PERTURBATION FINITE ELEMENT METHOD FOR SOLVING GEOMETRICALLY NONLINEAR PROBLEMS OF AXISYMMETRICAL SHELL

In analysing the geometrically nonlinear problem of an axisymmetrical thin-walled shell, the paper combines the perturbation method with the finite element method by introducing the former into the variational equation to obtain a series of linear equations of different orders and then solving the equations with the latter. It is well-known that the finite element method can be used to deal with difficult problems as in the case of structures with complicated shapes or boundary conditions, and the perturbation method can change the nonlinear problems into linear ones. Evidently the combination of the two methods will give an efficient solution to many difficult nonlinear problems and clear away some obstacles resulted from using any of the two methods solely. The paper derives all the formulas concerning an axisym-metric shell of large deformation by means of the perturbation finite element method and gives two numerical examples,the results of which show good convergence characteristics.

Analytical procedure for determining the linear and nonlinear effective properties of the elastic composite cylinder

In this work we consider a cylindrical structure composed of a nonlinear core (inhomogeneity) surrounded by a different nonlinear shell (matrix). We elaborate a technique for determining its linear elastic moduli (second order elastic constants) and the nonlinear elastic moduli, which are called Landau coefficients (third order elastic constants). Firstly, we develop a nonlinear perturbation method which is able to turn the initial nonlinear elastic problem into a couple of linear problems. Then, we prove that only the solution of the first linear problem is necessary to calculate the linear and nonlinear effective properties of the heterogeneous structure. The following step consists in the exact solution of such a linear problem by means of the complex elastic potentials. As result we obtain the exact closed forms for the linear and nonlinear effective elastic moduli, which are valid for any volume fraction of the core embedded in the external shell.

The perturbation finite element method for solving problems with nonlinear materials

The perturbation method is one of the effective methods for so-lving problems in nonlinear continuum mechanics.It has been de-veloped on the basis of the linear analytical solutions for the o-riginal problems.If a simple analytical solution cannot be ob-tained.we would encounter difficulties in applying this method tosolving certain complicated nonlinear problems.The finite ele-ment method appears to be in its turn a very useful means for sol-ving nonlinear problems,but generally it takes too much time incomputation.In the present paper a mixed approach,namely,theperturbation finite element method,is introduced,which incorpo-rates the advantages of the two above-mentioned methods and enablesus to solve more complicated nonlinear problems with great savingin computing time.Problems in the elastoplastic region have been discussed anda numerical solution for a plate with a central hole under tensionis given in this paper.     

Perturbation initial parameter method for solving the geometrical nonlinear problem of axisymmetrical shells

In the previous paper[7], the author presented a System of First-Order Differential Equations for the problem of axisynrm’trically loaded shells of revolution with small elastic. strains and arbitrarily large axial deflections, and a Method of Variable-Characteristic Nondimensionization with a Scale of Load Parameter. On this basis, by taking the weighted root-mean-square deviation of angular deflection from linearity as perturbation parameter, this paper pressents a perturbation system of nondimensional differential equations for the problem, thus transforms the geometrical nonlinear problem into several linear problems. This paper calculates these linear problems by means of the initial parameter method of numerical integration. The numerical results agree quite well with the experiments[4].     

A semi-analytical solution for linearized multicomponent cation exchange reactive transport in groundwater

Cation exchange in groundwater is one of the dominant surface reactions. Mass transfer of cation exchanging pollutants in groundwater is highly nonlinear due to the complex nonlinearities of exchange isotherms. This makes difficult to derive analytical solutions for transport equations. Available analytical solutions are valid only for binary cation exchange transport in 1-D and often disregard dispersion. Here we present a semi-analytical solution for linearized multication exchange reactive transport in steady 1-, 2- or 3-D groundwater flow. Nonlinear cation exchange mass–action–law equations are first linearized by means of a first-order Taylor expansion of log-concentrations around some selected reference concentrations and then substituted into transport equations. The resulting set of coupled partial differential equations (PDEs) are decoupled by means of a matrix similarity transformation which is applied also to boundary and initial concentrations. Uncoupled PDE’s are solved by standard analytical solutions. Concentrations of the original problem are obtained by back-transforming the solution of uncoupled PDEs. The semi-analytical solution compares well with nonlinear numerical solutions computed with a reactive transport code (CORE^2D) for several 1-D test cases involving two and three cations having moderate retardation factors. Deviations of the semi-analytical solution from numerical solutions increase with increasing cation exchange capacity (CEC), but do not depend on Peclet number. The semi-analytical solution captures the fronts of ternary systems in an approximate manner and tends to oversmooth sharp fronts for large retardation factors. The semi-analytical solution performs better with reference concentrations equal to the arithmetic average of boundary and initial concentrations than it does with reference concentrations derived from the arithmetic average of log-concentrations of boundary and initial waters.     

Perturbation solution to the nonlinear problem of oblique water exit of an axisymmetric body with a large exit-angle

In this paper,a nonlinear,unsteady3-D free surface problem of the oblique water exitof an axisymmetric body with a large water exit-angle was investigated by means of theperturbation method in which the complementary angle a of the water exit angle waschosen as a small parameter.The original3-D problem was solved by expanding it into apower series of a and reduced to a number of2-D problems.The integral expressions forthe first three order solutions were given in terms of the complete elliptic functions of thefirst and second kinds.The zeroth-order solution didn‘t turn out to be a linear problem asusual but a nonlinear one corresponding to the vertical water exit for the same body.Computational results were presented for the free surface shapes and the forces exerted upto the second order during the oblique water exit of a series of ellipsoids with various ratiosof length to diameter at different Froude numbers.

A refined asymptotic perturbation method for nonlinear dynamical systems

In this paper, a refined asymptotic perturbation method for general nonlinear dynamical systems is proposed for the first time. This method can be considered as an alternative means for the traditional multiple scales method. Moreover, it is easier to be understood and used to carry out higher-order perturbation analysis. In addition, three examples including the Duffing equation, a system with quadratic and cubic nonlinearities to a subharmonic excitation, as well as the coupled van der Pol oscillator with parametrical excitations are investigated to illustrate the validity and usefulness of the proposed technique. The analytical and numerical results show good agreement.     

Nonlinear thermo-elastic buckling characteristics of cross-ply laminated joined conical–cylindrical shells

Here, the nonlinear thermo-elastic buckling/post-buckling characteristics of laminated circular conical–cylindrical/conical–cylindrical–conical joined shells subjected to uniform temperature rise are studied employing semi-analytical finite element approach. The nonlinear governing equations, considering geometric nonlinearity based on von Karman’s assumption for moderately large deformation, are solved using Newton–Raphson iteration procedure coupled with displacement control method to trace the pre-buckling/post-buckling equilibrium path. The presence of asymmetric perturbation in the form of small magnitude load spatially proportional to the linear buckling mode shape is assumed to initiate the bifurcation of the shell deformation. The study is carried out to highlight the influences of semi-cone angle, material properties and number of circumferential waves on the nonlinear thermo-elastic response of the different joined shell systems.

Van der Pol type self-excited micro-cantilever probe of atomic force microscopy

A technique for dimensional reduction of nonlinear delay differential equations (DDEs) with time-periodic coefficients is presented. The DDEs considered here have a canonical form with at most cubic nonlinearities and periodic coefficients. The nonlinear terms are multiplied by a perturbation parameter. Perturbation expansion converts the nonlinear response problem into solutions of a series of nonhomogeneous linear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) with time-periodic coefficients. One set of linear nonhomogeneous ODEs is solved for each power of the perturbation parameter. Each ODE is solved by a Chebyshev spectral collocation method. Thus we compute a finite approximation to the nonlinear infinite-dimensional map for the DDE. The linear part of the map is the monodromy operator whose eigenvalues characterize stability. Dimensional reduction on the map is then carried out. In the case of critical eigenvalues, this corresponds to center manifold reduction, while for the noncritical case resonance conditions are derived. The accuracy of the nonlinear Chebyshev collocation map is demonstrated by finding the solution of a nonlinear delayed Mathieu equation and then a milling model via the method of steps. Center manifold reduction is illustrated via a single inverted pendulum including both a periodic retarded follower force and a nonlinear restoring force. In this example, the amplitude of the limit cycle associated with a flip bifurcation is found analytically and compared to that obtained from direct numerical simulation. The method of this paper is shown by example to be applicable to systems with strong parametric excitations.     

Self-adaptive one-dimensional nonlinear finite element method based on element energy projection method

The element energy projection （EEP） method for computation of super- convergent resulting in a one-dimensional finite element method （FEM） is successfully used to self-adaptive FEM analysis of various linear problems, based on which this paper presents a substantial extension of the whole set of technology to nonlinear problems. The main idea behind the technology transfer from linear analysis to nonlinear analysis is to use Newton＇s method to linearize nonlinear problems into a series of linear problems so that the EEP formulation and the corresponding adaptive strategy can be directly used without the need for specific super-convergence formulation for nonlinear FEM. As a re- sult, a unified and general self-adaptive algorithm for nonlinear FEM analysis is formed. The proposed algorithm is found to be able to produce satisfactory finite element results with accuracy satisfying the user-preset error tolerances by maximum norm anywhere on the mesh. Taking the nonlinear ordinary differential equation （ODE） of second-order as the model problem, this paper describes the related fundamental idea, the imple- mentation strategy, and the computational algorithm. Representative numerical exam- ples are given to show the efficiency, stability, versatility, and reliability of the proposed approach.

The dynamic interaction problems of three-dimensional linear elastic structures witharbitrary shaped section embedded in a homogeneous,isotropic and linear elastic half spaceunder dynamic disturbances are numerically solved.The numerical method employed is acombination of the time domain semi-analytical boundary element method(SBEM)usedfor the semi-infinite soil medium and the semi-analytical finite element method(SFEM)used for the three-dimensional structure.The two methods are combined throughequilibrium and compatibility conditions at the soil-structure interface.Displacements,velocities,accelerations and interaction forces at the interface between undergroundstructure and soil medium produced by the diffraction of wave by an underground structurefor every time step are obtained.In dynamic soil-structure interaction problems,it isadvantageous to combine the SBEM and the SFEM in an effort to produce an optimumnumerical hybrid scheme which is characterized by the main advantages of the two methods.The
