated Two types of weighting coefficients calcu-lated in different ways are employed to study the eigenvalueproblems those are
c(119894) = R(119894) lowast Rminus1 (26)
c(119894) = c(119894minus1) lowast c(1) (27)
To implement (27) c(1) is first derived based on (26)Table 3 shows the natural frequency parameters obtained by

5 Conclusions
In this paper a new method is proposed to generate theweighting coefficients of the DQ method The functionsin the DQ method are expressed as the Fourier cosineseries combined with close-form auxiliary functions Theweighting coefficients are directly derived by the inverse ofthe constant matrix which presents a much easier way Theboundary conditions and differential governing equations arediscretized to form the numerical eigenvalue equations Theresults obtained by this method are compared with thoseavailable in the literature and a good agreement is observedThe centrosymmetric properties of these newly proposedweighting coefficients are also validated By increasing thenumber of grid points the efficiency and high stability arepresented in this method The effect of those parameterswhich may affect the dynamic characteristics of the shell isalso studied
This method gives a much easier way to generate weight-ing coefficients in DQ algorithm It can also be extendedto study higher-order partial differential equations just byadding more corresponding supplementary functions to theFourier cosine series

The weighting coefficient matrix is then derived in thesame way as (13)
c(119894)cos = R(119894)cos lowast Rminus1cos (24)
in which c(119894)cos is the 119894th-order weighting coefficient matrix andR(119894)cos is the 119894th-order derivative of Rcos By using this typeof weighting coefficients natural frequency parameters arederived again to compare with the results obtained beforeTable 2 shows the frequency comparison between the resultsderived by these two types of weighting coefficients Thenumber of grid points is chosen as119873 = 35 It is clear that theintroduction of auxiliary functions will improve the accuracyof this method
44 Relation between the Numbers of Truncated FourierSeries and Grid Points For the study above the numbers oftruncated Fourier series and grid points follow the relationthat 119873 = 119872 + 5 to ensure that R is a square matrix It iswell known that pseudoinverse of R could also be adopted to
derive weighting coefficients even when119873 = 119872+5 Figure 6shows the natural frequency parameters when 119872 is set to119872 = 30 and 119873 = 10ndash100 It is clear that only if 119873 = 35that is119873 = 119872+5 the accurate results could be obtained Toimplement this method the relation between the numbers oftruncated Fourier series and grid points should be strictly setto119873 = 119872 + 5
45 The Centrosymmetric Properties of the Weighting Coef-ficients When DQ method was developed the centrosym-metric and skew centrosymmetric properties were observedshown as [21]
c(119894) = c(119894minus1) lowast c(1) (25)Equation (25) shows that the DQ weighting coefficient
matrix is skew centrosymmetric for odd derivatives (119894 is odd)and centrosymmetric for even order derivatives (119894 is even)when the grid distribution is symmetric with respect to thecenter point This conclusion is true for both uniform andnonuniform grids
In this proposedmethod the centrosymmetric propertiesare also validated Two types of weighting coefficients calcu-lated in different ways are employed to study the eigenvalueproblems those are
c(119894) = R(119894) lowast Rminus1 (26)
c(119894) = c(119894minus1) lowast c(1) (27)
To implement (27) c(1) is first derived based on (26)Table 3 shows the natural frequency parameters obtained by

by this method and FEM the fast convergence behaviorand high stability of this method are observed The naturalfrequency parameters keep stable evenwith a large number ofgrid points In the following calculation the number of gridpoints will be chosen as119873 = 30

The weighting coefficient matrix is then derived in thesame way as (13)
c(119894)cos = R(119894)cos lowast Rminus1cos (24)
in which c(119894)cos is the 119894th-order weighting coefficient matrix andR(119894)cos is the 119894th-order derivative of Rcos By using this typeof weighting coefficients natural frequency parameters arederived again to compare with the results obtained beforeTable 2 shows the frequency comparison between the resultsderived by these two types of weighting coefficients Thenumber of grid points is chosen as119873 = 35 It is clear that theintroduction of auxiliary functions will improve the accuracyof this method
44 Relation between the Numbers of Truncated FourierSeries and Grid Points For the study above the numbers oftruncated Fourier series and grid points follow the relationthat 119873 = 119872 + 5 to ensure that R is a square matrix It iswell known that pseudoinverse of R could also be adopted to
derive weighting coefficients even when119873 = 119872+5 Figure 6shows the natural frequency parameters when 119872 is set to119872 = 30 and 119873 = 10ndash100 It is clear that only if 119873 = 35that is119873 = 119872+5 the accurate results could be obtained Toimplement this method the relation between the numbers oftruncated Fourier series and grid points should be strictly setto119873 = 119872 + 5
45 The Centrosymmetric Properties of the Weighting Coef-ficients When DQ method was developed the centrosym-metric and skew centrosymmetric properties were observedshown as [21]
c(119894) = c(119894minus1) lowast c(1) (25)Equation (25) shows that the DQ weighting coefficient
matrix is skew centrosymmetric for odd derivatives (119894 is odd)and centrosymmetric for even order derivatives (119894 is even)when the grid distribution is symmetric with respect to thecenter point This conclusion is true for both uniform andnonuniform grids
In this proposedmethod the centrosymmetric propertiesare also validated Two types of weighting coefficients calcu-lated in different ways are employed to study the eigenvalueproblems those are
c(119894) = R(119894) lowast Rminus1 (26)
c(119894) = c(119894minus1) lowast c(1) (27)
To implement (27) c(1) is first derived based on (26)Table 3 shows the natural frequency parameters obtained by

The weighting coefficient matrix is then derived in thesame way as (13)
c(119894)cos = R(119894)cos lowast Rminus1cos (24)
in which c(119894)cos is the 119894th-order weighting coefficient matrix andR(119894)cos is the 119894th-order derivative of Rcos By using this typeof weighting coefficients natural frequency parameters arederived again to compare with the results obtained beforeTable 2 shows the frequency comparison between the resultsderived by these two types of weighting coefficients Thenumber of grid points is chosen as119873 = 35 It is clear that theintroduction of auxiliary functions will improve the accuracyof this method
44 Relation between the Numbers of Truncated FourierSeries and Grid Points For the study above the numbers oftruncated Fourier series and grid points follow the relationthat 119873 = 119872 + 5 to ensure that R is a square matrix It iswell known that pseudoinverse of R could also be adopted to
derive weighting coefficients even when119873 = 119872+5 Figure 6shows the natural frequency parameters when 119872 is set to119872 = 30 and 119873 = 10ndash100 It is clear that only if 119873 = 35that is119873 = 119872+5 the accurate results could be obtained Toimplement this method the relation between the numbers oftruncated Fourier series and grid points should be strictly setto119873 = 119872 + 5
45 The Centrosymmetric Properties of the Weighting Coef-ficients When DQ method was developed the centrosym-metric and skew centrosymmetric properties were observedshown as [21]
c(119894) = c(119894minus1) lowast c(1) (25)Equation (25) shows that the DQ weighting coefficient
matrix is skew centrosymmetric for odd derivatives (119894 is odd)and centrosymmetric for even order derivatives (119894 is even)when the grid distribution is symmetric with respect to thecenter point This conclusion is true for both uniform andnonuniform grids
In this proposedmethod the centrosymmetric propertiesare also validated Two types of weighting coefficients calcu-lated in different ways are employed to study the eigenvalueproblems those are
c(119894) = R(119894) lowast Rminus1 (26)
c(119894) = c(119894minus1) lowast c(1) (27)
To implement (27) c(1) is first derived based on (26)Table 3 shows the natural frequency parameters obtained by

5 Conclusions
In this paper a new method is proposed to generate theweighting coefficients of the DQ method The functionsin the DQ method are expressed as the Fourier cosineseries combined with close-form auxiliary functions Theweighting coefficients are directly derived by the inverse ofthe constant matrix which presents a much easier way Theboundary conditions and differential governing equations arediscretized to form the numerical eigenvalue equations Theresults obtained by this method are compared with thoseavailable in the literature and a good agreement is observedThe centrosymmetric properties of these newly proposedweighting coefficients are also validated By increasing thenumber of grid points the efficiency and high stability arepresented in this method The effect of those parameterswhich may affect the dynamic characteristics of the shell isalso studied
This method gives a much easier way to generate weight-ing coefficients in DQ algorithm It can also be extendedto study higher-order partial differential equations just byadding more corresponding supplementary functions to theFourier cosine series

and variable semivertex angle 119886 = 30∘ndash90∘ Figure 8 showsthe natural frequency parameters of different circumferentialwave numbers As semivertex angle increasing to 90∘ thefrequencies converge to one value This phenomenon can beexplained by the fact that the conical shell degenerates to acircular plate when semivertex angle is 90∘
5 Conclusions
In this paper a new method is proposed to generate theweighting coefficients of the DQ method The functionsin the DQ method are expressed as the Fourier cosineseries combined with close-form auxiliary functions Theweighting coefficients are directly derived by the inverse ofthe constant matrix which presents a much easier way Theboundary conditions and differential governing equations arediscretized to form the numerical eigenvalue equations Theresults obtained by this method are compared with thoseavailable in the literature and a good agreement is observedThe centrosymmetric properties of these newly proposedweighting coefficients are also validated By increasing thenumber of grid points the efficiency and high stability arepresented in this method The effect of those parameterswhich may affect the dynamic characteristics of the shell isalso studied
This method gives a much easier way to generate weight-ing coefficients in DQ algorithm It can also be extendedto study higher-order partial differential equations just byadding more corresponding supplementary functions to theFourier cosine series
